1t was expected that Lieut.. Mowery and

appointed Mr.. James G. G. Kennedy to

1t is we'll asertained fact, known to the
Indian bureau, that very many of the dis
turbanccs are justly attributable to the en- :
croachment of the whites on the reservs-
tons set apart for Indians by the general
government. The whites having once OBJ
tanned possession. there is no way, the U.
S. military forces being small. to dispossess
them. and sometimes. in consequence of
their remaining unlawfully on the soil, new
treaties have to be made with the Indians,
who are thus continually harassed in their
affairs.
Owing to the inadequate number of In
dian agents it has been found impossible

Democratic State COnven-
finn

The day appointed by the Central Com
mlttee for holding the Democratic State
Convention, seems to give general dissat-
isfaction, in all parts Of the State. II has
heretofore been the custom of the party to
hold their Conventions on the 9th Of Janu-
airy, bnt as that day comes on Sunday this
year the Committee selected the Monday
following. A more inconvenient day of
the week could not have been chosen, for
the attendance of delegates. We join in
the general opinion that the Convention
should beheld on later day of the week,
in order to insure full attendance. This
change can be made without areusing any
i'll feelings, and We hope it will be done.

MIsAppLIED.-The Irish comedian
Drew, had box containing five hundred
dollars thrown on the stage to him, by
an enthusiastic admirer, at San Francis
co lately. The donor had better have
given the money to some poor devil
struggling to educate and feed himself
There is no merit in giving to those who
already have enough. Some people may
admire that kind of liberality, but with
us it always excitesunpleasant reflections
painful "reminiscences of city destitu-
ton and misery, of needy merit plead
ing in vain for recognition and assist
ance. Help the poor, oh We rich who
have five hundred dollar gifts to throw
away Embalm your names in the MEM
cries of those struggling geniuses who
might be elevated, by little timely aid
from you, into the niche of fame. Such
benefcence will never harm you, and
may afford you more happiness than the
public bestowal Of purses on those who
do not need them.
We suppose the rich have a right to
use their money in any way they see fit ;
but nevertheless, such bestowal of it,
accompanied by general flourish of
praise and complimentary allusion, al
ways vexes us as though an injustice had
been committed.

WINDMILL IN JERUSALEM

WINDMILL IN JERUsALEM.-The
almost infinite variety of forms in which
philanthrophy exhibits itself excites both
wonder and satisfaction, and inspires
the most exalted hopes with reference to
the future of our race.
Some of these forms are positively
eccentric, for instance the benevolence
of an Englishman named Collet, who
distinguished himself by paying all the
game fines which came to his knowledge,
and now has monument in his honor,
inscribed ''to the memory of the poach-
er's friend" The latest benevolent
freak, if it may be so termed, we find re-
corded in an English paper, of a wealthy
Jew, Sir Moses Monte6ore, who has
caused to be erected at Jerusalem a
solid stone windmill, fifty feet high, fitted
with the best modern machinery brought
from England at great expense and
trouble, for the use of the poorer inhab-
itants of the holy city, who had previous
ly the laborious task of grinding their
corn by hand-mills. During the course
of it's construction, says the Illustrated
London Neacs. it was looked upon with
an evil eye by the millers there, and one
of their head men was sent to curse it.
Before the rainy season set in it was
prophesied that the heavy rains preya-
lent there would wash itaway and, when
the mill was found to have passed
through the stormy season in no way in
jured, it was pronounced to be the work
of Satan. The poor Jews, however, for
whose use and benefit the mill was cree
ted, are loud in their praises of their
benefactor. Ai@

I A CoMpRoM1sE.-We happen to re-
member an instance Of primitive Cali
fornia justice, which may be worth tel
ling. Before the organization of the
State government the only judiciary
known to the country was the old Span
ish officer termed an Alcalde. The
! Americans found it convenient for
time to elect local magistrates under
this title, and thus enjoyed the show Of
legality in the settlement of their dis
putes and the punishment of offences.
On one occasion two parties came before
an Alcalde on the Mariposa river, angri-
| ly disputing about the ownership of some
mining ground One of them was tall,
cowardly fellow who was in the wrong
and would not fight, aud the other was
a short, spunky chap who was in the
right and wanted to fight. The Alcalde
occupied log cabin, and when the con-
testants came before him was lying i'll
in his bunk Without rising he heard
the statements of the parties and their
witnesses, and was about to render a
judgement, when an alteration arose
between the rival claimants, the little
fellow charging the long one with hav-
ing testified falsely, and offering, if he
would only consent to fight him, to give
up the ground without another word.
The tall chap, thinking the bystanders
would interfere if there was chance of
his being worsted, accepted this summary
challenge, and the conflict Immediately
ensued, "Shorty" flying at him "eager
for the fray" The cabin was nearly
filed with spectators, honest miners in
their red and gray shirts and long boots,
some of whom sought to prevent the
battle and separate the combatants. But
the Alcalde, rising from his bunk, OF
"bed Of Justice for the first time, cried
out, -"Hold, gentlemen! For Gods
sake, if the parties wish to effect COM
promise don't prevent them" So the
compromise was soon effected, and Shor=
ty came off victorious. s.s .eoliso

TYRANNY OF PARTY.-The Sonora
Herald thinks, that "the tyranny of
party, as exemplifed in the action of
majorities is every day becoming more
odious with the intelligent portion of
the American people" Perhaps it is,
but it seems to be growing more absolute
with the masses. The dicta of conven-
tions are more potent oftentimes than
constitutional requirements, and venal
politicians have more influence, even
with the intelligent, than pure minded
patriots can generally command. We
do not wish there were no parties, be-
cause that would be absurd. Unanimi-
ty of opinion will ever be an impossible
ity on earth, and where there are no
bold outspeaking parties there will be
despotism. The more parties the bet
ter for liberty and the cause of general
enlightenment. But every lover of his
country and race must wish that men
did not become so blinded to principle
and worship the object that embodies or
represents it, or which claims to do So
There is something good in all parties,
political or otherwise, and but for this
slavish subservience to mere forms and
organizations, men might exercise wise
eclecticism in the choice of their creeds
and rulers.
Perfect freedom of individual opinion
is incompatible with partizan require
ments, and that man is to be distrusted
who always agrees with his party.
Therefore, all who value their private
integrity shun the contact of political
intriguers and scheming selfsts, who's Sc
clever knowledge of affairs and silen-
cling volubility ofgab extort from vulgar
minds the praise which is due only to
honest craftsmanship.
There is little use in lamenting and
reprobating the tyranny of party. 1t
has been prolific theme of satire and
condemnation in every age and every
country, where difference of opinion did
not constitute treason; yet it still exists.
The radical cause of it in our boosted
land Of liberty is the ignorance of the
masses. Remove this, and party organ
ization can be purified and made noble
instrument for securing the triumph of
principle There would not be, then,
that fatal Indifference which keeps the
majority of honest men away from the
primary meetings and conventions, leav-
ing all power in the hands of corrupt
minority.

TRUE WIT.

1t has often been asserted that true
wit is allied to tears. Certain it is, that
grief and laughter draw from the same
fountain, -that the eyes which soonest
suffuse at tale of sorrow will glisten
through merry moisture at wit and hui
NOR; just as the sun shines brightest
through spring showers, over dripping
bushes and jewelled grass.
True wit, again, is intimately allied to
humor. Let us distinguish them. Wit
is the keen observer who brings apt i'm
ages and striking comparisons to the
brilliant illustration of thought, just as
mingled rays Of light produce color ;
whilst humor is the good-natured, jolly
companion who laughs at what is odd
or incongruous, and rejoices in the ludi-
crous, the absurd and the eccentric
Wit may be termed the flashing cataract,
and humor the many tinted bow that
spans it, Each is the natural enemy of
wickedness, meanness, error and folly !;
but their modes of attack are different,
for wit hurls at its foe sharp lance,
which is sometimes poisoned, while hui
NOR smothers its foe in ridicule, or tic
kles it to death with a feather.
Swift illustrates the one and Addison
the other.
True wit, once more, is ever benefi-
cent, and this is its noblest characteris-
tic. Its mission is higher than the
Staying of any evil or contemplate
thing; it is the discovery and alienation
of want, and suffering, and all the
nameless griefs that make up human
wretchedness. If true wit discerns
these, she does more than set them in
brilliant verse, for the entertainment of
comfortable people; she begets hearty
sympathy which results in ameliorating
deeds. She inspires an absolute scorn
of meanness, and pretence, and folly,yet
tempers it to charity with laugh.
Such bcnefcent wit characterizes the
productions Of many English and a few
American writer's; it constitutes the
special charm of Lamb, Hood, Dickens,
Jerrold, Sydney Smith, and Holmes,
not to mention host of inferior wits
1t finds its latest exponent in William
Allen Butler, whose Nothing to Wear"
has touched the heart of whole people,
and raised up motley crowd of chant
ing imitators
Oh, rare faculty. that wreathes the
face with smiles, yet foods the eyes with
tears, touching alike, with exquisite art,
the secret places where mirth and pa

CoNsULT TAsTE.-The editor Of the
Sishiyou Chronicle urges Californians
to consult taste more than they do in the,
erection of their dwelling houses. He
thinks people when they go about to
build domicils, should initiate the divine
order of nature, who is so tremendously
exact in all her forms. Good taste, he
says, can be consulted without addition
al expense, and our adopted State might
thus be made as famous for its elegant
homes as it is already for the wealth OF
its mines and the fertility of its soil.
We sympathise with these ideas, for
we believe that the beautiful is too much
neglected by our utilitarian countrymen.
A mans home should be his only tenn
pie, sanctifed by all those lovely ada
juncts of harmonious form, tasteful fur
niture and verddrous surroundings
which not only please the senses but
improve the morals. -

SHOW THE PAGE-Periodically the
newspapers grace their columns with
marvellous stories about men with
tails, hairless men, white Indians, and
white Negroes. The latest wonder Of
this kind is the reported discovery, in
the interior of Africa, of Germanic race
with blue eyes and light hair, thought
to be descendants of the ancient Car
thaginians. They are said to be polyg-
amous, to be ruled by females, which is
very likely, and to hold the neighbor-
ing blacks in slavery.
Commenting on this subject the Sac
ramento Register observes:
"Africa was supposed until recently,
to be inhabited wholly by black races,
but DR.. Livingstone discovered a people
perfectly achite quite in the interior,
possessing quite a refined cioizization.'
Show us the chapter and page for
that last assertion, neighbora The first
about its being supposed that Africa was
inhabited solely by black races, you
must know, on reflection, is erroneous.
