‘THUMSDAY, APREL 23, 1868.
Preaching and Practice.—The
record of the Democratic party has been
short in this State, but very inconsistent with ite professions upon all pdints
“where it affirmed positive prineiples,—
On all national questions the position
of the Democtacy was only negative, so
that it matters little what the party
_ might doin thisrespect, the charge
~ of inconsistency could not be sustained.
Its only creed was opposition to the
* Congressional plan without offering any
form and their stumpers took a decided
stand. They pretended to be the espeécial friend of the laborer, secured the
+ votes of -the Hight Hour League, and_., pretended in their legislation to be the’
especial friends of the Hight Hour Law.
How have they treated this law: in
practice? The State. Capital Commis.
sioners, consisting of Haight, and other
Democrats, have established tle folowing rule for those who are er‘ployed upon the Capital building :.
_ . “That on and after the 20th of April,
1868, until further notice, the wages of
all men employed upon the State Capi-tal building shall be oo asi ‘by the
hour, as allows: Men whose wages are
now $5 per day shall have the same ¢stimated at 50 cents per hour; those
‘whose wages are now $3 per day shall
have the same estimated. 30 cents per
hour. and all others in the same pro~ portion,”
This is a dead centre shot ‘at the
Eight Hour law, and no doubt it is from
the little Democratic pop-gun who occa“pies the Gubernatorial chair. It either
compels the men to work ten hours per
day or have their wages cut down.—
‘This is the way that Democrats fulfil
their pledge made to working men.—
The Governor signs 4, bill drawn in accordance with their wishes, and then
signs an order to overthrow the law
—--~--over Which his party-friends have made*
80 much capital.” Thisis the way Democrats redeem their pledges: It remains
to bé seen whether working men are
such fools as to be duped by such hollow
“artifices as the Democrats resorted to
in the last campaign. There is no instance on record where a political party
shown such-an utter disregard-for
ae ges made to people as the Democ.

A Boston correspondent says that
Dickens speaks. very good. English—
. better, indeed, than. even the majority
of Bostonians have in use.
Hiarity is noticed; in uttering such
words as occasion, opposition, he makes
the ‘o’ long, an offence against orthoepy
that few educated Americans oe be
guilty of. Mr. Dickens realized $20
_ from the four readings he gave at pe
“Hub.”

Tue London Spectator considers Geo.
Francis Train a remarkably costly
Train at his own valuation. It says:
“If two days are worth £100,000.to Mr,
~~ Train, a year is £36,000,000 to him, and
all the insurance offices in: the world
would never undertake to insure jointly
“Mr. Train’s invaluable life for what it
is really worth, and 25 years of Mr,
Train would more than extinguish the
national debt. The imagination reels
before Mr. Train’s sublime pecuniary
measure of his own importance,
THE city of Los Angeles is six miles
square, and is built upon a level plain,

~~ and presents the appearance of a vast

semi-tropical productions successfully
grow and ripen. There are various
kinds of fruit in their most luscious
stages of maturity at all times of the
year, while the perfume of myriads af
plants and flowers diffuses itself through
the air alike in Spring, Summer, Auan and Winter.

Hon. Bensaow F, Wapx.—A brief
may be appropriate at this time, when.
within a few days, the Executive chair:
He was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1800. ‘His early manhood
was a laborious one. His father was
poor, and young Wade became familiar
with the spade and wheelbarrow in the
digging of the ErieCanal. In 1826 he
began the study of law, in Ohio, with
Elisha W hittlesey, and-in1828 was admitted to the bar in Ashtabula county,
where he has ever since resided. In?
1835 he was elected prosecuting attorney
of that county, and in 1837 he was returned to the Senate of Obio, to which
body he was twice re-elected,
chosen by the, Legislature Presiding Judge of the Third
Judicial District of the State, and in
1851, while holding Court at Akron, he
was elected a member. of the United
States Senate, to which body he was’
again returned in 1857. In the Senate,
Mr. Wade was conspicuous as a. leader
of the anti-slavery Whigs-and of the
Republicans.In 1862 he voted with only five other
Senators to repeal the Fugitive Slave
Law ; he also voted and spoke against
Mr, Doaglass’ bill to abrogate the Missouri Compromise ; against the Lecompton‘Constitution for Kansas, in 1858 ;
against Mr, Slidell’s bill appropriating
$30,000,900 for the acquisition-of ‘Cuba,
and against all schemes of compromise
between North and South propounded
after Mr. Lincoln’s election in 1860,
He advocated the Homestead bill of
1862, the Agricultural College bill, and
the Pacific Railroad bill, He has steadily opposed the increase of the standing
army, and has hever been partial: tLe
West Point Militar y Academy. During
the rebellion Mr, Wade was fora vigorous prosecution of the war and rigorous
treatment of rebels. On the opening of
the Thirty-sevyénth Congress he became
Chairman of the Joint Committee on
the Condutt of the War, appointed by
the two Houses, and took an active part
in urging the enactment of a law to
confiscate the property of leading rebels
and emancipate their slaves.
He spoke and voted for the bill making
treasury notes a legal tender, and for
the bills abolishing slavery and the
black laws in the District of Columbia.
As Chairman of the—Territorial Com-1.
mittee he reported a bill, in 1862, abolishing slaveryin all the ‘Territories of
the Government, prohibiting it in
any that might thetvalter be acquired.

HARD ON APPRENTICES.—Many ap-prentices-have been discharged in San‘
Francisco on account of a provision of
the Eight Hour Law which prohibits
employers from working them longer
than eight hours. ‘The law is particularly strict in régard to apprentices ;
not even allowing them or their guardians to make an agreement to work for
a longer time,
