pretty picture of a child among the May

A NARNIsH.-A method of coating wood
with varnish hard as stone, has been re-
Gently introduced in Germany. The ingrc-
dients are forty parts ofchalk, forty of rosin,
four Of linsced oil, to be melted together in
an iron pot. One part of native oxide o!
copper, and one of sulphuric acid are then
to be added, after which the composition is
ready for use. 1t is applied hot to the wood
with a brush, in the same way as paint,
and, as before observed, becomes exceeding
ly hard on drying.

WHAT IS WANTED. No village in the
country presents more natural advantages
for business of various kinds than Milers-
burg, but we lack enterprise. Iron oar and
coal abounds to an unlimited extent; our
hills furnish the best of sand and lime stone:
living is cheap; the country is healthful ;
the land is productive and yields rich re-
ward to the cultivator.
The interests of the county demand n good
machine shop and foundry in town. 1t is
true we have foundry here, but it is laying
idle. 1t can be bought at sacrifice almost
any time. But this is not all we need. We
want brickmakers, mechanics and laborers
In short, there is no branch of industry that
would not be well rewarded.
We have citizens possessed with the nee.
cssary capital to erect and carry on machine
shops, foundries, &C., and unless they dc
so, others will come in at no distant day and
secure the reward our citizens might be
rcaping now.
a foundry is probably the first thing to
look after. 1t is from fifteen to twenty miles
to the nearest one. The location, in every
particular, is preferable to any other in
Eastern Ohio.

SNoBs.-The Springfield Republican says
that ''of all snobs the clerical is the most
offensive. In the pulpit, assuming to bear
a solemn message from God to man, what he
really says r. the people is, notice my ad-
mirable appearance, my impressive deport-
ment admire my fne-wrought rhetoric, my
eloquent delivery. AS a pastor he apes and
courts "good society,"" to sinners within
that charmed circle he is obsequious; tc
sinners outside of it he is condescending
and ostentatiously humbles himself to the
man with hard hands and swarthy face
for the sake of his soul but he wishes it tC
be always and everywhere understood that
he himself stands higher, and only stoops tc
conquer. If he had lived in the time o.
Jesus, he might have nodded condescend
ingly to the fishermen of Galilec, and the
common folks that associated with the Sa-
viour fmen but he would have joined no
such vulgar crowd except upon the under
standing that it was done as an act of grace
on his part, and under constant protest that
he did not thereby abandon his standing in
good society. And these pulpit snobs think
they can win men from sin to righteousness.
Alas for them and their fiocks."

HOLMES COUNTY REPUBLICAN. - The
Holmes County Repubhcan, one of the

very wise in getting rid of it. Good bye

IDAHo.-A gentleman named Richard
Tregaskis, heavy trader in Idaho Terri
tory, recently came through from Silver
City to Marysville in eight days, which is
said to be the quickest trip on record
The Express publishes the following items
of news: He says that Silver City,
which is situated at the head of Jordan
Creek. sixty miles south of Boise City, is
a fourishing place. Building is going on
rapidly. There is plenty of fine timber
and water, and also good farming land
near by. Placer diggings have been sus-
pended until next spring, but great acti-
witty prevails in quartz mining. Mr.. Ire
gaskis met large number of wagons with
families on the road to Idaho from Neva-
vada, and thinks there will be large i'm
migration into the country the coming
season. He gives the following as the
prices of leading articles of provision :
Flour, 1928 IF 100 Tbs; bacon, Coo. ~ tb;
coffee, &c.; sugar, 5Oe.; beans, $780,; tea,
81 so. At the time he left, there were
two quartz mills in operation and one had
suspended on account of break in the
machinery. Messrs. Moore & Fogas are
running an eight stamp mill, crushing
rock from the Morning Star ledge. From
ten tons, taken at depth of no feet
$4,000 was obtained. From the Orotno
ledge the same company obtained out OF
300 tons of rock, 260pounds Of amalgum'
worth 50 so per ounce. This company
work ITO men. Messrs. P. Mineur & 20.
are running five stamp mill with forty
hands and doing well. 1t is expected that
large number Of mills will be put up
next spring, as about thirty different
lodges have besn tested and found to be
rich. Mr.. Tregaskis intends to return to
Silver City in ST tort time.

New England and tho Governments.

New England and tho Government.
The Albany Eueni"g JoHriG! thus con-
clusively deals with the semi-rebel clamor
against the alleged monopoly of the Gov
eminent by New England
The Craftsmanship of two of the most
important standing committees in the Sem
ate Finance and the Navy have just been
taken from New England and given to
the West. The President of the United
States is Western man; so Is the Vice
President /; so are two members of the
Cabinet (Secretary of the Interior and At
torney General so is the Chiet Justice
of the Supreme Court Of the United States;
so is the Provost Marshal General; so is
the Lieutenant. General; so are Generals
Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas. VI di-
plomatic appointments, New England has
rather less than her share. VI consulates,
Pennsylvania has nearly twice as many as
all the Eastern States put together. In
the distribution of the minor crumbs of
power, the Western and Middle States
have had the lions portion.
New England has her proper influence
in the councils Of the nation but 1t is by
no means dominant one. Her moral
power is fully recognized, but It Is not al
lowed to have undue control. Her states
men are influential, but they have not
controlled the policy Of the Government,
Ohio alone has had more to 90 with shap-
ing the course of the Administrator DUR
ing the past three years than all of the
Eastern States combined.

Correct Views.

The following sentiments, expressed oy
the Nevada Transcript, on the subject OF
the late peace rumors, come up to our
ideas exactly:
While all men who take an interest in
the prosperity of the nation desire speedy
peace, we do not believe they would &C.
cept it at the sacrifice of any principle
which has been secured by the blood shed
in the war. The Government can never
submit to the establishment of slavery
in any part of the land. The rebels have
forfeited all right to hold slaves; it was
the cause Of the rebellion, and should be
extirpated, that i; may never endanger the
land again. We cannot extend pardon to
all who have engaged in rebellion. Justice
forbids that the men who have caused all
the bloodshed Of this war should be suf-
fered to remain IN the land.
We cannot pass lightly over the awful
crimes committed by these men. For
thirty years they have been engaged in a
plot TO destroy the Government, and with
i the last hope Of free government in the
civilized world. They have been guilty
of perjury, robbery, murder and treason.
The sin Is not only against their own gov
eminent, but against humanity, and the
interests and safety of all people demand
that their crlmes should be punished. 1t
would be against the interest of good
order to release them. The safety of our
Government demands that an example
should be made of these leaders which
will be warning through all the future 70
wicked and designing men. A too earn
est desire for peace on the part Of the
North may inAict much greater injury
upon the nation than prolongation Of
the struggle.

The Fort LYON AFPAIR.-We learn
from Col. Chivington that he has received
notice that an investigation Of the Sand
Creek battle, will soon be begun. 1t will
probably be held in Denver, and the Court
Martial will be composed of officers Sc
lected from this district. If nothing hap
pens to prevent, we will soon be informed
of who committed ruthless murders upon
the friendly Indians; stole from them the
scalps they had stripped from the heads of
white men, women and children, and
committed other similar outrages upon
the peaceably disposed aborigines. And
last, but not least, we will find out who
the thigh officials " are without the
chance for mistake.
We are in favor of investigations. They
are bully good thing. If not mistaken,
we have said so elsewhere in this paper.

The DEMOCRACY AND SLAyERY:-The
Philadelphia Press mentions "a rumor in
political quarters that having felt the
pulse of slavery upon the day of election,
Democratic leaders are satisfied that MOTH
ing can now be done for it except to place
it forever out of the way. The new pro-
gramme of the Democracy will, therefore,
be to propose the abolition of slavery, thus
anticipating the party of the Union, and
meeting at once the expressed wish of the
people," This would certainly be very
sensible movement. and the rumor is by
no means improbable. Some of the De-
mocratic leaders were in favor of this
course last spring, and quite decided anti
slavery articles were published in the Bos-
ton Post, New York World, and other De-
mocrtic presses. But the malign in
fiuences of the Southern sympathizers
and Copperheads were too strong, and
choked these liberal expressions. The
Democracy can now exhibit'a late repen-
lance, but they cannot recover lost OPP
portunity.-BostOn Journal. ...s

THREE MORE vEroEs.

The Governor has vetoed three more
Acts of the Legislature, to-wit: IAN Act
authorizing Abraham Curry, his associ-
ates and assigns, the right to supply
Carson City with water" An Act to
amend an Act of the Legislative Assembly
of the Territory of Nevada, entitled An
Act authorizing John Hawkins, his asso-
ciates and assigns, to construct and mann
tain a toll road" and " An Act au'hori]-
ing Jerry Schooling, his associates ana
assigns, to construct and MAINTAIN '0A
road" The ground of disaPproTai OF all
these Acts is the same: that this class Oh
laws is repugnant to Section |, Art. 8, OF
the CONSTITUTION, which reads as follows:
1.-The Legislature shall pass no special Act
in any manner relating to corporate powers,
excep, for municipal purposes, out corpora
tons may be formed under general laws.
And the 2lst Section Of Article 4, which
reads in this wise:
"In all cases enumerated in the preceding
section, and in all other cases where gen.
eral law can be made applicable, al EI'cS
shall be general and of uniform operation
throughout the State"
Upon this point the Governor and a
majority of the Legislature are at dead
lock. The Governor argues his side Of
the question very fully, and is supported
in his views by minority Of the Lesis-
lature; but a majority of both Houses
consider ais Excellency's reasoning I'M
sound, and give evidence of an intention
to food us with deluge of this species OF
special legislation. 1t is highly important
that the question of who is correct in the
Interpretation to be placed upon the Sec
tons of the Constitution above quoted,
should be definitely settled by decision
of the Supreme Court at an early day.
There are now some dozens Of similar
bills in various stages Of progression in
the two Houses, besides an indefinite
number in the hands of Legislators who
are withholding them until the question OF
constitutionality can be settled. Mr..
Sumner has given notice of bill authoriz-
ing the Supreme Court to decide upon
feigned issues. 1t is TO be hoped that
such a bill will be speedily passed, de-
cision obtained, and a stop put 10 the
warfare between the Legislature and the
Executive.
