Land Office. i.

A petition will be forwarded to Washington
in few days, praying Congress to authorize
the establishment of a Land Office in this
place. The petition has been extensively
signed in this and some of the adjoining
counties. Such an Office is greatly needed
in this portion Of the State, and would great
ly facilitate the entry of public lands. At
present the residents of Shasta, Trinity,
Siskiyou and Tehama counties, embracing an
immense area of territory, are compelled to
travel to Marysyille, or Bucksport, in Hum
boldt county, whenever they desire to enter
lands or obtain decisions upon mooted points.
To reach Bucksport, parties must travel by a
pack trail over high and rugged range OF
mountains, rendered impossible by snow in
winter, and infested by hostile bands of
Indians in summer. with the alternative OF
travelling to San Francisco, and thence by
ocean steamer TO Humboldt Bay. For res
idents of either of the counties mentioned to
secure the entry of small parcels of land at
Marysville or Bucksport, entails expenses
frequently exceeding the Government price
of the land. These difficulties have debarred
many from attempting to enter public lands,
and experience has shown that unless men
have secure titles to the lands they occupy,
no permanent improvements will be made
upon them. We hope our Representatives in
Congress will use diligence in securing the
establishment of the office which the inter-
ests of their constituents imperatively de.

study and the exact recitation of every lesson
during the month, being absent no days
unless clearly unavoidable. The second list
embraces those who deserve laudable men

month. 1t is a matter of honor, and while
it is meant to encourage all, it especially
mentions the diligent and trusty pupil who
has conducted him or herself properly. and
labored faithfully to attain higher standing.
and the standing has only this connection
with the Roll of Honor, that none can be
placed upon the latter if the scholarship of
that one is below 90 per cent.

CALIFORNIA AND OREGON RAILRoAD.-The
Yreka Journal thinks that if Congress refuses
TO pass the Mallory bill, the California and
Oregon Railroad Company will then be COM
PEELED to build its road on the line of the
old Elliot survey. We cannot see why it
will be compelled to do so. The charter
granted to the company by Congress merely
stipulates that the road shall be built from a
given point in the Sacramento Valley to the
Oregon liue. The company is not restricted
to the Elliot survey, but is at liberty to run
to the Oregon line by any route it may see
proper to adopt. The company bas already
located its lands to point about SIX miles
west Of this place, rendering it certain that
when the road is built it will at least come
in the neighborhood of this place, if not di-
rectly to the town. 1t is yet to be determin-
ed whether the Elliot survey will be followed,
up the Sacramento and through Shasta Val
ley, or the road turn off and run up Pitt
River Valley. and reach the Oregon line
through the Goose Lake country. Time will

TrRRIBLE--Last week we alluded to the
treatment received by a Portuguese family,
in which case Of email pox had appeared,
at Hawkinsville, Siskiyon county. When
the disease made its appearance on the per-
son of the child, that has since died, the in
habitants of Yreka refused to allow any
members of the family to leave the infected
house for place of safety, but compelled
them to remain imprisoned with the victim
The sick child being afforded no medical
assistance, soon died, and the balance of the
family were compelled to remain IN the house
where the corpse lay until the father could
carry it away for burial. A stronger guard
was then placed around the infected house,
at safe distance, and the inmates were cut
off from all communication, except through a
physician. As a matter Of course the dis
ease reappeared in the family, and we learn
that the father, mother, brother and the
five remaining children are now down
with the disease, and the chances are that
they will all die. The inbuman barbarity
shown this family is disgraceful, and shame
to the people by whom it is pcrpetrated.

Slim Prospect for Sherl,l IN

The New York Sun ina AGNES that
s.ths domination Of Gen. Sherman at
Louisville viii not be adopted by eth
q ofthe great parties, but that it
will remain without any substantial
consequences. When he came to
Warrington last spring he was pre-
vailed upon to accept present of a
hundred and two Thousand dollars,
raised at General Grants special re-
quest, from Various citizens Of New
York and Nav England. His obli-
CATIONS toward Gcn Grant will keep
him in the background for some time
20 come. Gen. Grant is understood
hy these who are in the way of seeing
him Intimately to cherish deep de-
sire for q reelection. This feeling
will naturally grow stronger as the
decisive year of 1872 approaches;
and the influences which the Presi-
~dsnt can always bring to bear will
doubtless be cxertcd to secure for
him Tho nomination ufthc Republican
National Convention. As long as
Gen. Grant is candidate, Gen.
Sherman cannot and will not enter
the field; and wien it is determined
that the Republicans will not have
Grant. it will be too late for Sherman
to fish for their nomination: indeed
his relation to Grant would make it
difficult for him to accept nomlna-
tion which Grant had failed to secure
tkspghl it should be unanimously ten
sdefd to him
Besides it is not now probable that
in 1872 either patty will adopt mil
itory candidate. The experience of
the Republicans with Grant has been
such as to give them distrust of
shoulder straps in civil Office; and
even if he. sbeuld now forsake his fol-
lies and make sensible and success
ful ADMINISTRATION, he can hardly
cover, either for himself or for other
statesmen of military education. the
confidence he has forfeited. And as
for the Democrats, while. there is
nothing in General Sherman artc-
eedcnts, or in his political convictions
to forbid their taking him up. it is al
most certain that they will be less
,is,eipsh3to run military candidate
ins N72 than they have ever been be-
fore.
