THE mail facilities of this part of
the State have improved rapidly
within the last few months. With
the last change the time was shortened
from 46 to 81 hours between Los An
geles and San Francisco. Up to
April of last year we received one mail
per week by steamer. The light daily
mail was carried by the Coast Line
stages, and occupied from three to four
days in the passage between the two
cities. The improvement in the way
of shortening time has gradually gone
on until now our San Francisco letters
reach us in 81 hours from the date of
posting. The mail for San Francisco
and the North now leaves Los An
geles at half past eight in the evening
and arrive here from the North at a
quarter past seven in the morning.

Placer Mines Of Los Angeles.

The more we learn about the placer
mines of this county, the greater our
establishment that they have been so
long lying idle. We saw citizen of
the Santa Clara valley in town yes
terday. He lives not far from the
Castac Mines and is we'll acquainted
with all that placer belt. He says the
half has not been told about the real
value of those mines. He does not
own dollars worth of stock, but says
if he had known that the waters of
Elizabeth Lakes could have been
brought on the mines he could have
been worth half million to-day.
Here is the secret: 1t was only by
accident that it was discovered that
the waters of those lakes could be
made to wash the gold on. the Castac
mines. The water ran down caflon
to within q few miles of the mines and
sank. No one knew this but a few of
the Indians who were acquainted with
those mountains. The Castac Com
pany are at work and are out of debt.
They are cautious and will not in
crease their force until they sell suf-
ficient amount of stock to buy their
lumber. It is no trouble to get work
done for stock; every man that has
seen the mines is anxious to work for
stock. Here is the best chance for in
vestment we know of in mining stock
in this county. A good placer
mine is perpetual income, especially
where the grounds are so extensive as
the Castac Mines.

THE newspapers are now specializing
as to the coming man in the line of pro-
motion for the Office Of chief justice of
the supreme court of the United States,
the Washington Star says ''the great
pressure Is for Edwards Pierrepont, who
would, however, it is understood, accept
the secretaryship of the treasury if the
chief justiceship was beyond his reach.
But if be is nominated for the bench
the cry will pretty certainly 60 up that
he is mere party hack and not very
much of lawyer. If Evarts is momi-
mated it will be charged that, like Cush-
ing, is too much of lawyer and sells
his opinions in the best market, and
what lawyer does not? O'Connor stands
well to-day before the country as lawyer
and an honest man, but were his name to
go to the Senate what ransacking of old
records, archives" and musty documents
there would be to prove him unsound
on the political goose. And wouldn't the
outsiders "gon for Judge Black, if by any
chance his name was proposed? 1t is not
easy to suggest the name Of any promi
nent lawyer who would be likely to ge
through without some vicious digs from
the awaiting tomahawks." &

The advocates Of woman suffrage are at
present holding a national convention at
Washington. Most of the distinguished
advocates Of the cause are present. Bella
A. Lockwood is present as q delegate
from Virginia. The central figure in the
convention is Miss Susan B. Anthony, the
president. She presented petition which
it is proposed to lay before Congress. 1t
sets forth that women have been denied a
hearing as to their political rights, at the
bar of the Senate and the House, they be-
ing entirely unrepresented there, in that
they have no voice in the choice of menu
bers to either body, although constituting
one.half the people of the United States,
recognized by the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and the constitution as the only
source of power, and one-half the gov
erned, whose consent is necessary to all
Just governments. Women are still sub
jected to many wrongs, among which is tax
alton without representation. They pray
the honorable bodies to pass a law that
shall exempt women from taxation for
national purposes, so long as they are un-
represented in the national councils.

The Presidents course in the Texas
matter wins very general approval, both
from the party press and the independent
press. The Baltimore American says:
"General Grant has received severe crit
icism for his course in relation to the Chief
Justiceship, but that the reputable press Of
the country is not disposed to treat him
upjustly is, we think, fairly evidenced BY
the very warm commentator it awards to
his decided action in refusing federal assist
ance to the Texas officials who hoped to
defeat the verdict Of the people at the bal
lot-box. And the refusal is the more &C.
ceptable that it is accompanied with well.
merited rebuke to the governor, who, having
| given his official approval to the election
laws and consented to an election under it
finding himself defeated at the polls, at
tempts to retain power by pleading a poin
| of technical nconstitutionality."

The commissioner Of patents has very
properly, ON the final hearing of the case,
refused the application Of the patentees
for an extension of their patent for making
the finer classes Of straw paper. The case,
which has been under consideration for
long time, has excited much interest among
paper manufacturers, publishers and others,
owing to the fact that it was claimed the pat
ent was broad enough to cover the entire
economical and valuable portion of the pro-
cess Of reducing wood, straw, etc., into
pulp suitable for paper by the use of caustic
alkali under pressure, and that, therefore,
all manufacturers Of such paper must con-
tinue to pay tribute to the owners Of the
patent. These owners have amassed large
fortunes from their invention; but not
content with this, they have, with inces-
SAINT importantly, kept on urging further
extension of their monopoly, for two or
three years past. The decision of the
commissioners will give general satisiac-
ton.

THE city of Brooklyn is making rapid

city in the matter Of debt. It is paying

BOSTON Is affected over the sudden
death Of a little fellow only seven years
OF age, who has been astonishing audiences
in that city by his marvellous skill in play
ing the violin, and the grace with which he
took the baton and conducted the orches-
ira. The case ought rather to excite in
dignation at the cupidity and heartlessness
of those who exposed child of such ten
der years to the forcing system which
could alone have brought his musical
talent to such immature perfection and
afterward to the excitement and nervous
exactions of public exhibitions. Death
from heart disease was the finding of the
physicians, but murder by cupidity must
be the moral verdict. II is well to re-
member that prodigies in infancy, if they
have the physical stamina to bear life that
| long, make fools at maturity.

ORR MEASURES OF FINANCE.

= What will you advise Congress to do !? is
asked us daily. We have repeatedly adyo-
Gated certain definite measures Of relief in
THE JOURNAL during the last two years.
We are glad to repeat them as often as they
are called for.
l. Congress should Instantly p'ocidet for
The expansion q the currency to meet The tega-
innate demands Of business. Hshould repeal
all arbitrary limits upon the volume Of the
currency. -ta
9. 1t should make all citizens equal in
their right to buy the money coined under
its authority, by free banking or other
wise.
. 8. 1t should provide for elasticity of
the currency, by making it convertible
into bonds, and bonds recoverable again
at the option of the holder.
4. II should leey a tao upon gold sales.
Increasing acaA the premium paid, as zoe
no,o tar whishey and tobacco. +
6. We should pay annually only SO
much OF the public debt as is required to
keep up the nations credit, which we be.
lieye could be we'll done by meeting the
interest promptly and o million of the
principal annually.
These are the strong points of a finan
cial system, which we believe woult
restore the country to a healthy and pros
porous condition. Together, OF in parts the.
are more and more possessing the minds {
the people. The great difficulty is the
men, and especially Congressman. ha
thanking. They run in herds like sheer
and so like sheep they are led to til
slaughter-pen of the money-lenders.

crop three years! They would starve

may be in slight degree injurious to the

the less people know about courts the bet
