By reason of the construction of the jetties at the mouth of the Mississppi by Engineer Eads it is now morally certain that sufficient depth will be at tained there to . enable ordinary sized and draft vessels to ascend to New Orleans. Already vessels drawing 20 feet are enabled to pass over the bar, and Eads guarantees 22 feet when ln3 system is completed. The effect of this achievement ha3 as yet scarcely dawned nn the mind of the people, bat its re sult is far 'reaching and will in effect change the commercial dependencies of half the continent. It is safe to say that all the products west of the Mis sissippi river and very much contigu ous, to Hid river on the east will in future reach its ultimate market by the way of the mouth of the Mississippi ratbertban as previously byjthe different rutes to the East by the wayof Chicago, Milwankie and the railroads direct to New York, Boston and Baltimore. The reason for this graud revolution in transportation movement is found in the cheaper means of getting freight to the sea board than by the older routes. A ton of freight may now be moved from St. Louis to New Orleans for about tho same charge aa it takes to get the same amount from St. Louis to Chicago or Milwaukie; the freight" n.oved Jto New Orleans is then at the sea board while that at tho first named porta is still over a thousand miles from the sea board by the most direct railroad route. "The longest pole knocks the persimmon," and summing it all up in a nut-shell, it is certain that the products of all that vast country can reach the foreign or 6ven New York markets cheaper by several c nts per bu ihel by the Mississippi than by any of the other routes. This is a factor which prevails over every other consideration. A difference of a cent per bushel will turn the freight move ment, no matter how deep the groove or how ancient the pathway to the "cheaper route, and by f reason of the possibility of deep sea lading at New Orleans the problem is solved in favor of the water route. Tho ascendancy of St. Louis over its great whilom rival, Chicago, will -from this time become marked and permanent; the city near est the grain fields wins, and the future of New Orleans is now one of the grandest that it is possible to imagine. In fifty years it will doubtless rival New .York in population, and much sooner than that will equal it in ex tent of commercial business. Oregon Shipments via Puget Sound. We observe that in n lne number of the British Colonist, the Kanucks are felicitating themselves that they will catch some of the crumbs of prosperity that will fall from the table of Paget Bound's greatness when Oregon pro ducts will be shipped across there for foreign shipment, in order to avoid the dangers of the Columbia river bar. We advise tho people of that district not to give up clam-digging, saw-logging, and hoop-pole manufacturing to await for this new era in their future, which will make such minor occupations useless, for Gabriel's trumpet will summon the "just and the unjust" to final judg ment beforo such , a consummation. All the shipments that section of coun try will ever get from the Columbia river basin will be the flour, pork, butter and eggs needed there to keep its inhabitants on a solid diet; "thus far willwe go, but no farther." The Oregon vote approximated 34, 000 at the last election, which demon strates that year by year we are as cending the numercial ladder, and, ere while, will be in respectable company of older States as to population. With the rate of increase maintained for the next two years, our count will not fall far short of two hundred thousand, and the census-taking at that time will demonstrate how nearly we are correct. Oregon's increase has been very slow, probably less in proportions than any other State or Territory, but it is a source of satisfaction to know that it has been regular, 'although materially accelerated within two years past. An important iactor in increased immigra tion within the time named, has been the drouth year in California, and the long-continued opposition between the two rival steamship competitors plying between San Francisco aud Portland, who brought passengers for a nominal sum. The opportunity was eagerly availed of by thousands, who found no avenues of profitable employment in California. The vast hosts thus brought to our shores have filtered themselves through every nook and corner of our State, and the only means of discovering an apparent in crease is by reference to the vote. All indications point to a continuance of the tidal sweep, and, as by the census of 1S70, it was found we had one white person to each square mile of onr terri- tory, so now we can almost confidently claim two white persons instead; this denotes a healthy growth, and shows that we are on the road to final empire on the North Pacific coast. The time is fast approaching when we will kick ct the colonial and dependency re'a lion we bear to California. The begin ning is already made, and tho end will come with the completion of a railroad connecting us direcUy with the East. We pray the fates to hasten the event. Our Nayy or Rather Our Want of a nary. In a speech made by Congressman Harris, of Massachusetts, in the House, 3ay 20th, the surprising fact is made evident that Uncle Sam's sea-going craft, or war vessels fit for service, comprises but forty-threo vessels, of which fourteen are iron-clads, carrying two guns each, and only fit for river and harbor service; and 29 are vessels second, third and fourth rates, carrying all told 221 guns. To this beggarly ar ray have we come nnder the benefisent reign of Ulysses and his right-hand robber, Hobeson. If anything can il lustrate the ramping rascality of naval administration, which somehow got through with an average of twenty three million dollars a year for tho past eight years, this inventory of the things on hand should furnish suffi cient evidence. Probably a greater scoundrel and villain than Robeson never became the chosen head of any department in modern days. Pecula tion, fraud, f robbery and theft has been the order of the day in every ramification of the department. The Government would do well to sell or burn every navy yard of its own it has everywhere, and so get rid of the un savory smell of Robeson. If the wants of the navy were advertised and given to the lowest bidder, we could save two-thirds of the expense usually involved in Uncle Sam's doing the work through his agents. .We could get our iron-clads built for us for 100 per ton, ready" for sea, and capable of steamiDg sixteen knots per hour iho itussian uovernment snow sense ana judgment wiien tiiey- want a cruiser: they come over to Philadel phia and find an iron ship there under construction, for use in mercantile service to and from our own shores; They find her swift, and every way adapted for war work, and they buy her at a cost not to exce'ed $250,000. Now if Uncle Sam wanted such a vessel the jod would be superintended by some old grizzle-backed admiral, with a'heart susceptible of bribe. It would be constructed nominally at the navy yard, but somehow John Roach would get in a bill for a million dollar, and other favorites, three or four hundred thou sand more; and a vessel, which, with armanent aboard, will not cost Russia $300,000 would cost Uncle Sam, under the peculiar system in vogue, just about ten times more. This is the Robesonism of the Navy Department To review the whole matter, fills a per sou with gorge, but to return to our navy caps the climax for indignation forty-three vessels and forty-five mil lion people. Germany has forty-four ships of war, twenty-three of which are iron-clads, and any one of which ould clean out the whole American Navy in an hour's fight. France has 492 vessels of war, carrying 2,834 guns; Italy, eighty-six ships, 676 guns; Spain, 89 vessels, 927 guns; Turkey, 78 ships, 500 guns, Denmark has twenty-eight ships of war, and a more effective and numerous armanent than our own. The Netherlands have 122 ships of war. Kussia La3 men-of-war, 501 guns, Of course there is no reason for com paring our own pigmy navy with those of any first-class power in Europe, but when we discover that Denmark and the Netherlands, obscure and as insig nificant as they are, far outrank na as naval povrers, while we have expended enough money to be equal to the best of them, the magnitude of our short comings can begin to be understood No one would presume that we havo any naval competitor on our own conti nent, bnt. turning to Brazil, we find she has fifty-nine steam ves els of war, carrying 193 guns, nineteen of which are iron-clads, carrying seventy-three guns. It is beginning to bo questiona ble whether we would dare affront the King of the Sandwich Islands, we cer tainly have no bnsiness playing brag gart anywhere. Rather than to squan der fifteen or sixteen million dollars, to which the appropriations are now re duced, as a pretense of a navy, such as we have, it would be better to scuttle or burn the rotten fleet, and go out of the business. We have not a respectable iron-clad, nor a first-class war vessel in the whole list, and it is farcial to call it a navy. To those who occasionally wish for Grant re-occupancv of the Presi dential chair, vre would point to the condition of our navy. It is one of the fruits of Grantism, and we are very much of the opinion that none but the shallow desire any more of it. The War Department has by general orders given snch instructions as will compel the removal of headquarters from Portland to Vancouver. The military are very sour over the order, as removal from the metropolis to the "rural deestrict" shuts down a vast quantity of flirtation and takes away much of the "pride and circumstance" of army life. It is pretty generally re gretted by the Portland people too; about the only really happy ones over the situation being the unregenerate ancouventes, who fancy they see the dawn of better days gilding the horizon of their hopes. An np-country newspaper corres pondent in endeavoring to quote from the Good Book thus breaks tho celes tial harmonv of that inspired work: "The wind cometh whither it listeth, bnt where it clatawaetn no man cum- tuxeth." That is about as bad a Rtag germent at quotation as was made by a iimjammed individual on the way to the "lock-up in charge of a policemen, who becked off from imprisonment on account of the scriptural injunction "Jug not lest ye be jugged." Steamship Opposition. The advent of the Great Republic plying in oar waters is accomplished, and down again goes fares and freights to an unreasonably low figure. We hope so long as the Oregon Steamship Company continues the short-sighted policy of advancing fares to. the ex cessively high price of twenty-five dol lars between Portland and San Fran cisco, that steamships can be found to break in on the extortionate monopoly as in the case of the Great Republic. First-class passenger fare3 ought not to be in excess of fifteen dollars between the two ports. For the fifty hours of carriage, it in now reduced to its ample pay, and if adopted and persisted in. would offer no inducement for an oppo sition. Apart from these reasons, we are glad to see a steamship of the bizo of the Great Republic in Portland. It proves our capability of caring far the largest class of steam vessels, and brushes away another mnstyj and fossil ized tradition that steamships of this class cannot navigate our waters. She is nearly of four thousand tons bur then, and draws but fifteen feet of water, light. She formerly belonged to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and was vised in the service between San Francisco and Hong Kong, which proves her strength and efficiency, and is undoubtedly to-day aa strong as ever. We hope to see her continued in the service long enough to teaoh the Oregon Steamship Company, who claim a monopoly of the. trade, that high fares and freights will provoke a repe tition of such visits in the future as in the past, if their short-sightedness is persisted in. We are not actuated by any malicious motive against the Ore gon Steamship Company in avering this, but having the good and prosper ity of onr State in view, solely impels us to inveigh against this company. No motor so wholly controls the spring of action of an intending emigrant as cheap fares. It influences the direc tion of his hegira, and very largelj de termines his place of final residence. We need population have room for it, and desire it. We must look Califor- niaward for it, as that is the great res ervoir into which is projected the emi gres from the four quarters of the earth. The Oregon Steamship Company in a great measure embargo it from coming here, on account of excessive fares, con sequently we welcome the Great Re public, as through such agencies are opened the means of reasonable com munication to and from our shores. The N. l R. R"Asain. The poor fool of the Oregonian is still growling about the objectionable fea tures of the N. P. R. R. extension bill as it passed the Senate, still it won't state, and it never has stated what is the reprehensible parts of the bill. It got Rev. Atkinson to deliver himself of a long article on the subject, who hints that the objectionable part is the com pulsory bnilding of the portages around the Cascades and Dalles. The fat boy has since intimated that the trouble is that it provides for the taxation of rail road lands after they are Biirveyed, and the company comes into the possession of them. In these two propositions there is nothing that is calculated to shock any fair ideas of propriety. If the Oregonian wants to champion the cause of the monopolists in resistance to the building of the portage road3, whereby Eastern Oregon will still re main in the clutches of the O. S. N. Co., and also stand as the opponent of taxation of tho railroad earned and surveyed lands, it should say so plainly ro the neonle mav know iust where it can be found; but the tact is patent and plain enough that it is a panderer to the wishes and desires of a class cf monop olists who have no interest of the gen eral public to subserve, bui only their own grasping and intolerant desires to gratify. Mitchell stands in the way of individual pretentions of this kind, and fools like Scott and the Democracy in ereneral. have brain enough to compre hend it. even if they will not endorse his policy at the polls. TIia TvVdfoot land, which, from its traditional rainfall, compelled the wear ing of bobtail coats to keep them above the flood line, has undergone a climatic change, and we are now enjoying the Inxnrv of a drouth.

As the Bannock Indians have apper ently made the Stein Mountains their b3se of operations, it. may be of some interest to some of our readers to know something of them. They are a high range of mountains running northeast by southwest, and within about fifty miles of tho 171 ah a line on the east, and about one hundred miles of the Nevada line on the South. They contain very little timber, but no doubt are wen ca culated as a rdace for Indian opera tions. The distance from the Dalits to these mountains is somewhere within three hundred miles, by way of Canyon City and camp Harney. A new form of electric light has been invented which bids fair to supercede the use of gas. as it can be furnished much cheater than the last named article. If we had any 6tock we should be seekinsr a "purchaser about this time. Some of the Eastern cities have already commenced to introduce the new in vention. The Democratic JJackdown. Chicago Inter-Ocean. June 17. The Democrats originated the Potter committee, and inaugurated tho inves tigation to advance the interests of the Democratic party. The. Democrats in Congress put themselves on record as favoring the revolutionary programme marked out in the Potter resolution, The question covered by this resolu tion was made a party one, and the Democratic party, as a party, was com mitted to the line of action marked out. The 6tep waB taken deliberately, and the experiment was tried. The import ance of the step as a political maneuver must be measured by the results of the venture. - When the Potter resolntion was pre sented in the House, the Republicans desired to amend bo aa to have the res olution declare that no attack on the President's title was intended. They were not allowed to do this, and all the other amendments, looking to a thor ough investigation were rejected. The Democratic resolution was adopted as offered, and the investigation was in augurated on the Deniocratio plan. Two weeks have passed, and in what plight does this Democratic programme leave the Democratic party t The investigation has proceeded just as the Democratic managers insisted it should proceed. The Democrats huve chosen their witnesses, and have had access to all documents and records. They have had their own way about everything, and yet they have failed to make a case, or any show of on. This is the result so far as the Republican party is concerned. As to the Demo cratic party, the experience of the last two weeks leaves it in a most pitiable plight. It opened the battle as the assailant of the Republican imrtv. choosing its own ground. In two weeks it has been driven from every- position, and now stands on the defensive. Denied the opportunity for through investigation in the House, the Republicans so man aged as to secure the opportunity in the Senate. Failing to secure an amendment to the Potter resolution de claring that the President's title could not be assailed, the Republicans struck in another direction, and secured the adoption of a resolution much more sweeping in its declarations. 1 wo weeks ago Democratic Congress men pledged themselves to a policy that contemplated the unseating of the President. .Last inday, outflanked and demoralized, tuey voted lor a res olution that dec'ares that policy revo utionary. Ihey went lurtuer, and in diaposing of the Blair memorial declar ed that neither Congress, nor court. nor other tribunel has power to reverse the declaration that tho Presides t had been dulv elected. At the opening of this brief campaign the Democrats had a united majority in uongress; they had taken position on the Presidential question, in the reduc tion of the army, aLd bad entertained the Blair resolution as to the illegality of the election of President Hayes. At the end, their majority is demoralized, if not divided; they have abandoned their position on the Presidential ques tion, have backed down from tueir ag gressive stand for army reduction, and have repudiated the revolutionary Blair resolution. All this has been in the nature of a retreat in the face of an en emy. Committed to one line of action, the Democrats in Congress have been forced to take another, by Republican strategy or by public opinion. They have been out-maneuvered and fright ened, and deserve little credit for their votes on Bnrchard a resolution. Given an opportunity by their majority in Congress to make their point, they havo abused it ard have lost ground. In the language of General Grant, they have tilled the bucket and kicked it over. They stand before the people convicted of intent to revolutionize, claiming credit becanse.they were fright ened and compelled to abandon their purpose. They come before the coun try on a record which proved to be so repulsive to the people that they had to eat their words, and repudiate their own programme. The worst enemies of the Democratic partv could not wish it to be in a more pitiable plight than it is now. Territorial. Sixty more dwellings are to be bnilt at Dayton this Summer. Simcoe valley, in Yakima county, is 70 miles long by from 20 to -40 wide with soil aa rich as the Willamette val ley. A man named Tom Dunning, work ing in a logging camp near Olympia, a few days ago was instantly killed; while standing between two logs they col lided, crushing his body in two.

Seattle Tribune: We understand that some little excitement is prevalent in official circles at Olympia, caused by the coming of word from Washington that charges had been preferred to President Hayes against Gov. Ferry by Messrs. McEIroy and Wheat. The character of the charges we did not learn. Samuel Low, who came to Oregon from Sangamon county. 111., in 1855, lived until '72 in Rogue river valley, and since then near Silverton, in Ma rion county, died recently at Colfax, W, T., whither he had gone to. visit his descendants. He was 67 years of age. A petition signed by 581 persons of both sexes is before the constitutional convention at Walla Walla, asking that the word " male " be left out of the por tions of the constitution which refer to the elective franchise. Schnltz, who escaped from . the Ore gon Penitentiary a sbort time since, ap peared on the streets of Port Towns end and in different stores, purchasing provisions, on Tuesday last, but was soon recognized by a former acquaint ance, when he made his disappearance. We understand he has disguised him self by wearing a heavy but false black beard. The New York Graphic is very friend ly to General Butler, and has nomi nated him as the candidate of the Greenbackers and Workingmen for the Dext President. But it warns him that be has "one of his wandering hoofs on the side of that foaming pail of milk, and that he is at this moment in great danger of kicking it over," and adds? "General Butler must go slow. He is too smart by half. He is so extremely vivacious and alert that he is always embarrassing his friends and admirers." The Ion a Republicans placed the fol lowing ticket in the field on the 19th inst.: J. A. T. Hall, for Secretary of State; B. R. Sherman for State Auditor; George IV. Bemis, for State Treasurer; J. K.

Holmes, for Clerk of Supreme Court. Rockwell, leader of the notorious Mormon Danites, died recently in Salt Lake City. He was under indictment for participation in the murder of the Aiken Immigrants in 1857. There is a suspicion that he was foully dealt with by some of his old associates in crimewho feared a confession on his From all we can learn the much talked of Edison's phonograph is not a a pronounced success, and it has noth ing of the minute fidelity of imitation of the human voice claimed for it by the over-zealous friends.
