THE WATER INQUIRY.
The Trustees this morning at their ad
journed session should call upon a citizens'
committee or upon officials to make the
inquiry suggested regarding the water
question. It is no more than the light of
■ the people that they should have the facts
collected for and reported to the Board.
This inquiry involves no cost, and can be
made at no time so satisfactorily as at the
• present, in the midst of the dry season.
All the reasons for such an inquiry, and
the value of the report to be made, have
been very clearly given in the Record-
I'mci.n', and no' personal beliefs or dog
matic theories should be permitted to
stand between the demand and the truth.
If a committee is named it can ascertain
all the facts at a small sacrifice of time.
In passing, it may be remarked that
the contemporary whose position we yes
terday reviewed ha? . finally awakened
to a realization of the universal desire of
the people and the entire justice of their
demands. It says : " Let the water agi
" tation continue. Good will come of it.
"Only save us from the brackish water of
" the plains. But if really good, pure and
"clear water can be had without linaii
" cially swamping the city, let us have it."
No one wants ■ brackish plains-water; no
one wants to swamp the city financially ;
it lias had one experiece in that . line with
the Holly. But if it is true that a pure
stream of water, clear as crystal, and for
aught we know flowing in all its purity
from the very foot of the great white
throne, is nt hand, aiul that the only cost
is the pumping up of its precious fluid, .
just as we do the murky beverage of the
river, we want to know it— want it demon
strated.

Cause for Co-nuratulation. — Califor
nia^, when they reflect upon it, should
hug themselves with satisfaction that their
lot is cast in a land where umbrellas are
not at all times a necessary attachment to
- the wardrobe. Several thousand people
went from New York to the new pleasure
grounds on Coney Island on the sth inst.
to celebrate,, in the teeth of the bracing
broezss of the ocean, the nation's natal day.
The clearness of the atmosphere and the
warmth of the day threw the Manhattan
.; folks off guard, and they departed id linen
coats and Panama hats, in lawn and slip
pers, and with never an overcoat or an
umbrella. Scarce hail they arrived when
- it began to 1:1:11 and blow, and so continued
all day. A more thoroughly drenched and
wilted lot of pleasure -seekers never re
• turned to their homes, and tho procession
of mist rabies tet all New York laughing. A
leading New : York journal, commenting
. upon the fact, reminds the people very
gravely that it is a rash act to venture any
where at the Kast without umbrellas and
wraps. It says that these mean cumbrous
bundles and inconvenience, " but so does a
baby," and that both are responsibilities
the Eastern . people . must endure. We in
California surely have reason for . self-con
- gratttlatioo. j We can go to -Yosemite, the
Geysers, to Tahoe, to San Diego in the
south or Siskiyou on the north, and wander
the length and breadth of the State, uucr
cumbered by wrap or umbrella, free-handed
and in perfect reliance upon the good con
duct of the weather. Truly, in view of tho
inevitable umbrella of the East, we of the
far West have reason to pity our distant
friend?.

Xr.w Industry.— The fact that ground
was broken yesterday in : this city for the
foundations of rolling mills for the Central
Pacific Hailroad Company is evidence of
the early opening of a new .and important
industry here of assured permanency. It
is suggestive, too, of further possibilities
for Sacramento as a manufacturing center.
It is probable that the , new ;■' mills '. will be
very largely 1 mploycd, not only in the pro- j
duction of rails for the Central Company's
' fines, but also in ■ the preparation of ma
' terial for bridge and ''. trestle j. work, as it is
safe to assume that on the California roads,
; as on 'other • principal '-. line j in '. the .United
States, wooden bii.lgjs and trestles will be 1
; gradually displaced by . those of .' iron and
steel. ' - - " ' "'
FIGURES FOR THE THOUGHTFUL.
'-■The official statement of the receipts and
disbursements of the Government from its
organization :to June 30,'; 1875, has -been
given in the _E_ecoki>-U_n"ion, together with
the amount of defalcations and the ratio of
such losses per j§ 1, 000 to the aggregate re
ceived and disbursed . under the different
administrations. We deem; the table of
such great .value .as to demand j further
reference to its facts. !v Under Washington,
in eight " years the loss '. on \ the §1,000 en
customs receipts .waa- §5 58. "From ; his
time down to Jackson it at no time ex
ceeded*^ 68,' but under : Old < Hickory it
ran. up- in _ eight years to $6 99. : ; Under
Polk it was but .03.-; ' Pierce, .53 ; Bu
chanan, .21 ; Lincoln, .10, and under
General Grant but .02. The loss on re-'
ceipts '. from ; all other sources was," under
Washington .30, ; Jackson §2 42, : Pierce
§2 20, Buchanan jsl 21, ;. Lincoln i .10 and
Grant .43. But let us aggregate ] all re
ceipts, , and . we find that • under Wash
ington (eight ' : years) the - defalcation
ratio of "■ loss to have " been to X each
81,000, §3 "2 ; Adams (4 years), 91 cents;
Jefferson ' (8 years), $2 05 '"; ; Madison •(8
years), Sl 10 ; ; Monroe (8 years), S3 52 ;
the second Adams (4 years), S3 40 ; Jack
son (8 years), So 53 ; '- Van _ Buren, in his 4
years, brought it to $3 01 Harrison and
Tyler (4 years), ($3 OS) ;" Polk (4 : years) re
duced it to '8 cents ;; under Taylor and
Fillmore (4 years), it rose to §1 30, but
under Pierce '(4 years) it was .75 : cents ;
Buchanan (4 years), 02 cents ; Lincoln (4
years), 10 _ cents ; Johnson \(4 i years), ]63
cents ; Grant (0 years), 31 cents. With the
solitary exception of Polk's quiet adminis
tration, Lincoln's, though in the stormiest
of periods, showed :.. the lowest ■ ratio ; of
losses. But it should .: be borne in mind
that the amount handled under Polk's ad
ministration was less than $202, 000, 000,
while under Lincoln the aggregate handled
was over $4,000,000,000, and in Grant's
time ;it was nearly $4,000,000,000. J The
greatest aggregate losses were under Jack
son, $1,412,387 02 and Johnson, $2,502,
--721 90 ; and Buchanan/ with $508,493 00,
was only exceeded by his predecessors in
one ; other instance — Monroe, $029,946 82.
Prior to June 30, 15G1, the ratio of total losses
was $209 to the §1,000, but from July 1,
ISOI, to June 30, 1875, the period of most
vital interest to the country, and enlac
ing the administrations in which the re
publican party is held responsible, the figure
is but 34 cents. In the Postal Department,
which has not- thus far been included, as
it collects and disburses its own revenue,
prior to 1861 the loss was $3 59, but since
then, to June 30, 1875, it has been $1 37.
Let us see, also, what were the total sums
handled, Postal Department excluded.
Prior to 1861 we find the whole long period
to make the total of receipts but $2,263,
--060,610 OS, while in the fourteen years fol
lowing nearly $13,000,000,000 were
haudled, yet the. losses prior to IS6I were
$4,734,020 out of two and a half billions
handled, while in fourteen years following,
out of nearly thirteen billions of dollars
handled, in a period in which occurred a
costly internecine war, the losses were
about $400,000 less. These figures are
sufficiently suggestive and will awaken the
attention of the thoughtful whenever the
cry of governmental robbery is raised.
But let us now glance briefly at the dis
bursements, losses and ratio of losses per
$1,000 to the aggregate of disbursements.
In the War, Navy, Pension aud Indian
Departments the losses were, under Wash
ington, 30 cents; Adams, $129; Jefferson,
$S 71; Madison, $12 14; Monroe, s23 63 ;
the second Adams, $5 61 ; Jackson, $7 10 ;
Van Buren, £4 S5 ; Harrison and Tyler,
$2 20; Polk, $7 09 ; Taylor and Fillmore,
$0 04; Pierce, $6 25 ; Buchanan, $9 12
Lincoln, $1 79; Johnson, 99 cents ; Grant,
$1 00. Prior to 1861, |8 S3 ; since and to
187"), but $1 54. Prior to IS6I . the'dis
bursements were but a iittleorer one billion,
but since, to 1875, four and a half billions
nearly. But taking the sum totals of dis
bursements and we find the losses charged
to Washington's administration to be but
09 cents ; Adams', $4 35 ; Jefferson's,
$2 82; Madison's, $7 27; Monroe's,
$13 22; the second Adams', $5 28; Jack
son's, $10 31 ; Van Bursa's, $21 15 ; Harri
son aud Tyler's, $10 37 ; Polk's, $S 35 ; Tay
lor and Fillmore's, §7 64 ; Pierces, $5 86 ;
Buchanan's, $6 93 ; Lincoln's, $] 41 ; John
son's, 48 cents ; and Grant's but 35 cents,
or the lowest figure attained since Wash
itigton'stiiue. Grant disbursedbver $4,000,
--000,000 ; Washington but about $55,500,
--000. Jackson lost $10 31 on the thousand
in disbursing $223,600,000, Pierce $5 86
with $285,000,000, and Buchanan 93 with
$328,183,000. Bat Lincoln, losing but
$1 41, disbursed over four billion six hun
dred thousand dollars, and Grant bat a
little less.
In conclusion, we cannot do better than
to reproduce the recapitulation of _ the
whole showing, which includes all that we
have gone over, and to submit the figures
as texts for the student of the political his
tory of the country. We have heretofore
enlarged upon the significance ot the table,
and at present refrain from th; further ex
tended analysis it invites :

UNHAPPY TURKEY.
—
The Turkish situation is anything but
pleasant. The l'orte seems to have made
an - energetic leap into the arms of Ger
many and X Austria. The ; Sultan may
dream, ''-,. as is alleged, of a . Turco- Russian
war with German allies at his back, but he
will find his dream, if realized,', to have an
awakening wholly unexpected by him." ;^ To
enforce ;,lbe ■ reforms "p. resolved upon,: the
" Sick Man " has called to his aid a corps
of -German counselors and civil officers,"
who will take positions as tbe heads of de
partments. The fact is to be noted also
that among those he has invited to aid him
in the regeneration of Turkey are Russian
officials. : These acts seem to indicate a
sincere effort to secure by genuine reform
the continued existence of _ Turkey. '; '• That
there is necessity; for thorough reform has
at* last dawned upon the Sultan's intelli
gence. : In Asia Minor, according to Obed
den Pasha, the difficulties are compared to
those ivhich weald exist ia fifteen Irelands.
Obedden selected » very speaking thor
oughly intelligible simile. If Wittcodorf,
the Germaß counselor, who '■■ for a salary of
40,000 francs per year is to engineer reform
for ; the ; Sultan, ca* straighten _; out Asia
Minor in ths three years allotted, he will
have accomplished I a work which wilt en
title him i_ to rank araong tbe , profouodest
and most skilled statesmen of the age_L'?>^'
- But the^Greoian frontier question is-be
. coming more troublesome to the Porte. It
lis said Turkey will now " lay claim for new
negotiations, according, to Article 24 oh the
Treaty of Berlin, which stipulates that, in
the event of : Turkey and Greece being. un
able to agree: upon the rectification .of, the
frontier suggested; in the thirteenth proto
col, the Powers will reserve to themselves
the right ; to* offer roadiation to facilitate
negotiations..: Turkey is unwilling to, yield
to.- the - decrees ;; of ; the - ; Berlin, con
ference concerning . the disputed borders,'
and ;itj is ; probabla the world ;- will now
realize that in this resistance she has rea
son for the preparations she is making ; for
war with' Greece, and ;■ that the decree 'is
but the mask under which it -is' intended
to fall upon the Porte, to , his destruction.
Austria ; and ; Germany are understood to
oppose any interference by a single Power
to aid Greece to obtain what the Conference
awarded her. The indications all point to
the non-success of ; England's plan of Eu
ropean concert of action by the Powers. _ In
the -' meantime comes : the news ■ that
Russia has notified the Sultan that " time
is up " for an answer relative to the execu
tion of tbeassassin of Colonel Commeroff, and
the English and French Ambassadors have
warned the unhappy ruler . that his throne
is in danger if •he refuses to carry out the
decision ;of J; the Conference, and . have
pointed grimly to the Egyptian example in
case of evasion. ; Russian semi-official jour
nals declare that no other '_ flag than the
Russian ought to be allowed to' wave on
the Bosphorus, ' that the present situation
is ■ intolerable, : and that an end must be
quickly made. This indicates, as the
Mulva says, _ that Russia desires all the
Powers, except Austria . and Germany, to
agree in the plan to " liquidate " the Turk
ish Empire, a diplomatic term for dismem
berment. Austria, it is charged, desires
present peace only to await ' a more favor
able opening of the Eastern question, but
the Russian journals congratulate , them
selves that Austria , is . too - much : engaged
with , home ; difficulties \to . interfere : : in
the immediate settlement of . that .' ques
tion. From all which it is evident that
the parceling out of the Turkish Empire
is to be entered upon, and when the meal
begins we may expect to see a lively strug.
gle for the choice bits.
THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND.
The Irish land bill agitation has proven
to be the profoundest sensation experienced
in political circles in England for years. The
alliance between the younger Tories and
the Irishmen is pronounced. The Ministry
insists upen Parliament sitting until the
Irish bills and other leading Government
measures are passed. The opposition •in
retaliation threatens that no Government
bill shall pass the House of Lords. The
landlord class, English as well as Irish pro
prietors, are more than bitter in their op
position to the plans of the Ministry, as
manifested in the bill to protect the Irish
peasantry. Gladstone is denounced as a
communist and a revolutionist; ancient
privileges, the landlords declare, are at
tacked, and they think their ruin is at
hand. The scenes in Parliament are said
never to have been equalled in violence.
Society has taken part," and the club-rooms
and parlors have joined in the cry against
the Ministry. On the other hand the Par
nell extremists attack the Government be
cause the Irish bills do not go far enough.
Gladstone is between fires, and it is hot for
him on all sides. His Liberal friends are
openly regretting his support of the Prince
Imperial monument scheme, to place the
memorial in Westminster, and the Govern
ment has met a square defeat on that issue
by the passage of a resolution forbidding
what is termed a desecration of the Abbey.
The feeling in England to-day is exceed
ingly bitter, and runs to greater extremes
than has been known for years. It is ag-
I gravated also by the foreign£situation, and
the feeling that Gladstone's policy of con
certed action of the Powers will avail
nothing, and in reality ties his hands. It
is probable that when the first rush 'of
anger is over better counsels will prevail,
and it will be Eeen the Government has
pursued, regarding the Irish question, the
only course left for it to take under the
announced, policy of the -Liberals. The
mistakes of the Government have not been
few, but at - this crisis any irresolution
means more than disorder. The situation,
it must be confessed, is not as clearly indi
cated by the dispatches as could be desired,
and~any judgment formed must needs be
conditional. But it is known that a crisis
crisis is impending, and that the slightest
cause may work radical governmental
changes.
POOR DEVICE.
A great deal of fuss is being made over
the announcement that some Republicans
here and there are forming Hancock and
Knglish clubs ; aud in San Francisco Cap
tain somebody gets . up and boasts : % of 500
Republicans who are thus organizing. It
is one of the oldest of old campaign devices,
to get ' a sorehead or two, back them up
with Democrats so unknown that their
statement as to . former voting habits can- :
not be disprove^ ._ and j parade the lot as
converts. J Such tricks are vain. . As Gen
eral Grant said the other . day - there is no
earthly reason why Kepublicans should not
vote their ticket ; and let us add, there is
not only every reason why they should not
vote for their political enemies, but, in
fact, they were never firmer . in their ad
hesion to their organization . than they are
to-day ii There never was a campaign with
out j bolters ; : there never \ will ■be ;"_■ they
break from both ranks ; it is an indefeasible
right of the voter ; ? but there _is less of it
this year than ever before known, and any
careful student of the times knows this to
be true. The opponents of General Gar- :
field must adopt better and fresher tactics ;
men are thinking in ISSO, L and : not 'i follow
ing this way or that because some others
go here or there. ,'
DOMESTIC REFORMS.
"There is a disposition in fashionable cir
cles to put an end to the folly of the costly
bridal '-'.. trousseau and expensive J knick
knacks for wedding presents. 'It is to be
hoped { that \ the ■ inclination ':. will come to
maturity. Brides ought to -have a good
outfit it is often the only one [ they ever
have— it should be of present use and
capable of answering the demands to come;
Jennie June tells of one fashionable family
which- broke away recently from _ the old
folly and invested the money usually spent
for trousseau, part ; for . useful articles for
the household, and part in the purchase of
good ; ; interest-paying p bonds. #i,4 Many a
"poor bride," says '■ Mrs. Croly, "has , had
£* '«.*"" V*« — j»* # Ju£ ' m t*f.^t"S. :__*?*" t t . ._»'"*«"■ "„ tf*r' "_i!^t

"trunk, costly knick-knacks scattered or J
" packed for which ehe had no space, who
_" bad not a dollar she. could call her own
"to give, ,: or ,to | spend, ; or "to - keep.'' j
Another proposed domestic reform seems
likely to ; meet , with \ defeat — the proposed
abolition of the practice of wearing mourn
ing. The warfare against it began in Lon- !
don, but has met with small success. The '
custom was denounced as senseless, selhsh
and conventional folly. On the other
hand/ it is urged ; that ;in all states of life
man has ] signalized his .grief ; by outward !
symbols, ' and ' that "their putting on \ia a
native instinct of the human race. It has
not been lost with the advance of civiliza
tion, _ but has ' takeu 5 higher ' forms. - The
mourning badge / signifies ."'a', belief :in a
future state of I existence, i and J evidences
the sentiment • of . the;' wearer, ; , though it
may be in no ; other -way ,' expressed/! that
those gone before are : comforted by the re
membrance of • them . being made manifest |
here.. _In fact the "-mourners " seem to
have , the i best of . tha argument : thus far,
and indeed the smpathetic . tendency is to ;
look upon . the wearing of ] mourning as
quite as natural : an, act,' and frat__ght with
as much affection, as the shedding of tears
over the bier. _■'-_. [iii

CHANGING THE TUNE.
The . Democrats were terribly exercised
over the possible Chicago nominee/ If the
Republicans /would ; only/ choose Grant.
He was the ; man .'of all others they could
defeat with : ease. , They, wanted nothing
better than to contest th* election with the
man to whom they, surrendered at Appo
iriatox Court ; House. - Grant was not nom
inated. J. His following promptly , wheeled
into line and became, as they always were,
supporters of the nominee. Now note how
the music changes with the situation. ? The
Democratic ' siren is sighing over the sup
posed woes of the Grant men, and like
Circe,, seeking to draw . them : away by
"singing a wonderful 'song to. the tune
'.'that ■-. no man " knows." ;In the same
breath they tell us that they are delighted
with Garfield's nomination, and they only
talked as they did for very fear that Grant
would "be '.- nominated,' as he was the man
above ; all others who would have given
them a hard fight. Verily the Democracy
take a wonderful ; interest in the domestic
economy of the party it opposes, and proves
itself to be the most bloodthirsty, sheep of
the day ; it would fain shelter the Grant
lambs that it may the more easily devour
them. ■ '-■-.. 7-7.
A BIT OF HISTORY.
-
Mr. English, who is the bob to the Han
cock kite, was the author of the "English
"bill" in Congress which - proposed to
open all the West to slavery. " Among its
provisions was this : '. XJ.
R Whenever a fugitive from involuntary servitude
la taken from his owner or master, or the Federal
officers having him in charge, by aniob, or by exist
ing State laws which - stand in conflict Vith the
Federal Constitution and the laws f.asse.l in pursu
ance thereof, and whenever a slave id taken from
his roaster while in transit of a State where slavery
does not exist, by violent means as aforesaid, the
city, county or township where such slave has been |
taken fi-om the person having him in charge shall
be liable to the owner of such sla c in double the
amount of his actual value.

NOT LOSING.
The popular opinion that the mining
counties have been falling off in population
since IS7O seems not to be sustained by the
census returns. , Tuolumne only has shown i
material loss. Many counties report a de
cided increase. A general review shows
that the mining sections have prospered,
so far as population numbers indicate pros
perity, and establishes the fact that legit
imate mining industries . have kept pace
with most others in California. --'

pi The Mariposa Gazelle gives a history of

Hite mine. It was formerly known as the
Manuel ■ Gomez, and :• was discovered and
worked in 1864. m A great amount of gold :
was \ extracted | from this mine, but like

gold was used in other ways than improv- ;
ing and developing the mine. The extent
of the work done up to the present time is
a shaft some 300 feet deep, and | a tunnel
some 160 feet in length. '*. It _is said that
not a pound of ore has been taken out that
was worth less than $100,' and from that to ;
$500 per ton. The last ! five and ; one-half
tons taken from a little below the 1 300-foot
level yielded $1,700. « The last attempt to
work it was the running ! of ; a tunnel upon
the vein proper and > striking ' the j body of
ore about 150 feet below the 300-foot level,
giving 160 f^et of new ground, which lis ;
supposed to contain "a; rich body of ore far
exceeding that of any yet taken out. This
tunnel, which .-is? completed 100 feet,' will
require 150 feet more ?to; be i added before '
reaching the main lode. '
