A New PArER.-We see 1t stated that Mr.
Secchi proposes to publish weekly journal, in
English and Italian, for the benefit of the Italian
people here. He will support, in his columns, the
democratic cause of Italy, in opposition to the
clergy and absolutes. We learn, also, that pre-
partitions are being made in another quarter to
publish a new daily French newspaper, or at least
issue one every second day, to be devoted to the
cause of sound republican progress in Europe, and
giving the latest information and details from that
part of the world. This new French journal, for
American circulation, will avoid all the reveries Of
socialism on the one side, and of absolutism, Of
every grade on the other 1t will support the real
republican party in France, and throughout Europe,
who have not yet had chance to show them
selves in action, but who may, in process of
time, be able to cheer up the dropping spirits Of
the practical, sound, and sensible democracy Of
the Old World, without any Of the reveries of
philosophers or fanatics

which the business Of scores and scores OF the
country post Offices is now conducted.
Here, then, we have some clue to that furious
opposition which begins to manifest itself against
the new administration. An immense amount OF
the patronage of the government has been deposited
in the hands of men who altogether sectional
in their views and feelings 1t is not surprising
that the South should feel indignant under these cir
cumstances That portion of the Union beholds
with great alarm, not unmixed With indignation,
the dispensation of large amount Of the patronage
of the general government, by personages openly
hostile TO the views and feelings of the South.
The outcry against wholesale removals from Office
has not been altogether without excuse or without
provocation. In the Department of the Interior,
and the Post Office Department, the greatest havoc
has taken place among the officials. Hence the
closeness of the scrutiny to which the personnel of
those departments has been subjected. The result
is by no means consoatory to the South, whatever
it may be TO some portions of the North.
In these circumstances, what Is the President
to do! PROFESSIONALLY, he has been imposed up
on-grossly imposed upon. His patriotism is not
bounded by the Potomac He loves, we are sure,
the whole country, and means to administer the
government in spirit of impartiality and justice.
We must see to it, that his fame and the prospe-
rty Of his administration be not jeopardized by
crafty, designing politicians Let him make a
clean sweep whenever it appears to be just and
necessary.

REvULsIoN IN TIE CALIFORNIA TRADE-When
the California excitement first burst forth on the
Atlantic coast, immense cargoes of merchandise,
of all descriptions, were despatched there, and
those expectations were continued, up to a compa-
ratively recent period. Upwards of four hundred
ships, with merchandise and passengers, were
sent thther, involving an outlay of some fifteen or
twenty millions of dollars OF capital. Those car
goes which were first sent there, were sold at
prices enormously high, and yielded a very hand
some profit to the owners and propretors. Our
last intelligence from that celebrated region, ln-
forms that prices for all kinds of goods had
reached rulnously low mark, not near sufficient
to cover expenses. Now, a great many ships with
similar freghs, had yet to arrive there from New
York and other cities on the Atlantic; and the ma
tural consequence of the glut in the market which
their arrival will cause, will be still further de-
prsciation. What then is to become of those who
invested their capital and means in these specula-
tons II is true that the first shipments realized
good profits, because they had the benefit of the
high prices which at time ruled in California;
but the sudden fall in prices, produced by over
shipment, must bring about revulsion here, and
terrible destruction to those who engaged in the
California trade at a late day The revulsion may
reasonably be expected but the destruction which
it will cause will not retard the progress
of California, nor prevent 1t from becoming the
create placeeon the Pacific. Emigration still
pushes on towards the gold regions. Twenty or
thirty thousand Western men are on their way
there overland, who will reach California about
the same time that the emigrants from the Atlantic
will. Before next fall, there will be from fifty
to sixty thousand new arrivals In California, from
the Western States and the Atlantic coast Such
an immense addition to the population may cause
prices of goods to advance again; for their wants
must be supplied; and those who can afford to hold
on to their shipments awhile may yet realize
profit on their investments. In digging gold, the
Western emigrants will have much better chance
than those from the Atlantic. They are accus-
toned TO hard work-digging. chopping, and such
other labor is generally done on a farmland
will, therefore, be better able to undergo the great
fatigue and drudgery consequent upon gold Dig
ging. No great fortunes may be made; but when
California receives this great inundation of emf
grants, 1t will make more rapid progress than
any other country IN the world has ever done. Its
progress already has astonlshed Europe II, is true
the last accounts from there were not very pro-
missing; but industry will always receive its re-
ward there.

JouRsAL1sn-I1s PnoeRrss.-The progress and

JoURNALIsn-ITs PRoGREss.-The progress and
character of journalism in this metropolis, present
as curious traits as we find in the history of jour
nalism in Paris or London. First, for the facts
1t will be recollected that when the Herald and
Tribune OF this city were competitors for the print
ing of the Post Office advertisements, under the
law authorizing their publication here in the jour-
mails having the largest circulaontwi will be recol-
lected, we say, that the New York Herald pre-
scented circulation of only few hundred more
than that of the Tribune at that period. This was
about two years ago. What is the difference be-
tween the relative circulation of the two papers
to-day? We understand, from very good autho-
rity, that the daily circulation of the Tribune
has dwindled down to about eleven thousand,
if not less; while the circulation of the Herald
has risen, on one occasion, as high as thirty
eight thousands and at the present time 1t
never circulates less than from twenty-five to
twenty-six thousand per day. Here we have
most remarkable fact in the circulation of news
papers In this city. Now, has this anything to do
with principles, views, talent, and industry! We
rather think it has. Since the Tribune became the
organ Of sociallsm-which is only another title for
rreligion, atheism, robbery, and swindling, under
the name ofphosophy and philanthropy-th daily
circulation of that paper among the practical and
intelligent people of this country has diminished
very materially; while the Herald, which has on
all occasions opposed those destructive theories IN
religion, politics, and society, and always sup
ported every practical and rational system of
Christianity, has increased in circulation, and is
increasing beyond anything that can be found In
this country.
We believe some similar facts can be accounted
for, and that similar reasons might be given, ex-
hibiing the progress of journalism in London and
Paris during the last three or four years AT our
leisure we may enter into them.

SANITARY MEASURES The medical council, in COM
plance with resolution Of the Board of Health have
reported that the establishment Of houses Of refuge for
the reception OF persons living in unhealthy localities
during the of cholera is measure which has
been advised and adopted in various cities in Europe.
This the in Edinburgh, in 1882, where 1t was
raid to have been attended with marked benefit To
these houses refuge the sound members OF wded
house, in unhealthy situation, were removed in or
der to them from of the chief Of
disease and the time to lessen the dense popu
lation of the place. The general Board of Health Of
London, within the last year. advised the adoption Of
similar course, and recommended, whenever cases of
cholera occurred in filthy and densey crowded situa
TONS that the Inhabitants Of the infected house, or
Of the whole court or alley be removed to suita-
BILE well aired and comfortable houses. in more
healthy locality, while the infected district tho
roughly cleaned and the houses ventilated and fumi
gated II buildings suitable for the purpose could be
readily procured in this city, and this plan could be
fully carried into effect the undersigned have no doubt
that twould be attended with beneficial results but
they doubt the praccabty Of accomplishing 1t before
the occasion for it will have passed away Under these
circumstances 1t is the opinion Of the undersigned that
q important measure would be the establishment
of sufficient number Of hospitals in the upper wards
OF the city within reasonable distance Of those To-
caties in which cholera is at this time most prevalent
This be more readily accomplished than houses Of
refuge could be erected which plan could not be car
ried into effect without mourning very heavy
The medical council submit for the consideration Of
the Board Of Health the adoption OF the following reso
lution:-
pointed by this Board in conf ton with their med
cal advisers whose duty 1t shall be to make house to
house viaons among the poor in the upper wards Of
the city, where, at this time from the greater preva
ence of cholera there Is most occasion for such npec
ton These wards shall be divided into convenient
visiting districts to each of which physician shall
be appointed whose duty 1t shall be to act under the
special direction Of the medical advisers Of this Board
To this Board they shall report from day to day through

A KING INooG.-Charles Albert, passing by Tou-
louise IN his sad journey from the fatal field of No
yara 70 his retirement in Portugal, arrived at the
Hotel de PEurope in an ordinary carriage, with
Wallet and courier only, and nobody guessed who
ne was. lie was put into the first bedroom that
happened TO be vacant and might have quilted
Toulouse in az strict incognto as he entered it, had
not the chambermaid received from the hands Of
the wallet silver Warming-pan for the purpose of
warming the royal sheets. On the lid of this mag
niiicent but te-tae pan were emblazOned the royal
arms Of Sardinia. The maid showed the pan to
her master, and the cat was out of the bag. Hence
monarchy may learn that when they travel incog
they should leave "a home the state warming PAN
with the other trappings Of royalty. If any inqui
rer should speculate on the possible reasons which
induced the King of Sardinia to travel with so
strange piece of furniture, he may be informed
that warming pans are not generally met with in
Italian inns their functions being performed by
placing between the sheets pot Of burning char
coal suspended in little wooden frame an ope-
ration which the Italian chamber-maids call, by
metaphor more expressive than reverent, putting
priest in the bed"

DEATH OF DEXTER BALLou.-Dexter BaIIou,
the first cotton manufacturer of Woonsocket, died
in that village few days since at the age of sixty
one years. He commenced manufacturing in 1915,
in Smithfeld, and in 1877 went to Woonsocket and
hired a small building, where he began with two
spinning frames, one mule and a few cards-the
last Of which were made by himself In the year
1920 he first used power-looms. In 1929 the mill
he then occupied was destroyed by fire, and he
lost nearly all his property. Nothing disheartened
he rebuilt his works, enlarged them from time to
time and the latter part of his life was extensively
engaged in the manufacturing business.
