1t is amusing to read the speculations
of certain papers. notably the Sacra-
mento Record MON, in relation to what
are termed diSsensions amongst persons
belonging to the Independent party.
We learn frem what may be considered
good authority, that there is nothing in
them. The reports are the emanations
of those who would like to control the
State-prostitute all parties for their
especial benefit while longer. Possibly
some men who wish to be candidates for
important offices may be disappointed.
Now the joke comes in at this point.
The Gait, which denies the rumOrs of
Dolly Warden discussions, WAS itself the
authority for those rumors. Perhaps
the proprietor of the Cat takes the
public TO be fools. 1t would seem SO.
Perhaps he thinks the public are rot
aware that Higgins, Chute. Cannon 4
Co.. are Dolly Warden leaders. But even
if he thought it possible to hoodwink
the public, his last sentence spoils the
whole denial, by confirming the ramors
of dissension. Possibly, says the Cal,
'sone men who wish to be candidates
for important offices may be disappoint-
ed" That of course refers TO the Dolly
Warden schi>maiics who think that
Fitch. Pickering & Swift ought not to
have all the offices. This is a very poor
way to make it believed that the breach
has been healed; and, moreover. We
learn from what may be considered
good authority that the Calls state
ment is altogether foreign to the truth,
and that the scbism shows no sign Of

Meterologists and biologists are not
quite agreed as to the connection be-
| tween the rainfall of a country taken in
gross and the diminution or increase of
| the forests. There are many matters yet
| problematic. yet in dispute in the
premises; but some very vital points are
considered to be definitely settled. and
| these are more than sufficient to deter
| mine the instant Importance of the
preservation of forests where they exist,
and their restoration or establishment
where they do not exist. 1t is settled
that denundation of forest lands converts
into a series Of extremes OF drought and
flood what would be otherwise toierable
and equible supply Of moisture. Where
the woods once retained the rain water
and sprisg water. allowing it to trickle
away gradually, keeping the streams at
average height and the soil always moist.
there are rushing floods which sweep off
the soil of the hills, inundate the low
country, and then disappear, leaving the
streams low and the soil to parch and
crack with drought. Local rains and
occasional rains cease, and We have ill.,
stead a constantly increasing tendency
toward Il dry season and rainy season.

THE PRESIDENT NOT FAvoRABLr DISPOSED TO-
WARD HIM.
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 17.-Pinchback
will arrive here tomorrow night. An attempt
will be made to seat him under his new Gre
dentials. The indications now are that the
attempt will be successful. This new trick of
Pnchback's does not, as was first supposed,
involve the validity of the Kellogg election in
1872. for the reason that Pinchback resigned
his office before he was elected last week.
This technicaiity does not bring the validity
of the Kellogg election in 1872 into the Sem
ate; for, even if Pinchback was legally elected
IN 1872, vacancy was created by his resigna-
ton. The resignation was privately accepted
by Kellogg, late at night, on the day proceed
ing Pinchback's last election. The President
is understood not to favor the proposed seat
ing OF Pinchback. At all events, he sent to-
day for two Southern Republican Senators,
and told them that he did not consider it
necessary for the maintenance Of the kellogg
Government that Pinchback should be seated.
ms suggestion is directly opposed to the
action OF the Senate Republican caucus. 1t
IS possible that it may have the effect to cause
Inc Republican Senators to review that caucus
action.
