raised for its benefit at the Custom House
which little donkey who has the reputation
Of being the editor, (and in fact the only
reputation he has) denied in low piece Of

legitimate calling Of illegitimate mock auc
tioneering; but would have scarcely expect.

per. will give you the facts, which will
not be denied except by one totally lost to
all honorable sentiments of a gentleman.
Col. b. f. Johnson headed subscription
list which purported to be for the support
of the leading Administration organ of the
Democratic party. To which the attaches
of the Custom House roluntariiy subscrib.
ed, even to the laborers. The organ (mir.
able dictu) was the Globe.
There were q few in the navy department
over which Washington has no control, refu.
sed to subscribe but voluntarily raised a
subscription for the Herald, which was also
circulated in the Appraisers store. When
asked If John Nugent would receive it, they
were politely told he would not, but appre.
ciated the compliment.

tho Atlantic States, and on the day of his
departure, the two Vigilante, Black Repub-
lican, cowardly editors of the Bulletin and
Globe, commenced series Of articles abu
sing him Their most laudable ambition,
since has been to outrise one another in
their billingsgate abuse Of gentleman who
when here, studiously avoided entering in
an argument with them.
As do not desire to handy words with a
man whose position only renders him as it
were respectable, will, if he feels aggriev-

Last night the Negro bill passed the House,
and to-day the Chinese bill went through af-
ter the passage of the latter. Mr.. Sheridan
of Sacramento, moved to strike ont the en-
acting clause.
Yesterday during the debate on the Usury
bill, the following passed between Buel Of
FL Dorado and DeLong Of Yuba:
Buel--When / was in the Western States,
money was worth 3ct' per month
DeLong-The gentleman when he attend
ell the National Convention last fall, knows
there was monetary crisis.
Buel--The gentleman from Yuba is thick
headed aud can't understandable National
Convention was not held last fall.
DeLong Yes! should have remem
bered it. for was one of those who sent him
and he did NOT obey instructions.
Bdel--I know that, am glad of it,
bill passed the House to-day extending
the term of the physicians Of the Luuatic
Asylum The end will! justify tho means,
though the precedent be bad for when n
competent person be found for the position ,
he should never be displaced. All agree that

Gov Weller is out in a States Prison mes

think he will be mistaken in the course
Of year; for he has credited the prisoners
with unrenumeratire labor at prices which
would have to be paid to free laborers, -
They have made money on the principle of
Franklin-that, he who saves money by do

for, makes whatever he would have disbur-
sed. Which is the truth, but does not actq-
ally add to the capital.
Yours, BUTTE.
