FROM MONTREAL.

We have received the Montreal Herald of
March list. The leading article in the paper
commences in the following strain; "According
to all human calculation, war between G. Brit
ain and the United States cannot now be avoided
but by real sacrifice of that of the latter" &C.
Sc The writer goes TO talk of "annihia-
ting our maritime trade-of destroying every
maritime town from Portland to New Orleans
and making every citizen of the United States
feel the in his purse and his person ; in the
ruin of trade, the glut of markets. the torch of the
rioter, the dagger ofthe SLAVE, and the tonaafa,ck
ofthe savage ~" And of all these matters, the
amiable Herald goes on to prare as famiarly s'as
maids of fifteen do of puppy dogs" 1t is very ev-
ident that there are braggarts and gasconaders in
Montreal as well as in the 'patriot" army

THE WASHINGTON DUEL.

In the correspondence of the Pennsylvania In
quirer find the following of the highly common
dable conduct of Mrs. Graves, in her endeavors to
prevent the fatal duel
The lady of the Hon Mr. Graves was not aware
that her husband about to be engaged in a du-
oil till late in the morning. Every thing had been
kept from the females connected with the parties.
By some accident, know not how it was, Mrs
Graves ascertained the painful fact that her hus-
band had gone to the field Notwithstanding the
day was severely cold and the lady IN feeble
health, the moment the intelligence OF the duel
authorities. and procured n bench warrant for the
rest Of all the parties engaged in the affair, She
then proceeded to the Marshal Of the District pro-
cured carriage and accompanied that officer TO seek
out the field of battle.
The better to execute their designs, and avoid all
interruption, the duests had led the public astray
the place selected, and Mrs. Graves after hav
ing examined several places, usually resorted to
by those who indulge in the trial by BATTLE without
success, retur@ed TO the city in dspair Before she
reached her lodgings, tho deed had been done
Her conduct is worthy of all commentator and
applause. The spirit and deep moral sense which
this lady envinced, should entle her to the admi-
ration of every advocate Of humanity and justice.
Had she been successful in her holy efforts repress
and subdue the hurricane of passion, which led her
affair might have been amicabiy adjustcd, and poor
Cey might have escaped the fate that attended
him. And whilst the unfortunate Mrs. Cley and
her orphan children left to bewail the loss of a
father and husband, it may be mourntul salisfac
ton to them to know, that the wife of the man at
whose hands he tell struggled though Intellectual
ly, to prevent the death Of their common protector

FOR THE CALIFORNIAN.

| NJ ED,rop.-T'ho Journal of the American
,ron,,oropoe Union for November says, that, Sin
1913. there were in the jails in the State ofNew
York 9S49 persons, and that an equal number in
proportion to the population would make, in the
United States, Seventy thousand; that these per-
sons if copyrighted together, would fill seventy
Churches, would man seventy large ships Of war,
would make a larger city than any, except four we
have in America would cultivate twenty thousand
respectable farms, and raise provision for the main
tuinance of 10000 people" The journal asks,
"why are all this mass of human beings, in this
land OF liberty and plenty, shut up in loathsomo
ails confined by bars and bolts, as UNFIT for, and
unsafe in, human society,"" And answers (coprcct-
Ily believe) "Chiehy, because Of rum. Their
pathway has been, through the dram shop, and tho
tavern, to prodigaliy, idleness, and crime" and
adds ''let the law makers Of our land, who license
these dens look to this matter" More than six
thousand of the most respectable inhabitants ofVer-
mont Mr. Editor, have peltioned the Legislature Of
this State to lock to this matter Satisfied that the
traffic in ardent spirit is doing more than all other
causes to produce crime and misery, that 1t does
greater injury to society than gambling and coun-
tcrGeiting, they have very respectfully asked thAr
rulers to nterdct this traffic Why have they not

and recorded to their honor, in the annals OF YER
mont, and of the nation. They will form distn-
guished link, that chain of Observation-Disclosures,
which is destined as trust, at no distant day, to
demolish the fabric of oppression in America, and
give freedom TO every slave. But when think Of

COUNTY CONVENTION.

We would call the attention Of ourreaders to the
notice Of the Wing County Committee tor Con-
vention at Danville on Thursday next The state
Of the roads may discourage some from attending
who otherwise would esteem it privilege, but the
fact that the Supreme Court will be in Session, and
the consideration that although the sleghlng is gone,
vet the ground will remain sufficiently frozen to
render the travelling tolerable, will, we presume,
secure good attendance. The measure is called
for, and we happy to know that our friends III
different parts of the county have been for some
weeks impatient for the call.
II there was ever time when tho people were
called upon to express their will upon matters con-
nected with the administration Of the General Gov
eminent, that Time is the present 1t is now nearly
IL year since the Banks were forced to refuse to pay
specie for their bills by the unwso and destructive
measures Of the Administration. The people look
ed to the extra session Of Congress for relief from
the evils of disordered currency, but looked in
vain. Instead of measures for the relief OF The
country, the President proposed measure for the
relief ofthe GOvetnmont-the odious Sub-Ireasury
Bill. How this bill was regarded by the people
may be inferred from the fact that III every State
where elections were pending there was an unpre-
,cedented change, adverse to the administration
In the State OF New York, the change in the popu-
lar vote exceeded $4,000. Other States swelled the
number to more than 100000. But few elections
Of members of Congress were held, the political
state Of parties IN Congress remains unchanged. Ii
was reasonable, however, to expect that some re-
gard would be paid by the Administration TO the
will Of the people expressed in the State cleo
lions. But no. MadIy bent upon the scheme of
placing the Government above the reach the peo-
ple the President persists i'll pressing upon the pres
ent session Of Congress the ub-Troasury project
Until recently it has been hoped and believed that
so monstrous a measure could not be forced through
Congress. But recent accounts so far to disspate
these hopes. 1t is now pretty well understood that
the V. b. Senators from Ohio and N. Jersey will
disregard the instructions ofthe Legislatures of those
States requesting them to oppose the Snb Treasury
Bill and that it will pass by the casting vote Of the
Vice President. The Madsonan, published at
Washington, has the following in relation to the
late developement:-
''TME APPROACHING CEIsIs.-7He Republic IN
danger' We haoe been rcposjng an .JatSc security!
White nee lace Jeen mast confidently be 'icuing that
danger ooas far of, and inGuging oursef IN dreams
Of peace and safety to the Repnblic, are haze been
most rapidly approaching the Jrinh eta prccipicc.'
We repeat that if ever there a time when
the will of the people should he expressed in notes
not to be mistaken Ivy our delegation in Congress,
that time Is the present.

GJ7Among list of late appointments by the
President notice the following:
Archibald w Hyde, Burlington, VT, from Feb
ruary %, 1888.
So ilappears, that Mr. Partridge and his seventy
rank and file memoralsts labored in vain for tho
removal of MIR Hyde from the office of Collector
of Customs Mr. P. must wait awhile before his de-
sires for office be graufed, unless he is
with the opportunity of talking loco Eocosm in the
Legislature three or four hours day. 1t was al
lodged by the famous memoralists that the remov-
al of Mr. Hyde and the appointment of Mr. Part
ridge would promote the Administration party in
Vcrmont but now, as the President has refused to
do this according to usage and the estubl rules
of the party he must be denounced as a "IIartlord

elapsed since they determined to contest the cleo

Wings in that State, and dshearting to their oppo-
nents. We fear we shall be compelled to reserve
