IT's THERE He Is.-The Stockton Democrat
explains why Solomon Heydenfeldt insisted on
making nomination for Superintendent. He
declared in convention that he preferred giving
the State into the hands Of the Republicans
to allowing Union Democrats to carry it. On
being iuterrogated, he explained that he sym
pathized fully with the rebellion, and intended
to leave California, as soon as possible and
wanted before leaving to see the State given
over to The high-law party. They work into
each others bands We have always con
tended that in principle the abOlitionists and
secessionists are Identical but it is seldom SC
openly evidenced by their own language

EFFECTS OF COFFEE ON D1sEAsE-Mr. Mos

more used than in the English as well as in
Turkey, where it is the principal beverage
not only the gravel but the gout is scarcely
known. DR.. Faur relates, as an extraordinary
instance of the effect of coffee on gout, the case
of DR.. Deveran who was attacked with gout
at the age of twenty-five. and had it severely
until be was upward of fifty, with chalk stones
in the joints of his hands aud feet but for
four years preceding the time when the ac-
count of his case had been given to DR.. Faur
to lay before the public, he had, by advice,
used coffee, and had no return of the gout af-

A LEAF is torn from the tree by the rude
gale aud borne far away to some desert spot
to perish. Who misses it from amongst It's
fellows? Who is sad that it has gone? Thus
with human life. There are dear friends, per.
haps. who are stricken with grief when loved
one is taken and for many days the grave is
watered with tears and anguish. But by and
by the crystal fountain is drawn dry 2; the last
drop oozes out; the stern gates of forgetful-
ness fold back upon the exhausted spring and
the closed sepucher without waking single
echo by its footsteps.

\ CONFESSION that should be kept before
the people is that made by Mr. Dawes. a
Republican member of Congress, from Massa-
chusetts. More money said be, has been
stolen from the treasury, during the frs, year
of the Republican party, than was taken the
whole four years of the late Administration -
The greater force of the confession Is app7ecia-
ted when it is remembered that the late Ad-
ministration was one Of the most prohigate
that has ever afflicted the country.
What aggravaies these fearful robberies Of
the treasury is the fact that the creates, of
the robbers are still retained in the places of
trust, responsibility and honor.
These robberies will terribly augment the
taxes which will soon be levied upon the prop
erty and industry OF the country.

When was Young, a crime was crime
Il had no other name
And when twas proved against a man.
He had 20 bear the blame.
They called the man who stole. thief.
They wasted no fine feeling;
What folks call petite larceny.
In my day was called stealing.
They did not make a reprobate
The theme Of song and story,
As If the bloOdier were his hands,
The brighter was his glory.
And when murder had been done.
Could they the murderer find,
They hing him as they would crow
4 terror TO mankind.
But nowadays, it seems to me,
Whenever blood is split.
The murderer has sympathy,
Proportioned to his guilt.
And when the law has proved man
To be I second Cain,
dozen jurors will be found
To bring him in insane.
And then petitions will be signed.
And texts of Scripture twisted,
And every effort will be made
To have the law resisted.
Until the man who proved to he
As bloodthirsty as Nero,

Only greater hero.
When was young, if a man had failed,
He shnt up house and all.
And never yentured out till night,
If he ventured out at all.
His wife sold all her China plates
His son came home from college;
His girls lett school and learned to wash
And bake. and such like knowledge.
They gave np cakes and pumpkin pies.
And had the plainest eating,
And never asked folks home to tea.
And scarcely went to meeting.
The man that was bankrupt called

And hardly dared TO show his head
Among his townsfOlk then.
But now a-days when a merchant fails.
They say he makes penny:
His wife don't have gown the less

His sons still smoke their fine cigars
And drink their costly wine;
His wife goes to the opera,
And he has folks TO dine.
He walks the street.-the drives his gig

And what in my day were called debts,
Are now called liabilities
They call the man unfortunate"

AT WoRK.-We see that Gen. Nye, Gov
ernor of Nevada Territory, is canvassing the
State of California, making speeches in favor
of the Sham Union and Republican Fusion
party. 1t was part of the business for which
he was appointed. At the expense of the Gov
ernment, which pays him out of the pockets of
the people-Democrats as we'll as Republicans
he is enabled to travel around and work for
the success of abolitionism. Hardly half bis
time seems to be occupied with business of his
office as Governor of Nevada Territory-the
balance of it is spent in blowing his abolition
trumpet for the Administration.

Government has had bad effect upon enlist

sity or propriety of calling for more men,
when our army now outnumbers the rebels as
three to one. We are glad be has made this
discovery, and trust that the Administration
will profit by it. The people have been i'm.

HARD TO PLEAsE.-Mrs Buggins says it's
impossible for the women to satisfy the men in

were abusing the women because their dresses
were too large; now they make fun of their

She believes some men would be pleased to
see the women wear nothing at all.

THIS war has proved that the United States
has more military resources, and can put into
the field greater armies than any nation on

For WHAT PURPOSE Is THE WAR ?-Is
this war on the part of the National Govern
ment, not prosecuted TO enforce the laws under
the Constitution, and to restore the Union as
it was? If so. what treason is there in saving
so? If this is not true, have we any Govern
ment? BY what authority other than the
Constitution can Mr.. Lincoln call out au army
and spend the public money? If this war is
to destroy the Constitution and the Union, are
not the rebels doing as much in that direction
as the abolitionists, and therefore entitled to
the same credit? The war must be prosecu-
ted for the purpose of carrying out the provis-
ions of the Constitution and perpetuating the
Union, or else it is fraud upon our Country
and its Institutions. Whenever a man urges
the prosecution of the war for other purposes
be becomes rebel to his country.

WELL SAID.-The Providence Rhode Is

There are FIVE hundred abolitionists in our
State to day-we think we do not overrate
the number-who would not give days work.
or lift a hand, or move a finger, or speak o
word, to restore the Union Their position
is no secret. They are plain, out-spoken,
square to-the mark men.
But these very men can accuse Democrats,
who never uttered disloyal word-who have
been known as Union men and pleading for
the Union through their whole lives, while
men Of the Republican party have been propo
sing in resolutions and speeches, to let the
Union slide, they can accuse the Democrats
of disloyalty with all the coolness of polar
