ington would inevitably have fallen into
the hands OF the confederates, and per-
hAps the triumph Of the rebellion would
have followed. During the crucial days
when Early was marching upon Wash
ington the whole country was seized
with panic, and gold reached the high
est point it ever attained during the
war. Lincoln and his cabinet had
packed up and were ready to abandon
the capital, and nothing but the un-
accountable dilatoriness of Early saved
the country from what might have
proved one Of the most irreparable
disasters of the whole war of the re-
bellion. General Longstreet's hard
criticism may not have been timely, but
it was just.

arrived at Folsom prison he was treated
in way that will soon bring him to a
consciousness of his position. The
guards were ordered to hold no COM
munication with him, and he was at
once detailed to suitable work. No
privileges whatever were given him, but
he was made to take his place in the
ranks as a common convict. He doubt
less went there with the idea that his
fame would work to his benefit. But
he has found that he has to toe the
mark just like the other prisoners. and
doubtless begins to realize that the way

houses has been so great that persons

INDIA AND SILVER,

They seem to be having circus in
currency matters in India, growing out
of the closing of mints to silver eight
months ago.
The London Times of February 10th
says "the condition Of the India money
market is said to be rapidly approach
ing panic. The newspapers severely
criticize the policy of the government. 1"
And then it quotes lively extracts from
several India journals. The English
man says that the government, by &C
cumulating over ten crores of rupees Ia

the normal treasury balances, has raised
the bank rate from to 9per cent, while

GENERAL LoNGsTREET's criticism OF

capital, and could have marched into
the city and taken it, but he delayed
one day. and that day was fatal to his
expedition. On Sunday the deienses
around Washington were manned by
clerks and civilians, General Hancock
had been cent for in haste, and on
Monday he rushed into Washington
with his corps and took possession
of the city. Early was soon ap-
priced by the precision of the
firing from the forts that the
capital WAS no longer trusting to civili-
sns and clerks for it's defense, but that
veteran troops had taken their places,

the sale OF council drafts has caused
such profound distrust that people are
hurrying to get their money out OF the
country ON any terms.
The India Daily News describes the
action OF the secretary OF state as Grass
ineptitude, and says that if some
definite policy be not soon announced
there will be Q rough awakening for the
authorities at Whitehall.
The Madras Mail says it is high time
that the sale OF council bills should be
taken away from such an effete body as
the India council, and that it would be
well for India to manage her own re-
mittances when so much bungling goes
on at home.
The India Currency association has
also addressed strong complaints to the
government because of the general
financial chaos which prevails through
out the great Indian empire.
The "silver question" is coming home
to England with increasing force through

ognizes this. The closing of the Indian
mints to silver has created confusion in
the exchanges. disorganized trade, and
produced results, some Of them Of far
reaching nature, that were wholly un-
expected; especially is this true with
the balance of trade hitherto in favor of
India, two-fifths of which have been
derived from her trade with ailvsr-using
countries further east. "The export
business from India to those countries"
says the Times, 'hAs been thrown out
out Of gear and to some extent psrma-
nsntly injured" THE history of Indian
trade during the last eight months dis
closes difficulties in the way of success
iof the currency experiments in that
country, which the government failed
to foresee, and the full gravity Of which
no one is yet able to gauge" And the
situation there is going TO get worse
instead of better.

ASSESSMENT OF BIG RANCHES.

Large landed estates are 9 detriment
to any country. AS a general thing
they are but lit.le better than 30 much
waste land. In Great Britain they are
called preserves, or hunting grounds,
and are kept for the pleasure of some
individual. Many thousands OF acres
are sometimes thus preserved exclu-
sively for one man, which, if properly
used, might supply the necessities of
hundreds OF families. The pleasure of
one person is made in that way of more
consequence than the vital wants of
thousands of his fellow-beings. This.
surely. cannot be evidsnce of the high
est civilization.
In this country large Spanish and
Mexican grants oper ate in a similar
way. In many instances they are held
by their owners for no useful purpose
whatever, but apparently for the mere
wsntonness of holding, or for the en-
hancement of their value by the prog
ress of improvement about them, which
increase of value is effected in spite of
on his part.
The constitution OF the state was in
tended to operate in some measure
against these large land holdings. 1t
distinctly and in terms provides that
Cultivated and uncultivated land of the
same quality and similarly situated
shall be assessed at the same value" If
this injunction we're observed by the
assessors throughout the state it would
60 far to obviate the great evil of waste
lands. but it is disregarded by moAt of
the assessors and their deputies when
they come to value estates. The land
in the large ranches escapes most of the
burden of taxation by the simple pro-
cess of neglect in cultivation, while the
small farm is overtsxed for precisely the
opposite reason. In other phrase, the
industry of theone is punished by unjust
taxation, while the neglect of the other
is rewarded by release from its share of
public burdens. The equality and
situation" of the land that she coRstitu-
tion alludes to, is usually disregafded by
the assessor or his supple deputy, and
its improvement alone is considered.
A small hillside and rocky farm, we'll
cultivated, is valued for taxes at more
per acre than rich bottom land within
the borders of neighboring Spanish
grant. The large ranch owner would
seem to have persuasive powers that
the small farmer cannot command, and
the result is that these broad acres of
waste land, though in the midst of
what should be most prosperous COM
munity, escape their proper obligations
to the public.
AS rule the best lands are found
within the boundaries of these grants.
The owners invariably exercised their
discretion in causing the surveys to in
clude the cholsest lands of the neigh
borhood, but this fact is seldom if
ever remembered by the assessor, and
the country will never be rid of these
public nuisances until assessor are
nominated and elected who will pay
some regard to the constitution of the
state. Los Angeles county is especially
accursed by these large land holdings.
If they had been divided up into small
farms years ago, We should now have
had much larger population, more
schools, more churches, more homes,
better roads and more public improve.
