A PRosPEcT OF CHEAP GooDs.-The S. T.
Prices Current, speaking of the business pros
perty of the last year, says this fact, and other
causes combined, have led to the shipment of
enormous quantities of merchandise in this di-
rection.
The vessels now on the way to California from
Atlantic ports, not including those which may
have sailed after the Goth November, is no less
than sipty-taco. This, we believe, is scarcely ex-
ceeded by the fleet :of 1853. They all, of course
bring cargoes sufficiently valuable to warrant
the voyage doubtless as much as those of SO.
These immense shipments will undoubtedly
cause great reduction in the price of all man
ner Of merchandise. The Prices Current, how
ever, argues that this great reduction in prices
will prove disastrous to the interests of all
classes-the consumer as well as the shipper
and trader. That paper says:
Low prices, if they were ever conducive to the
interests of any people, would not be so to the
people Of California. We have never prospered
SO well as when prices where what is called
high, or prospered less than when they were
low. High prices-that is to say remunerative
prices-stimulate industry and moreover, the
products of our own soil are enhanced III value
under such circumstances. When prices are
low, people are tempted to buy what they do
not want, and with money earned on the same
low scale; forgetful that everything is dear,
which is not needful to the sustainment Of life
or healthful or rational enjoyment, and the ad-
vance of mind or morals.

Christmas Day.

This is Christmas Day, the anniversary Of the
birth of Christ-of all the days of the year. the
gladdest, the holiest, the most glorious. To-day,
one thousand eight hundred and fifty eight years
ago, Christ the son of God, was clothed in flesh,
that he might live, suffer and die, to the end
that all men might be saved. These things of
course are familiar to all of us, and yet how
many of us will remember them in our manner
of celebrating the holy day.
Christmas is of course day when mems
hearts should be flied with gadness, theil
mouths with songs of praise. 1t is day for
feasting and rejoicing--and not for sombre
thoughts, solemn countenances, and grave yard
tones. The wise men of the East, when they
saw the STAR which "went before them, till il
came and stood over where the young child was,
did not clothe themselves in sackcloth nor
sprinkle themselves with ashes, nor yet raise
their voices in lamentation, but rejoiced with
exceeding great joy" The Angel of the Lord
announced to the shepherds the birth of our Sa-
viour rs good tidngs of great joy" and q
multitude Of the Heavenly host" celebrated the
event with shouts of praises, saying, Glory to
God in the highest, and on earth peace, good
will toward men,"
Thus, it is no day for gloomy thoughts, but
for praises, rejoicing and thanksgiving
however, the praises of the inebriate shout, nol
the rejoicing of the drunken tongue

UNwELooME News, IF TRUE.-The st. Louis
correspondent of the s. Z. Herald says:
The Washington correspondent of the St. Lou
is Republican learns from distinguished Wes-
tern Senator, who has lately conversed with Mr.
Buchanan on the subject of a Pacific Railroad
that the annual message will not urge in strong
terms the passage of railroad bill.
We don't believe this report. With the Missou-
ri Republican, we confidently " hope that there
may be some mistake about this, and that the
President will not only make the recommends
ton, but that he will make it the prominent
measure of his Administration"

Governor Denver.

Governor j. W. Denver, having resigned the
execuiiye Office of Kansas, much TO the regret of
the Administration, and we doubt not of the
,rbola country. has resumed his position as
Commissioner of Indian Affairs; Mr.. Mix yield
ing that office and reyerting to his original post
as chief clerk Of the bureau
Ofall the persons who have successively filled
the qoyernorshp Of Kansas, Mr. Denver is the
FIRST one who has succeeded in giving general
satisfaction to the people of the Territory and of
the Union at large. He is probably the first
Governor also, who has resigned the Office with
the regret of the whole country. His admins
tration has been at once firm, decided and peace
fnl. The law has been enforced violence has
been subdued, and order thoroughly established.
His course has been firm, straightforward, up
rirht and commanding the respect alike of Kan
sa and the Union. His conduct has been char
acterized by good sense and good faith his
measures having been just in themselves, and
in accordance with the instructions of the fede-
raj administration, between whom and himself
relations of the most perfect harmony and con-
Gdence have subsisted throughout. His admin
istration has been as unambitious as it has been
successful, and he has won the highest reputa-
ton for ability and capacity of all the Governors
of Kansas, simply by quiet, firm and unoSten-
tatious discharge of the duties of his office. We
do not recollect that Governor Denver has mvde
a single stump speech during his whole admin
istratiou. The telegraph has had few of his for
NAL progresses through the Territory to herald,
and no " sensation" bulletins concerning him
to retail to professional agitators in the East
He has addressed the people of Kansas with
Rertinence and effect; but his address was, with
NOD taste, raledictory, on resigning his
once. The universal sentiment of the country in
regard to Governor Denver we dare say, is one
Of regret that he was not the Governor of Kan
sas long before, and that he cannot be its Gov
ernor while she continues to be Territory 1t
will be difficult to fill Governor Denyer's place.

CosT OF RAnRoADs.-Siuce 1880, nearly 27,-
900 miles Of railway have been built in the Uni
ted States, which hare cost, on an average,
about $685. per mile, or SsI5, 900. Many
miles of these roads cost several hundred thou
sand dollars each many others cost perhaps as
low as $4,000 each. We have expressed the
belief that a road between this place and Red
Bluff could be built for 81 100000 or $4,000
per mile. Persons better capable of judging,
think $4,000 per mile, or little over million
dollars, would be sufficient to build q railroad
between Shasta and Red Bluffs.

tion of numerous ponderous books, and at last
came to the conclusion that his constituents had
not clothed him with any such authority. He
therefore tied the knot in the name and by the
asehority of the people of Trinity.

The Wand---NIelOney Case.

Mrs. Wand has published card, denying in
troler Meloney by her husband, when he was
supposed to be lying at the point of death. She
says she and Meoney are entirely innocent
Controller Meloney, at the latest dates receiv-
ed, had made no public contradiction CT the acts
charged by Wand.
| A Sacramento correspondent of the Sock
ton Republican says that he has investigated all
the facts, and that Mcloney is innocent, and that
Mrs. Wand's card mot then published,) would
prove him so. We regret to say that Mrs. Wands S
card contains no proof of the kind. The same
writer thinks the first publication made of the
affair was the result of political hostility; and
the Stockton Republican calls it a conspiracy to
injure the character of the Controller This is
all very nonsensical or else it is the most ex-
traordinary conspiracy ever before heard of-in
which the part of one Of the actors is to try to
put ball through his wifes heart and his own
head and all that the Controller shall be DO
ltically injured
Every fair minded man will readily conceive
that Mr. Meloney may be innocent, and the VIC
tim OF circumstances jealous man is to q
certain extent insane. Jealousy a is the green
eyed monster, which doth make the meat it feeds
on" Therefore the charges of jealous man,
even though he make them at a time when he
thinks he is dying, are not to be taken as abso-
lutely true-especially when we have against
them long, upright and honorable life. There
fore, if Col. Meloney be innocent, let him make
plain statement of the circumstances accom-
panied by denial under oath Of the charges
and he will find that his word, in connection
with his previous honorable bearing in all the
relations of public and private life, will outweigh
thousand statements of a partially insane man
