havea policy to recommend—none to
_enforce against the will of the people.
Laws are to govern all alike; those opposed to, as well as those who favor
them. I know no method to sucure the
repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.
The country having just emerged
from a great rebellion, many questions
will come before it for settlement in the
next four years which preceding administrations never had to deal with. In
meeting this, it is desirable that they
should be approached calmly, without
prejudice, or State or sectional pride,
remembering that the greatest good to
tee greatest. number is the object te be
attained. ;
This requires security of person,property, freedom of religious and political
opinions in every part of our common
country, without regard to locality or
prejudice. Laws to secure these will

ported, it is certainly one of the most
profitable of materials to cultivate,
T'wo crops a year of only two thousand
pounds per acre, at six cents per pound,
would yield $240 an acre, or more than
seven times as much as an acre of
wheat. The great want of this State is
some product which may be cultivated
profitably, besides grain, and in large
quantities, The fact that oar wheat
lands, in the valleys, are being vapidly
* ‘worn out, is demonstrated by the decrease in the yield per acre, and if the
present system of farming is carried
on for twenty years longer, what were
the best farming lands of ten yeurs
ago will become as worthless as the
wora out fieldsof Virginia, It-is time
our agricultural societies were directing
attention to this matter,
THE inauguration of President Grant
was honored in San Francisco by the
discharge of rockets, bombs and Chinese crackers in different parts of the
city ; flags and streamers were flying
from the public and private buildings ;
vessels were gaily dressed with flags of
all nations, and a salute was fired from
Clay street wharf in the afternoon.

the government indebtedness should be
paid in gold, unless otherwise expressed
and stipulated in the contract, Let it
be understood that no repudiator of one
Aarthing of our public debt, will be
trusted in a public place ; and it will go
far towards strengthening a credit
which ought to be the best in the world,
and-will ultimately enable us to replace
the debt with bonds bearing less interest than we now pay.
To this should be added a faithful
collection of the revenue, a strict ac-—
countability to the treasury for every
dollar collected, and thejgreatest practical retrenchmént in expenditure in
every department of the Government.
When we compare the paying capacity
of the country now, with ten States
‘Stil in poverty from the effects of War,
but soon to emerge, I trust, into greater
prosperity than ever betore, with its
paying capacity twenty-five years ago,
and calculate what it probably will be
twenty-five years hence, who can doubt
the feasibility of paying every dollar
then with nivre ease than we now pay
for useless luxuries. Why, it looks us
though Providence has bestowed upon
us a strong box of the precious metals
locked up in the stetile mountains of
the far West, which we are now torging the key to unlock and meet the
very-contingency that is now upon us.
Ultimately it may be necessary that

The question-of suffrage-is-one which
is likely to agitate the public so long as

are excluded from its privilege in any

that this question should be’ settled
now. I entertain the hope and express
the-desire it may be by the: ratification
of the fifteenth Article or the amendment to the Constitution.
In conclusion, I ask patience and forbearance one toward another throughout the land, and a determined effort on
the part of every citizen to do his share
towards cementing a happy Union, and
I ask the prayers of the Nation to Almighty God im behalf of this consummation. :

asks the San Francisee Herald ; and it
alleges that the tule Jands of California
are peculiarly adapted thereto. Thatpaper says : a
Our imports of this staple of daily
consumption for 1868 amounted to 25,

labor will be seeking! for employment,
at such remuneration-as may be offered.
What better channel to turn it into,
than that of reclaiming these extensive
marshes along the borders of the two
great rivers of the State, now so worthless ; but which, under proper management, combined with capital, will -become the great fountains of vast wealth

WILD Cat.—A White Pine sorrespondent of the Reese River Reveille
speaks in this manner of the most of
the mining claims thus far ineorporated
in that district :
This district needs no praise—it
shows for itself. But while that is the
fact the surest way to retard its devel—
opment andprosperity isto thrust
spurious claims on the market by incorporating with a nominal capital of mil:lions, and selling stock that is not worth
the paper it is written on, for anything
that can be got. And here we promise
you that when we hear of any: large
company being incorporated to work
mines in this district we will visit their
mines and report on them. In promising to do this you will remeinber that
we do not forget-the fact that most of
the corporations which are already
formed, have neither mines or progpécts
of any, and consequently cap~hot be
visited. . ae
