sufficient number to change the MAJ
jority. Nobody was disturbed by the
military who had legal right at
that time to occupy seat in the Leg
islature.
SHERrDAN'S ACTION SUSTAINED.
Tn reference to Sheridan's presence
in New Orleans, he says: He was
requested by me to go to Louisiana,
to observe and report the situation
there, and if, in his opinion, it was
necessary, to assume command, which
he did on the 4th inst, after the legis-
lative disturbances had occurred. No
party motives nor prejudices can reas-
onably be imputed to him, but hon
estly convinced by what he has seen
and heard there, he has characterized
the leaders of the White League in
severe terms, and suggested summary
modes of procedure against them,
which, thoughthey cannot be adopted,
would, if legal, soon put an end to the
trouble and disorder in that State
NO DESIRE TO INTERFERE WITH THE
DOMESTIC AFFAIRS OF LOUISIANA.
The President says he has no desire
to have United States troops interfere
in the domestic concerns of Louisiana,
or any other State, and has always
avoided ordering or permitting such
interference, except when it seemed
his imperative duty. He would re-
joice if all necessity for the presence
of troops in the South could be re-
moved, but adds: " | regret, however,
to say that this state Of things does
not exist, nor does its existence seem
to be desired in some localities; and,
as to those, it may be proper for me to
say that to the extent that Congress
has conferred power on me to prevent
it, neither Kuklux Klans nor White
Leagues, nor any other association
using arms and violence to execute
their unlawful purposes, can be per-
mitted in that way to govern part of
the country; nor can | see with indif-
ference Union men and Republicans
ostracised, prosecuted and murdered,
OH account of their opinions, rs they
now are in some localities"

THE immigration to California in
1871 numbered $4,000 souls; which
with our natural home production
makes an annual gain of $1,000. Add
ing this to $685. 500, the estimate made
in 1873 by the Surveyor-General of
this State, and we have 760,609 or
thereabouts, for the present popula-
ton. Comparing this with the figures
of the census of l970--560, ,223-we find
an increase of 200, 1856, nearly forty per
cent. in four years, Increasing at the
same rate, the population will, in
1850, be more than q million.

A MOVEMENT has been inaugurated
to plant the west side of the San Joa-
quin valley in Eucalyptus trees. The
idea is good one, and if carried out
will be productive of two desirable
results First, it will supply q vast
section with timber which is now
almost without a tree or shrub; and
second, if the theory Of scientists is
correct the conversion of barren
plain into forest Of tall trees is to
secure an abundance of rain where
before rain seldom fell. 1t will be a
great improvement to the country
when our people devote more time and
attention to tree planting and the cul-
tivation of forest timber. If a specie
of tree can be found which will grow
on the hill-sides, we may in few
years materially change the aspect of
the whole country. 1t is said the
Eucalyptus will grow almost any
where, and we hope the San Joaquin
valley project will be carried into
effect.

the government more than per cent. per annu
