D. 1873, that the New Constitution baa been adopted by a majority of one hundred and forty-four thousand three hundred and sixty-two : therefore, u Resolved, That ilia Excellency, the Governor, be informed by the Presi dent of the Convention, of the remit, and that be be respectfully requested to issue hit proclamation thereof with out delay." 1 respectfully call jonr attention thereto, that there may be no nnoeaea- ry delay in th. eonnting of th. vote cast for and against tbe New Constitu tion ; that I aisy in conformity with the provisions of tha act calling the Convention, and in compliance with fbe resolation of tbe Convention, promptly issue tbe proper proclamation. Tbe New Constitution having been approved by a very decided majority of tbe people, it is expected that all citi xens will yield cheerful obedience to its behests, and unite to strictly a id faith fully en for aw its provisions. As atea day's experience reveals the method of administration, the convie tion crows stronger ia bit mind that I gencl government depeuds not so much ! upon written laws as upon lbs disposi- tion of tbe people to comply witb the dao-ends of the laws, and tua determi nation of tliots delegated to execute them, to sea that their mandates are enforced, lteform, it w.l! be conceded. nB0' obtained by mere eoostttu tiooal enactment, nor by sairounding office and trusts with additional re strsiots.

Tbe solution of this important question presents grave dif ficnltiea, bnt I expect to tee. them all sarmonntcd. Some plan aast b. de vised to snstcL these children from the career of idleness and crime to which ignorance will consign them. By far tbe greater portion of the inmates of our penitentiariea never attended schools, or bad the advantages of edu cation.

That portion of the report of Hon. J. P.

Tub tract of country known as tbe Slate Range Valley is probably one of the most curious that sathern Califor- ! ni ean boast of.

The en riched ami vitalised blood per meates every part of Use hotly, repairing damages and waste, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed xepon. This is the secret of the won derful success of this remedy in curing Drtrpepeia, Liver Com plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea Boils, Xervous Affections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Irfss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blootl, or ac companied by debility or a lour state of the system. Being frea from Alcohol, in any form, its energising effects are not fol lowed by corresponding reac tion, but are permanent, infu sing strength, vigor, ami neu life into alt parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con stitution.
