a . iogtaphical sketeli of this gentleman ‘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. “racy of California. coe io 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.” seas 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, with a slight decline towards the south. The population at present is about 7,000 and is rapidly increasing, ~'The ~ eaty is favored by miles of vineyards, ~~ and presents the appearance of a vast * collection of gardens, in which all the . 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. ny ‘Vinarxa. paper S iadles that Edward Sperry, of Botetourt county, has the pleasure of seeing and conversother. But in State matters their plat-. In. ‘in-the ptblic expenditures, One pecu} Tn See exon wore nina: Nigree 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. Te has éonstantly insisted on economy id in holding officials to a strict acepuntability. 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, (a9"A soldier arrested some weeks since as a deserter from the First United States Cavalry is said to have been identified as the perpetrator of four murders. in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan, whither he is to be sent for trial.: He is in close confinement at Fort Point at present, a Qu Tue Russian .
