Refused Credit.

We are informed that several mountain
dealers, sound substantial dealers, known
for years as men of honor and honesty.
have been refused credit by the merchants
below-mostly in San Francisco. Tie
consequence is that the miners cannot Law
in provision sufficient for the winter. and
in the event of hard winter there will be
something near akin to starvation in the
mining regions. Every one knows, who
knows anything of the manner of doing
business in the mines, that in season
of drouth like this, there are hundreds
Of miners who have good claims that will
pay from eight to thirty dollars a day
when they can work; yet these very men,
who would starve to death rather than
give up their claims, have not money
to buy hundred weight of -four. The
deales here know who to trust, and they
would furnish such men with provisions,
if they could get credit themselves.
We hope the traders in the mountains
will mark those sharp, far seeing mer-
chants, who in an emergency like this
"shut down on them" after having deal,
IN one place a year or more In two
months from this time everybody will have
money-at least the industrious class
then buy elsewhere, and allow those ex
cessively sharp business men to dispose O
their goods for cash or approved credit
We have not heard of any of the Downie
vile merchants being refused credit; tn,
report we speak Of comes from the dr.,
diggings.

The Citizen.


John G. Langton, Esq, has purchased
the Office Of the Sierra Citizen, very much
to our own satisfaction, as the increasing
business and circulation Of the paper rc"-
ders the assistance of an active business
man imperative.
The publication of the Citizen is no
longer an experiment. 1t has succeeded
and we mean that it shall continue to sue
coed, if constant attention to our own de-
partment, working early and late, will be
Of any avail. We are averse to Cooley
isms or the self-pufing system, but the
success and popularity of our little sheet
cannot be otherwise than gratifying. The
paper was commenced under difficulties; a
miner was placed on the tripod at days
notice, without even time to shake the
dust from his beaver, (?) that had been
accommodating during four years delving
In the ravines and banks along the .Yuba;
and never perhaps did more unsophisti-
Gated individual apply for admission in
the corps editorial. This our cotempora-
ries soon discovered, we opine, but they
had the civility not to say so.
1t is difficult to keep up the interest in
a neutral, or independent paper; neither
party claim it as their own, or feel any
great concern FOR its success so that the
paper must depend on its literary merit
alone. This is oil we have had to depend
on, and the prosperity Of the Citizen even
under great disadvantages is the more
gratifying.
We intend to publish miners paper,
devoted to their interest, seldom dabbling
in politics, yet maintaining our indepen-
dence, and the right to give our opinion
on every question that may directly, or in
directly interest the people in the mining
districts. Enough Of this, however; we
will continue our former course, have an
opinion of our own and defend it as best
we can.
Little ezertion has heretofore been made
to increase the circulation of the paper;
little or no effort was made to increase the
patronage of the job Office, yet after all,
everybody connected with the Citizen has
had enough to do, and has been well pal
for his labor
1t is our object now to find out what
sort of paper can be built up in Sierra
County, how wide its circulation, and how
much its influence. Our correspondents
speak for themselves and we have nothing
to say in their or our own behalf, more
than to refer to back numbers of the pa
per if any can be found.
Mr.. Langton will shortly visit the neigh
boring mining district to solicit subscri-
bers, and we hope that every miner who
thinks the paper worth the price will send
in his name, with whatever mining news
he can communicate. Our object is to
publish paper for him, and it the Cai-en
be acceptable to the class on whom the
whole State depends for bread, we care
very little for the opinion of the crest of
mankind"

VARIABLE DARKEY.-We have several
times heard of spotted negro man, be.
longing to Mr.. A. F. Bruce, Of Saline Co.
A few days ago we called to see him. His
master informed us that the negro is about
forty-6ve years old. At twelve he was
copper color ali over; at twenty years Of
age he was spotted like leopard since
that time he has been white nearly all over.
He Is now undergoing second change
the black spots increasing in size and num-
Der. The parts fhis skin which are white
are very white and clear, and as smooth
as the skin of any laboring white an.
The veins in his arms have the same blue
appearance as those of the fairest skinned
white man. The hair and features show
that he is unmixed African. He is stout.
and always has been healthy, except q
rheumatism in one leg, which is of late
origin.-Lerlngton (Mo.) Express.
