bill repeating the resumption act.
The equivalency of gold and green
backs was FASTENED by the passage
of the silver bill. Should the bill
reported by the Finance Commit
tee pass it would give the country
$3.50, 100000. 1t wonld restore
commercial confidence and make
this people the bondholders. He
didn't anticipate any scarcity of
gold and believed that gold aud
paper would be at par by July LIST.
He said New York city did not
possess all the wisdom of the coun-
try in finance matters.
Voorhees, read a lengthy argu.
ment in favor of repeating the re-
sumption act. He recited the woes
inflicted by the act, referred to the
gold room as mob of gamblers
and said the government could not
redeem fifty millions with gold on
a weeks notice from to-day. He
favored an amendment compelling
the Secretary of the Treasury to ac-
cept Immediately United States
notes for import duties. He said
farmers had gloomy future who
must pay mortgages on their farms
in coin. Congress ought to legis-
late so as to secure the farmer his
home, the mechanic living wages
and not lecture the poor man, who
worked from dawn to dark, on
economy. Those who favored re-
sumption fostered communism.
Nothing would be hailed with so
much joy as the repeal of the re-
sumption act. 1t would restore
tranquility and bring happiness.
The Senate Commerce Commit
tee to-day reported adversely on
the bill INTRODUCED by Senator Hoar
authorizing the Baptist Associa-
ton of Puget Sound to own and
navigate vessel of less than fif-
teen tons burden without being
subject to the general navigation
laws.
HoUsE.-During the considera-
ton of the general appropriation
bill to-day, Representative Page
moved to increase the item fol
clerks in the office of the Surveyor
General of California from $4,000
to $4,000, and made brief argu'
ment in support of his amendment.
Wigginton offered an amend
ment providing that after next
month all United States Surveyor
Generals offices should be abol-
ished and their archives turned
over to the respective States and
Territories, and that the necessary
surveys should thereafter be made
by engineers permanently en-
ployed by the Interior Department
He expressed the opinion tina,
these Offices are utterly useless tc
the government and against tho
interests of settlers.

THE Santa Barbara Press of
Monday last comes to us with some
petulant remarks about the editor
of the HERALD, because we repro
duced, in purely jocular vein, a
passage from the letter of q cores
pondent of the San Francisco Post
entitled "Nordhoff's Morgue."
With q dlsingenuousness which
does the editor of the Press no cred
it, he undertakes TO dlstort our
mere reproduction of this squib,
which was intended solely to see
what mettle might be developed
in the journalists of Santa Barba-
ra, into malevolence towards that
pretty town, of which, by the way,
we have never written word OF
disparagement. We may add that
we have yet to write the first i'll
natured paragraph Of any portion
of Southern California. If the ed
itor of the Press takes any conf
fort from provincial and lima
tured perversion of our attitude he
is welcome to it. His spleen dom t
do us any harm, and it may do him
o power of good, for aught we
know.

Particulars OF w. y. O'Bricn's
Death.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 2d.-A dis
patch from San Rafael says that at
6 o'clock this morning w. s.
O'Brien began failing rapidly un.
til the hour of his death-2:40 p. NJ.
when he passed away suddenly
and peacefully, retaining his facul-
ties to the last. Mr.. Flood was
summoned to his friend and part
ner's bedside early this merning,
going over on the $40 boat. Dr.
Hubbard was in attendance, and
Con O'Connor and the deceased's
relatives were also present. Col.
Fair, who has returned to the city
from Paso Roblss, had intended to
go over to-day, but at the time of
Mr.. O'Brien's death was still here.
The time for the funeral has not
yet been fixed, but 1t is supposed
that Sunday will be designated.
Deceased had recently erected
handsome mausoleum in the Cath
Ollie Calvary Cemetery, where his
remains will be deposited. AT the
time when the division of the prop
erty of the firm was made, about q
year and a half ago, the mining
stock business of the firm was ex-
cepted, and that still remains in
common, under the management
of Mr.. Flood. The arrangements
between the members are such
that the death of Mr.. OBrien will
have no effect whatever on the
business affairs of the house, which
go on as usual without Interrupt
ton. 1t is known that Mr.. O'Brien
recently made will, but its con-
tents are yet unknown, though 1t
Is reported that his partners are
made executors and that the bulk

together. The industry is merely
In its infancy, and the first strug-
Cling efforts of our vignerons
should be encouraged. The legis-
lator has the satisfaction of know
ing that none of the money derived
from o high tariff on wines and
brandies would come out of the
pockets of the very poor. In the
last thirty years California has con-
tributed, from her mines, probably
q billion and o half Of hard minted
dollars to the channels of commerce
in the United States, and she is
certainly entitled to cordial rec
ignition.

now be dazed at witnessing here a

grapes to the acre. or couise, we
have not yet organized this indus
try. The capital and the protection
needed have both been wanting.
Mr.. Wigginton can commend
himself to what is probably now,
and will be more emphatically in
the future, the Vineyard State of
the Union, by obtaining the larg-
est possible measure of protection
for our struggling vignerons. In
doing so he will have the satisfac'
ton of knowing that he is not
contributing to the burdens of the
poor, as he would be doing if he
seconded the cormorant demands
of the manufacturers of Pennsyl-
vania and New England.
