manded for use by the requirements
of trade, let loose, and the increased
chances of speculation in the metals
that the demand for gold to pay GUS
toms gives, destroyed, it is not likely
that there would be any difficulty in
procuring all that our system of ex-
changes with foreign countries might
require. To carry out the design
fully, the National Banks should be
abolished and government tokens sub
stituted for their circulating notes.
Then we should save the immense
premium that is annually paid to
these banking institutions, and should
have a better currency in place of
what they furnish. California has a
deep interest in this question notwith-
standing the fatal tenacity with which
it clings to the metallic currency, and
should the principle herein advocated
be adopted, We may expect the early
substitution of the National currency
in its place, and the resultant advan-
ages to our varied industries.

Steam CuItivators.

Two of Parvins Steam Flows are on
their way to California for use on this
coast. These plows are manufactured
at Pennington, Illinois, and after
thorough tests have been pronounced a
complete success. Steam plows have
been in successful operation for some
years, the kind meeting with most
favor, being those that are drawn
back and forth across the fields by sta
tionary engines. The Parvin, howev-
er, is travelling engine and combines
in the machine, both the plows and
the power that propels them.
Whether cultivation by steam will be
profitable in this State or not remains
to be tested, but we should think our
large farmers, some Of whom cultivate
many thousands of acres, could save
money by the use of this agent.

tighterage.

1t has been a favorite idea with
some that light draught steamers
should be run in our coastwise trade,
and that by taking advantage of high
tide they could cross the bar and
come inside the harbor. Now that
the competition for our trade has
brought some of this class of vessels
to our port, it has become question
of interest whether any relief from the
lighterage tax is likely to be realized,
providing these steamers can succeed
in reaching the railroad wharves. An
application for information on this
point, made by member of the
Chamber of Commerce to the Super
intendent of the railroad, elected the
reply that no reduction would be made
on freight from this city, but that the
same rates would be charged, whether
the steamers received their freight
from the company's wharf or from
the lighter. Nothing was said, so far
as we learn, about incoming freight,
but it is probable that if the old rates
are adhered to in the one case, they
will be in the other. The Chamber
has instructed its Secretary to write
to the Superintendent Of the railroad,
and if unsuccessful, to apply to the
chief authorities, but we do not look
with much confidence for favorable
result. Our principle article of ex-
port, the bullion from the Cerro Cor
do mines, now pays five dollars per
ton from Los Angeles to the anchorage.
1t was formerly carried for 50 so, but
on the completion of the Southern Pa
cific to Delano, the company, desiring
to force it in that direction, and thus
secure its carriage over their road to
San Francisco, raised the price of
freight between this place and the
anchorage. Owing to natural advan-
tages, and to the fact that the steamers
at once met this increase by reducing
the freight to San Francisco to 50 IS
per ton, the bullion still continues to
follow this route to market, but it is
not likely that the railroad company
will yield the point until they have
thoroughly tested their ability to con-
troll these freights. Relying on the ex-
pectation that the steamers will get
tired of transporting freight from San
Pedro to San Francisco for next to
nothing, it is no more than could be
expected that they will do everything
in their power to drive business to
their longest lines, and failing in this,
will endeavor to secure all the profits
when it goes in the other direction.
We shall wait with much interest the
result Of the correspondence, but in
the meantime suggest that the regular
arrival Of steamers at the wharf will
have to become an established fact be-
fore very strong case can be present.

A man named John J. Rabel has
accused himself and wife before the
Chief of Police of Sacramento with
having fired their residence in that
city in August, 1870. Unfortunately
for the sake of justice, under the law
which makes it imperative that an
indictment for an offense must be
found within three years after the COM
mission of the crime, this case was
outlawed last August, and nothing
can be done in the premises.
