decidedly ahead of anything we have had of

that the quartz operators of Amador coun-

Business men complain of dull times, al

nearly as much dust sold here at present as

of no big strikes lately, but nearly all the

A very few of our citizens were bored on
Tuesday evening by what purported to be a
lecture on Mormonsm, by couple of hOm-
bres who had very much the appearance of
itinerant fish venders in reduced circumstan-
ces, and who in the most barbarous manner
murdered the Queens English, without any
regard to the precepts taught by the gospel
or Murray's Grammar. They should connect
themselves with Dan Virgil Gates, and "open
out" in the vegetable line.
The "PennSylvanian Concert Troupe" ar
rived in town yesterday, and played to large
and highly delighted audience. 1t is a long
time since the people of Volcano have en-
joyed such treat as was given them last
night by this troupe. l have heard them
spoken of but in terms Of the highest com
mendation; especially the funny gentleman,
who possesses the talent of being irrestably
droll without resorting to buffoonery or vul-
garity. They play here again tonight pre-
yious to their departure for Jackson, where
they will play two nights.

Perhaps the Democrat takes it for granted
that the Ledger must" oppose John B
Weller for Governor, because it did not sup
port him for United States Senator last win.
ter Judging from the highly personal
character of the Democrats Democracy, we
should not be at all surprised if this was the
sandy foundation of its conclusion; but we
would remind that journal that the Ledger is
mot bound to swear in the words of any man. y
The Ledger supported Mr.. Brokerick and Mr.
Latham for United States Senators, and
whose election we thought would produce
and maintain harmony in the party; but we dld
not say one word against Col. Weller or any
other of the many candidates in the held.
They were not running before the people for
a nomination, and therefore the Ledger had a
right to express its preference, and it did do
so, but unlike the present course OF the de-
mocrat, without abusing and defaming other
candidates
Nevertheless, the Democrat evidently thinks
that because we supported another for Sena-
tor, we must naturally oppose Col. Weller for
Governor Our cotemporary looks through
its own glasses-not ours To be more plain,
we espouse the cause of individuals but sell
dom, (unless in the way of supporting regu-
larly nominated ticket and when we do do
so, it is without making out bill of sale of
ourselves to them. If the Democrat is the
mere mouth-piece of a faction, that is no rea-
son why it should jump at the conclusion that
other Democratic journals are mere instru.
ments in the hands Of ambitious individuals.
As we said last week, we support Demo
Gratis because they are Democrats, and not
because they may happen to be the friend or
enemy of any man or set of men," We are
not owned-not controlled-not influenced
by any faction, and do not intend to be.
As to Col. John b. Weller, we are conf
dent that we admire him as a man and as a
Democrat as profoundly as the Democrat pos
sibly can He is above suspicion-he is pure
metal; and our admiration for him does not
arise because we suppose him to be running
for Governor in opposition to somebody we
don't like However, we would ask the De-
mocrat if that does not constitute the ground
work Of its present enthusiasm? Did ii sup
port Weller for Senator, by-the-by, as long
as it thought another candidate for the long
terR had show" against Broderick
Come, come Mr. Democrat, when you
classify the Democratic papers of the State
remember that they do not all /" crook the
pregnant hinges of the knee" to factional pre-
judice, or the dctation of cliques. We have
no candidate for Governor until the Conven
tion makes one; and we are not opposed
to any good Democrat, who has been, or may
be named for the position.

WASHINGTON, August 10.

sa', and assuring him that they would cease
to pray that he might have the proper course
of duty pointed out to him, or something to
that effect. To the letter the President has
replied, briefly but pointedty, deny ing their
premises, questioning their knowledge of
those laws, and after acknowledging their
validity, he calmly assures them that by the
help of God he will enforce them in accord
ance with the oath of Office.
