__ 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. In the last
contest the people determined that the
§ national faith’ should bo sacredly kept,
@hd that the control of the. govern‘ment sHotild continde in the hands of
. that party which saved it from its ene: mies during the struggle. ‘The bur_ dens.of taxation have already been
greatly decreased, and before the end
of the next.Congress greater reductions
will be made, and the debt we hope
funded on a basis beneficial to the
county and satisfactory to creditors, —

The sturdy settlers who sought homes
in America, where they might find
“freedom to worship God,” by executive authority: set apart a certain
day inthe year for the observance of
prayer and thanksgiving by all the
: people. ‘This custom has become naHonal,and asa tational holiday is second
only toTndepetdence Day. The proclamations by tlie President and Governors
of States appointing the day is a national reeogiiition of the existence of a
great Overruliog Power, who holds the
destinies of nations in His hands.-—

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.

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.
