The Daily Bravscipt, _ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. 4869. On eee —_ THURSDAY, MARCH 4, ~ “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. : men attended the Sunday School at San Jose, which was taught by about one hundred persons, The building in which the school was kept, was recently ‘destroyed hy fire, supposed ‘to be the work of an incendiary. i a 9. et oat erie Sag ry hes Soup. —An exchan a Wag stepped int ‘loca te it), an: says: Recently a saloon (wg won't er taking a view of the knot of sitters gathered around the stove, Without speaking to any of them began to count heads audibly, pointing S. first to himself and to each expectant bummer. --He counted one, two, three, four, five, “Bar keeper, six glasses of beer,” _ Instantly ten eyes gleamed. with expectancy ; five necks straight. ened ; five pair of feet were drawn together fer a raise ;five mouths were ba cleared of tobacco ; five coat sleeves bacco stained lips, involuntarily smacking with sweet anticipation. Six glasses of lager were ranged in a row on the bar, when, the joker without delgniig a glance at the thirsty objects of his enumeration proceeded to stow away, the six glasses of “hop water” in shor; order, to the very evident disgust and disappointment of said “enumerate,” who each heaved a sigh of regret, and muttered ruefully, “sold.” drawn across five pair of cay am toig 8 * 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 vote on the Crawford County System 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, color, or previous condition of servitude, THE San Francisco dry goods clerks are making a vigorous movement on their employers to close business at 7 o’clock in the evening. They ure sus— tained by the powerful eight-hour organization, and are likely to succeed. 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 ago, he endeavored to create a sensation: by offering prizes for the best poems and stories. _Lewis Gaylord Clark was chairman of the committee to decide . , these things, and awarded the $50 to a Mr. Henry W.
