The LentcI, se-son Over.

In a dogmatic sense the Lenlen
season has just begun. Our Catho.
lie and Episcopalian fellow citizens
will recognize, with proper cere-
monials and observances, the ad-
vent of the drear and joy-debarriDg
forty odd days which will commem-
crate the passion of the Saviour.
But, dropping religion, and apply
ing ourselves to the hard, dry facts,
California has undergone q Lenten
season from which she has just
emerged. 1t was season charac-
terized by all 4 the natural drear
hab iliments of woe-a season in
which the gracious rains failed, in
which our streams, always except
ing the Los Angeles, San Gabriel
and Santa Ana rivers, failed to run,
in which the underground waters
lost the impulse of freedom from
their rock prisonment, and forgot
to bound forth to the sunlight with
their old impetus. 1t was season
in which only bottom lands and ir-
rigated lands told story of agri.
cultural outcome. Happy was 1t
for Los Angeles county that she
had such great abundance of such
lands-that her mountain environ
ment, reaching clear to the DEVILS
Slide, in Utah, guarantees her an
unfailing percolation of the regen-
Grating waters! We endured the
ordeal in thorough manner, as
our unfailing water sources will en-
able us to endure the next, which
will come, mayhap, six or seven
years from now. But the Easter
season this year, which will com
memorate Christ's deliverance from
the tomb, will also commemorate
the deliverance of California from
great peril. One more veal
of drouth would have shaken US
to our center. Only once, since
the Am erican occupation, have we
had two years Of drouth in success
sion, in California. We have es-
capped that calamity this year. We
have never yet had dealt out to us
the dismal dispensation of Egypt
in the days of Joseph, of seven fat
years followed by seven lean ones.
One in seven, with the exception
we have noted, is the extreme OF
disaster to which we are subject In
California. We are learning O
wisdom which will leave this dis
pensation not u disaster but
profit, owing to our splendid irri
eating facilities, before the mex
comes, because we are developing
our water. 1t is all this which
leads us to say that, while the in
dividual may be penitential and
rebuked during the present season,
the section itself should be joyful
because it has emerged from its
Lenten ordeal.

WE publish in our local columns
the text of the bill introduced by
Col. Smith in regard to Whining
ton Harbor, about which so much
ado has been made. 1t will be
seen that the provisions of this
bill are regardful, to punctiiio, OF
the peoples right to the water
front at Wilmington. There has
really been no earthly cause for
anxiety, and Col. Smith is proving
himself vigilant friend of our in
terests in every respect.

CONGREssIONAL.

WASHINGTON, March 18TH
HOUSE-After the introduction
and reference of a few bills the
House went into Committee of the
Whole, Cox in the Chair, on the
diplomatic appropriation bill. The
Committee having proceeded to the
consideration of the bill by sec.
tions, Hale moved to increase the
salaries of the Ministers to Great
Britain, France, Germany and
Russia to $17,5O0, instead of SIS, ,OO(
az contemplated by the bill.
After considerable debate, Rea.
gan, by unanimous consent, made
an explanation on the subject of the
proposed payment to mail route
contractors in the Confederate
States for services rendered before
the war and had read an extract
from his first report as Postmaster.
General of the Confederacy. The
object of the reading was to show
that he had been correct in stating
that he had,a as Postmaster-G General,
directed mail contractors to con.
tinue the service under their con.
tract with the United States, and
directed Postmasters to turn ovel
their postage stamps and money to
the United States before control OF
the service was assumed by the
Confederacy. He confessed to hav.
ing forgotten subsequent legisla.
ton on the subject. He hoped the
House would not consider that he
had been dealing unfairly or disln-
genuousiy with it.
Conger replied to Reagan. He
disclaimed any intention to reflect
upon him and in the matter of the
bill to pay Southern mail contract
ors, that gentleman had contra
dicted the statement which he
(Conger) had made as to these con-
tracts having been paid by the
Confederate Government. He (Con-
ger) had met him and overthrown
him with his own proclamation.
The gentleman from Texas had
also denied that these contractors
had been paid by the Confederate
Government, but Willets proved
that they had been. He did not
wish to say anything personal
about the gentleman from Texas.
He accepted his explanation for
whatever that gentleman might
consider it worth. Still the charge
unanswered. Gentle
men on the other side who were
with the legislation OF the
Confederate Congress and who
must have known that over $780,
900 had been appropriated by that
Congress to pay these contractors,
were silent upon that fact.
Douglas at this point roso to ask
D question of Conger. Conger de-
,lined to yield for that purpose,
out Douglas persisted and refused
% taxa his seat, as required by the
Proceedings were thus
until Wood, Of New
York, raised the question of order
hat the whole discussion was ir.
relevant to the bill before the COM
nittee and therefore out of order
The Chairman sustained the point.
Conger then moved q formal
to the bill and pro-
'eedsd again to discuss the ques-
ion of Southern mail contractors,

Parade Of the G, l., I.

The Gordon Light Infantry pa
raded in full uniform on Thursday
afternoon, Capt. w. G. Jordan in
command. There were about forty
men, rank and file. The evolutions
of the company were exceedingly
creditable, and speak we'll for the
efficiency of the officers as drill
masters and the zeal and attention
of the men. In marching in column
of fours or in column of platoons,
the alignment WIS perfectly main
tanned, and the wheels wore all fine
ly executed. Pechlps the best evi-
dence of the proficiency Of the COM
pany is found in the ease and accu-
racy with which oblique movements
were executed. When marching in
column of fours, the great difficulty
i'll oblsque movements is in main
tanning tho company alignment and
the parallelism of the fours. Tho
Gorlons have completely overcome
this trouble, and nil their oblique
movements are executed in manner
that would reflect credit upon old
soldiers
Tie uniform Of the company is as
follows Dress coat of dark blue
cloth, with light b.ue and gold
trimmings, three rows of palmetto
; buttons n the breast, and others
o:namenting the skirt, collar and
sleeves. P..nts of t:le same material
and color, with styipo of light blue
cloth, one inch in wiiln, down
tae leg. Cap OF tho pattern woln
by th United States infantry, with
white pompon, black trimmings, and
brass crossed rifles in front, with
the letters &c. L T. in silver. The
commissioned officers wear a blue
trock coat, double-breasted, with
two rows of buttons and gold
trimmings. The epaulettes are of
gold, graduated in size according to
the rank of the officer. The
officers caps are of u pattern similar
to the privates', with gold trimmings
and flowing white plume. AL
together, the uniform is a very
handsome one, and the Gordons
have shown good taste in their
selection. The entire outfit was
furnished by Messrs. Stryker & Co.,
43l Broome St., New York, and
speaks we'll both for the facilities
Of the house and for their fidelity
in carrying out their contracts.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
the Gordon Light Infantry have no
arms. Having been at much pains
in getting up their organization and
at considerable trouble and expense
in procuring their uniforms, it is
specially important that the State
should furnish the company with
the necessary complement of arms
and equipments. We sincerely
trust this may soon be done Q.
