on the political situation in Massa-

gain his nomination through the aid OF
the administration and use of party ma
chinery, to which he will be further
helped by the dissatisfaction with Gov
ernor Washburns course on the liquor
legislation of the State. The same in
fuence will do much to insure his cleo
ton, and large accession of votes from
the Democratic party will also great.

GOVERNOR BOOTHS CANDIDACY.

The Sacramento Union, which cham
pions Governor Booths candidacy for
the successorship to Senator Casserly,
publishes, with its approval, the follow
ing paragraph from the Lake County
Bee, Democratic sheet
Some OF the Democratic papers of this
State are making much ado about moth
ing in condemning Governor Booth for
his candidacy for the Office of United
States Senator. They pretend to be very
much shocked at his breaking his pledge
not to be a candidate for that office dur
ing his occupancy of the Gubernatorial
chair, as they say. Even if he did make
such pledge he is violating no faith by
now seeking the Senatorship, for his
term as Governor will expire about the
same time that Casserly's successor will
take his seat in the Senate and besides,
there are numerous presidents where
Governors of States have been selected
as the proper men to send to the United
States Senate. All this cutlery against
the Governor for his candidacy is sheer
clap-trap got up on purpose to injure
him by the friends of Gorham and the
Central Pacific Railroad Company. Gov.
ernor Booth is not our choice, nor is any
Republican, but we are bound to say tina
in our opinion he is an honest and able
mantle best one of his party named
for the Senatorship; and moreover, he il
we'll thought of by the people, especial,
by the honest, interrupted portion o
the Republican party.
What force there may be in the reason
ing of the Bee will appear upon state
ment of the case Governor Booth wa
inaugurated in December, 1871, and hi
term will expire in December, 1877;
Two years prior to the expiration of hi
Gubernatorial term the Legislature whic
is to elect United States Senator wi
assemble at Sacramento, but the Cove
non if elected, will only be entitled t
his seat on the 4th of March, 1875
about eight months before the close {
his term as Governor.

ANNEXATION OF NORTHERN MEX
leo.

A Washington correspondent develops
plan for anneYing to the United States
Chihuahua and Sonora. According to
the view taken of the subject by this cor
respondent, the project is one of those
Matched out Of the fertile brains OF Major
General Ben. Butler and Colonel Thomas
Scott, and forms a sort of back-pay grab
on a large scale. President Grant favors
it. and the recent inroad of Colonel Nc
Kenzie, when he pursued the kickapoos
across the Mexican frontier, was only
prelude to the great drama of jobbery,
war; and annexation which is about to
be opened upon the country. The Amer
lean people are supposed to have great
passion for extending the area of freedom.
But there are difficulties to be grappled
with in the acquisition of SO large por-
ton of Mexican territory of which few
have any proper idea. Sonora has an
area of 1913, 466 square miles; Chihuahua,
lO7, 800 The former has l47 1873 of pop.
ulation and the latter &c., 600. So when
this annexation scheme is carried out the
United States will have an accession OF
23O,9G6 square miles of territory, and
3OS, 1Ss in the shape of "citizens, for as
such the 800, GOO mongrel inhabitants
must be regarded when once annexation
is accomplished. To comprehend the
elephant that we are about to get on
our hands, let us refer to the events OF
the past When California was acquired
by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo the
area of the present State was l5S,6S1
square miles and the population some
10000. With the immense rush to the
Pacific coast. caused by the gold discov.
cries, and bracing climate, it took
twenty years to render California thor
oushly American, and even now, after I
lapse of over a quarter of century, tn
native Californians hold the balance o
power in some portions of that State
In Sonora and Chihuahua the diff
culties will be much greater. TIL
population is greater and the climat
more enervating than in California. Blu
the Administration, backed by popula
sentiment, is determined to have a POI
ton of Mexico, and we are not dispose
to complain, particularly as the propose
acquisition will afford stamping groun
for all the roughs, hoodlums and unpra
ticables OF the country. ON to Mex
co.." is the rallying cry.

The demoralized condition Of the
money market at New York and its
probable results were the chief topics of
conversation in monetary circles to-day.
Alarmists are OF the opinion that should
this state OF affairs continue for a few
days, it would force failures of many
mercantile institutions, and in due
course of time have like result in the
West and South, but those who look
deep into such matters are Of the opin-
ion that the lookup of currency, as well
as gold, by huge ring, as has undoubt-
eddy been the case, will only affect stock
and gold dabblers, and that the ring,
now that they have completely broken
the stock market aud bulled gold TO
ll7s, and when they force the small
holders 10 sell cut, purchase AS much as
they choose, and force settlements
enough to break few hundred opera
tors, aud after filling their purses, grad
ually let out their ill-gotten gains TO ease
the market. At one time yesterday y
cent. e diem was the loaning rate in
New York, and to day it viii probably
JOucn JDAJ HRure again, as lnere are Oh
tentimes stipulations in gold and stock
contracts giving grace. The effect on
the market here is, however, insignif-
cant, andthe market to-day is little, il
any more stringent than for the past
week. OF course, as the LIST to 4th is at
hand, there is considerable paper falling
due; but no unusual alarK is felt, and in
majority of cases the paper will be
met. Some few acceptanees are seeking
discount on the street, and 2l934 q
cent. q month is freely spoken Of, but
there is no strictly frst-class or gilt edge
included. Exchange is in about the
same supply, and the demand as here
tofore noted. On. Eastern points the
counter rates are par buying and lc pre-
MUM selling. New Orleans CONNER
