EMPIRE STATE-The New York Herald
says the completion of the Pacific Railroad
assures to California the position of the EN-
pire State of the Pacific, and predicts that
she will always maintain that distinction, no
matter what changes may hereafter occur in
lines of communication. Our geographical
situation, unrivaled climate. mineral and
agricultural resources, will attract and hold
a larger population than any other Pacific
State can hope to attain. We think the
Herald's opinions in this particular are de-
cidedly sound.

SERIOUS AccrpEsr.-On Thursday morn

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-On Thursday morn
ing, Just after Assessor A. p. Ladd bad
mounted his horse, at Millville, the pistol
which he usually carried in holster at his
saddle bow. exploded, and the ball entered
his right thigh a few inches below the groin'
and ranged down nearly to the knee, where
it lodged. Having no suitable instruments
at hand to extract the ball, DR.. Guptiil re-
commended that Ladd be brought into Shas
ia. where he arrived in the forenoon Dr.
Pelham probed the wound to the depth OF
sixteen inches, but failed to find the ball
The vound was then cleansed. and it is hoped
no permanent injury will result from the
accident.

TIE HoBBY.-The pet hobby of the press
at the present, time appears to be 50 official
corruption" Any one verdant enough to
rely implicitly upon the statements of the
reformatcry papers laboring under a spas
modic attack of honesty and assumed devo-
tion to the public interest, would suppose
that an honest official could scarcely be
found within the limits of the United States.
There is undoubtedly much official dishonesty
extant at the present day, but we are in
clined to the opinion that men are as honest
and reliable now as they were century ago
As the country increases in wealth and pop
ulation a greater number of officials are
rendered necessary, and of course defalca-
tions and peculations increase to some extent
also; but the idea that men of the present
day are more corrupt and dishonest, as a
mass, will not go down with people of sense
and observation. 1t is good clap-trap to win
the applause of fools and gulls, but people of
sound mind fail to see it,
The Shasta courier., 1869-05-22

DEriANT.-Lord Stanley, backed by the
London Times, declares that the position as
sumed by Sumner on the Alabama claims is
preposterous, and that England will not even
listen to negotiations on the basis outlined by
the Massachusetts Senator. Summers posi-
ton is simply the position of the United
States Government, and unless England lis
tens voluntarily to our demands she will
sooner or later have to listen to the thunder
of our cannon That's all.

CHANGE OF NAMEs.-Tbe Secretary of the
Navy is determined to carry out the law in
relation to the names of Government vessels.
He will require all steam vessels of the first

principal cities; third and fourth classes to
be named as the President or Secretary of
the Navy may direct.

NoTICE TO observation-disclosures intending
to engage in the distilation of brandy from
peaches, apples and grapes, during the ensL-
ing year, would do well to read the following
section of the Act of April 10, 1869:
That section SO be further amended so as
to require that distilers of brandy from
grapes, peaches and apples exclusively. pro
ducing less than one hundred and fifty bar
rels annually, shall pay q special tax Of fiftv
dollars, and, in addition thereto, the tax of
four dollars per barrel of forty proof gallons
on account of such sale.

TAXATION OF VINEYARDs.-The Supervisors
of Los Angeles county have fixed schedule
of prices to guide the Assessor in valuing
property in that county. Following are some
of the rates: Grazing land, per acre, rs
cents; grain land. IS; irrigated and vine
yard land, $40; bearing vines, 2 cents each
Allowing 1000 vines to an acre, it would
make the assessment, including the land,
$50 per acre..

ApoPrsD Last year the Union Conven-
tion Of Trinity county voted to adopt the

decided to call an election for the purpose of

GRAPE yINEs.-A few years ago Joseph
Moore. of Millville. planted large number
of grape cuttings in piece of land near that
village, but failing to get water for irrigatlng
purposes, he gave up his embryo vineyard as
worthless. The vines refused to die, how
ever, and this year present Hourisbing ap-
pearance and will bear good crop of grapes.
This proves that irrigation is. not absolutely
necessary in order to grow grapes.
