A NEW WuEAT.--Mr. S. Louis Shaw, of
Eureka, Humboldt Bay, California, writes
to the Commissioner Of Patents that he has
recently procured the seed Of new kind
of wheat from a friend, who told him that
it was wild variety found in the Sierra
Nevada. Mr. S. had planted few kernels
last year, the yield of which was very large;
at least five hundred kernels for each one
that he planted. He enclosed few bits
of the straw of this wheat, because it was
solid instead of being hollow. From the
general appearance of the specimens thus
received, it is supposed to be variety nam
ed triticum rrolonicuna. of which numerous
experiments were made in England, prov
ing it to be entirely worthless so far as max
ing bread is concerned. The kernel itself
is very large, much larger than the com
mon varieties so generally used in this
county, Washington Union

OFFICIAL. APPOINTMENTS.-It is much to be
regretted, says the Sacramento Union, that the
Hon. A. c. Monson has been compelled to de-
cline the appointment Of Justice of the Supreme
Court in the place of Judge Heydenfeldt, re-
signed. rendered him by Governor johnson, and
we are satisfied that this regret will be sensiby
felt by all who have had an opportunity to in
form themselves of the peculiar fitness of that
gentleman for the position.
A correspondent of the s. F. Bulletin. writing
from Sacramento says Judge Monson has at
last determined not to accept the appointment
rendered him by the Governor. This will
doubtless surprise most of your readers as much
as it does many persons here. 1t is quite nov
city in California to find man unwilling to re-
cnive greatness when ii is thrust upon him. or
gets within his reach by any means. The rea-
son assigned is that doubts as to his eligibility
had previously bccN ntimated by the Supreme
Court. though the majority of the lawyers here
of contrary opinion. His Excellency will
have no difficulty in finding plenty of other law
yers from whom TO select. and among whom he
will run no risk of a second refusal. | wrote

was being taken. and the instant the result was
officially announced, the Governor signed it,
and the seal Of State was affixed to it. Mr. Lent

SOUND NATIONAL MORALITY.

FmLIBUsTERING PRoPENsITIEs OF THE AMERICAN Pro
PLE.-The inclination of the Americans to colonze,
they would call it, to ibuster it may perhaps
appropriately be denomnated, is beginning to at
the attention and excite the indignation of the world
1t is thought be inexcusabe in to covet that which
is neighbours when We have many millions Of acres
of land still lying wild and unoccuped There is no
giving territory too small and straitened
for our population There is no surplus multitude unable
to find employment and starving for lack Of soil wherein
to raise their bread is perhaps still wonderful
that thing SO manifesty wrong should call forth
heartier rebuke meet emphatic condemnation
from moral and religious people What explanation is
to be given of this There is suspicion that there
is among the people at large secret sympathy with
these proceedings. The true answer, presume, is
this it corresponds but too well with the conventional
morality of the worldly Mankind have always had the
moral infrmy endeayor to persuade themselves that
they might innoeently do evil that good might pro-
vded the good largely and manfesy preponderated
the evil The Americans fatter themselves that they
have the best Government and the most perfect cviza
ton in the world and is such an unreasonable
bestow it any country laborng under despotism
anarchy, bad government of any kind that it is
perfectly allowable to democracy repub
lcanism by the sword They have not improved their
patrimony they might, and therefore it is ustifabe
in another nation to take it away.
This is doctrine, but rather to be old
as history itself. But we hope that our Gov
eminent will be indsced by any consideration to
violate the principles of ndtus justice by permitting the
organization and emgrao. of adventures any foreign
State Navy and army ought to be put in requstion If
necessary to put stop far possible to all such h
clustering proceedings This is but in accordance with
the general principles of the Government and its pocy
and practice laid down in the late inaugural ofthe new
Observation-Disclosures Sun.
