Not noua RiQht.

Either the water commissioners or the |
city council are neglecting their duty in re
gard to filing the trenches over the water
mains, and it is quite probable that we are
to have another botch job. 1t was agreed
that the broken or fine rock should be kept
separate from the earth, and supply clay
earth from the bluffs for filling. Nothing
has been done to carry out this agreement,
except to haul away unbroken rock, Last
evening we noticed the filing which was
being done along in front of Buford's block
and we believe the pipes would freeze if
they were sunk ten feet and filed as it is
there. Men were shoveling in the loose
rock promiscuously, just as they reached
it, and directly on top of the pipes in
places could be seen clear broken rock in
any quantity. Nobody was overseeing the
men and they seemed to take delight in
hustling in the broken rock. Mr.. Riley
has called on Street Sup't Ziegler to know
lif he is authorized to separate the broken
rock from the earth and furnish clay earth
where needed, and finds that he is not

SPECIE PAYMENTs.-There is demand to re-
turn to specie payments, because the greenbacks
are overdue, discredited and worthless rags The
bondholders have stipulated for the payment of
their principal and interest in gold. There is
not enough gold and silver in the country to pay
the interest on the public debt, to say nothing
about doing the business of the country. That
specie, of course the bond-holders must have.
What are the business men to do? Why, estab-
lish free banks. Withdraw all the legal tenders,
which are receivable in all transactions, and in
which everybody has confidence, and infest the
country with wildcat banks, whose currency is
not legal tender, and which may smash at any
time. 1t may be remembered what crashing
of wildcat banks occurred from 1854 to 1860,
when the money was scattered broadcast among
the farmers, laboring men, and small business
men, aud the money was not worth over 25 cents
on the dollar. This may not be very cheering to
the common people, but it is big thing for
money gamblers. They are demanding speedy
return to specie payment, and a consequent re-
turn to the happy wildcat era, and of course
they must be gratiied

OyERDONE IMMIGRATION.
Poor Prospects for Poor Wen on the Pacif
Coast.

There are strong indications that the colony
business is being very much oyerdOne in Califor-
mia at present, and SAs IL cannot he overdone
without acting injuriously upon the whole re-
giOn, and without hurting the reputation of the
whole State and entailing loss upon the best
class of emigrants, the attention of the public
ought to be directed to the situation. Colonial
tion, when properly and prudently and fairly
carried out, presents many obvious advantages
to the intending settlers, and there can be no
question that it is a capital method of filling up
a State But colonization, like everyth thing else
that is originally genuine and square, holds ont
so many inducements to schemers that it is i'm
possible it should escape imitation with fraUdu-
lent intent. Consequently it is not cause for
surprise that there should have arisen a class of
adventurers and spectators who have availed
themselves of a pretense of public spirit to push
enterprises of a really undesirable character, and
who have in several instances purchased bad
lands for a song and sold them for five and six
prices to unsuspicious emigrants. The southern
Counties have naturally become the principal
field of these impOsters, and for the reason
that the real advantages of settlement in many
parts of that region very great, while it is par
ticularly easy to show apparent evidences of the
rapidity with which homes can be made here.
The fact, moreover, that some bona fde colonies
have been established here, and that the pur
chasers have had reason to be satisfied with their
investment, has served to help the bogus colo
niZers; who thus trade upon the reputation of
their neighbOrs, and use it to entrap the unwary.
Some of these fraudulent schemes are bolstered
up by journals which have apparently come into
existence for no other purpose. These incessant-
" and with tedious and fulsome asseveratOns,
sound the praises of the new colony; assert that
land not worth s. all acre is worth 500; studi-
Ously conceal defects of situation of aridity, of
SOIL etc, which if known would at once put an
end to all hopes of quilting the simple; and, in
fact, spread false information with impotence

The Chief Endorsed.

The other day, We received a letter from one
of the most prominent and loyal Republicans in
the State, which he expressly stated was not for
publication; but upon several questions he
speaks so emphatcally, that we cannot refrain
from giving extracts from his letter, without
disclosing his name. In the first place, he pays
AUST tribute to Doniphan County, in the aid
business last Winter. He was in a position
where he had the best means of knowing who
contributed aid to the destitute West, and he
places DOniphan County in the front rank. In
the second place, he unquaIifiedly endorses the
position of the Chief on Third Term and Finances
We are well aware that the Chief is not alone
among Republicans upon these issues; and when
they undertake to ridicule opponents of the Third
Term as fools, scared at a buggaboo, or denounce
the advocates of greenbacks as repudiationists,
they have bigger crowd to whip in than they
imagine. We let the writer speak for himself:
