Interesting to Pre- EmptiOn Settlers.

John G. McCalum, says the Union, Reg
ister of the Sacramento u. S. Land Office, has
written the following brief but comprehensive
letter in answer to pre-emption settler. 1t
contains information important to all pre-
empton settlers whose claims have not been
perfected. While condensed, the informa-
ton is given in plain language, and enables
every settler whose claim is uncontested to
be his own lawyer. We would advise set
tiers to file this paper OR cut out the following
letter for future reference:

WORCESTER.
THURSDAY. FEBRUARY o. 1871,

THE FRENcH ELECTIONS for members OF the
nafio1al assembly, were held yesterday. Some
days will pass, before we can have a complete
account Of the result, although we shall soon
know enough 70 form some Judgment OF the
reiatiye strength OF parties, at the polls.
Gambetta has been called TO order.
Several members OF the provisional government
have visited Bordeaux and taken control of
affairs in that part of France. They have form
ally cancelled Gambetta's obnoxious decree"
and taken measures to bring proceedings at
Bordeaux into harmony with the government at
Paris. But the mad behavior of Gambetta has
seriously weakened the republican hope of sue
cess in the elections, and rendered important
aid to the imperalsts and monarchists. There
are in France some wretches as mad and muir
derous as those who figured with such promi-
nence in the revolution Of 1898, but they seem
to be much less influential. They can meet by
themselves in Paris and applaud outcries for "a
Robespierre" and ''the guillotine' to appear
and ''save the country" but the people gener-
ally give them very little countenance. What
they do serves only to injure the republicans
by creating more active dread of the cred
Specter."
The republicans, under the most favorable
circumstances that harmony and wisdom could
create, would have against them the feeling
created by their failure to save Paris and drive
the Germans ont of France While it may be
true, that nothing is more successful than sue
cess it is true, also, that failure destroys pres
tige, weakens influence, and opens the way to
additional failures. If the wiser French repub
licans, after the insane demonstrations of Gam
beta and the other madmen, added to their
previous difficulty, can succeed in the elections
it will be surprising. Those who assume that
tie 0reaniSts have no chance of success, do not
well consider that they have some advantages
over the other parties. They did not make the
war. They are in no way res onsible for the
defeat. Their record is good, and the Count de
Paris is much esteemed in France. Would it
be surprising, if a majority of the French pee
pie sh uld now turn to them, 10 find safety,
peace, and order? There are three parties in
the field,-the republicans, the Orleanists, and
the Bonapartists The result of the contest will
soon be declared; and as the reds will show
miserably in the voting, we think it will lead TO
peace.

A NEW COOPERATIVE MANUFACTURING
ENTERPRIsE-Mr. S. b Sttt of this city, the
owner of the Camden wooden mills situated on
Cooper's creek in the upper end of Camden,
which have been idle for some time past, will
soon commence the manufacture of Wooleus on
large scale. There will be from three to four
hundred hands engaged, and the proprietor de-
signs to try tue experiment of giving all his EN-.
ployes an interest in the profits of the business
In order to accomplish this he proposes to en-
gage hrst-caSs hands at the same wages paid in
similar establishments. There is then to be an
account of the stock taken at such time within
two years as the proprietor may consider advis-
able. The books of accounts are to be made up
to that time, and after deduction tor rent of the
mill property and charges for repairs, altera-
tons, insurance, taxes, interest on capital, eX-
penses, and all charges incurred in carrying on
the business.
If, after making these deductions, there should
appear to be a net profit the proprietor prom
ises TO set aside thirty per cent of that profit to
be distributed pro rata among the EMPLOYEES
who shall at the time of taking account of
stock be actually employed at the mills, and
shall have faithfully observed the rules and req
ulations Of the establishment, in proportion to
the amount that each shall have earned from
the time of the starting of the mill, or of any
previous distribution. The proprietor reserves
to himself the right to dismiss any and all en-
poyes at any time; he also reserves to himself
the right to continue or discontinue the ar
rangement after the first account of stock, as he
may think proper, and in case it should con-
tinue, and any account of stock shall show
loss instead of profit, the amount of such loss
shall be carried forward as charge, to be taken
from future profits.
The owner of these mills has been led to adopt
this above plan by the success attending the CO.
operative system where it has been introduced
| in Europe, and he has tried the new arrange
| ment to limited extent at other mills of which
he is the proprietor, and has found il to be per-
fectly satisfactory, and it is hoped that by thus
| giving the employees an actual pecuniary inter
est, over and above their wages, that the bust
ness of the establishment may be so benefited as
to prove remunerative to the employer rs well as
| the employees. There are connected with the
mill property some forty comfortable brick
| dwellings, which will be rented to the operatives
at low rents, and arrangements will also prob
ably be made to supply coal, provisions, &C., at
cost prices philadelphia Ledger.
