THE Five NlLLI0N BILL.

The Times is IN error in its editorial
statement that the Five Million City Bill
became law over the Governors veto.
The veto was sustained in the Senate.
We trust no inadvertant "duck" has
bought city notes on the strength of the
Tlsnes's statement.

The fact mentioned in the report Of
Mr.. Banks upon the naturalization
law, that of our present 80, 600, 600 of
white people, only 5000, 900 are de-
scendants from revolutionary stocks,
while q, 900, 600 are new stocks en-.
grated upon the colonial population,
induces the Norfolk Journal to sug-
gest that the physiological question
whether the European race is capa-
BILE OF maintaining itself permanent
ly on this continent is not vet set
tied. The rate of increase, however,
of the native population is as great
as that of most European nations,
and greater than some of them. In
France the population has not even
doubled within century and half.
In England it has almost doubled
within a period of fifty years, and
in the United States it has been
nearly equal to the English increase.
In Upper Canada, the growth of
population, Notwithstanding its ri
gorous climate, has been more rapid
than that of any country in Europe.
The exhausting activity required in
the settlement of q new country may
wear out the vital forces more rapidly
than in old and established commu-
mites, but we have seen no proof
that there are physical causes pecu-
liar to America Which render the
Anglo-Saxon race unable to maintain
itself without the aid of fresh blood
from the European continent. At
the same time, we do not dispute the
fact that without The additions from
emigration, the United States would
probably now be, as compared with
European powers, sixth.rate coun-
try in population.

THE WINTER IN CALIFoRN1A.-A
letter from California says the pre-
sent winter has been by far the cold
est and toughest experienced in that
State since 1862, when all the val
ley sections were desolated by floods.
This season, the levees OF Sacramento
have stood the test, and that sadly
afflicted city has not been deluged,
but the entire valley country, from
one end of the State to the other, has
been flooded. and the loss is i'm
mense. In Yalo County, opposite
Sacramento, orchards, worth as high
as $50,0 900 to $75, 900 each, have been
utterly ruined by the floods, which
have swept over them and covered
them with wood, clay and coarse.

A. lady from Georgia was recently
in New Albany, Indiana, looking in
vain for her daughter. She, poor
woman, was the widow of q Georgia
State Senator, who was n fierce se-
oessionist, and gave nearly all bis
property, about $S5, 900, to the Con-
federacy. He then enlisted in the
rebel army, and was killed Mt the
first battle of Bull Run. Her four
sons were all killed while fighting in
the rebel service. One of her dangh-
ters died from grief for their loss.
and the one for whom the mother has
been looking was sent North by Gen.
Sherman, for having acted as rebel
spy when his troops were near her
mothers plantation. The soldiers
also burned all the buildings and
fences on the place.

PROGRESSIVE. Last evening, that
excellently managed and uniformly
popular and indispensable establish
ment, the Charleston Hotel, was the
scene of large gathering of its
friends to pay tribute to the enter
prise of its present superintendent,
Major Horbach, which has manifest
ed itself in a thousand ways, but
most conspicuously in the last few
days, by the provision he has made
for the general illumination of the
front of the hotel. The excellent
band of the Fifth United States In
fantry was present, and contributed
in no measured way to the general
hilariousness which followed as a
consequence of the enterprise Of
friend Horbach, and the manner in
which he permitted his friends to
celebrate it.-Charleston Courier.
