terTed to the raYages OF phylloxera IN France,
and said that at this moment, when the pro.
duction in Europe is falling off, California
steps forward as the France of America
wine, and uniting to their acknowledged
purity the delicacy and subtleness of
the best foreign productions. Certain
California wines sra already sold uader
their own brands, and vast quantity of ours
is sent to the Eastern States and sold as for
eign wine-not less than 5000 coo gallons. 1t
would be well fer Eastern health if nothing
more than the labels was changed. He re-
ferred to the French adulteration Of wines
and the prod1ct being allowed TO be exported,
but prohibited from sale for consumption in
France under severe penalties. By this fact
we should take warning, and avoid the.dys.
pepsies, Brights disease and dropsies sold
under some French brands Against such
villainous compounds he placed pure Califor.
MIA wines. Adulteration would not pay in
California.
The address was warmly applauded, and
led to an interesting debate, participated in by
numerous delegates. Many questions were
asked the orator as TO the kind of grapes
grown in California, its climate as adapted to
grape culture, and the liabilities to diseases in
the fruit, to all of which he made ready
answers.

Relief for Mrs. lincoln.
WAsHIsGToN. January 17th.-The Senate
Committee on Pensions to-day had up Sena-
tor Logan's bill for the relief of Mrs. Lin.
coin. No opposition was made to the bill,
but Senator Groone suggested that the
$780, eco be voted to her without reference to
the subject OF arrears of pension. He said
he was opposed to the system of paying ar
rears of pensions, and did not want to vote
for any bill that would in the least commit
him to the principle, though he was entirely
willing to vote to give Mrs Lincoln whatever
her necessities for comfort called for. All
the other members, including the Democrats,
favored the bill, and in fact Senator jackson,
a Democrat, moved that it be favorably re.
ported at once. Before vote was taken,
however, the hour of IL arrived, and the COM
mittee adjourned. The action this morning
indicates that favorable action will be taken
at the next meeting of the committee, when
it .is probable that Mrs. Lincoln's pension
will be increased to 5000 per year, as the
majority of the committee have expressed
themselves in favor of this increase.

that it is the Presidents intention to appoint
Sargent as Secretary Of the Interior, and the
delay is not owing to hitch in this pro-
eranme, but is for special reasons that have
their origin in the appointee himself.
