some years ago, when Arctic expeditions
in search of Sir John Franklin and his I'M
fortunate companions were the special Juror
Of the era, we saw well executed caricature
Of supposed scene transporting near the
North Pole. A dozen enaciated, hungry
sailors, half buried in snow, were sitting in
a semi-circle around feeble fire under the
lee of an immense boulder of ice, their boots
being hung on pegs before the Hickering en-
bers, in process of roasting for dinner. A
little retired from the men, sitting on their
launches in an outer circle, were twelve
huge white polar bears, their eyes eagerly
fixed on the sailors, whom they were watch
ing with most deyouring looks. Underneath
the group was written waiting for Sup
plies" We were reminded of this sugges-
tive picture while reading Memminger's
finance report, wherein he proposes to OBJ
tain means for the support of the rebel ar
mics by funding his one thousand millions
of Confederate debt, and raising taxes at the
bayonet's point to pay the interest on it in

not help thinking that the white bears of the
North would deyour him and his famished
soldiers before tteg could get their boots cook

Humboldt Matters.

The Humboldt Register OF last Saturday
has come to hand, and from it we clip the
following paragraph.
"The prospect is good. Owners Of good
lodges have quit thinking of getting deeds or
certificates of stock into market, in order 20
realize 4 few dollars foot from sale on
Montgomery street. Where ledge is good,
the first concern now is TO get it into the best
shape for regular work. Companies incor-
pora;e, so as to have a more perfect method
of doing business; SO that each owner may
be made to bear his proportion Of the work
expense. They incorporate under the Ter
ritorial law, that the Trustees may be resi-
dents of the Territory, and have some
knowledge of the situation and best mode of
working the mine. Notwithstanding the
dull times, the work is going on in earnest,
and as soon as spring opens, and parties get
to putting up machinery for crushing, the eff
feet of the long Winters work will be mani
fest. Humboldt City, Star, Unionville, Dun
Glen, Santa Clara, and other points, will
emerge next spring from the stupor which
hangs over them now. Better quiet times,
with empty streets, and know that work.
men are penetrating the mountains, than full
streets, lively gambling, and no work doing.
More Of the right sort of work has been done
in Humboldt during the past three months
than in all time preceding"

The Currency Question.

As the Especial contract" law is before
our Legislative Assembly and creating some
public discussion, the following views of the
Sacramento Union, upon the similarcmOve-
mcnt in the California Legislature, may per-
haps be considered pertinent. That paper
says:
"SenatoT Shafter made good point in
the public policy portion OF the Issue when
he showed from the Acts Of Congress that
that body recognized i marked distinction
between gold coin and legal tender notes.
1t passed laws authorizing the issue Of bonds,
the interest on which the nation promised TO
pay in gold coin. This was drawing broad
distinction between gold and paper; it was
conceding that gold coin was more valuable
than the legal tender notes of the National
Government. In collecting revenue OF the
nation, Congress has Disseminated in very
strong manner in favor OF gold as 4 circula
ting medium. II requires customs to be paid
in specie, while all other National taxes TIRE
received in legal tender notes. As Congress
has 50 lcSislatcd, it would seem that the
State Legislature did not commit Il criminal
oiFense against the National Government
when it leSiSlatcd so as to recognize a dis
tinction between gold and paper, and passed
an Act to enforce contracts between individ-
ualS, founded on that distinction. In truth,
there are now two kinds of legal tender cur
rency-gold and silver and legal tender notes.
Each is made a legal tender by Act of Con-
gresS. How, then, can it be contrary to pat
riotism and public policy to make contracts
payable in legal tender gold and silver in
preference to legal tender treasury notes
Aud how can law passed to enforce spe-
citic performance of such contracts be con-
sidered contrary to public policy: The con-
trary to public policy argument does not rest
on firm foundation.
The Senate is wasting its time on this bill.
1t will fail, and the people will rejoice in con-
sequence. They are not moving in the mat
ter; they have uttered no complaint and
asked for no further legislation on the sub
ject. The people well know. if the war OF
rebellion is substantially closed within the
year, that the difference between gold and
greenbacks will gradually disappear, until
they will both stand on the same level. For
that time they are willing to patiently wait,
while they desire to have their present cur
reucy remain nndisturbcd by any action of
the Legislature. That body, therefore, will
act the part of wisdom when it determines to
let well enough alone.

4 FREE State Convention, composed Of
Southern men favorable to the abolition Of
slavery, was to have been held at Louisville
on the Sth of January. 1t has been post
poned temporarily, for the reason, says the
ST. Louis Democrat, Of December oath, that
"the Radical anti-slavery movement i'll the
South has recently, and since the call for a
convention was signed, exhibited such yigor
and extended development, that the work to
be performed is greatly enlarged beyond what
was at first contemplated. Instead of being
designed to organize such movement, it
has now to deal with an organization in full
progress" 1t really begins to look as if the
North, were it so disposed, could not, now
that the people of the South have had their
eyes opened, prevent them from eXtirpating,
now and forever, the foul cause Of ali their
present sutferings.

PARDON OF RrBEIY, THE PiRATE.-The
pardon of Alfred Rubery, convicted of piracy
in the Chapman case, reads as follows:
Whereas, One Alfred Rubcry was convicted
on or about the 18th Of October, 1868, in the
Circuit Court for the District OF California,
OF engaging in and giving aid and comfort to
the existing rebellion against the Government
Of this country, and was sentenced to ten
wears imprisonment and to pay fine OF &c.
600; and whereas the said Alfred Rubery is 4
subject of Great Britain, and his pardon is
desired BY John Bright, of England, now,
therefore, be it known that I, Abraham Lin
coin, President of the United States of Amcri-
ca, these and divers other considerations
thereunto moving, and especially as public
mark OF the esteem held BY the United States
of America for the high character and steady
friendship of the said John Bright, do hereby
grant 4 Pardon to the said Alfred Rubcry, the
same to begin and take effect on the 10Th day
of January, 1854, on condition that he shall
leave the country within thirty days from and
after that date II will be seen that the
President places the granting of the pardon
to Rubery upon the ground that John Bright,
our friend, asks for it. 1t is understood that
the family of Rubery are intimately coRnec-
ted in acquaintance with Bright.

WHATS THE MATTER ?-Conccrning the
depreciation of the Chollar stock, the BWI-
lsttR says: THE extraordinary fall in the
value Of shares in this claim, from nearly
seven hundred to two hundred and eighty-six
dollars within ten days, is matter Of con-
siderable Importance not only IN holders Of
stock in that claim, but TO stockholders gen.
orally. We cannot see any good reason why
this company's stock should be so much de-
pressed when others of infinitely less value
are going up" The works on the Chollar
are among the best and most substantial IN
the Territory, and the location Of the claim
is on the best ledge thus far discovered in
this district-the ores heretofore extracted
from it have been found to yield large per
centage of bullion-then why this depres-
sion in its value We fear there are other
causes for this than meet the public eve.
But two months since Chollar stock was sell
ing at twelve hundred dollars; now 1t is
quoted at two hundred and fifty dollars.
There have been no Developments to war
rant such decline"

BULLION FROM DESERT RocK-We saw
yesterday piece of bullion about the size of
pine nut, valued at 81, and composed of
about three-quarters gold and one-quarter
silver. which was extracted from five pounds
of rock from the Robert Ellis Company's
claim in Desert District. Another piece
about the size Of a large shirt button and
nearly all gold, valued at 81 60, was taken
from two pounds of rock from groupings of
the Cleropatra Company, also in Desert Dis
triet. This rock was worked by regular
process at Rigby's Mill, and the rock from
which this ore was extracted was broken off
the groupings in Desert District and brought
here by Mr. Risby himself. These compa-
mics evidently have good thing.-Enion.

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF SouTH
CARoLINA.-The Richmond EnQmrer of No
vember Sd, says: "The Governor of South
Carolina sent in his message to the Legisla-
ture on Friday last. 1t is chiefly devoted to
State matters. He makes the following re-
ference to the war: "Untiring energy and
perseverance are essential to success. A
bitter and willy foe watches our every move
ment, prepared to take every advantage. Our
people have counted the cost, and have de-
tcrmined upon Independence or humiliation.
1t is ours to leave nothing undone to secure
the object of this revolution. Never was
the remark more applicable that the price Of
liberty is eternal vigilance. The State Leg
isla.ures have no unimportant part to play in
this great drama. They can aid the Confed-
crate Government by assisting in clothing the
troops, in repelling the raids Of our enemies
and in feeding the families Of our soldies in
arms. In all measures which you in your
wisdom may adopt, looking to the successful
issue OF this great struggle, you may, gentle
men, rely upon my hearty cooperation"
