9TH Of March.

The inauguration Of President at the
Capitol of the nation, takes place to-day.
and from accounts of the preparations which
have reached us, Washiuton will be crowded
with the representatives from every part Of
the republic. to witness the national cerelno-
ny and to make sure Of 4 fat Office. Califor-
MIA and Oregon are represented, for though
distant thousands Of miles from the capital,
they are pcopled with patriots who are will
ing to serve their country and if not per-
mtted to do that, are able to meet the ex-
pense of the trip, for the purpose Of seeing
the show.
There is this day universal confidence
perrad;ng the nation, which would not have
been realized, was it Mr.. Daohapnn's oppo-
nents who to-day assumed his scat in the
Presidential chair. 1t would not have beer
the inauguration of an experiment. and one
that might have resulted in the dismember-
ment of the Union, and the downfall of the
American Government. 1t might have re-
suited differently. it is true, AMI had the
Republicans succeeded in electiug their can
didate, every true patriot would have
breathed a prayer to Heaven that it might
rebound to the homer, prosperity, and glory
of the country. AS it is, however, we be-
lieve that the bitterest opponents of the
Democratic party feel confident that the ad-
ministration inauguerated to-day, will con-
duce to the continued prosperity of our in
stitutions 1t is proud day for the country,
and a prouder one for the Democratic party.
1t is proper that 0rovile should do some
thing to commemorate the day. 1t may
mortify the authorities of Washington if
we permit the day to pass without demon
stration.

The interest taken in the repeal of the
usury laws is taken wide range. The mer
chants of New York are presenting earnest
and numerously signed petitions to the Leg
upon the use of money. They allege that
money has become an article of mer-
chandize, aud that its value depends upon
the demand and supply, and that it is as un
reasonable to fix the price of money as it
would be to regulate that of pork and flour
by legislative enactment.
The same question is warmly discussed in
Pennsylvania, and in Indiana also. We no.
tice a movement i'll the Legislature Of Hi
nois for an abrogation of the usury laws,
and for leaving the rates of interest to be
fixed by contract 1t is argued that money
should be left as other commodities, to de-
termine It's ow2 value. according to the sup
ply and demand of the markct The argu-
ments of those favoring the repeai OF all
usury laws, are that with the removal of all
restrictions upon the use of money, the sup
ply would increase in proportion to the de.
mand. and consequently that the price would
rule lower than it does now, as it would
bring into the field of competition many cap
italists now fearful of jeopardizing principal
and interest, on accoun. of established rates
The Pittsburgh Post argues that &c but for
the constant and successful evasion of the
usury laws, they woul be felt an intolercble
nuisance, depressing all business, and at
times producing ruinous consequences.

California Navigation Company who came up
on the Gazelle, passeG off in fine style. The
hilarity and flow of spirits was kept up sway

meeting adjourned, so great and universal
was general good feeling, that the writer
consented to walk home with the Sheriff. 1t
was wholly an impromptu affair, no regular
programme or toasts being provided for the
occasion, but each proceeded as the spirit
seemed to move him, and fast and thick
flowed the wit, speeches and toasts We

to act as reporter of the proceedings, altho'

The liberalty of the Steam Navigation
Company in sending a steamer to Oroviile at
this particular juncture, is worthy of all
praise, and exhibits liberality and enter
prise peculiarly characteristic of California.
At the moment when an ungenerous and
mean rivalry was about to declare by legis
lative enactment, that Feather River should
not be navigated above certain point, the
Company have stepped forward and demon
strated TO the State at large, that the river,
unimproved, can be navigated to Oroville a
portion Of the year, and there is no longer a
doubt but what snail outlay will render it
navigable the year round. No- is this all !;
the Company have rendered the Sacramento
river navigable for over one hundred miles
OF course it was for their advantage to in.
crease the navigable waters of the State, but
it was also for the benefit of the upper por-
ton the State, increasing the facilities for
transit and the value of property.
1t is important that our business men and
citizens should encourage this enterprise by
every means in their power. We have the
authority of Capt. Whitney, one of the Vice
Presidents of the Company. for stating that
it is the intention to make regular trips to
Oroyille if the business will sustain it. The
boat will return to 0roville as soon as car
'go of freight shall be procured for her, and
it is to be hoped that our business men will
take measures to receive their freight by
the boat, and thus secure steam communica-
ton with the cities below, bring trade and
capital to Oroville, and secure prosperity
for the future unexcelled by her pest magic
achievements Let them do this, and they
will soon be able to make it an object for
traders at Wyandotte, Forbestown, and the
entire section of Plumas, to procure their
goods from this point and thus will an i'm
petus be given to Oroyillc which will place
her in the first rank of mining cities i'll the
State, position to which she is entitled by
her location, by her natural resources and
her facilities for direct communication with
the seaport towns of the State. Our bust
ness men should encourage the steamer Ga
zelle, and sustain her in making regular
trips, as by so doing, they will make Oro-
Vile an inland citw which even the scourge
of fire cannot destroy. If we but second the
efforts of the Navigation Company, their
steamers will be regular visitants to our
landing, and as heretofore, the prosperity
and advancement of Oroville will continue
to astonish even California towns by the
rapidly of her Advancement in all that con
stitutes the permanent wealth and prosper
ity CT California cities.

Californians will read the account of the
arrest of Myers F. Truett in New York,
with feelings of mingled pity and disgust,
for the craven spirit of the Vigilance move
ment. The crowd collected in New York
merely to get sight of a member of the
executive portion of the committee, seems
to have induced the belief in M. Truett's
mind that he was to be summarily dealt
with, and sent unannointed and unannealed,
into the presence of the committees victims.
After having concealed himself for months
in New York, his nerves could not stand the
shock of being brought before the crowd as
sembled to witness the departure of the
steamer, and like the Vigilante- Captain
theatrical performer Johns, he appealed TO
the crowd to protect him, and the Spartan
reply of the New YORK boys mast have been
sweeter than the balm of Gilead to his
conscience, and being safely locked in jail
was doubtless, great relief to him. Well
may the Vigilance members live in rear and
trembling. The inyentor of the Guillotine,
persisted by that instrument, and who can
say but what those who consigned victims
to death by mob violence, will not perish by
their inven ion, Mr.. Truet's fright, will
doubtless, enable him, hereafter, to appreci-
ate the feelings of a human being sur
rounded by mob clamoring for his life
blood Those which impcl human being
to commit suicide in his cell, he may not
have yet learned from experience. But
why don't some of the ''purest and best"
90 over to York and bail him out Or will

leers and compel the New York authorities
to turn him loose?

THE RIvER.-The arrival of the Barge shoalwater
direct from Sacramento to Oroville, freighted with
merchandise, should convince our business men and
those interested in the prosperity and advancement
OF the county, that Feather River can be naviga;ed to
this point by of light draught. And sufficient
has already transpired this sgbiect, to convince
themfu further, that ifthey would have steamer run
TO Oroville, it must be accomplished by their
exertions. We must build boat ourselves. No
sooner does a Steamer make known her intention of
coming TO 0roville. than she is bought of by capital
lists whose interests lie in another direction, such
influences brought TO bear bring about an
abandonment of the undertaking Oroville must
help herself, and the sooner she sets about it, the
better will it be for all her interests. Captain Daniels
of the Barge now here, thinks the River be
igated with very little trouble, at al OF the
year He was the first man who n Barge to Ma
rysville: and also the first to force barge into the
waters of the Upper Sacramento. His Barge now
here is but the pioneer OF steamers TO connect us
with the lower cities, if take proper view of the
matter. and proceed to action. A Steamer can be
built here in Orovile with the exceptions of her
chinery. Shall it | e done?
