Mr. William C. Jones, who was sent to
Cali fornit: to inquire into the cbtidiiioii ofilie
Land Titlés in lhtit éoftnlry, has made his
report to the Department of the Interior.-
He concludes that the grants are more per-
fect tiiles—that is, that holders possess their‘
property by titles that, under the law which
created them, are equivalent to patents from
our government. He thinks the state of, the
land titles willallow the public lands to be
ascertained, and theprivate lands to be set
apart, by 'udicious measures, with little dif-_
ficulty. he is of tire npiiiiori that the rights
of the government will be fully secured, and
the interests and perrnaiieiit pl"0'Snel‘lT_y of
all classes in that country be best consult-
ed, by no other general measure ‘in relation
to private property, than an authorized sur-
vey, a“c"cord't'ng to the grants, vvhcr'e the graiiis
are iiiod'e'ijii, or since the accession of the
Nleiticziri Government, reserving the overplus
or according in ancient pOS§'€‘SSIOn, where it
dates from the time of the Spanish Govern-
ment, and the written evidence of the
grant is lost, or does not afford data forthe
survey.
All Abaclc.-—l'-Vc learn from the liiartford
Courarit, that his Excellency Governor Soy’-
mour has vetoed the re's'oll.lrion to be so initi-
ted to the people in April next, upon the bare
qttcstion—-
“Shall the traflic in intoxicating liquor
as a beverage be prohibitexd in this State un-
der suitable penalties to restrain the saute?”
That is he never signed it, but let it di‘ea

What will Mrs. Gr-uriday say nevi Cl, What
has become of the the boast of the Fountain
with regard to the rj/7.r.a.cy of politicial tem-
peiance agitation? }_ia.dihe question been
kept clear of the political field, it is our
opiniori the naked question would never
have met opposition—-and ere this the vote
would have been stibtiiitled to the decision of
the electors, by a healthy majority of the
Legislature. in the me-tiiitirne we heartily-
censhre the masterly inzlctivity of the gov-
ernor in this initiative, and hold him respon-.
sible for defeating the will of the people as
expressed by their‘ rcpi'csetitatives. We
are ready to meet the question not-.r—a!i'd de-
prcczite this eteriiril agitation ‘on so simple,
yet important 3 niattei'—growih‘g worse ev-
ery year that it is neglected. A magistrate
who is afraid to trust the people upon a pop-
'ulur‘v‘ole, has a diffci'ent idea of democracy-,

Baltinierc Patriot publishes the following
recipe for these distressing (‘omplaints and
strongly reconitnends a trial of it:-'
One pint of r.-lcaii bats, to be browned the
same as coffee, but not to be ground; put in
a clean vessel,- with two quarts of Water;
then simmered over the fire until reduced to
one quart; when cool rlecantit off. Dose for

A: late writer in the Cultivator says
that whether scythcs hold their edge well
depends altogether on wlie,i'i'ic-.r the man

mcr will be compelled “to stop and shzrrpen”

Quite a rich scene took place last week at

morning at 9 o’clock, attended by her ladies
and gentlemen in waiting, to personally, iris-
pect each depar~tn_ient, and to receive inform-
atibh frbm tliose.scvei‘ally in charge; conse-
quently there ‘was quite a gatliering from the
west end, of no‘bl'cs ‘and “cr'ti'.':ens~. Aftc'r it
time, the Queen arrived at the be,aiitif‘til fan-
cy soap stand from Philarlelpliiri, at caih
great corner of which, stand in bold relgef,
rhe busts of VVashington and Taylor, with
an inscription on the head ofeach,viz 2 “This
isall solid soap.” ‘The Queen seemed to
doubt the fact as a Yankee catch, and sud-
denly taking a gold pin from her dress, was
about testing the fact, by running the pin -in
to the head of Vlfashington-, when the Phila-
dclphiau-, seeing her object, placed his" hand
hetweizn the pin and bust, and with gravity
and with a polite bend ofthe body, observed
—-"iris the bust ‘(if General VVashington,

The next moraine: an order came from Brick‘-

Another scene equally i‘i'chliapp'§3b'ed
that morning. After the Queen and Court
had examined the g’l‘t.-‘Hi. variety of Ainericaii
gr'aii1,z‘.l’id expressed her surprise at the cbrn

could, but the Prince ttirnedto give ‘vent to a
smile, while the Dutchess of S. with the
other ladies in waiting, dropped their veils
and placed their ' lirindkercliiefs to cover

were made. “ Why, sir,” ahswercd onu-

Pay 3/rirétr P0sfd.gc.——Every one should
paypostage in advance. The rate is -so‘
small that lhere no excuse for lumliering
the mails with unpaid letters. it is due to
the great experiment of cheap postage, in
the success of which the whole country has
an interest, that it should be tried under the
most favorable circumstances. The general
pre payment of postage will enable the db-
partment to dispense with a great part of
the labor which will otherwise be required.
