Their meeting was secret and the pro ceedings were not made public, but enough was divulged to enable a poe itive statement to Le made that fur mere will after this ship their own wheat. Ko trouble is anticipated in obtaining all the vessel they may need. The meeting was made un of Y representative men among the Uran- f n. , r I . . . . . I . t sons 01 weaitn, well able either to ship '' or hold tbelr wheat, as they may de , cide. It was the unanimous conclu . ffion that this course of action should :' le adopted. Up to the prenent time farmers have been unable to get money from city capitalism, so closely has Jloating capital been covered, even f upon the best security. 15y shipping their own wheat, fanners can, when ; the cargo is finished aud insured, ob tain an advance of "o per cent of its value from Kugiish houses that make a business of loaning money in that way. This margin can be loaned out tttnong themselves and help othur shipments, thus effectually blocking any combination that may seek to control the wheat crop of the Htate. Ho thoroughly convinced are the re-o- xesentatiyea of the meeting of the practability of this arrangement that I they will all recommend its adoption i at their different granges, and urge ' perfect unanimity of action on the part of all farmers who have wheat to - dispose of. it may be stated that the present condition of tha market for grain vessels favors this stand of the farmers' price per ton which declined ,in a marked degree a couple of months i ntm.

Such piotracted hcatid t;nn is not remembered hr the oldest in- habitant. The temperature hi? been, tor over twenty days Uniformly over JK) Fahrenheit, and for much ot the time above 91', reaching occasionally to 100'. This if not for merely the day time, but the heat is maintained, with the diflcrtnce of only a degree or two, right along, day and night. Indeed, the heat is more op pressive at night than at any otlier time, tor there la generally a slight breeze dur ing the day, but rarely ever any at night. The nnmbor of deiitlis romlting from sun stroke, exhaustion on account ot heat, and fatal diseases developed by the heat, has been frightful; and "till the di stroyer goes stalking around Jhy day and by tilght, gathering iu fresh victims.

THE AlTKOriilATIOS HU.1.S Are thought to be now in the course of adjustment as to different between the Houses. The river and harbor bill is the only one which has uot gone to conference committee. The Semite, which is now at work upon it, has amended It in many respects, cutting out entirely some items put In by the House, aud reducing or rais ing others. Oregon lias been fortunate in tlte action of the Senate upon this bill. As It catne tiom tlte House it provided only $15,000 for the upper Columbia: $15,000 for the lower W i liauette aud Col umbra, and $15, 000 lor the upper Willamette. Senator" Mitchell went before the Senate coiumit tee on appropriations while the bill was In their charge and got them to report $30, 000 each in place ot tiie liret two items and $25,000 for the last one, and in that shape they went through the Senate yes terday. He also got the committee to" re port hufavor ot raising the Item for tiie Cascade canal and locks from $50,000 a he amount as it came from i.u tlte House). to'E ' ".r..?, .. . $100,000. It now remains to sec what the1 House will do In these mat ten. The Sen- r....:.,.,,:. ... ...V r ... : "2 dollars through the House, and 1 think that a compromise can bo effected npon $100,000. This will make a beginning, aud under tlte circum stances is fully as much as can be ex pected. It we could have the money which Is given In the Kiver and Harbor bill to improve (!) dry creak In Virginia, Georgia, Maryland, etc., we would have euough to fiuisb the entire work, sod then the money would be doing Boms practical good to commerce. THE PKESIDKKTfAf, CAMT-AKIH Cannot be said to be fairly opened yet, but thore are Indications tliat it will be soon iu lull blast, aud that it w ill be warm euough. The Democracy affect to feel conliueiit, and tliey are going to be noisy, at all events. Apparently, they gave up at the outset, all hope of carrying any Western State, aud placed their reliance upon carrying all the Southern States and New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Or egon and Delaware. It follows then, that If a Democratic President is to be elected, he must be elected by the solid vote of the late rebel States. Without such solid vote Tilden has no more show than has the man In the moon. In most of those States the Kuklux and White Lin ers have so lar intimidated and subju gated the negroes that they are considered sure for Tilden. But there is doubt about North and South Carolina, Florida aud Louisiana. Hence the recent outrage up on the negro lualitia at Hamburg, South Carolina the unauthorized disarming ot the negro company, and the cold-blooded murderer ot lielpless negro prisoners. The Democracy kas determine.!, apparently upon carrying South Carolina, by tlte same tactics as were employed last year to carry Mississippi; that is to say, if the negroes cannot be put down by tlte ballot, tliey must be nut down by tlte bullet. Accord ing to present appearances, this will be an . w.i...,,j u,,.n.n.,L..j j .v. .... v.. voters, unless the strong arm ot the gov- eminent is interposed lo protect litem.
