be converted into money at any moment and the

1t may be usefulto state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on
which interest Is payable in gold. on the Sd day
Of March, 1851. was sos ,9G5 900. The interest
on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be
SIS 1897 l26, while the customs revenue in gold
for the currcn: fiscal year ending June 30, 1861,
has been so far at the ratio Of over SI00, 900 600
per annum.
It sill be seen that even the present gold rove-
nues ofthe Gov eminent are largely in excess of
the wants Of the treasurer for the payment OF
gold interest while the recent increase Of the tar

The Alta of Saturday says: The Union
States give a joint majority Of $50, 600 for
Lincoln, and after subtracting McClellan's
majorities we have net majority Of 322 $50,
without the soldier vote, which will add co.
900 to Lincoln's majority.
Besides having popular majority OF more
than quarter Of million OF votes, and hav-
ing all the States, save three, we have more
than three fourths OF the House OF Represen-
tatives, and more than that proportion OF the
Senate. This is the most complete triumph
achieved in the Presidential contests OF the
United States. No Administration has had
SO large majority in both Houses Of Con-
gress, or SO large q popular majority. We
have not within our reach the figures OF the
popular vote for President previous to 1924,
but in that year the total vote was 3o0,OOO,
and we may reasonably presume that the
vote was much less at all the previous cleo
tons, and the only campaign in which there
was a lively contest was that Of ioOO. In
1854, "A, '48, '56 and go, the President elect
had no majority, but only plurality. Jack
sens majority was 1888, 1874 in ~, and LOT,
3l3 in 80; Van Buren's was 24,SN; Har-
rison's was Isl ,039; and Pierce's VIA 81, 1859.
We thus see there Is as little in the figures
as there is in the principles Of the opposition
party to encourage them in their hopes for
the future. There is no reason for them to
feel proud Of the result Of the contest, or to
feel confident about the principles Of the next
platform. By the bad judgment Of their
leaders, and by their refusal u support the
Administration, when it was mRnifestly right
and when such support was clearly the duty
Of every good and intelligent citizen, they
have fallen to a point where they can neither
agree among themselves nor look forward
with any trust Of success to the future.

VALUABLE MINERALS IN CALIFORNIA
We often hear outside Of California of the
high value and extended use of metals and
minerals which abound in immense deposits
in the Pacific domain. Bismuth, which is
extensively used in type making and the me-
chanics arts, and is now very scarce and high,
is said to be found plentifully in some Of our
mineral formations Anthony exists in i'm
mense masses near the TETON, and can be
carried away from the. top Of the ground, of
very rich quality, and is said to contain a
handsome ley Of silver. Zinc and tin, which
are now very expensive metals, are met with
in valuable lodes in the counties Of Mono and
Los Angeles. Chronic iron is found in i'm
mense abundance in Monterey and other
southern districts. Iridium, osmium and
platina are not scarce in the gold washings of
klamath and Del Nofte counties, and discov-
cries of these have also been made in Idaho.
The sulphur deposits Of Clear Lake and those
of Nevada are on a magnificent scale and Of
the purest quality. Borax can be gathered
by bushels nearly free from extraneUus mat
ter. and there is no end of it, seemingly, in
the mountains Of Lake county, where obsidi-
an or volcanic glass, ready to make wine bot
dies al blow, is as plentiful as the world
wants. true mine Of glass. or porcelain
CLAW of the finest quality there is no end; and
of lumber, TERRA sienna, paint ochres OF differ
emit colors, manganese and manganesian
earths there is great plenty. As California
has some of the purest aluminous clays In
abundance, the new metal alumlna could
likely be probably made. As to coPper@s,
soda, alum, jasper, agate, ehalcedony, hemat.
lite and such substances, there Is no emo OF
them. Il would be interesting and important
to the owners Of lands in which the various
minerals above mentioned exist, to learn the
markets and places Of demand for them IN
Europe and the Atlantic States, and the prices
which they ordinarily command thers.-S.F'

Inseresting Trial of Heavy Ord
nnnCe.

Some interesting details in reference to
the comparative uses Of smooth-bore and RI
fed guns for certain uses have been lately
developed by trial at Washington. The
telegraphic report of the proceedings, says;
The guns used in the practice were 200
FOUNDER PARROTS and the l5-inch Rodman.
The guns were fred at elevations ranging
from eight to fifteen degrees, and the remark
able scientific fact was developed that at the
extreme elevation of fifteen degrees the
range and time Of flight Of the smooth bore
and the rified gun were nearly the same.
The practice was as follows The rifled gun
fifteen degrees Of elevation; time Of flight,
sixteen and oue-sixth seconds; range, four
thousand five hundred yards. The fifteen
inch gun, same elevation time Of flight, six
teen and two-ffths seconds range, forty-two
hundred and fifty yards. At a point blank
range the ffteen-inch guns strike the water
near the fort with ricochet rebounding from
the water fifteen or twenty times. The dan
gerous field is nearly two miles, and when
the great weight OF the projectiles from the
fifteen-inch gun is recollected, it would be
seen that a feet of vessels exposed to this
dangerous field would have both their sides
penetrated by this missile, as it leaped along
the water with its irresistible momentum,
making succession ofAat trajectories, which
would not go over, at their greatest height,
the bulwark of any ordinary vessel. The RI
cochet shot from u smooth-bore gun has
this advantage over one from rifed gun,
that the former continues on in straight
course, while the flight of the latter is cratic,
and sinks, when fired on the water, after the
first or second leap. Not only do the smooth
bore guns possess superior advantages from
the ricochet when fired over the water, but
they are also able to do superior execution
with grape and canister against an assault
ing party on shore, each discharge being like
the explosion of a mine. The impression of
all the officers and experts witnessing the
practice of to-day was unexpectedly in favor
of the smooth-bore gun.
As usual in these reports, the charge is en-
tirely ignored, so that we are left in doubt as
to a very important point. The service
charge OF the l5-inch gun is So pounds, Of
the 20O-pound rife, one-tenth the weight of
the shot, No, powder.
