STEALTHY MOVEMENTS.

The suggestion made through the Telegraph
of additional seats in the public grounds meets
with favor, particularly by those from the cen
trail parts of the city-not indeed the "west
end" but from those who feel that the original
movement of Major Bliss when factotem has
resulted in an arrangement of certain hours to
visit the Presidents grounds, which amounts
to exclusion. This was originally intended, and
it is q pity that too many are ready to betray
an honest Executive into such traps, and thus
impair his well-earned fame. Bullet him mod
ify his approval Of the plan Of the grounds south
of the Presidents House, so as not alone to Sc
cure carriage gateway for future military
Presidents, but to preserve the circular road
which has been recognised by repeated appro.
priations-for it is well known that the Com
mittee of Ways and Means had no idea that the
business intercourse of the southwestern part
of the city was to be completely cut off by this
scheme. Besides, the under-drainage by the
great sewers renders the scheme, If not imprac-
ticable now, at least very expensive, and the
progress of the age is very much ayerse to en-
croachments upon the rights Of the people. AS
the Commissioner of the Public Buildings is a
frank friend of the President, he viii doubtless
let him know the wishes Of THE Masses

CHINA AND CALIFoRNIA.-The San Francisco
journals are urging the construction of steamers
to ply between that port and China. The Pa
cifc Courier goes into details as to the manner
in which the proposed vessels should be built.
A few years must witness some great and
wonderful changes in the tendencies of com
merce and in the relative conditions of nations
as thereby affected. Soon the isthmus which
separates the two great oceans will be an open
thoroughfsre, and tides of trade win flow with
out obstruction Then the vast expanse of the
Pacific will spread out its attractions to COM
merce aud give easy access to the East, the land
of traditionary opulence. China and Japan
must soon feel the effects Of these momentous
approaches. The resistless current Of trade
must have its way, though it should sweep be-
fore it the wrecks Of institutions as old as the
annals of mankind.
From our Pacific coast we shall have COM
manding position rs it regards the commerce Of
the East. No other commercial country can
possess such advantages in that particular.
What new relations may grow up from state
of things now promising so auspiciously, time
can alone reveal; yet We may entertain the as
surance with confidence that the future results
whatever they may be, will tend to add to the
growth, the strength, and resources Of our Re
public, and to our permanent influence among
the nations Of the earth.--Bah, RpubAean.

THE EFFECTS OF THE LATE FROST. - The
main dependence of q large number Of persons
in the vicinity of the cities and villages is upon
the sale Of their fruit, which is always a cash
article in its season. We have heard of no Sec
ton this side the mountains" that has not
suffered ruinously, save along the lake shore;
there it was cold, and snow fell, but the "lake
fog" almost invariably protects the fruit from
these killing frosts, which are so common else
where.
We judge from the reports received that the
loss win be much greater than at first supposed.
East, west, and south of us, this side the noun
tains, the fruit and vegetables have been des-
troyed or greatly injured.
