WHAT WILL BECOME OF TIE CROPS The
Bee, in an article on the condition OF the State
remarks: agriculture is likely to be carried
to excess and must seek foreign customers. A
large expectation of breadstuffs has for some
time been going on to Australia, which keeps
up wheat and flour, and may possibly hold
them up through the coming season; but hay,
barley, and other feed, must necessarily GO
down. The Oregon papers say their last years
stock of wheat is still on hand, and they must
furnish Idaho and Montana. We have Nevada
and Colorado, but the first is decreasing its
consumption, and trade with the second will
be contested by the Mormons." The Bee
might have added that Northern California
will contest the Idaho and Montana trade, with
good prospect al the start of sharing at least
eq1ally with Oregon, as this section has the
advantage of the best and shortest route from
the termini of water and railroad routes. The
Idaho and Montana market will to a certain
extent render our agricultural districts iDde-
pendent Of San Francisco spectators.

"If you could extend the elective franchise

CANADA AND THE FENIANs-The Canadians

supplies for the Feniau army being stored at
Burlington, Ogdensburg, Plattsburg, Sandusky
and other points on the border, have added to
their fright, and call for volunteers has been
responded to in a manner that proves that real
danger is apprehended. Secretary Seward
officially assures the British Minister that any
sttempt of the Fenians to invade Canada or
violate the neutrality laws will be promptly
punished. Sir Frederick Bruce replies: Il
have no apprehensions of any trouble, believing

themselves into difficulty by too much faith in

The Mexican Question.

The diplomatic correspondence in reference
to Mexico furnished by the President at the
request of the House, is interesting and impOr-
tant. Mr.. Seward informs the French govern
ment that the attempted subyersion of repub-
Iicanism in Mexico is regarded as undertaken
opposition to the will Of the Mexican PEG
pie. and that it has became a source Of annoy
ance and menace to the United States which
ought to cease. He says:
ave fall back upon the principles that
no Foreign State can rightfully intervene IN
such trials as these OF Mexico, and on the
ground of desire to correct those errors,
deprive the people there of their national
rights of domestic and republican freedom.
We adhere to our position that the war In
question has become political war between
France and the Republic Of Mexico, injurious
and dangerous to the United States, and to
the Republican cause, and We ask only that
in that aspect and character, it may be
brought to an end.
