FRENCH GULcu, July 25th, 1865.
EDIron CouRIER:-I wish to call attention to a
certain matter. in which we all should take an in
tcrest, through the columns of the CouRIER. The
subject to which refer is the election of United
States Senator. An expression was not had in cur
late County Convention, the issue on that question
not being made in the nomination Of Assemblyman.
1t is very evident now that the of the Union
party, through that Convention, should have been
taken,s and nominee instructed. Mr.. Chap
pell, understand, is personal friend OF Gov.
Low but if elected, will vote the wishes, as ex-
pressed, of majority of the Union party Of The
county. Now. Mr.. Editor, how is this expression
10 be had Would it not oe proper to call meet
ings in precincts where there is any division on
the subject | feel confident that the Union
party OF this county is almost unanimously in IA
vor OF Hon. A A. Sargent for United States
Senator. For this precinct, can speak very con-
fdeatly.
Gov. Low was elected to the honorable position
he now holds for four years, and believe he should
be allowed to hold the office the end ef the term,
if he faithfully performs the duties thereof We
took one Senator out of the Gubernatorial chair,
when we might have done better l don't say we
can do better now but | do say, that while we
have a good Governor. let keep him, at least
until his term of Office expires.
Mr.. FELTON,, of San Francisco, another aspirant
to seat in the United States Senate, is new
politician, and a stranger outside of that city
Some o. the interior papers seem to think that
bringing FELTON, out is Lolr trick, and others are
of the opinion that certain parties at the Bay have
axes to grind" | know nothing about Felton,
except that he has little strength out of San Fran
cisco. sf4t .#Is
The Washington mill is only able TO run five

The Highland is only able to run half time, but is
also doing well. The reason these mills not
running full time is the want Of water. The Hon
eycomb Company is pushing their work forward
as fast possible, and expect to have their mill
running at early day. Some gentlemen were
here within the last two weeks, who have had ex-
perience in the qxartz business negotiating for the

Convenience Of the Z. COS.

The subscriptions to the Third Series of
the 7-SO Notes are steadily Increasing, some
times running to near four millions a day.
The Treasury Department il now filing all
orders on the day they are received, and
the country banks and other sub agents
viii be able to keep full supply on hand
for the prompt accommodation Of their Gus
toners. There is no necessity for further
argument in relation to the desirableness of
this loan. Our war expenses are nearly over,
and when we square the books, Govern
ment will need no further loans, except
as they may bs required in the future for
the redemption Of such portions Of those
now made as it may not suit our eonven-
lenee to pay, and these will be obtained at
peace and not at war rates. Indeed, very
large portion of the community believe that
i will be better for the country simply to
pay the interest and permit the debt to re.
main as a esPital--a permanent basis for
the development of our great resources.
The man who has Government bonds has
practically JuPt as much money as If the
same smount were in bsuk notes. The
bonds are simply permanent eredit-rep-
rosenting so much of the national wealth,
and available as capital for any business
enterprise, with the advantage Of drawing
interest until used-while the bsnk-notes
Of National Banks (snd we shall soon have
no other) are but the smaller hand to hand
circulating representatives Of the bonds, cut
up for convenience, but bearing no interest.
Th0s the holder OF q. 8. 1880 note inev-
cry practical sense has his money, and at
the same time gets liberal interest for st..
The national debt has ctztainly made the
wealth Of the country available for great
practical results. 1t has mObilizcd its oapi-
tai, and given a firm foundation, not only
to our banking, but other great public and
private interests-that require credit on the
one hand, but that security for the people
on the other, of which the country's bond
is the best and only sufficient represents.
