Amador weekly ledger., 1857-12-19

1 8. 1t is gratifying to know, from his own
statement, that Mr.. Parsons deprecates the
introduction Of politics into schools and pull
pits.
4. Mr. Parsons communication, land be
it said with all due respect, begs the ques-
ton. Special pleading SO bare-faced needs
no comment.
I 8. Our friend Mr. P. is exceedingly gra-
cious
6. If nothing political was to be taken
from it-and if Mr.. p had no idea that a
political question would arise-why did he
consider it necessary to be assured that
nothing political could come of it?'
7. One thousand things wrong would not
make one thing right; and glad to know that
Mr.. P. PROCESSES Democracy, (and as he is an
honorable man his professions are SO taken
we are willing to let the seventh paragraph
go for it may be worth Antecedents-K n.
or Republican, or both--will be passed by
for the present.
8. Sublimel-p-e-r-haps.
8. Mr. P's. failure to make discoveries
seems TO be characteristics
10. Mr. Parsons statement that through
his interference the publication of certain res
olutions was suppressed, is ba5yish-and
could only have been penncd in a moment of
excitement So far as we are concerned, we
court the publication of the resolutions
We propose that fhe names of all persons
who participated be given and assert that no
public notice was given of any meeting TO
consider the subject. Mr.. Parsons charity
is not appreciated let him produce the reso-
lutions, and the circumstances under which
they were passed.
: In conclusion, we deprecate the idea
of lending the use Of our columns to any
thing that may foster local and Improbable
disputes, The production Of Black Re
publican "melodrama, . in q school exhibition
at Clinton, is to be regretted we have no
desire to make it the cause of either local or
general disturbance. Public attention has
now been called to the matter which should
be sufficient rebuke. We should rather
not feel compelled to allude, further than in
this sentence, TO the fact that Negroism has
been taught in public and private schools
throughout the Western States for the past
quarter of a century.
THEATER.-Mr j. p. Addams, the world
renowned and mirth-proyoking Yankee COM
edian, will make his appearance in jackson
next Monday evening He is supported by
good company. We have no time to say
more; but Mr. Adams name of itself will
probably ensure good house.
FoREIGN MINERS TAx-1'he State Jonrn-
al copies the paragraph in this paper Of last
week, protesting against the San Jose Tri-
bane's proposition to take away from the min
ing counties their share of the foreign min
cr's tax, and adds the following;
1--WE find the above in the Amador Ledgey
and must confess that there is much upon
which to base the complaint We regard the
agricultural interests OF the State as highly
as any one, but must agree with the Ledger
that the miners are the great producers who
maintain our commercial position abroad,
and, at the same time, as a class, they are
the worst paid men in the community. While
all good farmers get rich, large majority of
the miners are either living from hand to
mouth, or are absolutely in debt They
should be treated fairly"
PINE GRovE,-A piece Of gold weighing
over thirteen ounces, was picked up in the
claim of Bradshaw & Co, at Pine Grove.
New diggings have been discovered on the
hill side, near Pine Grove, that prospect very
well. 1t is on ground very easy to work.
FANcY GooDs.-Jackson at his establish
ment has on hand a splendid stock of fancy
goods suitable for Christmas and New Year
presents. Call and see him.
SESAroRIAL.--In this county, Lewis re-
ceiyed 366 votes; Thompson, 6l; scattering,
1871. In CaIaveras, Lewis received SIT;
Thompson, l54; scattering, 1870
As usual, the agent Of the Alta Express
Company, Thos IL. Skdmore has conferred
numerous fayors upon US, for which we desire
to return our thanks The "Altav continues
to gain rapidly in public favor.
