Some discussion has taken place as to the
most appropriate time for holding State Con-
vention to send delegates to the republican Ma
tioual Convention to nominate candidates for
President and Vice President; and the general
onin;on seems to be that the Convention should
be held early in April. From present informa-
ton the party differences that existed in Cali
fo-nia during the past campaign, almost, if
not altogether healed, and the Convention bids
fair to he one of the most harmonious ever held
in the State. The necessity for uniting is ad-
mitted bv all and if each will forego his pre-
induces and agree to work on liberal bases with
the majority, the Union party will be entirely
consolidated and present to the opposition a
force as effective as in the palmiest days of its
mower. The feeling among Union men is excel
lent now. and it is the duty of all to encourage
II until the old desire to triumph has overcome
local or personal spleen. This party owes a
duty to the country we'll as to itself-a duty
that cannot he abandoned without dishonor-
and to perform that duty it must be united in q
solid phalanx OF course the State Committee
will make liberal call-one that will embrace
every loyal mar-such in fact as the National
Committee has issued. This, we understand it
has determined to do and if it abide by that
determination, there can be no cause on behalf
of any patriot for objection.
Let the Convention of Delegates elected under
the primary law and assembled in obedience to
such call, choose as delegates representative
men, against whom there is no ground of fac
tional complaint, and success in the next cam
paign will be placed among the certainties., 1t
may be advisable to appoint electors then as
well as delegates-but that is matter for the
Convention to discuss and determine. The
main, if not only argument, in favor of such
course is that it would save the necessity of
holding second Convention. We have no
friends to reward nor enemies to punish, and
therefore in these suggestions have only the in
terest of the party at heart but we submit that
it would be acceptable if tickets for delegates
and electors wer. made from the following names
or names of tIat class. We only mention these
as the class of men from whom it would be pol
icy to choose Thomas A. Brown, Eugene L.
Sullivan, L. Cunningham, f. Wadsworth, Gov

Caught . Tartar.

The latest intelligence from the East reveals
the fact that Andrew Johnson, in an evil hour
for " my policy" sought 10 make General Grant
an instrument in carrying out his settled pur-
pose of thwarting the will of the loyal American
people, as declared by their representatives at
Washington. President Johnson having sus-
pended Secretary Stanton, and appointed Grant
Secretary ad interim, the Senate, acting under
the provisions of the Tenure of Office Bill, re-
fused to concur, and duly reinstated Stanton.
The Tenure of Office Bill expressly forbids any
person from exercising the functions of the Of
ice to which he has been appointed after the
suspended officer has been reinstated. In ac-
cordance with this provision, General Grant
promptly vacated the War Office, and handed
the keys to Stanton, as its official head. The
President processes to be greatly surprised at
this action ON the part of Grant, alleging a
promise by Grant to retain possession until
elected by writ of mandamus, and it is said
that dispatches and articles in certain journals
charging Grant with duplicity in relation to this
matter, present the Presidents version. Grant
AYERS that he plainly informed the President that
he should be governed by the provisions of the
Tenure of Office Act and the New York Times,
for long time in full sympathy with the Presi-
dent, says of the charges against Grant The
country will characterize these statements as
they deserve when it is known that General
Grant gave the President distinctly to under
stand from the first that ne could under no cir
cumstances be party to any proceeding ha wing
for its object the keeping of Mr.. Stanton out of
the War Office after he was duly reinstated
Concerning this dispute there can be but one
opinion. Both parties are we'll known to the
nation Grant in the service of the country has
ever been emphatically man of action and of
few words, but when occasion required speaking,
as in this instance, directly to the point. Of
Johnsons record it is unnecessary to speak. 1t
plainly appears that Johnson, in attempting to
involve General Grant in his own factous oppo-
sition TO the representatives of the people, and
forcing upon him an issue of veracity, has caught
an uncommonly lively Tartar.

| REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL.-As generous a re-
mark as has been made during the discussion Of
this proposition, is INDUCED in by the Sacramen-
to correspondent of the Red Bluff Independent
who thinks the removal should have been decid
ed on during the session of 1862, but now there
has been too much money expended on it. All
are aware that since that time the people have
been taxed to the tune of nearly one hundred
thousand dollars to push forward work on the
State Capitol building, and to abandon it now
would be GO folly, if not wickedness." The hide
pendent's correspondent says &C let the State fin
ish it, and Sacramento will wall it in so that no
food ever can endanger it. Twenty years hence,
whoever sees this city will see her borders en-
closed with a granite wall to defend her from
the winter floods" Those who argue in favor
of removal now, seem to lose sight of the fact
that there is something beside the State Capitol
building to be protected that Sacramento to-
day contains nearly $l2 900 900 of taxable prop
ery. We fully coincide in the following senti-
ments expressed in recent number of the Au-
burn Stars and Stripes
STATE CApITAL.-Another attempt is being
purpose of conveying it back to the place of its
nativity, down in the valley and shadow of
death. The reason assigned for removing the
Capital appears to be that some timid ndiyidu-
ais entertain fears that the foundation upon
which Sacramento is built is shaky and that the
bottom may some day fall out. Therefore, it is
proposed to remove the Capital to another shaky
place, little more convenient to the great me-
tropolis and seat of power in the State. People
have been anxiousy waiting for the report of
some investigation committee, to see if there was
any reasonable ground to justify the Legislature
in entertaining such proposition. But it is idle.
No good reason can be found to justify such fol-
ly, if not wickedness. Sacramento is built upon
foundation as good, if not better, than any Bay
city, liable as they are to be at any time swal-
lowed up by rthquakes-accompan may be,
with fire and birthstone. Sacramento is conve-
niently near the geographical center of the State,
accessible by water, and the center of railroad
communication. 1t is also in the heart of the
agricultural portion of the State and the great
center of population. The convenience of the
people and best interest of the State, demand the
prompt reputation of any scheme for removing
the Capital from its present location.

PLANT TREEs.-Very truthfully does cotem-
porary remark that nothing adds more to the
beauty of place than to see its streets lined
with shade trees Once planted, it takes very
little care to make them grow, and in no coun-
try will transplantcd trees grow more rapidly
bill to encourage the cultivation of shade
trees has been introduced in the Legislature it
is to be hoped that it will become a law. Fol-
lowing is the first section of the bill -" Every
person who shall hereafter, according to the pro-
visions of this Act plant upon the line of any
public street or highway, or at such distance
within said line as shall afford reasonable room
for sidewalk, shade trees of not less than two
years growth, and maintain them in active
growth for period Of not less than FIVE consec-
utve years, shall be entitled to and shall receive
one dollar for each tree so planted and cutiva-
ted, and said compensation shall be deducted
from his or her State and county taxes provided,
that no person may plant said trees so as to OBJ
struct the street or highway, or contrary to the
will or directions of the authority having it in
charge"
