AN OrIEIoN.-As there was some DIFF
ference Of opinion in this place with re-
gard to the merits of the lecture deliy-
cred by Ralph Waldo Emerson before the
n. 4. K" society, we here present the
opinion Of the New York Times in ref
ereDco to what we suppose to be the
same lecture.
At the Atheneum, Brooklyn, last eve
ming, Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered q
lecture on "Social Aims" to highly re-
spectacle audience, who crowded the
hall to its extremity. Like all that we
hear or read from Mr.. Emerson, his lee
tuFo last evening had that Hgor of
thought, far-soeing truthfulness, pro-
verbal aptitude and gracesolness OF die
ton, for which his writings are distin~
gujsh2i -aEd admired. Fna manhcTs,

will ste the reason why the HERALD of

was emnently appropriate, and also in
accordance with the usual custom ia
such cases, that Congress should ad-
iourn for the remainder OF the week.
But that the most important Congress

THIRTY lsARs AGo.-The New York
Herald of Saturday the 10th inst, repro
duces It's own account of the great fire
which occurred ia New York Just thirty
years ago. The reports are accompaui-

persons now living who will recollect
that fire but too well. Thc wind blew

MRxIcAS Observation-Disclosures des-
patches state that the recent spirited
manifestations OF sympathy with the
redublican cause in Mexico displayed in
Congress and by the people OF all classes
in this Coautry, together with the ap-
pointnlnt Of General Logan, an out
spoken advocate OF the immediate ell
forcemCut OF the Monroe Doctrine, to
the government OF President Juarez, have
led to fresh correspondence on Mexican
matters between Count Montholon the
French Minister, and Secretary Seward,
and induced The former TO despatch his
Chief Secretary, who sailed on Wednes
day last, to Europe for definite instruC-
tions from Louis Napoleon. 1t is re-
ported that Yesterdays Cabinet meeting,
which was longer one than usual, and
which was also attended by General
Grant, was devoted to the consideration
of Mexican affairs.
President Juarez in his decree recent.

has expired, as there has been no OPP

his successor, and as the Congress has

1t is urged by some that the national debt is a
great blessing. Suppose we admit this. Then
suppose we ask why you are in such stew
about expedients to pay that debt2 Why not
go on and increase it-borrow money and
throw it into the ocean? We wish we could
persuade ourself that debt was blessing
Colusa Sun
The Government Bankers, Jay Cook L Co.,
are among the number who believe in the dog
ma that our national debt may be made
a national blessing. They have sent out their
pamphlets, with matter intended to fortify this
strange doctrine, and for the further purpose of
inculcating in the public mind belief that it
would, be better for the nation if this debt were
never paid off, or got rid of in any way; that in
fact the principal of the debt should be made
perpetual and the interest on it, only, paid
1t seems to US that the best way to look at the
debt is to regard it in the same light that we
do the war, as great calamity, and deal with
it as such; look upon it as a burden instead of
a blessing People know that it is a burden,
and why attempt to deceive them by telling
them that it is a blessing? But Jay Cook &
Co. are right about the odious features of the
tax law. They say:
"Revise the Excise System itself Knock the
inquisitorial aud annoying features out of it.
Quit counting the teaspoons of the people
Stop feeling in pockets for watches to tax.
Cease this inspection of buggy-wheels and
counting of harnesses, and the spectacled peek
ing into the work and incomes of tailors, shoe
makers and smiths. Quit this counting off on
masculine fingers that should be hoeing corn
the bonnets made by milliners and the manu-
facture of rainbow wrappage for our dear girls.
Quit taxing the matches with which the people
light their candles. A great nation should scorn
such sources of revenue. A free people should
be freed from inquisiton into its domestic life
by salaried officials. The pride of nation, its
truthfuness its reasonable right of privacy in
conducting its business, should be sacredly
shielded by law. Petty sources of Income to
the United States of America should be flung
away To the utmost possible extent personal
annoyance should be avoided in gathering this
income The Revenues that are collected on
the hearthstones and in the barneyards-all
those that rritate in the gathering, and, conse-
quently, demoralize, should be scornfully aban-
doned by us, and that, too, right speedily and
forever.

AGRIcULTURAL.-With the end of the week
the farmers, generally, will have pretty nearly
finished harvesting their grain. During the
past FIVE days, they have been employed mostly
in hauling in and stacking the grain, prepara-

the grain is already being threshed and put
away in the granaries. The corn crop through
out the valley looks well, as a general thing,
and is maturing finely. Next season number
of farmers intend to experiment with some va
reties of corn which have not heretofore been
raised in the valley but which they believe will
do admirably here.
