y. s. Seven. Thirty Loan.

The new Seven. Thirty Loan of the United
States, the advertisement Of which will be
found 10 another column, has become popu-
lar as an investment in the Eastern States,
and now an opportunity is given to the peo'
plo Of the Pacific coast to put their funds in
the same securities. 1t will be seen by the
following from the s. F. Bulletin, that the
rates Of interest that will accrue to persons
investing in these securities do not fall far
short of California rates. That paper says:
JAY Cooke & Co., the agents OF the Trea-
sury Department for obtaining subscriptions
to the seven thirty loan, have authorized
Wells, Fargo & Co., to receive Subscriptions
to the same in California. As the offices OF
this firm are located in nearly every town in
the State, prudent and patriotic people, who
desire to lay up a nest egg for the future,
and at the same time to aid the national
credit, will everywhere be afforded conve-
nient opportunity to invest in the most pop.
ular securities ever issued by any govern
mcnt. These bonds. it vii be remembered,
are issued in sums as low as $50, or any mul,
tiple Of that sum. They bear interest at the
rate Of seven and tbree-tenths per cent. per
annum, payable semi annually in legal cur.
rency, and are redeemabIe at the end of three
years from date-either last June or next
June-or fundable in six per cent gold bear
ing bonds, payable in five or twenty years at
the option of Government. They are ex>
empt from taxation, which is equivalent to
8 per cent per annum additional interest,"
This would make them pay over 10 per cent
year. Purchased with greenbacks at from
70 to IS cents on the dollar, the investment
becomes still more profitable, for before the
maturity of the bonds they will be worth
their face, with perhaps small premium for
conversion into gold bearing bonds, and will
thus have Melted at the end of three years
more than Is per cent per annum, or as
much as is generally paid for money on the
best real estate security in Caifornia-as'
sumng, of course, that currency is within a
year or two to be worth par, or nearly so, as
it doubtless will be. The semi-annual pay.
ments of interest will be paid to any person
who presents the detached coupons to the
assistant Treasurer in this city, or in any
other city where there is branch of the
Treasury Department. The Bonds can be
made payable to order or bearer, or to any
designated person here or at the East, and
can thus be used for remittance to friends, as
a present, or in the way of business.

HOLDS oFF.-The weather continues dry
and warm, and showers are now prime
necessity TO grain fields and gardens. For
several evenings cloudy sky has given
promise Of the needful. but these promises
have been dissipated by the clear skies Of
each returning morning.
In the valley portion of the county, where
the dry north winds have had more OBJ
structed sweep than in the foothills, many
fields are beginning TO show the tints Of yell
low-ra,her discoursgiug signs for large
crops.

SrArE INSANE AsYLuM.-It cannot have
escaped newspaper readers, from articles that
have appeared in the press for some time
back, that very serious and disgraceful trou'
bles are taking place in the management Of
the State Insane Asylum, at Stockton. This
results from the aulipathy existing between
Dr.. Tilden, Superintendent Of the Asylum
40 d the Board Of Directors of the same
Both parties have appeared before the public
with printed cards, each endeavoring to cast
blame upon the other; and employees of the
institution have appended their signatures to
documents both complimentary and deroga'
tory TO DR.. Tilden, until the whole affair is
so completely muddled, that it is impossible
for the uninitisted public to arrive at cor"
rect understanding Of the difficulty.
We confess our inability to tell where the
fault lies after reading the statements on
both sides, but we see very plainly that it is
a disgraceful quarrel 10 all concerned, and
must be very damaging 10 the good manage
mont Of the Asylum, and entail evil and per-
haps suffering to the he pless beings for
whose care and amelioration this noble char
ity OF the State was established.
DR.. Tilden claims that the Directors en-
croach. upon bis prerogatlves as Superin'
tendent, and encourages INSTRUMENTATION
among attendants and other attaches Of the
Asylnm-whle the Directors retort that the
Doctor has acted independently Of the adj
vice and authority of the Board, and is Who'll
" responsible for the existing troubles.
So far have these difficulties gone, thai
but few days since Dr. Tilden drew a pis'
tol upon one of the attendants and in turn
was arrested and fined one hundred dollars
for breach of the peace Others of the att
tendants made up the sum and paid the fine,
and then published a card Of compliment to
the Doctor.
This is the last heard from the Asylum;
and we would fain hope it should be the last
of a state Of things that are so painfully dis
creditable to the State; but the Asylum is
yet disturbed by the clashng rivalres Of the
Superintendent and Directors, who each have
their supporters among the attendants who
have the care Of the patients.
1t seems to be admitted that there is no
power in the Governor or other State otti
cials to rectfy these troubles, and that the
action Of the next Legislature must be await
ed for remedy. IF this be true-il there is
no authority nearer than the Legislature Of
next January to stop these unmanly proceed
ings, cannot the influence of personal friends
TO the parties in the quarrel be invoked, that
at least a truce can be obtained, and the af
fairs Of the Asylum conducted during the
intervening months, with some degree of pro-
priety, and with some regard to the good
name of the State.

A HIGHwAYMAN CAuGHr.-On Thursday
evening, the officers having good reason to
believe that robbery of the cabin of VIM.
Mcmahon, on Georgia Ravine, was contem.
plated, Sheriff Sexton and Constables Mahon
and Curly repaired to the place, and after
informing Mr.. Mcmahon of the visit that he
was 10 receive, concealed themselves in the
bushes to await Developments. After waiting
some time they saw two men approach and
enter the house, one Of whom immediately
drew pistol on Mcmahon and commanded
him TO hand over bis godsdust. Mac grum
bled little but shelled out SIX ounces and q
half Of amalgam dust, when the man turned
and left the house; but just as he reached
the door be was confronted by the Sheriff
who demanded him to surrender. Instead
Of doing so, the fellow jumped quickly into
the dark and broke for the bushes. -Four
shots in quick succession, brought him to a
stand, and be surrendered without further
trouble.
The cuIprit goes by the name Of like" j"
and has lived for some time in the neighbor-
hood of Ophir and Gold Hill, and bad
recently worked for Mr.. Mcmahon, and knew
Of bis having gold dust in his cabin. Ike
claims that this was bis first robbery, and
expresses penitence for the act but it is
believed that he is an old bird at the business
and to have been associated with the gang
that has been depredating for several months
upon The Chinese in the lower part of the
county.
The officers reached Auburn yesterday
before daylight with their prisoner, (afte'
a most exhaustng foot march over the rough
bills Of Auburn and Georgia ravines,) and
placed him safely in Jail.

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL RAlLRoAD.-T The

Constitution arrived at San Francisco from
Panama, on Thursday. Among the passen
gers was Col. c. L. Wilson, Of the Calfornia
Central Railroad. He reports having secur
ed all the iron necessary to lay the road
from Lincoln TO Marysville. The grading
between Lincoln and Bear River, a distance
OF eight miles, was completed last Spring.
leaving about fifteen miles, into MarysviIle,
yet to be made. The work to be done is
light, and could be finished in few months
il energeticalIy prosecuted. Bear and Yuba
rivers will require bridging, but the struc'
lures will not necessarily be expensive.
We hope this important railroad connec'
tion will now be made, and an avenue OF
speedy communication opened from the cen
trail portion Of the State, to the rich mining
and agricultural section Of the upper Sacra>
mento and its tributaries.
