Whereas, We have every reason

by the Democratic leaders of the

The PresIdent,s SALARY.

Arguing against the reduction of the
Presidential salary, Burleigh writes in
the Boston Journal as follows: "Washing-
ton exacted the most rigid economy at
home that he might serve his country and
not impair his private fortune. Jeffer-
son was well off when he went into pub
lie life. He Inherited 1900 acres, which
he increased to 5000. His income, indie
pendent of his farm revenue, was $4,000 a
year. His wife's dowry was $4,000 in
cash. Had he left public life alone and
attended to his estate he would have been
a rich man. His public career closed in
1909. For nineteen years he was absent
from Monticello, and seven of these years
were passed abroad. He returned to find
his estate ruined, his property squan-
dered, his fortune scattered. All at
tempts to retrieve his fortune were in vain. .
He was adjudged bankrupt. New York
city sent him a donation of $500, and
other cities were alike generous. Jack
son had style of his own. Like good
soldier he lived within his income. At
the Rip RapS in the summer, in a low
farm house, coat off, feet in slippers, chair
tipped back, cob pipe in his mouth, he
gave audience to ambassadors. Van Bu-
rem had a private fortune of his own
Pierce, by rigid economy, carried $50, ,OOO
out of the White House. No clerk in the
custom house lives in as economical style
as did the bachelor President, James Bu-
chanan.'

southern PaciFic Rallroad.
PHYSICIAN.

The San Francisco Real Estate Circular
says that work Oh the Southern Pacific
Railroad continues to be pushed with an
undiminished force. The unusual and
long continued rains rendered progress
difficult, except in the tunnels, nine of
which are now complete, and work in all
the others is going on well. The long
tunnel, under the San Fernando noun
tain, is finished for 440S feet, leaving
2542 feet to be taken out. At the rate of
"a feet per day (being feet on each of
the six faces), it will require until about
the first of July to complete the work.
This being the measure of progress on
the line between San Francisco and Los
Angeles, communication by rail between
the two cities may reasonably be expect
ed in July next. On the line from and
south of Los Angeles, to the crossing of
the Colorado river at Fort Yuma, the
grade is compile for 150 miles; the track
is laid for 134 miles, and is in regular OPP
Grafton to HSeven Palms" where daily
four horse stage connects to Prescott,
Tocson, and all points in Arizona. As
the track extends to available points for
stage and water stations, staging is being
shortened. The time is not distant-it
will certainly be within the year 1876
when travellers may go from San Francis
CO to Fort Yuma, by way of Los Angeles,
in 36 hours, all the way by rail.--Ansri-
can Railroad Journal.

A Washington special of the 4th to the
New York Tribune, says: Coin is being
rapidly accumulated at the Treasury, in
anticipation of the retirement of the frae-
tional currency. This morning, $500, 900
in silver was received from San Francis
co-$200, 600 in dimes, and 800, 900 in
quarters is expected tomorrow or next
day, which will complete the present or
der, which is for five hundred thousand
dollars. The weighing of this last sup
ply is going on at the Treasury to-day,
and it will be stored in the vaults at once.
The vaults were examined yesterday by
Supervising Architect Potter as to their
capacity, and he expressed the opinion
that there is capacity for the $500, 900 by
storing the coin in the upper and lower
vaults. Both vaults are to be strength
ened at once, however, as there is neces-
sity for still more coin, and orders will be
forwarded to San Francisco for additional
supplies. The manager of the Virginia
Consolidated Mining Company reports
the product of that mine for March as
being over $3,600,000 The crushing of
ore from the California mine will begin
tomorrow. The regular coinage state
ment of the mint for the month of March
makes the following showing:
Gold, s., 500, ,480; trade dollars, $791 600;
subsidiary silver coin, 81 ,03s, ,2IO; cents
$14 200; total coinage, 81, ,543, $3.50.

previous week, and the quality generally
good, including number of dairy cows
and some coarse heavy oxen. The mar
ket during the week ruled rather quiet,
butchers being the principal buyers; feed
ers taking very few, shippers also. The
latter were not paying any better rates
than was being offered by the butchers.
There was not so fine top to the offer
ings this as last week. The receipts to-
day were greater than those of all the
week put together. The quality was gem
orally good, including dairy cows and
coarse, heavy oxen. Notwithstanding
the liberal receipts, the market was ae-
| tive for all kinds, with quite an improve
ment in the demand from butchers. Ship
pers and feeders bought more sparingly.
The markat continued firm, and, to the
close, there were about l25 head left over
unsold. Prices ranged as follows: Com
mon, &c to SIG; fair to medium, 33Ic to
41ac, and good to extra qualities, 415c to

| follows: Common to fair qualities, 500 to
$50, fair to good, $35 to $45 per head. and
a few extra at $50 to $50. Veal calves
The demand has been good, and not suffl-
/ cient TO absorb the receipts, which were
quite liberal, and caused lower prices, the
range being as follows: Common and
heavy, 31ac to ~ fair to good light, sc
to 61ac; few extra at &c.
Hogs-Receipts rather more liberal this
than last week, but not so heavy as the
week previous. The quality was mostly
