The REG1srER's CONSISTENCY. Register "runs
riot" and is rampant over several gentlemen now
acting with the Democratic party, who were once
Wings; and yet the same paper, in the next column
of the same issue, recognizes Mr.. McRae, formerly
a Democrat, as one Of its party, and endeavors to
coax over to its ranks Messrs. aVenable and AIRING
ton. This is of the specimens of the Register's
consistency; another is, that the Editor Of that pa

to the distribution party and yet he charges others

FOR GOVERNOR:
HON. JOHN w. ELLIS,
OF ROWAN.
Hon. John w. Ellis.
OF ROWAN.


Tho Democratic candidate for Governor, John w.
Ellis is in the vigor of manhood, being in his asth
o,, He was born in Davidson County, in Novem-
ior 1920. He graduated at the University Of North
c.ro,;na and afterwards read law under Judge
Pearson.
Ua fret met him in the Democratic State Conven-
.;,n Of 1874, which nominated Col. Michael Hoke
sr Governor. In response to general call of the
convention, he made speech on that occasion, in
,;ndcation of Democratic principles, and especially
urene party organization, which produced highly
favorable impression and gave promise of the dis
t,ctiop which he has since achieved. We remem-
he, well the occasion, the speech, and the appear
.nce and bearing of the man. In 1874, after an an
mated contest, he was elected to the House of Com
mons from the County of Rowan and he continued
70 serve in the House until ls4s when he elect
cd Judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equi-
~ In 1916 he was member OF the Democratic
State Committee. We had the honor of serving with
him in the House of Commons in 1846-the celebra
ted "preamble session when to be a Democrat
was to be tried in the fires of persecution and ma
leyolence, and when principles were still more
clearly defined, and our organization strengthened,
bV that wholesome adversely winch now anu tueu
overtakes all majorities in free States. Judge Ellis
acquitted himself with credit during this, as we'll as
during the first and last sessions which he served;
and ne went from the Commons to the bench, the
first Democrat who had for years been elected
Judge His decided personal popularity was shown
both in his election to the Legislature and to the
Judseship; for Rowan was considered rather Wing
than Democratic County from 1874 to ls4s, and
the Legislature of ls4s was, it is we'll known, near
ly if not perfectly balanced
Judge Ellis is thoroughly acquainted with State
affairs, and we'll posted in national politics. Inter-
nal improvements and Common Schools will, we feel
sure, find in him a steady and active friend.
He will resign his Judgeship at the close of the
ensuing week, having concluded Northampton Court
and he would doubtless have resigned at once but
for the fact that-a the other Judges being their
circuits-no one could be spared to take his place
We take it for granted he will canvass the State, and
we think probable he will appear before the people
by the 10th or 18th of May Wepredict that he will
produce the most favorable impression wherever he
goes, by his ability and eloquence and that the great
body the people from the seashore to the mountains,
will rally to him with an enthusiasm and oneness
of purpose which will overwhelm all opposition.

ent; the temof transporting them from San
Francisco to San Quentin, itself, amounts to
quite sum. Then, again the prisoners could
be very much more pro6taby employed at
Folsom, whereby the State would be largely
benefited in pecuniary point of view It's
also notorious that at San Quentin the accom-
modations are not sufficient to contain and
properly classify the prisoners, and that the
locality is not near so well situated to prevent
escapes.
1t will be consulting economy, and all 9th

of the prison at Folsom; and it is to be hoped
that the Legislature will take prompt action

EDS. LEDeER:-If you would like to see
one of the liveliest camps in the State, just
come down here, and you will be gratifed.-
All doubt in regard to the richness of the
diggings has vanished, after a seven weeks
trial The claims here not only pay well but
the paying ground is as extensive as could be
wished. The greater number Of claims are
worked with sluices; the top dirt, from one
to four feet deep only being washed. There
are several deep claims being worked and the
ground in many places is well situated for a
hydraulic. Bed rock is rather hard to find,
as in the town. wells have been sunk eighty
feet deep and no bed rock yet. All the way
down good prospects were obtained, showing
plainly that it would pay to wash from the top
down if they had tail race. 1t is now in
contemplation to dig race from the river to
the fiat on which the town is, to be partly
tunnel and partly open cut Such an enter
prise would pay well as the hume would
catch great deal of gold that is now lost
That much of what is now put in the sluices
is not saved is doubtless true, as one company,
of good miners, go. Sl5 to one pan Of tail
ings at the foot of their sluices and that too
when but little gold was obtained in the low
est rifles.
cannot give you anything definite as to
the average pay that the miners get; but |
do know of those who have made as high
as SlT day, and Of those who have divided
fraction over five dollars day to the man,
after all expenses of grub and water were
paid; you know the difficulty of getting hold
Of mems names in new camp, were it not
for this l would give you the particulars
think fair average of wages could be set
down as $4 day.
There is an immense tract Of good mining
ground still below here that is without water,
but will not remain so long; so this is bound
to be lively section for years, as those who
are not fortunate in mining will be employed
in ditch building.

Jackson Valley, improvements, Or
chards, Vineyards, Crops &c.

Eds. Ledger.-Respected Sirs; / heard
voice from Jackson Valley saying unto me
"write" 1t was the voice of nature. The
citizens are too modest, of this beautiful glen,
to make such request. And, as your tray
cling agent never favors that valley with
visit as / am informed, (and allow me here
to whisper in your ear if he should he would
be kindly entertained and venture he would
get new subscribers to your paper, for they
are a reading people,) the rapid and perma-
nant improvements of the valley progress
unnoticed and unheralded Therefore the val
ley lifts up its voice to the passer-by "write"
of my glory, and let me vie with my sister
valley lone in fame as l certainly do in merit
And if it was not for my characteristic mod
esty l would be clamorous for superiority in
fame, which all dsinterested visitors accord
to me as a verify.
These were the acclamations of this valley
as rode and walked, not long since, over
its greenly carpcted bosom. And l must
confess, in my opinion, the valley is not vain
glorious, or without claims upon public
notice. The Agrculturists and Horticultu-
rists of this valley say they lay claim to you
Jacksonians as kin" folks, being named, as
they are, after you.
They also say if you will continue to send
down through their valley the fertiizng wa
ters Of Jackson Creek, you may change the
name, in two or three years, of Jackson Val
ley and call it jackson Gardens, from which
you can be supplied with all the delicacies
which grow in the ground, on trees and vines.
Two years ago, and this portion of the
valley of which speak, and which embra-
ees twelve hundred acres of land, choice bot
tom land, was owned by two men, Stone and
Mines
The same tract is now titled by sixteen en-
terprising men. Men of families. This is
the great secret of the great Improvements
made there in the last twelve months.

several fine orchards had been set out. "He
who plants tree is a benefactor of man.
j. ID. Mason we are told has set out some
four hundred fruit trees, Consisting in part
of Apple, Peach, Nectarine, Pear Plum,
Cherry Apricot, Ounce &c.
Rev. p Y. Cool we were also informed
has been engaged in the same business. He
has put out some three hundred fruit trees
consisting of the varieties above mentioned.
In addition to these he has out large quan.
tity of berries Such as Strawberries, Rasp-
berries, Gooseberries, Currants &c.
Also vineyard Of two acres of Los Ange-
les grapes.
Messrs Scudder, Joyner, McMurry, d. b.
and j. A. Hickey Dilan and Others have
been beautifying their places with fruit trees
and vines. The citizens of this valley have
not forgotten the "staif of life;" they have
an abundance of wheat growing which
looks very promising indeed Mr.. Sollars
has one hundred acres of wheat in, and 9TH
