The Salem Mercury, litigant organ for Marion, and supposed . to be the official mouthpiece of Governor G ro ver, comments as fallows upon the course of the Portland. Herald iu claim ing under the litigant law; all the adver tising of the city of Portland: We are sorry to see a disposition man 'tested by the lit raid, calculated to make a good and necessary law odious in the eyes of the people. As we understand it, the Herald claims that under tne liti gant la it is entitled to all the advertising tor the city of Portland of w natsue ver mna. This claim is manifestly erroneous and ridiculous. The language of the litigant Act is explicit on what : advertising it contemplates ; an nowhere in it can we discover that that class of advertising of which anr citv in this State ha? exclusive jurisdiction, ia included in its provisions. The litigant Act niamicstiv . enougu nas no relation or reference to printing au thorized alone by ordinance of any city. The advertising, if any, provided for in the charter of the city of Portland, being "authorized and required" by a "law of this State.' would belong: to the Herald as the litigant organ for Multnomah, county. The lawaava : "And thereafter all notices, summonses, , and advertise ments of whatever nature, authorized or required to be published by any law - of this State, etc. . The law baa no refer ence whatever to the ordinary business of a city provided for by ordinance, else it had been necessary to provide for the recognition by the city authorities of the litigant organ ot tne county, as tne . utr gaot organ of the city- as well. The Herald is not known to the city of Port land as a litigant paper; for that city " has not provided by ordinance for the ap pointment of a city litigant organ Another view of the case. Honors and public emoluments generally, imply rea nonsibility of some sort. Suppose that through the negligence or incompetence of the Herald it fails to do and perform certain advertising as any given ordinance shall direct, and that in consequence any nerson is damaged. Where will such rerson have his recourse f On the secur ities of the litigant organ? Surely not for they wonld plead, in bar of judgment that they were responsible aud liable alone as sureties for the Herald proprie tors for the county of Multnomah and not the city of Portland. The records of 'the city of Portland show no - account or trace of any litigant paper ever having been appointed for that city, or other than that provided for by ordinance or resolution of the Common Council, and that was the Oreaonian. ' In conclusion we have this to say: If tho Herald is entitled to the city adver tising of the city of Portland, it is more than its proprietors expected or calculat ed upon, and that not a single member of either Ilouse of the Legislature that enacted the litigant law intended that it should apply to the printing provided for by the Common Council of . any city, And if, by any "twist" in the"mysteries" of the taw, we could - hold' the - punting for the city of Salem, we would not take it. e cannot afford to seem - bosgisn for so Bmall a recompense. It is a bone we do not covet at tbe price of our con science and hat is palpably fair and Sre4atufi-Fatur Outlook. - : Id a summary fit the condition of the breadstuff's market, the New York Finan cial Chronicle says that the. advance ! in flour and wheat ia more than forty per cent, as compated with' March, 1370. This advance is accounted for by the increased demand for export, during the war on the continent, which lusted about eleven months, effecting a large redue tion in the surplus stocks held one ' year ago. The prospects for the maintenance of the present prices ore thus summed up: - ' " The situation in FranceGermany and Belgium would seem to indicate that a call upon Great Britain and .the United States to meet a deficiency, will be nec essary, but of course so long ss the : pres ent disorganization in France -' continues, shipments to that quarter must be held in cheek. And may it not prove that the means of buying have been largely swept away by the same cause which seem to have made buying necessary 1 The rev olutionary proceedings in Paris ; Jiave greatly impaired tbe credit of France and her people : industrial pursuits have been crippled by the war, and all legitimate sources ot income diminished. Vast quantities of food have already been shipped to the French markets, and when these snail be exhausted spring will be advanced. Hence there can be no cer tain reliance placed upon the renewal of any considerable demand from tbe Con tinent ; ana, uuaer mess vircuiueianctss unless there ustronsr evidence of s abort crop this season in Xiw&l- Britain, - the W est may be considered fortunate if its surplus for the remainder jf the : crop year can be disposed -of without incurring any coosiaeraote reduction iu mura. la the coarser grains, the situation may be' regarded as . more , favorable : to holders. The partial failure of the bay crop has led o an increased demand ; for feeding purposes. Corn, though in large supplies, moves off very freely, both for export. and consumption, it is relative ly much cheaper than any other - cereal. Not only does Great Britain want large and stead supply, but tbe. Eastern and Middle States have great deficiency to be made good. Uats and barley, though showing a full yield and liberal stocks, appear to be much wanted, and the com paratively Jiign prices which oats are bringing, seem to be no - impediment to their sale, while the .' use of barley lor malting exceeds all previous exper lenco. i. . : , .. : Our .

" liie common notion that t our health and life depend upon a mysterious Prow dence is downright , lobdelity. A child goes out of a bot room with naked arms and legs in pursuit of its daily supply of poisoned candies and dies of croup. Is that a mysterious IVovidence ? If a man indulges himeeit until ho gets the gout. and diaease attacks his heart and kills him, is his death a mystery f The reason tbat the Americans are such dvspeptics is that tney eat and drink, so much, and eat and anntt so last.

The Colusa Sun of April 15th has the following in regard to the present condi tion of the crops: " Along the lioe of the railroad we did not see a single field of gram between Suisun and Marysville that could,-, even with a moderate, amount of Tain now, make any grain at all. On tbe road from Marvsville to Uolusa there were some crops that looked well, but meet of the fields seemed "past redemption. Un Butte slough much ground was. flooded. The erops in this county are, we learn, looking very welt yet, and if we eould have a rain, many farmers would have good crops. Several thousand acres ' of land has been flooded in the lower end of the county, which will grow anything planted upon it. From Colusa north, there will be considerable grain raised,' but. from all we can learn, 'the entire State south of us will not more than feed the people and furnish seed for another year.
