Transcript, rhavé-been Offered in’ the Legislature
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 22d, 1868.
THE MINING ScHoo1.—Since the inoy
gress for the establishment of a schoo]
of mines, the matter has been generally
discussed and the proposition heartily
approved. -A memorial has been inintroduced into the Legislature, the object of which~is to induce Congress to
make certain amendments to the bill.—
The bill propeses to locate the school
upon the line of the Pacific Railroad.—
aie (This ‘would shut out many prosperous
. . and guitable mining towns which
though convenient to the railroad are
not touched by it. This is a ‘goad
suggestion. “The “question of locality
__. should be left open for settlement hereafter. The territory along the line of
the railroad is hardly settled yet. New
of trayel be opened as. the road is extended. A site. now"apparently most
“ favorable for the location of the-col* lege may, in a short time, be changed
toa waystation. i
i ~ Phere are also large and permanent
mining towns which possess all the
advantage necessary for the location of
such a school, Where students can
observe the practical working of mines
_.,___ While they study the theory of mining,
“and sach towns may-not be-upon ‘the
~ line of the railroad. But the other
propositions made in the proposed inemorial should not be adopted by the
Legislature. One .of. the suggestions
is, that a part of the fund designed for
the mining college be set apart for the
School of agriculture and mechanic
arts. The latter is ‘a local institution,
and it is designed to make the mining
school ainational institution, and noneof the funds designed for it should be
diverted for any purpose. 'To-esteblistr
__ such a school, which shall be equal to
the best institutions of the kind in Ku—
rope should be the object, and all the
means as well as the ability at the command of the nation shouldbe direeted
to this end. If the national school of
mining is to be second to any other inproject. better be abandoned at the outset, and in orderto make —itwhat it
: should be, the government will require
«every means available.’ The laudable
«= object should not be defeated by dividing either energy or-money,—Let the
State be satisfied with the liberal donation of lands already.made by the na—
tion, and building up her local institu
general government.

A Sticut War CLoup.—We have
news that Congress is aroused by the
disregard of the rights of citizens of the
United States as displayed by England
in arresting Fenians, and it is stated
that the release of George Francis Train’
~—and others will be demanded by the
State Department. A resolution has
been offered in the House directing the
President to demand an explanation for
the execution of O’Brien, and also declaring that such interference with the
rights of American citizens as have
been heretofore practiced, will be: considered cause forwar.

{+ * ASKING DAMAGES.—One or more bills
providing for the payment of damages
to the publishers whose presses were destroyed in San Francisco, shortly after
the assassination of President Lincoln.
The payment of such claims from the
‘State. Treasury would be an outrage
upon'the people, and we hope that the
Senate will defeat_all+ such claims.
“Even if the justice of the demands be
admifed, ‘the parties havé no claim?
whatever upon the State. If they are
entitled to damages, let them establish
their rights by suit against the municipal authorities of San Francisco, and
not endeavor, through the agency of
their friends in the Legislature, to steal
the amount from the State Treasury .
Weare confident that even. Deiocrats
-will ind no'warrant forithe payment‘of
such claims, where the way of redress
is so plain as inthiscase. Ifthe parties
were damaged, it was in consequence
-of. the-negleet of the San Franeisco authorities to protect their property—the
remedy is by a suit against the corporation, and it would be robbery to take
it from the State Treasury.

robbers, .and Constable Allison made
the arrest of about ten of the almond—

strong, the Justice discharged the

THE OLDESTAND BEstT.—The Spring“LITTELL’S. Livine AGE “decidedly the
best magazine of its class published: in
the United States, if-not in the world.”
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher says,
“Were I, in view of all the competitors
now in the field to choose, I should un—
-doubtedly choose the Living Age. “There
is notin any library that 1 know of, so
much instructive and éntertaining reading inthe same number of volumes.”
And it is similarly endersed by the best
writers and thinkers of the day.
‘It has beenpiiDlished for.more than
twenty years, and is now enlarged, It
is issued every Saturday, giving fiftyKyo numbers and> considerably over
THREE THOUSAND double column octavo
pages of readinge/ matter, yearly, all,
free of postage, for the low price of $8.

It Contains the, best Reviews; Criticisms, Stories, Poetry ; Literary, Scientific, Biographical, Historical, and-Po=
litical Information,—from the whole
-bedy of English Periodical Literature,
—making 4 vols.°a year, of immediate
interest, and solid, permanent value.
The frequency of its publication en-+
ables its conductors to present a complete resume of the best literature of the
day, in all its freshness-and variety,
combining the useful and instructive
manner not attempted by any other
periodical of itsclass. The lume Journal of New York, says: :
' “Its standard of selections is a. high
one ; and its contents are “not only of
interest at the present moment, but
possess an enduring value. Its representation of the foreign field-of periodical literature is ample and ¢omprehensive; and it combines the tasteful and
-erudite,the romantic and practical, the
social and scholarly, the grave and gay,
with a skill which is nowhere surpassed,
and which is admirably suited to please
the cultivated reader and that, “long
distinguished as a pionecrin the repub.
lication of the choicest foreign periodi-—
-cal literature, it-still helds-the-forem
rank among works of itsclass.”. >
In the multiplicity of magazines, old
and new, that are claiming attention,
we would say to our readers, with the
Troy (N. Y.) Daily: Times of the 5th
inst., that “those who wish to obtain a
whole library of varied and* most valuable reading, will do it most completely and economically by subscribing for’
‘Little’s-Living Age.”
