ERRONEOUS ESTIMATE PRoBABLY.-In his Mag
azine, Mr. Hutchngs expresses belief that three
fourths proportion of all gold contained in ground
washed by sluices is lost more correctly stating,
he asserts /" that more than three ffihs of the gold
washed through the sluices of the miner, passes
out unsaved." If it passes through, it is proba-
bly, all lost, but not quibbling on construction,
we take the evident meaning. We once spent a
good deal of time and money in constructing a
gold saver at the lower end Of a sluce in a rich
claim. The last box was closely perforated with
small holes-large enough to let sand, gold par
ticles and sufficient water through to box I'M
derneath containing quicksilver the lar
ger refuse passed ont with the main body Of wa
ter. The quicksilver box was kept in motion by
n water wheel at the lower end Of the sluice.-
The fixture ran three days, after which the quick
silver about six pounds-was carefully eXamin-
ed by retort, and .fftY cents 'rortb Of amalgam
was discovered. Now had any great proportion
Of gold passed that way. some must have been
intercepted by the seivc besides, " color" could
not be discovered at the discharging place once
in half dozen trials
From this, and other experiments, We conclude
that our friend is rather cXtravagant in calcu-
lation.

GoNG TO DRAW OuT or THE USIoN.-Reacot-
ing men will laugh very long and loud at jour
nalists who assert that because the Pacific Rail
road failed, California will pout and leave the
family of States. Such conduct looks like that
of the boy -lubber who, because he was denied
"claw- hammer coat" absconded from his mo-
thcr. Ordinary reflective powers have never en-
abled us to hope that the recent Congress-talk
would move a spade in construction OF that mag
niGeent and necessary enterprise We do not be-
lieve that even the person who depended on ad-
vocacy Of that measure for popularity. ever, for
one moment, entertained beginning of belief that
the proposition would be matured within five
years. Nor have the people been deceived, nor
even suggest the possibility of secession. They
will boot at and deride persons who talk Of sew

INTEGRITY OF THE SUPREME CoURT.-Any in
dividual or journal, unjustfably endeavoring to
destroy confidence in public tribunal, is either,
by ignorance or design, an enemy of the public
peace. A number of independently speaking
journals are now induced to censure the Supreme
Court because of a tr1ng circumstance. For a
long time particular money making firm have
been permitted the first print Of Supreme Court
decisions these papers have extended their
newspaper beyond its journal desert they were
printed for that puipose, ly private enterprise;
the reports were re printed in book form, and a
second time made profitable. But the Court was
under no obligation to furnish any publisher
with the manuscripts on the day of rendering ;
the act was entirely one of personal favor, which
might be transferred to another individual with
ont the shadow Of wrong doing or might be re-
fused altogether without violation OF personal
right None but Ounce would suppose that the
persons in question would have published the
opinions, if their publication had not been found
remunerative. Now the Court has seen fit to
transfer a gratuitOus personal favor to another
person, and to cease gratifying the avarce OF a
nifty Of scandalizing and defamng the party from
which the continuance of gratuity is implored
This, and this only, is the offence Of the Judges
Of the Supreme Court, and on account Of which
disintcrestcd journalists foolishly and wrougfully
censure an act which is entirely defensible.
In every State it is the established custom for
officers in possession Of gratuiies to think first
of members of the party that put them in place;
no man OF sense will deny the propriety Of CON
lormity with this custom. What then could in
ducc court elected by democrats to favor a
republican newspaper at expense Of another
journal whose democracy is unqucstioncd When
the Know Nothings were in power, did any demo
crat receive the slightest benefit? And did any
respectable and selfrcspeCting democrat com
plain of the bereavement?
We maintain that according to all precedent,
and in exact conformity with what all parties
recognize as justice and propriety, the Supreme
Court have done right in their discrimination
between a friend and an enemy, and that the
censure endured from disinterested persons has
been contemplate and unworthy Of any consd-
Grafton They have acted in conformity with the
usages of parties, nor have they withheld aught
OF justice from an opponent whom, we doubt not,
they. as intelligent men, must despise as mcr-
cenary guerrilla, begging dinner in return for
which it would gladly cut its beneiactor's throat.
