BONE DUST.

Shall these dry bones livei Verify, If
that were the hopeful condition Of the
skeleton Democracy, it might stand some
change of a resurrection. But when the
marrow castings are ground to powder
and scattered to the four winds, the po-
litical miracle becomes considerably in
creased in magnitude. No: the thing
can't be done, out and out. The only
hope is the throwing Of this dust in live
peoples eyes, that they may be blinded
into the darkness, and the blackness Of
darkness that characterized the once ami
mated but now pulyerized particles that
composed the party Of secessionisn.
Bone-dust Democracy would attempt to
come down upon the clear Union sky and
vision like a summer cloud-of locusts.
Reduced to the distributing capacity Of a
pepper-box, it is apt to be sprinkled
around, injecting and t~ormenting like the
mischievous powder that is sometimes vii
lainously scattered on the floor of a ball
room. There will be some who will make
this article a standing condiment in their
castor; so welded are they to the old
taste, attained in one form or another A;
though the vast majority will not conde-
scend to employ the stuff for manuring
old memories, even. 1t is properly to be
treated asthe Redeemer spoke of the salt
that lost its savor-trodden under. feet of
men. 1t has no chemical affinity with
any substance of similar character in
color, unless it be arsenic. 1t does not
come up to the scientific dignity Of n"z
uomica or 6eRadona; which have some
positive medicinal properties, and are gen.
uine ingredients of rot-gut whisky. There
are, indeed, antiquarians that seem anxious
to carry off, carefully, for their own pecu-
liar enjoyment or use, this Democratic
bone-dust. The editors of the Examiner
and Express are illustrations. If they
wish to persist in this branch of night
work. they will find no negro rivals in
that line of labor. 1t is well, perhaps,
that they should note where the clouds
settle, and hasten to muck-heap it and
bear it home in air-tight vessels. But let
them not outrage the Chinese p~recincts by
their display of a more insufferable pot of
perfume. Now, this is all a metaphor, all
sllegorical. But, it is true as anything
Job ever writ, or David ever sung, or Ne
hemiah ever prophesied, or Moses ever
got proud about, or Methusaleh ever
made an anniversary dinner of, or jeff.
Davis can sensibly hope for at this mo-
ment of his glorious existence.

STATESMEN.

Americans have always enjoyed the
reputation among other people of being
smart, and the general assent that they
are so has given them confidence to lead
all Creation and assurance to undertake
anything. The genius of our Government
is such as gives to all American citizens a
chance to help themselves, and turn their
attention to whatever suits them best; and
they keep shifting around, until at last,
they get in their right line, when they
shoot straight ahead. Thus more than
among any other people We have the right
men In the right place. While this has
been universally the case in all business,
it has been eminently so in our Govern
ment offices where craftsmanship is re-
quired; and it has been a matter of sur
prise TO foreigners, that, though we are
continually changing our men in, office
and bringing forward new ones, we al
most invariably make good selections.
The reason why we get men for rulers and
for diplomacy, who manage our home
matters so well. and outwit the ministers
of nations abroad, is, because, in politics
we select men for Office who naturally
should be there. Men here are not born
into offices as they are in many Of the old
countries; but We have men enough that
are born for office, and take to Office as
naturally as a fish takes to water, as soon
as they are out Of their teens. AL these
natural office holders can think of nothing
else. and generally. are dt for nothing else
than to fill o Government post Of more or
less importance; and just as they are
qualified by nature and their W exer-
tons so they rank one above the other.
We judge our politicians by their success,
and those who are most successful in
the performance of their duties or in lead
ing any bold or important movement, get
the public's favor, and get elected; and they
are the right men. Men may be educated
10 be politicians. ~diplomatists or rulers,
but if not naturally adapted to such sta
lions must always be inferior and can
never obtain or hold such positions in
America. No one but those who are
adapted to our high places can have them.
No one but those who mark their political
course with success can mount upward,
and therefore we get non but the best of
our numerous politicians for the places
where ability is required. Another rea-
son, too, why American statesmen are
superior TO those Of other Governments is
the same that places u merchants, our
professional men and u mechanics ahead
of all others. and that is, because they are
the best men Of their peculiar kind there
is in the whole country, and not the best
only of q particular class. Under another
form Of Government Seward might have
made q rich merchant, or perhaps have
become a physician and have ministered
to the sick Of Orange county, as did his
father. Daniel Webster might have been
a substantial farmer of Salisbury; or
Lincoln might have been q steamboat
clerk or captain, while some other feeblcr
hand would have directed the nations
affairs, and the offices which they gave lus-
ter to would have been filled by some one
who first Jaw light at the White House
or grew up il its shadow.

OSE Senior Pezel, a shoemaker by trade,
has been lately elected President of Peru.
The mechanic arts are looking up. A
tailor is President of the United States,
and now we hear a shoemaker is Presi-
dent Of Peru. The consulate delegation
from the News Office. who went down to
Peru recently, can now take hopes and
they may succeed in convincing the Peru
vians that editors, printers, and carriers,
know as much, or more, than "any other
man." They may make a big rifle them
selves. Hereafter the aristocracy of the
world must make way for the mechanics.

NEVADA AND THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD.

ED. GOLD HILL News - Dear SIR
Your correspondent, Citizen" is quite
violent in his attack upon q brief article of
mine published In the Enterprise, and yet
he does not answer q single point made
BY me. What l stated was simply that
our future prosperity depended upon the
Pacific Railroad; that the quicker it is
constructed the sooner would we see pros
porous times; that our merchants and
business men ought, therefore, to do all
in their power to hasten its construction I;
that while we had no money to spare to
subscribe for its stock, we could give the
Pacific Railroad our business, and it was o
duty we owed to ourselves thus to add
to the force already concentrated upon the
construction Of the Pacific Railroad over
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, which is
the only railroad. we have any immediate
prospect of getting. These are plain facts
that are not and cannot be disputed. So
far, then, az we refuse to give our busi-
ness this direction, so far we do an injury
TO u best interests. The Pacific Rail-
road will undoubtedly be built if we do
not aid it, but it would be built quicker
with our helps. This is plain common
sense. "Citizen" thinks we are going to
have two railroads over the mountains.
The opponents of the Pacific Railroad,
who have grown rich from Washoe trade,
and who are spending that money in en-
ploying agents 10 run down the Pacific
Railroad to prevent them from building
their road, have tried hard to delude US
with the idea that they were going to
build q railroad over the mountains, to
the destruction of their stage lines and
wagon roads.
But, it is only q few weeks ago that one
of their agents, Milton s. Latham, re-
turned from Europe, and it was publicly
announced in the newspapers that he had
failed to induce English capitalists to in
vest in California railroads, but they had,
instead, authorized him to establish q
bank in San Francisco, with $5,000,000
capital. These facts are notorious, and it
is useless for "Citizen" to deny them.
English capital can be procured BY these
men to loan US at two or three per cent.
per month, doubly secured; but they are
unable to procure it to build q railroad
over the mountains to compete with the
national road. Another conclusive fact is,
that no work is being done east of Single
Springs on that line, while the Pacific
Company have a force of about $500 men
and 800 teams at work east of Clipper
Gap, making good progress up the noun
tain, and in q few weeks this road will be
extended twelve miles further, to Illinois
town. g"I3s g'S.'- s2@ H'Es.." gf
It is not necessary, as "Citizen" sug-
gests, for us to say to Wells, Fargo & Co.
and the Pioneer Stage Co., that we have
no further use for them, but let us, by our
acts, say to them, cease your opposition
to the Pacific Railroad-connect and run
your express and stage lines over the
quickest and best route, and thus render
practical assistance to hasten the speedy
development of the hidden wealth Of Ne
yada, ,.assggg s-alsa MERCHANT.
