Monroe Doctrine--Letter from CONFESS.

A long account is given in the New York
World of a large and enthusiastic meeting,
held at the Copper Institute on the eth of
January last, to give expression to the popu
lar feeling on the Monroe Doctrine 1t was
expected that the Hon. Henry Winter Davis
would have been the principal speaker, but
his sudden demise dcranged the plan, and
after the reading of letters from leading men
of nearly every State, and listening to some
brief, but pointed remarks from several
prominent speakers, the meeting adjourned
to another day. We give below the letter
of Mr.. Conness that our people may see to
what he has pledged them, and be prepared
to approve or disapprove of what be has said.
Strong as the language is, it is moderate
compared with that of many others, and the
loudest chorus followed the most emphatic
declarations What do we say-shall we
have war? That's what it all means. But
here is the letter:

SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON. Dec. 81. 1865.

ASHiNGTON, Dec. oI. ICOD
Dear Sir: Your note inviting me to attend
a meeting to be held in New York for the
purpose Of giving expression to American
opinion on the subject of the Monroe Doc
I tfine," is Just received.
1t will not be in my power to be present
on the occasion, but | can assure you fully
of my concurrence in the movement.
The constant menace of the baser tyr lnnes
of the old world during the recent rebellion
will remain fresh in the memories of our
people for many day The advantage
taken by the Emperor of France of our di-
rest troubles and needs in the invasion of
Mexico, and the attempt of that usurper and
traitor to liberty to establish an Empire
there by force of arms, has no parallel in
history. Undertaken by him upon the
double pretence of a defense of French in.
terests and in behalf of 9 order" he has be-
come the author of wrong and disorder which
must continue until he shall withdraw his
hirelings and pretenders to the place whence
they came
Spain, following the bad example, has as
saulted the Republic of Peru, and exacted
terms which the people of that noble coun-
try have contemptuously rejected. Upon
the most shallow and baseless excuses and
allegations. Spain has followed up her at
tack upon Peru by an assault upon the in
dependence of Chile, which Republic was
menaced by war, or presented the alterna-
tive of degradation. To the everlasting q
credit of that gallant, free and peaceful peo.
pie, the gauge of war has been accepted,
and now it is for just world, but partic
ularly for the American people, to decide
whether these constant interterences and
assaults on republican institutions and the
public peace shall continue. For one, | am
in favor Of plain language to European
powers. We are for peace and good will
upon the earth We do not claim the right
of forcble propaganlism of our political
principles but we believe in them and in
the advantage to mankind of their extern
sion.
You shall not suppress them by force
You have not been appointed by the world
as masters, neither pacificators, according
to your practice. We speak in our own be-
half and behalf of the independence of nations
and peoples.
Let this be our diplomacy, not diluted
until dissolved, and my opinion is that we
we will soon enter upon an era in which
the practice of each nation of the world
will be to mind their own business.
| have the honor to be your obcdient
servant, JOHN CONNEss.

A SuccEss.-The ball at Horsetown, on
Wednesday last, was, we learn from Sam.
Laventhal, a success in every sense. Over
fifty tickets were sold at S. each, besides
some thirty to the supper alone. We regret
that our business at home had such claims
upon our time as to preclude the possibility
of our participating in the affair. We con
gratulate our friends there on the result
particularly the little folks, who are thu:
benefited substantially in the means of ac
quiring that education so necessary to qualify
them for entering upon the stage of life, with
good prospects for success in the future.

A County safe.

We understand that application mas pee.
made to the Board of Supervisors 70 'u'
a safe for the County Treasurer. bu' ie"
roors have passed since application was MADE
a. po.rd 70 furnish Court House. The
.nd most persistent argument used to
induce th. incurring of heavy outlay lor
that purpose was that the county records
,,;obt he safe. There was reason IN that,
and a suitable building, fire proof Tor Court
House. Jail and county Offices was purchased
and fitted up The people are still sweating
under the load of taxation and debt incurred
by that measure, and have barely accustomed
themselves to the burthen when the Treasu-
rer elect steps forward and asks that the
county-the tax payers who elected him to
the position he spent much time in solic
lng-furnish him safe in order that he
may the more conveniently discharge the
duties of his office-dufies for the faithful
discharge Of which he has filed his official
bond.
If so necessary to the interests and safety
of the county funds, why has this demand
not been made earlier? The same duties
have been we'll discharged by others without
county repository and right here we Will
say that we know responsible men OF good
repute who will enter into bonds to discharge
the duties of Treasurer for less than half the
salary now allowed that officer.
However, laying aside all questions OF
economy in the matter, as well as the ques-
tion of authority in the Board to legally COM
ply with the modest requisiton, let us see If
good policy would justify it. The law pre-
scribes how the Treasurer shall be elected
and his duties, among which is the safe keep
ing of the county funds, and that be shall
give bonds in a certain amount, to the end
that the funds be safely cared for, and for
the faithful discharge of these duties he re-
ceives certain salary. The law does not
say that the county shall furnish the means
for the safe keeping of the treasure. but, on
the contrary, makes the officer give bond
sufficient to indemnify it against loss. If the
law said the county should furnish place
of deposit. then. we ask, where Is the neces
sity for the bond? There is no risk to be
incurred that a bond could be made liable for
in such case If the safe should be robbed,
there is nobody to blame but the county,
which furnished a safe not burglar proof
The officer would only have to show that he
placed the money there and that it had been
stolen therefrom, and he and his bonds are
discharged from any liability. Itwon't do.
1t is placing temptation where it should not
be placed. The expenditure is uncalled for
on any grounds of necessity, or utility. or
safety, is at variance with the spirit of the
statute creating the Office Of County Treasu-
rer, and is incurring an outlay of money that
is needed for other and better purposes.
The Shasta courier., 1866-02-17

SHIPMENTs.-For the month of January
the amount of bars and gold dust shipped
from Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Office, at this
place, sums up the fair aggregate of $1,000
90. January is comp paratively dull month
for shipments. The present month nearly
equals 1t now. These figures do not indicate
any great falling off in our mines. A little
more enterprise in opening our quartz and
deep placer mines, would add materially to
these figures. and compare well with, nay
beat, those outside mines about which there
is such a hillaballoo just now.
