MISCELLANEOUS. ; SUNDAY.... DEC. 1. 18SI J. F. IIAZ.LORA.Y... Editor. Probabilities. To ONE inclined to indulge'in ! prophecy, says the S: F. Com mercial News, '-It would be rea sonably safe to predict that wheat has seen .its best days for the sea son. In addition to the bountiful crop raised this year, and the large supply carried over from last sea season, Oregon and "Washington Territory are sending more of their surplus here for shipment than has been the case in past years. The steamers that arrived yesterday brought 1S,5S5 centals of "wheat, and every arrival adds consider able to our supply. At the present rate, the increase over last year from that quarter will be not far from 200,000 centals by the turn of the year. The situation abroad is not satisfactory to holders of tonnage or wheat, and the pros pects of an improvement in the English market at present time seem very gloomy. Unless a change occurs there, or in spite of present brilliant prospects, the winter here should prove an unusu ally dry one, there seems to be little encouragement for holding out for higher prices, and the fact mentioned above, that many specu lators are taking steps to unload, is evidence that the- have also ar rived at the same conclusion. Tun steamer Salem lias brought down a full load of Hour and grain direct from Salem, passing through Oregon City. We hope the time is not far distant when we will be able to chronicle the arrival of car goes of wheat direct, not only from Salem, Albany and Corvallis, but also from The Dalles, through the Cascade locks. "1 pity those," says Goethe, 'who bewail the mutability of things, and who lose themselves in speculations concerning the nothingness of the world. What arc we here for if not to make the transitory lasting? And this is only possible if we cau estimate both at their true cost." Puomixent Boston men have in hrtnd a scheme to build sea-going vessels with bare decks, dom ing the vessels and thus protecting them from being swept by u heavy sea. The projectors claim the feasibility of the idea, which has all the attractiveness of novelty. Odessa, once the greatest grain port of the world, is now lighted by electricity, and by day and night tho work of shipping wheat goes on to counteract what the German journals style ''the obsti nate corner1"in the United States. In his annual report Mr. Price, commissioner of Indian affairs, correctly sas: ''If white men weie treated as we treat the Indi ans, the result would certainly be a race of worthless vasrobonds." ..Thi: Puget Sound Argus thinks 'that-the act of the territorial legis lature in. repealing the pilot law without providing a substitute, is without exception one of the most remarkable instances of legislative atuitv on record." O.SE of the first matters before to-morrow's Congress will bo the 'p'ayment of 100,000, to the med ical nttenders on President Gar field. Higcock of New York seems to hvae the call on the Speakership, Kasson being considered too good "k debater to be spared from the floor of the House. . Eiftuen million dollars worth -of property w.-is destroyed by b'uslf'fires'in the province of On tario this season. Warranty dee Js, quit claim deeds and mortgages, for aalo at this office. ASTORIA- OF.SGONr of the charm'. Jn i, Hoi U . n jo iu li-.ero is no arainrmfri I .vw w wwuB bia river bs r? Can some one en lighten u?'? It is not for want of an appropriation, for the last ap propriation has not been expend ed; and it was made for the bar at t'lie mouth of the Columbia riv er as well as for the river itself. None of that appropriation has yet been expended, I believe, on work on the bar although it was intended it should go to that pur- pose by those who obtained it in j congress. It is certainly not be cause the work is not needed, al though I am aware there are some living one hundred miles or raoro away from the bar who think or pretend to think there is plenty of water on the bar for.any ship to cross safely. Notwithstanding, here is the Oracle drawing 22A feet and unable to load deeper and take her full load to England because there is not sufficient wa ter on the bar. Notwithstanding, nearly every ocean steamer going to and coming from San Francisco and drawing only seventeen to eighteen feet is detained several hours or more waiting for high water in order to cross the bar. Take notice too that these steam ers have their own pilots. They are neither ''monopoly" pilots nor u opposition" pilots. Notwith standing there are many vessels deeper and large than the Oracle which would have come here to load wheat and would have brought freight down to a reason able figure if they could have crossed the bar. This dragging is certainly not done because it ac complished nothing. No. not that, for Mr. Buchanan who did the dragging on the bar has pub lished a letter himself, ffiving the result of his twenty days work on the bar. The result was a deep ening of six feet at a cost not to exceed two thousand dollars and the formation of a new channel that has held its depth ever since. I now repeat what I said before. If one third of the money spent in useless surveys on the bar had been expended in dragging the harrow we would have plenty of water for the present. What must wc do? Wo must imitate the noble example proposed by the city of Portland and raise by taxa tion a sufficient sum of money, say two thousand dollars, to continue the dragging on the bar until two or three feet more wafer is ob tained.

Mr. Editer: lithe charges preferred agaiubt ihr police department of this city by "Citi zen," in the Astoriax of yesterday, can be substantiated, it is not ver cred itable to the municipality of Astoria. The Chief of Police, as we understand, desires to shoulder all the blame on the city fathers and complains of having been "set down upon" by that bod, time and again, when endeavoring to govern and nitrify the force so as to render it what it should be in cverj well regulated city; he says the "records show this;" in fact to converse with him on the subject one would think him the worst injiucd man in the comrnuity. But, mark you, Mr. Editor,, this same would-be-model officer holds it no 10 lation of duty for an officer to bo en gaged in such infamy as that in hieh Ginderheld complicity with Card well; he asserts that no one came to him who would swear cognizance of the matter. i consequently he would not have been jnsuneti in bus)i;nuiuy una mini ui in oven investigating the charges; alas! the community now Know titey are too true, "though there has not been, to our knowledge at least, any sworn testimo ny adduced. We think this party has need to exhibit something more than the foregoing by which to shield him self from the charges set forth by "Citi zen.' Wc aro not alone in thinking that it is high time for making a radical change in the manner of conducting our city afTalrs by putting men iu office who will uphold the majesty of the law, who will be dauntless in the discharge of duty, and not swerve therefrom for any personal or party good, and who will even wield authority in subservi ence to the known will of the populace. It is just as well to remind our citizens, irrespective of party or clique, that on the 14th of this month the election for Mayor and two Councilmen will take place, when the ring with cunningly laid plans will rehabilitate themselvcJ in the robes of office, if the lovers of good government lapse into listlessness and do not strenuously exert themselves.
