~ “THe New ApMINIsTRATION.—To~
day, under. Grant, the first adntinistra—
: i has beenimangurated with
the entire nation under one flag since
Buchanan resigned his seat, will take .
the reins‘of government at Washington.
~ The Demicératic party gave up the gov—
ernment at the end of Buchanan’s term,
-and-left a-war to be settled by its successor. At the second inauguration of
Lincoln the rebellion was in its last
throes, and in its desperation his life
was taken, During the late adminis’ tration, the old contest, lost to the rebels in the field, has been fought over
at the ballot box, and the cause of lib@rty, justice and Union has triumphed
gloriously. The principles for which
our armies fought have been established
and incorporated in the fundamental
law of the lund, and it is a matter of
congratulation that the leader to whom
the country owes so much, will to-day
be invested with authority belonging
to the highest office i in the gift of the
nation.
Never was there a timein the history
‘of the country when the opportunities
for reformation in the several departments of government was so great, and
__ the utterances, of Grant so far have giv“en the strongest hope and greatest et en.
nation. Tho President and Vice President elect have time and again de-.
. lared themselves in favor of the most
rigid economy in the administration of
__. government, and. every sentiment—ut—
_tebed in regard to the differences, has
been in favor of the éstablishment of
harmony and peace throughout the
land,
The silence of Grant and the fact
that he always clearly and fully expressed his opinions at the proper time,
will leadthe people to look for his inaugural and his first message with the
greatest interest, and we confidently
expect that his State papers will be
worthy of the name. He has now tlie
full confidence of the entire nation, and
we fully believe that his administration
will be one of the ablest the nation has
known, .
Coat LANDS IN THE UNITED STATES,
In 1845, our coal area was stated at
133,000 square miles. It is now known
to be over 200,000 square miles. ‘Total
outside the United States is 26,005
square miles. By this, we see that our
eoa] area is more than eight times that
of all the known world combined. Of
the American coal fields the Pennsylvania anthracite, though one of the smallest in area, isnow the most copious in
production, and the most available to
the commercial and industrial interests.
ofthe nation. This production averages 20,660 tons per square mile, and
equalled the average of the most productive British coal field in 1864. Our
mining system, however, is not. carried
on with the close economy of the British mines, With us thd amount wasted
is equal to that sold.At Jeast—onethird more of the. coal extracted fron
the mines might be made available in
the market, with a more economical
method, The present production from
the Pennsylvania anthracite coal region
is about 10,000,000,000 tons per annum
representing a ‘commercial value of
about $30,000,000.
-HORRIBLE MuURDER.—Recently, a
man living in Hannibal, Missouri, took
his little daughter, about eight years
old, and drew a knife across her stumach and bowels, causing her instant
death. When arrested by the Marshal
of Hannibal, he was asked why he kill_od his child. He replied _by asking,
IT was 8 offering her up to Christ.” He
__killed his pet dog early in the morning,
and it is believed ho is insane.
Ose hundred and forty-four China. :

Tue CaMPHor TREE.—An eminent
botanist: says this valuable tree can be:
as easily cultivated in the United States
as-elsewhere. It is quite as—-hardy —in
its habits as any of our apple trees,
There is no reason why it should not
succeed well wherever the apple tree
will grow. It is indigenous to all parts
of China, Japan and Chinese Tartary ;.
but it is found in the greatest abundance along the eastern coast of China,
where it grows in dense forests, the
trunks attaining a size equal to any of
our North American forest trees. The
camphor gum of commerce does not in
}any tase exude from the tree, but is obtained ftom the leaves, twigs, and
smaller roots by distillation. The tree
itself is so tenacious of life that to kill
it is a semi-impossibility, and there
would be no difficulty in introducing
the plants here.
Exections.—The Municipal election,
in Oakland, on Monday, was very hotly
contested. The Democrats had no ticket
in the field, and the questions involved
were merely of a local character. The
tickets were headed respectively by
John B. Felton and Alexander Campbell, for Muyor, the former being the
regular nominees, Felton was elected
by about two hundred majority.
The Sacramento Union Primary on
Tuesday, resulted in the selection of
delegates favorable to Swift for Trustee.
Twelve hundred votes were polled, the

standing 885 in favor to 315 against.
KANSAS was the first and Nevada the
second State in the nation to ratify the
new amendment ‘to the Constitution
declaring that the right of any citizen
of the United States to vote shall not
be denied or abridged by the United
States or any State on accdunt of race,

THE San Francisco dry goods clerks

Victor Hugo gave his annual
Christmas fete tohis “poor children” at
Hauteville House, Guernsey, on Christmas Eve. He concluded his address to
those present as follows: “Whatever
may be the sorrows of life, I shall not
murmuratthem if lam permitted to
realize the two highest objects of ambition that a man can aim at. These objects are, to be a slave—to be a servant;
to be the slave of conscience—to be the
servant of the poor.”
WueEn Horace Greeley started the
New Yorker in New York, some years

by offering prizes for the best poems and
