The issues for future political action are beginning to- shape them selves into a plain and tangible form, and there can be no question but what the principal plank of the op position to the Administration party will be free trade and opposition to the railroad and other gigantic mo nopolies throughout the country. In the "Western States, like Oregon and California, the farmers are organiz ing themselves into clubs against monopolies and high tariffs of freight and to this end the political parties must shape their future. The farm er and nieolvanics aro becoming ar rayed against capital and corpora tions, and if they will but act togeth er in their demands thev can control the destinies of either party in the . future. They have organizations throughout the "West which are now looming up and becoming a power which cannot be safely disregarded. In the outset the farmers concerned undertook to band themselves to gether in secret societies or "Granges of the Patrons of Husbandry," against railway monopolies and com binations, and against the existing high railway freights which eat up the farmer's profits in the transpor tation of Jiis produce to market. These "Granges," lirsl organised in ' Minnesota and next adopted general ly by the farmers of Illinois, are rap idly spreading over all the North western Qrtnd Southwestern Staffs. For exr.mple twelve hundred of there Granges-aro rejorted for Iowa, with an aggregate membership of one hundred thousand men, which is half the popular vote- of the State al- j readv secured, while, in "Wisconsin i there are over a hundred Granges or- j ganized, witf i every promise of increase that will control the vote of j the State. And so this general move- i ment is spreading throughout the corn, w heat, beef and port prodtie ingcsniinunities of the Northwest. The direct object in view by these organizations is to cheapen freight and transportation to the seaboard; but free trade must inevitably be blended with tliis issue ere long. The burning of Chicago resulted in dem onstrating to the people of fhe "West that there is no protection for them in our existing protective tarilT. After the Chicago tire, and as a lift to that unfortunate community in the re building of their city, Congress for it limited time, removed the duty on their building materials. The con sequence was the rebuilding of their waste places with a rapidity which astonished even themselves; but with the restoration of those suspended duties the mystery is solved. In this experiment they have discovered to an extent they had not imagined could be possible, that their prosten ty lies in free trade, or a purely rev enue system of duties, and that what i called the protection of home in ilustry is to them a tax, a delusion and a snare." This demonstrated to the West that their only hope of pros perity is free trade, which will create a pressing necessity for cheap trans portation. On these issues the Pern oeratie part" can again control the government. Its record against mo nopolies is established, and on th question of free tradef notwithstand ing the peculiar circumstances of the last campaign, itsn-cord is equally plain. At least nine tenths of the Democratic- party hold to the doc trine of free trade and a revenue only for the actual requirements of the government. While there are pro tectionists among its party members, they area small handful and amount to nothing in controlling its organi zation. Let the farmers go on with their organizations and demand these two planks in the platforms of the party they propose to support, and if neither will submit to this demand let them act independently and for themselves, and they can have noth ing to fear of the result. Let them rnt loose from political demagogues who have not dared to set themselves in opposition to the moneyed power of the land; and they will not need monopolies and in favor of the pro visions of our Constitution, which, gives Congress the right to "regulate commerce between the States." This issue will go to the people, and only in the election of a Congress pledged to the work can we expect Congress no to regulate our commerce between the States as to give the people cheap aud uniform rates of transportation. If or.r farmers will act upon these issues, oppressors w ill soon become powerless in this country. Free trade and equality between the cap- ttaiibt una producers, mus issue m tlie future.

The telegraph informs us of the sudden death Chief Justice of of the United yir. Chase was New Hampshire, and was in his sixty fifth year of age. He has formerly been one of the leading politicians of the "West, and has held many 2romi nent positions. He has been Senator from Ohio, and was a member of that body when such men as Calhoun, Pent on, Cass, and other statesmen graced the Chambers of Congress. He was Secretary of the Treasury during Lincoln's Adminit-.trat ion.nnd on the death of Chief Justice Taney he was appointed to that position. He was a man of great legal ability, honest in all his 2'"blie ami private transactions. The nation has lost one more of its brightest stars. ?Jr. Chase had been a strong partisan up to the time of his appointment to the high position of Chief Justice, since lie has occupied the position lie i has won the admiration of the whole American people. Corruption I-Jvcrj where. Forneys Fre; a Padical paper, says that at least two of the thrirtecn com missioners appointed by the Presi dent to the Vienna Exposition had purchased their places, and that oth ers had gone there to advocate certain special American interests. The air is so nll of rumors of corruption among our public men that the peo ple have begun finally to doubt the best, and where there is universal suspicion there must be universal criticism. Co n. Van Puren, the head of the National Commission, is charg ed with having recommended the suspected subordinates.

The editor of tho Jacksonville Sen tinel was Captain of the Volunteer Company raised in Jackson county on the breaking out of the Modoc war, and is a llepublican. He has the following to say in relation to the charges of certain persons against Mr. Quincv A. Prooks: W e ice 1 it or :r dutv to say words in relation to the charges made in the Portland Full, tin on the 2Wth ult., against the Quartermaster's De partment tf the 1st Prigade Oregon Militia. As Mr. Prooks was noi in the service, but only acting as clerk, at the time the grievances were com plained of occurred, of conrse it re leases him from all responsibility. We are aware that the boys suffered for the want of clothing and food, and that great credit is due them for the manner in which they braved it through, but we believe with two thirds of them that it was no fault of any officer in the Quartermaster's Department. It was owing to the bad condition of tne roads that these i supplies were not furnished in time. The State Election in Iowa, for Governor, Legislature, Ire, takes place in October. Parties are al ready bestirring themselves in regard to candidates, and various devices r.re resorted to by old elect ioneerers to capture the farmers vote, which through the recent independent or ganizations, has become a great po litical power in the State. Tlie re publicans have generally carried Iowa by from thirty to fortv thous and, and, in the opinion of some Western papers, it is thought they will probably make the farmers some temporary concessions on the tarilV question and attempt to either cajole or dragoon them into the party ranks. As the Chicago TrVeene says, "When 41 nd concentrate on their own com- iu iiivin lvllUH lilt 11 uu li 'OWfl moi, interests politics will have more j to fear from them than they from, politics." . ra Dfx ins It.

The baggage wagon containing the baggage of General Davis was rigged with a road meter atiached, ami the exact distance from Podding to Yreka is given by the engineer as 111 -IS-lOO miles and a fraction over; the dis tance from Yreka to Pall's is given al mihs, and from Yreka to the bliiU' at the entrance of the lava bed is just hT miles.

The person inquired of said, "thediu'er ence between the present Pepuhlioan party which supports Grant and the Democratic party is this: The Po puhiieans regard tlie Congressmen wiio voted te increase salaries .".(K)0 as theives, but regard Grant, who signed the bill to increase his salary to SK!'.),(iOO as a patriot.
