Editors Portage County Democrat:
S have just finished reading q lengthy and
very Hattering Report of the present yielding
of the gold mines of the Rocky mountains:
and have come to the conclusion that three
fourths Of the statements made, are false
For instance, this report states that gulch
claims are being sold daily. and during the few
intervening days. before possession is given as
high as one hundred dollars per day has been
offered for the privilege of working them; and
refused. Now claim own the richest claim
In Nevada Guich, for the reason, that during
the past season. il has yielded more gold thar
any other. gulch. and also know what the
other claims have paid, and tell the truth
when say. wouldn't give ten dollars day
for the use of q claim, as good as the Who'll.
will average.
Now, what, and how much can man be-
lieve Of these reports, letters, &c. say, be-
lieve as little as you can. Many, find, ar'
yet skeptical in regard to gold being at tn
mountains, in paying quantities, and l presum
many are in the same fix, 10 Portage County
think lam not exsggerating when say, thai
/ believe Pixies Peck mines will prove equa
= or superior 10 any California mines hav
known Of For. all miners from Californi
agree that ihe qparlz is richer, and more thai
ten times the amount of paying quartz tina
that State ever saw. Then all we want
e capitalists TO bring on their quartz mills, an
"a make their millions, while at the same time,
q will pay quariz owners most Iiberally, and ais
the working man Eve dollars per day. Neve
fear, hope 10 i,e able 10 give YOU some NOR
facts as they are. and until then
sf Believe me, Yours, 1'rnly.

ANOTHER RAILWAY MuRDER.-The telegraph
informs us that by the washing away Of a cul.
vert on the Michigan Southern Railroad yester-
day, the cars were precipitated from the track,
and thirty or more persons killed. We take oc-
casicn in view Of this terrible slaughter, to re-
new CUR protest against the cant which terms
such otc4'y' noes accidents. Almost invariably
they arc Eui occidents in any innocent sense of
the word. They are caused by the neglect Of en-
ployes, or by mistaken spirit of economy on
the part Of the managers Of the ROAD spirit
which, as in the case Of recent accident" on the
Central, causes the sacrifice of two or three
lives in order to save paltry dollar or two for
the pay Of switchman And this petty meanness
is the work of men who spend thousands of dollars
in the lobby at Albany and elsewhere, and roll
in the wealth which they aggregate by the cor.
ruption Of our rulers. The law should oblige
railway managers to provide sufficient force
of railway guards to warn any train of break
OF accident to the road. With such force, and
double tracks (Which alec should be made OBJ
lgatory), such accidents" as we are daily
called upon 10 chronicle never would happen.
Until the companies join to secure the safety Of
their passengers they should be prosecuted in
divduaily and collectively, civilly aud crimi-
nally, to the extreme limit Of the existing law.

terrific authority pounces upon the street waik-

l0sophers have been much exercised rpon the
liquor question. We have in this city sone
twelve thousand persons directly engaged Ia the
liquor business With view to regulate the
traffic, we have an excise law, under which
yearly licenses are Issued to persons of whvu
the Commissioners approve. Last year Some
TX hundred licenses were granted, and so Ew
this year less than one hundred. Yet the
other eleven thousand and ODD may sell
liquor freely and openly on every day
except Sunday. Then the shops mast
be ostensibly closed We say ostensibly, be-
cause 1t is idle to pretend that liquor selling
was not quite as free in this city on last Sunday
as on last Monday. Some front doors were closed,
but in almost every case there was back door,
ana ple ntly OF liquor for all Corners. The Ger
mans and Others of our foreign population, spent
their Sabbath ia their usual manner Whether
they or the SabbatariaDs are right we do not pre-
tend to say. 1t rs not worth while to split hairs
about distractions when we have to deal with hard
facts. And these facts are, 6rst that it is matter
of doubt whether or not Sunday is legally day
O abstention; the burden of proof, in fact, goes
to show that what is right and proper on one
day is right and proper on another, and that the
law for Sunday is the law for Monday, and vice
verso; and, second, that none of these violent
remedies applied occasionally, and then dropped,
will ever cure social diseases. Much better for
the Sabbatarians if they should join in an effort
to provide cup Of cold water for the thirsty Pc
destrian, and Sunday railway facilities whereby
the over worked artisan may give his wife and
children rOmp in the green fields and breath
of the fresh country air.

The JAPANESE AMBASSADOR Nor COMING

Japan was expected to have arrived with his suite
at this port by either Of the last two California
steamers; but it appears from our japan cores

February next. So thai the ladies of New York,

THE DOUGLAS MANIFEsro-A SOUTHERN Oppo
snIoS VIEw-The Richmond WAig In the course
Of lengthy commentary on the recent popular
sovereignty manifesto of Mr.. Douglas, says:-
Our own belief is that Douglas will be compelled to co
operate with the conservative opposition OF the country In

either fro; The called national democracy fro the
black republicans lie distrused hated and feared oy

next contest and which likely 10 hold the
reirs Of government for years to come.
This is somewhat overstrained view of the
matter Mr.. Douglas must first be detached from
the democratic party before the conservative
opposition party " can undertake the business of
en- alliance with him; and as his exact position
will depend upon the proceedings Of the Charles.
ton Convention, the conservative opposition -
would do well to leave him out of their calcula-
tons Mr. Douglas has lately made the tour of
the Southern States, and has doubtless thus dis
covered that his nomination at Charleston is out

his political character to suppose that bis recent

New YORK AND New SourH WALEs-A POLITE
CAL PARALLEI.-The provincial Parliament OF
New South Wales having been dissolved by the
Governor. General, just previous to the time up
to which our latest dates frsm that colony ex-
tend, a review of the doings and a sketch of the
character Of that body are given in the Sydney
Herald Of the 18th of April. The article is par
icularly noteworthy as showing many striking
points Of coincidence between Australian and
American legislative bodies. According to our
Sydney namesake, the House had been sitting for
more than twelve months without having before
it single measure which could require any con,
siderable elaboration, and yet the country had
been disgusted, day after day, and week after
week, with the same wearying round Of empty
discussion, recrimination and inanity."
Is not this counterfeit presentment of New
York Legislatures and American Congresses, by
whom the whole period of session, though not
enduring for twelve months, is usually FILTERED
away in empty discussion, recrimination, poll
teal ppelaying and schemes for public plumber |?
Our Legislative history for many years past
fully answers to the description given of the last
parliamentary session of New South Wales
Our antipodean contemporary then goes on to
the consideration OF the question whether there is
any probability of superior class Of mH obtain
ing seats at the ensuing election; and the result
at which it arrives is far from cheering, because
it says-and here the parallel between the two
countries is complete-''all experience shows
kat in colonies voting is chiefly confined to the
lower classes, and that, either from criminal in
difference or despair, the rest for the most part
withdraw from toe political arena" We have
but to substitute tho word States for colonies,
and the remark will apply with great truth and
fidelity TO ourselves.
Further on We find it observed that there has
beea startling manifestation Of The growth Of

Latest News from the Wharf.-The Austrians
SIM Falling Back Behind the blincio.
The news from the seat Of war by the Arabia
which arrived at Halifax at noon yesterday,
reports no further movements of decisive cha
racter. The Austrians were still retreating
towards their strongholds-the fortified cities OF
Verona, Mantua, Peschiera and Legnano-w which,
with the line of the Mincio on the west, com
prise the boundaries of the famous strategic
square. At last accounts they had abandoned
their temporary position on the Oglio, and
were falling back rapidly to the stronger
one behind the Mincio.. Louis Napoleon
meantime was concentrating his army for
decisive action, and great battle was ex-
pected. 1t is not difficult to predict where that
action is to be fought Presuming that the Aus
TRANS have withdrawn in force a hshiqd the TIE
garrisons of Pavia, Piacenza and the intermediate
points have retired upon the main army, the
conflict may be looked for on the Mincio, which
will bring the scene Of war to the strategic
quadrangle, where the contest will doubtless be.
come terrible and bloody, and, possibly, a final
one.

pleting the formation of the new Cabinet, which
comprises Lord John Russell as Foreign Secre-
tMy, together with Golden, Gladstone, Miner
Gibson, and Lords Elgin and Granville, it is not
unlikely that after the next great battle is fought
proposals of peace will be submitted by Eng
land to the beligerent Powers. We are inclined
to think, however, that the proposition will meet
with doubtful success.
A great naval demonstration by the French
feet in the Adriatic was in preparation, most
probably on Venice, with view to cut off the
connection of the Austrians from the railroad to
Vienna, which passes through that city.
Though the Arabia brings no news of any i'm
portant action, the intelligence received by her
sufficiently indicates the direction the war is
taking, and ioreshadows its probable results.
