with very large proportion of the people
North and South, as manifested by the recent
election, have always believed that the peoble
at all periods of their existanee have control of
this subject, yet an abstract question like this
should not fol one moment be placed in COM
parison with the greatest of all earthly bless
ings, the preservation of the Union of the
American States, aud that Constitution which
has secured to us such need of civil ard re-
ligious liberty as never before in ancient or
modern :ines has been vouchsaied to man.
1t is natural that much interest should be
felt in the position that California should occu-
py-in this unhappy struggle. The rich domain
and literal advantages of the Pacific Empire
have been acquired by the blood of the COM
mon country and purchased by the treasure
alike belonging to ALL Let US show them our
gratitude for this inheritance by our patriotic
efforts to preserve it for the enjoyment of a
proud and prosperous nation, and let the com

THE CONCEPTIONS AT WAsHTNGroN-Th
discovery of defacation. amounting, so far
as known, to $S70000 in the office of the Sec
retary of the Interior, at Washington, may be
taken as the 0uGm courier of long line of
similar revelation which may be expected to
follow within the next few weeks or months
The statement duplicating Secretary Floyd,
made by the embezzlipg clerk, and the arrest,
as a suspected accomplice, in this city, of
speculator who is known to have had most
dangerously intimate relations with the Secre=
tary of War, indicate only too clearly that we
may expect some most painful and astounding
disclosures should the authorities at Washing
ton fail to have power to arrest the investiga-
tion in its very earliest stages No men Of
ordinary intelligence, who have watched the
official course and known the antecedents of
some of the men in Mr.. Buchanans Cabinet,
can ever be persuaded that mere clerk in the
Office Of the Secretary of the Interior would
have been allowed to plunder in this wholesale
fashion, for SO long PERIOD if he and his ac-
oomplice outside the official circle had been
the only participants in the profits.
Looking back over the whole history of this
adminstration-th sale OF Fort Snelling and
the purchase of Wille:ts Point, the contracts
for supplying the army of Utah. and the infa-
nous developments in regard to Navy yards,
land sales, contracts Of every description, and
even the legal opinions in reference to the dis
puted mining claims in California; is not to
be doubted but that majority of the Cabinet
both had and have solid and forcible reasons
for desiring either the destruction of our Ma
iional Government, or general coDhagration
of all the public buildings in Washington, so
that no evidences Of their guilty completely in
frauds which have cost many millions to the
country, might be submitted to the scrutiny of
their successors. The time for plain speaking
has come, and we do not hesitate to avow our
deep-rooted conviction that to corruption in
the very highest quarters, much more than to
any political caucuses of difference, may be at
tributed the present distracted aspect of our
national affairs.
The above is an extract from an article in
the New York Times or the 25th December.

BIoGRAPHY OF McMANUs, THE ExILED PAT
RIor.-In alluding to the recent death of Ter
renee Below McManus, in San Francisco the
Monitor gives the following brief and interest
ing biography of the deceased
Mr. McManus was a native Of the county
Fermanagh Ireland, from which he passed
over 10 England very early in life, and entered
npon commercial pursuits in Manchester-
Subsequently he established himself in Liver
pool whelc he was widely known in his carly
manhood as an energetic, prosperous and most
honorable merchant The most implicit conf
dence was justly reposed in him by all his
correspondents, fer it was equally claimed by
his mercantile ability and his integrity, which
qualities were if possible, enhanced by the
eandor, manly frankness and generosity Of his
nature. The natural result of his position and
character-namely, prosperity, reputation and
general esteem-with the prospect of happy
future life, surrounded Mr. McManus, when, in
1916, he threw himself with all the ardor of
sincere and vehement nature, into the Irish
movement which then was beginning to assume
a serious aspect. Thenceforward he continued
an active member of the Irish confederation
though not prominently so, as he was averse to
public speaking. In l649, when matters came
to a climax, McMauus joined the leaders of the
movement, and fell with them. In September
of that year he was tried for high treason
along with O'Brien, Meagher, and Donohoe
and with them found guilty and sentenced to
death. This peralty was subsequently com
muted to transportation for life and be was
accordingly deported, in lS49, with his co suf-
ferers, to the British Penal Colony of Van
Diemans Land On his arrival at this settle
ment, the unbending, uncompromising spirit Of
Terrence B. McManus greatly irritated the
Governor or Chief Jailor, Sir William Denn-
son, who avenged himself on his prisoner by
various acts of special tyrrany, amongst The
rest, by sending him to work in the chain gang
amongst the very scum of English convict, the
cut-throats, burglars and desparadoes of the
colony. The hardships and surroundings that
he was exposed to at that time, to a great ex-
tent, broke both his constitution and his spirit
nevertheless, in the year 1851, he contriyed to
effect his escape from his prosecutors, and
landed in this city, where he received from all
classes of citizens, as well as his own country
men, most cordial and generous reception
Since that period, his story, though not
without some vicissitudes, is brief and sad
one, such as has to be too often told of ardent,
proud, aspiring natures, woefuly shipwrecked
in their career, stranded upon foreign shore,
with ruined fortunes, defeated hopes. and
crushed aspirations.

OCCASIONAL" writes to Forney's Press,
from Washington, that he has no doubt that
the disunionists propose to take possession Of
the Federal Capital by force or arms, and pre-
vent the Inauguration of Lincoln. he says
Not len days ago, one Of the most distinguish
ed Southern Senators coolly informed gentle
man that Mr.. Lincoln would not dare to come
here after the expiration of the term Of Mr..
Buchanan that this city would be seized and
occupied as the capital of the Southern Con-
feneracy, and that Mr.. Lincoln would be com
PEELED to take his oath of Office in Philadelphia
or New York

The APAcHEs. The Tucson correspondent
of the S. F. Times, writing January 7tb, says;
About week ago party of Apaches car
ried off two senortos and an old woman from
a ranch near Finaja, in Sonora they took the
three out into the road, about seven miles from
the house, and then gave the old woman a
wooden cross and told her to proceed to Tucson
and show the cruciix to " Yuma" an Indian
Interpreter here, with the erequest that he would
bring powder, lead, whisky and cotton cloth
to ransom the two young girls. The woman
has not yet made her appearance. A Mexi-
can hombre was killed at the same time. 1t
is hard to penetrate into the secret and hidden
mysteries of the Apaches. They have curious
customs, and their ways are devious and past
finding out.

Bull vs.. BEAR.-The Mariposa Gazette
says; A valuable horse was killed not long
since on Bull creek by bear also COW was
much injured. Bruin, however. met his reward,
for large bull plunged at him while trying
to kill the COW, driving one of his horns its full
length into him. After this the bear was
quickly finished by the infuriated bovine"

The "GRAPEsHoT REvoLvER. Col La
Mat, of Louisiana, is the inventor of a new
pistol, which he calls the Grapeshot Revol-
ver.' 1t has receiued the approval of Gen.
Scott, the Secretary of War, and board of
army officers appointed to attest the merits OF
new inventions in arms. 1t is about the size
and weight of Colts Army Revolver. upon
which it is modelled, all the advantages of
which it embraces, but has several chambers.
and central barrel upon which the others re-
volve, which central barreI carries a heavy
minnie rifle ball, or cartridge of fifteen buch-
shot. All of these are discharged by one ham
mer and trigger, and deliver ten fires. There
is also an extra set of chambers, easily attach
ed, which increase the discharge to nineteen.
The weapon is loaded and handled in the same
manner as the army revolver, and carries the
came distance. The pistol is handsomely fin
ished and can be sold for $50.

A Mothers S Kiss.

child whose infancy was joy,
little boy of noble mien,
Now tossing gaily many toy,
Now romping through the garden green
His parents blue-eyed little pet,
He trpped one morn and down he fell;
His mother cried, Come Willie, let
Me kiss the spot and make it we'll
mothers kiss hath power to cure;
Her love Is balm for every wound,
Her gentle smile, her words so pure,
Can heal the bruise and make us sound
And if there comes bruised heart,
And bitter tears arise and SWELL
mothers love still sooths the smart
mothers kiss will make it well.
What matter if the world forget
To praise us for the good we do,
Or, if it never pays the debt
Which to our truthfulness is due?
A mothers sympathy is ours
Wherever on earth we dwell;
Though gone forever childhood's hours
The mother kiss still makes us WE'LL
MY motDer S halr Is gray, and mine
Is slightly touched with silver streaks,
am a full grown man-but Time
Has deeply marked my mothers cheeks;
Yet still her thrilling kiss is warm
Upon my brow imprinted well;
Through all my life il hath charm
My mothers kiss to make me well.
From infancy until to-day,
In sickness, sorrow, and mistrust,
Her gentle words drive care away
And lift my spirit from the dust,
She tells me that the angels call,
That she must go witt, God to dwell;
My broken heart it such befall,
No mothers kiss viii make thee well.
