HE CALIFORNIA CHIrEsE.-Its seems
from all accounts that the Chinese who
recently thronged by hundreds and thou
sands to the shores of our I'll Dorado ~
the West, have become disguised with
the country, and with the conduct of the
"barbarians" who inhabit it, and are re-
turning in large numbers TO their Celas-
iiai nome. A great many are still pour
ing into The country, but these bear a
81 proportion TO the home-goers.-
hey complain Of being subject to con-
slant lmpositions from parties pretend
ing TO be tax collectors who, under the
plea Of license to dig, take from them ali
they can make. This practice thew as
sert, is carried on very extensively
whenever they happen to pitch upon 4

We fully indorse his opinions, and be-
lieye his proposed remedy would be sa-
fer:
One Of the worst features in the fl
nancial system of the counties, towns,
and incorporated villages Of this state,
lis the power to issue orders in payment
of debts. AS general rule, with
scarcely an exception, all such issues
are deprecated from date, from 5 to so
per cent. Those who take such trash
in payment for work must loose to The
amount of the depreciation, or charge
the difference in the form Of exta price.
Buyers are few, and have direct in
terest in depreciating such paper, and
destroying public credit. The result is
uniform and certain. Industry must
loose the bread it has earned, or the
public finances must suffer.
The best remedy for this evil is to
root it out by legislative enactment.
When cur village assessments are COM
pleted, aid it is known definitely what
amount of tax will be raised, loan may
always be effected by pledging the fund,
at reasonable rate compared with the
loss from using orders. No work ought
ever TO he undnrfakeu nu1ass tha r,o,~o..
is ready to pay for it; and such sys-
TEN would, on an average, save 80 per
cent. on all public work, and ensure
certainty and promptness in its execu-
ton
The new charter of Milwaukee, in
substance makes an order mere GER
tiiicate to the treasurer of the sum due
the holder; and in case the alderman OF
any ward issue more orders than there
are funds TO pay in any year, they are
held responsible for the same.

Fl Hint to Turkey and .Gmerica.-
The London Daily News, by the Afri-
ca, contains the following suggestion :
Turkey wants money, and America has
too much money. Turkey has more
territory than she can well keep, and
America has natural thirst for extern
sion of territory. Why don't Turkey
sell the Yankees port +? 1t might both
pay and please Brother Jonathan very
well, if the spot was well chosen, whilst
freedom in Europe would find new
rallying point"

1853 1,8l5,44S
It may appear strange that the totals
before and after 1851 exhibit higher
than they do for that year, and that the
two highest valuations are in l849 and
l853-the latter being the greatest by
only 1920, 1853. The figures of our as
SCISSORS indicate that Grant County is
worth only $l2o,l63 more in 1853 than
it was in l849-five years before. For
our part we believe they are nearly
yight-that there is no great difference
IN the true valuation Of property for
those years.
The drain of persons, property and
money for California commenced fairly
in l849, though the chief effect upon
property and business was not fully ex-
hibited till one or two years after. The
greatest amount Of money, stock and
other property was taken from the
county in l852-since then, the outge
has been comparatively nothing. The
deficiency of 1852 was nearly supplied
The same year, by emigration from the
east, and by returned Californians. The
gain in that way exceeded perhaps any
estimate made at the time. There was
however, a deficit as compared with
l849, which has been fully balanced and
oyerrun in 1853. From the total Of as
sessments Of the present year, as COM
pared with l849. Grant County is once
more in the ascending scale over any
former year; and from every appear
ance in the world, next years assess
ments will foot up over two millions.
1t is rule among economists, that SO
long as the aggregate of valuations on
property in any country continue TO fig
ure upwards, the people are prosper
ing and property is not depreciating.--
The best way we can think Of TO illus
trate this rule, is TO compare the aggre-
gate valuations of 1850 and 1851, when
the scale ran downwards, while ruin
was proclaimed from every mouth-with
the Valuations vf 1854 an1 1859, when
property recovered value and labor re-
sumed its legitimate channals at fair
equivalent. It is fresh in the memory
of all that at the precise time when the
excess OF departures Of persons and
property took place, our troubles COM
menced /; and so soon as tile excess got
on the other leaf of the ledger, then ev-
cry eye frightened, and JOY was IN ev-
cry face. If persons would pay atten-
ton TO some Of the simple rules of over
and under currents in trade and popu-
lation, all these matters would be plain,
as well in the dim future as in the past
1t is plain proposition that the mi
ming region will gain more from Califor-
MIA, than is lost, and as plain that more
will be gained in the mines than will be
gained by any other particular part Of
the country-although our region has
been the greatest temporary loser. OF
the 800 departures, more than half will
return: We mean that most of the per-
sons Of any value and worth will return
while the more worthless part of the
emigration viii remain in California. II
was gain to lose many who went, and
it will be gain over all loss to well
come back majority of the balance
On fair average, those returning will
bring back more than was taken away
by twice their number.

gEPATcH Grove has been divided, and a
new Town erecteG-surnamed and christened
MILLvnLE. Patch Grove as it was, is not,
but Patch Grove is stii-a Town. The divi-
sion will not suit all, though most all believed
in dividing, because the Town was too large
for convenience. The new Town of Mii'vills
includes large area of Territory, and will
soon call for a division. Fennimore, the lar
gest town in the county, will also want to di-
vide, and perhaps Beetown. Towns ought
moi to divide so long as it can be reasonably
avoided.

We had rather come down on the price
at which candles are selling: 20 cents

such price--oniy in monopoly by St.
Louis and Gaiena lobbers. St Louis
merchants put them up on our mer-
chants. Galena twaddles in the foot
steps of St. Louis, and country store
keepers in theirs. The country may
thank the Lord, that Chicago and New

of Railroads, TO stop this monopoly

candles and other necesSaries of life

Of hawking his products through the

If railroads do monopolize over other
means of poriation, they are the
very bane Of little mean monopolies in
