No Hand i'm the Game.

The New York Tribune Liberal Re
publican referring to the desperate
game'that Grant is playing to produc,
trouble in the South, and thus impress.
the Northern Republicans with the beliel
that his continuation in office is neces-
sitY, says:
Everything points to concentration OF
force upon the programme indicated by
the Tribune a few days since. The pas
sions of the war are to be rekindled, sec
tional animosities revived, and presiden-
tial campaign made upon appeals to pre-
JUDGE and arguments addressed, not
to reason, but to passion.
If this is. the game, it will have to be
single-handed altogether. The South
will take no part in it. Her people will
obey the laws and observe their obligations
as law-abiding people. They cannot
afford to exhaust their energies in a vast
ing strife of sections. As for the wrongs
hey suffer, they will abide the verdict of
he nation. They will also contradict,
~ their acts, the SANDER that they medi-
ate any disturbance whatever of the
uestions settled by the war.

Il OTHER UNFORTUNATE VETO.

The law prohibiting the payment of
State Taxes in Auditors warrants. was a
quack expedient of financial thinkers. and
besides, was reputation of the worst
kind. 1t was refusal by the State
to receive her own paper for her own
dues
Its authors pretended to think that If
would raise the value of warrants and
were so importunate in their clamor for
the bill, that we were prepared to see it
have fair trial
The result has been a complete falsif-
cation OF all their promises. The law
has been tried. The people have not
been permitted to pay their State taxes
IN warrants. They have had to paw in
greenbacks or suffer the consequences of
delinquency. But State warrants have
renamed at heavy discount, while the
currency which was collected has been
gobbled up by the sharks who have laid
IN wait at the doors of the Treasury.
Seeing that the law was a failure q c
large majority of the Legislature passed Il
Dill repeating it, and AUTHORIZING the II
collection of State taxes in warrants as 6
heretofore. This measure, the Governor
with his proclivity to 90 wrong has n
vetoed. We trust the Legislature will :,
pass it Notwithstanding. 1t would be q =
'ufhclent reason for this advice to uroe
mat the present law has been tried. and 81
laS utterly failed to accomplish what its ~ ~
'uVocates promised. Among other
easons why it should be passed over the
eto, are the following: u:
ISL state warrants should be receiva- r.,
ie ior taxes as measure Of relief. IF o.,
ny taxpayer can avail himself Of tho -
epreclatlon in State paper to lessen the NJ
lrden of taxation, he should have the 49,
.lvllege of doing so. There is no reason 80
ny he should pay his debt to the State =
currency, only to be drawn from the no ,
'easury by capitalists and spectators Raj
ina. Warrants cannot be made equal +
currency, while the whole amount &C.
ed is subject to the control of capital \

WHEN THERE IS No MORE WEST TO GO TO Speaking of the preva- lent Western immigration fever, the St. Louis Republican observes "Moving West is an American business; we have been engaged in it for a hundred years. But what will we do when there is no longer a West to immigrate to? That time has nearly arrived. When it comes, the growth of the country thereafter will react to- ward its centre. The population of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennes- see, can be doubled, and yet not reach more than a hundred to the square mile. The country will grow in different way. Great manufacturing centres will arise {; interior towns and cities will be built up; our coal and iron re- sources will be developed, and the principal part ofour surplus grain products will be needed for home  consumption. That is what we will do when there is no longer a West to emigrate to-"

 It is estimated that the wheat crop of California this season will fall short of that of last year by about one third, but that the de creased production will be fully compensated by the advance in prices. Wheat has become a staple product of that state, and in some years the yield is enor- nous. Recently large qurntities of tule lands, which formerly were regarded as worthless, have been reduced to cultivation, and have proved exceedingly productive. The San Francisco Bulletin says that farmer on tule ranch lately sold 1000 tons of wheat, a part only of his harvest, for $40,000, holding the remainder for an in crease in price. This crop was raised on an island in the Sacra- mento river, the whole area of which was not worth twelve cents an acre q few years ago. It is es- timated that there are 25,000 acres of the marshes known as tule land this year sown to timothy and wheat, while 25,000 acres more have been so well protected by levees that crops will be pro duced next year. The reclama- tion of these lands, which foul years ago did not yield a dollar in value, will add next year al least $2,000,000 to the agricultur' al products of California.

The utterances of the Washing ton Republican in relation to the policy of government are always important, as it is we'll known fact that that paper is the person al organ of the President, indeed it is more generally known as "the Kitchen Organ" than by its real name. A recent issue of the Re- publican, in an elaborate article discusses the war in Cuba and broadly aflirms that it may be necessary for the American gov ernment to change sits Cuban pol icy from one of inert sympathy and strict neutrality to one of comparative and natural fraterni- zation with the patriots" From which we understand that Gener al Grant seriously thinks of inter- fering in the Cuban civil war in favor of the patriots. Possibly this might be a strong card for him to play in the Presidential game. However that may be, certainly every principle of hu- manity demands that some civil ized bower shall interfere to check the ferocity of the contest being waged in Cuba.

 Midland Farmer: On Thurs dcy a child of Mir. A. Langley, who lives two miles from town, while playing in the yard, was at tackled by a rooster and was knocked down and spurred sever al times in the face and head be- fore the mother could rescue it. Dr. Ewing, who was called in, found that one stroke of the spur had penetrated the brain. The little sufferer-eighteen months old-lingered in great agony un- til Saturday when death came to it's relief. Dr. Ewing says that during a practice of over twenty years he never met with or heard of such a case before, and it is perhaps the first in the history oi the world.
