The Lancaster Eagle he's the hardwood TO
talk of "the universal disfavor with which
the new postal law IS received. 2" The new
postal Law is simply that there shall De no
free matter carried in the mails. That is
right, and there Is no disfayor about II, ex-
cept among those who have been enjoying
privileges to which they were not entitled.

Tag FRAMING PRIyILEGE.-Hardly is the
new postal law put into operation before we
hear murmurings from the newspaper press
in regard to the curtailing of their free ex-
change privileges. There seems to be
general opinion that the franking and free
exchange privileges will be reiustated at the
next session of Congress. We hope not.
There is no reason on earth why one man or
uny particular class should, under any pre-
tence or for any reason, use the United States
mails withouf charge. We agree with the
Dispatch that any newspaper that cannot
support itself without assistance from the
Government in any shape deserves to die
it is q nuisance that cannot be too soen
abated. The Roanoke Vdlley stands firm
lis able TO pay postage on its exchanges; and
also to pay for any exshanses IT may need

From the Louisville Comier-Journal
of March 2Sth We copy the following
mournful paragraph: -..
Mr.. J. c. Hildreth, Superintendent of
the Portland and Oregon Railroad, form
erly a well-known railroad man in this
city, came on from his home in the far
Northwest some two weeks ago for the
purpose of bringing the remains of his
wife, who had died III Illinois few
days before, to this city, to find sepul-
ture in Cave Hill Cemetery. After per-
forming this sad duty he went on to
New York and brought back the body
of his child, a little glrl, and whom he
desired should repose beside that of her
mother. On Friday last he started for
Oregon, going by way of Peoria, ILL.,,
where he had left his little boy, only
about three months old, in charge ofhis
sister-in-law. Yesterday a friend re-
ceived telegram from him stating that
the child had died Thursday, the day
previous to his departure from this city,
and that he would be here o-day to lay
the la member of his little family
group beside the others. 1t seldom hap
pers that SO sad series of events oc-
ours to one man within so short a space
of time

RAILRoADs.-In conversation with Mr..
Philip Ritz, who has just returned from
the Atlantic States, where he was in con-
Itsnt communication with the leading
men of the North Pacific, we learn that
there is little probability of anything
being done this year on the main line of
the road leading out from the Columbia.
The scarcity of money, and otaer causes
not necessary to enumerate, will prevent
active railroad operations for the pre-
sent. In regard to our local roads the
report is more encouraging. Arrange
inents have been made that will secure
the building of the road from this point
to the landing in time to freight this sea-
sons crop. In the event that suitable
arrangements can be made with our
home company, work will be Inaugural
ted without the least delay. The propo-
sitio1 is to put down q narrow track
fromitht river to Walla Walla, and then
continue on first to Grand Ronde Val
leys and thence the objective point will
be Baker City. Mr.. Ritz is sanguine
that the plan here sketched can be car
ried ont, and that all the assistance re-
ouired will be on hand as wanted. We
write 1T late hour and at another time
we hope to give full details in regard to
enterprises in which our people are vi
tally interested.-W Wdtla IVaiLa States

FATAL REASONING In order to let the
reader understand the temper of Gen.
Candy toward the savages who slaugh-
tered him, and to stronger prove their
treachery and fiendishness, we copy
from the Washington correspondence of
the New York Herald, March 31st, this:
General Candy telegraphs to General
Sherman that the Commission to the
Modocs works we'll. He says that OH
the 9th instant the Modocs again invi-
ted conference, and Col. Gillem. with
the party examining the approaches to
the lava beds, had an interview with two
of the most intelligent, both, however.
of the peace party. He is of the opinion
that they are more subdued and more
amenabie to reasoning than at the last
interview. Gen. Candy thinks that
when the avenues of escape are closed
andtheir supplies cut off or abridged
they will come in.

WHITE SALMON REGIoS.-- Charles
Schram, assistant assessor of Multano-
nah county, has been spending the win
ter near the head of White SalI:.on
River, and the Big Camas Prairie, in
Washington Territory, off the Columbia
River, \ short distance in the vicinity''f
Mt. St. Helen and Mt. Adams. Mr..
Schram speaks highly of the region rs a
good range for stock. The valley of
White Salmon is about four miles wide,
and from sixteen to thirty in length. II
is great resort for Indians from abhn
the middle of June to September. III e,
came in last year fully LOO strong, i'll
cIuding women and children, and had II.
least 5000 head of horses with them.
They dig camas there in June, and then
wait until blue berries are ripe, ,aud then
enter the patch, about forty acres in ex-
tent, picking it almost clean, drying tbs
fruit for future use. The work of dig.
ging camas and picking berries is chief
ly done by the women, while the mer.
race horses and trade together. After
the berry crop is gathered tie women
rest and the men fish, curing the fish
they catch for winter. After fishing
comes cranberrying, and when the
marsh. eighty or ninety acres in extent'
is raked over they leave. These Indians
belong to various tribes, but have never
been known to molest anyone. Mr..
Schram says but little snow fell in that
vicinity last winter. and he is inclined
to count it favorable for stock of every
kind as any other portion of the country
east of the Cascade range. He will re-
turn there next October. Portland But

OPPOSITION LINE.-An Oregon paper
says that Col. Jo Teal, who has lately
returned from the East, made arrange
ments in Philadelphia for two steam
prope1lers, and will place them on the
line between San Francisco and Port
land at un early day. We of this section
are interested in this matter, not so
much on accoun- of the reductions Of
tares and freight, as to the certainty of
connections which well conducted line
of steamers will establish, and which
the managers of the present line utterly
disregard, consulting their own conven-
iencA solely, in entire disregard of the
convenience of others. 1t is, We be-
lieve, the only regular line of steamers
in the world which has no stated times
for departure. The consequence is.
that persons from the Sound, or from
the upper Columbia, going to Portland
to take passage for San Francisco, may
arrive there just in time to find that the
steamer has departed a day or two, or it
may be only a few hours, before the
expected time, and in consequence they
are detained there a week before the
next steamer leay es. They make four
trips a month. and their usual time of
leaving Portland is on Friday of each
week; but there is no certainty at any
time that some other day may not be
selected without any extended notice of
the change. When the steamer departs
on Wednesday, as is frequently the case,
passengers from here must start on
the Friday before to make the connec-
ton, thus losing about three days time,
when if they had any assurance that the
steamer would leave on Thursday or
Friday, they could make the connection
at Portland by leaving here on the
Tuesday night steamer. The uncer-
tainty often causes vcxatious disappoint-
ments and sometimes serious damage to
those who trust to making the passage
in given time, and turns the greater
portion of the travel between the Sound
and San Francisco. by the way of Vic
toria, and from Idaho and Montana, to
the Genital Pacific railroad-not as pre-
ferable routes of travel, but because of
the certainty of time.
The steam communication between
Portland and the Sound, is much more
uncertain, and consequently extremely
detrimental to reciprocal trade. The
merchant here who finds an unusua
demand for any article and his supply
getting short, would naturally order
from Portland as the nearest base of
supply; but if he does, he knows that
he may possibly get it in three days,
and may probably have to wait three
weeks, when he finds his customers sup
piled from some other quarter, and
their trade transferred in consequence;
when by ordering from San Francisco,
by the Victoria route, though the tran
sit may be little longer, he can prom
Use with certainty when it will be deliv-
cred. The trade between Puget Sound
and Portland would be largely increased
by regularity of transmission, though
there was no increase of the number of
trips in given time. We owe Mr..
Holiday or his steamer lines no ill-will,
but if he will pay no attention to the
convenience or accommodation of the
public, we hope somebody will super
cede him in the business who Will.
