Grumbling against Editors.

Il is amusing to hear the contradictory
complaints which are sometimes made
against newspaper. A prefers quarto
sheet-B declares he could never get the
hang of one-C admires the neatness and
elegance of fine type-and old Mr.. d ab-
hors paper that requires microscope.
E wonders you insert so few sentimental
and ghost s.ories-F detests your abomi-
nable lies and cock-and- buIl-tales - G.
would like to see an exact and minute ac-
count OF Congressional and legislative pro-
ceedlngs-H curses the Journal that con-
tains the endless, hodge podge doings and
undolngs of selfish partisans and dema-
gogues. [ wont subscribe because your
news department is so contracted-J takes
the western papers, and has read your
stale items week ago. X has a mortal
antlpathy to paper crowed with riots,
horrible accidents, frightful robberies, and
demoraiizing statements-L is as mad as
halter, because his miserable paper con-
tained no account of that bloody murder
last week. NJ detests your stereotvped
advertisemen.s-and all n wants of the
paper is 10 see what's for sale. o threat
ems 10 discontinue because your editorials
lack G niger. and don't lash private vices
Z, leaden-head, points you to --'s
paper, and wonders you never moralize
like him. Q hates the rascally Abolition
ists--R holds III perfect contempt the das-
tard editor who is too cowardiv to ayow
his abhorrence of slavery. S demands
long and solid articles. T wants The
close packed essence, and not the thin, di-
luted mixture. u extoles journal that
reaches him .a week before it is printed"
and V tells you he is not yet quite green

Union Of Central .america.-The Con-
crosses of San Salvador, Honduras and
Nicaragua, it is stated, will act upon the
plan of union of the three States during
March. There are two plans arranged by
commissioners; first, to consolidate ,he
three States: and second, to form a federal
union. One or the other will be adopted,
most likely the first. In this event, the
city of Chinendaga, in this republic mi
caragua) will be the capital. 1t is fine
town, rapidly increasing in population
From 1900 inhabitants in 1887, it has
now increased 10 not far from 10000
Since the United States has given an as
surance of its sympathy, industry and trade
have revived in remarkable degree in
these States. : Baltimore Sun. ses

FURTHER CALIFORNIA INTELLIGENCE.
1--WE find in the New York Tribue the
following additional items of intelligence
from California. received by telegraph
from New Orleans:
The price ofvegetables here are enor-
nous, owing to their scarcely, and, in
fact, the necessaries of life generally are
much higher than they were at this lime
last year.
Commerce with other ports are grow
ing more and more active, and the bay
no longer presents the spectacle ofa de-
sert ofinactive shipping. The depart
ures of vessels during the month of No.
vember equalled the arrivals in number;
and the trade with all parts ofthc Pacific
is not only becoming active but regular,
and is steadily undergoing a vast in'
crease.
Flour at stockton is 81 per pound, and
other articles in the same proportion.
The quantity Of gold dug still contin'
ues to increase. The yield of the Riv.
er bars is great; they are as rich as ever.
Companies are now being formed to work
the strata ofquartz, which are very rich
in gold. Tests which have been made
in San Francisco give from one and a half
to three dollars worth Of gold from every
pound of quartz.
The weather is delightful. The air is
bland and balmy as an Italian summer,
and the hills around The bay are already
covered with fresh crop of grass.

Ono LEGISLATURE. Six weeks Of
what should have been the session of The
Ohio Legislature have passed away, and
as yet not single bill has passed either
House. The warning voice of General
Jackson falls unheeded upon the ears Of
the faclionis.s and law. breakers of the
Senate, and they still appear determined
to put the laws of the State at defiance
1t is whispered in some circles that
this will be the last week Of their fact.
ious course, and that they will at length
agree to come into fair and equitable
arrangement We earnestly hope 50
and are of the opinion that the rumor is
correct, provided some graceful way of
falling in pesents itself.
