Oregon, the present season, is said to
surpass that of any harvest ever gath
cred. There gre fears that There
will not be sufficient tonnage to carry
off tho markets surplus. The Oro-

The Ohio darEies Rlds ally have
issued call for State convention.
They are grievcd at the deficiencies
in the Civil Rights bill. They arc
discontented and disgruntlod. They
ccmpfa!n that public institutions and
railroads do not treat them as they
do the whites, and "that the right Of
voting ought to carry with it the
right of being voted for" And so it
ought. In, North Cerolina it does,
but it seems in Ohio it does not.
Hero the negroes are strong, there
they arc weak. Bpt. in our own
State they have allowed their white
allies too great monopoly Of offices.
They have kept the State under
Radical control ; why then havo they
not scrambled more for otlicc7 They
have been too modest in their claims.
OF course, as long rs they elect whites
they will get DO Office and no pelf.
Why should eighty thousand negroes
allow fifteen thousand whitesj their
confederatesl to hold nearly every
Office. Last year they ought to have
demanded a more equitable division.
Is not James Harris i more intelli-
gent man than Brogden the Lieutcn-
ant Governor We rause for re-
ply. Tho Radicals are trying to
head off the colored movement in
Ohio. They hope to do this by buy
ing up the lcad!pg negro politicians.
