THE PURITY PARTY.-The Republican or 0p-
position party of the country charge the Demo-
cracy with being corrupt. They say the govern
ment should be placed in honest hands Great
Je-hos-e-phatl In 1856, they said the same
thing, and succeeded in getting majority in
the lower house of Congress. They elected a
Speaker, Banks, and for time went toler-
ably well. The party however, was whited
sepulchre. Yileness and corruption was inside.
1t speedily made its appearance upon the sur
face, and from that time TO the end of the ses
sion, the chief business of the Black Republican
House of Representatives was the trial and ex-
expulsion of Black Republican members for the
crime of selling their votes
Since then, Elder Peck, Black Repu blican
Treasurer of Maine, robbed that State of $780,
900; Mckinney the Black Republican Treasurer
of Michigan robber tha. State of Sl10, 900 the
Republican State officers of Illinois, including
Gov. Bissell, robbed that State of several hun
dred thousand dollars; and Gibson, late Repub-
lican Treasurer of Ohio, is being tried for en-
bezzling funds belonging to that State amount
ing to sundry thousands of dollars. What a
glorious time these pure and honest Republicans
will have when they get control of the National
Treasury If they can play such tricks in State
Treasures, what may not their admirers expect
of them when the National Treasury is their
field of operations Great Je-hos-e- -phat but
won't they rake" it then? 1hen7 Echo an
swers and asks "when ~ When? When the
American people turn fools-not before.

Senatorial Caucus at Warrington.

A caucus of Democratic Senators was held at
Washington, on the 18th February, with refer
ence to the adoption of certain resolutions offer
ed by JEFF. Davis. Senators Mason, Hunter,
Hammond and Johnson, of Tennessee, were ab-
sent The resolutions, believe, assert the
justice and propriety of Congressional action for
the protection of slavery in the Territories
In other words, the friends of the resolutions de-
sire the Democratic party through their Sena-
tors, to declare in favor of slave code for the
Territories. Upon this point a diccussion of
four hours duration was had. Salisbury new
member from Delaware, Clingman, of North
Carolina, and Toombs, of Georgia, thought it
inexpedient to adopt the resolutions. Gwin,
Bright. Fitch and Lane favored their adoption.
Douglas was opposed to making any party tests
or adopting any resolutions on the slavery ques-
ton in advance of the meeting of the Charleston
Convention, and declared his adherence to the
Cincinnati Platform. The resolutions were f.
nally referred to a committee of FIVE, who were
to report in caucus on the 18th February.
DSg~ The Ohio State Journal, Republican, says
Douglas endeavored to defeat the election of
Forney to the Clerkship. We have no doubt of
it. The same paper says that Douglas refuses
to recognize Forney as an acquaintance. We
don't believe word of it. We do believe ano-
ther statement of the same journal, viz: that
Forney will support the Chicago nominee. We
think he is clean out Of the Democratic boat.

psS The act recently passed by the Legisa-
ture, authorizing the Board of Supervisors of
this county to pay Hinckley Co. a balance
which they claim as due them for publishing
delinquent tax list, was introduced by Mr.. White
in obedience to petition bearing the signatures
of many of our prominent citizens of both par
ties. As for ourselves we never heard of tie
petition or the bill until we observed it referred
to in the Legislative proceedings. We have
heard of disposition on the part of some to
censure Messrs. White and Logan for the pass
age OF the bill. From the character of the petit
tioners, however, those gentlemen certainly had
right to believe the people fthe county wished
such bill passed. They certainly deserve no
censure

evening. | spent considerable money, without
any prospect of getting anything in return.-
However, con ole myself by saying that | am
not the only one. | cannot say much about the
country, as the ground was covered with snow,
but this much | can say: The silver mines are
all humbugs, with the exception of the Com
stock and Spanish claims, which are the origi-
nal fourteen hundred feet and they are all that
have been discovered. The reports that other
rich mines have been discovered are false, as
we tested them, and | therefore know what |
write is true. There is not even piece of rock
discovered outside of the two leads which
have mentioned that looks like silver ore. Every
man in the valley can point it out among thou
sand fragments, only by feeling it between his
fingers
DoUGLAs.-A Washington correspondent of
the Union says:
The friends of Judge Douglas in this city
seem more than ever sanguine of his nomination
at Charleston, while the prominent members of
both parties are settling to the conclusion that
such will be the case. Large numbers of the
Southern papers are publishing his late speech,
which is favorably received by the masses,
while many influential Southern Democrats are
going for him.
Since then Connecticut has elected twelve
delegates to the Charleston Convention, all of
whom, save one, are for Douglas.

INDIAN WAR RoNDs.-Mr. Ryan's bill, "to pro-
vide for the issuance and payment of bonds for
expenses incurred in the suppression of Indian
hostlities in certain counties of the State" has
been reported back by the committee to whom
it was referred with unanimous recommend
alton for its passage. The bill authorizes the
State Treasurer to call in all bonds issued by
him under the act of April, 1857, for the pay
ment of Indian war expenses-and amendatory
acts Of 1858 and 1S59-also all certificates of
claims which are or may be audited and allowed
by the Board of Examiners, as authorized by the
acts referred to and for which no bonds shall
have been issued and upon the surrender of
any such bonds or certificates, to issue State
bonds payable on the first day of July, 1870"
This bill is eminent!y just. The bonds hereto
fore issued for services rendered in Indian wars,
for property destroyed, &c, are almost worth
less, not selling for more than twenty-five cents
on the dollar. If Mr.. Ryans bill is passed, how
ever, they will at once become valuable. The
State is in honor bound to pass this bill.

A Case of Abortion and Death.

In the early part of the week news reached
town that the citizens of Piety Hill had arrested
Dr. Gutman, of Horsetown, under the belief that
he had produced abortion upon the person of a
little girl, some fifteen years ofage, living in the
house of Augustus R. Stiller, of Dry Creek
Sheriff Folansbee promptly repaired to the
house of Mr.. Stiller, where he found DR.. Gutman
in custody of body of armed men. The ex-
citement had become very great, and but for the
timely presence of the Sheriff it is thought DR..
G. would have been severely dealt with.
Dr. Gutman was brought to town on Thurs
day. and admitted to bail in the sum of two
thousand dollars to await his examination.
The young girl died on Wednesday. DR.. De
Shields, Coroner, held an inquest upon her bo-
dy. The jury found the following verdict:
Amelia Kuschinsky came to her death at Au-
gustus r. Siiler's house, on Dry Creek, on
Wednesday the I4th day of March, A. d. 1860,
from premature child~b birth unawfully pro-
duced by violence by the hands of Dr. Gutman,
of Horsetown, and Augustus R. Stiller, of DrJ
Greek, both of Shasta county.
This is, indeed, very shocking case. DR..
Gutman has heretofore sustained an enviable
reputation in this county. This fact entities him
to suspension of public opinion until all the
facts are known.
