ing, and intent of the Constitution
the theory of the government, the
wickedness of secession, etc., which
resolutions were indefinitely postponed
whereupon Cox, of New York, offered
the following; which is the true Dem
ocratic doctrine, and contained the
precise ideas which BAKER had tried
to present for the benefit of the Re-
publican party, the only difference be-
ing, that Cox clothed them in better
and palmer English, as follows:
"ResolUed, That the people OF the United
States constitute a nation, in the sense, to the
extent and tor the purposes defined in the
Federal Constitution.
"Resolued, That the Government of the
United States Is q federal union, and was
formed by the people of the several States in
their sovereign capacity that the rights and
powers OF the United States Government are
QeHueO auQ Dy the teuerdI COnStltu-
tion, that these rights and powers cannot be
enlarged or diminished d except by an amend
ment to the Constitution.
"Resolped, That the rights of States have the
same sanction OF security in the Constitution
as The rights and powers of the Federal Gov
ernment, and that local domestic govern
ment by the several States, within the limits
of the Constitution, is absolutely necessary
for the preservation of the liberties OF the citi
zens and the continuance of our Republican
system of government.
"Resolued, That the doctrine that any State
has the right to secede from the Union is in
conflict with the idea OF perpetual Union,
as contemplated by the Constitution, and
should be regarded as being forever eXtin-
guished by the result ofthe recent civil con-
hict."
Mr.. HOLMAN quickly called for the
yeas and nays. Coming from DEM
ocratic member, BLAINE took it for
granted there was a snake in it, and
quick as thought rose in his place and
said he chopped every Union member
In the House would vote against these
resolutions" A number of Republi-
cans saw, with modification, the RI
diculous position it would place the
party in to vote against resolutions
which simply stated the truth about
the Union and the Constitution in a
more distinct and better manner than
it had ever before been stated. But
BLAINE fired into it with speech, by
which he placed himself solemnly
upon the record as denying the COM
pact of the Union, denying the rights
of the States, and denying the tri-
umph Of the Union in the late civil
war, and the extinction of the issues
of secession. Some of the members
laughed, while others hung their
heads in chagrin. 1t was a death
blow to poor BLAINE's aspirations for
the Presidency. To commemorate his
fall we will add one more verse to one
of our national songs. 1t should be
placed on his tombstone:
Yankee Doodle took a saw,
With Latriot devotion,
To trim the tree nf liberty,
According to his notion.
Yankee Doodle, on limb,
Like any other noodle,
Sawed between the tree and him,
And down came Yankee Doodle.

Encouraging Prospect.

It is gratifying to note a marked
improvement, over few weeks psst,
in our financial affairs. Business is
steadily improving and money is
quite easy. During the past two weeks
the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany have disbursed about one hund-
red and fifty thousand dollars in this
valley. The greater portion of this
money went into the hands of the
employees of the Company and pass
ed from them to their grocers, butch
ers and other trades-people. 1t is
therefore in circulation and doing
much in the way of removing the
financial stress of which our people
have for some time complained. On
enquiry at the farmers & Merchants
Bank we learn that deposits are COM
ing in rapidly and among those with
whom, few months back, prevailed
an inclination to panic an easy conf
dence is apparent. Borrowers find no
difficulty in obtaining loans on good
security at the usual rate of interest.
The preparations for building and i'm
proving, apparent on every hand, af-
ford the most substantial evidence of
the easier condition of our finances.
Steps are already taken for the erec-
ton of hundreds of new houses in the
city and suburbs during the Summer.
The demand for real estate is quite
active and prices for desirable build
ing lots have advanced from ten to
fifteen per cent. within the past month.
To sum up: money is plentier, busi-
ness livlier and times easier in Los
Angeles now than at any previous Pc
ricd since the closing of the Bank of
California.

The Cost of Gas.

Gas is expensive in Los Angeles.
We believe the rate is higher here
than in any other place of considera-
BILE Importance in the State. For a
long time Los Angeles consumers
were taxed $3.50 per thousand feet. A
reduction OF fifty cents was made some
months ago, and from the first of this
month the rates are to be but 5000 per
thousand. The priceis yet almost fif-
ty per cent. above what it should be.
The Senate, the other day, fixed the
price Of gas in San Francisco at $3.50

A GOOD

There are other ministers of love more
conspicuous than a good daughter. but none
IN which a gentler, lovlier spirit dwells. and
none to which the hearts warm reouitaIs
more joyfully respond. She is the steady
light OF her fathers house. Her idea is in
dlssoiubly connected with that of his happy
fireside. She is his morning sun and even
ing star. The grace, viyacity and tender
ness OF her sex having their place in the
mighty sway which she holds over his spirit.
The lessons of recorded wisdom which he
reads with her eyes come to his MIND with
a new charm, as blended with the beloved
melody of her voice. He scarcely knows
WEAKNESS which her song does not make
hlm forget, or gloom which is proof against
the young brightness of her smile. She is
the pride and ornament of his hospitality,
the gentle nurse of his sickness, and the
constant agent of those nameless number
less acts of kindness which one chiefly cares
to have rendered, because they are unpre-
tending, but expressive proofs of love-

GOLDEN

When summer suns their radiance fling,
O'er every bright and b~eauteous thing:
When, strong in faith, the evil day
OF pain and grief seems far away;
When sorrow, soon as felt, is gone,
And smooth the stream of life runs on,
When duty, cheerful, choosen, face,
Brings her own promptreward to thee
Ills easy then, my soul, to raise
The greatful song of heavenly praise.
When you see the dishonor of a thing
then it is time to renounceA it.
The most laudable ambition is to be
wise, and the greatest wisdom is to be
good.
There are two peaceful powers ; Justice
anu Fitness.
Pure appreciation of the outer and In
ner world is, on the contrary, very rare.
The greatest good fortune is that which
amends OUR imperfcction and balances our
faults.
Pride is an extravagant opinion Of our
own Worthiness; vanity is an inordinate
desire that others should share that opinion.
Speak the truth yield not to anger;
give, when asked, of the little thou hast;
by these three steps taou shalt go near the
Gods.
Nothing happens, however foolish,
which common sense and fortune NAV not
set right again but nothing reasonable can
take place that change and folly may not
again put out Of joint.
Take heed to yourself, lest you should
cry down sin and not overcome it; lest
while you seek to bring it down in others,
you bow to it and become it's slave your
self; it is easier to chile at sin than to over
come it.
"A humble heart cannot be satisfied
with just so much grace as will bring it to-
glory-with just so much of heaven as will
keep it from dropping into he'll. It is still
crying out. "Give, Lord, give; give me
more Of thyself, more of the Son, more Of
thy Spirit give me more light, more life,
more love-"
i do not know a more beautiful sight
on earth than a man who has served his
Lord for many years, and who, having
grown gray i'll service, feels thatin the order
OF nature he must soon be called home. IIs
is rejoicing in the first fruits of the Spring
which he has obtained, but he is painting
after the full harvest OF the Spirit when it is
guaranteed to him. Think I see him sit
ting Oh a jutting crag by the edge of the
Jordan, listening to the harpers on the 9TH
er side, waiting till the pitcher shall be
broken ab the fountain, and the wheel as
the c~istern, and the spirit shall depart to-
God who gave it. A wife waiting for her
husbands footsteps, a child waiting in the
darkness of the night till its mother comes
to give it the evening kiss, are portraits OF
our waiting. 1t is pleasant and a precious
thing to wait and so to hope.-Spmgeom-
