1000 HOUSES TO LET

is it so: The steamer before the last car
ried off a larger number Of passengers
than ever before departed on one vessel.
And every steamer is loaded to its utmost
capacity with self.exporting humanity. 1t
is notorious that that the vast majority OF
those now leaving our shores do 80 with
express intention Of remaining in the East.
This is not well. These are facts to be
contemplated with serious regret. 1t be-
comes US to look for the cause Of this
hegira, so exhaustive of our population.
1t cannot be denied that among the chief
asserted reasons for this depopula6on is
the failure of our people to adopt the
Government currency. 1t is claimed that
this fact keeps out capital, keeps interest
at a high rate, gives to capital a monopo-
LIKING and all-grasping power which is
being relentlessly used BY Prince bankers
and brokers. While we do not agree en-
tirely in this view of the case, it has to
our mind some merits Of probability and
is entitled to be fairly and calmly weighed
in the consideration of the ~lamentable
events we notice. That there is great ease
in money matters East, that employment
for men and women is abundant, at high
! rate of wages, cannot be denied. Recently
5000 men were mustered out Of army
service in New York; Of whom only 2E0
were out Of places at the expiration of a
month after dlsbanding. 1t is reported
that chances for speculation in all kinds
brokering and merchandising are extern
sive. in the Atlantic States; and men W o
are on the rampage to get rich in fife n
minuses-as Californians and Neyadans
proverbially are-hasten to the scenes Of
the great Ups and Downs. 1t becomes
an important though incidental question ::
How will this emigration effect the
Union force of our section Of the
Nation: 1t is believed that the pro-
portion of secesh bummers that are in the
steamer moving mass of humanity is graf
ifyingly large. They are-or a majority
of them-marching for the Sunny South,
In hopes of re-instated political prefer

Of the 1000 dwellings to let in San Fran
cisco they will land dead-broke in Goth
am, or in the suburbs of the old planta-
ton but they firmly believe they have
an immediate prospect of fat official berths
in their old State, or under Federal COM
mission. 1t is quite probable that many
Of these persons are doomed to a lesson OF
disappointment worthy Of their political
crimes while on this coast /; but the point
here is one Of gladness in the estimate OF
our radiance of them and their de6ling
influence.
Two thousand houses to let! Why
that is worse than anything we have ever
heard from Aurora. There seems to be q
periodical rush to and from San Francisco
and so real estate advances and recedes in
value. But not in proportion to demand
for dwellings. The folks that way man.
age to keep up the rent with even hand.
But the ebb and iow Of population is no.
ticeable. Every three or four years there
will be a mining excitement IN some dis.
tant locality on the coast. Out go the
man, wife and children for the new dig
gings. The actual wealth of the fresh
district being discovered, and the fever
haste thence and there aba,ed, back goes
man, wife and children-with a stay-at-
home oath of execration on bad specula-
tons in no account regions or with a
snug little estate in cash, wherewith to
build as fine a homestead as the law will
allow.
