Watch Secretary Shcrmnn /.

Secretary SHERMAN's four per cent. loan.
notwithstanding his assertion to the con-
trary, is completely killed. 1t can Ice
bought in Wall street for cash at from one
to one-and-a-half per cent. below par in
gold, and on contracts for future delivery,
at one-half Of one per cent below par III
currency. The law authorizing the loan
limits the price at which II may be issued 70
par in gold, with an allowance of onc-hali Of
one per cent. for the expenses Of printing
and negotiation. II being demonstrated
that investors will not take Mt this rate the
$4,000, 600 already out, the remaining SJ3i,-
100000 yet to Dee put out evidently stand Ao
chance whatever
In this state If tho case Secretary SHER-
MANS recommendations to Congress should
he sharply watched There is every reason
to suppose that he has a pecuniary interest
in the operations Of the syndicate, which has
undertaken to market the loan, and these
profits If the loan succeeds will be between
100000 and s5,OOO,OO0. Any legislation,
therefore, which will so modify the existing
contract with the syndicate, as to enable 1t
to dispose Of the bonds yet unissued may be
suspected of being legislation for the benc-
tit of JOHN SHERAiAN's own pocket The only
fair and honest thing to do is for the syndl-
cate to surrender their contract, then TO
modify the terms OF the loan ms may be
necessary, and after this Is done, to throw
the loan open without favoritsm 10 the iinan-
cal institutions OF the country and the pub
lie generally.

DESERT GROWTHS NO.f

The Mesquite perhaps should not he cIassed among "desert growths. as it is rarely, if ever, found where its roots can not reach moisture; but as the term is applied to the entire country drained by the Colorado we shall briefly describe the vegetation ot the river bottoms. The Mesquite js true Acacia, and, like it's Ara hian kinsman, produces gum possessing the same medicinal ana other properties. The wood has a heautiful grain, eminently adap- ting it for the manufacture of fine furniture. Small shipments of it have attracted much attention from piano-makers and others, and have brought prices, that promise a good trade in this wood for tbeN future. It absolutely does not shrink at all in seasoning Many
 broken wagon fellOe has been re- p;aced, on the road, by one of green Mesquite chopped from the tree, which has subsequently, run for months without farther atten- tion. Wheels are now to be found, in perfect order, south of the Pro- vidence Range on the Mohave Desert, which were made in this country over l5 years ago, of green MeSguite. for PaImers survey of the 35th parallel, and abandoned there by his party: they occur about 40 miles south of the present road. Their condition verifies the non shrinkage of that wood. At some seasons it bears a prOfusiOn of edi- hle pods Of several inches in length, much prized for food by Indians and MeXicans of the low CT class. and greatly relished by all kinds of stock; in shape they resemble long bean-pOds; their flavor is sickish sweet. In Ari- ZOna the tree rarely attains great size, but in parts of Sonora it grows to height Ofov sixty feet, with nearly straight trunks of two or three feet diameter.

AS an illustration of the feeling of Southern Democrats to their Northern brethren about these times, a friend at the South sends us the following: "Tbe Chairman ofa Democratic central committee wrote tU prominent ex-rebel De- mocrat of Shreveport, Louisiana, talking of war. etc, and asking what help they could calculate Gn receiving from Louisiana. The reply was-'The same help you gave Us in 1861. G-d d-n you.' This embraces the general feeling down here so far as l can get at it."-AHG.

Col Horseiey, a New Hamp- shire Democrat. believed in the Compromise bill as a good Tilden investment, and after it was pass ed, he addressed a crew of his po- litical friends on the situation "Gentlemen," he exclaimed, "It i- all settled now; Tilden is elect ed beyond a doubt, and I am go- ing to give an OK for a barbecue.
