A GooD OPPoRTUNITy.-The extraordi-
nary dryness of last season Occasioned a
good many fires on the hillsides south Of
the city to the great fear of dwellers in
the vicinity, and in some instances sad
loss of property. The result was the
burning over of a large area of surface.
Good effect may now be reaped from dis
aster. by sowing grass seed it will spring
up on the waste places IN luxurious yerd
ure, and by furnishing pasturage and
charming the eye with vernal beauty will
combine the useful and the ornamental
in an eminent degree. If such Is not
done, the ferns and baby frs will reclaim
their ancient fOothold and the opportun-
ity be lost.

THREE OF KND.-The spacious pre-
cincts of Judge Fox's court were not
large enough yesterday evening to admit
the audience that assembled TO hear the
testimony and argument in the case
wherein II was alleged that the peace and
dignity of our commonwealth had been
assailed by Thos. Ward and Richard Nc
Carron, who, it was charged, did on the
Sth inst, on board the good ship Star Of
Erin, beat, batter, strike, bruise, assail
and maltreat JAS. Cook to his great per-
sonal injury, and contrary TO the statute
book of the webfoOt nation. Testimony
conflicting in its statement and perplex-
ing in its effect was elected and due ar
gument made thereon, and at 8 O'Clock
the case was summed up and given TO q
jury of six men, who, after some deliber-
alton brought in verdict of guilty"
His honor flung the protecting mantle of
the law over the injured plaintiff by fin
ing the defendants each S25 and costs.
They deposited that amount for their ap-
pearance at 10 o'clock this morning, when
the case comes up for further hearing on

Died IN Mt. Scott precinct on the
24th February, the infant son of VIM.
and Nancy Burge.
The Watson brothers have just fin
ished a good and substantial bridge
across the east fork of the North Ump-
qua river, the main span of which IS
eighty five feet. This is a great accom-
modation for the people of the upper
river, and it is much to the credit of
the builders that they have asked no
aid from the county.
e. B. Chapman got a ducking IN
| raising the false bent of the east fork
b.1dge. It was clear case OF want of
confidence. He got out all safe, and
we hope chat no i'll result will follow.
Two heavy land slides have occurred
/ on the railroad extension south of Rid

i has prevented the passage of the con-
strnction train for several dsys. At
Baker creek the slide was fourteen feet

ing has been carried on vigorously and
the track will be clear in day or two.

There has been much speculation in
regard to an extra session of the U. S.
Senate on the 4th March in order to pro-
vide against a vacancy in the presiden-
tial succession. 1t is now stated that
Senator Davis, president pro tenn of
the senate, viii resign in time to allow
his successor to be elected without re-
quiring an extra session. It is under
stood that Senator Davis resigns with
the stipulation that the present organ
ization of officers of the senate, which is
controlled by democrats, shall not be
disturbed until the regular session next
December.

An Unpromlsing Change.

Mr.. Window has long filled a seat in
the Senate from Minnesota, and it is
believed with great advantage to his
private fortune. Latterly the good
people of that State have been SO much
dissatisfied with him that they loudly
called for new Senator. They have
succeeded in defeating Window and
giving the seat to statesman named
;Sabin. We have lively interest In
the character of every Senator, for what
the Senate does concerns the people Of
AL the Stltes; and we had entertained
some hope that an improvement would
be visible In the case under considera-
ten. We. find the following in the New
York Star. and we confess that State
Prison contractor cannot be expected to
develop iato champion of useful or
honest measures: Minnesota's SEN
ator-elect, Sabin, owes his large fortune
to State Prison contracts. A St. Paul
dispatch says of him: 'sHe has been the
controlling power in the State legisla-
ton here for years, securing the CON
tracts for State Prison labor on his own
terms for his company, and at the last
session he sold his old worn-out ma
chinery to the State on the same terms"
Having become a millionaire by under
selling free labor, he now goes to Wash
ington to deliver turgid speeches in
favor of the protection of the Amer

Our splendid navy has again been
been reduced. Information has been
received at the navy department that
the q. S. Steamer Ashuelot was lost
on Lamack island in the China Sea.
All the officers were saved, but eleven
of the crew were drowned. She was a
paddle-wheel, thin plated iron ship, of
1870 tons displacement and was what
was known as a "double-endero She
was built in 1868 for the purpose of
river navigation during the war, and
was used in blockade-work She was
utterly unseawerthy and yet she VAS
sent to the most dangerous cruising
grounds known to navigators. A few
more wrecks and we will have no YES
sci that dare go beyond the Capes of
Chesapeake Bay or Sandy Hook. Tt
would be great saving of money and
valuable lives if the remaiaber of the
worthless hulks were destroyed and our

ALL the States have elected United
States Senator's except Michigan where
there is dead lock in the legislature
caused by division among the repub-
licans. ''My Dear Hubbell'' is after the
scalp of Senator Ferry, and it appears
now as if he would prevent his election.
The war is waged with SO much bitter
ness that it is not improbable that the
democrats viii carry the state in 1884.
In the meantime Senator Ferry is re-
ported to be in dying condition at
Washington. A telegram of the 255h
says: "Senator Ferry returned to Wash

Coos Bay Railroad.

That the business men of San Fran
cisco are alive 10 the Importance of .
from Coos By to Rosebnrg
is evidenced by the following article
from the Daily Bulletin of February 9tn. /
There IS project to build i rail
road from Rosebnrg, the present ter
minus Of the Oregon Southern Railroad
to Coos Bay, distance of about ninety
miles At present, the CO ommunication
with Coos Bay is prin cipally by steam
ers and sailing vessels The line
railroad would follow pretty closely
the line OF the Coquille river for cor
siderable distance, and would open up
country which is rich In the resources
of timber and coal and valley lands
| suitable for agriculture. The popula-
| tien Of Coos county is about 5000, the
| principal settlements being in the Vi
cinity Of Coos Bay. There are about
500 900 acres of timber land In Coos
county alone, which at the lowest esti-
mate, would produce 10000, 1000, 900
feet of lumber. The projected road
would pass through Coos and Douglas
counties. In these two counties the
white or Port Orford cedar is equal 70
T,000,0OO,oo0 feet. In Douglas
county there are 100000 acres.
That county is rich in timber, coal,
iron and gold. The coal fields of these
two counties are inexhaustible. II a
railroad were constructed running
down from Roseburg to Coos Bay, il
would run through the heart of the ce
!, dar forests, and through country rich
in undeveloped coal fields, which in
Coos county alone are supposed to be
distributed over not less than 20(
square miles. And probably the area
!. is as large in Douglas county. The bal
at the mouth Ct the Coquille river pre-
vents il grezs and egress Of large vessels
: although at one time steamer of
hundred and fifty tons burden or mort
went up as faras the town Of Coquille
We find this among other statement
embodied in a pamphlet written by ]
M. Merrill advocating a railroad from

The desth-roll of this Congress is
longer than that of any previous one

Mr.. Lowe, Of Alabama; Mr.. Updegraff,
Of Ohio; Mr.. orth, of Indiana; and then
J. W, Shackleford, of North Carolina.
Senator B. Hill died on August 10th,
