yard, and to train them properly, it is just |
that you should annually assist our Most
Rev. and most jealous Archbishop to build
the grand Seminary which he did not hes
itate in commencing, trusting in the pro.
lection of Heaven and our hearty coop |
Grafton.
Never forget, o Legislators, that all
our little advancements would be ephe- |
neral and fruitless If we had not based the |
social order of our republic on that ever |
attacked but always victorious rock, the |
Catholic Church. Her divine teachings, |
which neither men nor nations can deny |
without destroying Themselves is the model
of our institutions aud the law of our laws.
AS obedient and faithful children of the
Venerable Old Man, the August and In
failible Pontiff, who has been abandoned
by all the powerful, when vile and cow
ardly ir fidelity attacked him, we have con-
timed to send him every month the small
pecuniary assistance which you voted him
in 1873. Since our weakness obliges us to
ne the passive witnesses of his slow mar
tyrdom, let him at least receive this humble
Offering as testimony of our tenderness,
and affii ction, and token of our obedience
and fidelity.
CONCLUSION.
In few days more will complete the
period of administration for which l was
elected in 1869. The Republic has enjoyed
six years of peace, interrupted only a few
uhyS III nioVd"pA py SuC pdio
tion of the aborigines against the whites in
1872 and in these six years it has steadily
pursued the way of true progress, under
the visible protection of Providence. The
progress of the Republic would, no doubt,
have been more rapid, if had possessed
the administrative qualities which lam,
unfortunately, destitute of, or if, for the
accomplishment of good, there were no
more required than an intense desire to
obtain it,
If Ihave been guilty of short comings,
1 ask your forgiveness a thousand times
over, and ask it in the spirit of the most
profound humility, of all my fellow conn
trymen, fully conscious that my will has
had no part in them.
If, on the other hand, you think that
have succeeded in anything, attribute it
first to God and to the Immaculate Dis
penser of the priceless treasures of His
mercy, and then to yourselves, to the peo-
pie, to the army, and to all who, in the
various departments of the Government
have assisted me with intelligence and
fidelity in the discharge of their onerous
duties.

BRAVERY REWARDED.

Some four weeks ago the Quincy
California stage was stopped by a gang
of highwaymen, who ordered the
driver to hand down Wells, Fargo Il
Co.'S treasure box. Colonel Won
Schmidt, of Lake Bigler dam renown,
was passenger on the stage, and be-
ing brave man, interposed objections
to the request of the robbers, in the
shape of revolver. Resistance of
this character was so unexpected that
the highwaymen were non plussed, and
fled without getting the treasure. In
recognition of this galantry the express
company have presented the Colonel
with handsome watch and chain. 1t
is gold hunting case Jurgensen watch,
adjusted winding, minute repeater,
independent seconds, with chain and
seal of California gold quartz, and
workmanship, engraved as follows;
presented to Colonel A. w. Won
Schmidt, as tribute to his gallantry IN
successfully resisting, at the peril Of
his life, the demands of highwaymen
for Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treasure box
and contents on the Quincy stage, near
Live Yankee Ranch, California, August
II, 1875. Lloyd Tevis, President. F."
The action of Won Schmidt is new
departure from the course hitherto
pursued by passengers when stages
were stopped and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
treasure box demanded. Travellers
never objected to the demand or thought
of Offering resistance. This prompt
recognition Of bravery on the part OF
a passenger by the company, will have
