Deacons Hines sys ‘tem of agriculture or rather the want of system in the cultivation of land in Cal. ifornia is fast exhausting the land and ‘continued we will soon have hundreds heres a6 worthless as the ‘worn out . cott id tobacco fields of the South. Ibis weJl known that certain constituents of the ‘foil, are required for the product of grain, and that after years ‘of cultivation in the sume .crop these constituents are exhausted and the crops ‘ begin to decline, This has been the State. Year after year, wheat, barley and oats are planted, and already-year ~by year the yield is decreasing in proportion to the labor employed. In some "‘Jooulities the yield has fallen off nearly one half. Tenor fifteen years more of such cultivation will render these lands utterly worthless for _agricultaral pur: poses, unless there is a change in the systemof working them. In the most valuable farming regions ofthe State cereals have been cultiva_ ted until the land is overrun with weeds and mustard, In the San Jose valley for miles the country is #0 densely cov~~ @red with mustard that the grain crops have greatly decreased aad the expense and troable of clearing it has greatly increased. ~ to the production of some crop which requires thorough cultivation, and at “s the same time will giye the land an op_ portunity to regain those qualities necessary.to the prodaction of grain.— We are of opinion that no better product can be found than the sugar beet, Tt possesses both these. advantages, and in addition will be profitable. Mille for the purpose of manufacturing raw sugar might be built by joint stock _ Companies, by the farmers, if, capital } ‘Cannot be secured for the purpose in any othet way. By such a system of agriculture, and the cultivation of grain in alternate years, the grain yield per gore will again be as large as in the ~ first years of California farming. An Onznous Tax ABOLISHED.—By lected upon. bullion is repealed.. Such _@ tax never ought to have been levied. There is no more reason in taxing the gold yield than there is in taxing a per cent. upon the valuation of the lead, ~~ © @opper or coal taken from the mines, ~ and the miners will be pleased to know _ that Congress has done them an act of justice by abolishing this onerous tax. The tax it is true was small, being only one fourth of one per cent., but the principle involved is a bad one, and inThe amount of tax came directly out of the producer, who is also compelled to pay taxes upon his income. The tax was deducted at the counter or at the Mint from the value ofthe gold, and as a large proportion of our miners are only making a liVing it came heavily up! om them, The law abolishing the tax = into effect on the 1st of April, and the Superintendent of the Mint.in San Francisco, has ‘issued instractions to a Serena ‘CANDIDATES.—As the time fer a nomination of a candi4 date for Congress draws near, says the ' Record, the particular friends of the va“rious candidates are busily engaged : in urging the claims .of their particular. friends, In this District,A. A, Sargent, J. @. McCallum; 8. \v. Brockway, C. A. Tattle, and W. Higby, (present incumdent) are positive. and prominent candidates, while in the same connection the names of Belden and Roberts, of -’ Nevada, and Heacock and Booth of Sac-Famento, are spoken of as probable can didates.

He held that it was proved that the President removed ate, without its consent, and in violation of the Constitution, his oath of office,and the Tenure of Office Law. He aleo stated that the President -violated the same law in the appointment of Thomas, Secretary of War ad interim, when no vacancy exisved, and when the Senate of the United States was in session, without the advice or consent of that body, He says, “Never before, in the history of free government, -has there been so base, 80 unjustifiable an attempt on the part of any Executive, whether Emperor, King. or President, department of Government.” He is very severe upon Johnson, and seems tobe confident that.the Senate will sustain the charges. Indeed, the whole paipate door amammenl that he ean not be acquitted. : SponTaNEous ComsusTion 1m.

Governor: Woods, of Oregon, who has been “stumping” East, is also epoken of as a candidate.
