The Morning Gr . THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. 1, 1830. HOW. WAGS THE WORLD! Granseript. = = _ On our side of the Atlant’c, & tolerably animated contest for the Chief Magistracy of oar glorious ‘Republic is in full tide, and our political journals and stump orators are making the most of it. On the other side Garibaldi is struggling, manfully and successfully, to liberate Ituly from her tyrants and unite “her hitherto distracted. territories under a “eonstitutional monarchy. There is a’ vast difference between the political struggle in our Republic and the political struggle on the “ Glassic soil of Italy. We settle our affuirs by * the peaceful agency of the ballot box while “the Itglians are obliged to settle theirs by the aid of the cartridge box. ‘There isa marked distinction between these two sorts of boxes, as nll must allows -No political changes can be effected’ fii any portion of Europe, it seems, without the accompaniments of burn“ing gunpowder and the’ flow of blood. ‘In vur happy country, though the politicians} make themdelyes, extremely noisy and angry about election times, we have, go fur, mianaged to.select our governmental functionaries, without: resorting-to any weapons more dangerous than the tongue and the pen. It ig true that there are some political croakers umong us who predict that, if the coming election should huppen not to be ‘satisfactory to certain parties and sections, the ballot box will be supersedéd by the box that holds the cartridges. Now, with as much deference to these prophets of evil .as they deserve, we aro'fitmly of opinion that we shall not have a@ civil-war in these United States, during the lifetime of any American, young or old, now in existence. ‘There is too much good, solid sense in the American masses ever to under_ take such a‘costly and dangerous pastime as Givil war, especially when waged for nothing but the merest shadow of an abstraction. Let the Italians fight-and slay each other ; it ta the only way in which they can acquire liberty and independence ; but to imag‘ne en‘lightencd Americans eygaged in getting each other’s throats, and all for nothing, is su“premely ridiculous. In the European world, the nations are watching the progress of the Garibaldian revolations, with an intensity of interest of which we peaceful Americans can form but a meagre idea. The British jotrnalists have reached the conclusion that the Italian imbroglio is destined to set all Europe by the ‘ears. They anticipate that Garibaldi, whom they regard as 4 brave and honest but exceedingly rash and headstrong man, will not-rest unril his soldiers cross bayonets with the Austrians. Of course, he will fight the Auatrians, for how else could be liberate Venetis? And that be intends to liberate Venenetia is just as certaid as that he hae already liberated the Two Sicilies. Piedmont will ~ be compelled to go to war with Austria; and, if not strong enough for that power, France, it is supposed, will wterfere on behalf of the weaker party, a# in 1869, just to equalize matters. The interference of France may bring Russia, Prussia, aid most of the Gers man etates to the aid of Austria, and then Great Britain will be obliged to tuke her hare in the meles—on the side of France avd Piedmonut—and thus the game of a general Europoau war will be played in a style of magnificence unequaled since the days of the first Napoleon. It is questionable, howev r, whether any of these nations, deeply in debt and broken in credit as they are, can afford the expense. of mingling in a strife of such magnitude. f Thus the world wage, in America and Europe, and how matters will fermitiate is more than we know, excepting that somebody will be elected President of the Uuited States, aext Tuesday, and the event will be followed by neither a dissolution of the Uniou nor acivil war, The successful eandidute, whoever he may be, will be ceremoniously inau~ gurated on the fourth day of next March, his friends will pester him for offices, and no other harm will come of his election. Truly, we are a great and happy people, if we ouly had the wit to know it. a. Costa Rica.—Intormation from Costa Rica says that the revolutionists have been defeated.

The'Public Schools of the County closing on the last of October, and commencing their new yéar on the Ist of November, offers an appropriate occasion for a few remarks relative to the institution. The Schools*throughout the County hive been blessed during the past year with perfect harmony and unanimity among the Trustees, Teachers and Superintendent. The mental and moral advancement of the purils has been in proportion to the means und opportunities offered by the different districts. The State and County Funds have been fuirly apportioned ameng the schools, and . iwiully and appropriately used for educational purposes The most of the districts have Coriplied with the law in taking the censue, and have made out their annital reports, which will entitle them to be recipients of the State and County School Funds. Those Funds, however, have never been adeguate to the growing wants, and increasing number of the Public Schoola._ From'the State no increase of the Fund can reasonably be looked for ; en the County alone are based all the hopes and expectations of the Schools: The wise amendment to the school liw-, now authorizes your Honorable Body to levy twenty-five per cent. for the support of Cotmmon Schools. That they are worthy to receive, and will need such assigkarce, Do one, acquainted with the institution, can, fora moment, doubt: From the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections of the public lands, the Schoola of the County have no benefit; and tho uid formerly obtained from exhibitions, feusts, balls aiid parties, owing tw the questionable’ nature of their influence on. the moral and mevtal training of youth, have been abandoned to the Churches, for the support of the Miuistry aud spread of the Gospel. The little burthen the Public Schools have heretofore been to the County, their great worth and increasing merit should, now, in this, their time of need, doubly entitle them ty your kind patronage and fostering care.

Post yives un incident in connection ‘with the oil excitement in Pensylvania; Av old “blacksmith bored in his back yard and struck u veiu. He at once became u man of position. He had a daughter who had blossomed into muideuhood almost unnoticed and unknown, but who now became an object of interest to the few young wen in that Gommunity. It at once became a question how to break the ice of former indifference, and to secure a favorable acquaintunce with this heiress of the oil well. Fora while the natural timidity of the boys kept them aloof; but, at last, one of the boldest und beat favored among them determined to try his luck, and on Sunday evening, attired in his best, resolately marched for-ward and offered ‘to escort the damsel home. Imagine bis chagrin when she, turning on him with a look ‘of loity independence that would have done honor to a Broadway belle, replied, in language more severe thau chaste: “Git out! ¥on can’tcome tit! Dad has struck A WIFE WHO WouLb NnoT TaKE HER Huspanp’s DeaTu UPON Rerort.—A few weeks ago, Mrs. E. N. White, of Burlington, Iowa, whose husband lias been for some time at work in Chicago, received a letter purporting to be from a friend of his who was prined to inform her that himself and Mr. E. N, White had been upset on a lake, with fatal result to the latter. The widow was told that ‘the Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away,” and something was added about how ‘ the young ravens” are fed’ Mrs. W. deter mined to go to the bottom of the:matter, bebottom of the lake. She found that a certain ry element, had possession of ber husband. Consequently the constable instead of the coroner was ec:lled. POVERTY THE PAREN'T OF FUN.—Poverty runs strongly to fun. Aman is never so full of jokes as when heis reduced to one shirt and two potatoes. Wealth is taciturn and fretful. Stock brokers would no sooner indulge in a hearty laugh than they would lend mouey on a second mortgage. Nuture isa grext believer in compensations. Those to Whom she seuds wealth she saddles with lawsuits and dyspepsia. The poor never indulge in wood-cock, but then they havea style of appetite that converts a number three mackurel into a salon, and that is quite as well. ieee ae SaLT Lake MatL.—The publie will be pleased with the infermation, brought by latest Eastern. Express, that the Salt Lake mail contract has been extended, thus enabling the Pony Express to continue. , The information is defiuite wend couclusive, so that it is not likely that journalists will be required to write or people te read more of this tiresome subject. It is not probable that the Pony will be again interrupted until the eompletion of the telegraph shall have taken away liis vecupation. Sap AFFAIR.—Saturday night, October 20th, Daniel Blyther, was killed at his residence, at Horseshoe Bend, on Trinity river, by J. Wood, his foriner partner. We have not, says the Journal, definitely ascertained the partieulars of the killing, but learned that Wood was examined before Justice Foye and bound over to appear in the sum of $1,000. Mrs. Wood is reported to have TigNce.—There will probably always be plenty of people willing to td&e office. It is not a question of quality but of quantity. . When Mr. Buchanan was elected President, a geutleman who had worked fot him went tu Washligton with his pockets full of letters to GeneratCass, the Secretary of State. He called at the Department .and_presented his letters to. the Seeretary. “They ure entirely sitisfactory, sir,” said-that public funetionary. I see that you are anapplicant for the consulship «t Genoa.” ‘Yes sir,’ replied the Applicant; “I thought I should probably have no difficulty in secureing 89, unimportant a post.”“Perhaps, sir,” said the Secretary, ‘you would like to see the list of apphéants for the Genoa consulship?” The gentleman opened his eyes. : _ “List of applicants! I suppose that nobody else would have thought it worth while to—” ‘Here, sir,” interupted the Secretary, here ia the list». The names are numbered.’ ‘You observe there are already twenty-five hundred. I shall have great’ pleasure in entering your name in oreer.”” >< _ The gentleman with the satisfactory letters. was confounded. ™ tae _ “No,no thank you, sit,” he replied, decisively. ‘,I beg you not to enter my name. I will tuke my letters if you please sir, andy. Govud-moruing, wish you good-morning. sir.” WuaT THE Hi,Ls ARE WorTH.—Two years ago a Frenchman, says the San Andreas Iudependent, who had tired of unremunerative mining, conceived the idea of planting a vineyard on the summit and sides of a high hill near the old camp of Esperanza. His first care was to secure water for irrigation, . which he did by conducting the waters of a large spring, 500 yards distant, to the summit of the hill, where he had banked up a reser‘voir of sufficient capacity to answer his ends. He then put out 2,000 .vine slips, and the next. year 6,0U0 more—muking in all 8,000 Vines. They have grown well, his water facilities are ample for twice the number of vines has , planted, and we are informed that he his grapes are of the very best quali ty for wine—perhaps the best in the county. Next Falkhe will make several pipes of wme, tnd.a year from that time the wine proceeds of his vineyards will bring him: an income ample fur a respectable support. This is what intelligent industry can do with the hundreds of dry, sterile looking hills that superficial thinkers condemn as waste land. Ann of Bohemia, consurt of Richard II., first introduced the fashion of riding sideways, on horseback. Previous_to that, ladies rode ‘‘ugthe men do.” Stothard, the English painter, in illustrating Chaucer’s Cantebury’s Pilgrims, has committed the sulecism of placing his principal lady on horseback sideways, though the pvet describes her as having on her feet “a pat of spures sharpe.” : . Nor THe MurRDERER-—Noland, having arrived from Washoe, acquitsthe men Bulger, or Chamberlain, arrested at Marysville, of being the ‘individual who leveled the gun at him, near Sierra City und who it is supposed inurdered Colony. He\ia still retained in jail on suspicion of being one of the geutlemen who appropriated Young's horses, in Sierra Valley, souie weeks ago —Sierra Citizen. PRoBLEM.—Mr. Jeobu Brown and Mr. John Smith, are both widowers and each has a daughter of sufficient age to marry ; ‘nOW if Mr. Brown imarries Smith's daughter and Mr. Smith should marry Brown’s daughter, then what would be the relationship of their children ? We piss. Who can answer? ns The Cincinnati papers relate an aneedote of a beautiful young lady who had become blind, but recovered her sight after marriage. —Whereupon the New York Post wickedly observes that it is no uncommon thing for people's eyes tu be opened by matrimony.

He had a daughter who had blossomed into muideuhood almost unnoticed and unknown, but who now became an object of interest to the few young wen in that Gommunity. It at once became a question how to break the ice of former indifference, and to secure a favorable acquaintunce with this heiress of the oil well. Fora while the natural timidity of the boys kept them aloof; but, at last, one of the boldest und beat favored among them determined to try his luck, and on Sunday evening, attired in his best, resolately marched for-ward and offered ‘to escort the damsel home. Imagine bis chagrin when she, turning on him with a look ‘of loity independence that would have done honor to a Broadway belle, replied, in language more severe thau chaste: “Git out! ¥on can’tcome tit!

She found that a certain ry element, had possession of ber husband. Consequently the constable instead of the coroner was ec:lled. POVERTY THE PAREN'T OF FUN.—Poverty runs strongly to fun. Aman is never so full of jokes as when heis reduced to one shirt and two potatoes. Wealth is taciturn and fretful. Stock brokers would no sooner indulge in a hearty laugh than they would lend mouey on a second mortgage. Nuture isa grext believer in compensations. Those to Whom she seuds wealth she saddles with lawsuits and dyspepsia. The poor never indulge in wood-cock, but then they havea style of appetite that converts a number three mackurel into a salon, and that is quite as well. ieee ae SaLT Lake MatL.—The publie will be pleased with the infermation, brought by latest Eastern. Express, that the Salt Lake mail contract has been extended, thus enabling the Pony Express to continue. , The information is defiuite wend couclusive, so that it is not likely that journalists will be required to write or people te read more of this tiresome subject. It is not probable that the Pony will be again interrupted until the eompletion of the telegraph shall have taken away liis vecupation. Sap AFFAIR.—Saturday night, October 20th, Daniel Blyther, was killed at his residence, at Horseshoe Bend, on Trinity river, by J. Wood, his foriner partner. We have not, says the Journal, definitely ascertained the partieulars of the killing, but learned that Wood was examined before Justice Foye and bound over to appear in the sum of $1,000.

When Mr. Buchanan was elected President, a geutleman who had worked fot him went tu Washligton with his pockets full of letters to GeneratCass, the Secretary of State. He called at the Department .and_presented his letters to. the Seeretary. “They ure entirely sitisfactory, sir,” said-that public funetionary. I see that you are anapplicant for the consulship «t Genoa.” ‘Yes sir,’ replied the Applicant; “I thought I should probably have no difficulty in secureing 89, unimportant a post.”“Perhaps, sir,” said the Secretary, ‘you would like to see the list of apphéants for the Genoa consulship?” The gentleman opened his eyes. : _ “List of applicants! I suppose that nobody else would have thought it worth while to—” ‘Here, sir,” interupted the Secretary, here ia the list». The names are numbered.’ ‘You

I shall have great’ pleasure in entering your name in oreer.”” >< _ The gentleman with the satisfactory letters. was confounded. ™ tae _ “No,no thank you, sit,” he replied, decisively. ‘,I beg you not to enter my name. I will tuke my letters if you please sir, andy. Govud-moruing, wish you good-morning. sir.” WuaT THE Hi,Ls ARE WorTH.—Two years ago a Frenchman, says the San Andreas Iudependent, who had tired of unremunerative mining, conceived the idea of planting a vineyard on the summit and sides of a high hill near the old camp of Esperanza. His first care was to secure water for irrigation, . which he did by conducting the waters of a large spring, 500 yards distant, to the summit of the hill, where he had banked up a reser‘voir of sufficient capacity to answer his ends. He then put out 2,000 .vine slips, and the next. year 6,0U0 more—muking in all 8,000 Vines. They have grown well, his water facilities are ample for twice the number of vines has , planted, and we are informed that he his grapes are of the very best quali ty for wine—perhaps the best in the county. Next Falkhe will make several pipes of wme, tnd.a year from that time the wine proceeds of his vineyards will bring him: an income ample fur a respectable support. This is what intelligent industry can do with the hundreds of dry, sterile looking hills that superficial thinkers condemn as waste land. Ann of Bohemia, consurt of Richard II., first introduced the fashion of riding sideways, on horseback. Previous_to that, ladies rode ‘‘ugthe men do.” Stothard, the English painter, in illustrating Chaucer’s Cantebury’s Pilgrims, has committed the sulecism of placing his principal lady on horseback sideways, though the pvet describes her as having on her feet “a pat of spures sharpe.” : .
