CALIFORNIA CASTLES TUM-
BLING DOWN.

A correspondent of the Boston Travel
Ter has made some calculations that may
well startle this CaliforHia-crazed country.
He begins by stating that there are now
in the Bay of San Francisco, 800 vessels.
Five hundred will have left the United
States by the end of tht year, all of which,
with the steamers, will have carried So
900 passengers. An equal number will
90 by land. The cost of outfit and pass
age for these 100000 men cannot be less
than $500 each, making, in all, $50, 0OO,-
600. 1t will cost them at least $500 a
year to live. This makes $50, OO0, 900
more. Suppose the time of each individ-
ual be valued at 5000 wear, and we have
further addition of $50, 900, 900, making
a round aggregate of $l00,0O0,000. Not
half this amount can be realized from the
mines. But this is not all. The forsaken
vessels have lost an immense amount of
time. They have been knocked to pieces
on the voyage, and any one who exam
ines the low scale upon which the above
calculations are made, will be convinced
that 500, 100000 will not more than half
cover the actual loss to the country caused
by the California emigration in one short
year. The testimony is that the mines
are less productive than formerly, and it
will probably take dozen years to make
good to the country the losses of the
present year.
On this same subject, too, correspon-
dent of the Express, who rejoices in the
euphonious name of ".Squiddle," very
sensibly remarks that it might have saved
many of those who have rushed TO Cali
fornia, from ruin, had they sat quietly
down and made few figures before start
ing. Mr.. Freaner, the correspondent Of
the n. O. Picayune, estimates that from
the lst of June, 1919, to the lst of June
1880. there will be $42, 100000 of gold
mined. Every one says this estimate is
TOO high, but, suPposing it correct no one
viii consider it an o2er-es!'mate to say
that during the time named, 100000 per-
sons will visit California in search OF lor~
tunes. Making the moderate allowance
of $500 for the expenses of each person.
we have an aggregate Of $5O,O0O,OOO,

Legislative EXtraYaganCp.

1t gives us pleasure TO perceive the
unanimity with which the general press
of the State, Of all parties, regard the sub
ject of State expenditure. In our last
number we gave expression to our own
sense of the spirit in which the financial
ranch of the Governors Message was
eouched we have reason to find even
more fault with the prccipitate tendency
displayed by a large number of the mem
bers of the House of Delegates. Be
cause for years past Virginia has stood
behind her sister States in the race Of In
ternal Improvement, we can see no sufii-
cient reason for making a blind rush now
to the other extreme. The best motto in
,his, as in most other cases, is, FeStine
Ierle, temper your haste, or much will be
attempted and in the end little or nothing
done.
The thousand and one propositions for
Railroads, Canals, &C., that arc crowd
ing the Committees at Richmond would
be fine enough no doubt, if nothing more
than legislative enactment were sufficient
to effect their construction and keep them
M afterwards. We regret thatin most OF
these schemes as little cool judgment is
perceivable as unity Of system, every
member being burdened with little else
than the pet hobby that is to benefit his
particular county and neighborhood. To
be sure there is safety in this, unless the
yillaiuous log-rolling system should be
oroughtto bear against the State Treasury
and what we now believe to be the public
will.
The glibness which some people e1-
hibit in talking about building Rail
Roads would be vastly amusing, but io'
the mischiefs that might be consequent
upon it. Whoever will look into the mat,
ter will find that for State such as Fir.
ginia, containing no large cities, with the
vast mass Of lis population, rural and az
ricultural, the accommodation required by
Railroad is really quite limited. VIVA
we most want is good turnpikes, or sill
better, good. system of Plank Roads
/ Leta few main lines Of these be built ter
minating in one or two Railroads leading
to the great market, and infinitely more
will have been done for the real good o
the sigte than by the accomplishment o
the numerous plans proposed, even if thel
accomplishment were possible.
The true and SAT way m this matter o
great pubic improvement is that Of want
ing till the times are actually ripe for them
