Tho independent demonstrations
which were expected to follow the dis
banding of the Republican party in
several of the Southern States, do not
amount to much, Democrats cannot be
led to abandon their party organization
to any great extent, They see the OBJ
jest the enemy has in view, and do not
feel disposed to fall into the tnp. In
Mississippi the Democratic State Con
vention took the same action that would
have been taken had there been mn or.
ganized opposition in the field And
the local conventions are following the
example. In reviewing the situation
in that State, the Memphis Appeai says
there is no reason why the canvass
should not be spirited, nor why the
party should not come forth victorious
in every school district in the State,
Every gain made viii be so much tow.

DEsoLATIoN.-A writer in the Stock
ton, California, " Independent, who has
been making trip through the west
side of San Joaquin valley, says:
A region Of more utter desolation
cannot be imagined For forty-two
miles from Bdntas to Hills Ferry there
is not a spearEof grass or blade Of wheat
to be seen. The isolated farm houses.
dotted at intervals over the bleak and
barren plain, wear an aspect of hopeless
poverty. Many Of them are deserted
by their owners, who have gathered
their effects together and with their
families have sought employment and
sustenance in other more favored locali-
ties. Looking up the valley, the Coast
Range, or ratB her the Mount Diablo
Range, with IFS brown, yerlurcless
fanks, sweeps down abruptly to the
plain on the right, while on the left the
eye is relieved by the green fringe Of
oak and willow trees that marks the
circuitous course Of the San Joaquin
river Strnight ahead the vision is linn
itcd by the horizon.

Yomhlll Reporter: Grain In some
localities Of this district Is turning
out somewhat below the estimates
that had been made upon II. Mr..
fuckers field, near town, which
was confidently counted at 40 bushels
to the acre, yielded only 92 bushels,
aud the deficit prevails Mt about this
ratio throughout the county South
of this place. The average yield in
this section is placed at 20 bushels.
Farmers calculated on much larger
yield Of fall grain early In tho season,
but the weather was such as TO pro-
duce a prodigous growth of straw at
the expense Of the perfecting process
In the grain cells, and the consequence
is, about one-third of every head is
empty. The quality Of grain, how
over, Is not impaired, and we have
tho same large full bright kernels
that We are used to seeing Oregon.

oREGONs IMMIGRATION.

1t is estimated That since the first OF
March Oregon has added to her popula,
.ties;I by immigration, three thousand
per month making n grand total Of
$4,000 souls, At this mte il may be
safely calculated that by the end of the
year our population will have increased,
for the year 1877, at least 10000.
This added to 100000 already within
the State, and Oregon would have q
population Of 10000, Next year will
give us 10000 more, making the 20o,-
600 of Il population necessary to secure
mn additional Congressman,
Az the rate of increase for the past
two years the census Of Oregon for 1880
will show a remarkable increase in the
past decade, and will place our State
well up in the ranks of the young com
monwealths of the Union.
