Our government has began suit IN
Paris before the civil tribunal, to recov-
ca from certain shipbuilders a sum Of
money exceeding e315,000 received by
them for building several steam vessels
of war for the rebels, and Gll5,000 in
demnity for tho injury suffered in con i
sequence Of their being built and the
depredations committed by one Of them,
the ram Stonewall o. the four steam
ers and two rams contracted for, only
one Of the rams ever came into the pos
session Of the rebels The case for the
United States is conducted BY NJ. Ber-
ryer and M. Henry Moreau. They
contend that the confederate States had
no legal existence, that under the law
Of France the contract to build the
ships was Illegal and contrary TO pub
lie order; also, that PREPARATION is due
for having prolonged the war aud for
rendering necessary the presence q
American ships Of war in French vat
ers. The defence is, that The court be-
fore which the suit is brought has no u.
risdiction, and il the acts, which the de-
PENDANTS admit to have performed,
were illegal, they are responsible to the
French government and not that Of the
United States

The reports from Washington indl-
cate that johnson is preparing to resist
Congress in a manner which, if not
promptly checked, will lead TO serious
complications. Stanton is to be Off
cially ignored, and Lorenzo Thomas
open the War Portfolio in bed-cham-
Der in the ursurper's palace. Hancock,
encouraged by the plaudits OF the New
Orleans fremen, and toned up by his
recent interview with jeff Davis, is TO
be transferred from Louisiana to the
command of the department OF Wash
ington, to be the medium through Whom
any orders are to be isused, to the ex-
clusion Of Gen Grant. These move
ments are all in direct violation Of the
Laws Of the land. Johnson will doubt
less, fail as completely as heretofore, in
these attempts to gain control OF the ar
my, to aid him in subyerting the au-
thority of Congress. 1t may be that
these reports from Washington are I'M
founded, but we are inclined to believe
that he seriously contemplates pursu-
ing the course which rumor attributes
to him. He has before attempted the
accomplishment Of the same ends, and
he certainly is reckless enough to un-
dertake it again. But Congress will
find means to prevent the injury he
seeks to work. bauy Zee journal.

THE WINTER IN CALmoRNIA.--The Sc
we're storms on the Pacific coast the
present winter have greatly interfered
with mining operations In numerous
localities the miners have been depriy-
ed Of water in consequence Of the break
ing Of bitches, caused by the floods or
by land or snow slides When bitches
are broken by slides it is difficult to re-
pain damages 50 long as the weather
continues bad, and for this reason mi
ners are deprived Of water for weeks at
time. In some places the great
depth Of snow prevents men from
working. The damage to bitches,
fumes and other works necessary to
carry on mining has been great, but
the delay consequent upon repairing Of
damages has been a much greater loss
to miners.

Respectfully yours.

JONATHAN WoRTIL-In retiring from the
Gubernatorial Chair of North Carolina,
Governor Worth will have the proud salts
faction Of knowing that he takes with him
to private life, the esteem and confidence
of those men in North Carolina whose es-
TEEN and confidence are worth something.
Thousands, who distrusted Governor
Worth when fret nominated, have learned
the value of the man, his sterling integri-
ty, incorruptible honesty, and firm devo-
ton to the right-have learned to appre-
ciate his sound practical sense and the ad-
ministrative abilities which he has dis
played. ~. --a
He retires to private life, at period in
the history of the State pregnant with great
interests-at time when the Old State is
passing away and when vital changes are
taking place. May health and success at
tend him, and may his later years behold
the State of his love regenerated, olsen
thralled and redeemed from the rule OF
scalawagery bounding forward in career
