Peoples Ticket.

Our readers all know, or ought to know,
the position occupied by this paper 1t is
nothing more nor less than a Democratic
journal, and devoted in its political depart
ment. to the advocacy Of those time-honored
principles Of which stephen A. Douglas is
the especial champion at this period The
Douglas Democratic City Committee not
having deemed it expedieut to recommend
the nomination Of Douglas ticket at the
present charter election the masses of the
Douglas parry are free to act as they shall
deem best in the premises, and to vote for
such candidates as may be in the field. As the
recognized organ of the Douglas party of this
county, and of the only regular Democratic
org nizaton in its limits, (for the Anti-Doug.
las Court House organization is a boiling con.
Germ and without a shadow OF legitimacy
about it,) we are left, in the present munich
pal contest, without ticket which we can
properly hoist at the head of our columns.
We are party paper, and we cannot proper
ly hoist at our masthead q ticket which is
not of partisan character, for the Peoples
ticket is neither Douglas, nor an Admins
tration nor a Republican ticket, but a ticket
nominated by the people at large, with re
speet only to the personal qualifications and
merits Of the candidates. Maintaining as we
do n well defined political position, we could
not be expected to lose our identity as q
Douglas Democratic journal in a mere tenn
porary movement of the people for the ef-
feeting of a temporary purpose. Still, we
recognise the movement as one likely to be
most sdlutary in its consequences.
The nominees are all good citizens, up
right. worthy and honorable men-wel
fitted for the positions to which they are
nominated, and no man can do himself any
discredit, if he chooses to ignore political
issues in this canvass and vote for men upon
the question Of their fitness alone Certain
we are Of one thing, and that is that the
Douglas men Of this city, after having been
insulted in the manner in which they have
by the tests ,f the Court House California
Express Bogus-Bolting self-styled "Admin
istraton Democracy" cannot, with any de
gree Of decency or self-respect turn around
and lick the hand that smites them. II
therefore those, who have assumed to nomi.
nate a ticket in the name of Democracy,
after having excluded from the primary elec
tious hundreds of good and true Democrats,
find themselves swept down before the waves
of a general popular uprising, it is their own
fault aud they have none to blame but them.

to shirk the responsibility of what they have
done. If vengeance is to be taken upon us
seven fold for rebeling against the Demo

against the Alabama Democrats seventy and

acknowledge to have rebelled, las is charged

have only rebelled against an Administration

Colonel Mulford being called for, made a
very telling speech somewhat bitter against
the candidates of the Court House California
Express Clique and Exclusives. but abound
ing in wit and humor. He said that the can
didate of the Lecomptontes for Mayor, Levi
Hite, was mere circumstance by the side of
Chandler B. Fowler the nominee of the peo-
pie. Put Fowler into one scale, and Levi
Hite in the other, with all his money and all
his influence and Jonas thrown in into the
bargain, and Levi Hite, with all that huLg to
him, would kick the BEAM

nee for Treasurer, A. D. Starr, who runs as
fine a mill as there is in the country would
put him (Paxton) between the upper and
neither millstones and grind him into powder
lie would grind him in his mill finer than the
finest -four he ever tarned out and the people
at the polls would bolt him.
He did not seem to have a very high opin
ion of Mr.. Ashford's qualifications for Re
corder, but paid fine panegyric to the in
tellect, cultivation and legal ability Of Mr..
Kyle the Peoples nominee for the same Office.
At the close of the Colonels speech which
was loudly and yociferously applauded, the
meeting adjourned.

Chinese Art and Cruelty.

The number Of workmen employed in China
to finish one article of chinaware is almost in
credible single cup is said, from the knead-
ing of the paste, to pass through seventy hands
before it is ready for SALE each individual in its
progress performing as little as he possibly can
for the remuneration he receives. The Chinese
decorate the exterior of their dwellings and
their pleasure grounds with enormous pieces OF
porcelain both in the shape Of vases and fig
ures these are formed each in several pieces,
and each piece or portion in mould the
paste is first well pressed into the mouIds,
which are then placed before fire for short
time, to detach the figures from their mouldsi;
the various portions are then united and &C.
mented together, the joints are carefully
smoothed off by the chisel, and are vanished
and painted over, after which they are imper-
ceptible. The designs traced upon their porce-
lain or china are very inferior, but the colors
used by the artists who paint these designs are
far superior to any European coloring. The
division OF labor in embellshing and painting
the chnaware is equal to that employed in the
formation of it one traces figures, another
flowers, third paints the figures, and fourth
the flowers in fact, there is an artist for delin-
eating, and another for painting each particu-
lar object; each goes on in one beaten track,
without the least conception or attempt at
improvement, or introducing new ideas in
their designs; and thus the same designs and
figures are accurately copied by the artists of
the present day which are used in the days of
Confucius. If workman steals bit of the
material, no matter how small the quantity, or
if he break or in any manner destroy what he
cannot replace or pay for, he is punished in the
most cruel and shocking manner. On one &C.
cason workman stole a handsome vase which
he presented to his sweetheart. His theft was
discovered and both he and the poor girl to
whom he had given the vase, were confined in
tubs from which only their heads protruded,
and exposed on the su mint of hill, to the ele-
ments and ravenous birds until they miserably
persisted in lingering agony.

Moro co.

The MOniteur de J. Arme gives the following
details respecting the internal organization of
Morocco !; "The Empire is divided into 20
governments, some of which consist of single
town and its suburbs. The principle govern
ments are occupied by Generals or Pashas, the
others by functionaries called Kaids and all
have under their orders the civil, police, and
customs functionaries. Official personages in
Nor eco depend entirely on the Emperor, there
being neither law nor regulations, not even
usage to protect them. The Emperor is the
most absolute of all the SovereignS of the earth.
He has neither ministry, nor divan, nor coun-
Gil. His highest dgnitary is Kateb Ell Avamir,
or secretary, and as it is he who treats with
foreign consuls, he resides chiefly at Tanglers.
Next to the Kateb are the Moula, Taba, or
keeper of the seals, the Moula Fai, or butler,
the Moula ESteserad, or treasurer, the Moula
Michouar, or high chamberlain, and the Com
mander-in chief of the Imperial Guard The
principle revenues Of the Emperor consists in
tithes on the produce of the soil, direct taxes,
the capitation of the Jews, town dues and licen-
SEES, coming, customs, the trade monopoies of
cochineal, sulphur, iron, leeches and several
other things, the duties ON letting out of camels
mules, asses, houses; fines on private persons or
communities for crimes of which the authors
not discovered, and presents and subsidies from
foreign Powers. To these must be added the
odious resources of confscations which is very
productive. When any merchant, public func-
tionary or private person gains fortune, and
tho Emperor hears of the fact, his Majesty
takes the fortune on pretencc of depositing it
in the common treasury of the Mussemans, and
never renders any account of it. This treasury
is at Mequinez, and is supposed to consist of
about 500, 900 ,OOOf, in gold and silver ingots
and coin. This vast sum is perfectly unproduc-
tive, and as in ordinary years the Emperor only
disburses about two-ffths of his revenue, it in
creases every year. 1t is however encroachod
on when change of reign takes place, as the
Emperor has to pay influential personages who
assist in his elevation, OF in case of war. But
as the Soverelgns of Morocco are very avaricous
they always find means to make up any void
in the treasury by imposing extraordinary taxes
or by spoliation. The amassing Of the treasure
commenced SO far back as 1850"

The Emperor of Bells.

At the foot of the beethoven of the Kremlin
stands on granite pedestal, the Tar KolOkoI,
or Emperor of Bells, whose renoun is world
wide. 1t was cast by order OF the Empress
Anne, 1870, but was broken seven years after
wards, through the burning Of the wooden
tower in which it hung. 1t is little over
81 feet in height, % feet in diameter at the
bottom, weighs l2l tons, and the estimated val
ue of the gold, silver, and copper contained in
it, is 100000 dolls In one of the lower sto-
ries of the tower hangs another bell, cas- more
than century before the Tar Kolokol, and
weighing "a tons. Its iron tongue is swung
from side to side by the united exertlons of
three men. 1t is only rung thrice year, and
when it speaks all other bells are silent. 70
those who stand near the tower, the vibration
Of the air is said to be like that which follows

In the other stories hang at least forty or fifty
bells, varying in weight from SO tons to 1000
lbs; some of them are one-third silver. When
they all sound at once, as on Easter morn, the
very tower must rock on its foundation. In
those parts of Russia where the Eastern Church
is predominant no other sect is allowed to pos
sess bells In Austria the same prohibition is
extended to the Protestant churches. The
sound Of the bells is part of the act of wor-
