ATTEMrr TO AssAssINArE SENATOR WADE.
A man of unusually large proportions called at
the residence of Benjamin +. Wade, United
States Senator from Ohio. at Washington.
January 10th, and being admitted to Wade's
room, up stairs, stated that be was trying 10
obtain employment in the United States Navy,
and asked the Senator to sign papers of recon-
mendation. Wade refused to do so, saying he
didn't know him; and, observing significant
scowl upon the visitors countenance, be
stepped into an adjoining room and armed
himself with a loaded pistol. Upon Wade's
return to the room the stranger arose. drawing
out bowie-knite about twelve inches long,
snd remarking, Il suppose you know we are
now alone, sir, il this room," proceeded to
unsheath his weapon, when Wade drew his
pistol. and placing it close to the head Of bis
visitor, told him to clear out Immediately, or
be would shoot him. The man re,reated, and
was closely followed down stairs by Senator
Wade, when he departed. During the visit,
be failed to produce any papers for signature
and evidently made this a mere pretext for an

President Johnson's Position.

the purpose Of delivering resolutions approving

A Word about the Future.

The abundant rains Of the Winter give
harvest, bat what shall We do with them?
After two seasons Of failure, we found the
State, last Spring. so denuded of grain as to
cause alarm among consumers, while the
agricultural communities, having q clear
market, looked hopefully forward to their
harvests TO remunerate them by high prices for
two years of loss yet. out of the very fulDess of
the crop, they were doomed to disappointment.
Wheat has borne barely remunerative price.
and barley has been sold at prices utterly
ruinous to the raiser Should the coming
harvest be as fruitful as the last, will not all
grain, by reason Of the heavy surplus, fall to
prices entirely unremuneralive? Should
third good season occur, must not the agricul-
taral interest die Of very repletionf 7 There is
cause for earnest thought in this. Itseems
almost inevitable that the farmer, instead OF
using bis energies to grow rich by making two
blades of grain grow where but one grew
before must take heed to guard against the
calamity of good crops.
The cause of this paradoxical state of affairs
is simply the want of market. While We are
limited to the consumption of the population
OF our own State. yearly increasing and, in
like ratio, increasing our surplus, and limiting
the market, the inevitable result of dying
of opr fertility mnst ensue The rampdy ia
larger market. While we are supinely growing
at the high price of sacks and low price
of grain, We are permitting our sister State
of Oregon, by long, tortuous and expensive
route, to feed the populous communities at
Boise and Owyhee, which. if the signs of the
times are correct, will double their population
the coming season. and add to their wonderfully
rich country the recent developments at Black
Rock and Pueblo, they will have, during the
coming season, population sufficient to consume
every pound of surplus produce that the
counties Of Butte, Yuba, Suffer, Cousa and
Tehama can produce. These counties are
nearer TO Owyhee and Boise by hundreds
of miles than Portland, from whence they draw
their supplies and all that is needed to secure
US that market is the construction of good
road from Susanville to the Owyhee. Will
the people of these counties wake up and
construct this road, or shall we continue in our
good old way of starving on poor crops, and
dying by cereal apoplexy of good ones?

ENGLAND AT HER OLD TRIcKs.-Pursuing
The policy of "strict neutrality" made famous
during the war Of rebellion, the English have
recently been fitting out and sending off
privateers for the Chileans OF course, Spain
does not like this species of fairness aud
neutrality. We are informed that diplomatic
correspondence OF a somewhat importap,
character affecting the relations Of belligerents
at sea, has passed between the British Embassy
at Madrid and the Spanish Government, The
former protests against the Spanish order that
all crews Of Chilean privateers, not of Chilean
birth. should be treated as pirates. The
Spanish Minister replies that British ideas
have not always heen so strict, and that the
British construction OF international Law is not
in accordance with the views OF most writers
on that subject.

TO construct a road TO unite with others on the

PUBLICATION OF STATE LAws.-It strikes
US that it is about time the Legislature orCali
foruia made provision for the publication Of
the Laws in each county in the State. The
usage has been almost universally adopted ir
other States of the Union, and there is 90 good
reason why it should not be in California.
Now the people are dependent for information
as to what laws have been enacted on few
scattering copies of the Statutes, and even
they are not issued for from six months to a
year after the adjournment of each Legislature.

informed that the Indians have been making a
raid into Surprise Valley, and driving of stock.
A party of soldiers went after them and recov-
cred the stock, but, when the soldiers returned
to Fort Bidwel, they discovered about 200
Indians near there, making demonstrations of a
threatening nature. A dispatch was sent to
Fort Crook, and Major Meilen, Captain Starr
and twenty FIVE men left for Surprise. We
think it was a very foolish order that was
issued to have all the men but twenty-five
removed from Fort Bidwell. We would not

THE PARAGUAY WAR.-Buenos Ayres cor
respondence says that the loss of all the Para
guayan troops that had invaded Brazil, by
crossing the Uruguay river, was followed by
that were occupying Corrlentes. For more
than a week the work of concentrating the
allied land and naval forces had progressed so
that on the 25th January they would make
grand combined attack with $4,000 troops
and thirty war steamers, on the Paraguayan
stronghold of Hanmatia. This is a place of
immense strength, mounting one hundred
heavy guns and rendered difficult of approach
by chains extending across the channel and by
submerged torpedoes, ETC., having to support it
Paraguayan army Of $4,000 or 10000, and
a considerable fleet. The march of the allied
forces in pursuit of the retreating Paraguayans
across the province Of Corrientes to the Para
quay river, for 300 miles through an almost
uninhabitable country, is described as one of
the greatest difficulty and suffering. Hundreds
OF troops perished on the way, and many others
deserted.
Later advces from Buenos Ayres says Lopez
has again invaded Corrientes. He is greatly
enraged at the reply of President Mitre, and
instantly ordered every possible retaliation.
A large number of Argentines had been ar
rested, their property confscated aud one shot.
The .main body Of the Brazilian army is 10
leagues below Corrientes. 1t is hoped but it
is not certain that it may save the city from
