Cor HIS MAD UP.--The Calaveras
Chronicle says: Days bill exempting
editors and reporters from jury duty was
defeated. During the discussion Of the
bill, several "grave and potent" Legis-
lators attempted to be facetious at the
expense of country editors. Humph If
it had not been for the efforts Of country
editors one-half of the members Of the
Assembly would be where they now be-
long-behind plow or hold Of pick
handle. Some Of the component parts Of
that interesting body haven't got brains
enough to run a threshing machine, let
alone a newspaper"

The SUTTER BILL.-Every session Of
the Legislature We are treated to speeches
laudatory of General John A. Sutter. 1t
is claimed that no Americans would ever
been here except for him, and that gold
would never have been found if he had
remained in Switzerland This humbug
has grown stale. The fact is that SUIT
ter's poverty is due to his own foolish
ness, and no man has had any better OPP
portunity Of having an immense fortune.
Apropos to this subject, the Nevada
Transcript says: a great deal of bun
combe has been expended in favor Of
General Sutter. At every session when
this bill comes up, the reports are filled
with speeches to the effect that if it hadn't
have been here. Now the fact is that
General Sutter had very little to do with
anybody coming TO California, except his
immediate family and attendants He
was a pioneer it is true, but there were
other pioneers, and if they are all to be
pensioned let us begin with the old Pa
dres who first established the Missions.
California was acquired after the Mexi-
can war by the United States, and it is
simply preposterous to say that Ameri-
cans would not have settled, or that gold
would not have been found. If the mere
accidental discovery of gold entities a
man to be a pensioner on the State, why
should we not pension the discoverer of
the hydraulic system Of mining, the man
who .irst run a steamboat on the Sacra-
mento, the first settler of Mud Flat, and
SO continue the list until completed. The
Emperor Norton bill is as reasonable and
just as the Sutter bill, and it ought to con-
vince members Of the Legislature of the
foolishness Of all propositions for voting
away the peoples money to impecunious
men who have already received more
than they ought to have had from the
State"

Sinking Slowly.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis
are not the only ones to be dreaded. Cam
ker or dry rot does not blast tree as sud-
denly as IA stroke of lightning, but unless
arrested it destroys it as certainly and
in like manner chronic debility, although
it does not kill with the swiftness of vel
low fever, is as sure to sap the springs of
lite eventually as any acute disease, If
not checked by invigorating medication.
There is something ineXpressibly touch
ing in the spectacle of premature decay.
Languor, pallor, emaciation, depression
of spirits, and distaste for eXertion, are
its ordinary symptoms, and they should
be promptly met by tonic treatment. The
best invigorant and eXhilarant that can
be administered in n case of this kind is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. The slim
ulatng principle the preparation rouses
the dormant energies of the system, and
the strengthening and regulating proper
ties give permanent and healthtul i'm
pulse to the vital forces thus brought into
play. The falling appetite is re-awak-
encd, the process of digestion and as
slmilatlon are quickened, the quality of
the blood is improved, the secretions be-
come more natural, and every organ that
contributes to the nourishment of the
body undergoes salutary change. By
these means the repair of the physical
structure is effected and its health and
vlgor restored. In no class of diseases
has the benilicent operation of the Bitters
been more marked and striking than in
those characterized by general debility
and nervous prostration. Ladies affected
with these ailments find in this most
wholesome of all tonics and correctives
the safest and surest means of relief. 1t
IS strong to restore and poweress to in
jure. Such is the uniform testimony of
"clouds of witnesses" 2 feb.

AwFUL.-A Michigan newspaper has
Just unearthed another fragrant exhibition
of nepotism on the part of President
Grant. The journal in question indig-
nantly says: 1.-THE President has ap-
pointed to the Office of Postmaster in
Michigan, man who is second cousin to
a woman whose first husband was uncle
to the next door neighbor of the sister-in-
law of the washer-woman who ironed
Lieutenant Grants society shirt when he
was one of the officers stationed in that
city. These facts can be proved by indis-
putable testimony, and anybody who
doubts has our permission to prove them.
Can nepotism go further?

AN instance of the practical value of
the Signal Service weather predictions is
given by the Vallejo Recorder. Just pri-
or to the recent heavy rain storm, Judge
5. G. Hastings Of this city, having bought
n copy Of the Post (price one cent? and
got his regular change from the newsboy,
found that the storm was coming, and
telegrapEcd to his son in charge of his
ranch at Maine Prairie, Soano county,
10 at once remove all the stock from the
tules TO the high land. The order was
obeycd, and the men barely succeeded in
getting the last of the stock out of the
marsh Il few hours before the surplus
water of the Sacramento broke over and
Inundated the land to the depth of five or
six feet. So rapidly is the telegraph
being extended over the world, that in Il
few years more it will be possible for a
competent person receiving reports at
Greenwich or Washington to tell precise
ly the condition Of the atmosphere around
the whole globe, and to note the coming
OF storms weeks in advance of their
appearance at any given point.

The YEARS PRoDUCT.-Itiso is officially
stated that the value Of all the farm pro
ducts Of the United States during the past
year-eXcepting the live stock-amounts
to S2,445, 45,OC0,O00. This represents the
years gross receipts, and it looks i'm
mense enough. But great deductions are
to be made from it, before we can ap-
proximate to the clear profits Of the year.
The living expenses of our forty millions
of people, for instance, are first to be
taken out then all the taxes, and the
private debts falling due and the interest
at least Of the others, must be subtracted.
We should find on examination. there
fore, that the real profits on last wears
production is not SO great after all. We
see that David A. Wells, in a recent lee
ture estimated that if the whole annual
accumulation of the country was equally
divided, each individual would receive
but Sl75. This shows how closely the
world lives from hand to mouth. A wears
cessation of work would bring the greater
part Of mankind to starvation, even if
they were as well off on the average as
the people of the United States, which
they are far from being. Mr.. Wells also
estimated that the permanent accumula-
tions of the English nation for the last
800 years amount to about thirty thousand
millions those for the United States for
250 years amount to about twenty-five
thousand millions. The difference is ow-
ing to the greater intelligence of our
masses and the superior natural advan-
tages amid which they are placed while
the more general adoption of oflabor-saving
machinery here, especially during the
last fifteen or twenty years, has also
worked in our favor.

BULLION Production, ETc.-The last
number of the Commercial Heratd con-
tains an exhaustive mining review, pre-
pared by Henry De Groot. The bullion
production of the Pacific States and Teri.
tories for 1869 and 1870 averaged from
$40 ,000, 600 to $75, 100000. There are rea.
sons to believe that last year it reached
SSO,OOO,OOO, and there are good grounds
for expecting that this year it will aggre-
gate from $50 100000 to SOC, 1000, 900, and
may possibly reach S100,0OO,O00. The
recent developments on the Comstock
Lode have impaired renewed confidence
in the continued permanence of the orc
veins, and demonstrated the lead to be
the most important silver bearing one yet
discovered. The production of the Com
stock Lode in 1871 is estimated to have
reached $l2,500,000 and will probably
exceed that amount this year. Up to
the middle of last August, twelve of the
leading claims on the Lode had produced
over SS4, ,OOO,O 900, exclusive of the June
July and August productions of the Bel.

X RAILROADS,

1t may not be amiss TO again refer to the
bills concerning fares and freights, which
have so long hung fire in the Assembly.
The Committee on Corporations were to
have reported them back on or before
Tuesday, the 9th inst, for which day they
were made the special order. For a coup
lie of weeks past the Committee have been
in session night and day, and the testi-
mony they have taken has been very vol
luminous. On Friday last they offered
resolution granting weeks further time
to allow them an opportunity to have the
report printed. Again an invitation had
been extended to take a trip to Truckee
next Thursday-a general invitation to
the members and attaches-and this they
wished to accept, and, at the same time,
embody it in said report. There was, of
course, no lack Of opposition to any con-
tinuance, but the point was finally gained
in very close vote and so probably on
Thursday we shall have another adjourn
ment, and Legislative excursion, and
an opportunity offered to see and have
explained everything regarding the con-
struction of railroads, ct cetera.

THE NO FENCE LAW.

Contrary to all expectations, the whole
subject matter of the trespass law original
bill, substitutes, amendments and all, fell
through in the Senate. 1t was the spe-
cial order on four different occasions.
and the debate took in the subject in
every light. 1t would be impossible for
me to give you anything more than the
bare proceedings in the matter. The sub
stitute most favorably considered was
the following:
SECTION /. The provisions of an Act
entitled an Act to amend an Act to pro-
mote agriculture, and to prevent tress-
passing OF animals upon private property.
approved March Goth, 1866, are hereby
extended to Colusa, Sutter, Sacramento,
Monterey, Contra Costa, San .Joaauin'
Alameda, Stanislaus, Merced, Fresno
Tulare, lnyO and Kern counties pro-
vlded, that all mountainous portions of
Tulare and Kern counties be excluded
from the provisions of this Act.
Then Senator Larkin came in on au-
other track and introduced the following
resolution which, strange to say, without
any debate, was adopted:
Rcsol0ed, That the entire subject mat
ter be recommitted to the Committee on
Agriculture, with special instructions TO
prepare a bill authorizing and empower
ing the Boards of Supervisors Of the sew
al counties of the State, on petition of
one-iourth of the qualified voters of the
county or district to be affected by the
law, to submit the question at the next
general election after said petition is re-
celVed by them, to vote of the district
or county proposed to be affected by the
law and that the bill be so drawn as to
protect improvements and growing crops,

GOLD MINING IN NERMoNT-Th gold
mining business, which has been so vgor-
ouslv prosecuted by Messrs. Saltery d
smith, on Smith Island in Gaysyile. and
upon Stony Brook, about one mile from
Gaysville, has been brought to close for
this season, on account of the cold weather.
Their works seem to be a complete success.
having by their scientific plan in using
seive boxes and conccntrators, been able to
concentrate and reduce to its proper state,
a large quantity OF black metallic sand,
from which, with their newly improved
amalaSamalor, they have been able to ex-
tract quantity of gold, which has seemed
to meet the expectations of the proprietors,
who are expecting to commence the pros
ecution oftheir works early in the spring.
and to carry them on even more extensive
ly than they did last season.
This winter Nh. Smuh has on hand at
his residence in Gaysvile, a small quautl-
ty Of gold dust, and somo in bullion, taken
from hls last clearing up, which he is SELL
ing. The gold is Of the very finest quality,
being in fncness 955-1000. The pieces TAX
en- out the past season vary in weight and
value from l-20 of grain to Sl.20, and the
deeper the cut is made, the heavier and
coarser the gold is found, and being near
the bedrock, on Stony Brook, as was ex-
pected, the last clearing up was the best
Of the season, and the same proves true on
the Island. Twenty dollars worth of gold
was the result of two men shovellinS into
sluice boxes thirteen hours, and the third
hand lorked the stones out of the boxes, at
the same time, and this from gravel that
had not been grayelsluiced.- Windsor

A YEAR OF MARINE DISASTERS almost
without a parallel is the one now approach
ing its close. The gales which ravaged tho
coasts of the Baltic and North seas, early In
November, caused great devastation to
shipping. Next came severe storms on
the Atlantic, in which many lives were
lost and much commerce was wrecked
along the coast of North America. Now
we have news of hurricanes in the north OF
England, Wales and Scotland, in which
life and property were destroyed. Add TO
these disasters the isolated ones, like the
burning of the Missouri, Bienville and
America, the wrecks Of the Sacramento,
Metis and other ships on the Pacific and the
Atlantic, and the sum total is appalling
The balance sheet for the year will present
a large sum on the debit side of the COM
mercc of the world.
