Nevada Immigrants.

The N Nevau.- ,,,.
over their success in securing g. :
number of Immigrants than Califor-
MIA. But the San Francisco Post says
"their humor is mingled with lamen-
tation over the fact that they have re-
ceived an accession of several thous-
ands of destitute people from the
throng." We shall be agreeably sur
prised if the same cause does not pro-
duce lamentation in other quarters
before midsummer. We would sug-
gest to some of our citizens who are
devsing means to induce immigra-
tion to Southern California that there
is far more danger that we shall have
more than we want, than there is that
we shall not have enough. A gradual
influx of intelligent, industrious pe0-
pie into new country is very desira-
BILE and always beneficial; but an
overwhelming tide of immigrants of
any class is not beneficial, and if they
are in destitute circumstances, it is
both misfortune to the immigrants
and disastrous to the prosperity of the
country. We are glad to see healthy
increase Of population, and we have
no fears but we shall have as many as
we need. without any further effort on
our part. The fact is, we have been
little TOO much advertised already.

Land Sharks.

The Sacramento Record Union is
exercised muchly in behalf of the poor
emigrants that fall into the hands OF
Southern Gland sharks" as the col
onization companies are termed by
that journal. 1t is only small bunch
of sour grapes, and it has set the Rec
ords teeth on edge. He will get over
it by-and-bye. There will be immi-
grafton enough to satisfy all California
before the end of the yeer. We are
very sorry to see that the prosperity
of Southern California has excited the
jealousy of our neighbors. Sacra-
mento aud San Francisco, the old
father and mother of all California,
are terrible fussy over US. What's the
matter, old pap, amt We one of your
children? Does it make you mad to
see US getting up in the world-a little
independent? Shame on you; you
must be in your dotage. Good old
sensible parents rejoice to see their
children prosperous and happy. Be-
have yourselves, or your neighbors
will all laugh at you. We are really
ashamed of your conduct, and if you
don't stop it we will sever the family
connection before long.

The Fountain Of Youth.

The early Spanish explorers made
many vain attempts to reach fabu-
lous fountain of youth, forgetting that
youth and health are inherent and
not to be renewed after being once lost
to man. They naturally sought this
tabled renewer of youth amidst birds,
flowers, and fruits, but found it not.
To-day the fountain of youth is still
sought by the enfeebled and care-worn
mortals. 2 Thousands of invalids seek
itin Florida and the West Indies dur
ing the Winter, and continue the
search during the Summer in Colora-
do, Saratoga, Cape May, the Catskiils,
and the White Mountains. Mi Millions
are annually spent at these much
vaunted resorts, and yet they have not
a tithe af the advantages of Southern
California. In Los Angeles we have
the baImy atmosphere of Florida and
the West Indies, without the malaria
and pestilence which blights those
fair lands. We have the cool
breezes of Cape May and the
Catskills without the harshness
which characterizes the Allan
tic slope and its snowy mountains.
These are our fountains of youth, and
had DE SoTo penetrated to this point,
he might have found the tabled pool
which he sought vainly in the jun
giles of Louisiana. The gentle breezes
would have famed his fevered brow;
the warm sun would have mantled his
wasted cheeks; the beautiful scenery
would have inf1amed his religious
fervor. These health-giving qualities
we offer to the world at large. The
land in the neighborhood may be
bought for a price, but the climate is
always thrown in. This is bonus
the purchaser always receives without
charge, and yet it is as valuable to mar
as the land itself. To the thousands
of invalids seeking health We say
"Come to Los Angeles" Here yol
will find Florida and the West Indies
in Winter and Colorado and Saratogs
in Summer. Here is the perpetua
Spring sung by ancient poets, making
youth and health attainable by all.

The Press to Blame.

1t might be well for the press, an
agency that is all-powerful to make
and unmake regulations, to pause and
consider to what extent it is response
BILE for the decentralization SO prevalent
i'm official circles. Without taking
into account the undeserved promi-
nence into which weak men have
been puffed and the injury done to-
public interests by the carelessness of
newspaper writer's in this particular,
it is plain that we are to blame to
some extent for the great distaste

conscientious man, with good business
habits, ,eaI, always secure a good BUSH
ness. where, free from the supervision
of others, he can earn a larger sum
than is usually paid to our county and
State officials. Such man does not
care to sacrifice his independence and
meet the storm of abuse and detrac-
ton that always confronts the candi-
date for office. -a'-F '''

Coal Mine strikers.

NEW YORK, April l6th.-A dispatch
from Pottsville, Penn, says the secret
of the long continuance of the strike
and OF the miners living so comforta-
bly, and keeping up bold front is in
the credit system always pursued by
the merchants. 1t was impossible in
the outset to refuse to credit regular
customers, who had always before
paid promptly, and as no one knew
how soon the suspension would end,
the merchants were induced to keep
on throwing good money after bad, in
the desperate hope that a favorable turn
in the financial tide wOuld. bring it all
back again. But at last wholesale
dealers have taken alarm, and are re-
fusing to sell goods to this region ex-
cept for cash. Without fresh supplies
retailers will soon have nothing for
their customers except empty shelves.
One firm of general dealers is credited
with $42, 1000 already invested in the
strike. Many others have $5, 900 to
$4,000 on their books. John Sivey,
President of the National Labor AssO-
citation, is quoted as saying that the
strike is on its last legs.

Matrimony in America.

In ideal matrimony the husband and
wife are not absorbed into each other
by any means. They remain totally
separate individuals, with their own
aims, desires, and loves, but blending
as it were into one whenever union is
necessary. The wife i'm this marriage
is no slave or toy of her husband, but
his equal, companion, friend and ad-
wiser, inspirer, stimulatOr, and even
agitator. Him she meets with open,
frank eyes, not in the barbarous fash
ion of Western Europe, abashed and
submissive; and him she leads on to a
higher and nobler life, not administer
ing to his base material comforts and
ease, but urging him ever onward and
upward. The ideal husband, knowing
her to be his equal in every respect,
mentaLand moral, naturally regards
her with the deeper veneratiOn that
she is physically his inferior. This
ideal condition, according to the ac-
count of many foreign observers, actu-
ally exists somewhere in this country
we have never seen stated,
but probably not in Connecticut, Indi-
ana or lllinOis.-1he GALAXY.
1t exists in Wyoming Territory.

The Political Situation.


! The new departure in American pol
tiles, which occurred in 1872, was pre-
cipitated by a few Republicans who
bolted the party ranks because Of their
opposition to GRANTS re election.
The Convention at Cincinnati, which
nominated Mr.. GREELEY for the Pres
idency and which Threatened to split
the Republican party, resulted in the
dividing Of the Democratic party.
The GRANT Republicans soon discov-
cred that this would be the result.
The discovery of this fact secured the
nomination and reelection of General
GRANT. The third-term party are
playing the same reticent game now.
Will the Independents and Democrats
learn wisdom from experience. Ii
these two parties unite on one candi-
date there is some hope of success;
but If three tickets are In the field,
General GRANT will serve a third
term and as many more as he may
desire.

Emma Mine Case.

New YORK, April 16th.-The line of
defense in the Emma mine litigation
Is shown very clerly in the answer of
Trenor w. Park to the complaint of
the Emma Mining. Company of Utah
and England, which is published to-
day. The answer in effect is that the
plaintiffs made their investment with
wide open eyes, having previously
taken pains to satisfy themselves as to
the truth of the statements Of defend
ants, and that defendants areInot prop
erly chargeable with the failure of the
investment to be a. remunerative as
was expected. -L-N lnn .n-.. N ~. -.-IL

Five Hundred Dollars Re ward.


MARYsvILLE, April l8.-The driver
of the Downieville stage, which was
robbed on the l4th instant, on his re-
turn trip yesterday stopped to exam
inc the ground at the scene of the
robbery and discovered the treasure
box, lying within thirty feet of the
road. The letters, papers and way
bills were found uninjured, and were
brought down on to-day's stage. The
rohber had broken the box open with
an old hatchet and taken the treasure
and gold watch. Sheriff Toorey and
Detective Mccoy have been on the
grounds and have discovered q clew
which they believe will lead to the
discovery of the robbers. The box
and hatchet are now on exhibition at
the express Office. $500 reward for the
capture of the robber and one-fourth
the treasure recovered are offered by
Wells, Fargo & Co.

overland Blockade.

SALT LAKE CITY, April l6th.-Quite
mum Der of passengers, among them
General Crook, are here awaiting re-
pairs of the Union Pacific Railroad in
order to proceed Eastward. The pas
senger train due at Ogden the 14th,
and all since then, have not yet ar
rived. 1t is understood that the trou-
BILE extends for a distance of about ten
miles along Bitter Creek Valley,
which has been inundated by the
melting snow. Two bridges are re-
ported gone, and the track is washed
out at several places. 1t is impossible
to tell when the trains will run over
this section of the road, but the rail-
road company are making every
effort to repair the track and bridges.
SAIL LAKE CITY, April 17th.-A
lot of immigrant passengers walked
about eight miles and got into Green
River station last evening. The rail
road company will start a train west
from Green River with these immi-
grants this morning. The water in
Butte Creek is still rising, and is con-
siderably higher to-day than yester-
day. There are three bridges gone
and large portions of track washed
out in different places. From all we
can hear to-day it would not appear
the ROAD road It5hfd aey train can can pass over 9..
will depend upon the weather. Ifthe
weather continues warm and the snow
melts, the difficulty at this place will
be increased, besides endangeriug the
road at many other points.
The wires are down East of Green
River this morning. On account of
the food and want of means of con
veyance, it is difficult to get at the
breaks which are at the "wash-Outs."
A good force of repair men are out,
and We hope to be working again be-
fore night.

Official PecuIaton.
We clip the following from the San
Francisco Call of the 18th instant:


The complaint is general throughout the
Stare of oppressive taxation. 1t is beginning
To be- discovered by the people that they have
not heretofore exercised proper judgment in
me selection OF their county officers, and that
the salaries IN mast cases are out of all pro-.
portion to The duties performed. Extrava-.
gance and peculation have been the order of
me day. irresponsible unserupuiOus men
lake little thought how the money is to be
raised Tor conducting the public service; and
care less upon whom the burdens are to fall
II they can provide handsomely for their own
comfort. Rings have been formed by which
this class perpetuate their power. The facility
with which they can secure bondsmens Is an
Incentive to official aspirations; and when
they default the counties are put to the expense
OF prosecuting them, without, except in rare
instances, being able to Recover any part of
the plunder.
We endorse the above with one ex-
ceptiOn. The salaries of county Off
GERS is not out of all proper ton to the
duties they have to perform. Nor is
1T their high salaries that burden the
people with taxes. But 'sextrava-
gance and peculation have been the
order of the day." and it is this that
burdens the people. We could even
double the salaries of our county off,
GERS and never feel it, if they were
honest and faithful. We want good
men in Office, and We are willing to
pay them literally. The time has
past when good men seek office for the
honor IL confers, and that old fashion
ed patriotism which brought the
best men to the front, is obsolete.
Men work for pay now, and there is
hardly an Office In the gift of the peo-
pie that pays a competent man as
much as he can make at some other
business. 1t is this half pay system
which puts the offices into the hands
of rogues. Good men refuse to accept
office because they will not steal; bad
men seek office, not for the salary, but
because it affords them an opportunity
to steal. Let us have no more officers
than wesneed, and let us pay them
well, and there will be no inducement
to steal. The high salary howl is
flabby old argument gotten up by
''gues and demagogues to create
sen.etion among unthinking people.
ray e>ery officer liberal salary, and
give all ieas to the county.

Wool Market Unsettled.

Boston, April 19th.-There has been
a fair amount Of business in wool, but
the trade continues unsatisfactory.
Holders are disposed to close up stocks
as fast spossible. Manufacturers are
quite Indifferent about future supplies
and are purchasing only for immedi-
ate wants.
In California wool the transactions
of the week have been 800 TBS. Fall
at i5tG25c; i0,000 lbs. Spring at 30@ 36c
The receipts of Fall wool have been Of
much better quality and condition than
any previously received.
