A LONG sRAsoN OF BLOSSOMS.
Itis popularity Of California that the
blossoms remain a long time and that the
period Of bloSSoming d long drawn ont,
compared with the same at home Peaches
for instance began blossoming In January
and In April the trees were not vet done

greatly that most glorious oi all seasons,
Spring, and 80 now In our cannon we are
sttll favored with the greatest profusion Of
flowers. Even were I acquainted with
their names an enumeration were impos.
sible, but ! cannot refrain from making
particular mention Of the flower of the
Spanish bayonet. The flowers cover the
upper Q or 8 feet Of q stalk some 19 to 1S
feet high, which springs Up very quickly.
The flowers are profuse and Of creamy
white, that makes each stalk look like
some flame bursting forth out Of the
ground, orwhen placed amidst the dark.

Defeat Of the Currency Bill in the
HOuse,

The Compromise Currency bill report
ed by tho Conference Committee Of the
Senate and House, passed the former
body on Friday last by vote Of 80 to %,
bat was defeated In the House on satur-
day by a vote Of 148 to 1os, Messrs.
DAVIS and HRREPoRD Of this State voted
for II, and Mr.. HAsAES against it In the
Senate vote we do not find the names Of
either Of our Senators as voting for or
against II, nor among those paired off.
The vote in the House was q curious
medley. Both inaationists and contrac-
tIonists voted against tho bill. Mr..
DAWES and Mr.. BuTIRR, Mr.. CLYMER
and Mr.: KRLIRY, voted in company with
each other. 80 that the bill was killed by
the clubs Of both parties, financial and
political.
After the defeat Of the bill was announc.
cd, Mr.. DAWES, chairman of the Com.
mittee Of Ways and Means, Immediately
moved for a new conference, and his mo-
tion was carried by 1876 to 4s, and a new
committee at once appointed by the
Speaker. Whether it is possible at this
late day to get up bill that will meet
with more favor is at least doubtful II not
wholly improbable, Congress has tinker
ed at the finances for six months, straight
along, and 10 and behold the result. The
Republicans, being in the majority, are
naturally apprehensiye and anxious in re.
gard to what the people will think anddo
this fall when their verdict comes to be
taken at the polls. Hence strong effort
may yet be made to get ups bill that will
pass both houses. The bill Just defeated
was SO much Of q compromise between
the two sides that Senators sooTr and
sHERMAN voted forit along with NOR
TON and LOGAN. 1ts provisions may be
briefly explained as follows 1t provided
for unlimited banking under the national
bank act of June 80, 1894. For reduction
ofthe lawful reserve in circulation to five
per cent This reserve now amountsto
about $4,000, 600, aud would be reduced
to about $1s,OOO,OOO. For maintaining
the greenback circulation at the present
limit of $9s9OOOOOO. For reducing the
greenback circulation in future al the rate
Of $S7 90 for every 800 Of additional
national bank notes issued under this bill,
until the greenback circulation is reduced
to $SoO0OO,OOO, when it shall stop. For
the cony yartibllity alter January /, 1878.
Of all greenbacks into FIVE. four.and.a .haif,
or four per cent bonds at par-at the
option Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
as 10 rate Of interest, the greenbacks so
converted to be destroyed.

THE IN FIJI.

Quite recently we published some statements,
from New Zealand and Australian files, indicat-
ing that there was some apprehension of trouble
in FJi,-of dissatisfaction with the new political
order of things established by Great Britain,-
especially on the part of Maafu, the distinguished
Tongan Chief whose influence prevails over a con-
siderable portion of the Fijian Archipelago. But
we see it stated in late Colonial journals that there
is every assurance for the maintenance Of peace
in the new Polynesian Colony. And we learn
moreover from information communicated here
by Sir James Ferguson, late Governor Of New
Zealand and a passenger per MikGdo en- route for
San Francisco, that Prince Maafu has given a
cordial adhesion 70 the new government. In
view of the policy that is about to be adopted, We
doubt not that the Fijians, both chiefs and people.
will be well reeonciled to the new order, because
it will not operate much change with the old.
The Chiefs will be sustained in all their ancient
influence over the people, but without the power
to abuse or Cypress. Tie Chiefs viii be the Gov
ernors and Magistrates over the several islands,
and efforts will be made to qualify the dominant
families, by superior education, to maintain in q
bene6cent manner the prestige Of their rank.
Several of the sons of Thakombau are now at a
SYDNEY College. On the other hand the common
Fijian will be guarded in his life and property,
and will receive due compensation for his labor.
Thus the ancient feudal authority within wise
limits, and as adapted to the genius and condition
Of the race will be sustained; ard the Imperial
Government wiIln not probably for some time to
come place the electoral franchise in the hands Of
the yet sayages of Fiji.
The peace Of the islands will be preserved by
two ships Of war constantly stationed ut the
group, and order will be maintained among the
people by a semi-military force of two hundred
selected natives, who will Of course be drilled and
Offered by foreigners. Thus something of the
order and system OF government which has been
50 successful in Java and the PHILIPPINE Islands
will be maintained in our sister Archipelago.
The Fijian will preserve all his old traditions and
associations which are not inconsistent with the
welfare and good order Of the country; and if he
improves his condition and shows an appreciation
Of selEgovernment, We have no doubt that the
enlightened government which has assumed a
t~utelary control wall yield all The political privi-
leges he may intelligentIy desire-and it is to be
hoped will not confer any which are not sought
and consequently not appreciated.
