MISPLACED CoNFIDENCE.-The Sacramento
Union having put forth candidates for Speak
err and Clerk of the Assembly, which were
beat way out of sight in the caucus of Mon
day night, in its issue of the next day, COM
ments on the result, telling its readers that
the Assembly Committees are given to the
railway party and against the interest of the
public, and expresses little hope of the rail
way monopoly being disturbed this session.
This is the first set back the Union has met
with since it commenced running Booth and
Pacheco, every thing has been lovely until
the favorites it used every exertion to elect be-
gin to act in their official capacity. Instead
of announcing another numerical victory,
the editor of that Independent sheet says
1--WE know and declare that in its action last
night, the caucus of the Republican party
betrayed the wishes of the vast majority of
the voters" If some of the gentlemen elect
ed on the State ticket betray, as the Members
of the Assembly have done, that is, not allow
the Union to run them, we shall expect to
see numerous obituary notices of lost conf
dence during the next few months. The
Union has become so distrustful of those it
was patting on the back, that it now asks ey-
erybody to watch them.

A DIscRAcErUL AssAuLr,-Delos Lake,
Judge of the Municipal Criminal Court of
San Francisco, on Friday of last week, for
getting the dignity that should be observed
by one occupying his position, attacked one
of the proprietors Of the Chroaicle, on Mont
gomery Street, with a cane and pistol. Judge
Lake whose term is about expiring, and was
defeated for reelection in October, was pur
sued very bitterly by the C5ronicle before
and since the election, which has caused him
to trample on the laws that he has sworn to
have properly executed. There is no excuse
for judge to assail and physically wound
any party, such conduct brings Courts and
Judges into disrepute. Newspapers will crit
icise and may say harsh and many times I'M
true things of Judges, but that viii not justi-
fy the use of deadly weapons. Judge Lake
has the reputation of severely Furnishing of
tenders that were tried before him. 1t now
remains to be seen, il he will be punished in
accordance with his own standard, which he
deserves.

MAIL DERAsGEaESr.-Last Saturday no
mail was received at this place. We don I
know whose fault it was, though report said,
the Post Master at Stockton was not mp in
time to deliver it at the cars. Having nolet-
tiers or papers from Friday until Monday
makes il lonesome for Sunday readers. We
should have passed over the missing mail of
Saturday without further comment had there
been no more Interruptions. But on Thurs
day evening the stage came without tie mail
again. Now, somebody is ae fault for these
Irregularities that are causing much incon-
venience to our business men and the people
generally. We trust the Post Master here
will take pains to find out where the fault
lies. We feel like seolding somebody but
don't know whether to pitch into the Post
Master at Stockton. the Railroad or Stage
company or the Driver, who, it is limited is
in the habit of being in a great hurry when
leaving the cars and not paying the proper
attention to the mail bags.

The Erie Canal is a great work, but a more
wonderful canal traverses every part of the
human body, and is filled with blood. Myr-
lads of tiny boats loaded with waste water,
worn out and thrown off by the system, pass
through this canal other boats carry fresh
matter, made from the food into every part,
and the two processes never cease during life.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREsau

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TREsAURY
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The following are
the leading points in the report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury lie says that the pub
lie finances have shared the general pros
perity. During the year now closing the re-
duction in the public debt for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, was $94, 327, ia. The to-
tai decrease from March, lst, 1869, to De-
cember lst, 1871, was S277, oil ,s92. During
the same period, the annual interest has been
reduced SIG, al, 436. The revenue shows
the time has arrived when considerable fur
Their reduction can be made and leave the
Government in a position to pay 10000, 900
annually of the principal of the debt, includ-
ing the amount pledged through the Sinking
Fund. He adheres to the recommendations
in the last annual report, that the country re-
quires a revenue sufficient to meet ordinary
expenses of the Government and pay interest
on the public debt. He says that the power
to negotiate large loan, at FIVE per cent. and
enter upon negotiations for the sale of bonds
drawing from five to four and half per cent
is derived entirely from an honest purpose on
the part of the people to maintain the public
faith. 1t is practicable to dispense with all
internal taxes, except that derived from the
stamps on spirits, tobacco and malt liquors;
estimated reduction, SIG, 100000. 1t recon-
mends the reduction of duties on salt, btu
minous coal, raw hides and skins, and large
additions to the free list The estimated re-
ducsion would be S20,000,000, and the total
reduction $50, 100000. In his suggestion
in reference to the reduction of taxes, he be-
lieves in the ability of the nation to pay at
least $50, 900 900 annually of the principal of
the debt and that in change of revenue
system no violence need be done to the bust
ness interests of the country.

OLD wings AND THE DEMOCRATIC


We take the following from the last issue
Of the Tennessee Republican, the leading
Radical paper in West Tennessee, published
nj Huntingdon:
In the three past issues of this paper we
have unged upon the old line Wings of Ten
nessee che utter folly of retaining their
connection with the Democratic party. We
have endeavored, in sober earnestness and
10 all candoT, to point out to them the Sun
natural association" subsisting between
them and party with which they have not
had, and have not now a single principle in
common. The articles which we have pub
lished upon this subject have not passed IN
noticed by the reading public, nor have
they failed to receive attention at
the hands of our journalistic breth-
rem. No attempt has been made to con-
trovert our positions or TO refute our argu-
merits, because this could not be successfully
done. The only attempt to break their
force has been by ridicule, which, as has
been truly said, is usually, the evidence of
q weak mind, or bad cause. We know
that whatever objections old line Wings
may have to the Republican party, or the
administration of President Grant, that they
are not, and cam o. be, in the party sense
in which that word is used, Democrats.
While. by the force of circu. Instances, they
have for he time been drifted into that or
gsnization, they can have no hearty SYM
patty with it."
We regret to say that the Radical editor
Of the Republican is not the only ''old
Whig'' editor who entertains the same
view. Bat they are few and far between.
Only pebbles in the great torrent of public
opinion.

iT has been announced in the Radical
press, with considerable flourish, that Hon.
G. Il. Parker, Of Davenport, Iowa, one
Of ''the prominent Democrats" of that
State, has written a letter In which he
pronounced the Democratic party dead,
and urged the abandonment Of its Or
ganization. The Detroit Free Press says
"Hon. G. Fl. Parker is not disinter-
ested counselor in regard to the policy
which he would have the Democratic
party pursue. He ieft that party ten years
ago and expected to see its death inn
medistely follow, but it did not die. BE
was Mr.. Lincoln's government detective at
Chicago for some years during the war, and
has not pretended 70 act with the Demo-
cratic party since that time any more than
he did then. That he should want the
Democratic party, as such, to give up its
orgsslzafion is natural. He undoubtedly
feels ashamed of his present party associa-
tons, and wants new deal, under the
hope that he may, in that way, fall again in
70 decent political company. Hon. George
n. Parker of Davenport, Iowa, is not alone
La his anxieties.r

The London Satstrdoa Reoisg, ! leading
English literary authority, in It's issue Of
Nov. rs, pays a lengthy critical and well
deserved compliment to Commodore Maui
rvs series of Biographies, from which we
extract the subjoined. Commodore Mau-.
rvs reputation as a scientist was world
wide before the war. His exclusion from
the honors and emoluments Of Federal APP
pOintmenis has given more practical turn
TO bis literary efforts, of which his series of
biographies Is result. As anatise often
nessee the glory and renownof Commodore
Maury in whatever worthy and honorable
walk It may be won, win ever be peculiarly
gratifying TO Tennesseesns. The following
Is the extract which we make from the
Saturday Reuie,o:
/. DIR. NJ. +, Maury's Biographies are espe-
cially adapted TO excite the curiosity Of
boys and girls, and to make that which, as
taught to our children, is about the duliest
and most tedious of all dry matters Of rou-
tine, the agreeable and interesting subject
ii ought to be. The volume now before as
(the MaaauGi) is fitted to be the delight of
any schoolroom in which the teacher Is not
utterly and hopelessly unfit 10 teach 1t
contriVes to make the geographical defli-
tions to which children so rarely learn to
attach a meaning intelligible at sight, by
an illustration in which each of the COM
mon terms of physical geography-cont
nent, island, sound, strait, ocean,
sea, mountain, tableland, etc-is clear
ly presented to the readers
eye. 1t contains, not only the ordinary
maps which show the political demarcations
of mankind, but physical mapsin which the
great natural features of every region are
shown with equal distinctness. And, final
", multitude Of illustrations attach liv-
ing interest and visible meaning 70 the multi
tude ofnames and facts which form the druid
geryof geography; presenting to the sight
and intelligence OF the pupil characteristic
scenes which his memory viii ever after as
sociate with the names of capitals, the
course of rivers, the local scenery, fora,
fauna, history, and industrial OCCUPATIONS
which the writers of English text books ex-
pect him to learn by rote. We can heartily
recommend this volume, and its compan-
ions, to the use of every family and to the
junior classes of every school; and we are
sure that where it is adopted the geography
lesson will become suddenly and surprising
ly popular. b

bHAI Ef1E dWUHH8& NEEDS.
Gen. Grant Ia concluding bis letter ac-.
cepting the Republican nomination for the
Presidency said:
Peace and universal prosperity, its Sc
quence, with economy of administration,
viii tighten the burden of taxation, while Il
constantly reduces the national debt. Let
US have peace. ss',.s.s'-'sss
These were good words, and brayely spo-
ken. Upon the utseranee Of. them the
whole American heart, North and South,
tired and sick of war and It's consequences,
went out warmly and yearningly to the au-
thor of the noble sentiments herein con-
veyed. But the administration of President
Grant is dawning near to its close and still
the yearning of the American heart, North
and South, tired and sick of war and its
consequences, is for peace, true and genuine
peace. Not that peace which comes at the
lannon's mouth and the bayonet;s point;
not that peace which is dearly purchased by
a suspension of the writ Of hGbeas corpus
and an abrupt violation of the right Of trial
by jury; not that peace which GENES from
the imposition of disfranchisement and DO
litical disabilities; not that peace which
comes from the enforcement Of high
ly penal retrospective Congressional
legislation; not that peace which
is obtained by bribery and corruption and
the prostitution of high official position;not
that peace which follows disgraceful dis
regard of every vital principle of repubH-
can constitutional government; not that
peace, which, instead of bringing s'univers-
al prosperity" brings universal and depress-
ing adversely; which, instead of tightening
the burden of taxation and constantly re-
ducing the public debt, increases both and
decreases the means of the people for pay
ing the former, and of the government in
meeting the latter; not such peace, but
peace which comes from the warm heart,
from brotherly love; that peace. which is
good win to all mankind, and brings by
Cancellation, universal reconciliation. Such
peace President Grant. may yet give us,H he
viii drive away the evil counselcrs, who
have beset him from the day of his inapqu-
ration to the present time. If he will turn
deaf ear to their cursed advice, if he will
spit upon their proffers of money, houses
and lands, he may yet redeem his name
from the Shiny pool of imperishable in
fanny into which they viii plunge it. If he
would do this, he must reshape his cabinet,
and turn out first the member last admit
ted, who mounts the stump upon the first
opportunity to utter threats against States
and citizens, upon peculiar suspicious of
conspiracy against private rights or the
public veal.
The universal public demand made upon
the President is for peace, permanent peace
founded upon Wisdom, Mod Grafton and
Justice.
