Con. Denyer's Views on the Mineral
Land Questton.

In a recent letter, addressed to Capt. c. Welsh,
of San Francisco, upon the subject of the right
to the minerals, Gen. Denver expresses the folz
lowing views:
In all this matter however, have been amaz
zed that the State authorities have never once
asserted the States rights to these mines. The
mines of precious metals are part of the emf
nent domain. The eminent domain belongs
alone to the sovereign authority. The State
Government is the only sovereign authority in
California. The United States Government is q
great land owner in the State, and may exercise
the rights of ownership over what are usually
denominated "public lands" but that is no
more than any other landholder might do She
is not the sovereg power and has no right to
the eminent domain. She cannot, for instance,
grant the right of way for railroad or other
public Improvements tn rough lands belonging
to citizens of the State, but may give the right
of way to pass through her own lands nor can
she dispose of lands covered by nayigable wa
ters. Such acts pertain to the sovereignty, and
can be done only by the sovereign authority.
According to the Spanish, Mexican and Eng
lish common law the mines of precious metals
belong to the sovereignty, and are part of the
eminent domain. So long as our mines are left
free for all to work, they ought to be let alone,
but the State ought never to allow any infringe
iicne oi nOi sofSlSiSu IlSuIS, no IndlleE IrQfn
what source 1t comes. | am very clearly of
opinion that all the mines of precious metals,
found on lands which have been granted to indi-
yiduals by the Spanish or Mexican Governments
in the present State of California, belong to the
State AID am equally clear in the opinion that
the United States have no right to dispose of any
OF the mines found in the public lands. They
are part of the eminent domain, belonging to
the sovereignty, and the State has the right to
regulate the manner in which they shall be
worked, as she has done by the Act of 1850 or
1851 The United States may sell the land, but
the State may then step in by virtue of her SOW
ereign power, and establish rules and regula=
tions for working the mines, or she may do it
before, as above stated.
The people ought never to lose sight of these
various rights, nor confound the rights of own
ership in property with the right of eminent do
main-the rights of the individual with the
rights of the sovereign power.

The Approaching Revolution in Cuba.

The New Orleans correspondent of the San
Francisco Bulletin, writing on the Iath of Janu-
AIRY last, after stating that Gen, Rennsau, of the
Spanish Army, was in that city comforting with
members of the Cuban party-that there were
5000 Americans already on the Island-that
Gen. Renneau was soon to leave for Cuba, to
take the lead in revolution which was to be par
ticipated in by the Americans, continues this
Your correspondent was informed that Gen.
Concha had made oyertures to certain promi-
nent men in Cuba, to the effect that if they
would guarantee him large sum of money
(say $40, ,o00, ,000,) and put him at the head of
affairs, he would engage to put the whole forces
of Spain on the Island ID their power; that these
men had agreed to Conchas propositions, and
that he had connived at the Introduction of
large number of Americans into the Island, un-
der the pretence of their being brought there to
assist in the manufacture of sugar and tobacco;
and that the Government at Washington had
been taken into their confidence, and had pro-
missed to recognize them as a free and indepen-
dent nation as soon as their declaration was
made public. All this Gen. Renneau states upon
his honor to be facts, and he has many docu-
ments to back his assertions. He came here to
make some arrangements about the money,
which it is necessary to raise; and learn that
he has been successful to the extent of his wish
es, and will return to Cuba as soon as certain
dispatches arrive from Washington. In the mean
time, he has issued commissions to certain par
ties who have signifed willingness to enlist
under the banner of Independent Cuba.
WILL THERE BE A CHANGE IN THE CABINET p
We hear this question frequently asked. We
confess that all the usual signs indicate an af,
firmative response. The President favors specific
duties, " and says they are the best, if not the
only means for securing the revenue against
false and fraudulent Invoices On the other
hand, Mr.. Cobb, his Secretary of the Treasury
says, "lf frauds have been practiced upon the
revenue, it is not owing to our present ad-
valorem SYSTEM So that it would seem impera-
tive, if Mr.. Buchanan would have his views
carried out, that Mr.. Cobb shall give way to
some one whose views on this most important
question will accord with those of the President.
But to show how great is the difference between
the President and his Secretary, we quote the
following contrast of their views, taken from the
Alexandria (Va.) Gazette:

BSZy- The Nevada National, in speaking of the
movements of the politicians, some of whom are
endeayoriag to make the nomination for the next
Governorship the test of popularity for Sena-
torship," says |'The Democracy are called upon
to worship calf, and twine bays around its
head because it bellows very like bull" Does
the National mean to intimate that a political
" calf" can be nominated for Governor? and
that when nominated Democrats will be required
to twine bays around its head because it bell
lows very like bull, and then send it on to the
United States Senate If so--inasmuch as the
S. F. National pronounces the Democracy of its
Nevada namesake ofthe purest water--we would
like it to state which of the aspirants "bellowsH
most "like q bull" Our opinion is-if the ca
pacity of a political calf to below most like
buH, is to be made the test of qualification for
Gubernatorial and Senatorial honors-that our
either the Assembly or Senate So Messrs
Denver, Gwin, Weller, Washington, Latham,
McCorkle, McDoagal, and SO forth, may well
direct their aspirations downwards.
BELAcosE.-0n the passage of the Broderick
resolutions in the Assembly, on the Sd inst,
msmbers got very mad, and some of them froth=
ed at the mouth. The majority sprung the pre-
vious question-which under the circumstances
was not brave, showing, as it did, that the ma
jority we're afraid to hear what those opposed to
the resolutions had to say. Charley De Long
got rantankerous ndjumped stiff-legged, where
upon the Speaker ordered him under arrest
dered under arrest. The Assembly cauldron
went on boiling over in this manner until tho
deed was done, and set of resolutions passed
which every man who voted for them knew con-
tanned an unqualified falsshood. But these Bru-
fuses are doubtless all, all q honorable men.p

OTTAWA PREMIUMS AT THE NATIONAL FAIR.
Tho National Fair at Chicago was SO
large concern, and the prospect was,
that there would be so much competition
for the premiums from all parts of the
country, that our Ottawa mon We're too
modest Of their wares and animals to ven
ture largely into the ring.
Messrs. Cogswell Il Mathewson, however,
of Ottawa, had a corn harvester of their
own invention, which they believed was
little ahead of anything else in that line,
and ventured to place 1t in competition
with half dozen of similar machines
The result showed that they did not over
estimate the merits of their bantling for
It took the first premium.
Mr. Edward Eames was still bolder. Of
all departments at the fair, none promised
to be better filled or to show more excel
lence than that of horses The best nagS

were sure to be there; and so it was. Yet
Mr. E had a carriage animal" Jenny

suit was that he bore Off the palm, against
