A NEW LEAD.-HOW many times does 50 go into 250,VSSoo2 It goes 5O09 times. Well, that is a good per cent, even for California. Will the best Head" ever struck pay as much? Certainly not. But there arg strong probabilities that an investment of fifty dollars made in the last Grand Gift Con- cert, in aid of the Public Library of Kentucky, will pay that per cent to somebOGV l. Why 1pt to one of us4 and then we have ou- Iy to wait to the 8Oth Of Novem- her for the result.
 ANSWERING LETTERS Some people are shametuliv negligent a0out answering Ieytois i,uti1- ing is more annoying. It is re. garded as the height of ill., breed ing to allow a letter which needs reply to go unanswered, and so indeed, it ought to be considered everywhere. This is a point on which parent should lay great stress to their children. They should be taught to consider it as rude not to reply to a letter which needs attention as to hand fork With the wrong end. The busiest people are generally those who are the most exact in this respect. The late Duke of Wellington, who, it will be admitted, had a good deal on his hands at differ eht times of his life, replied to every letter, no matter from how humble a source. Once, a clergy man, who lived in distant part of the kingdom, wrote to his Grace, on whom neighter he nor ms parish had shadow of claim, 10 beg a subscription to rebuild the church. By return of post came back a letter from the Duke, to the effect that he could not see why in the world he should have been applied to for such an ob- Iject; but the parson sold the letter as an autograph for $25, and put the Duke down for that amount among the subscribers.

Our National Currency.

In the banking system, something
is out of order. The present currency
does not meet the country's demands,
nor can it, plethoric currency-one
that will answer all the demands Of
the country in moving the produce,
and transferring from one portion of
the country to the other. A currency
is needed that will be absorbed, when
it becomes too abundant, and will ex-
pand when the demand is increased.
There is now bill before Congress
which seems to cover the grounds Of
the demand. 1t is now proposed to
establish a free banking system, in
which any one may engage. By de-
posting in the national treasury a
given amount of funds, the owner will
be permitted to issue an equivalent in
currency-the bonds, however, are to
be non-interest bearing, while they
are under collateral. Any one issuing
currency notes will be permitted to
withdraw the bonds deposited as their
security as soon as he shall withdraw
the currency which they secure.
OF all plans which have been pre-
sented, this seems the most feasible
and to offer the best answer to the de-
mands of the country.

Printing the Laws in Spa nisi1

The proposition contained in the
memorial of Mr.. De Cells, editor of
la Cronica, to publish the laws in the
Spanish papers instead of in book. form,
as now practiced, seems to be meeting
with pretty general favor throughout
the State. AS now published, the laws
do not reach our Spanish-speaking
population for nearly two years after
they are passed. They are then in a
bulky and ineonvenient form, and in
accessible to the mass of the people.
BY printing the laws in the Spanish
newspapers, they will promptly reach
all who read the language. and the
work will be more cheaply and effec-
tually done.

Iighterage.

The Express in both an editorial and
a communicative article has suddenly
discovered that somebody is dissatis-
fed with the fact that our harbor ac-
commodations are of such a character
that lighters are necessary.
The correspondent asks the stupid
question, "What would our commerce
do if the lighters Were towed out to
sea and sunk and no power existed to
replace them?" And the Express not
to be exceeded in imbecility asserts
that "there is no sense in denouncing
lighterage till we are prepared to do
without it.n When we are prepared
to do without it, We apprehend there
will be no necessity of denouncing it,
for then we shall not suffer from its
exactions. Will the Express or its
correspondent please inform us how
we shall ever be prepared to do with
out lighterage if we never agitate the
subject, or make any effort to supply
it's place with something better? The
only manner in which it has ever been
proposed to abolish the lighterage sys-
tenn is by doing away with its neces-
SHY. No one particularly cares how
this is done, so it is done quickly and
effectually.

The Response Of the MonopoIists.

This paper has been and still is the
advocate of the right of the people to
trade where and with whom they
please, untrammeled by protective
tariffs. 1t believes that busines
that cannot be made profitable with
out it is bolstered up by government
bounties ought to fail, or at least wait
till there is sufficient demand for it, to
give it success on its own merits. 1t
holds the position that California is
fleeced out of millions annually to en-
rich the manufactures of the Eastern
States, and would be glad to see the
entire protective system swept out OF
existence, feeling certain that the bu-
siness of the Pacific Coast, relieved
from that incubus, would flourish. as
it never can or will while we are taxed
in thousand ways for the benefit OF
the monopolists of the East.
The protective tariff now in force
benefits us in but one or two directions,
while it saps our industries ina thous-
and ways, and when we ask little
relief, we are met with a forced con-
struction of the act that removes what
little share we accidentally have in
those benefits. Our farmers ask that
they shall be placed on an equal foot
ing with their Eastern brethren by
removing the duty on jute and jute
bagging, and they are answered by
having oranges, almost the only thing
that we produce which is protected,
placed on the free list. The next step
that we may expect is the removal of
the duty on imported wool, leaving
the bagging in which our feeces are
sent to market to pay heavy duty.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the party in power, is party devoted
to the selfish interests of the few, and
opposed to the interests of the masses;
party of rings and cliquesA party of
corporations and plumber. 1t has CIV
en- us the National Banks, and the
Credit Mobilier, the whiskey ring, and
an inflnitude of other rings, great and
small, but all calculated to bleed the
people, and fatten the cormorants, who
are plundering them.
The only thing that is left for us, is
to rally the honest men of all political
faiths in one organization, for the pro-
lection of our rights. 1t is no use to
say that the campaign is over; it is in
fact just begun, and the man who hes
itates, or clings to the shadow of a po-
litical name, is false to the interests of
the country. There are but two par
ties; the party of the monopolists, and
the independent, interrupted party of
the people. Let every man choose his
side, and prepare for the contest.

WE learn from the Geographic dis
patches that the United States Senate
are going to investigate the charges Of
corruption preferred against Pinch
beck, the new negro Senator from
Louisiana, who is charged with pur-
chasing his election with fifteen th0us-
and dollars paid him by white COM
petitor to withdraw from the contest.
Does the Senate propose to expel
Pinchbeck because he ives guilty Of
corruption or because he is a negro?
There are at least a score of men in
that body who obtained their places
by practices fully as corrupt as those
charged against the Louisiana imam
and brother" If the Senate is so
pure and immaculate that it cannot
tolerate the presence Of a corrupt black
member; it would seem that their
virtue should be equally shocked by
the presence of a corrupt white one.

ANOTHER indication OF an lmprov-

House Military Committee to force a
rigid inquiry into the malfeasance and
oqen thievery of Gen. o. o. Howard
dnring series of years while in charge
of the late Freedman's Bureau. A
more monstrous record of official
crimes has not been seen during
these many years of venality and cor
ruption, than that Of General Howard.
Notwithstanding the glowing and
transparent proofs of his guilt, no steps
whatever have hitherto been taken to
bring him to justice. 1t is therefore

of public robbery is opening to the
light of day in connection with the
building of the branch Insane Asylum
at Napa. The law providing for the
erection of the buildings appropri-
ated 100000 for the purpose, and Gre
ated Board of Commissioners to
prosecute the work. Instead Of con-
filming themselves to the appropria-
ton, it seems the Board adopted a
plan for the edifice which they knew
would cost $500, 900; and then actually
proceeded with the work on a. plan
that will cost $l,30O,OOO. In view Of
this and similar cases of gross abuse

win Smith is now in England, and in
his lectures advises the English citi-

and fit himself for writing a constitu-

pleased has he been with the country,
its free institutions, and free ways,
that he thus advises his English friends

FRANCE agrees to deliver over to the
Spanish Government all prisoners
who, escaping from Cartagena, took
refuge in the French Province OF AL
geria-that is, all charged with offenses
other than political. In point of fact,
this will hand over all political often
ders as well as criminals, because the
Spanish law knows no distinction be-
tween a man who raises his hand
against usurping and tyranical gov
eminent, and the common offender
who raises his hand against the life OF
property of his neighbor. Hence the

a little credit for magnaminity that it
