THE NEW GOLD ExcITEMEST.-Since the
days when the gTandees Of Old Spain looked
upon the continent of America as q land of
gold, and the love of wealth made them forget
their family pride. and the time when Sir Wal
ter Raleigh risked his life on the broad Allan
tic to visit the western Eldorado-not in a
steamship or modern clipper ship--from
these times to to-day this continent has been
subject to the best kind of yellow jacks, name
ly, gold feyers. California has been made by
one, and no sooner do we see her rising pros
porous State, and able as il were TO walk alone,
without the stimulus of gold washing, than a
new field is opened up for the restless miner,
and gold in plenty is discovered far north on
the Pacific Coast. Thousands have left Cali
fOrnia for the new gold field, which is in the
valley of the Frazer river, in the British pos
sessions, flowing from the Rocky Mountains
into the Gulf Of Georgia. There would seem
to be 10 humbug in the excitement, and the
gold discovered has been really astonishing,
many miners report having collected almost
fabulous quantities of gold. The Hudson Bay
Company have the control OF this portion of
the country, and We are inclined TO think that
the discovery of gold in their territory, and
consequent enormous imm grafton, will do
more TO break up this disgracetul monopoly
than all the Reports which the British House
OF Commons have been making for the same
purpose during the last few years. The Indians
who inhabit the district belong TO the Chinook
tribe, and are already familiar with the whites
from their intercourse with British aud French
trappers, and will no doubt prove of valuable
assistance to the miners. We also see that
some English capitalists propose to make
great Pacific Railroad in connection with the
Grand Trunk of Canada, and their surveyors
are already in the field planning the line from
Lake Superior through this same territory TO
EancOuyeI;s Island in the Pacific Ocean. This
will increase the value of the gold mines, and
render the journey there easy. Imagine the
Great Eastern to Portland, railroad to Mon
treal, crossing the Victoria Bridge, from thence
by boat and rail to the PacIfc-only seven
thousand miles by stean-through the finest
scenery in the world, and over the greatest
engineering triumphs mankind has ever seen.
Truly America and England are great coun-
tries, and the people rather go-a-head.

GOING TO GLASGOW FOR IRON

The deveIopement OF the fact that the ma
tional administration has sent TO Glasgow for
$3.50, 900 of water pipes for the Washington
Aquednct, when they could have been had
cheaper in Pennsylvania, is awakening feel
ing Of bitter indignation in eastern Pennsyl-
vania. Throughout the varions iron counties
of the State the furnaces and foundries are
idle, and such job as this would have given
them partial employment; but an administra-
tion that knuekles TO Great Britain in the
matter Of the right of search, must carry its
treachery to the country to the utmost limit.
and add TO the sufferings of our mechanics by
sending abroad for what could have been bet
ter made at home. A correspondent of the
Philadelphia North -.fmerican gives the facts
as follows:
.sSix thousand tons of cast iron pipe were
wanted to supply the city of Washington with
water. Congress made the necessary appro-
priation, zone of the inducements being to
supply mechanics with work during the pres
ent dull times,) proposals were invited and
day fixed for their reception. When all were
in, then was brought TO bear certain influences
which are only known in Washington. Il was
necessary that the successful bidder should be
a democrat; in fact this was abso o.utely essen
tial, SO that the faithful might be The rccipi-
ents OF democratic money Besides which,
person who is not strictly entitled TO con-
tract, and yet receives 1t, is expected 10 pay
his friends. Under this process, bids from
responsible parties, legitimately engaged in
the making of pipe, were rejected as informal
several is and few t's not being dotted or
crossed-and the contract awarded at a higher
price, to a gentleman in this city, who, by
the directory, is brass and iron founder,
Lombard street below Willow, where in 8
building 40x50 feet, he carries on both pro-
fesSions. Now, it is as well known at Wash
ington as here. that brass and iron founder
is not necessarily 4 maker of iron pipes; that
many OF our largest iron founders never make
them. AID the recipient cannot be char ged
with being in the business, intending TO go
into it. The contract being duly signed.
sealed and delivered and the Pennsylvania
and Argus having duly announced in their
columns, s.Nore lcorh; for Philadelphia mechaa-
ics," the job IS quietly transferred t.P3Fjtish
soil, and the $3.50 600 that would have done
much TO benefit our coal and iron miners, and
our blast furnace men-and iron founders, and
also our coasting vessels in transportation to
Washington, will be expended in building up
our rivals in England. When our own gov
ernment goes abroad for its water pipe, when
offered TO them by American founders at q less
price, how can We expect foreign governments
to come here +? II we ignore the fact that our
iron has been pronounced superior TO theirs,
tby competent authority can we expect them
TO appreciate it 4? The injury done US as a
nation by this trick of our democratic govern
ment cannot be estimated by millions"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

IN our last we publishedthe opinion of the
Supreme Court in reference TO the laying of
school tax for building purposes. There was
voIyed a point Of the most direct interest TO
our people, viz: what constitutes sufficient
delivery of timber! The case to which We
aIude was an action Of Repleyin, brought by
the firm OF RaIston & Beatty against John II.
Chase, TO recover two RATS OF square timber
which they had purchased from Daniel Brit-
ton. and after stamping it with their marking
hammer, permitted it to remain upon the prem
isss of Britton. The constable levied upon
and sold it as the property Of Bri;ton, under
an execution issued by John II. Chase, who
purchased it at the sale. The question was,
we believe, whether or not the marking of the
timber was a sufficient delivery as against an
execution creditor. Judge Burnside held that
it was, unless the Jury could believe from the
evidence that the contract between Ralston &
Beatty and Britton was made to hinder and de-
lay the creditors of BrittoB. RalstOn & Beat
ty recovered the value of the timber, and a
writ of error was taken to the Supreme Court,
where the opinion of Judge Burnside has been
sustained, and the Judgment affirmed. The
case was argued by Fl. B. Swoope, Esq, for
Ralston & Beatty, and ". i. Wallace. Esq,
for John VI. Chase. 1t is an important deci-
sion for this region, involving a point which
might have seriously affected the business of
the county. If we can procure copy of the
| opinion, and it is not too lengthy, we Will
| publish it.
