THx RsAsey WHy.-Manv Of on

THE REAseS Why. Many Of our
coiemporaries Of the Administration
stripe indicate a decided preference
for Daniel S. Diekinso n, of New York
as the nominee of their party for the
next Presidency. and some Of them
90 so far as to express the belief that
he will be the fortunate man al
Charleston. It seems to us tn at Dick.
inson. far from being even among the
most prominent, has not tn, ghost of
a chance for nomination in 1861
IF he be nominated it will be because
the Charleston Convention is led to
believe be can carry. some important
but doubtful state. either New York
or Pennsylvania. In the latter he has
no extraordinary popularity and will
not therefore be put forth on account
Of his power in that state. His chan
ces Of carrying New York are quite as
good. perhaps better. II nominated
his friends in his native state will
make every effort to carry it for him,
and these efforts will, if the last Pres
idential election be a criterion, lose
the State of Pennsylvania to the par
ty to certainty. The Importation
of fraudulent votes TO Philadelphia
which disgraced the election Of 1856,
will cease,-the votes being needed
every one of them, at home. The
hope of carrying either Of these great
States honestly in the present dis
tracted state Of the Democratic par
ty is too faint to allow of the nomina-
ton of Dickinson. Pennsylvania is
easier carried than New York by the
assistance of the votes Of New York
city bummers. The Keys tone State
must be the battle ground of the par
ty. The interests of the party are too
intimately connected with the action
Of the Pennsylvanians in the next
contest.to allow a conflict between the
State pride of New York and those
interests which would result from
Dickinson's nomination. The poll
ticians will see to it that nominee is
put forth who will allow assistance
to be given the great State most like
ly to be carried-the assistance
which was rendered in 1856 to Penn
sylvania.

TIT FOR TAT.-Our Administration
friends are giving the Republicans
"goss" for the proscriptive clause in
in the Massachusetts Constitution
which reads as follows:
mo person of foreign birth shall
be allowed to vote, por shall he be
eligible to office, unless he shall have
resided within the jurisdiction of the
State for two years subsequent to his
naturalization, and shall be otherwise
qualified according to the Constitu-
ton and laws of the Commonwealth -
Some people seem to be singularly
oblivious 10 the fact that the State OF
South Carolina has the same princi-
pie incorporated in her Constitution
incorporated and retained to this
day by the same Democratic party
which has always been dominant IN
that State.

1853. A meeting ofthe stockholders
is called to assemble at Plum Valley
on the I'd of November to effect pre-

Mn. EDtroR "A scrap having its
origin with thcseditor Of the Red Bluff
Beacon, having met my notice in the
Nevada Democsas, i feel called upon
to reply to the gross abuse of myself
t.erein contained. especially as have
taken up my abode for the present
among strangers whose good opinions
l Ihope to merit and gain. The para
graph from the Democrat / give:
IA SCAMP calling himself v. W.
Cleveland. has recently outraged the
people of Red Bluffs by departing for
some other locality. leaving sundry
bills unpaid. The Beacon says he
left for Nevada on hunting expedi-
tion. He is after a poker game"
The cause Of the abuse of the ed
itor of the Beacon I am going to re-
late. I contracted bill with the
Beacon editor Of $S. A brother-in. !.
law Of this editor traded with mo to
the amount of IS. As he was work.
ing in the Beacon Office proposed to
settle by offsetting this amount. This
the editor refused to do being better
posted on the honesty Of his relations
than l was when / credited one of
them. I. partly on account of a plen-
tiful lack of cash at the time, and
partly becauseI believed my propo-
sal nothing but fair and honorable'
refused to settle on any other terms.
Mr.. Fisher the editor wrote to me at
San Francisco threatning to do what
he has done unless l paid his bill at
once. / replied by offering my first
proposal. The abusive course of the
Beacon and the second-fddle conduct
of the Democrat explains the rest.
I would ask place for the above
statement of facts in order to vindi-
cate my character from the aspersions
of unprincipled wretches.
Yours Very Truly.

ABDuCTioN.-Louise Paullin, the
little girl so well known upon our
stage as "Little Eva" in Uncle Ton. s
Cabin, was run away with yesterday
morning by fellow named George.
Selby who for some time past had
been working as q servant for Mr..
Paullin the actor met with SO serious
an accident some months ago, and
has been unable to leave his bed since.
1t seems thas the girl was seen on
board the Uncle Sam with a bundle.
She was afterwards observed to throw
the bundle ashore and then rush
ashore herself. 1t is presumed that
Selby told her to be on board, that he
had purchased ticket for her. but in
the crowd she probably could not
find him, and thinking he was not on
the vessel, concluded to 90 to the
Sonora. lying at Folsom st. wharf.
Whether she succeeded in reaching
the Sonora in time, is question which
must be answered in the negative
for the latter steamer sailed almost
Immediately after tbe Uncle Sam.
Our opinion is that she is still in the
city. Ifso, and this meets her eye,
we tell her to go back to her parents
at once, or she will rue the day that
led her away from them. She will
have nothing to dread from going back
in time, but II she hesitates, she is lost,
and an ocean Of tears will not wash
away her misery, or quench the burn
ings that will gnaw perpetually at her
heart. Let her return and be received
with open arms by ber anxious father,
who yesterday. in the agony of his
sorrow, when he learned of the elope-
ment of his much loved daughter. at
tempted to rise from his couch and
thereby injured himself badly.-Na-

~ There is a ciass of journals
whose especial business seems to be
to pick up and parade every stray
case of intermarriage in the north
ern States of the black and white
races, every instance of abuse Of
o negro, and every example how
ever rare of northern man selling
negro slaves. to whom he had fallen
heir. instead of setting them at liber-
ty. We can scarcely pick up one Of
the journals of this class without
meeting . cock-and-bull-story of the
Kind. accompanied by long homily
full Of exclamation points, on the de.
moralization and base hypocrisy of a
majority of the people of great sec
ton of the Union. To our mind moth
ing could be more unfair or meanel
than to attempt to establish charac.
ter for millions of people based upon
the actions of few individuals who
happened to be born among them
For one we detest it. We do not be-
lieve that Legru {what's the name OF
the Arkansas brute in Uncle Toms
Cabin y should stand as the type Of
the southern Shareholder. Nor does
any sensible man we have ever met.
Yet such a standard would be quite
as Just and true as that attempted to
be set up by some pinks Of chivalry
that we know Of. by which majori-
ty ofthe people of the northare to be
judged.
The Sacramento Standard, in its
issue Of Tuesday, reads a terrible
lecture on the baseness Of the north
crn people, because the. heirs at law
of deceased slaveShold er, sold the
property in slaves instead of libera
sine them according to the wish of
the deceased. The case, we are
quite willing to admit. is an infamous
one if true; but to malign millions for
the acts Of few unprincipled wretch
es,xho are found iu other parts of the
world az the columns of the Standard
show-why. you may as justly az
tempt to get an idea of the New Tes-
lament from the writings for that pa
per. or tire craftsmanship of Webster
from the narrow, prejudiced mind of
Bolts.

SCHILLER FgsTIvALs.-In most OF
the important cities Of tho Union the
countrymen If Schiller are prepar-
ing to celebrate the centennial ami
versary of his birth on the 10th of
November. A brief sketch of tie
leading incidents of the immortal po-
cts life may not prove uninteresting
to our readers.
Friedrich Schiller was born at Mar
bach in Wurtemberg. His studies
were first shaped for the priesthood ::
but the Duke of Wurtemberg, in
whose service was SchiIler's father.
having established a school of militia
ry science and the law. it was deem
ed impru6ent to refuse tEe invitation
Of the Duke to young Schiller to be-
come a student in the establishment.
and he was accordingly entered
The studies were dry and inattractive
to the future poet, and his student life
became irksome. Medicine being i'm
troduced as branch Of study, Schil-
Ter gladly embraced it as a relief
from worse evils, though having no
taste for the profession.
AT the age of is he began the IA
nous drama entitled 1.-The Robbers
"a production which gave him i'm
mediate celebrity throughout Europe.
Going without leave to see his play
enacted. he was put under arrest by
the Duke, who also presumed to pass
censure upon Schiller's literary ef-
fort. The tyranny of the Duke the
young writer could no longer endure,
and he secretly retired from his SER
vice. Soon after "Fiesco" and
"Cabal and Love" made their ap-
pearance, afterwards followed by
Mary Stewart" Joan of Arc"
don Carlos" bride of Messina"
Nv allenstein" and William Tell. :"
Ballad writing occupied a year or
two of Schiller's life. By the infiu-
ence of Goethe, he became Profess
sor of History at jena. He wrote
"Revolt in the Netherlands" and
History of the 80 years war;
historical works Of the first order.
Schiller was granted patent of
nobility in 1902, by the emperor of
Germany. three years before his
death, which took place in May.lso5.
As poet he is more popular among
his eountrymen than the more pro-
found Goethe. Schiller has the in
nocence of child. The chasteness
of his language can never be i'm
peached. The goodness of his large
heart is ditfused through all his writ
ings. His character might stand for
the model of the youth of the world
1t was the wish of his life to see all
happy. He had no ambition. He
wrote for the pleasure it gave him,
and never ceased from his literary Ia
bors though for the fifteen last years
of his life he was never free from
pain.
Schiller died at the early age OF
46, having returned i'll from seeing
his own "William Tell" enacted on
the stage.

THAT's RlGHT.-The Sierra Citi
zen hits the nail On the head when it
says:
"Our platform will be what it has
been, and what the exigeneies of the
day demand. We will re-affir,n our
time houored principles-forsaking
none-and pledge anew, on the alter
of our party. hostility to the black
heresies of Republieanism. and con-
tinued fidelity to the best interests of
the whole people Of our common
country
That's right--stick for the aits, u

Honey Lake in Calyornia.-The
Plumas Argus says the observations
made by Mr.. Kirk, Wagon Road Sur

of Col. Lander, leave no room to
doubt that Honey Lake lies west of
the 120th parallel of West Longi-
tude and consequently within the
limits of the State.

"Partxrixnt monies, nascetar r'd'cE-
As nxs."
The mouutsin has groaned indeed.
and brought forth a mouse. After
weeks of mortal agony over the seaa-
sorial vacancy. Governor Weller, in
the plenitude Of his power, and ont Of
his superabundsnt, wisdom, has made
a Senator to warm the seat of Mr.,
Broderick. At least such is the ru-
NOR which needs bat the lapse of a
few hours from this writing for con-
frmation. He is no Senator in horn.
ihough when We come to mention the
name Of the lucky one, many may
think It sounds very much like it,
He may. for aught we know to the
contrary, be the brother or son of the
patriotic Dutchman whom the Gov
srnor lachrymosely describes dying
smiling on the field of battle in Mexi-
co, whose sainted form and features
were astistically given in this paper
some months ago. Ifso. it is the on
" near claim the new Senator has to
renown, and if SO we can wonder no
longer at the choice of the Governor
who possibly chooses a Senator as he
wsuld q horse from the distinction of
blood.
Gentlemen, taciturn, and grave |!
The signs of the times indicate that
the senatorial toga is about to be worn

How long ago this senatorial seed

Drawn from the stem of some Teutonic stud"
how many fruit trees he cut down with
his little hatchet when an urchin; how
many winters have frosted his locks ;
how like Achilles in the field, or Nes-
Tor in counsels he has been; how dis
interested his services to his country;
and above all, how long and how te-
naciously he has clung through thick
and through thin to the regular Dem
ocratic organization, standing conf
dinghy under the outrageous foliage
of tha: lofty and spreading Demo-
cratic tree in whose topmost boughs
the great American eagle has roasted
for centuries; how. out of pure love
for its venerated shade, Judge Haun
has firmly Kept his place while the
storms have beat, the thunder rolled
