co.aress-An Ertra session.

The latest dates received from Washington
are to February Path. Up to that date Con-
gress had done nothing towards increasing the
revenue, and as only one week Of the session
remained, there is little probability that any
arrangements were perfected to provide means
for carrying on the government until the meet
ing of the next Congress. The Pennsylvania
delegation, backed by the President, have ta-
ken advantage of the depleted condition OF the
Treasury to force upon the country protec-
tive tariff; the Southern members and the DEM
ocrats Of the West have taken firm stand
against the Presidents policy, and both the Re-
publicans and protectionists we're opposed to q
new loan.
1t is barely possible that an act was passed
re-instating, for one or two years, the revenue
tariff of 1886, which il is estimated will afford
ample revenue to support the government. The
Democratic members Of the House, with the
exception Of the Presidents satellites from
Pennsylvania, approved of this measure, but
without the assistance Of the latter II could not
pass the House. The only choice left for the
President was either to give up bis anti-Demo-
cratic theory Of protection, and use his ihhu-
ence to revive the tariff Of 1916, or to adopt
the somewhat hazardous course Of calling an
extra session Of Congress.
If an extra session is called, the organization
of the next House of Representatives will inev-
itably be thrown into the hands Of the Republi-
cans. In most Of the Southern States the
members will not be elected until late in the
fall, and some of them, at least, would be un-
represented Special elections for Congress
men can only be held by virtue Of acts Of the
several State Legislatures, and the length OF
time that would be consumed in calling extra
sessions of the Legislatures, passing the neces-
sary acts, giving the proper notice, and receiv-
ing the returns, would render 1t impracticable,
for the States that have not yet elected their
members to even attempt it. When the extra
session was called in 1s41 many Of the States
were not represented in the lower House, and
the same will be the result should an extra ses-
sion be held this year.
Under the circumstances, 1t is quite certain
that the President will not call Congress to-
gether, before the regular time for meeting, if
be can possibly avoid 1t.

TEE HEsPERIAN.-We are indebted to J. E.
Hamlin for the March number of the Hsspcrian.
This excellent magazine, edited by Mrs. F. H.
Day, is now published monthly, and its typo
graphical appearance has been greatly improv-
ed. The number before us, contains life-like
likeness of Mr.. Geo. G. Yount, n early Califor-
mia pioneer, together with short sketch Of his
eventful life. Mrs. Day promises to give = &C.
ries of sketches of the pioneers Of this State, in
future numbers The Resperian is worthy Of q
liberal patronage.

EFFECT OF FROST ON PEACH TREES. fol
lowing from the California Farmer, is worthy
the attention of fruit growers,
Peach trees are now coming in bloom, and
there is considerable danger attending those
that are in warm exposure. The experience
that we have now of the liability to injury to
which early blossoming trees are subjected,
should call the attention of orchardists and gar
deners, when planting those varieties that bios.
som early, to place them where the morning
sun will not touch them until some three or
four hours after rising; by this time all the frost
that has rested upon the blossoms over night
will have been extracted by the atmosphere
warmed by the suns rays before those rays
strike the blossoms. and thus all danger will
have passed. 1t should be born in mind that it
is not the frost alone that does the injury, but
the action of the sun upon the boss ON and leaf
while the frost is upon and in them. Trees al
ready exposed can be easily saved from danger
or loss of fruit, by showering with fresh water
as the sun rises, and continuing the showering
process until all the frost is extracted. With a
little observation during the practice of show
ering, the operator can see the frost, when very
severe, drop off in scales of ice. Continue, dur
ing the SUMS rising. to shower water over the
trees, and you will save your fruit.

THAT DECIsIoN.-In our last issue, para
graph appeared stating that the Supreme Court
had decided that bitches arc not subject to liens,
and that they are not such property as can be
mortgaged. In the case of Ellison Us. the Jack
son Water Co., the Court held that under the
acts of 1855 and 1856, a ditch is not such prop
erty as can be held on mechanics lien. 1t
seems that tho lien law was modified in 1857,
but whether or not dtOhes are such property
as come within its provisions, remains to be de-
termined. In the same case, the Court held
that ditch property could not be mortgaged be-
fore the ditch is constructed.
The Journal in alluding to this subject says
that, by relying on the brains Of others in place
Of our own we made very silly announcement.
This we admit had we read the decision We
should not have made the announcement. ct least
so fur as mortgages are concerned but as it is
very seldom we are led into such errors we
trust our readers will excuse US. Errors will
occasionally find their way into the most care
fully conducted papers but from the great
number that appear every week in the Journal
we are forced to conclude that the editor Of
that sheet would avoid many silly announce
ments If he would place no reliance whatever
on his own brains, but rely altogether on the
brains of others. For instance, in his last issue,
he spoke of the Irishmen having celebrated the
anniversary of the birth Of St. Patrick, when
most any one could have Informed him that the
-Irishmen never celebrate ST. Patrick's birth
day. In its issue Of the week previous, the
Journal gives the following as the price Of pas
sage on the steamers, from SaA Francisco to
New York: First cabin, one dollar and . half;
I'd cabin, one dollar steerage, fifty cents.
Equally silly announcements have appeared in
almost every issue of the Journal for several
years past, and are likely to continue, unless
the editor can be induced to discard his own
brains altogether.

EUROPE latest intelligence from Europe
is to Feb 18th. The advices are of a warlike
character, and the action of the French Gov
ernment goes far to weaken the the confidence
of the Emperor's expressions of desire for
peace. Warlike preparations are still contin-
ucd on large scale in all the naval and mill
tary departments OF France. Extensive prep
arations are also going on in Austria, and the
movement Of troops towards the italian from
tier still continued. The European money mar
kets we're luctuating, and government securi-
ties had downward tendency.

CAMPToNvILLE.-Our neighbor on the other
ridge has been the scene of quite warlke ex-
citement during the present week. First there
was a desperate personal encounter between
two men, one OF whom hacked the others arm
nearly off-according to report-and cut his
head with short sword, and was then disarm-
ed by the wounded man who retalated on him
severely with his own weapon. We can learn
no further particulars. 1t was reported that a
duel was about to come off between two we'll
known citizens, but the difficulty has since been
peaceably arranged Hydraulic Press.

The ATTACHMENT LAw.-When we spoke, last
week, of the attachment law, now pending be-
fore the Legislature, we were led to believe
that IL provided for pro rata distribution Of
the property of the attached debtor. It seems,
however, that the bill which has passed the Sem
ate, merely revives the old attachment law of
1851. We believe il is almost the universal
sentiment of the business community that the
present attachment law is preferable to the old
one.

RETREScHMENT.-Severa collection districts
in California have been abolished by Congress;
the salary Of the Collector at San Francisco
has been reduced to 5000; Naval Officer to
1000; Surveyor of the Port to 5000, and sub
ordinates in proportion. The appropriations
for the California Indian Agency, which has
heretofore been 100000 per annum, has this
year been cut down to $4,000. Congress is
applying the knife in the right place.

APLAGUE OF SPARRows.-From several quar-

complaints Of the sparrows, which are now
somewhat plenty on FARMS and in gardens in

SONS Of hundreds Of fruit trees in this city, thus
cutting off all hopes of crop for the present
season. What we are to do with this annoy
ance is not suggested, but that something must
be done to check their ravages is very evident.

MARYsvILLE CITY ELECTION.

The election for city officers Of Marysville,
took place on Monday, and the Democracy
have achieved glorious victory. The Le-
compton candidates for Marshal and City Clerk
were successful, while the Democracy elected
the Mayor, Recorder, Treasurer, Assessor, and
eight of the twelve Aldermen. The average
majority for the Democratic ticket is about
$50 votes For the office of Mayor the vote
stands: Singer, (dem.) s2l; TOmpkins, (adm.)
664-Singer,s maj. 157.
The Marysville Democrat, alluding to the re-
suit, says:
1.-THE hour is too late for us to dwell at any
length upon the proud triumph that we have
won Suffice it to say that the main Douglas
ticket has been elected in its entirety, with but
two exceptions, and majority of the Douglas
Aldermen. The test was made upon Mayor,
the head of the ticket, and it will be seen that
the majority for the Douglas Democratic can
didate is one that tells the tale decisively.-
Marysville therefore sends greeting to the
Democracy of the State at large, and calls for
one long, loud peal of responsive triumph from
San Diego to Siskiyou, and from the heights OF
the Sierra Nevada to the rock-bound shore OF
the Pacific"
