The Wine Interests of California.

This interest Of our people which has
sprung into such Importance, within few
years, has. received fatal stab, by what we
must think bhnder on the part Of Con-
gress-a bluudsr exhibiting the grossest ig'
norance Of the SUI ject upon which that bo.
dy was legslating. If our represeu n ives
knew better, they must have been so much
engaged regulating the affairs of,as negsoes
in Mississippi and elsewhere south, that
they bad not time 10 attend to the interests
OF their white constituency at home. The
substantial profit of our wine maker is bis
brandy, Of which it is said our grape i. pecu-
iarly fitted. A grape that is not sweeted
to wine will make brandy, and all failures in
wine. together with the deb,is Of the val, aye
ready material for the manufacturing OF
brandy. and brandy is an article Of certain

and wine is not. Now, upon brandy. Con.
gress levies tax of tvo dollars per gallon

The endeavor now is to induce The depart,

of most Of the grape crop Of the State We
hope this may he done.

Messrs. Editors: - Under tho system OF

iion that has been prac'ised by those en,rus-
ted vith Office. 1t is Of itself a bid to hon-
est men to misapprop'ia's that which is
confided to the,s. In The early operation Of
his practice, however, before the blind zeal
Of faction had dsbauched the public mind no
party was bold enough t., sustain those VIII"
had proved false to their trust. But so surs'
" does bad system work ont it's logical re
suits, that we find ourselves after a very few
years become SO familiar with the vice of
public inS,ielily, that parties 40 hnger con.
slider that those who have BETRAYED their
trusts have TO that extent been enemies to
their party, but they are sustained and iusii.
fed. thus, Mr.. Lincoln set the example Of
rswar,ling. the faili less ard rorruDl Secretary
Ca:ueyon when he had been toa.ed out Of the
Cabinet. And he not only rewarded him.
but in face Of the far's so notorious that he
could not retain him lpnger, gave him a lr',
ter endorsing him as a man Of honor and fl
deity to bis public engagements, and from
that time il has mal.eEed not bow grea, the
fraud, 1t is enough that il has been isvae iced
hy one of the "lo,al." for every man Of his
party, in pubic or in private. to sustain the
delinquent, until we know 70 such thing as
public crime of this kind Need We wonder
Aen that those holding the modest office of
County Supervisor should misappiy the mo-
ney Of The people, and when a,raigned at The
bar Of publi, opinion should c"ntrmpluoasy
disregard the exposure Of their miseeds. and
SAY as Mr.. Scott does by his sence:- "Ihese
