WHAT HAS MARSHAL RABE DON'T
Marshal Rabe has offended his party, or
been guilty Of great blunder, or done
something more serious still, judging from
the following, which we take from the
letter Of the San Francisco correspondent
of the Republican:
"Rabe, the q. 8. Marshal. il is said, will be
removed, not on the old and general charge pI
irrepressible and unbounded egotism, but on
. new one, not 50 creditable OF excnsable.-
What il is will appear in due time. WatrOus,
too, than whom = more inefficient and worth
less mail agent never neglected Uncle Sans
bu' mess, has gone east, IL ID rumored, to be
decapitAted."
Again, we ask, what has Marshal Rabe
done? Something not creditAble or ex.
cusable, " says the Republican, but which
might be impOlitic to disclose at the pres
emit time. Why withhold It from the
peOpleI WatrOus, another Federal Off
cial, it seems, is inefficient and worth
less! Complimentary. certainly, to I'm
Gle Abe's appOintees, and doubtless strict
ly true Good for the Republican. II
is exhibiting the good points Gifts friends.

WILL PAss.-A friend at San Francisco
writes us that the bill districting the State
into Congressional Districts, will certainly
pass Two have been introduced-Shurt-
lifts and Hathaway's-and he does not
say which ono. Each We believe provides
for an election this coming September.
Ours will be the Central District. We
learn from the Republican that Staples,
of San Joaquin; Cavis, of Tuoiumne ;
Wilson Flint, Cornelius Cole, and W. H.
Weeks, of Sacramento; futile, Of Placer,
and Thomas Fitch, editor Of the RepuJ-
licGn, are all aspirants OH the Republican
side. We rather think our neighbor will
find Uncle Weeks too heavy for him.
Weeks is plausible and effective speak
er, is popular both with his party and
outsiders, has many devoted friends, and
is respected by his political enemies. That
he would make a faithful, Industrious and
efficient representative, oil who know him
will admit. But judging from the change
that is going on in public sentiment, we
shall never again send Republicans to
Congress.

TIE IRREPREssIBLE -CoNFLiCT.--Said q
Iaboring man the other day, who has been
in the habit of voting the Republican
ticket, II begin to see where the ire
pressible conflict is to be, il the slaves Of
the South are to be emAncipated, as the
AbOIitionists declare. 1t will be between
the white hbOrers of the North and the
slaves turned loose to compete with them. "
And 30 it will be, Of course, there's no
denying it. II these States are OveTrun
with wandering and half-civilized negroes,
compelled to work simply for their bread
and clothes, the price Of labor will natu-
rally run down to . low figure, and the
white laborers will feel the first pressure.
The rich will employ them for servants,
and thus throw out'Of employment white
men, or force them to work for starvation
wages. II will be . government Of capt.
tai against IabOr-a government Of tho
rich at the expense Of the poor.

Mons PUBLIC ROBBERY.-Nearly oil OIL
our Atlantic exchanges are filed with &C
counts Of swindling by Government con
tractors. In every department of the
Government frauds have been perpetrated
By men holding high positions, which are
unparalleled for their enOrmity. Millions
Of dollars have been squandered BY rcck-
lsss agents, or bestowed upon worthless
hvogites. The Cincinnati Enquirer,
after referring to the disclosures made to
The Congressional Investigating Commit
tso in that city, and stating some Of the
results attained, remarks as follows: >

MUST BE SToPPED.-Capitallsts are be-
coming frightened at the enormous swim
dies Of army aud navy contractors and
agents. The Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal Of Commerce
says: "The bankers now assembled in
Washington represent it Is said, . capital
Of two hundred millions, and one Of them
from Boston has made this remark That
if the war is to be carried on economical.
". Boston win give hsr last dollar and
thea her ereait-bat IL the public swind-
ling is to continue, the Government shall
not have another dollar"

TIE ABoLlrIoNIsrs.-Iti is a little singu.
lar that in this State not word is said
against the AbolitiOnists by the neutral
and "Union Democratic" newspapers
OF course we do not expect the Republi-
cans to say anything disParagingly with
respect to large and influential wing Of
their party, but there is no excuse for the
silence Of the neutrals. In the Northern
States the AbolitiOnists are not treated 10
tenderly. The Providence (R. ~ Post
says, between the AbOlitiOnists and the
Secessionists there Is but little to choose !;
both are revolutionists; both destroy the
Government we have had. The success
Of the Abolition policy would not be the
success of the Union and the Constitution,
nor would it be the execution Of the laws.
1t would be revolution-a radical change
of the Government. To such q changed
Government, no loyal man would owe
anything. The war would not be war
to execute the laws and put down rebel
lion on the part Of the Federal Govern
ment; it would be war Of revolution no
better than the war waged by the Con-
federate States. All conservative Union
men look with distrust and dread upon
the policy Of Jim Lane and bis Abolition
hackers.

No PARTY HONEsry.-The Washington
correspondent of the Boston Herald over.
heard some members Of Congress, recent
ly, conversing rather loudly. Said one
of them tell you, it will never do to
make any more Brigkdier Generals who
are not Republicans; for If we are not
careful, we shall have SO many Democrats
in Office in this army that the Republican
party will be overthrown. This army
and its leaders will ere long have the
whole country in its hands, and dictate to
US in political affairs" There were more
remarks of the same tenor, and the con-
Versation between the gentleman betrayed
the fact that these Congressman were
much more solicitous for the preservation
of their political PARTY than for the defeat
of the rebels and the salvation Of the coun-
try. Better that the country should suf-
fer through the ineficiency and imbecili-
ty Of Republican Brigadiers, than that the
Democratic party should once more re-
gain power.

HUMBUG.-A Dalles correspondent oil
the San Francisco Bulletin says that al
least one hundred Of the immigrants to
Salmon river have persisted, and that the
suffering in that region is very great He
represents the mines as q humbug, and
denOunces those who are getting up an
excitement in that region. Reports Of
the richness Of the mines are manufac-
tured by interested parties to entice the
creduloUs to visit them, and once there
the merchants and others fleece them.

IN the Union for bis boldness and loyalty
to the Democratic party.
The following, which we take from the
UniOns Geographic dispatch, under date
of Washington, March 4th, is signifi-
cant and speaks for itself:
"The ccnfiscation bill was taken up.
"McDOugall quoted from Justice Story and
other writers, showing there could be no con-
6scaiiOu OF private property. He contended
that the provision in the bill relating 70 freeing
slaves, was uKcOnstitutiO nal, and quoted from
the declarations Of the President aud Secretary
of SLaIa 10 ahpw that asAADiireJy diheEeDt pali-
cy has been declared w me Government He

virtue of victors. W. ShOuM 90 Jor'card sOit1

peace IN the other"
For months the mOngrel newspapers Of
California and their sneaking, craven abet-
tors have Indignantly denounced as for
favOring terms Of peace honorable, ac-
ceptablc and satisfactory to both parties.
Gen. McDougalI reiterates in the United
States Senate, in the face Of the Repubh'
can leaders and their army Of retainers,
what We have suggested in the columns
of the DEMOCRAT, that 1--WE should go for
ward with our common Constitution in
the one hand and peace in tho other"
Will the helOts Of the Republican party,
the miscreants who conduct nominal
Democratic papers, denOunce General
McDOugall, and call him ''secessiOnist and
traitor" for recommending to Ego forward
with our common Constitution in the one
hand and peace in the other! Will they
have the hardihOod, the baseness to deny
that he is q Douglas Democratic Will
they question his lOysltyi Judging from
the past, the fawning creatures will do
nothing Of the kind. They will either
not notice his speech, or they will praise
it and, with shameless effrOntery, swear
that it expresses their sentiments and
what they have always contended for.
