to the head of the Lake by the facilities
for transacting business there. The gay
and the fashionable would find it an
agreeable place of resort, and trip to the
Lake would become to them as indis-
pensable as a trip to Saratoga or the
White Mountains, and the combined at
fractions Of business and pleasure would
soon build up a village at the Lake
Bridge which in few years would equal
or surpass any other in the northern part
of the State, for these reasons that the
western route can be built and maintained
more easily, the cars run upon it at less
expense, that it will command a greater
amount of business and that it better pro-
notes and advances the interest of the
country it is to be preferred, and the judg-
ment of the directors in locating the road
is fully vindicated. ORLEANS.

California Jottings.

The editor of the San Andres hide
pendent has recently been on a visit to
his constituents, and at Calico Flat found
a company of miners enjoying a social
tea-party at quilting. Not lady was
present, but the quilting" was conduc-
ted in the most approved style, with tea
fxings and camp gossip to suit. Calico
Flat" is queer name for place inhab-
tied exclusively by old bachelors.
One day in the year 1919, when al
most fabulous prices were asked for all
sorts of merchandise, a party of immi-
grants, on arriving at Weberville, found
themselves out of saleratus, then an in
despensable article. One of the party,
Col. p, now wealthy citizen Of Sac
ramento county, had at the time one quar-
ter Of a dollar left which was about all
the money then to be found in the train.
The Colonel determined to invest his
remaining two bits in the purchase of
saleratus, and with that intent entered
the little log grocery of he'town, and en-
quired Of the proprietor of the establish
ment if he had any saleratus. The store
keeper made answer affirmatively, and
the Colonel at once called for a quarters
worth. Stranger" said he of the gro
Gerry, " really don't know how to weigh
that quantity" why" said the Colo
mel, how do you sell it, mister p
d" Only sixteen dollars pound p was the
calm reply. With a look of unutterable
amazement, the Colonel pocketed his
quarter and vamosed the ranch. So saith
the Placerville Iade1.
The above is comical. Our next item
from the same SOURCES tragical and
shocking. It is as follows:
AT Todd's Valley, on Friday night
last, in order to have bit of sport, some
nracAless roWdies made shar,, hat with
a drunken hummer that he could not
drink three quarts of whiskey. The
drunken man accepted the bet and COM
menced the delectable task. After guz-
zling bottle or two the fellow weakened.
and tried to back out from the Alexan-
drian feat; but one of his tormentors stood
over him with drawn club, and threat
ened to murder him if he did not perform
the undertaking. Our informant saws
that the besotted wretch actually swal-
lowed the contents Of three bottlesl The
next day he was found lying dead in the
street. A justice of the Peace summond
ajury ofinquest whose verdict was simply
that the deceased came to his death from
drinking too much whiskey.
The Sacramento Journal says that in
a recent case before the county court the
jury could not agree ON verdict. The
amount in dispute was about 5000, and the
jury divided on the propriety of giving a
verdict for that sum or for S201 80, ma
king difference of just one dollar and a
half.
Stock raising is not always profitable
in California. A calf ate miners shirt
the other day at Coloma, with $114 in
gold, which was in pocket of the shirt.
The miner gives up the shirt as done
gone" but hopes to recover his gold.

HE BIBLE IN THE NEGRO CABIN.
Henry Ward Beecher, in his " Life
Thoughts" says:
" The Bible Society is sending its
Bibles all over the world-to Greenland
and the Norea, to Arabia and Egypt
but it dares not send them to our own
people. The coIporteur who should
leave a Bible in a slaves cabin, aooasId 90
to heaUe" from the lowest limb of the
first tree"
To which the Charleston Courier, one
OF the most heightened of Southern ex-
changes, replies as follows:
" Henry Ward Beecher either maEes
bold and confident assertions on matters
of which he is consciously ignorant, or
he boldly and willfully asserts known
falsehood."
We give to the Shareholders of the
South the benefit of this denial, simply
remarking that although the colporteur
might distribute his Bibles with impuni-
ty, he would, by the laws of most, if not
all Of the Southern Statas, be fined and
imprisoned if he should teach a slave to
read one. The enforced ignorance of
the slaves may well be regarded as more
OF an obstacle to the labors of the COL
porteur than the uncoyeted elevation SO
quantity alluded to by Mr.. Beecher.

The Recoil.

1t is some satisfaction to know that II
the English bill passes Congress, as now
seems probable, it will hurt its supporters
more than anybody else. We presume
its bride will be spurned by Kansas, and
some injury may thereby be entailed up
on the people of that long suffering Ter
ritory. But the self-denial will further
purify their population Of its mischievous
pro-slavery elements and of the unprin-
cipled adventures ready to serve or over
throw any party just as their own inter
ests may dictate. IF Lecompton is now
rejected, the bulk of these worthless
classes viii consider their occupation
gone, and the hour for themselves to go
fully arrived. Their departure, or their
subsistence in Importance, will bring new
recruits of the right kind, insure the val
ne of property, and ultimately enhance
the abiding prosperity of the new State.
the evils will be temporary, ard not more
severe than would be those Of submission
to the new scheme of degradation.
But the substantial recoil of the expe-
riment is to fall upon the party which has
made the blunder by adopting it. These
gentlemen have slain popular sovereignty
by crushing it between alternatives that
leave no sovereignty remaining. They
fal8ify their former pretensions that the
Lecomption Constitution is complete
without popular submission, by re-submit-
ting it, although in very unjust and one
sided manner. They abandon the po-
sition that no condition precedent shall
be made to the admission of new States,
by imposing one directly addressed to
the pecuriary interests of the people
They betray to the world their favorit-
ism Of slavery and their jealousy of free
dom by loading each with altogether diff
erent conditions-a bounty for the for
mer and heavy disabilities for the latter.
And they also afford a precedent from
which they may hereafter ask in vain to
be delivered. The only danger of new
States in the future is from the qui-
ct occupation of Southern territories, and
the presentation Of their claim to admis-
sion backed up by all the prescribed steps
thereto. Let new pro-slavery consti-
tuition be thus laid before an anti-slavery
Congress. The present Congress has
shown how, without presuming to touch
the constitution, such conditions may be
required in advance Of admission, thai
the people will prefer to remain outside
till they have the requisite population fol-
one member Of Congress-which period
may suffice for transforming the mos
pro-slavery territory into a decided Free
State. While, however, this precedent
like some Of the results of the repeating
of +ho Missouri O0raT7r0r11ii1o, may Ut
available for the advancement of freedom
the dishonest motives which originate il
cannot be concealed. They will be held
up before the people of the country, I'm.
til the corrupt course which has termi.
mated IN this ignominious measure is full
ly understood and appreciated. Success:
in Congress is one thing, but success OF
the stump and through the free press i:
quite another. The Kansas Nebraska
measure illustrated this truth in part and
