Snow on TIE HENNEs PAss.-The Nevada
Transcript of yesterday says; "The Saera-
mento Union, of Thursday, stated, on the
authority oftho Silver Age, that there were,
at that time, two feet of snow on the Henness
Pass summit. We only know
that we. nearly every day, meet with gen
tlemen, just arrived from the Washoe coun-
try, and they concur in the assertion that
depth of more than two inches of snow can
not be found anywhere on the Henness Pass
road, from Nevada to Virginia City. Mr.
George Webber, one of the proprietors of
Jackson's Ranch, whose word, with those
who know him, is as good as the bonds of
some other people, arrived in Nevada on
Saturday evening, and confirms the statement
that not more than two inches of snow can
be found on the highest and coldest portion
of the summit"

CALIFORNIA BRANcH."-We are about es
tablishing an office and agency in San Fran
cisco for the various departments of the bus
iness of the American School Institute, and
the publication of a California edition of this
paper. The whole will be under the super
intendance and management Of Mr. Warren
Holt, late Professor in Oakland Academy, a
gentleman of experience as teacher, and of
extensive acquaintance among educators in
that State. BY this arrangement we shall
command facilities for introducing t6uchers,
who are that way inclined, to eligible posi-

and propretors of schools in that section will
find great advantage in having one among
them who can supply teachers and school
merchandise and all the latest improvements
in school aids as readily Except the requir-
ed time for transportation as they can be
fur.ished in New York Our friends on the

Branch Bank at McGregOr.

The moneyed men at McGregor have raised
the necessary amount S25, 900, to entitlC
them to charter for a branch of the State
Bank, and Hon. Reuben Noble has gone to
lowr City to secure it.-Argus.
In addition to the above, the Du.
buque Herald says that charter has
been granted by the Directors of the
State Bank, for the establishment of a
Branch at McGregor. The business
community in that thriving town, have
been, for some time, endeavoring to
have a branch Bank established there,
but were defeated in the accomplish
ment of their object until the meeting
of the Board of Directors of the moth
er Bank at Iowa City on the 10th ult.
At this meeting the charter was grant
ed, and we presume the McGregor
Branch will go into operation forth
with. Previous to the granting of the
charter, two commissioners, appoint
ed by the mother Bank, went to
McGrcgor, as is the rule in such cases,
and investigated the condition OF
things in the proposed Bank, and hav
ing found the preliminarics all right
including Twenty-Five thousand dollars n
specie, on hand, they made favorabl,
report, and SO the charter was grant
ed.

Minnesota Republicanism.

Hon. NJ. S. Wilkinson, the newly
elected Senator from Minnesota, has
written from Washington to his friends,
declaring his preference for Mr.. Sew
and as the Republican nominee for the
Presidency. He says:
"Since have been here and been obliged
to listen to the abuse of our nollcSt and truest
Republicans, think that we are in justice to
ourselves, to the party, and to principle, re-
quired to nominate our great Representative
man, and particularly since he is daily made
the target at which the poisoned arrows of an
INSCRIPTIONS and vindictive enemy are hurled.
/ hope he may receive the support Of the dele
gates from our State.
This is our opinion of the question,
exactly. Since the South have con-
centratcd all their wrath upon Mr..
Seward as being in their estimation
the embodiment of Rcpublicanism, we
think it due to him and to the Repub-
lican party to show to the slavery pro
pagandists that the opponents of slave
ry extension will not be iutimidatcd
by threats, and will not suffer their
great champion of freedom to be thus
driven from the field.

The Cameron Movement.

A letter, from which the following
is an extract, has appeared as origi'
nal correspondence in various papers
in Illinois and Iowa. The letter is
dated at Chicago, and its authorship
is left to conjecture. 1t is more than
limited, however, that the writer is the
indomitable DR.. Leib" himself:
There is strong feeling in this city in his
favor for the Presidency. Cameron and a
Lincoln Club has been organized, which is
working most enthusiastically for this ticket !;
| understand some of the leading men in the
State are in the movement, among whom are
Hon. L. NJ. Haines of Lake County, Matheny
of Sangamon. DR.. Charles V. Dyer of this
city, and others. DR.. Leib, who was the
very soul of the Buchanan party of this State
in the memorable contest of 1858, is now cor
daily and efficiently laboring for the nomina-
ton of this ticket. He is gentleman of much
intelligence and most indomitabie energy and perserer
aRce, and l am assured that even if those gen.
tlemen should not be nominated, he will new
ertheless give the nominees of the Republican
party his most cordial support other promi-
nent democrats here have recently come over
to our G. party. We may rel congratulate our
selreS on MiS accession 10 our ranks
Now, in our opinion, were the Re-
pubicans to elect Simon Cameron to
the Presidency they would achieve a
barren victory. Such men as DR.. Leib
and the Irish leader, Dyer, will bea.
watching. We have carefully exam
ined the anteccdents Of Mr.. Cameron
as laid down in his electioneerinf
pamphlet now being industriously cir
culated through the Western States
under the frank" Of Hon. Edwart
Mcpherson, N. C. from Pennsylvania
and we cannot make out that Cameron
ever was or ever intends to be an,
thing but a Democrat. We regar'
this whole affair as Democratic ope
ration, and among the chief conspira
tors is that indomitable Lecomr
tonite, DR.. Leib of Chicago. To sucl
entertainment let not Republicans b
: invited.

Pixies PEAK GoLD.-Mr. j. X. Snow.
| don, the Director of the Mint and its
branches, we see, has made an official
report on the yield and quality of the
gold dug in Kansas. The fneness Of
the gold he says, has the average range
of 500 to 900 thOusandths, but gene
rally lies within s25 to s45. The al
Toying metal is silver, as in all cases
of native gold. The value of the gold
in bars, allowing for the silver, is
nearly $3.50 per ounce, on the aver
age. Latterly, from improved manip-
ulations at the mines, the loss in
melting has been reduced from $500
to 81 so per ounce, with prospect OF
being brought down, ere long, to a
dollar, or less. At present, therefore,
the Mint value of Kansas gold, in
grains or amalgam, is about SIG per
ounce, Troy. During the last fiscal
year, the amount of gold received
from Kansas was inconsidcrable, but,
since the close Of the year, it has in.
creased. The amount received at the
Mint at Philadelphia, to the date Of
the report was $97, 4o5 10. Since the
report $l52,97S has been received,
and the other minting establishment
has received about 100000 from the
same source--making a total from
Kansas of about $460, 900.

The LENNON SLAVE CAsE.--This Gel
ebrated case, which has been before
the inferior courts of New York for
the last nine years, has at length been
brought to a hearing in the Court Of
Appeals. AS it involves the right to
hold slave property in transitu through
a free State, it has excited a large de,
gree of interest. The following is a
synopsis of the facts:
In November, 1850, J. Lennon
with his family, and eight slaves
came to New York from Virginia to
seek a direct passage to Texas, where
they proposed to settle. The pres
ence of slaves having been discovered
by the keen scent Of certain Abolition
lists, writ of habeas corpus was obtain
ed from Hon. Elijah Paine, then Il
Justice of the Superior Court, but
since deceased, inquiring why the ne
grocs were deprived of liberty. Upon
the return Of the writ, and after full
hearing Of the arguments presented
by Mr.. Lemmon's counsel, Judge
Paine ordered the slaves tn he dis
charged, and they were discharge
accordingly. Mr. Lennon at once
carried the order Of the superior
Judge into the Supreme Court, upon .
writ Of ,ertiordri, where, after II CON
test of years, the General Term affirm
cd the original order. The case was
in 1881, appealed to the present .juria
dictiun.

Mr.. Wilbur, of Floyd, offered the
following resolution
Resolved. That Union or Graded Schools

worth, Rev. J. II. Windsor, Sanford
Harwood, and w. II. Wilcox. The

A. w. French offered the following
resolution
Resolved. That the visitation of schools. by
parents and guardians. is of the greatest i'm
portance to their welfare, but is almost wholly
neglected. in our county. and that such neg
lcct calls for an immediate reform.
A motion to adopt the resolution he
ing seconded, Mr.. French expressed
his views upon the subject, and was
succeeded in the discussion by Mr..
Wilbur, Mr.. Hildrcth, Mr.. Windsor,
Mr. Aylsworth and others.
These discussions were animated,
and brought out many facts and sug-
gcstions of useful and practical
character, which, if needed, must re-
suit in much good to the cause of cd
ucation.
On motion the meeting adjourned, to
meet again at such time and place as
the Business Committee shall deter.
