The Emperor Yields

PARIS, July 13-As predicted l would
be the case, in previous dispatches, the
Emperor, Louis Napoleon, yields his
assent to the demand of the legislative
bodies the nature of which has been al
ready published. The change of Minis
try is not yet announced, but the reor-
ganization of the Cabinet within short
time is certain Throughout the whole
of this crisis the Emperor has exercised
his usual tact and shrcwdness.
He invited nearly all the Deputies in
the Corps Lcgislatif to dinner and sol
rec at St Cloud this week. He has chat
ted playfully with many of them of all
shades Of opinion. giving expression to
many of those piquant sayings so at
tractivc to Frenchmcn. For Instance, TO
one by whom he had bcen taken by the
button hole, he said, "Ah, Monsieur
Buffet, you mean TO take hold of my coat
for fear may pull back" To group
of several, with, whom he was convcr-
sing on the situation, he said: "You be-
gin to treat me like the old lion in the
fable: trying to cut MY halls dnd take
out my teeth, and leave me nothing but
my name, which is considered harmless
To others he said:
ssThe elections prove clearly that l
must choose between the Empire and
revolution; between neither can individ-
uals be set up" TO others he said 81
will give full satisfaction to the liberal
aspirations of all parties, but have de-
cided to ccise concessions at the bound~
aries prescribed, in the Constitution
While the Empcrors conduct for the
past few days is regarded as airoit, it is
not considered as likely to stop the ag.
itation for further concessions and re-
forms. '.-
LONDON, July 6-The action of the
House of Lords on the Irish Church bill
has caused intense excitement Messrs.
Bright and Gladstone are in receipt of
letters daily from persons oflcring2 re-
commencement of the Reform League
agitation, but they discountenanee the
movement for the present and express
the belief that the Lords will recede
at the last moment from their opposition
to the will of the people though q com
promise is effected in the postponement
of the date of disestablishment to June,
1872, by paying in lump the sum of
half million pounds in lieu Of private
donations.
The following letter has been circulat
ed privately among known progress
Sivcs
Sir: In view of probable failure of
the Irish Church bill, through the op
position of the House of Lords to the
Government, to the Commons and the
country, you are requested to inform
the Secretary of the Reform League,
whether you are willing that your name
shall be used IN the event of defeat of
that measure, to apublic call for a mass
meeting TO consider the past constitu-
tional method of getting rid of this OBJ
struction to legislation, based upon the
expressed will of the people. lisa

PARIS, July a. All the ministers have
resigned. The designations of NJ. NJ.
Rougher and Lavalet have been accept
ed by the Emperor. The other mem
bers of the Cabinet remain. The new
Ministry will be transitional one. Emile
Olivere has refused portfolio for the
present, but will probably accept it in the
end. The Radicals are indignant at the
prorogation of the Legislatif body.

The Radical State Central Conn
mItfe3.

COLUMBUS, o., July 1.-THE Radical
State Central Comittee was called to meet
with the Radical State Executive Com
mittee and the Radical candidates this
afternoon. There was fair attendance,
but few of the members Of the commit
tee were absent William Henry Smith,
of the Chronicle, and Richard Smith, of
the Gazette, were ON hand. twas rather
a cheerless gathering. The Radicals
have become, it seems exceedingly blue
over the political situation; defeat stares
them in the face, and they feel it. They
however, decided to go through the mo-
tions of campaign. Senator Morton,
Of Indiana, was selected to open it for
them, but the time and place were not
named.
The merciless criticisms of the speechs
of Governor Hays and Lee by the Dem
ocratic press, which are so damaging to
the Radical policy in Ohio just now,
were discussed, and Hayes was requested
to revise and modify his speech SO as to
render it less obnoxious to Democratic
criticism. The Journal editors, who
were present, were instructed to keep
pegging away at the Legislature, which
they agreed to do, as specially, even
though it was admitted thatthe Demo
cracy held the vantage ground in the
matter of economy and retrenehment.
The nominations of the Democratic State
Convention have completely dcmoraliz-

LONDON, July 13-The debate on the
Irish Church bill in the House of Lords
was resumed astnight. Earl Clarncarty
moved its third reading be postponed

protest against the bill. The bill was
then read a third time and an amend
ment adopted by vote oflS0 to 50, omit
ting the clause permitting Bishops to re-
tain their seat. A proyiso was adopted

sidences and globes for Catholic and

War in Cata.

Desperate measures are about to be resorted
to, by the revolutionists in Cuba, which II car
rcd out must create great distress In that Island
and very serious results in the commercial In
terests Of neighboring couhtrise.
General Ccspedcs, President Of the Cuban
republic, has issued decree urging the Cubans
devoted to the cause Of independence to the de-
structiou Of every sugar cane Seld on the island,
aud that "the ripening tobacco crop be also
destroyed as far as may be, whether In the field
or sfter gathered for curing" The object Is to
reluce as far as possible the revenues Of $751;.
ooo,0 900 which Spain derives from Cuban sugar,
tobacco and other products, and from which she
obtains her sinews of war. The emancpated
blacks, who know every plantation, road, and
bypath in the island. are to be chiefly employed
in this war Of Ere. "The more eiiectual." says
Ccspedes, "this work Of destruction is accom-
plished the more swiftly will our holy cause be
and the goal of freedom reached"
This has q startling sound; but such is war. 1t
Is precisely the course pursued by Sheridan,
under the orders Of Grant. in the Shenandoah
Valley, and by Sherman on leaving Atlanta for
his march to the sea. Ccspedcs evidently means
to strike such blows as shall make the enemy
writhe. Such terrible determinations mean
more than mere skirmishing, and such
q devastating illumination must arouse the at
tention of other powers. as to the cxpcdiency Of
some decisive measures Of intervention. Whether
our Nation can remain neutral with such state
Of things remains to be seen.

Financial.

1t would be a great Improvement II the
Secretary of the Treasury, like the Chan
cellor Of the Exchequer in England, were
allowed to appear in person In the House
of Representatives and announce the con-
dtion Of the Treasury, and develop his
plans and his suggestions for the future.
From his position he may be supposed to
know more upon these points than any
other person, and rs he Is to be held re-
sponsible for all matters pertaining to the
most critical and important Government
interest. he should have an opportunity to
meet objections, TO make suggestions and
10 urge. uirI rocc, the measures he would
have adopted. Under the present system,
n member of Congress, simply from MS
position. without any special knowledge
of tho subject. not infrcquently because OF
his entire ignorance. can. by simple mo-
ton, by getting up laugh even, ctaside
and make of no account athoroughly ma
turcd plan of the Secretary, which, were
he present. he nigh. save. The average
wisdom of members Of Congress upon IL
nancial matters is very limited, and there
is no more amusing reading. than the
plans for settlin. all financial difficulties
and rcsuming specie payments. to be found
in the columns Of the Congressional
Globe.
Questions about finance and taxation
anil the two are intimately connected
will be the all-absorbing questions before
the next Congress; for something must
be done TO bring the currency OF this
country to basis corresponding with that
of other commercial nations, or business
men will despair, and spectators and
gamblers in gold and stocks will absorb
all the capital of the country. Already,
mercantile paper, having sixty or ninety
DAYS TO run, is voted "slow" in Wall street
and u proposition is made, that a Bank
with n very large capital shall be organ
lied. to discount commercial paper and
nothing else.
Taxation. to which we must reconcile
ourselves for some time to come, needs to
be regulated. not alone in reference to
paying the debt, but rs to its effect upon
the industry and commerce oil tho eoun-
try. Arranged judieiously, 1t will cease
to be odious and be borne cheerfully, ex-
cept by those to whom the word tax is an
offence. If levied simply to pay large
amount of debt in any one year, 1t will
defeat itself; for the ability Of the COM
munity to pay will be thereby diminished,
Retain the income-tax, for then you are
sure of certain sum, and that there shall
be no deficiency, diminish the burdens
upon industry and commerce, collect the
whole of the taxes, add economy. and
business will revive. the vast resources OF
the country be developed. and tho debt
steadily lessen year by year.

To get the cost Of the above in currency,

In a journey Of two hundred miles you can
find any climate you wish from 20 degrees be
low Tin the Sierras) to 90 degrees above. In
October gentle rains sometimes fall, though the
rainy season which continues until March. does
not properly begin until November. In Deem
Der the farmers commence their blowing and the
crops get grown by May and then are harvested
during the summer months as wanted. This
year no rain fell from the middle Of March to
the 10th Of October. These dry months are the
ripening months in which nothing is grown not
irrigated by water pumped from wells by means
Of wind-mills. Every ranch (arm) has gar
den, aud every garden has its windmill. OF
the $1,000, 900 acres Of agricultural lands in
the State not over 10 per cent. are under cult
walton. One great drawback to the settlement
Of the farming lands, is owing to the difficulty
Of obtaining valid titles. When the country
Was conquered from Mexico the old original IT,
ties to lands held by the Spaniards were not Oh.
liberated as they should have been, and hence
the troubles. Government took possession only
Of those acres owned by the Mexican govern
ment, and many Of those who have purchased
lands in the interior which were Spanish grants,
have paid twice and thrse times over to different
persons who haze claimed and proved their IL
ties. II you purchase Of Government you are
secure. Of eourse, but not otherwise II your pur-
chase Is interior lands. The most noticeable fea-
turc in the agriculture Of California Is her pro-
duction Of grain Of almost al kinds and Of uni
vsral good quality. The extreme dryness Of
summer and the vast multitudes Of small insec-
tiverUus birds combined keep down insect life,
and farmers are thereby spared losses that are
very extensive and common in the other States
Of the Union. Grain ripens in the Geld to ade-
gree Of dryness that gives II great preserystive
qualities and protects II fjr long periods against
the rsvascs Of weevil and other insects AFTER
harvest. Wheat Is the most valuable grain and
most extensively raised Of any single sgricul-
tural product in the State, the County Asscs-
sors' returns for 1867 showing that while only
1851 $50 acres wers all that was cultivated,
the amount sown in wheat that year va. $685.

The Department Of State had not then oficial-
" received notice Of the ratification Of Virginia
which had been given. This makes the num-
Der Of actual ratihcations thus far twenty-oue.
There being thirty-seven States In the Union,
the requisite three-fourths for rstifing q con-
stitutional amendment would be twenty eight.
Seven more, therefore, are wanted. Rhode Is
land Is sure, though she has delayed action till
the next session Of her Legislature. The Repub-
licans have recently carried Alabama, Iowa,
Minnesota, Ohio and Vermont. These make six
States Of the requisite seven. Tex. and Mis-
sssippi are required by the reconstruction acts
to record their ratification Of the Fifteenth
Amendment as condition Of their restoration
to the Union. The two leading parties In each

An extensive gang Of counterfeters in New
York engaged In manufacturing bogus stamps,
bonds &C., has been taken up. These stamps
are Of finest execution. Several governmen
officials who examined them arc unable to detect
their worthlcssness. Investigations resulted in
the discovery. IS alleged, that Hart Pierce, Of
No. 80 Nassau street, was q member Of the gang.
Pierce Is an accomplished engraver, q native OF
New York, and 38 years old. II being evident
that more important individuals were behind
Pierce, watch was set on his door, which led
to the discovery that Col. Robert Clark, who
during the war commanded the 18th New York
volunteers, and whose military reputation was
good, was q constant visitor Of Pierce. Clark
occupied suit Of rooms at 1877 East 18th street.
On October goth Whitley made descent upon
the prisoners quarters, arrested Pierce and
seized all the dies and IN .chinery used In coun-
terfeiting among which was . very costly
press for transferring. Amer the seizure OF the
premises Clark came in and was arrested, and
on the examination Of his apartments abundant
evidence Of his guilt were fouad. One valise
contained plate for GO pound Tobacco stamp,
dies, q large quantity Of two hundred and ten
pound stamps, together with about $4,000
worth Of clean, genuine stamps, The place
where they were printed was found TO be on
Staten Island where John Ripon, m English
man, steel and copper plate printer, W. B.

rested. An engraver named Reuben Carpenter
