To our Customers and Corrupondm ta .-
The surprising development of our national re-
sources and the rapidity with which the government
is now enabled to reduce the national debt, by Week-
ly purchases, render it apparent that the time is
approaching when the Five-Twenty bonds m; be
funded at not over four or four and a half per cut.
interest.
Meanwhile their high price, as compared with
other classes of securities paying an equal rate of
interest, is leading to general inquiry for more p'rof-
itable forms of investment in which money may be
safely invested.
1
During the war the necessities and peril of the
government, and the consequent Cheapness of its
securities. rendered them so attractlve that, from
this cause, combined with the patriotic faith of the
people in their safety, they absorbed almost the en.
tire floating capital of the country. and diverged
attention flom other'classes of securities which had
before been deemed 'sufilclontly conservative and
sound to meet the wants of the most cautious in-
vestors. ' .
The government is no longer a borrower. It no
longer needs the country’s capital, but desires grate.
fully and honorably to repay it.
The rapid accumulation of capital for investment,
and the reduction of the national debt and improve-
ment of the national credit—rendering if. certain
that hereafter but a comparatively low rate of in-
terest can be derived from investment in government
bonds—is compelling the search for other safe and.
well-guarded channels into which capital not em-
ployed in business may wisely flow.
The enterprise of 'Peace. no loss necdful in their
time and place for the common welfare. than were
the waste and cost of War, now call for the capital
which the government no longer needs: and offer for
its use a remuneration which the government need
no longer pay, and in some cases, a security as
stable and enduring as the faith of the nation itself.
The desire to capitalize the premiums which may
now be reilized upon Five-Twenty bonds. and
whicha material decline in Gold toward par, and
the ability of Government to fund them at a lower
tf26 rate of interest, may-at any time extinguish. is felt
by many holders who desire some satisfactory as-
surance as to which of the many lower-priced sc-
curltics In the market would afl'ord the
safety to justify an exchange. -
necessary
The applications for Information and advice which
are addressed to us daily, show how universal is
the desire for this assurance, as to what forms of
investment more profitable than Government secu-
rities at present market rates, are entitled to the
confidence of investors.
The pressure of this want has led us to feel the
importance of directing our own attention as bank-

OF CALIFORNIA.
The Western Pacific Rail Road connecting Sac-
ramento with San Francisco, furnishes the final
link in the extraordinary fact of an unbroken line of
rail from the shore of the Atlantic to that of the
Pacific.
It is 150 miles in length, including a short branch,
and it will be the

of the rich and growing State of California. re-

and Central Pacific Railroads—between'the Eastern
States and Sacramento.
It is completed, fully equipped, and in successful
operation, audits earnings in October, the first full
month, amounted to $106,000 in coin. _ The not earn.
lugs will. by 9 moderate estimate, amount to $600,000

will be but £168,000.

less than k

$2,800,000.

EDITORIAL LETTER.
In'and About California.
On reaching Sacramento the first archi-
tectural structures that greet the eye are the
State Capitol building, as yet unfinished, the
C. P. Hospital Building and work-shops, and
the nearly finished dwelling house of Supt.
“Charley Crocker,” the finest private resi-
dence on the Pacific coast. The State Cap-
itol has already cost about a million and a
quarter in gold and a half million more is
(of course) needed to complete the edifice.
It is an imposing building externally, but.
would not inspire one with ’much delight
who was at all interested in correct archi-
tecture ,and mechanical: proportion. The
Railroad Company’s Car Works, Engine
Houses, and Machine Shops cover an area
of nearly twmfy acres, and while not spe-
cially ornamental are full of interest_as the
foster-hives of the great continental railway.
The Hospital erected and maintained by the
Company is for the use ofdisabled employees,
but in event of any disaster, like that at
Oakland, may prove of incalculablc value
to any requiring surgical care. The beautiful
edifice being erected by Mr. Crocker, of the C.
P. road, is a. large French roof edifice, some-
what aftcr the style and character of Nat.
Baldwin’s, Esq.,utMilfqrd in our State. It is
“I thing of beauty” and we trust as a home,
may be “ a joy. forever" to himself and fam-
ily. It is conceded to be the most beautiful
and best residence in California. Mr. Crocker-
will be rememblre'd by some of our readers
as a‘ business partner of our own James
Judson. deceased. There are several flour
and timber mills, a beef: sugar mill, several
foundries and steambOat, machine and bu-
gine foundries. A large woolen mill, where
the finest flanncls and the most gorgcohs
white bed blankets we ever saw anywhere,
are manufactured by Chinese labor cxclu-.
sively, was of special interest to our ‘party,
and purchased specimens of their handi-
work to follow us home were among .the
penalties of our visit to these exceedingly
interesting Works. And now a sad and
painful interest appends. At the very mo-
ment of our present writing, the arrival of
3 Sacramento paper furnishes us the sad
news that C. A. Peake, Esq.. the General
Agent of this mill, 3 man of nature, and
whose hospitalities and kindness we shared
while-in Sacramento, was last week thrown
from an omnibus and killed in the streets ‘of
that city.
Sacramento has, as a city. exhibited the
most astonishing enterprise in the matter of
fl ing in, of any in the American Union, and
set an example to the submerged denizens
of New Orleans of what' public spirit and'
deter‘minstion will accomplish, and on a.
smaller scale to ourselves with reference to
our harbor. The operations. of thousands
of miners have resulted in such a filling up
of the river, as that twice or three times the
city has been nearly destroyed by .innnda-
tions. To guard against the recurrence of
such disaster they have raised the grade of
the city‘tcn feet! Nothing in the way of
“ removing mountains" seems to set back
or discourage a. Californian.
There are four railroads having their ter-
minus here, and as _a city of retail trade
seems far more active and lively than “Fris-
co." The“: are flve churches and schools
and numerous well-conducted and well-
supportcd newspapers ,to evidence the char-
acter of its citizens.
A rapid ride of fifty miles over the West--.
ern PaCific through a rich agricultural coun-
try, of leVel. wheat lands, brings us to
Stockton. This city presents the same wide-
awake intensely energetic characteristics
of other California cities. One of the prin-
cipal objects of interest is the large State In-
sane. Asylum, in full view of the cars.
Here there are over one thousand inmates,
about three-quarters of whom are men in
the prime of life. A sad and pitiable com-
mentary on disappointed hopes, crushed
aspirations and ruined fortunes, born of in-
temperate living and the intense “making
haste to be rich.” We saw nothing in all
Califoruiu,'_so sadly impressive as this asy-
lum for the insane.
Stockton has about ten thousand popu-
lation and is the t‘basc of supplies” for a
vast mining and wheat growing country;
Its wheat crop exported last year amounted
' sauces and obstructions to be removed there-
tle prejudiced, as soon as we were shown to
our comfortable and spacious quarters, (so-
cured days ahead' by telegraph) and were an
eye witness to scores upon scores of Odd
Fellows'and other cxcursionists,‘being forced
to leave the House at near midnight io seek
quarters elsewhere, because every nook and
corner in that vast Hotel were full, we at
once began to feel at “ peace with all the.
world and the rest of mankind,” as General
Taylor innocently observed in his message,
and here comfortably, yea, 'sumptuously
domiciled at the Lick House, we will again
bid the reader adieu till another day. B.

SEC. 1. It shall be the duty of the Street
Inspector to observe the condilion of Streets,
Highways, and Public Grounds in the Bor-
ough and to notify the Court of Burgesses
from time to time, in writing, of the estIma-
ted expense of keeping such Streets, High-
ways and Public grounds properly cleaned,
and repaired, and said Inspector shall cause
the same to be kept so cleaned and repaired,
at an expense not exceeding the limit of ap-
propriation therefor which may have been
made by the Court of Burgesses, and shall

SEC. 2. The Street Inspector shall not
have authority to let by contract the cue-
ral repair of any Street, Highway or ub-

the Court of Burgesses, and said Court shall
audit all bills for work done ’on the Streets,

SEC. 3. The Street Inspector shall cause
all Streets, Highways and Public Grounds
in the Borough to be kept free from nuisance
and obstruction and shall cause all nui-
fi'omlat the expense of the person or persons
to nearly three millions in gold. It is now
connected by rail with Sacramento and
Frisco as well as by steamer on the San
Joaquin. This is the starting point also for
the Big Trees, Mariposa Grove and Y0
Semite Valley. and hundreds of tourists
have kept the place lively by their comings
and goings, since the completion of the Pa-
cific Road. The distance to the Yo Semite
is 109 miles. Fare $20 gold and about $75
for “extras.” Eighty-four miles of this ride
is by old-fashioned Concord Stage Coach
and twenty-five miles by horse or mule-back.
Another year this will be improved both in
cost and comfort of travelling, when ,thou-
sands of tourists from all parts of the wide
world, will flock to see the awful grandeur
of nature in its wildest aspects, With granite
walls rising almost perpendicularly 5000
feet. . '
From Stockton we soon leave our South-
swamp marshesof- the Joaquin, and glide
due West to Oakland, the Jersey City
Frisco. This is the" terminus of the rozid‘I
and is a most charming little hamlet, where
the climate is delightful and where the
wealth and culture of “Frisco" seem to have
domiciled. Mrs. White, who so long and
successfully conducted a young ladies’
school withhs, is a resident of Oakland. and
although enthusiastic over do attractions,
we thought we could yet discover an inner
yearning for the beauties and attractions of
old Norwalk, “loveliest village of the plain}!
Our trans-shipment'fi'om the cars to the
Ferry-boat, was at about nine o’clock in the
evening and our first view was when the
full .orbed moon shone with such brightness
that we could read our newspapers on deck
by its reflected light. The bay was smooth
and every ripple seemed awave of brightest
molten silver, almost dazzling the enrap
lured eye as we gazed out over its swaying
lines. The lights of “ Frisco" on the oppo-
site side, only gave a golden gleam , to the
enchanting picture and brought back with
more than the imaginary brightness, our
childish dreams of Fairy Land. The dock
reached at Frisco and we were at once u-
saultcd with a more importunate, impudent.
louder-voiced army of Hackmen than even
Niagara Falls can boast. We soon learned
the secret cause of their really terrifying
strife to seize strangers and take them in-to
their vehicles. The City ordinance allows
them fire dollars in gold for transporting
you fifty rods to a Hotel. Had they. been
allowed ten dollars, we verily believe there
would not have been a bone left in our body.
Certain ,it is. we should never have lived to
give them this first-class “ notice.” At
length we found a driver who modestly con-.
fesscd that his coach was from and for the
causing the same or suffering the same to
remain, and upon neglect or refusal of such
persou'or persons to pay such expense. the
said Street Inspector shall apply to the War-
den to issue a warrant 'for the collection
lhcrepf.
SEC. 4. The Court of Burgesses, whenever
applied to by any person who is about to
erect a. building on the line of any Street In
the Borough, or to pave the sidewalk or.
curb and pave the gutter in front. of his
premises, shall, if not already done, desig-
nate as soon thereafter as convenient, by
vote, the‘liue and grade of the sidewalk and
gutter of said Street, or so much thereof as
may be necessary for the guidance of such
appliéant. And said Court shall upon sim-
ilar application designate, by vote, the line
upon which trees or hitch-posts may be set
out on any Street or public ground or make
such regulations forbidding, or allowing the
same cenditionally as said Court may deem
expedient. ,Such lines, grades and regula-
tions shall {be at all times subject to revision
and alteration :by said Court.
