CHAyCE OF CI.IukTE.--A writer IN the Nour.
tajo Democrat. discoTrs'nE upon the apparc' I
change which is working in the climate Of Ca
ifsrnia, attributes it to the Introduction of =
general and extensive system of urricuitnre aud
7 to the cuttin. down oi heavy forests thereby
exposing Il larger surlucc of thc country TO the
heat Of the sun. Where land is pl1Yed and
stripped Of its forests. il receives the direct rays
Of tho sun, because heated more than before,
and evaporation goes on rapidly. Besides this
the yapor carried in by the prevailing west wind
from the sol, instead Of being condensed and
absorbed by the crass-coyyred and cold hut dry

ace and comes IN contact with highly rariied
air at once ascend q TIE point Of condensation,
when clouds viii lie formed and the accumula-
ting vapar he precipi;atej to the earth in tie
form Of rain.
This theory is rational one ancorIant " tn
the phcnomeaa which have been observed in all
new countries on the continent of America: but
particularly in North America. where the causes
a'iTded to have prevailed most extensively
The writer from whom We cnudensc, concludes
by predicting that, il u general system Of acri-
culture is pursued for five years more, at the end
Of that period Of time there will be a sufficient
amount of rain to brnet to perfection and mature
all the grains, vegetables and fruits that are
grown in any part Of the world. And the time
will come when the citizens af California will
have as good reason to complain of too much
rair, as those who are now here have Of too little
rain.

betting ON EIec.inns.

II IS probable that million dollars have
been staked ii this State al ,ne on the elec-
| ton. That this immense sum has had q
powerful influence on voters, is beyond
question. Several members of the Legis-
lature at least owe their seats to the infu-
ence of bets. There are hundreds of men
whose political principles set so lightly up
on them that rather than see friend lose
a few hundred dollars on the election they
will vote against their real convictions of
right to save the money. There are humid
reds, too, in the earlier part of a canvass
who, not up to politics, have not taken a
choice. and who are decided by the bets of
a friend
Now, the purity of the ballot-box, should
be cardinal principle of republican gov
ernmcnts. There shonld be every exertion
made to secure the real sentiments of tile
people on election day. Older settled states
have made stringent laws to conserve the
purity of elections, and we ought to copy
the salutary example In New York a vot-
er is disfranchsed who bets on the result
Of the election. The law has been found
good one. We do not allow a legislator to
vote upon a question in which he is pccu-
niarily interested, nor juror to sit in jadg-
ment in his own case, nor a judge in like
circumstances. The rule should be carried
farther, 4 1 no man allowed to vote at an
election ca the result Of which he has mon
ey risked. Il would de even better to pun
ish men betting on e'ections severely. The
practice by all means should be discontin-
ued. 1t is worse than gambling, for its
evil effects go farther affecting the policy
of the country.
