In relation to BooTH and his movements,
all manner of questions are asked. Among
them are: 'swhy did not BoorH attempt
the assassination OF the President until
everything seemed to indicate that Peace
was about being restored-until after LEE
had surrendered, and when JoHNsroN's sur
render was being eagerly looked forP'
sWhat has become of the horse that BOOTH
is said to have ridden away on? Surely,
he would not have ridden the horse so far
but what he could have been found before
this, and thus a clue obtained of the direc-
ton in which BOOTH went" ''Why was
raphsodical letter given to the public so
Quickly after the assassination, alleged to
have been written by BooTH, In which he
confessed that he was volunteer worker
in behalf of the Confederate cause, which
is now regarded as fictitious?" 'How
could BooTH hope to serve the Confeder-
ate cause by the assassination Of IhNcoLS
when. 10 ALI appearances, that cause was
beyond the power OF resurrection?"
We can't answer these questions, be-
cause we know nothing about them, Who
ever prompted the assassination in tn
hope that thereby the expiring Rebellion
would be given new and vigorous life, wa
a very dull fool. 9di sbfgi5s

A NATIONAL BANK.

Speaking of the establishment Of a
Branch National Bank, the Sacramento
Bee says that to establish National
Bank on this coast would require an i'm
mense amount of capital, and the bank
would be compelled to submit to much
loss in the matter of expenses, interest,
ETC., before securing the public confidence.
Let one of these banks be opened, and it
would be found that every note it issued
on Monday would be presented for re-
demption in gold on Tuesday. That pro-
cess would be kept up for months, until
the public had perfect confidence IN the
institution. Though nominally loaning
paper at low interest the bank would be
really loan:ng gold all the time while all
the gold invested in bonds as security for
the paper issued would be tied up, and OF
no use. If the notes were not redeemed
on presentation nobody would touch
them. and of course the bank could loan
no money. Is it "a mystery then that
canitalsts do not start a National Bank
on this coast: A company of men did
partially organize for the purpose Of estab-
fishing National Bank in San Francisco.
But they got together, figured up the mat
ter in pretty much the same shape that
we have, and then dropped the subject.
They had solved the mystery" to Their
satisfaction, and did not care for pracn-
cal test of its workings.

THE JUDICIAL QUESTION.

In discussing the proposition OF the d.
vision of the county, some have imagined
that stumbling block exists in the fact
the First Judicial District is constitution
ally confined to Storey county, and that
the division of the county would throw Us
out of that district. The idea IS that
Storey county would be, in that event.
sadd.ed with three Judges, at the same
time that more than half the litigation
would be taken from that Court, and that
Gold Hill would be without any District
Court at all. There is no merit IN this
objection. The First Judicial District IS
by the Constitution, formed of that tern
.ory which at the time OF the adoption Of
the Constitution was known as Storey
county. The dividing Of that territory
into two or more counties, no more
divides the First Judicial District than
would the changing of the name OF Storey
county destroy the District entirely. Inc
new county formed out Of portion oil
Storey then would still remain portion
of ,he First Judicial District and the Ju-
risdiction of the Court over matters arls-
inc therein would be undisturbed. If, at
a future time, change should be desirable
and local Judge be preferred, there is no
difficulty in procuring that change.

The TeleHrRph.

Saturdays Alta contains the following
dispatch from the telegraph operator at
Mud Springs: ...... ......-
The operator at Mud Springs says: at
looks much as if the rebels intend to cut
off communication between east and west.
Was surprised to hear Of damage only ten
miles east of Mud Springs. The last time
our men were at Pole Creek, twenty.eight
miles east of Mud Springs, they found the
country and the creek bottom full of In
dians. 1t was gay to see the Indians ride
from bluff to bluff, guarding the road,
waving their banners, etc. The Colorado
expedition, east, is tolerably large-has a
surgeon, etc., and also a man named
Hogan, who will make them fight. Fiji
teen or twenty miles of wire are at Jules
burg if they have not used them in the
Denver line. We have large supply Of
insulators and poles, which have to be
hauled quite a distance. The Indians
used the poles to roast beef with. l hope
the expedition has been the worst part of
the trouble. No Indians reported about
for two days. The country is SO formed
that they cannot well be seen from the
line at any distance" ". .+.

everybody, however. who knows who
Saint Valentine really was, in the flesh, or
why and wherefore the 14th day of Feb
ruary is set apart in the calendar for the
love-making and deyiltry to which it is
devoted. Saint Valentine, according to
some writers (says the American Cyclic
pedia), was bishop, according to Others
a presbyter, who was beheaded at Rome
in the reign of the Emperor Claudius q. D.
27O), and was early canonized. Wheatley
says that Saint Valentine /" was a man Of
most admirable parts, and so famous for
his love and charity, that the custom of
choosing Valentines (Which is still prac-
ticed) took its rise from thence" Others
derived the custom from birds being sup
posed to select their mates on this day !;
others again from the practice prevalent
in ancient Rome at the festival Of Luper-
Gala, held during the month Of February,
when, among other ceremonies, the names
of young women were placed in box,
from which they were taken by young
men, according as chance directed. The
pastors of the early church, finding it i'm
possible to extirpate this heather custom,
changed its form. As once practised. on
the eve of February Il, st. Valentines
Day, it was customary to have the names
of a select number of one sex put into
some vessel by an equal number of the
other; and thereupon every one drew a
name, which for the time being was called
his or her Valentine. The custom OF
choosing Valentines existed very early,
and was much practised in the houses Of
the gentry in England. There are frequent
references to it in Shakespeare.
The foregoing will be new to many OF
our readers, and is vastly instructive.
We fail to see, however, any theological,
historical shaksperian. or other reason
for sending to this Office hideous picture
of two men of horrible mien, dressed as
cooks, consulting over . cauldron OF
Bien Soup" and al " instructing III "
to "put more pepper" in the same. Such
/" Valentine have we received to our
disgust.

BEEcHRR ON THE NATIONAL DEBT.-ln
the course of one of his recent sermons,
Henry Ward Beecher touched on the sub
iect Of our national debt in the following
language: admit that at the end OF
this war the debt shall reach three thou,
sand millions of dollars. 1t is computed
by able economists, whose figures THINK
do not lie, that if the ratio OF increase OF
population and of wealth shall continue
to be in the future what it has been in the
past, period will arrive in the year lsOo'
or about thirty-fve years hence, when an
assessment on the property OF the whole
country of one and sixteen-hundredths-
less than one and quarter per cent. will
nav the whole debt. But we do not
assess property; we only assess the pro.
ducts Of property. And in the year 1900
an assessment or tax on the products Of
the industry of the country of five pei
cent, if the ratio of increase shall continue
to be in the future what 1t has been in the
past, will pay the whole debt. am sure
we do not need yet to be afraid"

THAT MEETING AT AMERICAN
FLAT.

We are taken to task by the "quai'o
censor mOrains for not having published INC
interesting proceedings of two meetings
said to have been held at AmeFiean o''!'
in opposition to the division movement
The "quartO was "astonished' e'c.' az
our failure to record these monster gather
ings of the indignant people OF the Flat.
Tha, as,onishment we will endeavor to
allay by stating the reasons of the fearful
omission. They are as follows: In the
first place, the affairs and current incl
dents of American City, albeit of an i'm
portant character and full of interest to
the world at large. have so recently be-
came so that we have not had time to
secure areporter capable Of doing justice
to the important post. Secondly, the
secretary Of these meetings appears to
have chosen another medium for the dis
semination of the important information.
Again, we were informed by one leading
citizen whose word IS reliable that the
impromp,u gathering in Burns bar-room
was ga fizzle;" and by another of we'll
known veracity that there were not over
thirty persons present and those about
equally divided in opinion. These gen.
tlemen also informed US that if American
City could be made the county seat Of the
new county, the sentiment in favor of the
division would be unanimous. These
several reasons, combined, will sufficiently
account for our failure to publish the pro-
ceedings OF those mighty gatherings at a
place the entire population of which does
not exceed eighty voters. The Enterprise
which has been gaping with astOnishmens
ever since yesterday morning, can no"
close its mouth, and give its ponderous
iaw-bone rest. ...-

rNn1scRIM1NATE SLAUGHTER.

The persons who have taken upon them
selves the task of dog-killing in this town
are altogether too indiscrininate in their
operations. They. appear to have scat
. tered the poison about promiscuously,
and it has so CHANGED that, in most in
stances, the dogs killed have been of the
most harmless and fayorite class, and in
several cases have been pet animals, the
loss of which has fallen sorely upon the
owners. There has consequently been
some weeping and wailins, much cursing
and swearing. and immense Singing OF
nasal mucus and squirting of wrathful TO-
bscco juice. The hardy individual VINO
should have the temerity to announce
himself as the slayer Of these canine
friends, would have brilliant chance Of
a broken head, if not of worse calamity
Our neighbor Lafferty mOurns sadly the
loss of his sprightly and intelligent little
dog Sax" who is one of the victims
If "Sax's" murderer had seen his mas
ter's demonstrations of sorrow we mag
inc he would have been ashamed OF ms
deed. The superabundance of useless
eurs in this town has been source OF an
noyance, but in getting rid Of them it Is
possible to use some discrimination, and
to avoid the slaughter Of harmless house
hold pets.

social Aneuities in War.

From the following, it will be remarked
that the present Commander Of the Pacific
Department was distinguished for rigid
observance of the social amenities" even
when surrounded by the grim circumstan-
ces of war. We quote from speech de-
ivered in the United States Senate, June
rs, 1852, by the Hon. Ben. Wade. The
general question of the conduct of the war
coming up, Mr.. Wade said:
Upon the idea ON which this war is car
ried on now, we shall never have peace,
while men sedulously guard the property
of rebels with one hand and fight them In
the field with the other. The rebels treat
such acts with contumely and scorn, and
look upon it as eowardice. There never
was, since the war commenced, and l
challenge any one to show me single in
stance, when a rebel was placated or
brought to the support of the Union, be-
cause you treated his person or his pro-
perty with lenity. I have an order here
written BY Gen. Mcdowell, which ask
to have read. just to show the principles
upon which the war at present Is Prosecu-
ted.
The Clerk then read the order, dated
"HEApouARrERs OF THE lAPPAHANNocK
May 18th, 1852. )
"Col. Meredith, of the Seth Pennsyl-
vania Reg't, will furnish guard from his
regiment to guard the house and property
of Mr.. L. B. Hoffman. Col. Meredith
will see that no more corn Is taken from
Mr.. Hoffman, and no more fencing dis
turbed. The guard is to be placed SO as
TO make this sure, even if you have to
place a sentinel over every panel Of the
fence. ZEN. MCDOWELL
Now, sir, I am told that this Mr.. Hof.
man, whose every panel OF fence Is to oe
guarded by soldier, paid for with our
money, is as arrant traitor as there is on
the face of God 8 earth. Cannot we forage
on the enemys The Senator says no, we
are restrained by the Constitution, we
cannot even take It in the field. Il, in the
prosecution of this war. the Constitution
is so weak, and our arm Is 80 short, that
we cannot take food enough for our starv:
ing soldiers, then we might as well disband
the army at once. r.,s 500, -s,I-y,
We can never bring the war to an end
while these parties are using the soldiers
to guard the pigs, chickens, and fences o.
our enemies, instead Of fighting them In
the field, A General who will thus place
a guard around the property Of traitors,
and who 50 sedalously protects their pro.
perty, will not be very likely to fight that
rebel in the field. It is idle, anomalous,
and against the common sense of the
country.
