__ Tue Forpue Prosrecrs.—The United States has a bright prospect for the ature: The nation has been_tried in crucible of civil war and came out ‘strengthened and purified.

Ex-Goyernor Miller, of Minnesota, will also soon arrive and take ap his residence in California are three hundred religRational finances and other matters de; . three and five hundred revolvers are Fs ten and wellarranged argument in fo. vor of the position taken by the writer : Mr. Editor :—I see by the TranSCRIPT that you invite discussion of the question whether hope, in the sentence “I hope to find the study interesting,” is transitive or intransitive. I contended, in opposition to the rest of the school that it was intransitive. I will now briefly give’ my authorities : 1, All grammars insist that a transi. plete its meaning ; in other words the supposed action must act on an object, but the act:on of hoping is confined to the person who hopes. 2. Quackenbos says that an intransitive verb is one that affirms a’ state or an action not exerted on any person or thing. Now when you. hepe you express a state of the mind, which does not act on any person or thing, or otherwise affect an object. pie; are ~ But aside from this, we are not considering the question whether it may ‘not be transitive sometimes,bat whetlter it is not intrafisitive in this sentence. Ballion’s Corrections on~ English grammar, says thet a verb is not transitive unless it will admit of a personal pronoun after it. It will be seen that the introduction of a, pronoun after hope will destroy the sentence and be inconsistent with the infinitive. Again; Ballion says an: intransitive verb does not govern the objective case, and hope obviously does not govern the objective casein this sentence. He gives another rule: No intransitive verb admits of a passive vuice. Study is not hoped, arid consequently in the passive voice. Bullion says that a transitive verb in the active voice governs the objective case. Study isin the objective case and is not governed by hope. I object to some of the proofs given as to the character of this verb. The first given was from Webster: Hope; to desire with expectation. v.t. Somehow they failed to see the or v. i, For the second proof they give Green . asauthority and ask the question: The ox eats. Eats what? Refer to Brown’s grammar of grammars,and you will sce this sentence: Who rejoice to do evil. Rejoice what ? 3. They say the Rhetoric class is on their side.’ Opinions aré very well, but they are not proofs. The infinitive isan adverbial element and merely limits hope. 1 will give no ! more proofs at present. E.C.8. ARMS FuR THE SoutH.—Several individuals are now in New York envaged in purchasing and shipping arms to the Southern Sta‘es, One of theim is from Texas, another from Georgia, two are from South Carolina, and two or three others are from Alabama, Louis iana, and Tennessee, ‘The articles they are purchasing are. mainly. revolvers and repeating or breech-loading’ rifles , all the models of muzzle loading weapons are discarded, and the purchasers are understood to prefer short barrels to long ones. Two thousand revolvers were sent South in one consignment three weeks ago, and shipments of two, unpleasantly frequent. The Charléston steamer took a dozen: cases of hardware, which was really a lot of breechloading rifles,destined for private parties in that city. One dealer in _firearms admits that he has more orders than hecan fill for the present, but pro. fesses not to know where the weapons he ‘sells are going. All these facts point rather strikingly to a very dis. turbed condigion of affairs in the South. So says the New York Sun. EaRTAQuakk CoMMITT&E.—The San Franciscans have uppointed an _earthquake investigating committee to make experiments in building earthquake proot buikdings. ‘Lhey propose to raise $20,000: for the purpose. ~~.

Rivgs Pollard, Richmond editor, was shot dead by u man named Grant, f ¥ 4g oa’ § in the United States. tive vérb must have an object to com. ‘county will receive $26,000 from thé States Senate after the 4th day day of iforniaand New Jersey. Th Pennsylvania Buckalew goes out;in Indiana Hendricks, in Tennessee Patterson, in Wis consin Doolittle, in Ccnnecticut Dixon. Delaware,Maryland and Kentacky have each two Democratic Senators. . All the Senators from the reconstructed States are classed as Radicals, including the two from Tennessee. If they do not digappoint expectation, the political character.of the Senate will be thus: Republicans, 48; Democrats, 10; Vire ginia, Texas and Mississippi being unrepresented as yet. In the Impeachment Court the Senate stood : Republicans, 43; Democrats, 14. Sentinel atin CoERCION.—General Howard tells a good story ofa planter who assembled 4il his hands inthe Spring and told them they must vote the Demoerstie ticket or he would not employ them.— The darkies waited until the cotton was whitening, and then-catted on him and told him he mast vote the Radical tick= et or they would leave in a bedy. And he did it. . . Sa bee: One sericulturist in Los Angeles county says the Bec, writes that next year that county will produce 9,000,000° worms, which ought to give that many cocoons: and a3 the State will pay $300 for every 1,000 raised, next year Los Angeles State for this industry. SMALL Pox.—Three cases of small pox were reported at Benicia on Monday last. A building was procured for a pest house, at Bottle Hill, and preparations made to remove the patients but the inhabitants of that part of the town protested against such proceedings and threatened war. One of the patients was sent to San Francisco. Breat.—John Q. Adams, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, alsoran in his own town for the Legislature and was defeated. Last year he ran for the same two offices and was elected to the latter one. WELL NaMED.—A steambout cuptain on the Mississippi has given the new popular name of “Grecian: Bend” to what was formerly known as “Shirt Tail Bend” on that river. THE Stockton Independant says there is every reason. for believing that the work of constructing the Stockton.and Tulare railroad will be commenced on an early day, and that the northern: terminus will be established in that city. THERE was a quadruple marriage in Indiana a short time since. A man
tuarried his third step-mother, who had three children by his father, and three of his cousins’ brothers married—three of his wife’s sisters. At last accounts the parties were trying to find out what relation they were to: each other. THe highest mine in the world is a silver mine, and is that of Pétosi, inthe Andes of Peru. It is situated 11,376 feet above the surface. of the ocean. The deepest mine in the world is a salt mine.
