THE Loss OF OCEAN STEAMSHIPS
From the commencement of steam trans
atlantic navigation is 1910 to the end
Of 1873, it is stated, 81 steamers have
been lost-the President being the
fist and the LAmerique the last. The
Cunard Company has only lost two of
all its feet-the Africa and the Tripoli
during this period of SO years. The
Allan line, at present composed of II
steamers, has lost since 1852, and the
Collins line, which existed only from
1852 to 1857. lost two of the four ves-
sells of which it consisted. The Ger
man companies of Hamburg and Bre
men, established in 1855, have lost
4 of their steamers the National line
the Anchor line ], the Guion line, be
tween 1858 and 1872, 2, and the
White STAR L. The French companies
of the Messageries Maritimes, with
their 81 steamers trading to all parts of
the world, in ..21 years Of existence
have lost IA. The transatlantic branch,
before the shipwreck of the Vile du
Harve, had lost only l, the Carien,
which went ashore on the coast of Gu
ba. The Royal Mail, with which this
line is in opposition in the West Indies
and Brasilian trade, has lost Is Ct. it's
steamers in the 80 years of its existence
About IL steamers belonging to var
ious small companies were also lost in
the Atlantic. 1t is estimated that Is,
GOO voyages, going and returning,
across the Atlantic ocean, have been
made by all TIE different steam lines.

HERE is a late decision on mining claim patents, which we take from The Alta Cal ifornia of March 30:
 Commissioner Drummond recently re- ceived a letter from Gray & Haven of San Francisco, asking whether the depart ment would permit parties who own sev- eral mining claims adjoining each other to make one application for patent to all the lands in one tract, instead of sepa- rate applications. He has to-day respond ed officially that in all such cases each claim must be separately surveyed, no tices posted on each tract, and record prov ed separately. Also, it must be shown that five hundred dollars have been eX- pended on each claim. Then if the claims are adjoining, one application for patent may be made to cover the whole tract. But this will not be granted when the claims are remote from each other, the only object being to allow patents to issue with as little cost as possible.

Railway Matters.

Gov. Throckmorton of Texas hasWyit ten a letter to M. B. Lloyd of Fort W6fll l in which he complains of the restrictions which the legislature has placed in the way of the Texas and Pacific railroad and says:
 MT. Scott has made sacrifice of his private fortune, or at least encountered it with three millions of debt, with four other gentlemen, in order to comply with the restrictions of the time of former laws. We cannot expect him to do more, but he is using every eXertion to procure iron to finish the road already graded and put down sufficient iron to Fort Worth from Dallas. The interest of the Com pany requires this, and you may rest as sured it will be done; but if crippled with restrictions as to time, making it so short as to be doubtful, nobody will ad- vance aid.
 The last legislature was told by me, and by others, that they were restricting us too much-that we would comply, if pos sibIe, and would have compiled, had not the financial crisis crushed out all hope.
 Texas has too much at stake-your peo- pie have too much at stake-to grow inn patient or sullen. You have lost in anti cipation of our people doing more than was in our power. Our people have paid their money, they have lost their private fortunes and endangered them in their efforts to give us a road. Therefore, my friend, let every interest concerned, har monize and work together in real earnest let there be no fears, no jealousies. It is the interest of the company to get to you at the earliest possible moment. They will do it.
 Since Col. Scott assumed control of the Texas and Pacific there has not been an instance where he has attempted or made any unjust or unreasonable demands for assistance from any section. Nor does he desire aid from the government with out giving the most ample guaran- tees to keep the government from loss. His whole course has been open, frank and truthful and it does seem that those who are to be most benefited should by this time trust ill and give him all pos sible aid and cooperation.

THE legislature has adjourned, and Cali fornia has before her nearly two years of rest ill which she can recuperate and accumulate money 10 pay for the next session. Nearly two years of quiet. Two years of exemption from the corruption and folly of our biennial legislative saturnalia, when the Senate and Assembly, made up mostly of men without education, experience, character or responsibility, go through their crude and nasty experiments at tinkering the laws and controlling the business of the State. That many Of them desire to do right. is unfortunately not enough. Good intentions do not cOmpen- sate for the lack of all the other qualifica- tions requisite for statesmanship. The question whether it is better to have a rogue or fool in public office, is always decided against the one whose misconduct suggests the query. Either can make such a lamentable failure that little change from fool to rogue, or from a rogue to a fool, appears desirable. The idea prevails that legislation is a very simple business, and that any body who can hold a plough or bind a sheaf of wheat is competent to make laws; but the multiplication of stupid, conflicting, trif1ing and useless statutes in the archives of the State of Cali fOrnia implies that little more education, experience and ability would have done no harm.-[Alta, April l.
