Andy Johnson,s Pluck.

The New York correspondent of the Bos.
ton journal gives the following anecdote
illustrating the pluck of President johnson 4
+" The day before the execution of the
assasslns, company of gentlemen were at
the Astor House most Of whom agreed that
Mrs. Surratt would not be executed. some
assigning the reason that the President
would not have pluck enough to brave
public sentiment and allow woman to be
hung. \ well known merchant of New
York who was present, cody remarked.
"A man who talks about Andy johnson 5
want OF pluck evidently don't know the man.
II Andy johnson has signed the death war
rant OF Mrs. Surratt she will die. If he had
intended to reprieye her he would not have
signed IT. lie added, Let me tell Won

when the city was surrounded by 10000
rebel troops, who demanded its surrender.
q n. Buell. was in the city in command of
10000 men. lie determined on the surren-
der of the city to the rebel forces. lie came
to Governor johnson and announced to him
that he could not defend the city, and that
Nashville must be surrendered. The Coy
ernor heard him quietly through, and then

WADE HAMrToN.-This noted rebel once
declared he would never surrender, and
when he did ''come down." he swore he
would not ask for pardon but would = die
first" This was in the good old fashioned
Southern style, and looked tragedy all over
But Wade thinks better Of it, and concludes
not to die first just at present, and 50 he
seeks the President and begs his PARDON
Wade is evidently returning to his senses
at least this looks that way. r. NJ T..
Hunter is also anxious for forgiveness, and
we need not be surprised to hear of Breckin.
ridge Slidell Mason, and more of that ilk
creeping slyly to Washir gton one of these
days. Their bravado, like Wade IIamp
toms, must be all gone by this time. Phil

LOWER SPRINGs.-Under the auspices of
Mr.. l.. \. Kelly a company has been incor-
porated under the name Of the . Union Gold
and Silver Mining Company" with twenty
two hundred shares, at 500 each. The
company has purchased the ",Jones ledge, T"
at Lower Springs, for the trifing sum of 81
&c per foot, and will at once proceed to erect
a steam mill on a convenient site. for the
purpose of working it. Messrs Boarman,
Bradway, and Lyon. of Red Bluff, are the
trustees, NJ. IL. Myrick, secretary, and L.
A. Kelly. superintendent. The working
capacity Of the mill in contemplation will be
about ten tons per day, and of the kind known
as Little Devil This company will levy
but one assessment, and that will not exceed
81 25 the trustees believing that the sum
thus realized will be ample for erecting the
mill, when it will be self sustaining, as there
is considerable rock out, and plenty of easy
access. The stock is nearly all owned at the
Bluff

COPPER CRY SCHOOL DISTRICTS. Z.
Hicks, Clerk of the Board of Trustees Of the
above named district, recently made a report
of its financial condition, which we find pub
lished in the Pioneer. Mr. Hicks finds the
district somewhat in debt, and goes beyond
his duties as Clerk of the Board. misrepre-
sents facts and figures, throws blame where
none exists, in order that be and the other
trustees may stand justified in having created
an indebtedness that is now burthen upon
the district He says the Superintendent
informed him that the July apportionment
would probably equal that of the preceding
January; aud therefore the trustees deter
mined to have five months school. Now,
as every one else had the same base to guess
from, we are at loss to see why blame
should be thrown upon the Superintendent
for making bad guess, more than upon
others Had the Superintendent known that
the Supreme Court was going to decide that
the State could not sell unsurveyed lands, he
could have guessed better,-he could have
told Mr.. Hicks that when that source Of rev.
enue was cut of by the Court, the apportion-
ment would be smaller. Again, Mr.. Hicks
says:
But instead of the July apportiOnment be-
ing S97 20, it was, according to the statement
of the State Superintendent of Public In
struction, as published in the California
Teacher" but $50 90, and we received but
s2S 20, making difference of 500 90, which
if we had received would have paid every
thing and left SO IS in the treasury.
Now, the State Superintendent never made
an apportionment of $50, nor did the : Cali
fornia Teacher" so publish it. The ''Teach
er" did publish an apportainment to 80 chill
dren of II cents each, which amounts to S23
10; the county apportionment was So 10,
making the aggregate just sos 20, the
amount paid over by the County Treasurer
upon the order of the Superintendent.

He exhorted all who were not in the bro

JoLLIE LoDE.-Tbis lode, situated about
six miles from town. and sold some little
time since by the original owners to the

richer than the average rock in other dis

CvILITr.-During the recent English
elections Mr.. Roebuck, when asked bv the
electors at Shefheld how he would vote upon
certain subject, remarked, :. You mind
your own business and will mind mine ),
The nobility there cannot rid themselves of
the idea that the people are serfs. Should
candidate for the popular suffrage in this
country use such language to the voters. they
would take him at his word, and allow him
uninterrupted opportunity to attend to his
own private business; for he would be unfit
to attend TO that of the public.

WHERE THEY CAN VoTE.-At present ne
groes are allowed to vote in only six States.
viz Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont,
subject to the same conditions as white men
in Massachusetts they must be able to read
and write in Rhode Island, must be worth
one hundred and thirty dollars in real es.
tate in New York. must be worth two
hundred and fifty dollars over all incum.
brances. In radical Kansas, and under the
radical Constitution of Missouri. they are
not allowed to vote. Until lately, Maine
and New Hampshire were always under
control of the Democratic party, and that
party gave the negroes the right to vote in
those States. 1t was also the Democratic
party which conferred the right of suffrage
upon negroes in New York. That party,
which has done more than any other to
establish negro suffrage, now seems to be en-
deavoring to do more than any other to pre-
vent it, though the New York News, a
leading Democratic organ. comes out in
favor of the doctrine Gold Hill Ne,cs

She was very charming. For her the outside
barbarian. known as Mclean man, had no
attractions. 1t was All Dishwashec, the man
who washes the dishes at the American, who
had the entire possession Of her heart, and
he rather seemed pleased that it was so. One
night early this week, stranger of the China
persuasion was seen prowling about. All
Dishwashee liked not his appearance, and in
consequence thereof, and of certain warn
ings mysteriously conveyed to him, he kept
shady, nor visited the domicile of his love on
that night In the early hours of the morn

feminine throat, awakened the dodgers at

door in dishabille, and by the dim light he
saw the Celestial stranger, assisted by others
with like length of tall forcbly, and against
her will, take from her house the enamored

at the door. The hombres with long tails

The GREAT RACE.-Speaking of races, all
others are wiped out by the two great
ones between Norfolk and Lodi, at two mile
heats, and again at three mile heats, at the
late State Fair, at Sacramento. As matter
of record and information to all interested,
we extract from the Union the following on
" fast timc:"
The time of Molly jackson, in the great
race at Louisville, in 1861. was 5-2S3. a
third heat. Molly jackson is by Vandal,
dam by imp. Margrave aud two of the
horses she beat in that race are the progeny
of Lexington. On Saturday Norfolk proud
ly replaced the crown on the honored head Of
his blind sire, the Homer Of the turf The
case now stands thus: Fastest four miles
with Southern weight, 7;l94, by Lexington
fastest four miles with Northern weight,
7:26, by IGlewild fastest three miles, 5:27I
by Norfolk; fastest two miles, 1886, bv
Aseroid; fastest mile, l:44l by Mammona.
OF these horses, all save Mammona and
Lexington himself, are the get of Lexington,
and every one of them, save Lexington. are
out Of Glencoemares. Is it not remarkable ?
Does it not show the Lexington Glencoe
alliance to be the creme de Ia creme Of racing
blood?
