We have not heard anything Of late of
bur worthy Governors proposition to
make a short session $" Of the coming
Legislature. We hardly think Improbable
that his Excellency will recommend a IF
teen day elaboration in his message; for
when he has given his attention to the
enumeration Of desirable legislation, he
will find so much for careful thought and
amendment by the Legislature, that he
will see that their mention would be in
ludicrous incongruity with advise for a
fortnight's term. The question Of county
boundaries alone, viii occupy two weeks
of talking ifnot Of thinking, meditation !
And we understand that the question of
State boundary viii come up; and that a
joint committee is to be appointed to con-
fer with a like committee from the Cali
fornia Legislature in regard to the line
that ought to divide the two States on the
southern districts. The affairs Of this
county require a great deal Of discriminate
ing legislation. The fight between the
people and the scrip-sharks has already
commenced ; and the enactments Of this
Winter will tell the story of prophecy and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. we shall be per-
mitted to have a Government and pros
perity as communities, or whether all
our substance must at once 60 down the
throats of the pioneer animals Of prey who
infest our places, as they do all newly
populated sections of the country. The
question will be distinctly raised before
the Legislature, this winter, whether our
taxes are to be maintained at present high
figures, perhaps raised to a still more ex-
horbitant per centage, our mines continued
under a great burden. of local taxation,
and every interest from which municipal
revenue-so called-can be squeezed, put
under the press, for the eighty per cent.
benefit of wondering Shylockss Or, shall
tho people have justice and right vindi-
Gated in their behalf, through proper laws
passed and approved' The Legislature is
expected to take action in memoralizing
Congress for appropriations in behalf Of
railroad enterprises. Last year resolu-
tons were passed, asking for a grant in
aid of q road hence to Austin. Why
| should not the General Government be
asked to aid the Virginia and Carson or
Washoe Railroad? The question Of ex-
pediency in local taxation of mines will
come up for discussion and decision anew.
We all know that there will be a strong
effort made for the repeal of the Specific
Contract law /; as also, to compel mining
companies to incorporate in this State.
Very many amendments, in addition to
some already indicated, will be proposed
to our revenue law-which is a very defect
i've and cumbersome law, as it stands. In
short, there is no prospect or chance for a
short session." Sixty days is short
enough

RsNrNDERs.-In a review Of fashions
for the season, the New York Tribune re-
marks that petticoats are worn very thick
and waterfalls are, if anything, a tribe
thinner. Which reminds US that we
noticed a small boy-George Smith or
John Littlefeld-run over a Chinaman,
on the coasting course, day before yes,er-
day; and IN so doing the heartless slider
shouted, Look out for your waterfall,
John !" as the Chinaman gathered himself
up carelessly, but exercised particular con-
Germ in examining to see whether damage
had been done to his cue or no. Which
reminds us that we met Bill Lee, on yes
terday, returning from a coasting trip in
Virginia, where he had run his fast sled
past the slow pungs of the Metropolis in a
style that out-Norfolked all precedent.
Which reminds US Of the advantage Day
ton has over Virginia and Gold Hill; the
former having both coasting and skating,
in close advantage. Which reminds us Of
the fact that there is to be q Masonic
supper at Dayton, On the 9th and Day
ton and Silver City have the reputation Of
doing those kind Of things up pre-eminent-
ly Brown.

day, will be postponed for several days
for detective purposes. He was arrested
under the name Of Corran. A precious
rascal he is. He has served n term OF
five years in the California Penitentiary,
and was committed a second time for nine
wears on conviction Of burglary, but es-
capped after serving two years Of his time.
He murdered a Chinese doctor in Carson.

conviction. The matter Of returning him
to the California authorities remain with
the Governor. He should be boarded at

sister State Of the charge, and send HIM to
Curry's stone hotel for ten years more.

CoNsBRvATrvRs.-The present Legisla'
ture of Virginia is the product OF that ex-
tremely ~magnanimous policy which makes
no allowance for continuance Of the fierce
animosity kindled by many years Of polit-
ical instruction and four years OF deadly
strife, and clothes conquered rebels who
have just surrendered their weapons OF
wal with the highest privilege of the
citizen. 1t has been said, by way Of
commencing this body to the respect Of
sanguine loyalists, that q large majority Of
its members are old Wings and Conserya-
tives who resisted the torrent Of secession
as long as they could. President Johnson
told an applicant for pardon who belonged
to the same class, that he had found some
Of these alleged Conservatives TO be the
most incorrigible foes of the Union.-Sde.

How THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT DEALS
WITH RBBELs.-The telegraph announces
that Mr.. Lubey, proprietor Of the Irish
People, has been sentenced to twenty years
transportation in penal servitude. While
our sympathies are with the sufferer, we
may contrast the decision Of the British
Government with the ~hes,tancy of our
own in Furnishing rebellion. II JEFF. Da-
via and his tribe had had to deal with the
English Government, they would have
been food for worms long since /; and per-
haps when ours has become as old and
experienced as that Of Great Britain,
American rebels will be disposed of with
like expedition.-S. +. Flag.

SAD DIsAPPoINTNBNT.-The toadies mel

Not since the day when Dan Sickles failed

was announced in the city on Saturday

United States Senator, would be q passen.
ger on the Sacramento boat. The toadies
thought there was a chance for them, and
they determined to 60 down and'meet him,
At 10 o'clock P. NJ, the free lunch tables
were deserted-the "Old Corner" looked
like some banquet hall deserted, for the
bummers had all betaken themselves to
Broadway wharf. They carried SOM ar
tillery with them, and, as the boat came
in sight, the guns Numbered a salute. The
passengers on the Chrysopolis could moi
divine the cause Of the honor that was be.
ing paid them. There was an Assembly
man from an inland county on board, who
had voted in favor of the constitutional
Amendment at Sacramento. He thought
he was the man that was being saluted
and he was seen to 60 down to the bar
and swallow three glasses Of tangle leg
whisky that he might have courage to
make a speech. The boat at last reached
the wharf, and loud calls were made fol
Cole :" but no Cole was in sight. The
Assemblyman, in the excitement of the
moment, thought he was the person called
on, so he rushed to the guards and began
his speech: "Ladies and gentlemen you
do me great honor (hic). I voted for the
| Consutional 'Mendment (hic), but 'tWa.

At this j%uncture the toadies saw that TIT

THB "loyalty" of the South is just as
great as President johnson compels it to
be. Nearly all the loyalty existing there
is Of the compulsory character. We do
not see the spirit p~ervading Southern lead
ers as greatly different from what it was a
year ago. Then they did all they could
against our government-now they do all
they dare. The most popular men for
office before the people are those who did
most for the rebellion and who still ex-
press the strongest belief in its merits.
These are simple and notorious facts, and
they must 60 a great way in determining
our national policy if we hope to avoid
future assaults on our system of govern
ment.-S. Joseph Herald.

XIII.


a part of the organic law OF the land:
ARTICLE XIII.
SEC. /. Neither slavery nor involun-
tary s~ervitude, except as q punishment for
crime, whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted. shall exist within the
United States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction.
SEC. 2. Congress shall have power to
enforce this Article BY appropriate legisla-
ton.
The provision, the po'cer of the second
section of this adopted amendment seems
to have been wholly lost sight of by the
Copperhead press. 1t was a wise thought
that of placing this section in supple
ment-for if no such declaration had been
constitutionally made, in this connection,
the C~opperheads and the rebels would
have endeavored to neutralize the FREE
DOM mandate, by claiming this and that
Interpretation, and resurrecting the dogma
of States Rights against any attempt to
practically carry out the grand liberating
decree. Even now, there are endeavors
to i~nterpose State authority twixt the
General Governments direction and the
slaves emancipation. But, Of course, all
such efforts must henceforth be entirely
useless, and can only serve to bring i'm
mediate, condign punishment on the fool
ish participators in plans for the CONTRA
diction of the Peoples will, that has said
to all honest men in the borders Of the
Republic-"Ie be free men !" The State
of Nevada ratified the amendment on the
10th of February-in less than half an
hour after intelligence was received Of its
submission to the States by Congress.
Eighteen States ratified the amendment
in that month of February. Within the
year it is fully approved, and now it con-
s,itutes the greatest accomplishment Of the
age-purifying. and guaranteeing a perpe-
tuisy of life to the Republic Of North
America.

SxEgRED.-An awful accident occurred
yesterday. in the upper portion Of Gold
Hill, to the imagination of certain indl-
vidual. The Eclipse mill shot off a ire
mendous puff of steam, at about 4 o'clock
P. NJ, which a certain individual mlstook
for a aue collapse. and forthwith he PUSHES
from in front Of the Hotel opposite the
mill and took refuge behind an empty
quartz wagon, standing at the entrance OF
the side-way to the Virginia road. The
individual is expected to recover; though
no tidings have been had of him since he
fed from his retreat, followed by terrific
shrieks Of coincidence from a crowd OF
persons who witnessed his mortal appre-
henson.

WHAT Is Ir?-The Examiner speaks of
an Infamous scheme of Senator Stewart
of Nevada, to take away from the State
Courts, on the Pacific side, all jurisdiction
over cases occurring on the public lands,
and transfer them to the United States
Courts. A more nefarious proposition
could not well be conceived. This would
require every contest in which real estate,
houses, mines, bitches, ETC., are involved,
in every mining county in the State, to be
tried either in San Francisco OIL Los An
geles. The expenses Of witnesses and
litigants would be so enormous as to be in
effect a denial Of Justice"

From Mr.. Conway, Ass is.ant Engineer Of
the Russian Telegraph Company, who lately
travelled with his party $50 miles above Que
snellcmouth, and twenty miles north Of Fort
Connolly, on Bear Lake, we have received
some interesting particulars Of the journey.
The nature of the country is diversified. The
frat l75 miles to Fort James, was over a
rolling country, slightly timbered; many
beautiful p~rairies were crossed the Indians
we're not very Numerous, and peaceably in
clined; crossed Stuart and Tatla lakes to
Bulkley House, where they saw Major Pope
and party-all in good health. Pope was
resting there with six men, but would push
further north 30 soon as he had procured
s~now.shoes. Buckley House was built by
Pope as a telegraph station. 1t il situated
at the north end Of Lake Tatla, and water
communication may be had the entire dis
tance from Soda Lake indeed, a Atom boat
can be taken from Victoria to the Buckley
House-distance about ninety miles. From
Quesnellemouth the distance is 400 miles,
northwest. The face OF the country above
Fort st. James is covered with lakes, connec-
ted by rivers. The route for a telegraph is
most favorable, much more so than the coun-
try between New Westminster and Quesnelle.
The state Of the weather may be imagined
when we state that when Mr.. Conway was at
Buckley House, on the 9th Of November,
Bear Rivera rapid stream, twenty-five yards
in width, a tributary OF Tatla Lake-was
frozen solid : and that the party crossed 1t on
the ice. The cold was intense, but there
were only about two inches Of snow on the
ground. Salmon had been very plentiful this
season, and the Indians had laid by large
Quantities for Uinfnr nnnaumDtiOQ.

Josh Billings on "OrdaininE.o

Josh Billings says: We kommence life
we are somebody's baby - we have
iaxen hare-we 20 to districk skule-we
slide down hill-we pla hooky-we have
great di6kulty with our nozes-we learn
how tn smoke, and find ourselfs men
grown all tn onst. Thus fur natur has
| piped and we have danced, and their haint
been no fiddler tn pa, but now comes in
| the speshial ordainment times. I hav bin
thru with awl this myself, and stood on
the threshold, young man, a looking
around, readily to be ordained. I felt as
tho I wud give S75 at least if sumbudy
wud cum along and ordain me, and let
me pitch in. l waited for six weeks, il I
rekelekt right, and I never got the arst
smell ov emmy ordaining. Then Ikonklu-
ded to ordain miself, hit or miss. The
first thing I tried on was 80 akers ov land
in the western kentry. I ordered the ven-
son and wild turkey and possums tew
leave for I was going to farm it. I or
dained q log house and much rale tense
i~mmegiately, and put in 4 krop Of wheat,
and procured swine and a yoke Of Stages.
I worked 2 years, had the ager and lite
crops principally. and managed tn sink
the farm and staggs-besides sinking a
we'll. I haint seen neither ov them from
that da, and don't think I want tn. l
didn't seem to be speshially ordained for
farming in the western kentry.
Sinse that time I have tried every kind
ov bizness that I could hear ov, and amt
bin speshially ordained yet in mi knollege.
The fault awl lay in the different kinds ov
bizness, i haint the least dout. The biz
ness that was destined for me probably
haint been ordained yet, but i intend to
keep boring, and when i do strike lie thar
will be a good time generally in mi imme-
giate naberhood. l hav got any quantity
ov trends (tha don't seem to cum bi ordi-
nashun). l got mine, and manage to keep
them bi not asking them for enything but
advise, yu kant ask enything ov a mar
that kosts him less than advise.
