WHY ENGLAND RELINQUIsHED ORE
GoN.-Every disciple of Izak Walton
knows that salmon will not take the hook
in their spawning journeys. but it is not
generally known that the inhabitants of
British Columbia attribute to this fact the
loss to England of Oregon and Washing.
ton Territory. In recent speech deliver
ed by DR., Helmkean before the Colonial
Assembly at Victoria, on the San Juan
boundary question, he gave the following
explanation of the causes that led to the
cession of that country to the United States
'In lS45, when negotiations were pending
between Great Britain and the United
States in regard to the boundary line,
Great Britain claimed the country known
as Oregon and Washington Territory.
The British ships-of-war were sent out to
examine the country and report to the
British Ministry upon its value. The
Earl of Aberdeen was Premier at the time :;
the commander of one of the ships was the
EarPs brother, and he with others went
ashore and tried to catch salmon with flies.
The salmon wouldn't take the flies, and
the officers caught no fish When they
returned to their ship the Earl's brother
wrote home that the country was not worth
farthing. and the British Ministry re-
linquished all claims.

AN EXAMPLE FOR CALIFoRNIA.-In
Iowa the planting of trees is encouraged by
law. Every acre of forest trees planted
releases taxation for ten years on one
hundred dollars valuation. and for each
acre of fruit trees planted tax is exempted
on fifty dollars valuation for FIVE years j;
and the same for shade trees and hedges
along the highways. There are now
maple forests in several counties, from
which sugar is made, where fifteen years
since was nothing but wild prairie grass
and hazel shrubs.

n To the Editor of the New York Herald
Sir: I have been skirting the Texas
frontier for the past month, and here for
the first timeI meet files of Eastern papers,
by which l see quite an unnecessary muss
has been raised by a purported speech
made by me at supper of the Union
- League of New Orleans the night preced-
ing my departure from that city Who
ever reported that as a speech by me CON-
mitted breach of propriety, for Governor
Warmoth presided, and before consented
$. to respond to a call, was assured by the
President of the Society that no reporters
were present, and that whatever was said
would be sacred and confined to the per-
sons present. Now as to politics. Think
all my personal friends know my deep
seated antipatby to the subject, yet as you
seem not to understand me, / hereby state,
and mean all that say that never have
been and never will be candidate for
President; that if nominated by either
t- party, should peremptorily decline, and
evenaif unanimously elected, should de-
cline to serve
If you can find language stronger to con-
vey this meaning, you are at liberty to us

GOVERNOR HAIGHT AND HIS CHINA
MEN.-We have on several occasions,
alluded at length to the treachery to the
people of the distinguished double handed
humbug that occupies the gubernatorial
chair of our State. A gentleman at our
elbow, prominent citizen of Oakland,
informs us that during the last campaign,
when his excellency was calling upon all
classes to oppose the immigration and en-
ployment of Chinese laborers, he, this i'm
maeulate protector and friend of the labor
ing masses, had at the time in his employ
no less than twenty-three Cinnamon, work
ing on his farm in Alameda And yet
this pharasaical railroad tool in disguise,
this representative and well fed counsel of
the mouied interest of San Francisco and
Sacramento, proposes to go before the
same people whom he has betrayed, to 90
to the anti -coolieists of California, and ask
them to return him to the exalted position
be has disgraced by his vascilating course,
that he may be again able to stab their
dearest interest on every occasion that the
wealthy classes may find it necessary
