John A. Stanly, ESq.-Dear Sir In re-
ply to your inquiry, L take great pleasure
in giving you, for the information of our
friends in the South, such facts in relation
to the farming interests of California as
possess.
[ have been engaged in actual farming
operations in this State for the past six
teen years-the facts and figures [ shall
give you are such as have been drawn from
my own experience, and wherever there
may be doubt upon any question, [ shall
so calculate as to throw that doubt against
the farmer.
Our friends in the South must remember
that where not otherwise stated, all figures
I may state represent SO much gold and
silver coin-the precious metals being the
only currency we have in California.
The arabic lands Immediately around the
city of San Francisco, and within a few
hours travel of that metropolis, are cut up
into small farms are highly improved as
orchards, vineyards, market gardens, etc,
and command a high price per acre-$2O
to 500. These lands are out of the ques-
ton for immi grants.

AN old Republican editor - al
least we suppose him to be old - the
other day picked up an exchange
after having adjusted his spectacles
and therein read that President
johnson had made short speech to
the Committee from Baltimore
which had presented him with the
resolutions of the Council of that
city, indorsing his political course
and earnestly inviting him to visit
that city, and then exclaimed -
HWhy, bless me, the President is
still talking about the Constitution
Don't he know that the Constitution
ceased to have any efficacy when
the Republican party came into
power2 Don't he know that for
years before our party came into
power we claimed that there was "a
higher law than the Constitution to
which we owed allegiance, and we
are now only acting out that idea. u
This old reprobatey we guess, was
about right. The Republican party

THESE rich bondholders in our
midst bought their bonds at forty
cents in greenbacks on the dollar,
and draw about II per cent. in gold
per year interest on that forty cents
in greenbacks, which, in three years,

original investment. The poor
man, the hard working farmer, the
poor soldier, and even the poor

The Rump Congress, at Washing
ton, has made 1t 4 criminal offence
to accept an Office from the Presi-
dent Of the United States, In
speaking Of this, the Ohio States
man says,,t sa aribeio F.,o at aali
Never before in the history of the
world was there a man arested for
accepting an appointment from d
thigh Government fpnctionary. This
was done at Washington on Saturr
Iday. General Lorenzoa Thomas,
for accepting ffom President john
son the appointment of Secretary
of War, dd interim, was arrested on
la warrant sued out before Chief
Justice Garter, Of the Supreme
ICourt Of the District of Columbia,
land was held to bail in the sum of
live thousand dollars for his appear
ance this morning alto o'clock be-
Ifore one Of the Judges Of that
Court. This arrest, strange as it
Imay appear, is not in violation of q
law. There iss law called the
"Tenure Of Office Bill,n passed by
Congress for the purpose of diyest-
ling the President of all control over
lhis Secretaries and subordinates.- -
This law is clearly in violation of
tho Constitution of the United
States, inasmuch as that instrument,
while it holds the President re-
sponsible for the faithful discharge
Of his Executive duties, confers up
on him authority over his Cabinet
the right to select, suspend or re-
move, as he may consider the public
good to require, Section 5 Of the
Tenure Of Office Bill provides that
''if any person shall, contrary to
the provisions of this act, accept
any appointment in any office, or
shall hold or exercise, or attempt to
hold or exercise, any such Office or
employment, lie shall be deemed,
and is hereby declared to be, guilty
of high misdemeanor, and upon
trial and conviction thereof he shall
be punished therefor by a fine not
exceeding ten thousand dollars, or
by Imprisonment not exceeding five
years, or both said punishments, in
the discretion Of the Court. !
| This bill became a. law March 2, |
1867, and was passed over the veto
of the President For Serenty.eiqht
years the Government under the
present Constitution - from the 4th
of March, 1889, to the I'd of March,
1867 - was administered without
such q law, or without any depart,
ment of the Government suffering
in consequence of the non existence
of such law. AT times party feeling
ran exceedingly high, and the Pres
ident was unsupported by majori-
ty in either branch Of Congress (;
but that body did not transcend the
limits of the Constitution SO far as
to presume upon the enactment of a
law that would make the President
o mere cypher in the Government.
That uSurpdtion was reserved for a
Congress that came into power upon
the high-sounding pretension Of be-
ing in favor of Free Speech and /
Free Press, and of taking the Gov
ernment back, in the form of its ad-
minrstration, to its primitive sim
plicity and austere virtue. Alcfime
