Admitting all that has been reported of the gold
region of California TO be true to the utmost, all
sober-minded men must nevertheless regard it, in
national view, as rather a misfortune than source
Of congratulatiOn. Visions Of golden sands and

wealth which "perishes in the using" As far as
our experience of history runs, no nation which
abounded in gold was ever distinguished for one
solitary characteristic Of true greatness, Of that
which is more estmable, true happiness. There
some axioms connected with this subject, OF
which the following are worthy of consideration:
The desire for sudden wealth is always morally injurious
and operates eiecius check TO ordinary industry.

CALIFORNIA ADVENTURES.

The " stream of human life }" is now setting as
irresistibly towards California as DIR. JOHNSON de-
scribes lis current through Fleet street, in London
We arc not absurd enough to think of arresiing
this current; but few suggestions in relation to
the route and its endorsements may not be Who'll
ly Improbable.
The gold attraction is strong that few are will
ing TO loce the time necessary TO go by waer round
the cape or by the overland route. Thousands
rush mpulsvely 10 Chagres for the purpose of get
ting across lots y to Panama, forgetting that they
are then more than three thousand miles from their
FL Dorado.
The voyageto Chagres, over two thousand miles,
is usually pleasant one. But Chagres is town
with few inhabitants no accommodations for stran.
gers and wretched facilities for travellers There
is little or no variation of the thermometer and its
climate for strangers is as bad masma and fever
can make it.
Unless the facilities for taking passengers from
Panama TO San Francisco should be greatly ncreas-
ed, thousands will be necessarily left there for
months, in situation which can as easily be ina
gined as described-.4bany Euening Journal.

THE CIVIL DIssENsIoN IN OHIO.

Our readers will have learned, from the notices
Sahich thar hnpo e. .;.e fsuud IN our
columns, that the persons chosen, or claiming TO
be chosen by the people of the several counties
and districts in the State of Ohio to compose the
Legislature Of that State, arriving at the Seat of
Government hold their annual session, have, after
being many days together instead of organizing
themselves into deliberatve bodies according to the
requirements Of the Constitutions been able TO agree
on nothing but 10 disagree most obstinately and
pertnaciousy. Our latest accounts, by the Tele-
graph line left them in state of confusion worse
and worse confounded and the probability now
to be- that they will dispense to their several
homes without etfecng an organization of the Lee
gislature.
Into the merits of this disseusion it is hardly
worth while for us here TO enter. 1t is enough
that it exists, to make il subject of depreciation by
all the lovers of law and order. But, happily it is
in no sense what il is sometimes termed, a Revolu-
ton, nor even rebellion. The People Of the State
have no concern in il al present but as spectators
OF an Idle contest between their servants, among
whom they will not fail to find out who is to blame
and 10 rebuke them accordingly. Nor will any
serious evil ensue should The Legislature altogether
fail to be organized. The Government of Ohio will
not be dissolved, or even shaken, by it. The az
fairs of the State under its Executive officers will
go on quietly as usual. The consequence, as we
understand it. will simply be the intermssion of
legislative session for the current year; crcum-
stance perhaps to be desired rather than regretted.
after the ill-temper and excitement into which the
representatives Of the opposite parties in the State
have wrought themselves.
Before the time comes for the Legislature again
70 assemble, a new election will have been held
throughout the State, and THE PEOPLE will have
settled The question of who is right and who is wrong
IN this controversy much more effectively and salts
actorily than il could have been settled had powder
and balls been resorted to, as would probably have
been the case in any Government differently consti-
futed from ours instead of the bsllot-box.

INDIANA STATE DEBT.

TT e State debt of INDIANA is rapidly getting into
a shape which will be entirely manageable, and
will place Indiana among the solvent States. An
arrangement was made with her foreign creditors
by which she was relieved from one-half her debt.
The general principle of this arrangement was that
her foreign bondholders should surrender their
bonds, and in return receive (for one-haf OF them
the Wabash and Erie canal, and finish it to Evans
ville For the other half tie State was TO issue new
bonds at FIVE per cent. This arrangement has been
almost entirely consummaed. The Wabash canal
is in the course OF rapid completion. The Auditor
reports that
The Public debt Of the State the LIST of July,
The amount Of bonds surrendered up TO July !,
lS4S, Observation-Disclosures. 7ioo'ooo
Leaving as above, still outstanding 1880 600
One-half Of the surrendered bonds (Sf,579,000)
has been rc-issued in new five per cent bonds.
An equal amount is struck of the State debt, as
being an equivalent to the value of the Wabash and
Erie canal.
Upon the whole, the affairs Of Indiana are in a
very prosperous condition. The great canal from
Lake Erie to the Ohio will soon be completed, and
the credit of the State fully rastored.-Cia. Attas.
