AGRICULTUREL VS. GOLD DIaGINa. The reason of this contrast lies In tho fact that in the one place the pioneers speculated wildly in ex- travagant scarching for gold which never existed; in the other they set quictly to. work and dug from the soil the riches which may be found tn any place. These were siow but sure; those let their vaulting ambition o'erleap itself, Like thonsands of others who did notcome so far from home to cast their fortune on the baxard of ta dis, they not only be came ruined themselves, bat blighted nll and every thing within their reach, walle thelr more sensit brethren rested content with the couds the g« gave, aud withont auy anusnal effort found them selves after a while masters ot the wealth for which the othors had risked and ioet so much.

All this notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Graham had ationded the trial of Brennan and How ard, both of whom were convicted, the former being sont to State Prison for fifteen years, and the latter to only five years, But the five years man, owing to the overflow of mercy, or something else in the breast of tt noble Jndge who sentenced him, backed up by Assistant District Attorney Hutehings's philanthropy, was kopt in tho ‘Tonibs a week—just long enough to enable the merciful young Jadge and the philanthropic young man who looks after the in- teresta of the people to write a doleful request to Governor Hoffman, urgently begging of him to par. don the Fourth Ward politician's pal, The Governor could not realst the appeato of entlemen who are ald $8,000 and $5,000 per annum, and so the con vieted robber was pardoned after he had been incar. cernted two weeks, Mr. Graham said that numbers of Reddy's friends, rough-looking, black-moustached desperatocs, the pests and sconrges of this community, have thrust their Olthy carcanses into his ealoon, interceding for their chief, ‘They have had recourse to all devices. ‘They have made all-tempting promisos, they have threatened his life, After all this, Varley's wife, accompanied by five little ones, visited him, Graham was out, Hs wife, however, was at home, and had to tisten to the broken-hearted wif ap peal, Mr, Graham denies in fofo that anybody has offered him a bribe of either $3,000 oF $5,000 not to appear against Reddy, and says: “Being out of so moch moncy, of course, I would like to get some of Mt back; but the citizens of New York and elso: where neodn’t bo afraid that I won't appear, Bribes will be of no avall with mo now, for If I live Pl be a witness against him, You may depend upon me, sir.
