THANKsGIvING.-The following procla-
nation has been issued by the President
"The approaching close of another year
brings with it the occasion for renewed
thanksgiving and acknowledgment to the
Almighty Ruler Of the universe. OF the
unnumbered mercies which has bestowed
upon us, abundant harvests have been
among the rewards of industry. With
local exceptions health has been among
the blessings enjoyed. Tranquility at
home and peace with other nations have
prevailed. Frugal industry is regainng
its merited rewards. Gradually, but un-
der the Providence of God, surely, as we
trust, the nation is recovering from the
lingering results of dreadful civil strife.
For these and all mercies vouchsafed, it
becomes us, as people to return heart
felt and grateful Acknowledgements; and
with our thanksgiving we may unite pray
ers for the cessation of local and tempo
rary suffering. l therefore recommend
that on Thursday, the 9th day of No
vember next, the people meet in their
respective places of worship, to make
their Acknowledgements to Almighty God
for His bountes and His protection, and
to offer to Him prayer for their contnu-
ance."
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-11-01

How THE Rich ARE TAxED.-W re-
member some time ago that Mr.. Latham,
the manager of the London and San
Francisco bank, limited, reported divi-
dend Of some eighteen or twenty per cent
on the capital stock of said bank, which
stock we find set down in the Controllers
report at S3,000,000. The bank is assess
ed at 100000 ! 1t has only been q few
days since the bank of California declar-
ed dividend Of one per cent. per month
on capital stock of S5,O00,OOO, yet all it
could squeeze out to the assessor was S2,-
008,000. 1t is not at all likely that one
half the capital stock of the bank has
been paid iE, but if not, it will be seen
that an immense profit is being derived
from what has been paid in. If the cap
ital stock, however, received dividend
Of one per cent. per month, it is certainly
worth par. Then why should it not, un-
der the law that requires all property to
be assessed at its cash value, be assessed
at par ! A man in Colusa county who
owns one thousand sheep, and who has
to put his own work with them to make
living, is assessed for every dollar those
sheep will bring, while the monied aris-
tocrat is assessed for about one third, or
less, Of what his property will sell for.
There is a rich field for some enterprising
member of the next Legislature. This
hint is given gratis.-Colusa Sun.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-11-01
EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,

EX- CoNvIcTs.-The three men arrest
ed on the train, and brought to Shasta
for supposed completely with the stage
robbery near Redding are all 'old State
Prison convicts.n So says the report,
and it is at once held as sort of proof
that the men are the guilty parties in the
minds of many. 1t is sad commentary
on the efficacy of State Prison discipline
and punishment, that it is in great
measure valueless as means of reform
ing the criminal. The records of the
State Prison show that of those confined
there for offences against property, a large
proportion hr.ye already served previous
terms OF imprisonment for the same class
OF Offences, and that in zoo many cases, a
discharge from prison is too soon followed
by new term of imprisonment.
Are not the public in some measure to
blame that this is the case? ? We think
so. For instances, a man is convicted of
burglary, robbery or some other offence
for which he was sentenced, or perhaps,
conducts himself in such wise as to be
deemed worthy Of pardon. He is sent
out Of prison with the pittance allowed
him Chrec dollars, we believe.) If he
returns to the scene of his crime, he is
spotted" at once. No one wishes to
give him employment, for who wants an
old ''State Prison convict" around. If
he goes among strangers, the knowledge
of what he has been soon follows him.
and he is not long in learning that his
past life is known. The only men who
seem willing to extend the right hand of
fellowship are those who, like himself,
are under some ban. The avenues to
honorable employment are all closed
against him, and he is driven, by necessi-
ty, to commence again a life of crime.
He learns that in truth the way Of the
transgressor is hard that although it was
an easy step to leave the path Of virtue,
it is not easy to return to it again. Or,
llG 10 lOltuliuIt GllOuSl " OUIulll
honorable employment, and endeavors to
live an upright life; yet casual sneering
word may scatter his good resolutions,
and make him think that every mans
hand is against him, and his hand must
be against every man.
Prisons are built to punish crime, to
deter wouldbe criminals from its COM
mission, and to reform the fallen. In
the two first they are in a measure sue
cessful, in the latter they cannot be until
public opinion is ready to declare that
the punishment has cancelled the offence.
But so long as the brand of infamy clngs
to the ex-convict for life, and to his chill
dren after him, there is more hope for the
repcntant Magdalen than for him.

NOVEL BEAR HUNT.-G. w. School
er, who lives about ten miles from this
place, having business in Marysville last
Friday, harnessed team and started.
He had gone as far as Honcut when he
discovered, in the road before him, the
wo-year-old cub of black bear(ess)
which had been shot that morning by q
man named Babcock. Schooler at once
gave chase in his buggy, and for short
time the novelty of man "goin' bear
huntin'" in a buggy might have delight
ed the lover of field sports. But as all
things must have an end so must this
chase. Young Bruin submitted without
as good grace as it possible for any of
the bear family to submit; the animal
succumbed, tired and breathless to the
operation of tying which his bearship's
captor did with halter. After comfort
ably tying the creatures mouth so that
it could not exercise its natural propensi-
ty for tearing things-whch things in
this instance stood for Mr.. SIS lower
lin bs-the captor returned home with
the results Of his chase disposed with
difficulty around and under the seat of
the buggy. The bear was so large that
it required all the strength of the valiant
hunter to put it into the carriage.-O,o-
oitte Mercury.
