The san Francisco Bulletin. of November 18th.
says that the total amount of oil and bone arrived
at that port up to that date. was Is 1888 barrels of
oil and 2I7 900 pounds of bone. This does not tally
with the above record. but may include small yes
sells not in our list.
On the whole. the seasons work may be regard
ed as fair. and showing a handsome profit on the
capital invested IN whaleships. 1t is generally es-
timated that 400 barrels of Arctic oil. with its usual
quota of 5000 pounds bone. pays the annual cost
of a whaler at sea. Our average, as given above,
of ESQ barrels of oil and lO.90S pounds of bone to
each ship gives a profit of over sixty per cent. on
the investment. after allowing for all expenses.
w would urge our business men to pay more at
tention to this branch of business. for which our
port is 30 admirably adapted. The few vessels
owned here have done very well. The Hae Ha-
iraii. owned by Messrs. Richards x Co. will prob
ably yield Il profit of So. 900 after all expenses
are deducted. and the Florence. owned by Capt.
Spencer of Hilo. between Sl2. 900 and $4,000. The
price OF oil and bone in Europe Is mere likely to
advance than decline, as the consumption is stead
ily on the increase, Notwithstanding the large
amount of coal oil consumed. We are admirably
located for carrying ON a large whaling business,
and our wh~alemen-natiyes as well as foreigners
are unsurpassed in skill.
The fleet which has recruited here this fall has
found supplies abundant. Oil casks have ranged
from 5D7 cents per gallon American beef. 5000

ESS~ The Ladies of our town have a very
pretty fashion of walking in 'platoons,," es-
pecially when walking muddy street cross
ing, and woe be to the unfortunate gentle
man in patent feathers" who chances to
meet them. He is unceremoniously eompell-
ed to take the side of the crossing, however
deep the mud may be, and thus wade to ter
ra frma to Incomplete ''wreck" of the bril-
liant polish of his boots. We like to see this.
1t shows such considerate kindness on the
part Of the ladies, and the good temper of
the gentlemen, who might as well understand,
now as any other time, that it is l0.fashiio,p-
able for the ladies to go in single file

ciples to the dogs2 IFe would not, but at

fully though justly failed. Those Demo

scheme, to-day hang their heads in shame
We charge upon them the cause of our late
defeat They dare not deny it. A bold
front should have been shown all through
the late campaign by the entire Democratic
party, and our banner would have been
crowned with victory instead Of trailing in
the dust A lesson has been taught certain
Democrats that they may never forget, but
profit by it.

Democratic Journals, proposes publishing a
new and large Democratic Newspaper, in

The Presidents Message.

We give up great share of our paper to
the publication of the message. The Presi-
dent still sticks to bis plan of reconstruction.
His recommendations are sparse. He is
remarkably reticent, and discusses no i'm
mediate question with any thoroughness or
boldness. In style, the message is a great
improvement, on his best previous public
efforts. But Andrew johnson, of Tennes-
see, is not Andrew jackson, of Tennessee
He don't take the bull by the horns. He
was in the Republican camp long enough to
be demoralized, and his present attitude
seems to US more like condition of balki-
ness thap any thorough resolve to rectify
the mistakes of the past and do better for
the future. His message, like his admins
tration, is neither the one thing or the 9th
er. Its reserve and propriety, however,
have taken the Radicals aback they can't
find much fault with it and they will not ac-
knowledge any merit Mr.. johnson is like
ly to go down to posterity as the President
who had Stanton and Seward for his chief
advisers, and who was condemned to oscili-
ate between the savagery of the one and the
sentiment of the other-C Clinton Democrat.
We do not fully endorse the above, but
at the same time there is good deal of

Oppressive Taxation.

We cIip the subjoined somewhat remark
able and very truthful editorial extract
unou the subject of Finance and Taxation,
from the last Saturday Philadelphia (loyal)
Inquirer;
We are now taxed in all quarters, our I'M
,,osts producing an immense amount OF
money at the expense Of industry and enter,
,rise. and TO the injury of every material
interest. We have reduced the debt In one
wear about one hundred and nlnety-one MIL
lions Of dollars; but in doing so we have
pressed severely against industry IN all oe-
partments. We have borne the immense
burden cheerfully, but it cannot be, that we
will continue to do SO. during the next
TWENTY-FIVE or thirty years Our COLLECTIONS
have beea at the personal expense OF every
one of US, increasing the cost OF living, re,
ducing the availability OF liked incomes, and
depriving enterprise of It's due reward. 1t
is not alone the volume of paper currency OF
which we can complain we have made 1T
more necessary that such a currency should
exist. because our needs are greater. The
amount of the burden which any enc of US
bears, if it could be ascertained, would seem
startling. We not only pay to the Govern
ment In income tax one dollar out OF every
twenty that we earn, but we pay it tribute
m almost every thing that we eat, drink,
wear, or use. Taxes meetthe new born in
fant in the folds of its swaddling clothes.
They are paid upon our slightest wants IN
raiment and food. All our necessities are
taxed, and all our pleasures must pay toll
The celebrated English epithets against tax
alton, which traces it from the cradle to the
grave, finds it in the taxed coffin and the
taxed tombstone-may now with truth be
applied to the United States.
This is the natural result of Black Repub-
Ican governmental lmismanagement. Itcon-
clusiyely proves what we have always al
legged, that the opposition to the Democratic
Party were unfit to rule the country. We
need no stronger evidence of that fact, than
is found in the foregoing admission. The
only hope of our country, and its restoration
again to its wonted prosperity, is in the as
cendancy of the great Democratic Party to
the reins of Government
