The consultation committee from the

The members of the Liberal Conventian
then marched into the Opera House, where
the Democratic Convention was in session,
and were received with widest enthusiasm.
Governor Palmer, president Of the Lib
eral Convention, heartily indorsed the re-
nominations of the joint committee, and
joined hands with the Democrats in their
support. ,...... .-......,l
Gov. Allen, president Of the Democratic
Convention, said he desired to meet the adj
vances of the chairman of the Liberals in
the spirit in which they were made, and,
like Paul, forgetting the things that are,
strike hands with him in the common

AS the chairman of the two Conventions
advanced and clasped, another scene of
wild excitement ensued ; the delegates
cheering frantically for several minutes.

impression there is that the British Gov
ernment has ascertained that judgment
will be given by the court of arbitration in
favor OF the United States onall the various
counts.
London, June 2G.-The Echo this after
noon says, notwithstanding the misappre-
hension by the American representatives Of
the intention of their government relative
to the indirect claims, it has reason to be-
lieve that the Treaty of Washington is safe.
The Standard, however, is of the opposite
opinion.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGES.

Below we give the electoral colleges of the
different States under the Congressional ap-
portonment in force in 1868, and the new ap-
portonmeni 1t will be seen that there is a
net increase of forty-seven electors. Whether
those States which have failed to complete
their apportionments will be entitled to the
increase of electoral assignment will perhaps
be an interesting question. As, for instance,
the State of Pennsylvania has failed to reap
portion, and the question is whether it is en-
titled to 26 or % electoral votes. The fol-
lowing are the old and new colleges:

THAT INTERNAL TAx-The Examiner
says: "The amount of money plundered
from the people of this country by the Inter
nal Revenue Department in 1871 was $1S,-
375 ,3SS.20. That was rather large sum
to be gathered by an unconstitutional tax;
but what will the people say when informed
that the expense of assessing and collecting
<his tax was 81, ,225, ,36250? The Fifth
Auditor of the Treasury Department swears
or affirms to this fact, and we have no reason
to dispute his statement. Think of i'll ex-
claims an exchange. Nearly seven and a
quarter million dollars of this plunder went
into the pockets of the assessors and col
lectors. Are we not eaten up by office
holders? Is such robbery justifable? When
will it end ?" 1t will end when Grant and
his thieves go out Of office, and that will be
Oh the 4th of March, 1873.

San joaquin Republican

Fox SHEEP HERDERs Rs-The San Joaquin
Republican says "People often wonder
at the remarkable instinct displayed by we'll
trained shepherd dogs, but what will they
say when we tell them of band of sheep
that is guarded by foxes alone. The story
seems improbable, but of its truth we have
the most undoubted proof. On Whisky
Hill, in the vicinity of Jenny Lind, four
miles from Milton, may be seen almost any
day, large flock of sheep herded by foxes.
These guardians of the little lambs are three
in number-one gray fox and the other
two of the species known as the red fox. In
point of intelligence, these novel shepherds
are said to greatly surpass the best trained
shepherd dogs. They perform their work
well and from morning to night are ever on
the alert. The gray one seems to control ,
and in a great measure direct, the actions of
the other two. A gentleman informs us that
he saw the gray fox pursue and attack
a hog that had siezed lamb and was making
off with it. The contest was short and
sharp, and resulted in the hog dropping the
lamb and beating hasty retreat. The fox
picked up the apparently uninjured lamb and
carried it back to the flock. Dick Wilson,
Superintendent of the Salt Spring Valley
Water Company, and Samuel Eldridge, Of
the Bunker Hill Hydraulic Mining Company,
will vouch for the facts above stated.

The "AT1ANT1o" ON GRANT.-Mention
has been made that the atlantic MonUtly,
the ablest Republican magazine in the coun-
try, is opposed to the reelection of Grant.
The new departure is taken is taken in the
May number, in which, after enumerating
the many charges against the Administration
together with the excuses Of Grants sup
porters, it says:
"Those who distrust the Administration
have an underlying ground of complaint
which it would require a great deal to re-
move. 1t has often been repeated, but re-
petition does not weaken its force. 1t is,
that when General Grant was elected, four
years ago, it was the popular belief and
understanding that he would bend all his
energies to the work of purifying the gov
ernment, from the corruption into which
it had fallen, of assisting those whose object
it is to make political life in America once
more respectable and honorable. Instead of
doing this he has allied himself with the very
men whose names are by-words throughout
the country for those vices which he pro-
fessed his desire to root out; he has lent his
warm assistance to petty factions, warring
not for any political object but for the control
of pIunder, and now demands his reelection
on the strength of these services to his
country.

TBUE HEROISM.
Let others write of battles fought

Let others write of battles fought
On bloody, CHASTITY fields
Where honor greets the man who wins,
And death the man who yields;
But will write of him who fights
And vanquishes his sins,
Who struggles on through weary years
Against himself and wins.
He is hero staunch and brave,
Who fights an unseen foe,
And puts at last beneath his feet
His passions base and low.
And stands erect in manhood's might,
Undaunted, undismayed--
The bravest man that drew sword
In foray or in raid.
1t calls for something more than Drawn
Or muscle to overcome
An enemy who marches not
With banner, plume and drum
A foe, forever lurking nigh,
With silent, stealthy tread,
Forever near your board by day,
At night beside your bed
All honor, then, to that brave heart,
Though poor or rich he be,
Whe struggles with his baser part
Who conquers and is free!
He may not wear hero's crown,
Nor fill hero's grave,
But truth will place his name among
The bravest of the brave.

still, when presented to the people, it was Sc
verely criticised by some, and by others bit
terly condemned. In framing a government
best adapted to the requirements of all sac
rifces must be made by some. and these
are they who complained. But every OBJ
lection was ably met by Madison, Jay,
Hamilton and others, who held that local in
terests should give way to the greatest good
of the masses.

Power OLA LousE.-The Vallejo Recorder
of the 18th has the following:
"The finding Of a louse upon the pillow of
bed in Vallejo, it is said, resulted in the
removal of the capital to Sacramento in 1852.
The finding of three of the same vermin by a
member of the Frisbie Guard at the time of
the Inaugural shows the capital has been at
a 6lthier place. We move for a second re-
consideration to remove the capital.

CALIFORNIA BUTTER EAST.

The following high compliment to butter
from California is from the New York Sun
day Times of April 21st.
California now sends us fresh butter. No,
content with supplying our banks witt
gold and silver from her mines, our mer-
chants with cinnabar, sulpher and Other
"delcacies," our fruiters with grapes,
peaches and pears, our families with -four,
and our bon ripdnts with wine, the "mod-
ern Ophir" now steps into the butter trade.
Early last week our market was excited and
invigorated by the arrival of a quantity Of
that luxury in two pound rolls-a luxury of
the most dainty description. We tasted
some of iton Thursday, and regard it as an
excellent introduction to our citizens; for
although it CHANGED to be twenty-five in
stead of sixteen days en- route it had lost
none of its palatability. Coming in rolls
enveloped in brny cloth, and packed in
cases and in casks containing from sixty to
one hundred and fifty rolls each, it reached
this market cas- sweet as nut" and
created a sensation among epcures The
hotels, however, very soon absorbed the
entire importation, we are told, and, as the
butter brought good price, it did not much
affect the general trade. Philadelphia s
agents purchase so constantly and so literally
of the better class of butter arriving at this
market that really choice article is difficult
to obtain except 10y certain hotel contractors.
Is the expectation of butter by California
destined to remedy in partial degree this
table-evil? VIII Philadelphia be able to
satisfy her excessive butter want by means
of supply from California, leaving New
York to enjoy her own golden Goshen, be-
sides her tempting store from the Pacific :
CALIFORNIA; agricultural and pomological re-
sources are destined yet to awaken as great
a stir on the "Atlantic slope" as her mineral
resources produced here in the days of their
early development; but fruit and butter,
flour and wine, are things that touchngly
appeal to human bosoms, without regard to
sex Or condition, trade or profession. They
need no Wall-street manipuations to give
them popularity. They present their own
letters of recommendation, and are welcomed
in all phases of social life with a sincerity as
genuine as it is well directed.

lessness to its style, indicates corresponding
recklessness, Or rather independence as to
the speech of people.

beautiful incident illustrating the power and
unselfshness Of filial love. III the siege OF

had rendered great assistance to the general,
through which it finally fell into biz hands.
In return, he ordered their lives to be spared,
and gave them permission to take with them
out Of the city as much treasure as they
could carry. They accordingly both appeared
at the gate, one carrying his mother on his
back aud the other bis father; showing by
the act how much more precious they were
in their eyes than any amount of jewels OF
gold.
