DIAMONDS. The finding Of diamonds in
California, reported at the Inst meeting OF the
Academy OF Sciences Of that State, is Tie
fourth discovery Of those gem; made within
the limits of the u. S. Persons familiar with
the characteristics Of the diamond producing
regions Of the East indies and Brazil, who
have visited California, have agreed III pre-
dieting that diamonds world be found in her
soil. The diamond discovered on tie Alau
chester sidc Of the James River. opposite
Richmond, Va. is 4 matter oi' history. 1t
weighed over twcnty-thrce car;tta, rough, ANA
cut down TO between ten and eleven: Is con-
sderably oft color, and has flecks OF uncry@tal-
lzed carbon i'll its centre. This diamond was
shown at Tiftany's for some time, and has now
passed INTO the ownership of iancGr OF such
s * charms, who wears it as brcaStpin.
NO other discoveries Of diamonds have been
made on the James River, where they would
naturally be looked for There is no placc in
the country where the diamond indications are
better than from Rlchmond to the Blue RIDGE
along the James. The route is thronoht ia
richest gold counties of the State, and the ;ia
scoulnite, or flexible sandstone, which is w.
garded by biologists as the inscparablc com
panl0n OF the diamond mot it's matrix Tor that
IS still mystery, exists there in abundance.
1t Is surprising that the discovery OF Il twenty
three carat stone should not have stimulated q
methodlcal search for others but no such cy-
ploratlon, we believe, has ever been made
One or two halt-carat stones, according to com
mon report, have been picked up near the

COMING Events CAST THEIR SHADOWS
BEFORE. - We copy the following extract from
an article in the Washington Chronicle Of to-
day. 1t needs no comment. Congress is
to meet in July, and new Reconstruction is
distinctly intimated:
ut is now perfectly apparent that Congress
made a serious mistake in permitting the rebel
johnson State organizations to remain. in ex
istence at all. even rs provisional govern
ments." Until the work Of reconstruction rs
absolutely perfected, it is worse than useless to
permit traitors to act. Any participation ,by
them in the matter is sure to mar it, and nearly
three years of conciiatory legislation ought to
have taught us the impolicy Of attempting to
conciiate. From the Southern loyalists we
hear but one voice, and that is, that ''our only
hone is in abolishing the existing rebel State
ORGANIZATIONS Happily for the country, the
right to do this is unquestionable, and has been
already partly exercised by Congress in rcdue=.
imp the so.called State governments into sub
lection to the Military Commanders as PRO
yisional governments merely. The unscrupu-
lous sophistry Of the Attorney General to prove
the existence of dual governments with indie
ncndant Jurisdictions has not convinced! any
body, and is so evidently contraryt to the whole
letter and spirit Of the law that It has aroused
the Indignation Of the Representatives and
Senators who enacted it. Having thus com
PEELED Congress to meet again, the Administer.
ton will be alone responsible for whatever
measures may be deemed requisite by that
body to secure the restoration OF the Union
upon principles Of equity. 1t will be as we'll.
perhaps, that the work now in operation Tor
taking the sense Of the people regarding State
conventions should he postponed until provision
can be made for having it done in.accordance
with the spirit of the law hitherto enacted
The provisional governments ought to be SUI
perseded at once, and we shall then be where
we were at the termination OF the war
