It is evident to every ono who has lakpn any pnins to investigate the tii.ttior lht n" Wheat Kins' is Iniincr or- panrzi? m Oregon for the purpose cf vn.tr ringtliem ;rket atnltlictatingtho rice of the comin; crop. ThU ring Ik tuif'cr the t-ontrol of a wealthy Eusjiah firm who furnish ships ami 4noney. an. I expect to shnra largest in the pmlitsof the enterprise. Their I'ortiaiiil agents liave already reeeivco ortiers to ship only ly the Ilolhilay lie of hoat a anl luy only where wheat can le controlled for sueh shipmnnt. Tims, hy crusl.inpc out, the opposition mi l leaving the earning trade in the hand of a single h'te, tiormmtuiinj; lio;h the railroad and river transporta tion trade, they will he aide to dictate ti-ir own prices and enforce their own terms. The opjiosition line of Teal, Goldsmith Jfc Co. is in their way, because where competition pre vails the alsorpiion of trade or bar piiu by a single class is impossible. llem-e, we lind that the old lino of steamboats advertise to convey freight to l' m land at one dollar per ton two thirds less than the bare living rates of the otKsitW thus hoping to draw from the new line its patron age and to concentrate it in their own line. Iloi'.id.iy, who ha no longer any yecnn:.iry -otinect 'on with the rail Toad (ass!o from his curtailed salary as President), and expecting to beat an early day deposed of that position, is promised large profits in the div ved.s of the Wheat King, and is thus a willing ami powerful means of ef fecting their object. Our farmers will readily perceive that a destruc tion of the opposition would insure t!ie advantage of this King and leave lhem at its mercy. T-aI. Go!d.miih & Co., as men, nre nothing to the farming communi ty, nor should they have any Fpecial interest in fostering their individual enterprises; bt the opposition which they represent is one which the whale people should be interested in encour aging because it affords protection to the productions of the country and gives the public an alternative against an otherwise controlling power. The public will greet with pleasure the announcement of the appointment, by Gov. Grover.ot Hon. LF. Mosher. of KoM?bnrg, to the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, caused by the decease of Judge .Thayer. Judge Mosher is a lawyer of ability and a gentleman of integrity, ami is one of the earliest pioneer of Oregon. IJe is a poti-in- law of Gen. Joseph Lane, and belongs to the school of unflinching Demo crats of which that honored veteran lias been for to many years a shining lijiht. Judge Mosher belongs to the editorial fraternity, having been for some time past the editor ami propri etor of the Koseburj; Pluindealer. We congratulate him upon his ap pointment, and Wlieve the public will have bo occasion to regret the selec lion. J9E.1TS OF CHIC? JCST2CE CHASES. The telegraph yesterday brh-fly in formed us that Chief Justice Sainton P. Chase, of the U. S. Supreme Conrt, died at Washington on Wednesday, 3Iay '7th, of apoplexy, being attacked only the day previous. lie was aged about 73 years. .The Salem (Ala.) Tiiiies says that the decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama, recognizing the eonrt-house mob of ignorant negroes and degrad ed w'nite men as the legal legislature of ths State.. is an outrage upon de-cetu-y. hiw. and the people. '-The ju diciary, which should be the bulwark at the people to-day, stands in this St.i.e with its ermine soiled; and its ch'ef justice, and one of his associ ates are branded for all time to come, by friend and by foe, as the willing tools, of pirty,. as ready t. do the dirty .work that may devolve upon them as partisans, as they are degrad ed and " despifed by the intelligence and worth of the State. ' At a meeting of the friends of the 'Quaker policy" he'd in Washington alter the reception of the news of the Modoc massacre, Mr. Fred.

WLat wa cracle P IMPORTANT TESTIMOXT IS AVOH OF ASTORIA. . The following letter, addressed ta A conspicuous business firm in this city, will bo of importance to the public i Sax Francisco, April 25, '78. JITessrs. , AUmny, Or,, Gentlemen: Your favor pt 18th inst. at hand, nnd contents noted.- Wheat at Astoria in warehouse on tho water front, where it could bo placed onboard tdiip without expense, ought, to be worth San Francisco rices, ' less freight and insurance, mtli of whioh vary with tho season of the year, tho abundance or scarcity of tonnage, anil charter of vessel. Steamer freight is $5.00 per ton, say 25 cts. per 10U pounds. Yon ore sensible in putting your wheat nt Astoria. It is far prefer able, to Portland. Yours truly, I. FlttEDtiA'NDEIt. Mr. Friedhnder is tho most exten sive wheat merchant on t'oe coast, and his opinion is worth muuii to those interested in that important trafiio. Ills testimony in favor of "Astoria as a shipping port for Oregon is valua ble, .and is another argument in sup port of enr frequently expressed po sition ypon that point. If, as Mr. Friedlatidcr savs, wheat in warehouse at Astoria ought to bo worth San Francisco price, then, ac cording to the present San Francisco quotations (S2 per 100 Us.) wheat at Astoria should command $1.20 per bushel, or fifty cents per bushel more than is now otlercd in our local mar- I ket. With tho open locks, and com petition in transportation, wheat should not cost more than ten cents per bushel for transportation from Albany to Astoria. This is an exces sive, rather than an under estimate of the cost of transportation. Then, our wlseat should command, nt this point, with Astoria for a shipping port for foreign market, $1.10 per bushel. This is a plain proposition, and wo leave our larmer friends to consider whether it would not bo to their in terest to assist in making Astoria the shipping point for their grain. THE COMING l BEAT CROP. The weather of the current spring has been remarkably favorable, even ! for our favored Oregon, to the grain producing classes, and we hazard nothing in asserting that the breadth of land sown in the Willamette Val ley to wheat during the present year is much larger than that of any pre vious season, while tho propitious weather has assured tiie producer a full crop from every acre put in. Our advices from other sections of the State are equally flattering, and from the present outlook it may bo reason ably calculated that Oregon will pro duce this year at least a ha'f . million bushels of wheat in excess of any pre vious season. Then, it may not be out of the way to estimate the com ing crop at four million bushels. Of this amount Linn county alone will produce nearly one-fourth, and Linn, Lane and Marion at least three-fifths. Were the oilier counties of the Stale as, contiguous to transportation facili ties we would doubtless not' be able to boast that these three counties raise more wheat than the balance of the State, as many of the other coun ties are possessed of thousands of acres of as rich and fertile lands as any to be found in the three named above. Powder Kiver, Grande Konde aud Umatilla Valleys, in East ern Oregon, and Kogue Kiver and Uinpqtia upon our Southern margin, are equally productive, but their re moteness from market and compara tive destitution of transportation fa cilities 'afford no inducement to the people of those sections to engage in wheat culture upon an extended scale. With a good price for the fruits of the approaching harvest our State will be amply supplied with a circu lating medium, and the present wail of "hard times'' will no longer salute every passer by, If a congressman cannot live re spctably in Washington for $5,000 a year then Washington life must be more corrupt and - extravagant than life in New York, Paris, or London. The great majority of the constitu ents whom the members of the Forty- second Congress have misrepresented live on much less than $5,000 a year. Let them elect in place of the thieves men who will represent that frugality aud that honesty which are still - the prevailing characteristics of American hotif-eholds, ' however corrupt and however extravagant fashionable and frivolous society may have become in the capital city of the nation. As Sergeant I3ates is determined to carry the American flag all over the world why don't he hurry up and tote it through the lava beds, just now, while Capt. Jack is still alive to see it flutter?

A Washington special says that as soon as the Presi dent ri turns there will he a Cabinet consultation, whereat the Indian ques tion will be fully discussed and ome plan adopted lo meet any outbreak of tho savages that inny occur this sum mer. The President is expected there at tho beginning of next week ; mean time no new arrangements will be made, eiiht-r as regards tho Modoc or other hostile tribes. Tho Secretary of the Interior yes terday received the following from Governor Ferry, of Washington Ter ritory: 'There ae strong indications of hostility among the Indian of this Territory. Emissaries from the Mo docs have probably visited them. Settlers have called upon ine for arms, but there are nono in the Territory. I await instructions.' Tho telegram wai referred to Acting Secretary Robeson, -who authorizes the issue of arms to tho extent of the Territorv's I nuofa of militia on requisition of lie uovcroor, who must nmterstand that the General Government in no way authorizes any military operations not instituted by its order aud under it direction and control.'' Tho second was dated at Washing ton, May Sd. Both appeared in the citv papers of Monday morning. The same indications of hostility from Iudians, and the anprehension.i of settlers, described in Gov. Ferry's telegram, exist in Eastern and South eastern Oregon, in Idaho and in Northern California. Thousands of settlers are in imminent peril of prop erty and more than life. Knowing this, Prchident Grant has started on a pleasure excursion to his farm near St. Louis. As soon as lie returns, some plan will bo adopted "to meet any outbreak of tho savages that may occur this summer." In the mean time thero will te no measures taken to protect settlers against the impend ing danger. It looks very, much as though the President's convenience is moru to him than tho lives of people on the frontier. There is no instance in his administrative career when he has been so criminally indifferent to the duties of his oflico as this dispatch shows him to bo at this moment. If ho is insensible to his duty, he should at least not bo insensible to a feel'ins of sympathy for the unfortunate peo ple whoso lives aro exposed. Even tho Atlantic Monthly was compelled to say last Fall, that President Grant took a "low view" of tho Presidential office. It should now sav that ho takes a mot inhuman and unmcrci fully low view of it. , To make this disgraceful picture complete, we append one more ex tract taken f rom the St. Louis JJetno- crat of April 22d.

But the General was evidently eaacr lo get to his horses, and did not tarry very long here. The horse-barn was next visited, and the choicest inmates led ont for their owner's inspection. As the beautiful nnd -well-groomed horses were brought from their stalls, General Grants eyes went over thorn rapidly, and he pointed out their fine points to General Harney and others of tho party. Thero wero twenty horses in the stable four yearlings, three two-year-olds, two three-vear- ohls, two stallions, four and five years old, one four-year-old,' and eight com monhorses. Air wero in the most perfect condition, their sleek skins glistening as, they were led about. .Mr. William Elrod, the superintend ent ot the farm, seemed to be as proud of the horses as their owner, and their appearance would indicate that they were in no danger ot suflenng irora want of care. . y -' Tho blooded stock received special attention. " Among them were a Ris dyke Hambletoniau stallion five years old, raised by the President, and evi dently a prime favorite, to judge by the careful manner in which he was i examined by him. Tho new Long Island horse, 'Peacemaker," a recent accession to the. stud, not yet four years old, and having a record of 2:50 without any training, was very much admired.- "Cinderella,'' a three-yenr-old colt, by "Flying Cloud," and " Bashaw Maid," three years old and raised on tho farm, nre mates, and aro magnificent horses..- "Beauty," a four-year-old "Ethan Allen" stock, "Flora,'' a two-year-old' colt by "Legal Ten 'r," and "Belle," it two-year old Ilambleloninn, completed the list of particular favorites. .These were led up and down tho slable-yard to th great satisfaction of the President and his visitors.

Large crowds on the bunks rushed wildly to and fro, many of them so distract ed with terror as to be auablo to ren der any assistance; others, more self possessed, speeddr brought ropes, planks nnd bunts, and went nobly to work. Some of those who were on the bridge when it fell were ho ne.n the end that they were able to reach the bauk without asistance, while others were fortunately within reach of those on shore.
