1868,
CEREALS AGAINST GoLD.—The heavy
shipments of wheat from California during the past year, says the Bulletin,’
coupled with the wheat product of Australia and New Zealand, attracts considerable attention at the East. Much
‘astonishment is expressed that coun—
tries hitherto thought to be almost ex—
clusively devoted to mining for the
precious metals should already have
as -to-be able to compete with older and.
_ bread markets of the world.” More’ as—
tonishmentavill be* caused by the full
. —-ReovaL-LIt will be remembered,
says the Record, that Governor Low
appointed Stephen Venard an aid -de
camp, with the rank of Lieutenant Col*
‘. onel, for personal bravery, in capturing
three stage robbers in Nevada county.
Among"the late appointments of Gov,
Haight, we fing that of “C, W. Crocker,
vice Stéve~-Venard, removed.” We
have never heard the politics of the
robbers put out of the way so suddenly
by their encounter with Venard, but
the inference is left by this removal that
the Democracy lost three voters by that
event and that the Governor intends to
retaliate; tosome extent,uporn the brave
officer for diminishing his vote.
Gov. Haight has offered a feward of
$200 for the arrest and delivery into
custody of the Sheriff of El Dorado

Dickinson’s Quadrille Class will meet at
National Hall, on Wednesday evening,
at 8 o'clock. ‘These meetings partake
more of the nature of a pleasant social

statement of the wheat product.and export of California for 1867, the one ex—
ceeding the value of the gold product
and the other employing a fleet of 223
ships and reaching a value of over $16,000,000. The New York Herald may
well predict this State will “emancipate
herself from the market control of the
Western States and New York shipThe anticipation of the same paper
that the products of gold will diminish
with “the diversion of labor to fixed
employments,” is not so well founded.
The gold product of California has indeed fallen from $50,000,000 to. $25,000,00 per annum ; but this is due chiefty
to the comparative exhaustion. of the
placer mines, and to the distribution of,
our mining population over new gold
fields in‘adjoining Territories. All who
are familiar with the present condition
and tendencies of the mining interest

Another bearing of the relation of

REFORM GOES 9N.—The Democrats
the late election, now that they have
got into office are redeeming their
pledges,in a‘horn. This is the way they
do it in San Francisco. The city Treasurer is endeavoring to get an increase’
of salary. The Assessor wants more
clerks than his predecessor—as does the
-Recorder, and the Sheriff wants three
more porters than were employed under
the last administration. In every department of local and State government the Democrats are endeavoring
tomake~more-roomfor-hungry-piace
hunters, and have entirely forgotten
their pledges of reform made to the people.
WILL REsist.—A late dispatch states
that President’ Johnson declared the
‘Tenure of Office Law and the late reconstruction bill encroachments upon
his constitutional authority which he
will resist with all the power at his
command, With Grant against him,
Stanton in the War Department, and
Congress controlling the purse strings,
“all the power at his command” will
not help him. ;
