 yur,BLr PREsENr.-Before leaving for Cali t-1ia Lieutenant Oliver made present of his fine stallion Bourbon" to Mir Herbert Bowers
 The horse was valued. by the Lieutenant at $500. and he is worth every cent of it. Were he ours
 qe would not trade him for the peninsula of | Lower California.
 Doy'r TmNk IT Notwithstanding that hi. is lsaid to bc) a free country, and that man
 ssa do just as he peases, we do not think it right hr business men who have made every dollar
 they posses in the country, to send to California
 for printing that could be done as we'll, aud al-
 most as cheaply, here. We are prepared to turn
 out printing of all kinds. and it s but just and l proper that our merchants and business men 1 .hould patronize us. as VIC and the balance of he workers of the Territory do them. IL is not alone business ncn who arc derelict in this par f.ular: the officers of the Government. who were sent here 10 try and build up the Territory have made a practice of having the Journals and Ac,s of the Legislature printed in California l when they could have had the work done here n This is poor woy to encourage home industry, bat no doubt, good way for a Governor to pocket a couple of thousand dollars of the peo- plrs money. Hope Secretary Carter will not ! follow in the footsteps of Secretary and Gov craor Mccormick.
