ONE INDUSTRY CRUsHED.-The San
Francisco Time, Of yesterday, says that
the business Of wagon making in Cali
fornia is crushed /; that wagon makers
can no longer afford to pay 81 per day
to their employees. The Tmes explains
it in this way:
Two-horse wagons have sold among US at
from S225 to $3.50. The material going to
their construction costs from $55 to $50 the
labor costa $3.50 to $l60. Tho same wagons,
of Michigan make, can DO bought In any
quantity, both here and in Sacramento, for
Sl60 to $3.50. J.. D. Arthur offers wooden
axle wagons for $40. One Sacramento wagon
manufacturer has discharged one-half his
hands, and must pcrforce discharge the bal
ance. The wagon shops here are running
s~hort-handed, on short time and short wages.
One proprietor discharged his hands, offered
his wagons, stock and material to q creditor,
and told him to make what he could out Of
them. We cite these items to show the effect
which has been, in point Of fact, already pro-
duced, and then revert to the cost Of man.
ufacture.
The Michigan wagon is offered at Sl60;
material, with US, cost $50; leaving q margin
for wages, 500. The same men have been
receiving for the same work, Sl50-to.wit /:
abou! 81 per day. Will they now do. the
same work for So so per dayi For a time,
they will not. But they will come to It after
awhile; and for this simple reason: That
until they DO, wagon making is in fair way
Of being suspended in California.

CHIcKsYs CoNE HoxH TO Reosr.-The
Nashville Press and Times, speaking of
the right which every legislative body
has to protect itself by excluding OBJ
n~o1ious members, cites the case Of the
Hon. Jesse D. Bright, of Indiana, who
was expelled from the Senate by a reso-
luton offered by the Hon. Andrew John
son, them Senator from Tennessee. The
latter supported his resolution by a
forcible speech, in which he showed
that though no overt act Of treason was
charged against Mr.. Bright, he was be.
lisved to be q dangerous man, and the
Senate had an undoubted' right to pro-
tect itself by sxpelling him. Mr.. John
son showed by reference and argument
that the Senate had supreme authority
over its own organization, and that the
safety of the people vas its highest law.
The question is naturally suggested,
therefore, whether, if Mr.. johnson him
seit be chosen to represent Tennessee in
washington, the Senate of the United
states may not follow his own precedent
and refuse him a seat on account Of hi,
indscorous attacks on Congress. and
the contempt which he has tried 70 ...,
upon its laws. It will be well, con.
e!udss the Post, for the Legislature Of
Tennessee to reflect seriously before i,
sends a man to Washington who NAV
be sent back BY an insulted Senate, de-
tsrminsd to maintain its own dignity.

CHICAGO has the excitement of q first
elias, mystery. This time it is the
genuine article; nc rapping spirit; no
impalpable ghost; M actual defunct
corpus on the edge Of the public high
way. Near the end Of a street bridge,
wedged in between piles, just clear Of
the water, the fascinating object was
discovered. The community immedi-
atsly shuddsred. Murder, doubtless;
but how when, where, by whom, and
why was this disposal made Of the
body? These were the questions; and
while the jury sat the rumors grew. At
length the verdict is brought in. No.
body guilty. Deceased, intoxicated, fell
of the bridge, and was either killed by
the fall or suffoeated in loco. Although
the corpse is just discovered, the seci-
dent took place six months ago. How
the inebriate got over the edge is not
explained, nor why, if tho corpse laid
close to tho street, nobody ever before,
by eyes or nose, perceived it. The
affair has the perspicuity Of a we'll
known narrative about rats stealing
pork through a hole in the bottom Of a
and leaving the brine. Queer

TENNEssEH POLITICS.

Things political are still lively in
Tennessee. Governor Ssnter has been
~inaugurated, and as an earnest Of what
he may expect whom he becomes fairly
seated in the gubernstorisl chair, it is
already boldly charged that his personal
friends who deal largely in Tennessee
bonds in Wall street, knew all about the
financial points Of his message several
days ago, and governed their business
accordingly. This is a grave aceusa-
ton, and, whether true or false, should
not be permitted to pass in silence.
Next comes the Memphis Avdldnehe,
with the bold assertion that the Now
York bankers are furnishing Andrew
johnson with money for the purpose Of
securing the United States Senstorship.
What bankers Of ordinary prudence can
possibly want with such a wroug-headsd
Senator as our late President, is a puz-
zls Of moro than ordinary completely.
But the Avalanche promises to give
details very soon, including the
names Of the peeunious friends of
Mr.. Johnson. This will be pleasant
reading for the late President, and
equally entertaining to Colonel Stokes.
Then the Legislature has before it all
sorts of bills for the repeal of almost all
the legislation perfected since tho rebels
governed Tennessee. There are bills in
committee for the repeal Of the School
law, of the Militia Act, Of the law sup
pressing Kuklux organizations. In
short, the new Legislature is prepared
for a clean sweep in any and every d.
rection. What effect the Governors
message will leave on this fresh and
restless body yet remains to be seen.
But with the charges Of favoritism al
ready preferred against him, with the
allegation of tho Ardlanehe, that New
York money is to purchase Senator
for the State, the message, instead Of
acting as oil on the troubled waters,
may serve to raise a fresh storm, one
ever wilder than that which ragged in
the Senter.Stokss campaign. Ten.
nessee is well provided with pugnacious
orators. To say nothing of Senator
there is the great and fluent
u~nimpeached, the %rsdoubtable Emerson
the experienced Baltic Psy-
ton, and the bold Colonel Stokes him
self,

rage Of the Jewess, Miss Friedlander, and

Eoas.-We allude to the effect upon
some local manufactures, of the compe.
tition introduced by the Overland rail-
road. We must'add one fact of q differ.
emit sort. During the past few days 100
barrels of eggs-Chicagoness eggs
containing 10 dozen eggs each, aggre.
eating 10000 eggs, have been re-
ceived, and are selling to the trade at
so cents per dozen. The previous price
Of California eggs had been so cents
per dozen. The fact 10, we believe, that
those Western eggs can be sold at sufi-
cient profit at 25 cents per dozen. The
receipt Of butter and cheese has already
become a familiar thing. These figures
are Of some interest to BUR farmers.
We commend them to their attention,
and also counsel them to con the prices
current Of Western produce markets, to
add 5 cents per pound for freight, and
CIPHER out the prices which must in an.
other year obtain for our own dairy
and farm produce. The figures are
those to shirk which will involve only
loss and embarrassment.-S. p. Time,

hundred millions in gold was the sum

upon a rough estimate, allowing sixteen
dollars to an ounce, and sixteen. ounce
to the pound, and two thousand pounds
to the ton, and n ton to each cart,
would require a thousand carts to move
it and allowing twenty feet to each
horse and cart, the string would be
about eight miles long. No wonder
