Direct Steam Communication.

We have reliable information that
he Pacific Mail S. S. Co.'s steamer
Dakota, Capt. Morse, will, upon her
next voyage from San Francisco,
March 30th, resume her regular
trips to Olympia. Merchants and
shippers may feel assured of this and
govern themselves accordingly. With
the present voyage hence from Vic
toria on the Goth, terminated her
calling in at Utsalady. Capt. Morse,
to whom our people are indebted for
his persistent and successful advo-
cacy of the policy of extending The
trips to inland Sound ports instead
of making Port Townsend the port
of arrival and departure, expressed
The hope that he citizens of the
upper Sound would appreciate the
necessity which had compelled the
suspension of trips to Olympia dur
ing the past Winter. The shortness
of the days, the fogg.v weather, the
limited trade, the time essential in
going TO Utsalady for the produce
concentrated at that point, COM
bined to render coming to Olym-
pia, almost impracticable. Referring
to the contemplated return of this
favolite steamship to Olympia, which
with her accommodating officers will
be SO heartily welcomed by our citiz-
ems, we desile TO advert to recent
publication as to the steamship Da-
ioia having been passed at sea, on
the trip before the last, by Che steam
ship Oregon, of the Portland line,
both bound northward from San
Francisco. The facts derived from
a disinterested source, are briefly
these: The steamships Granada,
Dakota and Oregon, left San Fran
cisco about the same time, in the
order named. The Dakota leading
the Oregon for some time, continued
to make 49, revolutions per minute,
1Ga knots per hour. She reduced
her speed to 16 revolutions when the
Oregon gradually gained upon her,
coming up TO within q or 8 miles CT
her. The Dakota then increased the
number of revolutions to II $40 per
minute, which was found to be about
the Oregon's rate of speed, the two
vessels keeping about the same dis
lance apart-about % miles. This
continued, the Oregon not gaining
an inch, till heavy fog closed in,
when not only the. strict orders of
the company but the prudence and
judgment of Capt. Morse, and the
safety of the passengers and ship
committed to his care, dictated slow
ing down to s revolutions per min
ute. While running at this reduced
speed, The Oregon passed the Dakota.
To the credit of the Paciic Mail
Steamship Company and the honor
of the gallant captain, life was too
precious to be sacrificed by reckless
speed in fog bank. As the Dakota
can make % revolutions per minute,
as she can hold, and did hold, the
Oregon level while making only II
$40 revolutions per minute, the
Oregon may exult over such a pass,
but we confess Chat we fail 10 see
where the beat comes ill.,"

We have been informed that Mr..
Francis Henry, of his place, has
accepted an invitation 10 deliver the
fifth lecture of the course under The
auspices of the Philomathean So
cieiy of Portland, on the evening of
the 2Sth inst. His subject will be
-" Western Humor," a topic he is
specially qualified for setting forth
in its strongest light. His position
as Eminent Commander OF tbe In
dependent Order of industrial Co.
operatives has brought bin into
close fraternal relations with men of
all temperaments, and afforded
wide field for the profitable study OF
che different phases of humaa nature.
The bright side, it is well known,
has always been his favorite plane OF
observation, and he is thus enabled
to instruct, as we'll as amuse, an au-
dience in those subtle distinctions,
seldom recognized. between wit and
humor. The difference which Web
ster defines is, that humor, while be-
ing less poignant and brilliant than
wit, is always agreeable. Wit di-
lected against folly, often offends
by its severity, while humor makes
one ashamed of his follies, without
exciting resentment. We believe
that MIR. Henry will successfully
establish this line of demarkatiou,
and illustrate his subject by the
most novel appliances. We have
been shown one of the properties"
to be used in the proposed lecture,
and it is CONSTRUCTED on the most
colossal scale of unique magni6cence.
We feel assured that the report from
it will be heard far beyond the linn
ats of the Masonic Temple, in Port
land, on The evening of The 2Sth
instant.

Protect the Salmon.

SdluOu-uSuluS iuleleSt VI tulS NoItn-
western coast has grown within a
few years. The Columbia river fish
cries are, perhaps, the best known
abroad, but Puget Sound, with its
hundreds of salmon-producing trib-
utaries, is destined, ere long, to be-
come rival of no small proportions.
Accommodating and prospecting
parties are already on the alert, and
for several years, some fine ship
ments have been made from our wal
tiers. Now, in the inception of this
important branch of industry, we
need some efficient legislation to
protect the as yet limited supply and
prevent the vandalism that, if I'M
restrained, is sure to empty cur
streams entirely of this valuable al
ticle of food. With a proper dis
tribution of spawn and due p,otec-
ton of the. same, our streams could
soon be stocked with inexhaustible
supplies of the very best varieties of
food fishes. At the same time, our
native species are by no means 10 be
under estian'' but should come in
for their share of Legislative protec-
ton. The following is the first Sec
ton of an act passed, at the last Ore
gon Legislature, 10 regulate salmon
fishing in the Columbia and it's Ore
gon tributaries, and it will show our
people what their near neigbors are
doing in regard to this important ele-
ment of our Pacific coast wealth:
That it shall not be lawful to take
or fish for salmon in the Columbia riv-
err or its tributaries, by any means
whatever, in anyyearhereafter during
the months of March, August and
September, nor in the weekly close
times in the month of April, May,
June and July; that is to say, between
the hours of 6 o'clock in the aftel-
noon of each and every Saturday I'M
til 6 o'clock of Sunday following,
and any person or persons catching
salmon in violation of the provisions
of this section, or purchasing salmon
so unlawfully caught, shall, upon
conviction thereof be fined in sum
of not less than $500 nor more than
81 900 for the first ofense, and for
each and every subsequent offense
upon conviction thereof shall be fined
not less than $1,000, to which may
be added, at the discretion of the
court, imprisonment in the county
jail for a term not exceeding one year."
But in serving our own interest,
we have no time to lose. The
subject should be thoroughly dis
cussed before our legislature con-
venes next Fall. Let interested
parties see that we have the right
kind of a protective law.
A WARNING we'll worth needing
comes to all those who are troubled
with corns and bunions. A young

THE COMINs-HOYT LIBEL SUIT.

The Eureka Sentinel notes the arrival
in that town of A. v. Hoyt, formerly
publisher OF the Cherry Creek INDIE
pendent. Mr.. Hoyt charged, in his
paper, that Senator Comins, of White
Pine, who voted against all the bills in
troduced in the Legislature last Winter
for reducing fares and freights OH rail-
roads, and, we believe, in favor of the
bill to release the Bonanza Company
from the payment of the penalty for
delinquent taxes was a hxibe talker.
Senator Comins went before the Grand
Jury of White Pine county and pro-
cured the Indictment of Mr.. Hoyt for
libel. 1t was. alleged at the time, that
sthe indictment was found without the
knowledge of the District Attorney,
who first heard Of it in Court, whenthe
Grand Jury reported. The trial of the
case takes place at Hamilton early next
month. The Sentinel says, In refer
ence to the matter
In the coming trial large number
of witnesses. have been summoned fer
the defense. The plaintiff, Senator
Comins, will simply be called upon to
prove the publication of the libelous
matter. In justification of the charges
made, the defendant, Hoyt, will at
tempt to, prove the truth of what he
alleges, and that the allegations were
made for good and beneficial purpose.
To substantiate the truth of the charges,
Mr.. Warrington, Superintendent of the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad; s. t.
Gage, chief manipulation of the Central
Pacifc;. Superintendent ENerts, of the
Eureka & Palisade Railroad; Messrs.
Mackay and Fair, of the Bonanza firm,
together with large number of the
members of the last Legislature, and
most of the prominent lobbyists. Of the
State, have been summoned to appear
and give testimony, Altogether, the
case promises, to. be. one of the most
noted in the history of the State. The
leading papers, of the coast will be rep-
resented, by special correspondents, and
it seems more than probable that Ham,
ilton is to witness a larger gathering
than has assembled there for years..
Judge c. j. Lansing appears, for Sena-
tor Comins, and Messps. Bishop, &

THE COMING MAN.

The probability Of Grant being can.

also Sherman's, fight for the nomination
for President, and now that Foster is
victorious it mnst be- conceded that
Ohio is for Sherman. 1t has spoken
much more emphatically in. his favor
than Maine did for Blaine;, and while

Had Ewing carried Ohio, the Repsrbli-
cans would be almost compelled to

the next. campaign, Notwithstanding
the traditions Of the country are against

man is the most prominent man. in the

He is backed by the Administration,
