BAD RULE FOR THE SouTH.-In reply to
the Sacramento Standard, which declares that
each State ought to be entitled to represen
tation in proportion to the Democratic votes
she cast at the preceding election, and not as
now according TO her vote in the electoral
college, the Shasta Courier remarks:
This may be fair rule, and vet we are
opposed TO it, for the reason that the south
which, as parties are now oagauizcd, is safe
for the Democracy-is not now as strongly
represented in National Convention as her
Democracy entities her to be, and this re
form OF the STANDARD would still further
reduce her strength. The North now has
about 60 more votes in Convention than the
south, while all the South is certainly Demo-
cratic and but few of the Northern States
can thus be cIassed. Why, therefore, would
the standard wish to still further reduce the
strength of the South ?
AT the last Presidential election Mr. Blu
chaEan received in the Southern States 609,-
5oI votes, and in the Northern States .224,
100 votes--or 5574 votes more than double
the number given him in the south.
Hence the Standard will perceive that. if
this reform" was now in force, the Southern
states, instead Of having over 1870 votes in
Convention, would have but 100 or lessl
We are under the impression that the sug-
gesiion Of that sort of reform would not
tie received by Southern Democrats with any
very remarkable enthusiasm.

CAMP NEAR BLACK Rock, May 9th.
EDuoR DEMooRAr Since my last writing
we have been bufTeting with the inclement
skies and bowling winds of this uncongenial
cline, having had several days of the most
disagreeaLle Nay heather that Californians
ever experienced, alternating between wind
and snow and snow and wind, spiced on last
evening with an occasional thunder gust.
This region of country IS one Of the worst
burned up by volcanic heat that have ever
seen aud on the whole presents an aspect as
cherries and uninyidng as the eye Of man is
wont to rest upon. But even here there are
curiosities Of Nature that absorb the interest
of the traveller and serve in q measure to
draw his thoughts from the sombre gloom
that the general face OF Nature around him
wears. With no standing timber within IL
hundred miles OF this place, we fiud petrided
logs of " God some or / feet in diameter,
while waters hot and cold gush almost from
the same fountain
Game Of any kind is scarce and the un-
lAthl ft1HtofC WHO totite mere 10 pYONpttt
must rely on his lardcr and not on his gun
for subsistence There have beeen several
leads discovered here that are said to contain
silver, but whether in sufficient quantities to
justify working is unknown as yet, as the
country has been but slightly prospectod-
There are also said to be places whore gold is
found near here but the future must deter
mine the amount of the mineral resources Of
this region. The boys are in fine health and,
take US all together, we are just about such
quaint, unwashed unshaved set of ragamutins
in appearance as sir John Falstaff so fatty
asserted he would not march thro Coventry
with; but, beneath these rough exterors there
beat the generous, true manly hearts to con.
eeive and the iron nerves to execute the pur
poses of life, and we are having rather a
pleasant time, all things considered. Hoping
to be with you ere long,

The Pony EXPRESS IN DANGER.-W. W
Finney, again in San francisco for the Pony
Express, on being informed, Of the destruction
Of the station (already mentioned) at Simp-
sons Park, applied to eneral Clark, to know
if some protection could not be offered to the
route. He thought that if General Clark
would send force OF seyenty-fve mounted
men and have them di tributed along the
route from Sand Springs (sixty miles beyond
Carson Valley to Dry Creek, a hundred
miles further east, they would serve the
stations against any force Of Indians likely to
attack them. Ifthis aid is not furnished, Mr..
elnney Is fearful that the Express will have
20 oe stopped General Clark replied that
he could do nothing-that the limited num-
Der oil men under his command made if i'm.
possible for him to detail seveptv.five mon
for the proposed duty Mr.. Finney also rem.
resented to General Clark, that there ara
now coming to California by this route six
or seven hundred emigrants, whose safety
ought to be looked TO. J. W. Coleman, agent
in Sacramento of the Pony Express saws
there is no doubt of the correctness of
the statements made BIZ Mr. Finney to Gen.
Clark.

GREELEY IN TRouBLE-Ilorace Greeley has
raised the ire Of the radical Republicans in
Washington and the western tates, because
in an article in the Tribune, while declaring
his antagonism to the political principles Of
Senator Douglas he spoke kindly of him and
argued to show that the full measure of his
strength was not ind Gated in the Charleston
Convention. This was enough to incense the
Republicans, and at last accounts they were
talking of starting a new Republican organ
in New York. Moneyed men, it was said,
had offered to invest their money in the en-.
terprise.

THEATER.-A large and brilliant audience
assembled, last evening to witness the per
formanees Of the celebrated Marsh troupe,
just returned from Oroville The entertain
ment began with the Maid Queen, which was
presented in the most admirabls manner, the
scenery was magnificent and the acting su-
perb. As Sir Rupert, Miss Anna Gourley
acted ina style not TO be surpassed by many
actresses even older than herself AS
Sehnapps, We thought two or three times
that little G. W. Marsh ought 10 have been
killed, in mercy to the risibilities OF bis audi
ence Miss Louise as Queen Lurlne was en-
chanting. She is a very promising young
actress, and seems TO have studied. That lit
tie embodiment Of music and loyeiness Miss
HELEN, played Idex eharmingly. Master
Louis played the Demon Of the Rhine in true
Demon style, and won much admiration.
The Rendezvous went off admirably, and
little Marsh crowned himself therein with
new glories.
Tonight, will be presented the romantic
drama of the Forty Thieves, or the Robbers
and the Woodcutter Of the Black Forest
This thrilling drama will be put upon the
stage with fine effect The performance
will conclude with the farce of My Neigh

Reports of Speeches.

An effort is going to be made in the House
of Representatives, we believe, to put an end
to the present prevalent practice Of sending
forth to the country revised speeches Of mem
bers Of Congress instead Of the speeches ac-
ually delivered at is notorious fact
says an Atlantic exchange. "that from the
Globes reports il is very difficult to get an
accurate notion Of the character Of any de-
bate, and especially of one in which many
members participate" 1t follows then that
a man that rends the so-called speeches Of
honorable Senators and Representatives is
humhugged They have said no such thing
as is set down, but something altogether dii-
ferent Those fiery bursts Of eloquenee
which cause the eye of the reader to diate
and his breast to heave, and his soul to light
en- with touch Of the promethean flame, are
all after thoughts-pass ges which the ora
tor wishes he had said and which he intends
to make the public believe he did say. Those
mastery specimens Of long continued and
closely knitted augmentation, are the care
ful productions of the closet and never utter
ed, in many cases at all. 1t is pity that
there is SO much humbug
Before the present system of reporting
speeches began, the world regretted the loss
Of many great efforts which bhzed and were
extinguished with the hour leaving only a
traditional glory behind. The grand orato-
rical displays Of a Hampden, in the days Of
the First Charles; the smooth but solid and
profound eloqueuce ola Halifax in the days
/ Of the Second Charles and the Second james
the wizard power of the elder Pitt, in more
modern days; and the brilliant, gorgeous
outbursts Of a Sheridan, nre for the most part
traditional. and we shall never know those
men 10y the words which they used. A few
ike Edmund Burke having written their
speeches and delivered them as they were
written, will be read and estimated by pos
terity at their true value Scarcely, howev
err can we congratulate ourselves upon the
perfection of the reportorial art, if il is TO be
made mere instrument of deception, if the
reporter is to go through the farce Of taking
bis notes, and subsequently publishing the
undelivered written speech handed him by
the speaker. Spurious regulations are thus
manufactured, and altogether erroneous i'm
pressions, as to what occurs in the parlianen
tary contests of the day, sown broad cast
over the land.
1t is an evil, just as all humbugs are evil,
and should be corrected

TIE STANDARD CONDEMNED.-The boiling
position Of she Sacramento Standard is con-
demned by nearly every Democratic paper in
the State. The san Francisco Herald refuses
10 have any part or lot with the see9ders
from the Charleston Convention or those who
sustain them here. "The Righteousness ofthe
bolt" it says, eve must call in question, when
such statesmen as Hunter and Guthrie and
Lane expressed their disfavor Of she act By
permitting their names to be mentioned in
the Convention after the secession had taken
place; when we also know that the delegates
from California remained in their seats and
when we hear that Mr.. Stephens of Georgia.
Mr. Flournoy, of Arkansas, gentlemen fun
suspected patriotism, repudiuted the i.l-ad
vised action Of the dissatisfied few. In the
face OF all this, we can feel no sympathy with
gentlemen in this State whose feeble arms
would raise the standard Of rebellion against
the discipline, usages, and edlcts Of the Ma
tional Democracy, and against the deliberate
counsel of the wisest in the nation"
The Amador Ledger is equally outspoken
in its sentiments The Shasta Courier, edited
by Southern man. condemns the Standard
in strong terms. The Mountain Democrat is
very decided indeed, in its opposition to the
seceders, and even satirizes The self coustitu-
ted leader of the STANDARD The Butte

its opinions, is actually violent in its denun-

has an admirable article addressed to the
Democracy of old Keystone, urging the
party one and all to 90 right in and par.
tcip1te in the spontaneous movement now
going on in that State. in the way of re-
spending TO the action of the Reading Con.
vention. We extract portion OF the article
Tor the consideration OF the Democrats
Of all parts Of this State, and urge them to
profit by it. The Post says:
Let every living Democrat in tae State
take part in the preparation for the great
contest which is approaching. Now is the
time, when the campaign is just commen-
cling, to coDirm the wavering, strengthen
the weak, and inspirit those who muy have
been di%heartened and di-ponding. Now is
the time TO excite, in all mind-, an interest
in the great work which is to be done.
At once let the Democracy go to work, and
in every ward, and township. and school
district, in the State, meke those prelimina.
ry mevements, which are most important to
success. Organize your Democratic clubs,
sCCulC ycul opcdhCIeS SCt w
gee clubs, 7pp1int your committees, raise
unds to deray the necessary expenses Of
the campaigr, and do every possible thing
which can be done, to be ready Tor the great
struggle OF the year. Get up clubs for
your Democratic newspapers, circulate Dem.
ocrutlc documents. stir up the people aud
let them know that you are in earnest.
Immediate steps should he taken to lei the
people, the masses, know what Democratic
duclrne Is and what Democratic measures
tend to secure and confirm Our opponents,
by misrepre: e:enatlons, through their polIti-
cal "ewspnpers-by telling hqlf the truth,
aud mixing it up with falshood, are doing
what they can TO msIead the masses. All
that is needed is ligh, to induce correct
political acti3n. The members of the party
owe it TO thense YES, TO their candidates, to
their neyhbors and friends, and u their
country, tnat correct Democratic doctrines
should be thoroughly disseminated. Now
is the time to do it. Give every one access
to eurh knowledge, in order that Democrats
Will, Ut 81 times, and on all occasions, be
prepared to de'end their own principles and
to attack those OF the adverse party.
