ORANcE1sM.-The old feud between II

ORANGEIsM-The old feud between the
Catholics and the Orangemen, which was
revived 10 Canada on the occasion of the
Princes visit there, is burning as ilercely
as ever, especially on the part of the Cath
olics, who are preparing for war, and who,
says the eW York Times, manifest no dis
position to treat their enemies with for
bearance or consideration. One of their
organs has come out with programme of
future operations. 1t is proposed 10 pass
law declaring members of the Orange So.
ciety incapable Of sitting in Parliament,
aud of being Judges or Ministers of the
Crown. There is certainly some truth in
the argument urged that no Catholic ex-
poets justice from al Orangeman, who lie
sworn to further the triumph of bis own re-
ligion and the degradation Of all others !;
but the remedy suggested is too violent to
have any chance of success. Its effect
would be to enlist the whole Protestant
feeling of the country 10 behalf Of Orange
ism and directly that is done, the Catholic
being in the minority, are bound to go to
the wall.

OVERLAND TRADE WITH NEW MExIco.--
The value of the overland trade with New
Mexico may be inferred from the fact, sta
ted by the st. Louis Republican, that mer-
chants paid within year s250,0OO for
transporting freight to that Territory, and
that it cost the United States $4O0, 900
more to transport its supplies. This, 1t ap-
pears, is exclusive Of freigh. carried by
merchants who can afford TO have their
own trains, and by which means at least as
much merchandise was carried as by those
who paid for having their goods carried by
wagoners. This immense trade centers at
81. Louis, where most of the goods are fur
nished and where the products of New Mex
leo, such as they are, fud market.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

In most of the counties heard from, IN
which the vote has been reported, there Is
a large majority in favor of Constitution
al Convention, aud the probability is that
the measure has received the sanction Of q
majority of the voters Of the State. The
total number OF votes polled in Nevada
county is 6,96s, of which $3.50 were for a
convention, being 1903 votes more than
majority. If the measure has carried, it
will become the duty Of the next Legisla-
ture to provide for the election Of Dele
gates and tx the time for the Convention
TO assemble. The Convention will then
have TO submit the new Constitution to a
vote Of the people, at special election. for
ratification or rejection. The prospect that
the Convention will remedy some defects in
our present G Constitution Is worth the expe-
riment Of calling one.

A New CAvE.-A cave has been discov-
cred in Alachua county, Florida, which is
described as larger than the Mammoth cave
Of Kentucky, and as having an ancient Lat
in inscription on the walls, which states
that party of Danes had visited this cave
in the year 1860, aud that priest who had
accompanied them had left this memorial of
their visit. The name of this priest was
Marcus Poleus. II also stated that these
bold navigators had embarked on voyage
Of exploration, and had been driven far
south; also that they had visited many large
islands, and finally had landed in thickly
populated country, where the people had
received them kindly, thinking them supe-
riOs beings; that several of their number,
together with some Greek artisans aud two
priests, had been left there as colony. Is
this relic of the party that the Mexicsns
say visited them four hundred years before
COrtez landed aud taught them the arts of
civilized life, or is 1t a humbug?

WEALTHY BEGGARs.-A few days ago an
Italian beggar was arrested at Stockton, on
a charge of vagrancy. He was proven to
be worth at least $4,000, and the Justice,
before whom be was tried, 6ned him $50,
which he promptly paid. Gases of SINH
lar character ale not rare. We notice in
an Eastern exchange an account Of the ar
rest of beggar in Paris, quite recently. for
having imposed upon the public in solicit
ing charity, when, instead Of Being 10 want,
he was found to be a wealthy man. The
ever viglant police of Paris made the dis
covery by searching his premises, where
evidences of his wealth appeared in the
shape Of railroad and other securities.

WHY THEY VOTED FOR DoUGLAs.-The
italian journal advised oil natives of Italy
who were voters, to vote for Douglas yes
terday, and, SO far as known, the Italians
followed the advice 10 man. The reasons
for their conduct are somewhat curious. 1t
appears that at the stOrming of some town
in Italy palermo, we beleve) Garibaldi's
valOr got the better of his discretion. Sup
ported by few be charged into the ranks
of the foe, revolver In hand, shot down
some of the enemy, made breach in his
ranks, and then secured the capture of the
place. The revolver which played so i'm.
portant part on that occasion, was one
presented to Garibaldi by Douglas. And
for these reasons the sons of Italy were ad-
vised to cast their votes for the Little Gi-
ant, and they cast them.-[Call.

LnBERA.-The Philadelphia Ledger has
been presented with a specimen of coffee
raised on the plantation of President Ben
son, 10 Liberia. The berry is large and full,
of a light brown color, and is said to be the
best coffee known. Speaking of the future
prospects Of Liberia, that paper says;
The remarkable prosperity of Liberia within
the last five years, in agricultural, commercial
educational and religious aspects, the increas-
ing enterprise of her citizens for pushing into
the interior and establishing new settlements,
the growing disposition of the cOlored people OF
this country to look to their ancestral land for
the good which they seek almost in vain on this
continent, are ample tokens that the time is
rapidly approaching in which ths most ardent
aspirations of Christians and philanthropists
for Africa's civilization and elevation will be
fully realized.

CuIry JUSTICE suAw on THE JUDICIARY.

CHIEF JUSTICE SHAW on THE JUDICIARY.
The venerable and erudite Judge Shaw,
of Massachusetts,, as our readers are aware,
lately resigned his position on the Bench,
on account of advanced age. The Bar OF
Massachusetts, addressed him compliment
tary letter on the occasion, which gave the
venerable Judge an opportunity to express
bis opinion, founded on long experience by
practice and observation, of the superiority
of the judicial system, by which the Judges
are appointed over that by which they are
elected He says:
If amid the gusts and whirlwinds of po-
litical violence, of personal rancor and par
ty rage, passion aud force for the time bear
rule. may we not still hope that the calm
reflection of the sober men of the Common
wealth will resume their sway, and enable
a trustworthy Judiciary to maintain the
safety of the State. Above all, let us be
careful bow we disparage the wisdom of our
fathers, in providing for the appointment
to judicial office, in fixing the tenure OF Of
fee, and making judges las free, impartial,
and independent as the lot of humanity
will admit" Let no plausible or delusive
hope of obtaining larger liberty, let not
the example Of any other State lead you in
this matter to desert your own solid ground,
until cautious reason or the well-tried ex-
pertinent of others shall have demonstrated
the establishment of Judiciary wiser and
more solid than our own.

wTI.LTAM WATT.

The Journal gives several reasons TOT sne
election Of Mr.. Watt, the Democratic can
didate for the Senate, over bis competitors,
Messrs. Sykes and Moore. The cause OF bis
election, says that paper lie, that watt had
money. He used it freely" 1t is true,
that by good management, and by several
years of industry and economy, Watt has
accumulated some money; and as he is not

the world be paid bis bills, as every honest
man should while canvassing the county.
But be spent no more than he 10 in the habit
of spending at every important election 10
which be takes an interest.
Asto another charge, that Mr.. Watt does
not subscribe to the principles OF Douglas
il is sufficient to say that be has always
been non-intervention Democrat, and nev-
er at any time advocated the doctrine of
Congressional slave code for the Terrific
ries. The Administration State Convention
Of last year adopted non-lnlervenilon
platform, and Watt supported Latham on
that principle, and consistently adhered to
the doctrine when the party divided. His
undoubted integrity, popularity with the
people, and practical knowledge of the min-
ing interests, pointed him out as the most
suitable man to head our county ticket
He accepted the nomination reluctantly,
and having been elected, we predict that
be will leave q record honorable to himself,
aud will never give the voters of the county
cause TO regret that they elected bin to
represent their interests In the State Senate
DEGRADING A GovERXoR.--There is Pc
culiar Significance and propriety 10 the
custom which prevails In the Turkish Elm
pire, of degrading public officer who has
been manifestly unfaithful and derelict In
the performance of bis Official duties. The
Governor of Damascus was lately degraded
at Constantinople, and the ceremony was
conducted in The following manner: He
was taken to the great square In front Of
the war Office. Some thousands Of troops
we're assembled in the form Of hollow
square, with many high officers, civil and
military. The Pasha was led into the Gen.
ter of this square. The imperial order was
then read, after which bis official insignia
were roughly torn from him, and it was
loudly proclaimed that Abmet, late Pasha
Governor General Of Damascus, and Com
mander 10 Chief of the army Of Arbistan,
was now degraded, stripped Of all rank and
Offices, and reduced to the rank of COM
mon soldier. He was then ignominiOusly
marched off to prison, whence he WAS sent
TO Beirut to be tried for bis life.

vorE EARLY, VorE OFrEN.-The Stock
ton Argus, of the 9th inst. referring to the
large vote in that county, says:
The large vote Of this county at the recent
election requires explanation. Last year San
joaquin cast 1898 votes. Since then San Joa-
ouir has been divided, loosing Knights Ferry
and other precincts, numbering between three
and four hundred votes. How comes 1t that
Stockton alone counts more than half OF the
whole of that vote? And how comes it that
the county, after losing some four hundred
votes, should cast 526 votes more than 1t did
before it was divided? We fear this rule has
been carried out "Vote early, vote often, vote
all the time!" Two Breckenridge voters are al,
ready in Jail for double voting, and it is hoped
that others who were watched may be brought
to justice. This election in Stockton, partIcu-
larly shows the necessity of registry law IL Is
the only way to protect the citizen in his right
of voting, and to prevent its being lost to him
by illegal votes.

EARTHQUAKE ALARM BELL.-The Japanese
have discovered that few seconds previ-
GUS to the occurrence of an earthquake, the
magnet temporarily loses it's power, and
have ingeniously constructed light frame,
supporting horseshoe magnet, beneath
which Is cup Of bell metal. To the lower
portion OF the magnet is attached weight,
so that. upon the magnet becoming paral-
yzed, the weight drops, and, upon striking
the cup, gives the alarm, aud all the occu-
pants Of the house rush to the open air for
safety.

the Abolition party, of which Gerrit Smith

and will vote against him because they fear
that If be should become President be would
be too conservative. This split may i'm

writing from Springville, Multnomah coun-

Silver mines are all the rage in Oregon just

coveries of immense silver leads have besn
made near Oregon City, on the Clackamas.
Whether untold millions of silver OF not lie hid
den in this vicinity, yet remains to be seen. The
probabilities are "or not" will be the unwelcome

NO returns uau Ueeh iOOSifSu 'N"'
math and Del Norte counties, and only par
tial returns from Plumas, Sierra and Hum
boldt. There must also be many small pre-
cincts in other counties yet to be heard
from, which will be likely to show gain
for Douglas, but not enough TO overcome
LincoIn's plurality. We much regret the
loss Of the State to Douglas, but will en-
deavor to bear the defeat philosophically.
In the meantime, it is a source Of some
qualification to learn that the Douglas men
will have majority in both branches OF the
Legislature. They had eleven of the hold
over Senators, aud have elected eight GER
tain, and perhaps nine, others, and forty
four Assemblymen; giving them a majority
of two or three 10 the Senate and four 10
the Assembly. This will insure the election
Of sound national Democrat to the U. ).
Senate, in place Of DR.. Gwin. Let the De-
mocracy, therefore. be Of good cheer, and
hone for better luck next time.

From these figures, 1t would appear that
the voting population Of the county has re-
muined about the same since 1856; and that
the people took so little interest in the po-
litical contests of 1857 aud 1868, that 1000
voters never went to the polls. The popu-
latlon Of tha county, however, is gradually
increasing; but the increase is mostly in wo-
men aud children particularly the latter.
The official census Of this year, gives us a
total population Of lc,4l4, and the proper
tion of voters to the whole number of in-
habiiants is about three to seven; in old
settled States, the proportion is one voter
to six Inhabitants.

Pf- ADRIAN LINCOLN is a man of fifty
one years of age, who in early life was
in humble circumstances, and got part Of
his living by splitting rails. "Old Abe,
the Illinois rail-splitter, is what they
call him out West, and the rails which
he split are now in fence on a farm near
Chicago. One of these rails has already
been taken to Ohio, and it is said Tom
Corwin will stump the State, carrying
the rail on his shoulder. A letter from
Illinois says:
The old fence at Decatur is being
bought up at ten dollars per rail. and
forwarded by express to all parts of the
country. The lucky owner of the tim
Der has turned his possession to account
rather more sharply than was fitting the
occasion, but nothing can Illustrate the
irrepressble desire for those rails. y
Major Eggleston, president of the Gin
cinnati board of trade, paid his twenty
dollars for pair of them"
