Pixies Peak.

We have heretofore claimed that Pixies
Peak gold discoveries were principally
humbug, and we are almost daily re-
ceiving proof of it. Mr.. John Pember-
ton, Of Iowa Point, a gentleman well
known in these parts, who went with
company from that place in the Fall,
has written home, stating that they have
prospected extensively, and have failed
10 find anything that viii pay. He as
much as declares that the gold discover
les are all humbug. We have also heard,
but cannot vouch for the truth of the
statement, that late news has been recei-
we'd from the Company, to the effect that
they were about to return home.
A Mr.. Forbes, of Holt county, Mis-
souri,, has returned from the diggings,
and pronounces them a complete hum
bug.
The Holt county Wears mentions the
receipt of letter from a citizen of that
county, from the mines, who also adds
his evidence in the matter, and pronounc-
es the stories of rich gold discoveries,
rascally fabrications.
These reports are all from bona tide
men, of known reliability-not men of
straw, invented for the purpose of re-
porting great gold stories. Our advice
to all is, stay away from Pixies Peak
and Cherry Greek, and you will have
nothing to repent of, on that score. AT
least wait until you hear from persons
whom you know to be reliable, and I'M
til it can be ascertained what can be done
in the Spring White Cloud Chief.

Words Fitly spoken


A writer in the Ohio Statesman from Hes
braska City gives the whole slavery ccntroe
versy, as t. the Territories, in a nutshell.
We recommend the kernel he displays to
the good taste and sound discrimination Of
Democrats everywhere. lie speaks the
words of truth and soberness:
F" see you editors and members of Com
gress are still discussing Congressional in.
terventiOn on the subject of slavery 10 the
Territories. Will you allow me, with all
due modesty, to suggest that you are vast
ing vast amount of breath, lux and paper2
Why don't Eastern politicians just let us
alone-attend to their own affairs, and let
us do the same2 | can give you the whole
OF the subject in few words: IL we want
slavery We will have it, and all the editors
and Congressman in the United States can t
prevent us; and if we don't want it we
won't have it. and you may carpet the Terri.
tory with laws on the subject, and you can t
make us have it The people here look with
contempt on all this talk about Congress
controlling the matter one way or the other
The interests Of the people, the wants of the
country, will settle the matter, and those
who don't live here needn't bother them
selves about it. 1t is our business, and if
you would only let us alone we will settle it
to suit ourselves and if you don't let us
alone, we will settle it to suit ourselves, any
how.

What Is Thought of orr Ticket.


The Toledo Times, an Opposition paper,
has the following notice of the ticket nomi-
mated by the Democratic State Convention
which met at Columbus on Thursday last
III the Republican party can find as good
men, and then find honest men enough to
nominate them, the State will have u good
time no matter which ticket is elected, but
this we think altogether impossible The
Times says:
The ticket, so far as we are acquainted
with the men upon it, we should think was
about as popular as could have been nomi-
mated. 1t was invariably,sa of Judge Ran,
ney while he was on the Supreme Bench,
that he was one Of the best Judges Ohio
ever had; if he should be elected, and makes
as good Governor as he did Judge, the
people of Ohio we think would be mostly
satisfed. The nominee for Lieut. Governor,
Mr.. Stafford, who has been in our State Sen.
ate for two or three terms past, is also a very
unexceptionable man. The nomination of
Judge Whitman, for Supreme Judge, would
also seem to be a nomination fit to be made,
as he is well known throughout the State as
an able Jurist We are not acquainted with
the other nominees except we know Mr..
Allen, as an educator, and as very good
man.
We are glad to see the Democrats bring,
ing out their best men for office; for if they
should succeed in electng the State would
not be disgraced in tie act
1t is to be hoped that the Republicans will
act on the same principle too, and bring out
their best men. 1t would seem as though
the State had suffered enough in the election
of incompetent men, heretofore, that all par.
ties might profit in the future, from what
has occurred in the past.
