WAGON ROAD TO MONTANA.

Assemblyman Smith, of Butte, on the 10th
instant, introduced bill to aid in the con-
struction of the Califoruia, Idaho and Monia-
na wagon road, which was ordered printed.
On the same day. Mr.. Meredith presented
petition from citizens of Lassen county for
authority to make q county subscription OF
ten thousand dollars to the same purpose
This is an enterprise of great Importance to
the northern counties of the State, and We
trus. the Legislature will cot allow their con-
s,i,utional limit to expire without granting the
authority asked 10 aid OF The undertaking.
1t is not to be supposed that wagon road,
entering Idaho and Montana from the north
ern counties of California, can compete with
the facilities that will be afforded by the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad, when it shall be exten-
ded into and through the State of Nevada.
When such shall be the case, a higher and
more accessible route for wagon road will be
found from some point on the line of the rail-
road east of the mountans-if, indeed, rail-
road shall not be demanded by development
of the wealth and resources of the vast extent
of territory that will lie to the north Of it. A
demand for the wagon road now contemplated
will still exist, however, even should q branch
railroad be extended from the main line of the
| Central Pacific road to the navigabie waters
of the Missouri, and send its shrill whistle rev.
erberatiDg through the canons of the Red
River to the Russian possessions. Wagon
road communication with the Black Rock
country, Humboldt, Owyhee and Montana,
would still be necessary as afording a valuable
and accessible market for the productions of
northern California. They should not be
limited to the market afforded by our own
State. and to competition with the valleys
surrounding the bay, with the cost of trans
portion against them.
The same energy that has supplied Nevada
with the Decessaries of life will supply the
vast mineral region to the north and east of
US, of a much less cost for the construction of
wagon communication, than was expended by
the people of the State upon the favored route
to Nevada. That producing country has
better advantages, and will be found the most
prosperous that has choice of markets; and
this can easily be afforded to this portion Of
the State by opening direct communication
with the country to the east and north of US.
We are not familiar with the details of the
bill, but trust that the Legislature will not
permit their session 10 draw to close without
first granting the authority asked in aid of the
undertaking, and then, when the Sacramento
valley shall be traversed by the iron horse, its
residents will have access to markets that
must greatly increase the value of every des-
cription OF property, and contribute 10 the
wealth and advancement of the State.

OwYHEE.-The Owyhee Aualanehe, in max
ing notice of the fact that one of the princi-
pal merchants Of that vicinity had left for
San Francisco with view of purchasing
supply of goods for the spring and summer
trade, condemns the Umatia route in decisive
language, and much more than intimates
that it is the full determination Of the
business community there, to avoid shipping
goods by the roundabout, rams.horn, expensive
Oregon route, if possible Their experience
of costly freight, delayed freight, and freight
laying all the way from Umatilla to Owyhee,
has convinced them that the Oregon route is
the poorest that can be selected" The people
of Owyhee, speaking from their experience,
pronounce the Oregon route, zone of certain
delays, half dozen resbipmeuts, aud linad with
extortioners." 1t is route, however, with
some means of transportation, and until men
are prepared to contract for the delivery of
freight by a more direct and cheaper route,
the people of Owyhee will be compelled to
submit to the delays and extortions that nav
be practiced upon it. The truth is, that the
distance from Umatilla to Owyhee, and which
is land carriage, is as great as the distance
from Marysville or Oroville to Owyhee, and
the country is no better adapted for land car
riage over the route from Umatilla than from
here. Freight can be laid down here for 50
per ton. The cost Of laying it down at
at Umaiila is S55, land carriage the same
either way. That is the difference in favor of
the direct ronte, providing both were stocked
with teams. We shall soon have railroad con
nection with Sacramento, which will afford US
still greater facilities for the speedy delivery Of
freight. But We must be prepared to forward
freight to its destination. That is all that is
necessary for our success. Let US proceed in
straight forward business manner, and this
important trade will be secured. This oppor.
tuni'y for profitable and permanent business
for teamsters, should not be thrown away.

INCOME TAx.-Tbe Commissioner of Inter.
nal revenue has decided that all returns must
declare whether the rates and values are in
coin or in legal tender or in currency. II iu
coin, the assessor must reduce the same to
currency according to his estimate of value at
the time and place the return is receivable.
Neglect to so declare is to be treated as neg.
lect to make any return. The Act 10 this
effect was approved March 10th, and tele.
graphed to San Francisco. So that hereafter
the income must be returned in currency, as
well as the tax that is paid thereon.

Relief to Debtors.

We observe that meetings have recently
been held in several Districts of the State, to
give expression to public sentiment on the
subject of the late Stay Law and the decision
of It's unconstitutionality by the highest judi
cial tribunal in the State, and to inauguratc
some system of relief to debtors under the
perlous circumstances by which they arc sur
rounded,
If relief is within the power Of the people,
either through the State Legislature or State
Convention, these public demonstrations arc
perhaps proper and should be encouraged
If. on the other hand, tho people of South
Carolina arc absolutely powerlcss in the prem
iscs and have no control over the subject mat
ter under consideration, then these public
meetings will doubtless do harm, by encour.
ing belief that relief is at hand, when no ro-
lief is possible. For it is obvious that if it
be not possible to relieve the debtor from the
terms of the contract by which lie voluntarily
bound himself, the sooner this unpleasant
truth is realized the better, so that debtor and
creditor may make such arrangements as will
subserve the interest of both.
Now, the true, and the only practical qucs-
tion is, whether relief is within tho power of
the people of the State?
More than six months ago, when "repudi-
ntion" was the allabsorbng public topic, we
endeayored to show, in an article prepared
with somc care, that certain provision in tho
Constitution of the United States was an in
superable barrier to the wild project, SO gen.
orally entertained, of a reputation of all pvi
vate contracts That instrument, which be it
remembered, is the supreme law of tho land,
says that no State shall pass law impairing
the obligation of contracts. This provision
was no doubt maturely considered and wise.

Prayer.

Prayer.
Prayer is the incense Of the soul.
The olor of the flower,
Aud rises as the waters roll
To Gods controlling power!
Within the soul there would not be
This infinite desire
To whisper thoughts i'll prayer to T &C.
Ials't thou no lit tho fire.
Prayer is the spiri, speaking truth
TO Thee, whose love divine
Steals gently down like dew to soothc,
Or like tho sunbcams slime;
For in tho humblcst soul that lives,
AS in the lowlcst flower,
The dew drop back Ills image gives.
The soul reflects his power.
AT night, when MI is hushc1 md still,
And cen so echo sleeps,
A still small voice doth Ger me thrill,
And to each heart throb leaps;
II is the spirit pulse which beats,
Forever deep aud true,
The atom with its Author meets,
As sunlight grccts the dew!
