PUBLIC DocuxESrs.-we are indebted to the
Hon. Jehn Bidwell, VI. C. from this Congressional
District, for copy of the Speech of the Honorable
Charles Sumner, delivered in the United States
Senate, February 9th and It'll. 1866. on 'The equal
rights of all the great guarantee and present
necessity for the sake OF Security and to maintain
Republican Government" The following te xt
occurs on the title page:
Taxation without representation is tyranny
The Revolutionary Fathers.
-"The laws, the rights,
The generous plan of power delivered down
From age to age, by our renowned forefathers
So dearly bought. the price of so much blood.
Oh Let il never perish in our s'-Addison s
Cato
But, if any among you think that Phillip will
maintain his power by having occupied forts and
havens and the like, this is mistake. Impossible
IS lt-impossible, Athenans-to acquire solid
power by injustice and perjury and fasehood.-
such things last for once, or Tor short period !;
may be, they blossom fairly with hope but in
time they are discovered and drop away. As a
house, ship or the like ought to have the lower
part firmest, so in human conduct | ween. the
principle and foundation should be just aud true.
Demosthenes, 2nd Oiymthiac.
We have not space for further reference, but the

RArIRolp FRoN ORovILLE TO OKE6eS-In the
Congressional proceedings of the 2nd instant. we
notice the attempt of our Representative. General
Bidwell. TO indace Congress to perform little act
Of considerable local importance to this Congress
sional District. Mr.. Bidweil asked consent of the
House to report the bill granting lands to aid the
construction of railroad from Oroville to Oregon,
and stated that the bin had been before the House
for seyersl months. and that it important that
il should pass in orier that work upon the road
might be commenced the present season. II de-
layed in its passage another month, the work on
the road would be delayed a whole year. Mr.. Jul
ian of Indiana, objected, because the bill revolu-
tionized the whole land policy by making direct
grants to the company We are not familiar with
the provisions of this particular bill, but have sup
posed them not TO differ materially from other bills
of this character The House refused to suspend
the rules to allow the bill to be reported and so we
suppose the work gees over. 1t appears to Us,
however. that work might be commenced the pres
ent season. notwithstanding the delay in the pas
sage of the bill. Its passage in some proper form
may be considered certain for grants Of land have
heretofore been given to railroad companies and
will be again notwithstanding the objection the
Representative from Hoosierdom. Just as soon as
Congress shall cease its wrangling over partisan
politics, and attend to the advancement of the
material interests of the country, this bill Will be
pushed through without serious opposition. 1t IS
always difficult task to procure the consent of the
House 10 suspension of its rules in order to pass
a bill of local Importance only.

NAY DAY.-Preparstions are being made in
nearly every town in the State for a proper OBJ

QUARTZ FROM MINERAL SLIDE.-We have in our
sanctum very fine specimen of Quartz. taken
from vein now being opened at Mineral Slide, in
this county, by Messrs. Hopkins, Cary, Simpson,
Lamond, Tinker and others. The specimen
sparkles with solid encouragement to the parties
interested in the ledge. If the paying quality
of the rock has been tested, we did not learn its
yield; but the specimen before us looks as though
the ledge might pay we'll as any of those that
have been successfully worked in the State.
Mineral Slide is located in the mountains of Little
Butte Greek, ard is mining district that has pro-
duced much dust, and is still being successfully
worked. There is no quartz mill in that mmedi-
ate vicinity, and the only means at hand for work
ing the ledge is the old arastra. The ledge opens
some six feet in width, and shows unabated rich
ness. There is plenty OF wood and water conven-
lent for practical purposes which has been secured
by those locating the Ledge. Specimens have
been sent below and richer ones are being found
as the shaft goes down on the ledge.

VALUABLE FARM FoR SALE.--Mr. James Wag-
staff late OF the RECORD, offers for sale one of the
finest Farms In Butte county, aud for that matter,
it is of the best pieces of land in the State. Ii
is situated in Hamilton Township, has frontage
of half a mile On Feather river, and Is in a good
state of cul tivation. Mr. Wagstaf had designed
it for homestead. bat a too close application TO
the duties of the Office during his connection with
the RECORD, undermined his health and admon-
ishes him to seek change of climate and scenery.
The location is healthy one, and possesses the
advantages of fine productive soil, and pure and
never failing water. We know of no farm property Y
in the State desirable than this and commend
the opportunity to purchase to those who would
procure valuable property in one of the really
fine garden spots of the State.

For IpAHo.-Mr. Burson left OroviIie last week
for Idaho. He is well acquainted with the geogra-
ply Of that territory and familiar with the routes
leading thence from California. and does not hesi
tate in expressing decided preference for the
Orovilie and Susanville route. He represents the
people of Idaho as heartily tired of the impositions
practiced upon the route through Oregon, and
disgusted with the misguided attempts to open i'm
practicable routes for the benefit of out-ofthewzy
four-corners and ranches and ready to furnish all
the aid possible in opening up the practical rouse
from Orovile. 1t only needs concert of action on
the part Of citizens to secure the trade of this
section to our county. The railroad can put down
freight in Oroville at less figure than it can be
put down by weekly stern-wheel steamers at mac
cessbe landings along the Sacramento river. and
the land carriage from Oroville to almost every
important point in Idaho is shorter and more easi-
y effected than by any other route. The people of
Idaho begin to appreciate this fact, and are anx-
ious to avail themselves of its advantages and will
sentation are dispelled by the sunlight of truth.
The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce should
not endanger the trade of Idaho and Menfana By
a dependence upon the ocean route through Ore
gon or by those interested in overland routes that
are impossible for stage lines. Impudent selfn-
terest is active in practcisng deception, aud una
Dashed by repeated failures Orovlle asks nothing
but what must result to the advantage of the en-
tire State The route is connected with and in
from the railroad system of the State
1t is practicable, and if attended to will secure to
California the trade of Idaho and Montana. If
San Francisco continues send the trade of those
territories through Oregon Nevada, she is but
committing suicide, by forcing the trade to seek an
eastern market by the way of the Missouri river.

SPECIAL ROAD TAx.-It will be seen, by refer
ence to advertising columns that, in pursuance
of an act of the Legislature of the State of Cali
fornia, entitled An act to provide for the con-
struction and repair of certain roads in Butte
county" tax of one per cent. has been levied on
the property embraced within the scope of territory
known as the 0rovie School District, and upon
all taxable property within mile either side
of the road leading from Lathrop's Ferry, Feather
river, by Wick's Ranch Magala and Inskip, to the
county line, for the purpose of improving this
route through the mountains, from Orovie to
Black Rock, Humboldt, &c. The Legislature de-
clined to grant State aid for continuance of this
line into the territories to the north and east of u.s.
but the construction of good road to the county
line will be of great advantage to- us. Plumas and
Lassen counties will be interested in pushing the
road through to the State line, and the people of
Humboldt, and Idaho when assured of good
and passabe wagon road through the mountains
Will not fail to put forth their endeavors to connect
with it. that they may have the advantage of the
shortest and best route for land carriage, and of
the railroad connection between Orovlle and San
than by any other route BY making good road
over this practicable route, invite the trade and
travel of those inland sections through the county
1t is an assurance TO them, at least, that they
find good wagon road to rail road communication
with the waters OF the Bay, when they reach the
line of Butte county. And they will reach it. 1t
is The route for the entire State to adopt. And the
State ourht To do so instead of couanderinr the
substance of the people in tunnelling through the
Dutch Flat mountains that the State of Nevada
instead of California, may realize the advantages
arising from the carrying trade of Idaho and Mon
tana. By building this road, our farmers invite a
market for their products to their very doors. 1t
will be one for all time too, for when other routes
shall be completed, this will still prove the shortest
and best. The assessors, under the provisions OF
this act, will commence their duties on Monday
next.

BULLY FOR RMaRYsvLLE-We ike good thing.
Especially something cool occasionally during the
approaching hot weather. The past few hot days.
has sent cool draught from the Queen City. and
we shall look in that direction hereafter for what
ever may be required that is refreshing snd frgid
That city. by hook and by crook, has managed 10
remain the head of navigation on the Feather. and
has been the depot for the entire freight required
by the rich mining sections of the Yuba and Feath-
er rivers, and for a long series of years, teams
were foundering, goods were damaged. and men
drowned, in the sloughs within sight of their city,
and they still moved on the even tenor of their
ways. Within the past few years they have built
bridge across the slough this side of their city.
with "cobing on the end Of il to shelter a''foot-
pad while he is watching for teams that he may
command to stand and deliver or turn aside and
swim: and now, their great wonder Is how people
get along without bridges, and the Erpress appro-
priately discourseth as follows On the subject =
.Since the foods of '61 and 81, the roads were
never so bad as now. We have just passed through
severe winter and now is the time to improve the
public thorcughfares. The people all along the
routes most Travelled are particularly interested.
and should urge the county officials to at once re
pair the roads and bridges Attention is specially
called to this by a traveller on the stage from Red
Bluff. He states that the bridge across Deer Creek
washed away some months since, and with slough
a mile south of it, are impossible TOR loaded
teams. At these two points the stage is even now
detained fully three hours at each trip, being
obliged to unload and carry their mail and baggage
some $50 yards, then cross in small boats.
bridge across Sand Creek, almost in sight of the
town of Chico, was washed away this
winter. and no steps are yet taken to replace it.
Butte and Tehama county should look to their
public roads and see that they are in passable con-
dition that will encourage travel, which is GER
tainly what they most desire, and money properly
expended on roads is sure to be returned tenfold.
When the Lincoln railroad connects with the Oro-
vile road which event is looked for within the
next three months, the bulk of travel and freight
will naturally take this route in preference to the
river, provided the roads from Oroville TO Red
Bl are in good order. We satisi ed the good
people of Butte and Tehama counties only want
their attention called TO these facts stir in the
matter; and trust the newspapers in those counties
will take hold OF the subject and urge it until the
necessary repairs are made. Then we shall be hap
py herald the fact and use our best endeavors to
turn tie trade this way" We acknowledge our
Delinquency in this respect, and will advocate an
appropriation by the Board of Supervisors for the
construction of substantial bridge across Sand
irrepressibe Pond at Chico will permit.
