FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

The estimates for the expenses of the Gov
ernmeDt for the next fiscal year are Sis, 2f4, 346
less than for The current one, but exceed the
appropriation or the present year for the
same items $S,972, 1876. In this estimate, how
ever, is Included S22, 33s, as 81 for public works
heretofore begun under congressional pro
visions and of which only so much is asked as
Congress may choose to give. The appropri-
alton for the same works for the present fiscal
year was ST., 9S4,5lS.0S.
The average value of gold az compared with
national currency for the whole year of 1869
was about 1874, and Tor seven months of 1870
the same relative value has been about 115
The approach to specie basis is very crafty
ing, but the fact cannot be denied that the I'M
stability of the value of orr currency is preju-
diced to our prosperity, and tends to keep up
prices to the detrment of trade. The evils of
deprecated and auctuating currency are so
great that now when the premium on gold has
fallen SO much it would seem that the time as
now arrived when by a wise and prudent legis-
lation Congress should look to policy which
would place our currency at par with gold at no
distant dav.

A Coon IDEA.-It has been suggested that the
Finance Committee Of the Fourth of July Cele-
bration appropriate the surplus funds left after
paying all demands. TO the construction of a good
PICKET fence in front Of the public school house.
This is an excellent suggestion, and we hope it
will lie carried ous. and il those funds fall short
= get up ball, concert, lecture, or something OF
the kind, to raise means to complete the work.
The school lot is large and beautiful plat of
grou nd, and il looks bad to suffer the old rickety
fence to remain in front Of it longrr. We Qhere
goes another terrible plural pronoun that may
again give our neighbor the nightmare and send
him prowling through Murray. Krkham, Smith
= and Lord Byron's works in search OF technicali-
ties. Well let those who are made for small mat
ters atiend to thcm) purchased and planted the
locust trees in front OF the school lot at our (not

Sr. PATRICK MI>E.-On Ii esday last the owners
Of this mine. Ophir. came up from below
and crossed over from Newcastle TO the claim
It is sad the Claim is in good sh ,pc, ard is show
ing gold and gross bullion finely in both the
shafts and drifts. The Grass Valley Union in its
Issue oil Thursday last, in speaking of his mine
says: "1hc ST. Patrick mine, near Ophir. in
Placer county, is justly attrA citing the attention
OF capitalists. Heretofore all The work done on
this mine consisted in sinking a shaft on the
ledge. This shaking gave rock which paid enor-
mousy, and showed every indication OF Il perfect
ledge. New drifts are being run from the shalt
and these drifts show rich rock to the side OF the
shaft demonstrating that the paying part of the
ledge is not confined to the shaft. The more the
ST. Patrick lie opened the better are its prospects.
San Francisco capitalists are visiting the ST.
Patrick with an eye to investment" The own
ers of the mine were formerly Grass Valley
miners, but have now probably struck better

water bill refused or failed to pay, and under the
instructions Of the Company's officers, Mr. Rod
gers shut of the water, but as soon AZ the agent
was goue Coleman would hoist the gate and con-
tiuue to use the water-in fact steal it. This

last Wednesday morning, when, while Rodgers

ed anu laying in wait for the opportunity. The
blow fractured the forward part OF the skull in

that the wounds may prove fatal. Mr.. Rodgers
