of these pairs the amount paid the
commissioners in the Democratic
counties was greater than in the Re
publican, while in only nine pairs was
this state of things reversed.
Taking all the counties Of the State
together, the average amount for
services paid the commissioners in
the Republican counties was 1894 81
while in Democratic counties it was
1910 OS.
The entire amount paid to Com
missioners in Democratic counties
was $64,321 Al; while IN the Repub-
lican counties it was hut $37, 1872 As;
thus making the people pay an ex-
cess of $26,94S %, in this one item
alone, in the Democratic counties, for
the luxury of Democratic control.
DEMOCRACY EVERYWHERE THE SAME.
So it seems whether we take the
State or the counties, the rule re-
mains the same, that wherever the
Democratic party obtains power it
runs ut once to wastefnlness, reck-
lessness, and excessive expenditure.
Even while striving for political as
tendency it spurns economy, and
rushes into extravaganza. What
would it do if its strife should be a
success, and the State and nation fall
fully beneath its sway? Let farm
ers, producers, and taxpayers gene
rally, dispassionately answer.

1t will he seen that ten years have
almost doubled the value of Califor
MA property on the tax duplicates,
and that too. without any of the in
flation arising from currency eXpan-
sion. The tax values of California
are based upon solid coin, and SO low
are the appraisements of property
that the real value is computed at
S775, 100000, or nearly three times
the assessed valuation.
An approximately fair index tothe
material prosperity of the communi-
ty is furnished by the numbers of
paupers which have to be supported
by the public in proportion to the
aggregate population. In California.
by the census of 1870, only 991 per-
sons received support as paupers, out
of an aggregate population of &c.,
PAT. Among the Eastern States
nearly similar in population, we find
that Connecticut had to maintain
l ,237 paupers at the public charge
out of her, population of 537, ,454;
that Maine had to support no less
than 1851 paupers out of an aggre-
gate population of 626,9l5, and that
Vermont, with 330,550 inhabitants,
maintained no less that 1885 of them
by public charity, as paupers. When
it is considered that these latter
States have the reputation of being
among the most Industrious and
prosperous in the Union, the superior
advantages of California for furnish
ing the means of comfortable living
to her people, becomes apparent.
In no direction has the State of
California exhibited more advance
ment than in the extension of lines
of railway. While in 1865 there
were but PA miles oil railroad in
operation in that great State, the rail
way mileage had increased in 1870 To
926 miles, and in 1875 it exceeds
400 miles.
In the tables of the commercial ma
rine of the United States, California
stands out prominently. The whole
number of her sailing vessels, steam
vessels, DC, for the fiscal year 1874
was 973, having an aggregate ca
pacity of 166,4a9 tons, only five
States in the Union surprising her
in this Important industry.
California exported during the last
fiscal year goods and bullion to the
amount Of $33, 500, 1876, being heav-
ier amount of exports than any State
in the Union, with the exception of
New York and Louisiana.
In short, in whatever aspect we
examine the history and statistics of
the material development Of Califor-
MIA, as compared with those of her
sister States, in which the paper
money system prevails, we shall find
fresh cause for congratulating her
upon that fixed adherence to the
solid dollar through all temptations,
political and speculative, which has
contributed so powerfully to the
wealth and prosperity of her citi-

SANERANT relates the following an
ecdote of Schwartz, a famous German
nainter: 'Having been engaged to
paint the ceiling of the town hall at
Munich, by the day, his love of dis
sipation induced him to neglect his
duties, and the magistrates and over
seers of the work were frequently
obliged to hunt him out of the tavern.
AS he could no longer drink in quiet,
he stuffed an image of himself, left
the legs hanging down between the
staging where he was accustomed to
work. and sent one of his boon COM
panions to move the image little
two or three times a day, and to take
it away at noon and night. BY means
of this deception he drank without
the least disturbance for a whole fort
night together. the inn-keeper being
aware of the plot. The officers came
round twice a day to look after him.
and, seeing the well-known stockings
which he was accustomed to wear,
suspected nothing wrong and went
on their way, greatly extolling their
new convert as the most industrious
and conscientious painter in the
world"

MANS A FAILURE.
BY MRS. SARA woLvERToN.


Only when he wastes his gilt,
Casts his treasure all away;
Shedding ne'e gladstone light,
O'er another's darkened way.
When with fields o'erfiowine grain,
And with storehouse boarded high,
He can pass with careless hand,
Some poor brother closely by.
Only when he sees in life,
Nothing but the sense of self;
Garnering up, until he counts
Millions of his sordid pelf.
All then yes to him it must
Seem vapor, all in vain;
And the thought of deaths dark door,
Waken recompense of pain.
But to him who holds Gods gifts,
Like Steward, faithful, true;
AS he lifts the prison-bars,
oh! how different Opes the view.
He can lay his mantle down,
Trusting in Fathers hand;
Leaning on Savior's words,
Calmly wait the promised land.

from s4,44O,0O0 in 1860, to sll, AGO.
600 in 1870.
The valne of farms in California,
by the census of 1870, amounted to
Sl41, ,240,O2S; while in 1860 her
farms were of the value only of $4S,-
726,s04. 1t thus appears that the
actual value of productive farms had
nearly trebled IN ten years, a rate of
increase absolutely without parallel
except in the new and rich agricul-
tural States of Iowa, Kansas, Min
nesota and Nebraska. During the
same time, the value of farming i'm
plements and machinery in Califor-
mia was more than doubled.
The advance in the assessed value
of property, real and personal, dur
ing the last ten years, Is exhibited in

Southern VS.. Northern
Manufactures. 1

At recent meeting in Charles
ton, S. G, a letter was read from
a Northern manufacturer, from
which the annexed extract is
taken: "While | have only met
expenses in the North in running
twenty frames, $1,000 spindles, J
the return | have from my six
teen frames of the same machine
ry, in the South for the last six
months, have been $4,000 clear
profit. Oar company has decided
to sell out our machinery North.
The South enjoys an advantage
not less than twenty per cent,
over the Northern manufactures. "
With soch facts as these star
ing people in the face, why don't
manufacturing spring. up all over
the Southern country, and es-
pecially in Tennessee, blessed with
every facility in abundance2 We
need establishments to make all
we need, and to consume our pro-

in hand and work together, then
shall prosperity abound, and
Tennessee become the garden
