SHARE IN MAKING UP.


mond fell, there have been not less than
10000 bona JSGs removals, emigratons,
get-up.and. dusls from this coast for the
Eastern States. Add to this statement OF
fact, or statement within the fact, this
item-that most, by far the majority OF
these emigrants, were tolerably well off
and Of the well-to-do order of humanity
men and women whom we could not az
ford to lose-and you have u large scope
for regret, and a great reason afforded for
a comparative deficiency in enterprise
throughout this section Of country. Two
or three thousand rich men have left US
in the space of time noted-taking their
property and energy to the other side OF
the continent. Meanwhile, the prominent
accessions have been far inferior in num-
Der. It is impossible-if it were polite
or polite-to say that what has come in
the form of new population is less desir-
able in character than what we have lost.
But it is easy to see, and perfectly proper
to announce, that new population is not
the practical equal in benefit to a country,
as compared with the familiar old deni-
zens of a given locality. No wonder,
then-in view Of positive numerical loss
and inadequate substitution, even in part
that the times are relatively hard, avail
able labor scarce in harvest days, and un-
skilled laborers waiting, unemployed, in
districts where practiced workmen have
made a pile and deserted for more congo
NAL climes. re ..
The saying was very extensively circu-
lated and credited, last Summer, that the
reclaimed Southern States would afford a
field for unprecedented speculative traffic,
Of all species; and Californians-wher-
ever scattered on the coast-considered
themselves shrewder by far than any Of
the rest of creation; and so a large repre-
sentation made movement for the Promised
Land. But this special incentive for emf
grafton took off the poorest and best
sparable part of the exodus.
The inquiry into the various causes that
operated to produce the wholesale move
ment from here to the East is interesting ;
but we do not press it further now
because we wish, rather, to urge the ques-
ton, upon the basis of what is already
said and known: How can we best en-
courage and procure a return tide: We
need a good class Of people from the plen-
sifully supplying force Of the East Of our
Nation and the civilized Of Europe. How
obtain ii VIVA. means adopt in advance
of the Railroad construction
We suggest: The appointment Of a
Commissioner of immigration for Nevada,
to be stationed OF New York. If the right
sort of an appointment be made, we are
confident that thousands can be brought
directly to our boundaries through this
fundamentally. No doubt of it.
We should have a State Geologist ap-
pointed, whose first assigned duty should
be to gather the developed facts Of our
mining resources, and publish them in a
pamphlet so soon as the plain statistics
can be gathered. 1t will be the work Of q
few months only, to accomplish this. This
document printed and sent abroad by the
authority and under the seal Of the Com
monwealth will inform thousands Of de-
sirable citizens and subjects Of our condi-
ton, prospects, advantages, under proper
labor applied and moderate capital invest
ed. So will they be drawn to our State /;
and thence will our prosperity be en-
HANGED.
Is not this a good subject for discussion
before our Literary and Scientific Associ-
alton, albeit it is neither(s,rictly speaking)
literary nor scientific. And may not our
suggestions form separate subjects for
| consideration. At all events, they are
submitted to the people, as they may
hereafter be placed before the Legislature.
