1t is favorite motto with some states
men, "the less government, the better"
We believe strongly in self-goyernment.
Not less do we belive in the policy Of
private enterprise, associated under gen.
sral laws, if necessary, to institute and
manage Improvements which are for the
public good. A very marked illustration
Of this point is found in the following
paragraph from the philadelphia cores
pondence of the ". 7. Tribune:
Another great municipal revolution has
been suddenly inaugurated by the action
of the city in voting the removal of the
vast line of market sheds, which, for more
than century, has occupied the center
of Market street, and the erection, by
private companies, of gigantic market
houses at numerous central points
throughout the city. When it was pro-
posed to take away the sheds, cry rose
up demanding to know where the butch
ers and vegetable men were TO be accom-
modated with room, and predicting tina,
. the direst confusion would follow their
destruction. Men became excited at the
bare prospect of being unable to get theiI
dinners, and every form of argument was
invoked in favor of retaining the sheds
But no sooner had their removal been
ordered by thecity, than private enterprises
were organized to supply their places
Extensive sites were purchased in the
densest neighborhoods. great collection:
of old and rickety buildings were demol
ished, and magnificent market houses
have been erected, such as no city in the
world can boast. No sooner were they
ready for use, than the stalls were eagerly
taken at prices which make the enterprise
highly remunerative. Success so decided
in one case has stimulated the erection o.
others, until il is now certain that ou
city will be ten times better accommo
/ dated than ever. These market houses
are really magnificent structures, some o
them containing 800 stalls, fitted up il
the neatest manner with especial refer
euces to the convenience of the selle
and the comfort of the buyer They
are models OF order, ventilation anC
cleanliness. A wedding company nigh

atmosphere ever present in your Wash

stalls, the muddy slime of your pave
ment, the dirt and the rats, are things W
never see. We remember them from
boyhood as the Accompaniment of tn
old sheds, but we neither see, hear no
smell them now. This great change il
our market arrangements is an extraordi
nary illustration Of the superiority of in

Mr.. Z. G. Carpenter. formerly captain Of
the police in this city, returned last Satur-
day from the gold mines, having seen the
elephant to his satisfaction. He worked
the mines twenty-seven days. and realized
little less than fifty cents day. He
visited all of what are called the richest
diggiDgs, and, although he found gold al
all Of them, at DO one Of them was there
suffcientof the precious metal to pay fol-
extracting it. Many had left the mines
and many others were going in, but the
general impression was that the article
was rather scarce. Many were hoping
that rich leads would yet be found, but i
is very certain that, as yet, no rich di2gingl

Buchanan on whisky.

It must be conceded that our worthy Presi-
dent has great versatility of literary talent
Few would have supposed that. amid the
cares of state, he could have found time or
inclination to cast off for u moment the
incubus of that Pacific Railroad. or the linger-
ing "reminiscences of the Ostend Manifesto and
turn his colossal mind to whisky. Yet such
is the fact. Buchanan discourses upon the
refreshing beverage with that brevity which is
the soul of wit; and it will be gratifying
surprise for the readers OF the last Presi-
dental Message to learn that Mr.. Buchanan
can write briefly and to the point.
The facts of the case are these: A firm of
distillers in Pittshurg, Pa. who put up rye
whSlley in ten or one gallon packages sent
TO the White House IA package, with their
compliments. Mr. Buchanan, who never
finches when duty calls. exercised his bibu-
lous powers upon the package. and, moved
by gratitude to the givers of such goods,
penned To them an autograph letter. in which
with tears of gratitude in his eyes, he says:
"Your rye whisky eXcels in mildness and
fine flavor any spirits ever drank
We may imagine the delight of the Pitts
burg dIstillers on the receipt of this message.
They probably skipped about the streets of
the iron city for very joy. clasping the Presi-
dents letter and envelope to their hearts. and
saving to their friends, with Miss Elite,
- nttSc are tue uDcutn''n tS! Ut course they
could not keep their good fortune from the
public. and so their whisky advertisements
in the newspapers are headed with the name
of the President Of thc United States of
America
Nor We're they wrong IN SO doing;for il will
be noticed that the President writes as one
having authority. and not an ignoramus on
the subject. He stands on a whisky platform
he has had precedents and nntecedent~ and
he boldly meets the issue. Observe that be
says this peculiar whisky excels any spirits he
ever tasted before. He is evidently con
loisseur in these beverages. He knows old
Terzenay or Meet from jersey cider. and is
generally up in liquors. He is an
authority ON the subject, his classic letter
will be received as a standard, and "Bueh-
naan on whisky" will 20 down TO post;rity

Death of President Eaton,

1t becomes our painful duty to record the
death of Rev. DR.. Joseph ii. Eaton, President
Of Union University, who departed this life
at his residence in this city on Wednesday
18th inst. 1t would be in vain for us to
attempt TO portray the many excpllencies of
| character which belonged to this truly good
man. He had been at the head of Union
University from the time that it first
established until his death. and that institu-
ton owes much of its present exalted charac-
ter to the wisdom aud prudence Ofhis manage
mcnt. Being profound scholar and pos es-
sed of sound and discriminating Judgment,
together with great iirmness of purpose he
was admirably qualif dior theArdnous dutieof
aposition which he filed for period of above
twenty years with great honor to himself and
the universal satisfaction of the patrons and
students Of the University. He was univer-
sally beloved by the students, and we have
heard it remarked that none ever expressed
any diSpleasure with him. As minister of
the Missionary Baptist ChIrch he welded
vast influence for good. He was not only
beloved by the members of his own Church.
but by everybody who knew him. He pos
sessed eminent talents. which added to his
great suavity of disposition, and unblemished
christiancharacter enabl dhim to domuch good
for the world. He was indeed ian Israelite
in whom there was no guile"
President Eaton was also Jealous advO-
cate OF the temperance cause and labored as-
siduously in it for many years previous to his
DEATH aud through his iustrumcntality many
were led to forsake the intoxicating beverage
and lead life of sobIity and usefulness. As
a private citizen he could not be surpassed
possessing those eminent social qualities
which rendered his company of the most pleas.
ing character. He faithfully discharged alT
his duties Minister Teacher, Husband,
Father and private citizen. and has now gone
to reap his reward in heaven. He has left
wife and three children to mourn their sad
bereavement.
The loss which the Baptist Church. Union
University and the community in which he re-
sided sustain in his death will be difficult to
repair, but his memory will long live in the
hears o. the people. - Rutherford 7slegrlph,

Frauds to an immense extent are said to
have been discovered on the part of private
individuals, who claim real estate in Cali
fornia, under grants. zeal or pretended, from
the Government of Mexico. These claims
excited the attentiof.. If the Government at

giving the right of appeal to the Government
and the ciaimant-frst to the District Court
OF California, and then to the Supreme Court
at Washington. We are now informed that
the result was. the discovery of the most
enormous frauds against the Government
through regularly organized system of per-
jury, which it was supposed TO b. impossible
to defeat.
In February last. Mr. Edwin NJ Stanton, an
able lawyer, and man of the most untring
energy. was sent out to California. as special
counsel, to find ont the matter, and to com
pei the horde of wholesale plunderers TO dis
gorge their ill-gotten prey. He soon sit
about his arduous labors. in furtherance OF
which he obtained the assistance of Col. Della
Tore. and Mr.. Randolph. two able coadjutors.
With snch zeal did Mr. Stanton prosecute the
work. that the crew of fraudulent land-hold-
ers were actually amazed at his audacity, and
hated him most cordially
The following instance of Mr. Stanton s
diligence is given: The Mexican records and
documents relating to the land titles were
scattered in leaves and separate papers all
over the State.-These WIRE COLLECTED by him,
and bound together, forming n arly four hun
dred folio volumes; and so put together that
interpretations were impossible.
One OF the Limantour cases embraced a
claim actually covering nearly the whole OF
the city of San Francisco. with public bnil-
dings estimated at ten millions of dollars,
and private property supposed to he worth
twenty-five millions more. At the hearing OF
the case such had been the skill of Messrs.
Stanton and Della Tore. that the whole OF
the stupcndOus fraud was exposed. and those
who perpetrated it Were covered with shame
and confusion.
The Almedan Mining Company is said to be
another instance of the exposure of gigantic
fraud. 1t consisted of company of Mexican
and British adventures, who laid claim to a
quicksilver mine. said TO be the richest in the
world, in Santa Clara County. And. during
the eight years they worked it, they made nc
less than one million per annum. This
swindie, too, was exposed, and put an end to
by these indefatigable gentlemen.-N T.
