LAND TITLES IN CALIFORNIA.

| We have received copy of report made TO the
Department of the Interior by WILLIAM CAREY
JONES, Esq, who was sent to California as conf
Dental agent of the Government to inquire into the
condition of Land Titles in that country. His re-
port, which is contained in pamphlet of about
forty pages, makes a very full exposition of the
origin and character of these titles and contains
large amount of valuable and information.
Mr. JONES says that all the grants of land
made in California Except pueblo or village lots,
and except perhaps some grants north of the bay Of
San Francisco, will be hereafter notced) subse-
quent to the independence of Mexico, and after the
establishment of that government in California,
were made by the different political governors. On
the 2lst Of January, 1928, the Government defined
the process Of securing these titles
"The directions very simple. They gave the GO
Of the Territories the exclusive faculty of making
grants within the term of the law that is the Of

The City of Richmond has given the coup de
grace to the project of Convention of the South
ern States to be held at Nashville. The breath IS
out of its body.
On Friday evening last held an adjourned
Meeting of the People of the City Of Richmond to
decide upon the expediency of sending Delegates
from that district of Virginia. to the Convention |;
and the proposition to that effect was voted down
by 2l4 votes against los. This, it is obvious, was
not full meeting Of the People of Richmond,

excitement of the days of election preceding it. A
large proportion of all the absentees must have
consisted OF persons who were inimical or indis-
posed to it. The want Of vitality in the project
sufficiently shown in the thinness of the atten-
dance. The fact that at least one-half of the Peo-
pie of Richmond would not take the trouble to 60
to the meeting to vote upon the question either pro
or con, shows, beyond doubt, that the sober sense
of the People is safe reliance against the success
of the best laid plans of political schemers and
revolutionists.
The same sound sense Of the People-he same
rational content with the Constitution as IL IS, has
been evnced by the masses of the People in nearly

story has recently been put in circulation, that
the President Of the United States will veto the
bill for the admission of the State of California into
the Union, should it be accompanied by Territorial
bills or other measures.
The PRESIDENT has never assumed any such
ground. One of the greatest complaints now made
against him by his opponents is, that he declines 10
interfere with to attempt to control the legislation
of Congress. He has performed his constitutional
duty, and fully recommended, in regard to the
newly acquired Territory, such measures in his
Judgment are best calculated to promote harmony
and good feeling, by avoiding the unnecessary dis
cussion of the agitating questions of the day. He
has not attempted by any other means to influence
or control the opinion of Congress in reference to
this vexed question nor have any of his Cabinet
Ministers. The President having performed his
whole duty in this particular leaves the decision Of
the subject to the wisdom and patriotism Of that
enlightened body, whose constitutional duty it is to
assist him in the administration Of the Government,
and to whom he looks with confidence for salts
factory adjustment of the whole matter Amidst
the storm of political and party strife he bears with
him the consciousness of rectitude, which he knows
will carry him ,riumphantly through all dangers,
and firmness of purpose upon which good men
may confidently rely for the safety of the Republic,
under any possible emergency.

light, the Editor saying that he thinks it the duty
of the President 10 consult the Whig party IN re-
gard to all great measures, &c. Now, how can this
be done To consult the party could be OF no use
unless its opinion were to be followed. And, we
again ask, how can that be done, when the opinions
obtained by such consultations are utterly conflict
ing and irreconciable one with another! 1t is diff
ficult to see how any other course but that which
has thus far been pursued by the President and the
Cabinet can be taken; that is, to make such ap-
pointments, recommend such measures, and make
such administration of The Departments as are agree
able to well-known Wing principles and policy,
guided by their best judgment, and with the best
light they can obtain and leave it to the Wing party
who placed them in power to sustain and support
or to complain and abandon either the President or
his Cabinet, as shall by them be thought best. II
is probable that, while the party remains divided,
some for Paul, some for Apollos, and some for
Cephas, and so many each for himself, complaint,
defeat, and disgrace will follow.
Much has been said Of late about the allowance
of claims. The truth is, there is much more real
dissatisfaction about the rejection of claims, and OF
late many who have failed in their various appca-
tons for offices, for claims, for contracts, and pro-
jects, seem inclined to throw their various CON-
plants into common stock, and make general
charge on the ohole Cabinet, and to procure gen.
eral change, that they may have another chance OF
succeeding in the claims, contracts, and various
private plans and projects which the several mem
bers of this Cabinet have rejected.
The number of Wing members Of Congress who
participate in this course is believed to be small,
and, instead of constituting The party, which remains
sound and faithful, are but the exceptions, who DO
not perhaps always disclose the true ground of their
complaints.
