PAlNE'S GAS.

/, II Fame Is the author of the stories published
oy the newspapers on the Water Light, he has
genius Tor invention that no one can dispute.
-Dut ,ie stories are as miraculously expan-
siVe ana compresslble, and in all ways paradox
lcal, is the Gas of which he speaks.
1t was said that $4,000, 900 had been offer
ed Tor the patent, and half a million maid down.
and that the Astor House proprietors had con-
tractcd for the use OF the light for their premis
es. Mr. Paine, in letter to the Boston Trans
cript, says that he has sold his patent for only
.'enough to keep him off the town." and let
ter in the Troy Wing dlsposes Of the Astor
House story, into the truth of which the writer
had been requested to inquire.
"Messrs. Coleman g. Stetson both told me
that they had not, by implication or otherwise,
given the least authority for the assertion that
the Astor House was to be lit by Mr.. Paine
lltgh. They have simply said, that if that light
could be sustained in briliancy, and produced
at the low cost stated, they "would be glad to
have It, as everybody else would" On this
natural remark, the assumption of positive
order was founded. In fine, they told me thew
mad no faith in the pretended discovery. and
would not advance shilling to test it,.
1t was said that the Baltimore CIipper office
was lit by this gas. This probably is untrue
It was said that S'tAe Gas Companies in the At
lantlc cities were negotiating for the use of the
patent; but no gas company was named All
that is true is that Mr. Paine exhibits a lioh
such as is produced by carburetted hydrogen
evolved by the ordinary processes. What pro
cess he uses, he conceals from the public. Thi.
concealment, the absurdity of bis explanations
and some antecedent passages in his persona
career, make many think that the discovery is a

of these seekers be to serve the people, and not
themselves, why can they not wait and let the
people find them out and select them. In the ex-
cess of their patriotism are they apprehensive
the people will fail to appreciate their worth, and
therein fail to consult their own interests. Is
not this nervous seeking pretty conclusive con-
elusive evidence that they think more Of them
selves than they do of the people, and hence will
be apt to consider themselves first in the per-
Torrance of their duties when elected. tits the
curse of the land, that these scheming, selfish
politicians, hold all the avenues of the admins
tration of government. Onr whole government
under such circumstances is fraud upon the
people. 1t is mere collection of individuals,
to devise ways and means best TO rob and plum
der the people, to enrich and advance themselves;
"a great gambling operation in which the Offices
Of the land are the prizes, and the people and
their rights and interests, the stake ventured.
We want to know if the people of this district
at least, are not prepared TO do their share to-
wards remedyng this state of affairs. Whether
they feel themselves bound, sold hand and foot
TO these office-seekers to do their bidding--or
whether they have not the right to fill this office
of representative, and all other offices, to their
own advantage. We say select man who rep

u Incendiaries at Work-A diabolical at
tempt to burn down the Cabinet Factory of
Mr.. Scott, was made last night about l l o'clock,
if the attempt to burn the building had succeed
ed, all main street from the corner of park to
the Runas House would have gone by the
flames. The fire was set within few rods of
the rear end OF our Office We hope the article
in the Democrat did not induce the rascals to
attempt that way to bless the city by burning
up our office.
IT Since writing the above we have learned
the City Hotel was set on fire to day. The
house was empty and afforded the rascals a
chance. Keep your eyes peeled for the hounds.

A Successful Adremurer.-Some years since
a gentleman of Union CO., Ind, concluded to try
his fortune in Oregon, and in the turns of bust
ness became possessed Of couple of saw-mils
situated conveniently for shipping business
When the gold fever commenced, and multi
tudes began to flock to Caiftrnia, three years
ago, lumber came into great demand, and our he
no found demand for all he could saw, at most
exravagant prices One day last week he pass
ed through this city, on his way to Indiana, wi h
$4,000 in his possession, and before he left
Oregonhe had rented his mills for $50, 900 year
This, in dollar and cent view of the ease, is a
very satisfactory degree Of success. Fifty thou
sand year would be comfortable income for
almost anybody whose notions are not too ex-
travagant

1t is not talk bat example, that is tie great

How, then, every individual who really sym

in our institutions all their Objectionable features

lMGkACANAAAE1 FAsOIECEkVE UNION
Al meeting called and recently held in this
City, it was resolved that it is expedient at the
present time, to attempt to form an association to
be called the Kenoshs County Mercantile Pro-
tectare Union" Acommittee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions of stock for the object in
question, and the undersigned were appointed a
committee for theipurpose of making a brief er-
pose OF the nature and object of the proposed en-
terprize. 49,
Its nature is perhaps sufficiently obvious from
its name. 1t is designed for the purchase and
sale OF all kinds of merchandise demanded by
the wants of this market
Its object is economy. Stockholders will BRO
cure through it, the goods they find it necessary
to purchase, at the actual cost, which will be a
large reduction from present prices.
Such IS its nature and object; and let us add
that experience throughout New England as
well as elsewhere, where many of these Unions
are IN operation, demonstrates that the object is
sure to follow their establishment They have
been found to be thoroughly practicable, and in
no case have failed to realize the anticipated be-
nefits.
1t is confidently believed that the foundation
OF an establishment may now be laid which will
eventually put the whole business of buying and
selling IN this MARKET into the hands of those d.
rectly Interested, viz: the producer and consu-
ner, a result which must be highly beneficial to
the great majority of the people, as will at once
be seen.
Other meetings will be held to consider this
Subject, to which all are invited who feel an in
terest IN the matter. There the details of the
movement will be perfected, in which all can
have voice.
The inhabitants of the country are especially
invited to be present, and interest themselves in
the matter. II. Ii. DAVIS,

weighed fifty pounds. 1t is composed mostly
ofpure gold, apparently having, while in liquid
state, run among some quartz rocks. 1t was
found near the Maraposa, about three feet below
the surface of the earth. $4,000 was offered
for it on the spot where it was found, but it is
supposed to be worth about $4,000, although
the actual value cannot be ascertained until it
is ground up and assayed. The big lump is

Sous OF TEMPERENcE.--The seventh annual
session of the National Division of the order
of the Sons of Temperance, commenced its
session in Boston, on Thursday last, and has
continued in session through the week. till to-
day, when it probably adjourned. In regard
to the action ofthis, the highest authority known
in the order, the Boston Journal learns that on
Thursday afternoon, by vote of IS yeas to 6
nays, it was declared that the future admission
OF colored men to the order, should be improper
and illegal
Mean as this act appears, we are of the opin-
that the colored men can do without the order as
long as the order can do without them Thus have
the sons in National Division shown their hatred
to humanity. 1t belongs now for the auxiliary
divisions to withdraw from such connection
or share the odium. We believe the Masons
are the only secret order now, who do not ex-
clude the colored man from its expenses, unless
we may except the O. E. O. of l00l We I'M
derstand that this order is designed for the ben

G The decision of the National Division Of

that any man of good moral character may be
admitted" "This result has been brought
