The San Francisco Journal of Com
merer, which is regarded as one of the
loading commercial nnrs on the coast,
says that Europe re.piirea throe hun
dred million bushels of wheat the pres
ent vear, but bhe will not at ways re-
quire them. Wet years and tempest
uous will not always destroy the lmr
vest. Three hundred million bushels
h more than the equivalent of a bushel
for each individual of her immense
population. One-half of the people of
Europe, however, never use wheaten
bread it is therefore the equivalent of
two bushels per bead of those who use
wheat. TLe average per head is four
busl.e's, so that this would indicate the
production of not more than half enough
by Europe to supply its people. Eu
rope, this year, therefore, if the three
hundred millions estimated be true, re
quires twice &3 much as site does in or
dinary years ; her ordinary need being
one hundred and fifty million bushels.
Part, however, of this sixty million
basbids is generally supplied as a.
plus by Russia ; which the statisticians
do not seem to take into account when
estimating the crop of Europe. Witl:
them Europe is "Western Europe. The
normal needs of the world, therefore,
may be estimated at 130,000,000 bush
els annually, of which California has
never supplied more than eighteen mil
lions Uaiitorma ana Oregon never
more than twenty-live.
But these two States have 43,000,
000 acres of wheat lands California,
25,000,000; Oregon, 1S,000,000 .of
which not more than one-seventeenth
has ever been under cultivation. We,
that is, California and Oregon, can
therefore supply Europe with 15t,000,-
000 bushels, and the jeople of China
and Central America, etc., with seven
times as much flour as has ever been
shipped there. That is to say, these
two States of the Pacific Coast cansuj
ply all the usual needs of Western Eu
rope, To do this, however, would re
quire an agricultural population, or one
devoted to the raising of wheat, altout
seven times as large as it now i&. That
is, a population of 340,000 workmen.
or over a million of men, women and
children, and two million of general
population. At a rate of increase of a
hundred thousand population a year it
would take ns twenty years before we
reached that. But by that time the
wheat eating population of the world
would nigh have doubled ; while a great
deal of what are now wheat lands on
.this' coast, one-third of them at least,
would have ceased to have been used
for that purpose. It does not, there
fore, seem as if we should have much
cause to fear that we shall ever be able
to raise too much wheat.
The price may, indeed, nay, must
come down will in that interval prob
ably drop to a dollar a cental that is,
two-thirds of what it now is. But that
itself will only increase the number of
wheat eaters all over the world, and
the consumption per head among them,
and so prevent further depreciation. It
will also conduce to better farming, so
that a bushel and a half w ill be pro
duced where only one is now. And we
will make more of our manufactured
goods at home ; as cheap food will con
duce to low wages and a lessened cost
of production ; so that what the farmer
loses in one way he will gain in anoth
er. There need therefore be no fear as
to the future of wbeat culture in Cali
fornia and Oregon.
THE KOBLE KED MAS ACAIX.
Advices from Lewiston, Idaho, under
date of the 22d inst., contain a full ac
count of the late Indian troubles near
Salmon river. On the night of August
16th, at 7 o'clock P. M.. while James
Raines, James Edwards, Henry Serrin
and Albert Webber, a brother-in-law of
Raines, were baling bay at Raines'
ranch near the mouth of the aouth fork
of Salmon river, they were fired upon
from" ambush by Indians. Raines was
killed the "second shot and Webber was
wounded in the shoulder, but managed
to crawl away and conceal himself un
der cover ef approaching darkness.
Edwards and Serrin endeavored to
reach the house, but the Indians were
in advance of them and they too ran
np a creek and concealed themselves in
the brush The Indians rifled the
house of four guns and three revolvers,
and about 100 cartridges, then set fire
to the house and other buildings, and
to the bay in the field, and all were
burned. Edwards and Serrin wan
dered through the mountains in the
night and reached Warren's, a distance
by trail of 15 miles, at 11 A. M. on the
1 7tls. Webber, wounded, reached that
place about ten hours afterwards.- A
party of citizens started soon after
wards for the scene of the killing.
Raines' family was in Warren's at the
time and so escaped. Col. Bernard was
above on the east side of the south fork
and making for the battle-field of Cat
ley. The number of Indians who made
this attack was not known, as they
v. ere mostly concealed in the brush.
Bishop Haven, "of the M. E: Church,
carae out to Oregon and presided over

Mayor la fan J rmul-.ro.
Tho nearer the election day approach
es in California tho hotter Incomes the
contest and the more personal become
the warfare, Since llev. Dr. Knlloch
became the Workingmen's candidate for
Mayor of Pan Fmncisco, the &in Fran
cisco Chronicle first tried to buy him to
withdraw, and, failing in that, then
tried what virtue there was in tho old
Chonicl style of uncovering his past
bistort. The 1. Youngs sent Fast
and obtained a complete biography of
the reverend gentleman, anil last wet-k
commenced its puh'ieation. Kalloch is
of the BoocheriiUi class i f ministers,
aad consequently the li Youngs hud
very little trouble in obtaining t
worst kind of testimony, and when it
appeared in their paper it stood out in
glowing colors, mid was ulxmt na filthy
as anv series of articles which ever n-
peared in print. He was accused with
adultery, larceny, dishonesty, etc., and
the worst of it was that nearly all the
charges were proven. Of course Kal
loch could not let this pass without
taking notice cf it, and the following
extract from his speech, delivered nt a
large public meeting on Friday even
ing, shows that bis long experience in
lighting the devil has ffell qualified him
for a wordy tournament with the edi
tors of the Chronicle :
It is not necessary to-night it may
be hereafter to discuss the defiled or
gan. The bawdy bouse breeding, the
gutter snipe training, ot tins uclcetabl
iair of moral letters who vainly strug
gle for the recognition which decent so
ciety denies them, and who, by a xr-
sistent and damnable svstein ot black
mailing, have built up a newsjaiKT
which, in its every issue, is a moral vol
cano an .Etna in a garden more Wan
tiful than Sicilvs; opening its pags
like the dark, damp, leathery leaves of
the swamp, to fid the surrounding at
mosphere wilh poison. I have yet to
hear of the iirst man who has deserted
my standard on account of its villain
ous attacks, w hile hundreds of the best
men of the city have said to me, " If
your election means any damage to that
damnable sheet, 1 in for vou. ell
my election does mean just that. 1
accept the situation ; I pick up the
glove. J havepledged you that 1 would
break the yoke of Chinese shivery. I
now put the most infamous paper ever
produced this side of the infernal re
gions into the same bng. and di-chiie
that the Chronicle, as well as the Chi
nese, must go. Loud appl.-itif.e. f
the devil in hell has an organ on earth,
it is the San Francisco Chronicle. Con
tinued applame. The infamous hybrid
vbeljni of sin and shame, who have lie
come the assassins, ghouls, hyenas of
society, may hear the knell of doom in
the ringing bells that proclaim the H'0-
les triumph on tlie ord of hptemtjer.
I Applause J Whatsoever things are
talse, whatsoever things are unjust,
whatsoever things are impure, whatso
ever tbing3 are hateful, whatsoever
things are of evil repoit, if there be
any vice, and if there 1 any infamy,
they are all blended in the De Youngs.
When you have put together everything
that is the embodiment of all baseness,
poltroonery, sensuality, effrontery, men
dacity, barbarity, the compound would
be considered a caricature in a novel,
but it is a great and ghastly reality in
the character of the De Youngs. I
know that I am not mistaken in the
opinion that I reflect the sentiment of
all the respectable citizen of San I ran
cisco when I declare that from the bes
tial eminence on w hich I have placed
this carrion it will not lxj taken down.
In conclusion he said : I w ill not
exhaust all my ammunition on these
scoundrels to-night. Next Tuesday
night, at Union Hall, I will comment
on their infamous oi igin, and as many
of you as can get there will bear me
deal with the De Youngs as they have
dealt with roe.
This last threat of Kalloch 's, in rela
tion to showing up the " infamous ori
gin" of the De Youngs, bad the effect
to fire them up. Their pedigree was
written up by one Napthaly about five
years ago, in consequence of which they
shot at and wounded him. Kalloch
gave notice that be would publicly read
this same article at the Union Hall
meeting, and to prevent htm from doing
so Charles De Young shot him on Sat
urday. At about 11 o'clock that morn
ing De Young drove up in a close car
riage and stopped in front of Dr. Kal
locb's office. Kalloch was about to get
into a carriage when De Young sent a
biy to tell him that a lady wished to
see mm. JNo other bait would have
allured the leverend gentleman so
quickly, and be at once atarted over to
De Young's carriage. When be reached
it De Young shot him in the breast,
and be then started to run and was
shot in the thigh. De Young then or
dered his driver to hurry away, but be
fore they could get started the alarm
had been given and a lot of infuriated
Workingnien assembled and stopped
them, upset the carriage and would
have torn De Young in pieces had not
the police arrived and interfered. As
it was, be and one policeman were bad
ly battered, lie was then hurried
away to jail.
The report of the attempted assassi
nation spread like wildfire, and it was
not long .until thousands of the labor
ing classes were marching the streets
threatening to demolish the Chronicle
office, and to tear down the jail and
lynch De Young. Business was sus
pended ; the militia was called out ; all
the police were massed at the Chronicle
office and the jail ; Mike De Young a
brother of the assassin also took ref
uge at the jail ; two batteries of light
artillery were brought out, and every-
thing seemed to foretell a gigantic riot.
About 20,000 ot the Workingmeri as
sembled at the sand-lots, all clamorous
for blood, but Kearney and a few other
leaders addressed them and counseled
moderation, and they finally quieted,
lown nnd dispersed." Tito police and
militia were still kept on guard, nml
the authorities did not relax their vigi
lance until Monday, when it. was ascer
tained that Kalloch was a great deal
better and would recover, which had
the etl'eot of cooling oil bis retainers.
On Monday morning l Young bad
his preliminary examination and was
remanded bark to jail without bail, lie
.'na perfectly cool and collected, and
was so also v hen lie nut itio Miooung,
The mobs all (JisjK'rsed Monday except
at the Metropolitan Temple, where
Kalloch lies. Tho military disbanded,
except n detachment at the City Hall.
Tho temple is still guarded by woik-
ingtnoii. The military and jwlieo nn
still guarding the Chronicle buildings
and jail, as there is no telling what
may yet happen.
Kalloch 'a physicians express btrong
hopes of ultimata recovery. It is re
ported that the bullet lodgd near the
lung is not to bo extracted, as it is too
near tho heart and arterie", ami liable
to cause hemorrhage.

Never Is fore have we seen the sys-
tem and workings of tho national banks
laid so bare as in the following article
taken from Column' 1,'itrol Worll, nn
der the title of " The Bondholder Ex
plains":
"I am a bondholder. In 18C4 1 bad
$20,000 in gold. 1 gave it for $50,000
in ti.20 bonds, deiHtsited them wilh the
Treasurer at Washington, and be gave
me $4."i,000 in blackbacks. I came
home and started a national bank.
loaned the blackbacks to the farmers,
and of course took a mortgage on their
farms. Thus in about four weeks after
I sold my gold I bail $'.t5,()00 out at in
terest. As tho law only allows me 10
per cent. interest on loans, I had a si
lent partner who started an ollico and
adveitised Eastern money to loan at 10
per cent, on farms for security, and no
money lent for less than five yearn, und
in sums of $5)0 and upward. Rut my
partner always charged ,niu per cent.
for doing business, and deposit in tnv
bank generally amounted to $.'i(,tK)t)
on an average, and I generally kept it
loaned out , ami during all this time

verted the gold into gn-etibacka Biid
loaned them, and thus, by honesty
economy and industry, on January 1

Since then I have be,m swindled by

mortgaged me land for more than it
was worth, ami have been heavily as

lien caueil ujoii, many years ago,
to respond to a toast, William Alien
paid thin glowing tribute to Ieiin:ratic
principle :
"Democracy is a .eutiment not to 1
appalled, corrupted or compromised. It
knows no laMness, cowers- to no dan
ger, oppresses no weakns. Fearless,
generoiiH and humane, it lebukes the
arrogant, cherishes honor, and symna
thizes with the humble. It asks noth
ing but what it concedes ; it concedes
nothing but what it demands. litruc-
tive only of drajiolijiin it is the stile
conservative of liberty, labor and proj-
erty ; it w the sentiment ot freedom
of equal rights, of equal obligations. It
is the law of nature js-rvaduig the law
of the land. The stupid, tho selfish
and the base in spirit may denounce it
as a vulgar thing ; but in the history oi
our race the Detuoii-atic principle has
develoifd and illustrated the highest
moral and intellectual attributes of our
nature. Yes, that is a noble, magnani
mous, a sublime sentiment, which ex
tands our affections, enlarges the circle
of our sympathies and elevates the sou
of man until, claiming an equality with
the lest, he rejects, as unworthy of bis
dignity, any oIilical immunities over
the humblest of his fellows. Yes, it is
an ennobling principle ; ami may that
spirit which animated our fathers in the
revolutionary contest for its establish
ment continue to animate us, their
sons, in tho impending struggle for its
preservation !
ALTOfcKTIirK TOO f'AST.
The story of tho alopemcnt of Capt.
li. L. Williams, of Douglas county,
with the wife of a friend, is met by
that gentleman with the jnost unquali
fied denial. A succession of slanders
for the purpose of making political cap
ital have been set afloat in this State
this Summer, with tho most discourag
ing results to those wlio have concocted
them, as complete refutation has fol
lowed each one. Portland lire.
Jf Mrs. Coburn will look at our ad
vertising columns she will find a divorce
summons published by one Daniels,
and that legal document is what " sef
afloat" the Williams "slander." As to
whether it is a slander or not that will
lie settled in our Court next month.
The charges made have never been re
futed simply denied. How Mr. Dan
iels could make "political capital" of it
we don't know. Mrs. C. has not been
ponducting a political paper very long,
and consequently she sees " a nigger in
jibe fence" in almost every little item of
news which appears in a Democratic
paper.

Republican papers iw this State now
devote about half their editorial matter
to running down Mr. Tilden and bis
"bar'J." The fact of it is they are very
much afraid of that old gentleman, and
well they may be. If he gets the nom
ination for President at the next elec
tion, instead of beating bis Republican
opponent over a quarter of a million
votes, as he did Hayes, he -will -win by
such a large majority that the Radical
thieves cannot keep him from occupy

Iii its "Political Notes" tho Tribune
nays : "Tho Soul hern journals have
shut up suddenly on the subject cf State

which tho Republicans rose to meet tho
issue. Sileueo conies too lain to do any
good. They cannot take back or de

tions." We have beard a teat dud of
"Xorthern .f.'." about "XmWw .SVnrV
Hi j h In" such as tho tibovo. The most
radical of our l!fpliblican colelnporai ies
are compelled to admit that there must
bo some line of deman:.it loll bet ween
the IVdeial and Slate authority. The
Northern Strttes fie quick enough (o
take care that tho (b nelul ( lovernmelil
docs not iuteilVie with their rights, but
the moment any of tho Republican
tools who nro Kent South for the pur
pose of making improper issues and
disturbances w ith the State authorities
are arrested or punished for lawlessness,
then comes tho Republican press croak
ing of the evils of "States' Rights."
XSow wo are tired of this thing.
From the very foundation of our Re
public tho doctrine of States' rights
was necessarily engrnfied in the struc
tuie of our confederation. There me
are so tunny different Sinle (iovein
taenia that were the several and dis
tinctly separate rights of each not in
garded and resjiecte.! by the other, we
would be in continual anarchy, and it
would truly take a central government
with nothing short of absolute jmwer
to control the sulslivisioiis and keep
the peace. It is only the rights re
served by each of the ot igiiml thirteen
States to govern itself by its own laws,
that has perpetuated the republican
form of government under which we
now live. Tho Jeop!o cf the Stati-s
will not brook Federal intetferencp at
the polls ; they want for their repre
sentatives in Congress men who know
and supjKirt tho views of the majority
in their resjsx'live districts, and not
tools of tho administration. It is ab
surd to expect a Republican represent
ative where the Republican party Can
not muster a corjioralU guard, and the
mv).!( will not submit to United States
Marshals and bayonet foicing sm-lt re
sults. If this is what the stalwarts
call -the heresy of States' Rights," they
w ill find tjiat then h a larger States'
Rights party in these United States
than they ever conceived of, and that it
is conijx.se! largely of men ho were
lighting for the Union when these
croakers were at home shaking doty
and shunning bullets.
There are no men more opened to
this kind of thing than the aiiny, rank
and f.le, and we doubt if a single offi
cer, alio has dixtiuguished himself fot
gallantry, can be found who would not
find degraded if called on to pet form
afrol duty at the JmjIU. It is worthy
of nolo that never until the Republican
party held Jiower was it deemed liecea
sary to have any federal intef terencc
at the pollrt, and it the intervention of
au aimed force, no matter of what de
scription, is necessary to keep that
party in the ascendancy, the sooner it
is swept away, and made a thing of the
past, the ls-tter for our country's good.
A new era is ojs-ning for our land, and
one we trust fraught with proerity
for all Mt-ctioiiH. Northern men and
Northern capital have for several years
iast lieen drawn to our sunny South,
and largo industries have lieen estal
lished in many sections, which being
nearer the staples of production and
manufacturing facilities than similar
undertakings in the North, have, as a
necessary result', proved more profitable,
and the information from these pioneers
to their friends nt home is gradually
hrving its weight, and each year new
industries are Wing oiK'iied up upon
our Sotilliei list! earns and water-courses,
Theso give employment to a class ol
skilled lalior not to bo found among the
blacks, who have heretofore monoo
lized tho employment bureau of the
South, and, unlike our tobacco factories,
give preference to white over colored
labor. The skilled artisan of the North
finds a home in a moro genial climate,
where, tho cost of taw material and its
manipulation lxdng less than in the
North, be can obtain better remunera
tion for bis services and more home
comforts for his money.
Theso useful and worthy citizens have
a hearty welcome from our people, and
the more that come the better for them
and for ourselves. Year by year the
colors of Blaine's bloody shirt are grow
ing fainter and fainter, and ns our
Southern country is opened up to
Northern capital, the Scum that the im
moral influence of war has wafted to
the top of tho political wave will be
swept away by the all-powerful strength
of public opinion, and the men of the
age in which we live will como to the
front. Tho day of sectionalism is draw
ing to a close, tho day when it will not
be asked whether a man is from the
North, South, East or West, is near at
hand, when every man will bo judged
not by the accident of his birth, but by
the merit of his life.

Indian Dick, who went ns cook with
tho jiack train accompanying Catlcy's
command against tho Sheep Katcrs, has
returned to Lewiston, and says lio
doesn't want any more of that kind of
jobs. 1 fe savs the Indians drove thera
about two miles on the mountain, part
ly covered with timber and mostly cov
ered with grass. They set fire to the
grass around tho troojis and kejit them
on tho mountains all day and till two
o'clock next morning. Ho says that he
needed no other tire to cook beans that
day. They lost 15 pack animals and
considerable cargo that was not packed
on animals. They were 1 1 dayH from
tho south fork to where they bad the
fight, and but two days in getting back.
Tbo Alpowa Indians, says the Lewiston
Teller, had a little scare a few days ago,
caused by itho appearance in their
neighborhood of four or five known
hostiles, some of whom were recognized,
and one of them was fonnerly a herder
for T. Suhench, near the mouth of As
sotin creek. They stolo somo horses
from tho Aljipwas and one or two from
the settlers on tho Assotin. They made
tlieb- exit across Snake river in the di
rection of the Sjiokan country.
We are having very poor crops in
this valley, but still our peojde should
not complain. The Eastern States
have lately been visited by severe
storms, England and Russia have had
their grain injured in the same manner,
but to a greater extent, while late in
telligence from Ireland is to the eflect
that a famine is in jirospect there, ow
ing to tho failure of the crojis. - At
many points tho farmers are unable to
pay their rent, and in Mayo alone no
less than 800 ejectments have been
served within a few months.

One subject which we recommend for
debate at the next session of the Ore
gon Pioneer Association ia the state
ment of Rishop Haven, at the M. E.
Conference at Portland last Monday,
that "there is no worse class of morals
among tho Chiuese oa, this Coast now
than there ieaa among the pioneers of
this country." Old settlers, how do you
like this!
Ir is estimated that six countries
in Europe will this year be compelled
to buy three hundred million bushels
of wheat, and that France and Eng.
land will need three-fourths of this
quantity, whilo France's share alone
will cost her one milliard of francs,
or a fifth of the sum of her famous
ransom. This means prosperity for
the American farmer that has a sur
plus.
Thk jiosition of the Republican party
on the subject of secession was emphat
ically indicated by Wendell Phillips,
who announced at a great Republican
mass meeting in 1861, where Abraham
Lincoln was present, that : " We hav

eeen slave Slate ont of the Union, and
thank Col it i accomplilied f And
now, remarks the Charleston Xew and
Courier, he would do bo again, if tho
South would let him.
Senator Bruce has no complaint to
make of the Democracy of Mississippi,
He told a Chicago interviewer the other
day that during the campaign of 187G,
when he made speeches in many places
throughout the State, ho was "alwayi
fairly treated," and "never insulted" in
a single town that he visited. There is
as much freedom of speech in the South,
without regard to race, color, or previ
ous condition, as there is in Massachu
setts, but it takes a long time for some
of Senator Bruce's colleagues to find it
out.
The Boston Journal growls about the
"arrogant Democracy" Bending cam
paign documents to Maine and Ohio,
says the Louisville Courier-Journal,
To tho, Republicans it ia "arrogance" to
differ with them in their political views,
and the continued and healthy exist
ence of the Democratic party makes
them howl with rage. They want but
one party in this country, and that
their own, while all ojiposition must be
dealt with as " treaion." That is the
tone of a large nuiubei of Stalwart or
gans. It is the old talk furbished, up
for new service.
Tut British government is new
building two steel-clad shij of war,
which are to cost $5,000,000 each,
without armament. They are to be
luted with sixteen inches of steel, to
carry four guns each, to be I v,iw
tons measurement, with a speed of six
teen miles an hour. No sooner were
these monsters laid on the track, how
ever, than it was found that one of Sir
Joscjih Whitwortb's new guns was ca
pable of drivings bolt of chilled steel
through a steel plate 21 inches thick,
and thus once more the defensive side
of naval war-making is found to bo at
the mercy of the offensive side.
All honor to L. L. Rodger, a Meth
odist minister who has been stationed
at Ashland. He was the only one in
the late M. E. Conference that sjxike a
word in favor of our jieole, and against
the treacherous Chincso heathen. He
was in favor of their teveiving moral
training, but he was opposed to this
Chinese slave working amongst us,
jirincijially because our working jieojile
cannot comjiete with them in the cheap
ness of manual labor. Ho said our
peojde have families to ujjort, edu
cats ana prepare lor useful mem
bers of society, and they should be
helped first ; if there is anything left
let the Chinese have it.
Faiae philanthropy, like false or
misplaced charity, becomes Incendl
ary. There are few or the criminals
pardoned out of our penitentiaries
who do not return adroitly to their
old habits of murder, arson, burglary
or as the case may be. A certain
class of morbid pbllauthrophlst seize
upon the criminals and make heroes
of them, surround them with an at
mosphere of sympathy and pity,
magnify their virtues, gloss over
their fclDs, and screen them from
punLsbmeut The sequence Is that
rascality Is at a premium, and thrives
under the treatment. When the
punUhment of crime Is Inevitable,
sure and severe, It will da reared ac
cordingly, but when crime makes he
roes if will be considered heroic and
profitable to commit crime.

The following short extract from

by Republican strikers :

used when a boy to attend campmeet

of the Gosjiel. I have heard grace de
scribed as a fountain flowing iu bound

have listened when it was claimed that
this graoe washed away all stains,
cleansed the murderer's soul on the gal
lows, purified and gave peace to the
guiltiest conscience ever called shiver

world to the world beyond ; but I have
never before heard of a fountain of
grace so wide, so deej, so exhaustless,
so spontaneous in its unceasing flow, as
that of the Republican party to Con
