COUNTY and CIFY OFFICIAL PRESS.
Tat AGKICULTURAL -CoLLeée.—We
Gave heretofore reviewed the designs of the
prdposed School of Agricalture, Mising abd
Mechanic Arts, and endeavored to show
how well Nevada county is adapted for the
Aocation of suck a School, on account of its
‘accessibility and adaptability of svil and
climate. We urged that since the object is
to midke the proposed College a mining as
well as an agricultural School, that Jocality
which can offer the greatest diversity of
soil and the best farm ‘fur the study of agriculture, and at the same time enable students to become familiar with the practical
Working of the mines should be selected
over all others. Many of our citizens have
come to the conclusion that any induceanéots which might be offered by them
~~~ would have ne weight with the Board of
'~ Directors, and thereture bave taken little
or no interest in the matter. The hands
of the Supervisors are tied by law, and eon@eqtently the county cannot become a bidder for.the School.. We believe that it is a
mistaken idea which induces this apathy
among our people. The other quarters of
the State have all the public buildings, and
one of the leading objects of the College
‘ean only be attained by having it located
near the mines. Nevada county is the leading mining county in the State, and her citiwen pay larger incomes thaa those of any
other county, Saa Francisco alone except;
ed. We have twenty wen who could give
five thousand dollars to secure such « build—ing and net feel it. Besides these advantages, no county can offer such a diversity of soil ‘nor better lands fur farming
purposes, Witain a mile of this city, a
ranch of five actes wa¢ bought on credit for
$4,000, and-puid for out of the produéts io
less than fifteen months. A soil that is ca~pable of this, is certainly all that could be
. desired. Let our people make a united effort for the Cellege, and we believe it can
The Bulletin of Wednesday has a well
writtes article on thie subject, in which it
advises the Board to exercise the greatest
care in locating the School. That paper
“*Binee the design of the institution is
“to afford thorough instruction in agriculturd, wising, and the natural sciences con~
nected therewith,” and tu combine physi¢al with mental education in both the practical branches named, there would seem te
be a great deal of propriety in the estion that the college should aot. be fixed in
& location ‘exelusively agricultural, but iu
one that affords equal opportunities for practical instruction in farming aud mining.—
The Nevada TRANsSCHIPT claims that a
farm can be obtained in that county, in
close proximity to the remarkable mines of
Grass Valley, which would, for richness
and variety of svil, beauty of scenery and
excellence of climate, be waequaled in the
State, and which would also, by reason of
its closeness to the line of the Central’ Picific Railroad, convecting with the entire
railway system of the State, fulfil the couditiod of easy accessibility. Such consider@tions, supported by ample proofs and by a
handsoare pebectiption vt wovey, ought to
have great weight with the Board of Diectore, butit is earnestly hoped that that
will deliverate long and carefully before wakiug aby devisiun on a matter of
eUoh iniportance. On the choice of a good
location will depend in » very large degree
the success of the contemplated College,
aud tlie step, as well as every other cuonnected with the establishment and orgunigation of the institution, vught tu be wust
carefully considered. Pohtieal influence
@od local rivalry have proved detriments!
to nearly all the arene ae ~
tabliabed by the State, and in this
Board Wil eerce ve aepecial admonition.”
These words of caution are so trué that
they need no argument to support them.—
There is yet time enough to locate the
Séhool, and if the Board does not exercise
the'greatest cure, weighing all the advantages, and giving due importance to all the
intended objects of the School, the institution will become a monument ef their
folly. The place where all the ende designed, can be accomplished without a sacrifice of the health or comfort of students,
is the place for the College, and these
advantages ‘should outweigh millions of
money io lotating the Schvol.

A MAN who hed obtained the high and
honorable distinction of President of the
United States might reasonably expect to
be honored by all classes of citizens. The
City Council and Commercial Bonarda of
Philadelphia refused to take any part in the
reception of Johnson, and only & meagre
crowd of journeyman tailors turned out
to meethim. Though they ought to be infurmed in-some way that Johnson bas disgraced the “craft” as no tailor ever did before.

RECRUITING,—The recruiting officers of

of Democracy acting as “bounty jumpers,”
but they “wont do to bet on,” they’ll take
the bread and butter and thea damn the
brigade.
JONNSON telegraphed to the military io
New Orleans, “You must sustain the civil
authorities.” Sheridan telegraphed to
Grant that the “Civil authorities commitmitted a most cold bloeded and atrocious‘
murder.” What, then, is Johnson’s share
in the guilt? Accessory betore the fact.

eld tune.called, ‘The Devil Among the
Tailors,” which an emiveot musician is reconstructing, to be ‘re-named. “Johnson's
March.” ‘He will not bate it done in time
for the President's Westward tour, but it
