Mr.. CALHouN's VIEws-At the con-
vention of the Southern members Of the
two Houses of Congress few days ago,
in Washington, Mr.. Calhoun said:
at is undeniable that the encroach-
ments upon our rights have been rapid
and alarming. They must be met. l
conceive that no Southern man can enter
tain for one moment the idea of tame SUBJ
mission. The action of the South should
be united, temperate, but decided. Our
position must be taken deliberately, but
held at every hazard. We wage no war
of aggression. We ask only for the con-
stitution of our fathers. We ask our
Northern brethren to leave US those rights
and privileges which our fathers held, and
without securing which for II cir children,
all know they would not have entered into
this Union. These we must maintain. "

GOVERNMENT OF CALIFORNIA.

1t seems that our government is somewhat
embarrassed to know how to preserve anv
sort of government in that far off region Of
Gold. Already do we have instances verify
ing the truth of the old adage that, "Aloney is
the Root of all evil" Our government have
sent troops to California, but no sooner do
they land than they are taken with the gold
fever, and desert, either singly or in squads,
until the commanding officers are left entirely
alone,-to prevent it is impossible To such
pitch is the excitement raised that nothing
but the strictest martial law will prevent de-
sertion-to give soldiers extra compensation,
would amount to nothing, while the idea of
digging and washing out from fifty to hun
dred dollars worth of gold day, is held out TO
them at the mines The Buffalo Patriot sug-
gcsts that instead Of giving them any increase
of pay, which would be of no avail, we would
suggest the adoption of practice that has
been found to work well in the British service
in preventing assertions against strong induce
ments. At various places in Canada, where
British troops are stationed, with light but
somewhat irksome duty, and many tempta-
tons to cross the lines into the States, it is Gus
tomary to give such Of the men as arc mechan-

les or are inclined to work for themselves, oc-
casional furloughs, which enable them to fol-
low pursuits they are inclined to, and in that
way earn an amount that makes a handsome
addition to their pay. In Maiden, for instance,
some of the best mechanics, and those most
extensively engaged in business are soldiers.
They are not permitted to absent themselves
altogether from duty, but the furloughs grant,
ed them are sufficiently long, and at sufficient
ly frequent intervals 10 allow them to carry
on their business probably. Why could not
this plan be initiated in California by organ
izing the troop at any post into three or four
detachments, which by turns should be allow
ed furloughs 10 enable them under the charge
of some subordinate officers, to proceed to the
mines, and there dig for gold, which, when
found, should be paid into the treasury Of the
post as common stock.
Under such system the men,.would in all
probability remain true to their colors, and by
working with proper organization and I'M
der some rules oil discipline, their labor would
be more productive, their health would be pre-
served, and the advantages they would derive
would soon become so obvious, that little or no
difficulty would be experienced in getting and
keeping any number of soldiers that the con-
dition of the country and the requirements Of
the public service may demand.
We have no doubt but that there are rich
mines of gold in California but when it is
stated that there is six hundred miles of gold
mines, it seems TO US as lift was setting it up
a little "too steep" 1t is further said that
they are capable of affording millions of peo-
pie with employment. Whether these mines
will hold out as rich as present appearances
indicate, is a mere matter of conjecture.
One thing We predict, that some who 90 to
California will get rich-others may not.

ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF CoNGREss.-The
special election GU Monday, for the choice OF
members of Congress in the districts which fail
ed TO elect in November, resulted in the choice of
Mr.. King, Wing, in the I'd district Judge Alien,
Free Soil, in the 5th district, and Mr. Fowler,
Wing, in the 9th district. 1t is not certain that
there is any choice in the 4th district, where Mr.
Palfrey, the present representative, has made a
very large gain. In all the districts the 7ote
falls off considerably from that of November
In the I'd district, Mr.. King is reelected BY full
five hundred majority. The majority against
him in November was 1916. In twenty three
towns now, Mr.. King has 1855; Mr.. Newhall,
Free Soil, 1872; Mr.. Rantoul 1890; Scattering
II. The same towns gave in Notwithstanding
5496; Free Soil, 34s4; Democratic, 5000. Scat
tering IA.
In the 5:h, where Charles Allen has prevailed
over Charles Hudson, the present Wing Repre-
sentative. the majority for the former is set down
at about 1900 by a Geographic correspondent Of
the Traveller. The Worcester Spy of yesterday
claimed from 500 to 1000 majority.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Palfrey leads largely,
bis vote being nearly equal to that Of both the 9TH
er candidates. His gain since the last election
in 10 towns is 1863; tho majority against him then
was 1912
ADDITIONAL CONGRESSIONAL RETURNs-
Mr.. Kings majority in District No. will reach
600.
In No. Judge Allen will have thousand ma
jority, at least. Returns srom A towns give him
TAG over all others.
We give the additional returns in the 4th Dist
riot where no choice has been effected, and in the
9th, where Mr.. Bowler, the Wing candidate, has
been chosen over odds, which, when the district
was formed, were supposed TO be most formidable
He is undoubtedly elected by between one and
two hundred majority,
