AMERICAN CITY UNION CLUB.-On Sat-
urday evening, the 10th inst, the nucleus
of Union Club was formed by the meet
ing of some five or six good Unionists, at
the Willows, in American City-Mr. J.
Patten accepting the Presidency, and Mr..
J. H. White the Secretaryship, until
regular organization could be effected.
On Monday evening, the 18th inst, the
first regular meeting took place at the
store of N. Boohinger, and the club was
regularly organized by the election OF +.
+. Glover, President; J. Keepers, Vice
President J. G. White, Secretary; 81. S.
VIM, Treasurer; and G. Srother, Mar
shall. Last evening the third regular
meeting of the club was held at the Col
Inns House, and at the close seventy-one
candidates had been admitted to
membership, which is nearly one-hak the
legal voters of the township. After the
club had concluded Its business it was
addressed by Capt. Weir in most elo-
quent speech. replete with logic, poetry
and patriotism.
The eloquent Irishman, E. A. Patten,
also addressed the club, taking for his
text, the word democracy" and most
happily indicated the time-honored
Jacksonian democracy from any affinity
or connection with the so called demo-
cracy of the present day. Mr.. II. Hunt
followed. taking for his theme "Com-
promise" and proving conclusively
that William H. Seward was right
when he said that there was an irrepressi-
BILE conflict between the opposing and en-
during forces of freedom and slavery.
The club will hold its next meeting at the
Collins House on Saturday evening, and
after the regular business it will be ad-
dressed by Messrs. W. 81. Clagett, w. K.
Weir and E. A. Patten. All true Union
men in the township are cordially invited
10 come forward and subscribe their names
on the roll of the club.
MUD LAKE.-The view from the win
dow of our Sanctum is not as one might
saw picturesque, neither cheerful-stin it
is interesting. The water which runs down
Crown Point Ravine, and which, once
upon a time did cross the road above our
Office, is now diverted from that course,
and running down the street forms mud
lake across the entire width of that thor
oughfare and of sufficient length and depth
for delightful bathing-place for the whole
porcine population Of the town. The
heavily laden quartz teams get stalled IN
this mud hole, and the drivers curse and
veil and swear and thrash in a manner
that for a week or ten days was quite live
" and pleasant to hear. But We are be-
coming tired of it now, and would almost
be willing to consent to have Sam Arnold
order the lake filled up. Yes, we guess
he had better fill it up.
RALLY ROUND THE FLAG, BOYS The
Gold Hill Union Club, No. /, will hold
meeting on Saturday evening (to-morrow)
at the brick hotel below the Piute mill,
lower Gold Hill. There are a great many
Union men down that way who are de-
sirous of joining the Club-and, perhaps,
another one will be formed for that yicin-
ity. Let all true Union men turn out on
Saturday evening, and let the fires Of pat
riotism burn until Gold Hill precinct re-
deems itself, and imported voters are
taught lesson which they will remember.
The elective franchise is one of our dear
est rights, so let every one who is entitled
TO its exercise duly appreciate its value,
that it may not again be abused by fraud
and corruption.
