Coins so stamped have to be sold as bullion, thus entailing Serious loss on holders. Coins even slightly woi n will no longer pass current. If the suggestion made by the CLieogo XntC'-Oeoan is carried out the entire northwest will join in n grand centen nial celebration next year. Our eon- tem-jMjrar}- arg'i s that the adoption ol the ordinance of 17*7 which forever ex cluded slavery from the northwestern territory d -sei vr ■> sueli n public recogni tion. It is hardly possible that anybody will be found to argue otherwise ; the or dinance may well in-piie the northwest to indulge in the heartiest sort of an an niversary. ________________ Secretary of War Endicott is quoted in the Washington Critic as saving with reference to the detention in Mexico o) Editor Cutting, an Anieri'-.in citizen, whose release Mr. Bayard has dem ml <•<!: “Don’t you think it rati r ridicu lous to make war on Mexico for the sake of one man, when we have tamely sub mitted for the last two month; to the in dignities of Canada upon bundle is of our citizens?” It would be more than foolish to make war upon any countty Until every resort known to diplomacy h is been tried and prove I unavailing for the redress of any g.ievance; but it is fairly well established that two wiongs do not make a right. Though no one c ill blame Mr. Endicott for his severe urraighment of the adininirtration of which he is a part, yet its blundeis and deidictions in one ease are not to be made an excuse for a similar course in another case. T. Egcrton Hogg, president of the Oregon Pacific railroad, and some Chi cago and Noitl.westein Railway compa ny officials went to Astoria on the City of Salem. The Asturian says ' the Chi cago pud Northwest - n men are doubt less aware of the existence of a little station called Sheridan, in tl e southern pint of Yamhill county, and the peculiar facilities for i ailroad com mu me ution with deep wafer it affords.” There is not much contained in the reniaik to attract tlm attention if the <"<su.il observer; but it is lull of deep i-igni'i. a ice. The Westen terminus oi the Na rot. linage is at -heridan. it h <s b en r *p.a ted by engineers and others w Im have t. aveisod the rout - that from Sheridan to Astoria via the Nestm-e i and Tillumook country there is a I’ktural pr.- s, ami as a gent! ■- man remarked to us not long since “ h railroad could bo built th ough this ■countiy us easily as from D.ivtou to Dal ian.” That, is what our neighbor at the mouth of the Columbia refers Io; and it is the opinion of many that it w ill not be many years until we shall see a railroad running over Illis route. Tho conviction of several officers of «lection ut I Cincinnati, who were among tho perpetrators of tho notorious fraud, in that city by which the Ohio legisla ture was nearly capture 1 la t year, will give much satisfaction to the pc,.; d ■ who care for lion- st governni ■ t. The imme diate object if these frauds was to de feat tho re-eiecti >n of Senator Sherman, an 1 to secure his seat, for some demo crat, blit th* control of the Iegislatui-- was also expect--.! to I ■ l.u --ly pro,¡ta ble to a democratic ring of corruption ists. Tho scheme was on’y defeated by the resolute opposition of citiz msof both pa-ties who united to expose fraud, but who weie unable to find a single d mo cratie member in cither l.ianeh of the legislature, to the disgrace of Unit partv hu it said, who would in any w ay aid the defeat of crimes perpetrated foi the benefit of his patty. It is a good thing that some of the criminals have been convicted, but the greatest «ml most guilty eiiminals who instigated the crime have as yet escaped. l’robably tho loss of political influence in Ohio and the loss of reputation everywhere will be about the only punishment they will suffer1. Tho postmaster general l-.a.s issued a circular of information and instruction to postmasters concerning and prepara tory to putting into practice Oct -her 1st, tho act of August 4, ISStI, authorizing the extension of tho rp.-.iil delivery system to ail post.411,-e* and to all mail able matter.

(Oregonian Dispatch.) • C hicago , Aug. 15.—The following crop report will appear in this week’s issue of the Farmer’s Review: “The rains dining the week ending Salurdav week were more general throughout the corn ls-lt than at any previous time since early in May, and brought a medium hope to farmers whose corn fields were burning and withering. Reports from correspondents, received during the week, indicate more thoroughly than ever before that the total average yield will he seriously reduced, vast areas having been blighted beyond any power of resuscitation. Out of ninety counties in Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Neb,aska, Kansas and Mis,mi1, from which returns came during tlm week, only eighteen predicta full average yield; thirty coun ties indicate not to exceed one-fourth oi i crop; twenty-six repoit a promise of three-fourth of an average crop; while in ten counties corn promises a yield id not to exceed five to ten bushels an acre unless for fodder. Tho most discourag- i ig reports come from Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Misscnii, while the most .‘lie i. a.-i-ig still come from Ohio, Miss issippi, Nielrgan, and Indiana, .’linne- soto reports contiuue to indicate a fair average yield in Edgar, while Jasper, Dewitt and Morgan report a promise of three-fouiths of an average yield. In Bond and McHenry count.es one-fouith of an averageyield is indicated. Through out Illinois complaints eon'inue. Pas tures are completely drying up. Late- planted pastures are generally a failure. In Iowa, liuiubol.lt county is tho only one yielding full average. Estimating by counties reported this week the yield for tho state at la:go will not exceed .50 to 6 I per cent, of an average. The crop in D.-catur end Carrol counties is set down us a failure. Wheat is threshing very unevenly, but the grain is gaining well. The yield ranges from eight to twenty bushels. Threshing reports from Dakota show a yield of from five to eighteen bui'hels. The yield of the ter ritory will fall con iderab'y short of any former yearly average. Oui* X ( »iglibors. Dayton.
