That tho Treasury boars this burden ia true, but it has Yorne it for years, and many will ask why it sbould now for the firat time produce an increase Iu tho debt, Nothing came of the talk which Captain Jack songht as o means of ending the Modoowar. S¥hen tho timo arrivod for tho conferonce, which wus to bo held ona high hill betweon tho hostilo 2ampy, our represontatives presented them- selves, a8 Captain Jock had requestod, but that redoubtable chieftain refused to emerge from tho security of his camp. Ho has been tuld, peremptorily, that if ho desires to Lold uny more big talks with our officors, ho st seek thom in their own quarters. He is given Lwo doys to make lis peace, failing which, ke aud bis poople will find their lava bods made tuo hot for them. The police controversy will be advanced ono stop to-day, when the Mayor will nominato Lo sitizons as Polico Commissioners in place of Masgra, Klokke and Rono, That the Mayor will &et with fivnesd aud complote independouce in the solection of the Commissioners, we havo no doubt, sud the city will domand that the Com- won Council shiall cordially co-oporate with him, Ly promptly conflrming. Liis nomiuations. This 18 no time for porsonal feelings and wishes as to tho choice of individuals, Whon thoe Mayor pro- eenta thonames of responsible and respectablo citizens fit for tho presont emergency, and who will enforco authority, there should bo no hesi- tation on the parf of the Common Qouncil.

They will naturally con- =tuda that thoso who have no authority to oxder paymout for thelr sorvices cannot have very or tho opizootle seoms fnconsiderable. Day be- foro yosterday n fearful snow-atorm dosconded upon England vory mudh like thoso that doso- Iated the prairios of the Northwoest and ovor- whelmed Now York. In London, travel is virtually susponded and tho streots desorted. Tho English and Irish consts aroe strown with wrecks and dond bodies, Tho storm is ono of tho most violont that over visited Gront Britain ot this timo of yoar, It is singnlar that theso outbroaks of Naturc should multiply at a mo- ment whon tho fosts of Wonther Burcaus had almost mado us bellovo that tho weathor wan undor our control, and fortunato that moteoro- loglical scionce hos boen nble in many caves to forowarn in timo to save. The Chileago produce markets wore rathor less sotive on Baturday, with fow important changes in pricos, Mess pork was quiot and steady at $12,00 cash, and $12.80@12.95 seller March, Lard was in fair demand and stendy at $7.80 por 100 1ba cash, and $7.566 sollor March.

Live hogs were in good Eastern- and lacal da- mand, at about yestordny's prices, or at £3.85@ 4.25, Tho cattlo and sheop marketa woro dull, and easy. Tue Samana Bay Company's operations in Ban Domingo have now found their counterpart in tho operations of tho Polynesian Land and Com- morcial Company, recontly organized in Ban Franciaco, which has purchasod 800,000 acres of cotton-growing land in the Navigator's Islands, which lie northeast of Australin and almost north of Now Zenland. Tho Company was first organized, witlia capitol of §100,000, the ob- jocts of tho Company boing the purchaso of lands, acquiring barbor and other privileges, and the formation of a troding dopot and coal- ing station to connect with the stenm- ship lines Dbotwoen 8an Francisco and Australia and Now Zealand, Binco tho first formation of depols tho Company has gone on aud purchased 414 squaro milos of land, ‘making with the quantity previously purchased about 800,000 ncros,which thoy propose devoting to Bea Island cotton, They also have posses- sion of tho harbor of Pango-Pango, which is tho only land-protected harbor in tho Pacifie islands, and is tho key to tho wholo group. It is croditablo to Amorican enterpriso that, while the English Governmont sud English capitalists were ongaged in talking about Pango-Pango, Amorican capitalists stepped in and took possos- sion of it. Tho immodiate protext upon which the ex- Boord of Polico Commissioners nssumed to ro- move Superintondont Washburn, was the pro- mulgation of the twelve-hour order; and they have endeavored to croato popular sympathy by proagive, Tho fact is, that tho division of patrol duty into twelvo houra on and twelve hours off, allowing timo for menls, line boen succossfully adopted in sovoral largo cities. It bea proved to be at onco to tho public advantage, nmid in tho individual intorest of the patrolmen. Moro- over, in thoso busincsses whick require cohatant duty, clerks and other employos aro accustomed to arrange their own timo after this fashion, proforring it to the practico of altornating every six hours, Tho voluntary adoption of this division of time slows that mon havo better opporiunities undor it for rest, re- cereation, domostic affairs, and privato business, Had tho ordor beon obsorved for thros months, it is probablo that the patrolmon would nevor willingly bave returned to the old eustom. .Tho particular publi¢ advantage of tho proposed sys- tom was, by a division of tho police forco into throe platoons, to have & double forco on the streots during tho entire night,—an arrange- ment which would decroase the robberies, burg- laries, and deods of violonce in & large propor- tion, The pretonco on the part of tho depored Po- lico Commissioners and thoir counsol that they ro anxious to have thoe conflict dofinitely eot- tled by the Courts is not warranted by their ac- tion ju iho premises. Mr. Tuley has cloarly in- dicnted the way In which they should proceed, if thoy Linve no other intorost in the present con- troversy than toact according to law. ‘They find thomselves romoved by suthorily guaranteed by the oxisting law. They know that to practically deny that authority, and to endeavor to rotain the positiona from which thoyhavebeon removed, has s tondoncy to demoralize the forco in which they protend to have an interest, They would losononeof theirclaimsor rightsbysubmittingto the removal de facto, nnd transferring their op- position from the City Hall to the Courts. Thoy can apply for a writ of quo warranto, compolling the Mayor to show by what authority ho re- moved thom and appointed their succossora, If Mosers, Klokke and Rono dosired honestly to teat the law, this would bo tho most natural and straightforward course for them to puraue. It would not need the co-operalion of the Mayor in any agrood caso, and, in the meantimo, thoy would not occupy tho pesition thoy now oceupy beforo the public,—that of rofractory and mutin- ous subordingtes, refusing to recognize propor authority to the dolriment of tho interosts of tho city. Tho conaus of France for 1872 mokea o pointed and interesting exhibit of tho loss of life and monoy in the Franco-Prussinn war. In 1800, tho dato of the preceding census, Franco had o pophlation of 38,007,09f, Ono of the elghty- nino dopartments hae heen ceded ontire to Gor- many, with a population of 1,697,208, Deducte ing thono, the preacnt torritory of France Liad o population of 80,460,850, This showas an actunl o4 authority for ordering them to disobey 1iuir Executive hoad, We spprohend that the ruul: and fila of the forco will, to-day, declaro turuirelves o unit on this point, i —— 2ot for years Las the weathor boon so serious uTastter ay for the past fow months. Poople Justifiod in maklng it the themo of their veraations, for in ita catastrophes moro lives «al property have been lost tho last haif scur than by any other single cause, T'ho inun- 1o §n Italy, France, England, and along tho eyman Ocean, the atorma which have ravaged &l thuse coasts and swept our own prafries, have jravuzht mischiof boside which the Boston fire 1osa of 806,995, and, adding tho loss of tho pop- ulation of the terrilory ceded to Gormany, o do- crense fn six years of 1,904,173 poople in the population of Franco, It is cstimated that the nafural increase of population during four years of tho six that elapeed botwoon the two consuses was 160,000 por amurm, aud 160,000 moro for the lnst two yenrs, This would give an aggregate natural incroaso of 760,000 souls, which, added to tho actual loss of 366,935, wonld mako a loea of 1,116,905 lives during tho six yoars, A partof this decrenso may ha attributed to the smsll-pox and othtor epidemics; but iho groatest portion must be traced fo the war, Thore was an inorensing dobt with o decreas- convoying the impression that the ordor was op- | g population. ho dobt of Trauce, in 1867, was ©1,000,000,000, dividod smong tho population at the rate of &4 per capila, Tha presont dobb of I'ranco is about £4,600,000,000, or §128 per capita. Of courso, this difforenco doos not roprosont tho sum which tho war cost Franco, any moro than our debt at the end of our war roprosented the cost of put- ting down tho robellion, ‘Tho curront rovenues would bavo to bo added in both cases. Franco faloft In a much worse condition, howover, a8 our debt roprosents only about §67.50 per capila, though tho proportionato incroasn of our dobt during tho war was much greator, having grown to its present size from about €3 per capita bofors tho outbrork of the robellion. — THE CONGRESBIONAL INVESTIGATIONS, T'hough tho developmonts of the Orodit Mo- Dbilior investigation nro slow, no day paesos with- out bringing to the surface somo now ovidenco of Conggossionnl corruption, Mr., Durant's tos- timony, on Baturday, furnishes an indieation of gorruption that has nover yat boon oxposod, and wihilch thore seems & determination to suppross. ‘Whilo Durant testified that he had porsonally novor pald a dollar for the influonce of a mom- bor of Congress, ho sworo thal ho had beon ap- proached Dby s mombor, in 1884, who offered to eoll his vote, At anothor timo, four mombors of Congresa camo to filfil, purporting to reprosent somo forty votes, and desirod to negotiate thom. Durant says that ho declined to tront for thom} but it is not probable that, while Mr. Stowart and othor lobbyists had goveral hundrod thou- sand dollars to bo used in this way, the forty » Congreasional votes failed to find purchasors. Whothor they wero paid by Mr. Durant, Mr. Oakes Amos, Mr. Stowart, or Mr, Somebody Else, the money camo out of the Union Pacific job. And no matter whero the monoy camo from, there iano renson to doubt, after Durant’s stato- ment, that thore was at one timo in Washington 8 Congressional Syndicate for thonegotiation and galo of votes, which wore disposed of by tho acoro. Tho ¢ Ninotoen" that at one time sold their influonco and votes in tho Common Council of Chicago in n common pool, must iake a baclk seat, both as to numbors and a8 to systomatio oatoring to bribory. Their businoss was in par- colling ont small offices to tho highest bidders, sud making common prey of such'littie joba as presonted themsolves from timo to timo. Tho sum of £25 or 60 apioce was rogarded by the mombora of this Chicago Credit Mobilior as am- plo componsation. Thoy were but feoblo imi- tators of the Congressional Combination which threw out their nots for bigger fish, and counted the proceeds by tho thousands. Tho Chicago 8yndicate for tho salo of Council votes was ‘broken down. How will it bo with the Congres- sionol Bribe-takera ? Is it truo that the punish-~ ment for bribory must decrease inversely as to tho increaso of the bribe? The roception of Durant's testimony of Satur- day was not of a character to increase tho public confldence in tho investigation. Horetofore, thoro Lws-beon reagon to boliovo that both the Poland Committce and the Wilson Committeo were pushing the investigation for the purpose of ferroting out corruption wherever it might be hidden, The Wilson Commitfeo certainly failod to press Durant for tho names of the Congress- mon who cama to him offering to seil votos, Tho witness said significantly that sometimes he could remombor names, and sometimes ho couldn't. It looks very much ns though this is one of the oceasions on whick his momory would have gerved him if holad boon properly encouraged. Btowart has boon cepumitted for contompt be- cango ho declined to divulgo tho names of cor- tain nowspapor propriotors to whom lo says which hind boon intrusted to him for bribing pur- posos, Durant's names are Congressional namos, and thoro was no effort to ravive his half-willing momory. Was this beoause thero wore actually forty mombers of Congress behind the four whom Durant could namo? Was it bocausio tho number of corrupt Congressmen as so largoe that tho Committos felt it 'to bo dangorous to opon the way to & completo exposuro ? In M'Comb's evidonce beforo tho Poland Com™ mittee, ho rend & lotter from CGeneral Dodge, announcing the dofeat of the Rate bill, and in which ho asked “whethor it did not pay to have friends in Congress.” Ames, too, suld to Dodga: *Has Mr. Colfax's ruling paid the in- ‘Yestmont of stock?” Tho questions cortainly woro not intended to bo meaningless. Itisnow, perhaps, & serious and porplexing question whether thore is a sufliciont mojority of incor- rupt and incorruptiblo men in Congresa to forco o completo exposure of Congressional thioving. Ono thing, howover, is olear and simplo. Let My, Oakes Ames bo oxpelled from thoe Ifouse im- medintely, By his own confession, ho is guilty of having nsed his Congressionnl place for tho single purposo of bribing his colleagues, IHis oxpulsion is demandod by overy iden of justicc and lonor. It will un- doubtedly bo followed Ly & moro complete and convincing exhibit of corruption, and a suror idontification of thoso who are guilty, than the famons *‘ memorandum book " has yot divulged. Will the House dare to oxpel Amos? XLet Mr. Durant be compelled to give tho names of the four Congressmon who cnme to him to nogotinte forty Congrossionnl votes, Nobody doubts that tho exposuro of tho four would oventually lend to the exposuro of the forty. Thoro {s snid to bo honor among, thievos, but theso who have watehed tho testimony in the Crodit Mobilier in- vostigation will hardly concludo that any con- vlcted Congressman will try Lo shiold hia guilty colleagues. TY, Tlio dangor of abad precodont i to bo seon intho casoof tho purchaso of an election by r. J. J, Pattorson as n Bonator of tho United Hlntes from South Corolina, Mr, Patterson's howe is at Miflin, Ponnsylvanin, but he is ready, of courso, o swear that ho was an “inhapitant” of Bouth Carolina at the timo of hin clection. Wo published, & day or two ago, o lottor from HMarrisburg, whoro Pattorson lias spont his timo sinco his eloction, in which wore stated the grounds on which Patterson ex- peots to bo perpotuated in his sont. o tnkea tho ground {kat tho Sonnto can take ne cogni- zenco of tho chargo that the Leglnlnturb was Dribed, until tho Logislaturo itselt certifios that fact to tho Sonato, aud demands an investiga- tion; and that tho Logislaturo of South Caro- Hon, which olocted bLim, will mevor de- claro it wns bribed, mor will it ask tho Honnto to investigato, and, thoroforo, Mr. Patterson fools reasonsbly cortain that his right to his seat will not bo questioned. ‘I'hfa theory of Mr, Patterson (who is sald to bo & protege of Simon Cameron) can be roadily traced to its orlgin, Tn 1860, the Domotrats elected ». mojority of the Legislature of Penn- sylvania, Lut tho muajority was so small that that be gave a part of tho Union Pacific moneya - overy voto was of consoquence, 'Tlio Domocrats made a nomination in caucus, at which every’ momber waa prosont, but, when tho volo was takon for Benntor, throo Demooratic mombory votod for Bimon Camoron, who, recelving nlso the' voto of tho Topublican Sonntors, wns oleated. It did not require long to discover hiow thils thing was done, Camoron, it was undorstood, had bought the votes of thieso membors, and hiad prid for thom, 'Thero was hardly any donial, on thoono band of the purchase, and much loss of tho snlo on the other. Whon the Benato met in specinl soesion, aftor March 4, 1857, Cam- ovon appoared and took his seat. A remonstrancoe was fllad, signod by s largo numbor of tho Dom- ocratic mombers of the Loglslature, alloging tho facts of tho bribery, and asking an inveatigation. It was roforred to the Judiciary Committoo, of which Judgo Butler, of South Carolins, was Choirman, That Committeo roportod mu'mo allogations wore too vagup and indofinite, with-~ out proof, for the Committeo to act upon,—or to .rocommond an lnvnaugnt.lon,—nndwnund upwith o doclaration that whon any membors of a Biato Loginlature were bribed, it was tho duty of the Logislature to Investigate tho fact, and expol tho gullty mombers, and, having dono 80, to cortify tho faots to tho Sennto, . This Inst suggestion was made upon tho as- aumptlon’ that the Logislatures of the States could never bo dograded to such an oxtont that moro party success ns .the result of bri- bory would overcome sll sonso of shamo and indignation. It was truo that the Loglalature of Pennsylvdnia rofused to inyes~ tigate tha bribory of tho Domoorats who voted for Simon Camoron § to have dono o would have rosultod in, having his oloctioh sot nside; whother any of the Ropublicans wero in his pay 18 not known ; but * party auccess " wns accopt- ed by tho Ropublicans, who, with the bribed mombors, wore a majority, as a sufficiont salve for the wounded horor and good nameofn Penusylvanin Logislature, Thoe Sonato ad- Journed & fow days after, and did not moet until Deocembor following, and, in the meantime, the Legielature had dissolved, and thero tho mattor rosted. i It will bo seen that the procedent in Simon Oamoron's cago is now rolieil upon by Patterson, 08 affording him the means of escapo from his open and mnotorious purchase of the majore ity of both branches of the Bouth Car- olinn Legislature. Lvon in 1857, the viows of tho Bonate Committeo wore strongly disputed, and, had the charges againat Cameron boen mado in any definito form, by any responsiblo person, with tender of proof, it is possible the Sennte would havo invostigated. Sinco that time, however, the presumption that Btato Logislatures cannot bo bribed has faded away. Their corruptibility ia too notorious to be any longer denied, and, whon tho nllogation 8Ll bo made by any responsiblo peraon that o Benator has beon corruptly clocted, the Senato cannot now afford to pass it over with contempt orsilonco. Wa knowof no ovent 8o caleulatod to destroy all confidence in tho Senate as a ro- fusal by that bodyto punish promptly, by ox- pulsion, every man whose election can bo traced, diroctly or indiractly, to tho nse of money. Tho action of the Benate in tho caso of Caldwell, Pattorson, and Jonos, will be an advertisoment to tho whole country whether bribery and cor- ruption in the clection of Ronators is to be stopped, or is to becomo the goneral rule in the future. BANK DEFALCATIONS. Now Hampshire is greatly agitated over the racent defaleation of Shute, the Onshier of the Granito State Bank and the Treasurer of the Bavinga Banlk, at Exeter. Tho entire amount abstracted from the Savings Bank was 120,051, and from tho Natlonal Bank £50,000. The un- Iawful nso of tho bank funds had been going on for a grent while. As he was the managing offi- cor of both institutions, when an examination of the one was mado ho would produce tho securi- tios of tho othor to make good tho deficits, and vice versa. Commenting upon this dofalcation, the Boston Herald mokes the vory sonsiblo suggostion that vacations would bo a safeguard sgainst bank freuds, and cleims that thorp has not beon & sin- glo instance of defalcation in any bank or ofice in Boston during tho past twonty-fivo years, whera tho defaultor was not constantly at hia post, working from morning to night, anxions even, to worlk oveninga and Sundays, and nlways' rofusing to tako vacations, In view of this fact, it rccommonds that Danks shall insist upon their omployes taking & vacation onco or twico a yanr. The proposition ia an om- inently prudent ono, aud would uudoubtodly tond to render tho property of depositors moro socuro, 'Thoro is no dofalcation, howover skil- fully conducted, which could ba concenled auy length of time in tho absonco of tho Cashior or Tollor engaged in it. Ho must Lo in the bank constantly, and have uninterrupted possession of the books and accounts, to keep it from tho acrutiny of others. | An hionest substitute in a dishoneat Cashler's place for two or thres wecks would bo certaln to discover the deficit in the bank's accounts, ~ Tho Cashier must be at his post uninteruptedly, and no other hand must propare statemonts or balances but his to make auccess comploto. Dofaleations aro not matters of n knddon impulso or hnaty completion. Thoy aro made very graduslly, and may last through govoral yoars boforo they accumulate so that longor immunity from detection is impossible, All this timo the guilty parly must bo at his post. From the very moment ho commencas, hio must give hia unromitting attention in oov- ering to-day the tracks Lo mado yesterday., ITo must keop tho bank funds moving in & novor- consing stroam, 8o that the holoin the bottom of tho messuro may not bo detoctod. But sup- paso that tho Cashior or otheremploye is informe ed that ho may have a short vacation in winter and summer, and that he must improve it, and that an honeat, capable may is employod to do his work during hisabaanco ; thon thae regularly- recurring brosks in timo satrlp him of tho opportunity to arrange nnd por- fect a schomo of defaleation which oannot VDo inatantly discovered. It isnot always to tho oredit of » man to work 865 days inayoer, especially whon it happens that the vast major- ity of dofanlters ore the men who bLave worked in this mannor, Thore {s anothor eafoguard whioch might also o thrown about bank property, and that is not only to give emplayes who have the handling of funds an opportunity to onjoy vacations, but to fix their salarles ot ratos which will make it pos- siblo for them to afford and enjoy vacation, aud which will pay thom proportionately for the ser- vices thoy rondor, Shuto, the Now Hampshiro dofanlter, who was ono of tho men nover absent from his post, rocelved but $1,200 per annum for his servicos as Oashior of the National Donk, aud £800 a8 ‘Trossurer of tho Aavings Daunk, Thoso salarios wero mot pro- portionate to tho dutiea roguirad of him, aud he was obligod thoroforo to do n privata brokoerago buslness, from which be notted ahout $1,600 anuually.

TEA, Tho Boston Qlobe recontly furnishod somo vory intorosting statistics concorning tho ten trado of this country alnco tho ropeal of the duty, which went into offect July1, 1872, At tho timo of tho ropeal of the duty, sufiicient ton for a yonr's consumption had accumulated in the Custom Housos, but, as o grontor part of this hid beon sold in advanco, tho market was not soriously affactod by taking off tho duty. Tho shipments, howevor, continued about as usual from Ohinn and Japan, 24,307,049 pounda having boon oxported from Jume 1 to Oct. 10, apaiust 20,092,202 in the pro- vious year, so that tho market suffored nnd pricos fell, making the wholesale price of ton about 22 conts lowor, the duty mnking a dif- foronce of 15 couts gold, or sbout 17 conts cur- rency ; the renl decrenso in valuo, thoroforo, bo- ing about 6 conts. San Francisco is tho main distributing point of a vory large quantity of tho ton consumod in the country, The indireot im- portations from Englend havo almost ontirely consed, lkowiso tha ton trade with Canada, by reason of the dutyof 10 por cent placed on Asintio products imported through tho United Btates. Tho 8an TFrancisco trade, howavor, is sufforing, from tho fact that it hus recently been shown that ton can ba brought from China to Now Yorl, and oven to 8t. Louls, at loss cost via tho Suez Canal than ovorland from San Francisco, The differonce in price, Lowevor, ling not yot materially benefited consumers, Tho demand from this country is simply enor- mous. Tho United Statosis n nationof tea- drinkers, Old womon, young women, old men, young men, oven childron, must have their deily nllowance of tho cup which choers but not in~ obriates, which refreshios, and at the same timo bronks down, the norves of our fomalo population quito ns eoffectually as lquors ore breaking down the norves of our male population. The doelcterious offects of tea aro onsily;accounted for. No arti- olo of commorce is adulterated to such an ox- tout. Rocont exporiments woro made in Glas- gow, which showed that, out of twenty-saven samplon of black ten, six wore gonuine, twonty wore more or loss adultorated, and ono con- tainod not a single loef of genuino tes.- Of oight specimons of greon tem, every omo was more or loss painted and adultorated. Mr, Rob- ort Fortune, in his recent work, “The Ton Dig- tricta of China and Indie,” describos the process of tea-coloring. A light biuo powder in prepared by tho Ohinese in tho propor- tion of four parts of gypsum to three parta of Prusalan bluo, and thisia applied to the tens during tho process of romsting. About five minutes boforo tho ten is romoyed from thepans, tho superintendent takes a smell * porcelain spoon, and with it scatters & portion of the coloring mattor over the lenves in onch pan. Tho workmen thep rapidly twn the loaves around with their hands, until all assumo tho propor color. To fourteen and o half pounds of tes aro applied rather more than-sn ouuco of coloring mattor, so that {0 overy bundred pounds of colored groon ton consumed in England or Amorica the consumer drinks more than half o pound of Prussiadl blue and gypsum. The best suthoritics stato that nowadays thor is searcoly & hundred weight of puro green tes imported into England or America. The writor above quoted had curiosity enough to ask tho Chineso whether the ten wonld not bo bettor without the _coloring. Thoy repliod, * Cortainly, it would," and addod that they never drink {the dyed ton thomsolven, but as foroignera proferred to have tho ton look uniform and protty, and as Prussian blue and gypsum woro very choeap, and the forsigners woro willing to pay oxtra prices, thoy accommadated them. Ono of the most curions facts conneoted with ten-drinking was developed by a recent analysis raade in London, showing that tho low-pricod black teas consumed by the ‘pooroer clagses wero gonniuo, Cousidering tho immense amount of ton an- nually imported into thia country, the fact that in o great many familics ton is on the table throo timea n day, and the disoloaures mado concerning coloring and adultorations, it is little wouder that nervous women rbound, for women do the most of tho tes-drinking, In the faco of all these facts, it would bo difiloult to convinco any old or young woman, sitting down to enjoy lher compound of ton-leaves, Prussian blue, and gypsum, that it ia injurious inits offects. It 1s ono of tho curiositios of trado, 08 woll a8 of hluman naturo, that peopla ahould doliboratoly prefor Prussian blua und gypsum In their toa ot the high prica to #0 puro articlo nt a low prioe, and showa tha, poo- plo have so hardoned and depraved thetr tastos, that, like gonflrmed whiskey-driniorw, it is only tho adulterated articlo which gives thom any satiafaction, e e—— — The Yosomito Valloy, 1t will ho remembored that, several yoars ago, tho Goneral Governmont gavo to the State of California o tract of country in tho Siorra Ne- vada Mountains, sovoral miles square, on condi- tion that it should forover bo kopt ns o publio park. Tho grant included tho Yosemito Valloy and tho Mariposa Grovo of Big Trecs, Sequoia @igantes. The velloy is confossedly ono of the groatest wondora in the world, and it was an act worthy of tho nation to devoto it to tho benefit of mankind forover, Thore aro saveral othor groves Sequoia ; but, fortunately, the Mariposa collection ia sufficiontly near the Yosomito to al- low tourists tovisit both on the samo trip. Those troes,—~30 to 096 foot in diametor, 60 to 120 feet withont o limb, and from 250 to 850 foot high—are unquostionably tho monarchs of tho vegotable Lingdom, and dating thoir orlgin baol to tho vory boginning of tho prasent order of things ou our planat, arc scarcely less wonderful than the Yosomito iteolf. Mr, J. M, Hutching was tho firat gontloman of any literary pretontions who visited this valloy, and by his book, with illustrations and monsuremonts of the falls and more prominent orags, flrst made its wonders known fo the world, TForesooing that it must becomo o placo of gront resort, he mottléd iu tho valloy, and pro-ompted & vory valuable portion of it, dircotly in front of the Yosomite Fall. ITo ‘brouglt suit in tho Diatrict Court of the United Btnton to porfeot his titlo s against tho Btato of Californin ; but the docislon was vory prop- orly roudered, that, whilo his claim was por- feetly good against all othor mon, it could not be sustained againat the Govornmont, i it chose tomake any speolal disposition of it for the Lenofit of the publio. This declsion has recent- 1y been conflrmed by the Supreme Court of tho Unitod Btatos, snd, of course, tho State of Cali~ foruln s ontire control of thin Maripons Grove and the Yosemite Valloy for all thno to comoa. ‘Che publio whi sympathize with My, Iutohins, for ho has shown gront energy and onterprise In opening troila and roads to aud through tho valloy, in oxploring 1tin nll diroctions, andmn entortaluing tho pooplo after they got thero. Truo, ho was paid for this Inst sorvico ; but who, in tho oarly history of tho valloy, would or could Linvo ontertnined tho peoplo if he ind not ? Tho Goneral Govornmont or tho Btato of California cau woll afford to roward him lborally for his norviees, and it is to bo hoped thoy will do it. Mr. Galon Clarke, ono of the best mon on the Pacifio Connt, who knows and lovos overy valloy and snow-clad peak in the Blerra Novada Mouu- talus for n hundred miles, las beon putin oharge of this park by tho Stato of California. Tho intorent of the publlo aro ontlraly safe in hie hands, Roads have been, or soon will bo, opoued, 8o that conchios can bo driven dircetly into the valloy; but, though tho Lorsebacl- rido of 40 milox by trail was fatigulug, one-half of the romaucoof a visit to tho Yosomite will thua bo dostroged. Wo have onjoyed that bri- dlo-path ride; and, if tho world now inslats on rlding to tho valley in o conch and four, wo, of courao, shail not objeat. Obituary. MATTUEW F.
