..t 1U in the opinion of those
best qualified to judge, there is much
hope for the futuie there can W. no
doubt.
For the beuclit of our readers who
stand in a josition to need eacoirrage-
nient we clip the following from the
New York ( ii"ivi atitl Financial
Chronicle :
"The exports ol wheat from the sev
en principal Atlantic ports fiom Au
gust 1st, 1880, to January 1st. I SSI
were 83.000.000 bushels. This is more
than half the estimated quantity re
quired from the I'nited States out of
tho crop of 1SS0 to supply the foreign
t'.cmand. If

exported up to January lei
Accepting the estimate of the A.gri
cultural Department as to total yield, it
was belie veil that we could not span
for shipment this season more than
165,000,000 bushels. It would seem
now. however, as if the exports from

the pnn ious year, when tht y icached
177.000.000 basbeb. For, if the Pa
cific coast has still o2,000,00 bushels
surplus, the other States canxcarevly less
than double that tpiantity. or f 1.000,
00th which together would give an ag
gregate surplus of uG.00O.Ou0 bushels.
From the seven principal Atlantic torts
the exjorts from August 1st to .hum i
ry 1st was at the rate of nearly 4,000,
bushels per week, fteduciugthe wt k
ly movement from the same ports to
even 2,000.000 bushels from January
1st to August 1st, would make a total
of 60,000,000 bushels for seven month?,
or an aggregate for the crop year of
143000,000 bushels : and if the Pacific
coast ships no more than i?.0o0,000
bushels additional, even then the total
for the year would reach 1 S 1 ,( ii . a t
bushels. It should be stated, however.
that when prices rule low, a crop is
never closely marketed : farmers cany
over large tpiantities in their giancries,
ami this is particularly true if the pros
pects of the growing crop be not wholly
satisfactory. Therefore, it is jovdl.!e

The conclusion from these facts is,

6,000,006 less than from the crop of

On the 14th inst. in the Senate Sen
ator Grover stated that when the river
and harbor bill came to the Senate he
should move an increase of the appro
priation for the locks of the Colombia
river from 100,000 to $200,000. Jfe
wUl also endeavor to secure an appro
priation for the construction of a harbor
of refuge at Port Orford.
Senator Slater introduced in the S n
ate on the same day the following
amendments to the pest mute bill :
From Washington, via Silverton, Acia
and Aiuesrille, to Brownsville ; from

Grass valley and Finegans, to Lake

Spark to Pine valley ; from Applegate

creek, to the mouth of Williams' creek,
in Josephine county, to Applegate post

It seem:, singular that every few
years somebody has to tamper with the
Bible have it revised, corrected, etc.
Is it possible that the Bible in use 200
years ago didn't point the way to heav
en as accurately as the revised docu
ment of the present day ? Those who
have relied on their Bible in past cen
turies must certainly have believed that
their book and their faith was good,
and they must have fully relied on the
Book for their Heavenly salvation.

Thj effort is atldressetl to public opin-
i-.ix brought tt hear on Parliament to
adopt a system whereby the object can
be obtained peaceably, and by providing
ample indemnity igelnit Icej to the

This principle is m f aniversal ep

So long ag. ;n Dscembet, 1
1830, Daniel Webster, in a nemorabh
speech in Boston, enunciated this bold I
doctrine :
The freest government, if it con
,J I
exist, would not le long acceptable it
the tendency ot the laws were to create
a rapid accumulation of property in
few bands, ami to i ruder the great
mass of the population dctcndrut am

Bearer wmtM be hkely to break tn upon
the rights of property, or else the intb.

ence of property to limit and control
the exerciw of popular power. I tn

suffrage would before long divide the
property.
This rule has frequenily been ap-
.1 .1. I.t vill own Atlit-itt, llil

ways are deemed a necessity, or even a
pubh

of property, but simply claims the pre
rogative of confiscation, though not
without providing adequate comjKnsa
tion, and remedy for its attainment.
it in IV be added that this' jde:i of in
dividual right is not one that either
Kngland or our people have treated
with much respect. Whenever the
former has deemed it impovtent to ex
tend her jurisdiction and enlarge her
possessions she has not been SCCUStomcd
to Hay "by your leave, nir." What she
has wanted she has simply taken. The
sane- to true, to a considerable extent,
in this country. The early settlement
of this country, even in New England,
was made on the principle that the
earth is the Lord's, that he intended it
for the saints, and that the emigrants
were the Paints. In our own day the
United States wanted s slice of Mexico,
including the shores of the Pacific, and
took it. That was all. When emanci
pation occurred the South was deprived
of her property, clearly recognised as
such by the Constitution, and it was
brought about by a simple edict of
President Lincoln M a war measure,
being subsequently sanctioned by
amendment to the Supreme later. Kven
be WM slow and loth to interfere with
il.e rights of property, but when the
exigency became imperative the public
good and national right were held to
!i? paramount, even to confiscating the
property of loyal men.

in the State .sustain the OregonUm in
its attack upon Mitchell. The Dalles
Motintaineer chops off a few of Scott's
locks ; the .Jacksonville Sentinel got
into his gray hairs, but it remains for
tho Corvallis Gazette of last week to
scalp the culprit in the following lan
guage : (Remember this is all Repub

how long, and how far did this support
of yours last? To what lengths did you

Thk Oreonbackers are organi.ing in
tho Fast under tho name of " The Peo

hereafter, or if offered are not to be
recognized, except they are tendered
through the Department of State.
