RAILROAD LANDs.-The Shasta COuT-
ier of last week has the following " We
are advised by an officer of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company that an asso-
citation of Eastern and European capital
lists are negotiating for the purchase of all
the odd sections of land which may fall
to the Company in Shasta county, said
association having in view the settlement
of these lands by Eastern and European
colonists. The same parties, in the event
of making this purchase, propose to con-
struct canals taking water out OF living
streams for the irrigation of said lands.
In case this sale is made and canals dug,
it will be big thing for Shasta county.
1t will add greatly to our population, as
sessment roll and general prosperity and
there is every assurance thai the sale will
be made as soor as certain monetary pre-
liminaries are arranged with certain par
ties in Liverpool and New York, although
the actual transfer will not be made tor
some time TO come"

GOVERNOR b. GRATZ Brown has writ
ten IA letter of acceptance of the Liberal
Republican nomination for Vice Presi-
dent. 1t is a somewhat lengthy review
and cordial endorsement of the Cincin.
natl platform, the greater portion being
devoted TO the amnesty question. Brown,
furious advocate Of General Amnesty
now, entertans very different opinions
from Brown few years ago. As early
as 1863 he urged disfranchisement in
Missouri on this ground
4" 1t is not within the thought of this
nation and this people that they who have
engaged in this resistance and rebellion,
whether openly in arms or stea,thily by
device. and talsehood, shall ever in the
future have the means OF controlling OuI
institutions or shaping our policies. Fran.
chtSe is not for Such-cdnit0t be for Such
-Vtu not be for such"
When the Constitution was framed, he
was strongly opposed to many features in
it, but waved everything in consideration
of disfranchisement. AS late MS 1866 he
wrote
" l need scarcely say that I am one OF
those who have from the beginning be-
lieved that the loyal and unloyal can
never live in Missouri together, and the
latter must be forced to depart, and
believe that registration is the only mode
that will accomplish it,"
Oh, Consistency, thou jewel, hast thou
fled from the face of the earth, and like
Truth taken up thine abode at the bottom
of well ? Greeley the fierce Protec-
tionist," the candidate of the Revenue
Reformers, and Brown, the champion OF
DisfranchiSement in Missouri, now the
representative of General Amnesty. 1t
is the very sublimity of absurdity, and as
ridiculous as it is absurd.

SUMNER has made malignant attack
upon the President in four hours speech
and this at the close of the session when
the time of the Senate was most valuable.
The Massachusetts Senator presents the
not unusual spectacle of great talents
Joined with arrogant egotism and petu-
liant temper so AS 10 render them worse
than useless to him and the country
During the whole of his Senatorial career
Sumner has been little else than cen.
serious critic of others. 1t has not been
his part to offer kindly advice, but on the
contrary his opinions are dictated in the
tone of master. For his friends he has
no word OF praise, but towards his oppo-
nents his tongue is stepped in gall and
bitterness. He is not now, never was and
never will be in sympathy with his col.
leagues or the people. II this is states
manship we want none of it.

THE S. +. Commercial says: "There
seems to be a strong disposition on the
part of several banking establishments
to embrace the gold note system in their
operations, being melted thereto by the
comparatively moderate rate of interest
obtainable, which renders the six per
cent. interest allowed on gold notes val
liable consideration. The larger institu-
tions are restrained from going into this
business because no one bank is permit
ted to have a circulation of over one mil
lion. A very decided change has occur
red in public opinion in reference to this
kind of paper money. At first they were
generally received with something like
distrust and doubt, but they have now
become so popular that the First Gold
Note Bank of San Francisco is compelled
to send out and purchase its own notes,
its supplies having been exhausted. They
are particularly acceptable to farmers
and country dealers, and are in request
by parties from the East, who find coin
rather Embarrassing to their unaccustomed
fingers"

A CENTER SHOT.--The Worcester
(Mass.) Spy says Horace Greeley has
professed to oppose General Grant on the
ground that, in his view, no President
should hold the Office longer than one
term. Such ground of opposition had
not occurred to him sixteen months ago,
when he himself proposed to have Gen
eral Grant nominated for second term,
January 5, 1871, at a political meeting in
New York city, he delivered a speech in
which he praised the Administration
and uttered these words While assert
ing the right Of every Republican to his
untrammeled choice of candidate for
next President until a nomination is
made, venture to suggest that General
Grant will be far better qualified for that
momentous trust in 1872 than he was in
1861 Men call Mr.. Greeley honest, and
we don't believe he has ever been thief.
But is it honest to talk as he does now of
the one term device and forget that
he ever talked otherwise |? Certain there
was time when he proposed second
term for President Grant, and gave a
good reason for doing sO."
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-06-08

A Nut FOR SECRETARY Boutwell,
The following we find in the Bulletin cor
respondence from Inyo county q shall
conclude with a brief account of the fnan-
cial system of this place, and, indeed, of
all Inyo county. As may be easily i'm
agined, where the difficulties in the way
of transportation are so great, and the
cost SO heavy, it is impossible TO keep
any large amount of metallic currency in
circulation. Besides, did the merchants
and others in the county have to ship
money Il mean coin) to and from San
Francisco, and travel with it upon their
persons, they would be constantly ex-
posed to robbery in crossing the great
desert and the other isolated places
through which the stage-road passes.
The cost of transporting money by ex-
press, from your city, is five per cent.-a
rate which would be simply ruinous. In
such an emergency, naturally enough,
paper money was an important desidera-
tum, and accordingly paper money was
issued. Notes, fashioned something in
the semblance of bank notes, were print
ed, and without Secretary, Comptroller
or Commissioner, these people entered
upon financial system entirely their
own. 1t consists simply in the issuance
of these notes, their utterers giving no
guarantee but good faith to redeem them
at par. They are issued only by the
managers of the four mills mentioned,
which prevents confusion and initiation.
The person taking them really runs no
risk, for the ore which is in sight is re-
garded as good enough security. These
notes are absolutely current in the county
AS absolutely as are greenbacks in New
York. They cover all denominations OF
money issued by the except,
of course, fractions of q dolar-so that
no difficulty is experienced in conducting
business with them. When the person
receiving them, be he merchant, trades
man, farmer or whatever else, wants to
remit money out Of the county, he gath
ers together all these notes and dispatches
them to their respective utterers, and in
exchange receives a sight draft on San
Francisco. When a note is lost, or worn
out, or anything of that sort, the advant-
age is with the person who issues ito
say nothing of the premium which he
clears by saving transportation an contin-
ually turning over the money of Others
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-06-08

BowLEs ON THE CINCINNATI Con-
vENTIoN.-Sam. Bowles, though advis-
ing the Philadelphia Convention to in
dorse Greeley, cannot be very well pleased
with the Cincinnati Convention, for he
talks of it like this in his paper, the
Springfield Republican at was sum-
moned from the discontented. The the
oretical reformer was there in force, so
were the disappointed place-seekers and
corrupt intriguer. There were good men
who were not wise, and there were wise
men who were not good. There were
practiced politicians, and statesmen, ear
nest, even hot headed doctrinaries, while
what are known in the usual dictionary
of society as the Damphool family were
largely represented"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-06-08

THE New York Times remarks that
the efforts of the opposition to confuse
the real issue Of the coming canvass, viz
whether it is wise or proper to elect a
nominal Republican as President to carry
out reactionary Democratic policy, by
abuse of the Administration, will not
work. Fifteen Congressional Commit.
tees of investigation have been inquirine
into General Grants conduct, and have
found nothing against him, which fact i,
the best answer to all the slanders invent
ed by the piebald opposition.
