"BuMNRRs."- We are credibly in
formed that a prominent member Of the
Trio that voluntarily selected Nominators,
expresses himself determined that no
"bummers" shall. interpose their will in
the choice of Union candidates for city
officers. Hence justification for assum-
ing nominating power to himself! mas
much as he pays no X to the city,
county or State. ave and except q poll
tax-which all bummers" pay, who
vo,e-and as he spends as much time in
drumming" as the majority Of those who
are said to come under the title, we are at
o loss to comprehend from what financial
or moral underground he issues his
proclamation?
Notwithstanding the course pursued by
the City Central Committee, we have faith
that the government of Virginia city will
yet remain q government of the PEOPLE ;
and that no audacious usurpations OF
nominating authority by Committees will
be permitted TO work the defeat, not only
Of unselfish and honest men, but Of the
entire Union party, for all time.

EDITOR NBws The high-handed pro-
ceeding Of 10 Goodman, r. NJ. Daggett
and w. NJ. Cutter, in refusing, as Central
Committeeman, to appoint a time for Union
Primaries, and in naming a Nominating
Committee" is a character Of action emf.

Of the Union party next Fall. The as
sumption Of these men in stating that they
GOOD Lord! y pursued this unheard Of
course in order to defeat those continue

honest purposes" is peculiarly rich. The
attempt Of this Committee to run John
Piper clear out Of the ield-and Tritle as
wcll-by placing their names on their list
Of ]nominators, is very pretty. Why
didn't they put w. F. Shepard and his

A CHARAcTERIsTIc SrBscH.--The fol-
lowing is reported as the speech Of E. J.
Chase, Of San Francisco, delivered upon
taking the chair of Speaker of the Califor-
MIA Assembly on Monday evening, April
5, 1866. Picking up the Speakers mallet
in one hand and the presentation watch in
the other, Chase spoke as follows:
Feller Members This elegant present
reminds US, as the hour draws nigh when
this band of thieves must disperse, that
we must patch and pray. You have
watehed the Speaker and preyed on the
public treasury. / am no orator like Bill
Hunt of Sacramento. mol have I the mu-
steal voice Of Hunt of Santa Clara. The
Third House will keep quiet, or I'll order
Sergeant-at-Arms Ben Dore to show you
the door and inject you from the portals
"a Voice-"Port-holes, Mr.. Speaker"
Of the Capitol. In exercising the functions
Of Speaker, I viii! strictly adhere to Jeffer-
sons Emanuel. Here a shower Of books
-Adjutant Generals, agricultural and
| Swett's school reports, with Horace
Halves Registry and Hager's school bills,
rained down upon the Speaker. Order,
gentlemen, or I will declare this ere AS
sembly adjourned sine diney.
A Voice-Mr. Speaker, does that last
remark apply to the member from -
who dimes at lunch tables and washes his
wi socks? before a reply could be
made, q porter came staggering up the
aisle with some two hundred weight Of
documents, which was announced as the
report of the Committee on Federal Rela-
TONS.
The Speaker-To conclude, gentlemen,
I have not bored you with long or loud
speeches. have left that to my ~coadjutor,
Virgins of San Francisco, author Of the
Seduction bill. Here the member from
Mariposa poised a bulky Assembly Jour-
nal, aiming it at the Speakers head.
John Wilcox, take your seat i; I will allow
no member to assume as bale jiggerent an
attitude. You have dubbed together and
caned old Holden and Judge Brown with
some fine silverware, and l would advise
the Judge to keep his eyes on the spoons,
but he'd orter know the crowd he's in.
Here came q big book by the side Of the
Speakers head, from the direction Of Ala
medal You, Tom Eagar, do that again
and I'll send this ere gravel IA Voice
Gavel, Mr.. Speaker at your head. Here
came another shower of documentary mis-
siles, which the Speaker returned with
vollies from the Federal Relations reports,
until exhausted, when the Honorable Jake
closed with these remarks 8: Speaker Yule
will please to take this ere chair, for I'd
rather be a clam butcher in h-ll than to
preside over this ere Assembly. After
the adjournment I will go back to my
co~nstituents-a decent and orderly crowd
and once more preside in Washington
Market. Gentlemen, in the language Of a
Western poet, I will abskize.

,oNIs rs NOMINATED!

,so,,;nr an unprecedented course OF
action, the Virginia City Union Central
Committee, composed Of five members,
have chosen a Nominating Committee"
for the Union party +; the appointing Com
mittee believing that in this manner only
can they " defeat those continually seek
ing public place for selfish or dishonest
purposes !" This Central Committee can
not trust the Union voters with Primary
privileges, this spring. Without noticing
any other plain object in view by this
usurping action on the part Of the Com
mittee, we can directly state that out Of
the 40 members Of the " Nominating Com
mittee" 81 are known definitely to be for
Jones; and the remaining 10 might as
well stay at home as attend their appointed
meeting. OF course, when they assemble,
81 members being decided and outspoken
for Jones, they would naturally influence
some Of the l9 to their way Of thinking
but 10 members were not selected specially
with a view to their favor for Jones.
John Piper has been placed upon the nom
mating roll; when it was well known he
would be a candidate for the Mayoralty
himself.
The Enterprise confesses practically &c
the outrage which has been perpetrated by
the Virginia Committee, by making a long,
specious editorial plea in behalf Of the Com
mi,tee's conduct. Two members OF that
Committee, are Of the editorial corps o.
that paper, and another member Is distin'
guished for his subseryiency IN all things
to Jones Understanding liable, at any
time, to be Jones' principal in a wood
transaction. This constitutes a mai ority
Of the Committee.
We have nothing to say against the per.
sonnet of the committee chosen u OBJ
lection rests against the name Of theil
selection and the fact that more than hall
of them are named specially for the con-
tinuance in office of the presen, Mayor.
We will treat the people or Monday to
an account of some Of the doiugs official
of the man it is proposed to force upon
them as chief municipal officer. 1t may
prove that the move for his reelection has
been q fatal one for his chances I; for eithe,
the nominating committee or the people
may yet shake him off? The mass o.
citizens will be startled to learn Of some
of his transactions 4; and very likely many
of those he confidently depends upon a:
his supporters in this ofticer-naming com,
mit,ee are entirely ignorant, at the present
time, Of his ex,ortions from and attempted
exhausting descents upon the city treas
ury. o. no! George F. is not seeking thu
Mayoralsy for selfish or dishonest pnr'
poses" We shall see.

PRESERVATION OF TIMBER IN MINES
The San Francisco Miner thus speaks Of
the preservation of timber used for mining
purposes:
"In an ancient copper mine in the south
of Spain-the Nina de Riotonto-which
is known to have been worked upwards
of 1900 years ago, the timbers that sup
port the drifts run in those remot ages,
are as stout and strong to-day as when
they were first set up, their preservation
being due to the presence Of sulphate Of
copper in the waters that percolate through
the rocks over the timbers."

HELP TO THE PLAcERvILLE RAILROAD.
A few days since the Senate passed a bill
granting aid for the construction of a rail-
road and telegraph line from Folsom to
Placerville, California. Two provisions
occur in the grant sustaining this road
Patents for the land can only issue as
the road is completed in sections Of twenty
miles, and it is required to be built in all
respects as firs,-class roads, with rails Of
the best quality, manufactured Of Ameri-
can iron, and a uniform guage. The bill
is a companion to the n making like
grants of land for a railroad across
the Sierra Nevada from Placerville TO
Washoe."

A Row ut Salt Lake,

The Mormons are holding q g,And Con-
ference in Salt Lake City. Al collision
between Mormons and GentilsS is pretty
distinctly threatened by the iollbwing,edi-
torial from Bingham Young's organ, the
Telegraph Of April the 9Th:
For q long series Of years, the people Of
Utah have submitted to much abuse and
insult from q small coterie of corrupt,
vicious men. From the universally known
axiom of President Young, that cit is
better to suffer wrong than to do wrong"
patience and forbearance with enemies
have been cultivated to such q degree
among the people, and illustrated their
relations with others, that those infamous
wretches have presumed that they have
only to belch forth the putridness Of their
souls, and no man has any right to chal-
lenge their temerity.
We have seen the people ridiculed, hiss
ed at, spit upon, and outraged in the vii
est, dirtiest and meanest manner, by this
miserable handful Of scoundrels, till our
soul has sickened At the very mention of
"forbearance." We have, for very many
years, reverently bowed to the counsels
and instructions of wiser and more expe-
rienced heads than our own, and expect to
still continue to listen and to urge others
to cultivate those exalting virtues ; but
while the future may continue to illustrate
as in the past, we wish those hounds to
thoroughly understand that there is o
limit to abuse, and while there may be a
great deal to gain by enduring the one
sided legislative action of any government
till it can be remedied, the Infamous
wretches here called regenerators and all
who work with them and for them must
not forget that they have no such claims
for consideration and forbearance. Many
members of the community may still be
able to endure the abuse 80 thickly laid on,
but there are some who are not excessively
endowed with patience, and they will not
suffer past a certain chalk mark, without
resenting.

Catholic Church Property COnfiscated
in Poland

TIE Russian Government has confiscated
the entire property of the Roman Catholic
Church in Poland. BY virtue Of an imperial
ukase, dated December %, 1866, and promul-
gated January 10, the landed estates and
houses, as well as the ready capital stocks,
claims, and all other belongings of the natio! al
ecclesiastical establishment Of Poland, have
been seized and appropriated by the Gar. The
funds and other capital thus app opriated be-
fore the last rebellion amounted to 2,573,613
roubles the value Of tie land, &C., may be es-
timated at about six times as much. 70 make
mp for this scquestraton on a grand scale, the
Government who, as an indemnity for former
appropriations Of the same kind, previously
contributed about a third Of the Church ex-
penditure, now undertakes to provide the
whole salary of tue priests, as well as suudry
other items OF the current ecclesiastical costs
In the ukase enacting this sweeping mea-
sure the new annual budget of the Church of
Poland is fixed at 100000 roubles, sum
which, together with some others provided by
tie Government, amounts to rather more than
the. money hitherto applied to the same pur-
poses. The Archbishop of Warsaw, in accord
ance with the expressed principle of the Cow
ernment to raise the salary of the lower clergy
at the cost of the higher, loses about two thirds
of his income receiving 80 more than 5000
roubles in future; each of the five other bishops
is allowed 5000 roubes, and each of the suf-
fragan bishops 100 roubles. A parish priest at
Warsaw gets from 800 to 600 roubles year;
a parish priest in the provinces from 800 to
500, and vicer only 80 roubles The num-
Der Of lvings is fixed hy the new statute at
