San Diego.

There is not town anywhere that
 we more earnestly wish may abund-
 antly prosper than San Diego. It is
 delightfully."- situated on the only com modious and safe harbor on the Unit ed States Pacific coast, save those of
 San Francisco and Puget Sound Her
 people are enterprising, intelligent,
 hospitable and hopeful. They have
 bOasted much of their harbor ard eli mate, and can hardly overdo in these particulars. As a comfortable place to live, it has no superior, if any equal
 in the whole of our broad country.
 While the town has relied greatly up- on railway connections for prosperity, it has not neglected other improve ments. IL has spent tens of thousands of dollars on dirt roads and the noun tain road now between the town and the Colorado Desert, commands the praise and admiration of travelled persons. Miles and miles of it, have been made at great expense, and it passes through grand mountain scen- cry. But we started in to say that in addition to rail and dirt roads. San Diego justly encourages ocean com merce. Whether attempts like the fol lowing from the San Diego World, to fight or break down other growing interests and localities, will build up the place, remains to be seen, but seem very doubtful from an entirely inde- pendent and friendly standpoint. This is an extract from column in similar tone:
 Let Us endeavOr to get more frequent and rapid communication by sea with San Francisco and the coast above us by means of our coast steamers. for Itl k by the sea we shall eventually be- come a commercial port, and there can be no monopoly by sea. Let Us fight with our might all combinations such lS are made by the Southern Pacific railroad at Los Angeles to force travel back to San Francisco, or the alterna- live of wretched mud wagon trip to San Diego in the coast stages. Let us be active, vigilant, selfreliant, brave md audacious. in the protection and advancement of our interests. and de 1 relopment of our great railroad re- sources, and prosperous result is cer- ! ain.

ResurrectinG Records.

This is essentially a day of repro
 ducing or resurrecting, as it were, rec
 ords made by courts, legislatures and parties, and some curious and useful ones are found among them. Follow
 ing is from the New York Herald's
 Washington correspondent, of date November 27, and shows what a court of justice did in an election case:
 In 1855 the Board of Canvassers of Wisconsin proceeded to canvass the vote for governor, and had finished all but two counties, without which the | the Republican candidate, BashfOrd, had a majority of about 300. There upon the returns from these two coun- ! ties, which were situated in the will ! derncSS, were doctOred by the Demo crats so as to give BarstOw, their can didate, a majority of l500. The latter was given the certificate of election, and on the lst of January, 1856, he was duly inaugurated. Meantime Bash ford sued out writ of quo warrantO before the Supreme Court, which body was composed of one Republican and two Democratic judges, and the issue came to hearing a month or two af- ter Barstow had been instituted as governor. The court went behind the declaration of the canvaSserS, and took testimony showing that the two coun- ties which had given a majority sufii .cient to overwhelm the opposition ma iority of 300 in the rest of the State were situated in the wilderness and possessed a population of men, wo- men and children, all told, hardly equal to 300. The baseness of the fraud was made so apparent that Bar stow immediately rendered his resig- nation, but, nevertheless, the court proceeded to issue both a writ of ous- ter and a mandamus, declaring Bash ford the rightfully elected governor. The latter entered upon and took the office without further question.
 The Bashiord mentioned, is Gov BaShford, resident of Arizona from Its organization to date, and is still a res ident and largely engaged in business at Prescott.

 And now in order to keep pace with our town and Territory and progress generally in this Centennial year. we hereby inform everybody and his wife that we have enlarged the Daily Miner to just double its previous size; that we have reduced the price ofthe week ly from S1 to $5 per year, and will en- large it. also; it is our set purpose to make both editions worthy such pecu- mary and other support as we shall. most surely, need, to carry out such costly enterprises as we have mapped out for our own benefit and that of our Territory. In order to gain this very necessary support, we (J. II. Marion and C. W. Beach,0 both practical prin- ters and impracGcable writers. prom ise to publish a thoroughly live, inde- pendent newspaper.
 We hope The Miners big hopes may not be disappointed. Its proprie- tors have undertaken a large and la- 5orlous task, and they will need a large income 10 meet expenses. to say noth- ing of pay for their own continuous and often uphill labor.

Lessons to Foreigners.

NJ. Louis Simonin, of France, after
 discussing the Exhibition in friendly
 way, sums up Its lessons in the follow
 ing significant paragraphs:
 America can feed Europe with
 corn, wheat, preserved meats and live
 stock as it has supplied it with cotton
 it has clothed Europe and it can nour- Ish Europe IL can get along without Europe as far as regards iron, steel, copper. machinery and most of the
 manufactured products. It will not cease, however, to give Europe the gold and silver which Is needed for all 1 transactions, for the mines of the Unit ed States yield more than the mines of the whole world. As for coal. AmerI- ca will soon produce as much as Eng land, that is as much as all of the rest of the world, and its carbOniferoGs de- posits are twenty times greater than those of England
 America will learn more and more how to get along without Europe, but Europe will not be able to get along without her. It is truly new Eng land which is rising across the seas, and which already threatens the old England in all her markets. The con- mercial interests of France are also threatened; even American wines are competing with ours. The cOnnOis- seur alone demands the wines of France.
 But what Is still graver is the fact that the Americans are getting hold of the processes, the slight of hand of our workmen. Already Tn the manufactur- ing of jewelry, watches, bronZes, fur niture and artificial flowers, they pro duce an article which bears the real stamp of sOlidity and good taste. In these departments the American is more to be feared than the English man, because of his situation, which climate, mixture of races and an in- cessant contribution of European and Asiatic immigration render peculiarly favored. Switzerland Is already in a state of agitation over the success of American watches. In carriage mak- ing, cabinetwork, glasswork and pot tcry the United States Is almost the peer of France and the other great na- tions. In other things they have got ahead of us; and all this in spite of the high price of labor. It may be said that we are their instructors and masters, as Italy was for us at the Re naissance, and that they are destined to surpass us some day, as we did the Italians. Venice, Milan and Florence taught Us formerly how to melt glass, to weave silk and velvet. aud soon we got ahead of them. Will the same thing happen to us in respect to the United States.n

The Colorado Desert.

Following appears in the report o the proceedings of the California Acad emy of Sciences, December i, and
 shows that men of science and mean. Iare bent upon a reclamation of tho
 great California desert:
 Dr Wozencraft was introduced by Dr. A. B. Stout, and made some remark,
 on the feasibility ofreclaiming the Col lOrado Desert of California. On this sub lject, the President remaked that in the preliminary survey of Colonel Gray. Chief Engineer of the Pacific Railways, the levels showed that the Desert was q hundred and fifty-three feet below the level of the sea; but on revision, the
 bench-marks were found to be fifteen feet below the level of the Gulf of Cal iiornia. X paper on this subject would be prepared by Colonel Gray. The President also stated that the rich all luvial lands of the desert would be de- Stroyed by the conversion of the basin into lake. He observed that the shells found, and commonly regarded marine shells, and therefore evidence of the desert once having been the bed of the sea, may have been fresh water shells. Dr. WOZencraft stated that his project of restoring the Desert would be reviv- co Tn Congress this Winter.
