BRowN.-We have always cherished UNUSUAL
respect for that name have known Oike every
body else) great many Browns, most of them
good and respectable men, but our present sub
jeet is wilful exception. john Brown, of Har-
per's Ferry is the man, distinguished citizen
tells the Louisville Journal what he heard while
attending the trials at Charlestown, Va. Mr.,
Washington, one of Browns prisoners in the ar
mory, admits that all the prisoners were treated
with kindness, but from observation while there,
be concludes that John Brown was heartless
old man. lie says that when the troops attacked
the armory, Brown was vigilant at the loophoes
killing his man at each shot. While he was
watching, one of bis sons fell, near him, mortally
wounded, and begged of some of his comrades to
end his misery. With an unsympathizing glance
the old man bade him be silent, and die like
man. When his other son was in the aganies Of
death the old man rebuked him for his noise.
Standing between his dying children, he held his
rifle pointed, and al intervals would drum upon
the barrel of his death weapon with the Tin gers
OF his left hand, with the most astonishing calm
ness. Brown may have been possessed of un-
tamable courage, hut we can't feel the least
sympathy for one SO far lacking in the sensibili-
ties of human nature as to listen unmoved to
the death-groans of his children.

BEHIND The TIMEs.-The Scotch people are
sadly behind the times in their warehouses they
have no takles or hoists, and no matter how large
a package is to go to the third or fourth story, it
must be carried up by porters. The cotton spin
ners of Glasgow lately appealed to their en-
ployes to reduce the weight of the " skps" in
which they pack their cops" to " maximum
of 200 lbs" In America two hundred pounds
would be considered good load for the porter
10 carry up four or five flights of stairs on his
shoulders. The petitioners urge that their ex-
oessve burdens wear out their strength prema
t4rely, aud that their families are often reduced
to want by accident, An enterprising represen-
tative of The wooden nutmeg" country might
find the importing to Scotland OF takles and
hosts very lucrative.

SLOWLY DYING-The festal season has near
" come, creeping slow and silently. Old father
Time has rolled his car of Juggernaut to the
verge of another year, crushing beneath its pon
derous wheels many blossom of hope, and bear
ing in Its progress many bighted prospect, ru-
ined reputation and withered heart. He is COW
ering the past with the waters of Lethe, while the
future slowly opens to view. There is no point
of time more fitting for reflection than the pres
ent-ihe closing of the year-a year ladened
with sorFows and joys, to be remembered with
seitments of pleasure aud pain its we'll learned
lessons to be made useful in coming time.
Experience has reaped rich lesson from the
bosom of the dying year, now silently fitting
away to make room for the sueeessor-young,
vigorous and hopful- bringing with it the germs
of happiness and misery. The youthful heart is
palpitatng in anticipation of success in love, am
biton and pleasure the aged still borrowing ex-
peetation of reprieve from death, and all reach
ing forward to pluck the flowers that grow upon
the pathway through the gloom-the gloom of
Time.
AS if to add grace and happy effect to the de-
parture of the waning year, CHRISTMAS comes
with smiling face and gratulations, calling up
time-honored customs of antiquity, uniting the
present with the memories of the past, and in
spring sacred devotion, which piercing through
the busy spirit of the age points to that social
communion which rises above the selfish present
and links the particles of time through all eter-
nity.
The mistletoe and holly branch of the middle
ages, the Christmas tree of the present, the so.
cal gatherings of all time and the almost uni
versal regard paid to the Christmas festival,
seems to throw halo round the Institution which
say0rs more of the divine than human, and rem
ders it more than an ordinary holiday.
A MERRY CHRISTMAS, reader.

HORACE GREELEY AND THE UNDERGROUND
RALRoAD.-The readers of the Tribune were
lately informed that the slaves are escaping from
Missouri rapidly-that twenty five went south on
one steamer, and twentysx arrived in Detroit,
en- route for Canada, by the underground railroad.
Whether the slaves were emancipated, or were
being run off, was not stated, but as the inteli-
gence was given to the world through the Tribune
alone, the latter presumption is probably correct.

pnhl,o Exn.nsiitures.


The Sacramento Union gives list Of appro-
priations made by the late Legislature, for the
current expenses Of the fiscal year, which
amount to the enormous sum Of $9I6.o4O "a;
the claims allowed against the State and aud
tied by the Legislature amounted to sls77O6 50.
II we add to these sums the $273,o0O, annually
paid as interest on the public debt, we shall
have 81 ,2Os, $40 81, as the annual expenses Of
the State government. This is nearly double
the amount estimated by the Governor and
Controller at the beginning Of the session.
Some Of the appropriations may be regarded as
extra-that will not have to be made another
year-but it must be remembered that every
year has its extras, and without an entire
change of State policy there is no hope Of re-
duction Of the public expenditures. If we take
into consideration the fact that all demands
against the State are now paid in cash, the late
Legislature must be regarded as the most ex-
travagant one that has yet had control OF the
public purse.

IN. Auuroaeh,nr PolItIcaI Contest.


BY the proceedings Of the Democratic State
Central Committee, published ir another col
unD. II win be seen thai The meeting of the
State Convention has been fixed FOR the 18th Of
June. The Committee acted wisely In calling
together tho representatives of the Democracy
at an early day. The candidates will have am
pie time to thoroughly canvass the State, and
the cause Of Popular Sovereignty has nothing
10 lose, but every thing to gain, by . fall and
free discussion. uA
The approaching political contest, from the
indications already given out promises to be
interesting and exciting. 1t is stated that Sem
stors Broderiek and Gwin will both take the
stump, Immediately after the nominations, and
visit every part of the State. The services Of
the best stump orators In the State will doubt
less also be brought into requisitiOn, and every
inch Of ground will be nercely contested. 10
view of the fact that full State ticket Is TO be
elected, and of the greater interest manifested
in the result, there is every reason to believe
that the popular vote Of the State at the next
election will exceed that of last year by at least
10000. 1t would be idle at present to specu-
late upon the result Of the approaching con-
test, as much will depend upon the action Of
the Conventions which assemble In June next.
But under any circumstances, 1t may be taken
as @ nxed fact that the true Democracy will
make large gains upon the vote Of last year.
The Republicans as yet have taken no action
towards calling State Convention, and proba-
bly, will not until after the other parties make
their nominations.

Snow IN THE MoUNTANs.-At Bear Valley, in
this county, the snow at present is from three
to five feet deep. In this valley there has been
little or no rain, and the snow during the win
ter has fallen to the depth Of about twenty-five
feet, according to measurements made by q
gentleman of that place. At Six Mile Valley,
the snow is now about six feet in depih. Mr..
Daniel Rich, who has a house near DEVILS Peak,
six miles this side Of the summit, recently
made trip to that place. He was accompa-
MED by another man, and the trip was made
on snow shoes. At the Peak, and around the
lakes, the snow averages about fourteen feet
The house was completely buried in the snow,
but they managed to get into 1t by going down
the chimney, and procuring shovels they imme-
diately went to work and run tunnel through
the snow so as to enter the house by the door.
They slept in the house two nights, and then
took their departure for more temperate
cline.

SACRAMENTO, April z9th lSoy.
Editor Democrat III Presuming that a letter
from our "village" would not be unacceptable
10 your readers, deem 1t not intruding to
descant on the passing events Of the day.
In the political muddIe, the pot Loils finely.
Political ends are being shaped, ropes laid, and
wires pulled. One would think, and very nat
urally too, that the adjournment Of the Legis-
lature would be the cue for vacating the town
but not so. A great many members Of the
late Legislature are still here, log-rolling for
the Conventions which meet in abont two
months. Members Of the third and fourth
houses also .'lay around loose" having no
money they are not able to get back to their
dear constituents, SO we shall have to harbor
the bummers and hangers-on until next session.
Mr.. Anderson, the renowned tragedian has
been performing here the past week to crowded
houses. Miss Morant, the renowned, accom-
plished and handsome actress, accompanies Mr..
A.: she is undoubtedly the best actress in Amer
ica. Your isolated denizens will have the
pleasure Of witnessing the representations Of
these celebrated artists, and judge for your
selves Of their merits. We part with them re-
gretfully, and hope again to be favored with
their enrapturing and life-like impersonations.
The Misses Webb are sojourning at the "St.
George" at present, preparatory to another
trip in the interior. The are pleasing little
girls, and thought much Of here.
A line of omnibusses traverse our principal
thoroug ghfares, not unlike those Of Eastern cit.
les. They are well patronized and deserving.
The fare is only "bitv for about two miles
ride, and very many idle persons ride for pleas
ure. .r. .r.rf
The Odd Fellows are making preparations
for grand anniversary ball, on Tuesday eve
ming, which promises to eclipse the ''huge" leg
islative hop The I. o. of o. F's. are very nu'
merous heresbouts, and are represented by the
best men in the city. s..
The opposition boat still continues to take
passengers for the very low price of rs cents
to San Francisco, and the monopoly line fol
so cents. How long this ruinous state Of
affairs will last know not, but both are obsti
nate, and the result may terminate disastrously
Ito the weaker party.
The weather has been delightful, and all tht
world seems gay. Yours,

THE SICKLEs CAsE.-The trial of Daniel Z.
Sickles, for the killing Of Key. was to have
taken place about the first of April. The
Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Re
ublican, in speaking Of the case, says:
The opinion prevails that Judge Crawford,
who presdes over the Criminal Court, will
throw all his infence against the prisoner,
which, together with the influence of Chief JUS
tice Taney. (he uncle of the deceased) and
Keys personal friends in this city, may secure
the conviction of Sickles; yet the latter has a
warm personal friend in the President Of the
United States, who holds the pardoning power,
and whose sympathies are altogether with the
accused. Not only this but the Cabinet, with
the exception of single member, indorses the
course Sckles pursued as the only one left him
under the painful circu instances Of the case
Therefore it is safe to predict that Sickles will
not be punished whatever may be the result of
the trial
