More Buildings Wanted.

The actual demand in Astoria
to-day for more buildings, both
for business and residences, is so
great, and the prospect for its i'm
mediate increase so apparent, that
steps should be taken to meet it
without delay. Private residences
are not to be had at any price.
This is merely an intimation of
what is to come. Many causes
are working together, the effect of
which will be that our city will be
over-crowded in a short time unless
more buildings are erected. Ex-
cellent tenants are to-day living
in cheap and undesirable houses
because better ones cannot be OBJ
tanned, and the demand for busi-
ness locations is just as urgent.
One gentleman informs us that he
was nearly two months in select
ing location for his Office, and a
residence which was rented on
Saturday before the prior tenant
had moved out. numerous appll-
cants coming in within twenty
four hours to secure the same
although not a desirable one.
There is money in this suggestion
for some one, and whoever acts
upon it will do well. The number
Of bdildings in Astoria has never
been largely in excess of the de-
mand, and now it is far below what
it ought to be. Our season for
building is SO pleasant, that nc
attempt is generally made to get
to work early, but this season
greater effort should have been
made to erect at once buildings
which were contemplated, and
many more which might with safety
be constructed. Let US at all events
keep abreast of the demand.

When Bill Nye, the versatile
western humerist, started the
Boomerang at Laramie, his intro
ductory stated that he would spare
his readers the usual programme
of what be intended to do here
after as a moulder of public opin-

he hadn't clearly outlined his
course in his own mind, and
partly because some one might
keep a file of the paper and annoy
him with it in the years to come.

A proposition has been made
by an electric light company, OF
Boston, to light the capitol, public
grounds, and the whole city of
Washington, SO that even the full
moon will be ashamed to show Its
face; by means of electricity. The
company proposes to belt the dome
with one hundred and fifty lamps,
and to erect six iron towers in
different parts of the city, each to
have fifty lamps, so that the aggre-
gate light will not be less than g.
100000, candle power, for the sum
of S350,000. After the first year the
cost will not exceed 100000 an

now pays for the poor gaslight
which is furnished s155,s00 an

good feeling prevailed.
The crowd was SO dense that it

Again, one of these men that
John R. Smith employed to carry
the mail says that he has not paid
him for it; says that John R. hired
him and promised to pay him he
says that John R. told him that he
was the sub-contractor which sthe
truth, because Samuel G. Smith is a
minor and is incompetent to contract
with any one. Parson and Black
stone, two learned law writer's say
"As 1t IS a mutual bargain or con-
vention, there must be at least two
contracting parties, Of sufficient abd-
to make a contract"
We think that John r. Smith
will not wink at these charges as
he has heretofore. but will be asked
to step down and out for some one
that is worthy Of such an Office.

John r. Smith offered him ten dol

he used, and that are now being

II. The public are fully informed
about the many promises that John
R. Smith has made and the way he
has acted towards the colored men
that have been pushing this affair
and his own friends, too. The
truth Of the matter is, that he has
acted niggerish from beginning to
end; that he has not sympathizing
friend in Goldsboro, either black or
white; and this state of affairs has
been brought about by his own acts.
At the time John R. Smith prom.
ised the Editor of the STAR to put a
colored man in the Goldsboro Office
if he had kept his word the matter
would have stopped there; but no,
he said Wassom and Smith should
not force him to appoint a negro in
HIS OFFICE. But did he stop here !?
No. He then gets another set Of
colored men, tells them to stand by
him and that he would appoint one
Of their colored friends to clerk
ship in the Office.
John r. tells Sears to get him one
lred GOV names on his petition
that he would appoint Richard
Cray. Sears gets the names and
rs the petition over to John r.,
which he, John r., hides
town from these colored men
er week and finally when
come up with him, he puts
m off from time to time and last
ly says that he "has nothing to do
yet, but will after awhile"
We say that any white man that
will act this way with any man
either black or white-will take
money off af a dead mans eyes.
We have no desire to prosecute or
prosecute John R. Smith : but, since
he has told it abroad in the land that
the negroes will all steal and are
not to be trusted" we deeu it our
honest duty to stand by our colored
friends and protect them as far as
possible. Therefore, we charge
John R. Smith with collision with
his son, Samuel G. Smith, to de-
fraud the Government of the United
States.
