FARMERS, LOOK SHARP.

In the columns of this paper there is
a adispatch stating this: " Letters from
Baltic ports contain important infor-
nation. The Russian government has
entered the grain market in Germany
as purchaser of cereals" In view of
this dispatch the following facts are
worth attention:
Russia is grain growing country.
Barley ripens even under the 10th
parallel and wheat is successfully cul-
tivated as high up as the 62nd and
cath parallel. All the cereals arc pro-
duced in such abundance as to meet
not only the demand for home con-
sumption, but leave large surplus
for export. In 1857 the grain exports
OF Russia amounted to 81 ,5ss, ,981 ru-
bles-equal to ss,69I, ,7s6 dollars. In
1858 it was q very little short of this
amount. Now if these letters from the
Baltic are true, they contain inform
alton of vast Importance to wheat ex-
porting States and particularly to Ore,
gon. They indicate failure of the
crop of cereals in Russia this year. and
that lnstcad of being an exporter of
grain, that country has become an
importer and must call upon those
countries with whom she has been in
competition as seller to buy. The
probabilities are that there viii be n
season ofunusual activity in the wheat
market by the time the new crop is
ready for market.
Portland spectators already have
agents in the country who are buvire
mp grain at the old figures. Some of
these agents represent their purchases
as made with view to take advan-
tage of the tonnage offered for Liver
pool. They are more likely made in
contemplation of rise in the wheat
market.
The telegraph information may not
DC true-of that the readers Judgment
Is as competent as ours. Ifit is true
the result is easy to foresec. Wheat
viii have ready sales at fair figures
and healthy excitement will per-
wade all branches of business. Adj
vices from California Indicate that the
coming crop will not be so good as
usual because of the excessive warm
weather there. In Oregon there is no
such danger. There is rarely in anv
section of the State more at most than
q partial failure. The Willamette
Valley never fails. The harvest is as
certain as the seed time, and if cheap
transportation can be had to market
the Willamette Valley, in proportion
to its area and people, will compete
with any country in the world in ma
terial prosperity and wealth.

LET as HAVE PEACE.

The radical convention held in Tenn
csSce May p, according to published
proceedings, was one Of the most cx-
traordinary in its make up and results
that ever assembled in any country.
Il was disgrace TO American poll
tics-and VIC would say to the radical
party, only that thing is just impossi'
bic. 1t was made up of white men,
50 called, toothlcss negroes and Gen.
Tom H. Pearnc, formerly of Oregon.
The proceedings were intcrspcrscd
with laughter, jcers, groans, yells and
continuous discharge of oaths and
epithcts, unfit for description. The
row was about two candidates for
Governor, Stokes and Sentcr. 1t was
a congiomcration not only of fearful
sounds but Of strange smclls-as
witness the following remark from one
member, Gen. James Brownlow: "Get
that negro bottle of perfumcry and
III pay for it, he will disseminate
cholera if he stays here any longer" :"
The cpithcts which were applied by
members to members, would do bill
ingsgate no discredit. They may have
been truthful enough but they are
unfit to be read outside of the moral
ity party. The following arc couple
ofextracts from the more decent and
readable portion of the proceedings.
What the other portions are like, the
reader must imagine.
"Pcarne nos left tho chair. Hc had hardly
straightcncd up before Butler, looking as pale as a
ghost and little weary, hurricdly slid into The
chair, and, with an air of exultntion and triumph.
seized Gates gayel and pounded ii upon tho desk
in front. lie was about to speak, when a loud
yell accompanied with gronns, jeers and derisiye
laughter from the Senter party, weakened his in
tention. The Stokes party set up tremendous
howl Of exultation. The shouts Of the two parties
coiamingled together sounded like the continuous
roar Of muskctry. SO deafening and oyerwhelm-
ing were the laundering echoes of the demoniacal
and irreprcssiole hows, that the members were
compelled 10 put their thumbs in their ears.
Crowds Of Stokes men now occupied the stand.

(Yclls for Senter, and cries for Lewis). A hugo
disturbance hero ensued and the greatest excite
ment prevailed, during which General Barlow
placed his hand on his pistol and was about to go
into individual on the stand. A seemed
imminent. The mass of humanity apon the floor
swayed to and fro like trees in a hurricane. The
police jumped over the reporters table, n big
crowd gathered around, and the members of the
press were. for time, compelled to relinquish
their positions or be tramped under foot. Per-
sons around the stand were seized with panic, and
no one seemed to know which way to turn or
whittier to go. One pistol shot would have been
the signal for terrible riot"

THE BUGGY BUSINESS.

"A newspaper should be neither fac-
tious nor personal. But if there is
cause for complaint, il should com
plain. If there is nm abuse in Office,
there ought to be no dcieacy in an
imadyerting upon it. This is some
times disagrecablc. It is always n
duty.
A correspondent from Salem says
that Oliver Wiswell is charging up n
buggy bill against the State and that
his books do not show upon whose
account the interesting relation of
debtor and creditor between the State
and himself is created. This omis-
sion is probably out of delicacy TO
the feelings of the Executive; but it
amt business. Our correspondent,
with becoming sarcasm, calls it mice
way" Heretofore We have not had
much complaint to make of Mr.. W.,
although he and the State do consid-
cradle of this kind of business togetll-
er. We suggest that in the future he
make his book entries show who rides
and where.
Mr.. Wiswell, who is an unobjection-
able man, is first introduced to the
public in the Seeretary's Report, Sept.
ID, 1866, on which day he gets war
rant for $40. Why he gets it isn't
stated. The Secretary says ''scc
Penitentiary Report" Those who
take the trouble to "see Pcnitentiary
report" will wonder why they were
asked to do so, since it contains not
the slightest allusion to the item oi
$50, and rs literary effort is By no
means success. On the Goth of the
same month Mcssrs. s. &c ]. Durbin
put in an appearance in two places,
for $ls and for $o-with the same
marginal advice, "sce Penitentiary
Report" But the Pcnitcntiary re.
port is as reserved with reference to
Messrs. Durbiu as it is with reference
to Mr.. Wiswcll.
April 9th, by the same report, there
was a warrant issued for $3.50 for
"IIorsc and carriage hire, Gov. Woods
visit Pcn'ry." Similar warrants wcrc
issued June Z Cor 1880, Oct. 1st for
$43, Dee. 9th for 500, and for s25 tor
an Insane Asylum excursion. These
bills are rather more expensive than
explicit. The fact that visit TO the
/ Peuitentiary in June costs 1886
while in Dec. it costs SEQ indicates
| that buggics are n fuctuatIng M well
rs : costly commodity and that i
this pcrnicious precedent is cstablisIs
cd buggy hire is liable to get beyond
ordinary calculation by the time til,
next Secretary report is issued. Th,
executive Is required to visit the Pen
itentiary, distance Of one mile, only
four times IN year and 500 for on'
trip looks like obeying the require
mcnt TO q reprehcnsiblc extent.
If tbe Federal Government merge.

policy shall provide for the absorp
tion of Wiswelfs Livery Stable int

OCCUPATION GoSE.-Tf the telegraph
is correct there is a regiment of agents
and superintendents belonging to the
Indian service who have fitted
through very brief, not brilliant
official career. These men all thought
that military man would make the
better President, and the President by
a singular coincidence thinks that
military men make the best Indian
agents Here are our own ATeachem

served the radicals; how they tread

surely their greatness was ripening."

their aspirations in the moment of
their fulfllment. All is vanity

A radical paper in Chicago, in opposing

ONE of the publishers of this paper
is alluded to in the last issue of the
Press in very complimentary terms
and then accused of reprinting an ex-
tract "from disreputable source" con-
tanning a covert attack upon the
Press. Neither the subject of the
paragraph, in the Press, nor his as
sociatc, have any desire for a personal
or political controversy with that or
any other Democratic paper. The
former was not in Albany when the
offending publication was made, and,
beyond what original matter be con
tributed, knew nothing ofthe contents
of that issue of the DEMOCRAT.
