GREEN CLAY SMIrH.-Green Clay Smith,
whose nomination to the Governorship of this
Territory was telegrap phically announced some
time since, but whose confirmation has not
been reported, recently stated in speech to
johnson ratification meeting, that "f Pres
ident Johnson had violated his pledges, so
had every member of his Cabinet who adopt
ed his policy. The radicals might talk abont
impeachment and treason but Andrew John
son was the Gibraltar of America, and every
man who dashed his head against that rock
would get his brains knocked out. Great
cheering.] With all the power that had been
offered to President Johnson within the last
few months-the army and navy at his back,
and he commander-in- chief, thirty millions in
the Freedmen's Bureau, and the Treasury at
his dispoSal-Napoleon would not have been
a patchwork to Johnson; but all these the
President put behind his back."-[ Montana

SAN FRANCISCO WoMEN.-In late letter to
the Stockton Herald, Lyman G. Doyle shows
up some of our San Francisco ladies. He
says: "There is, and has been, an epidemic
among the women of San Francisco to don
the habiImeDts of men, for the purpose of
seeing the sights prohibited 10 their inspec-
ton while wearing the female garb. The
first places women disguised in mems clothes
visit are the cellars, where "pretty waiter
girls" do their "beer singing" They hear
some rough jokes, see some lascivious actions
and familiarize themselves to MANLY actions.
Then the Bella Union is visited, and that tips
out all their remaining moaesty. Then the
Chinese dens, and the Anatomical Museum
make them perfect with forbidden sights so,
if they get drunk during some of their wan
derings, it is not to be wondered at. IF they
follow up drinking when they resume their
natural dress it is not to be wondered at. A
saucy lad got apunch in the eye the other
night and respectable though mischievous
girl, had black eye next morning. A jeal-
Gus husband returned, Unexpectedly, to his
home one night, and caught well dressed
fellow emerging from his cottage. The hus-
band knocked him down, broke his ribs, and
fractured his arm. His wife has been boil
stored up in bed ever since with fractured
arm, broken ribs, and bruised face A
brother went home little tlpsy the other
night and met "a cove" in the hall of his
fathers house. He familiarly slapped the
"cove's'' plug hat over his eyes. and had to
purchase new one for himself the next day
His sister was the "cove." These circum-
stances are facts. Girls should beware of
any women who suggests clark" of this
kind tothem. Women destroy more won en-
than men do."-[S F. Police Gazette.

Miscellaneous.
St Louis papers Of yesterday says:
THE river is rising. We learn of heavy
rains having fallen throughout Mime
sofa, Illinois, Iowa and Kansas. This
must result in a swelling Of all the upper
rivers. As late as Saturday last, the
river at st. Paul was falling, and appre-
tensions was felt of low water and diff
cult navigation. There has already been
good deal Of trouble at the lower rap
ids. The Upper Ohio is rising. Bust
ness is decidedly fat Boats are loading
for New Orleans at rates that will appa-
rently play them out"
The Louisville Courier of Tuesday
says:
The river was rising yesterday, though
only moderately fast, with four feet nine
inches water in the canal in the evening
by the mark During the previous
twenty four hours it had risen six inches
at The. head Of the falls and eighteen
inches at Portland The weather was
clear in the morning, but it soon clouded
up. with several showers during the day
and cloudy at night. On the falls there
were thiriy-three inches water in the
pass down the Indian chute, and the
river swelling slowly The reports from
Pttsburg have been somewhat con-
hictipg, but we still think fair stage Of
water may be looked for in that quarter.
The Golden Eagle, Sunday morning,
early, struck a stump or log in the Ohio,
in Chenaulfs Reach, which knocked a
hole IN hcr2 bottom alongside the star
board knnekle, which made her leak
badly. The officers Of the boat managed
to keep her aaoat and drew up to Oil
Creek bar, near Flint Island, where they
ran her on the bar into FIVE feet water.
She lies perfectly straight, and it was
thought she would soon be afoat again,
all right

A MISUNDERSTANDING THIEF. Michael
Harrigan, a hard-looking case, whose
assurance is only equaled by his per
sistency as a thief, was before Esquire
Creighton this morning, for robbing the
store Of Petit & Seddons, in the Provine
Block. Itappears that about five o'clock
this morning he broke one of the store
windows and distracted three boxes Of
shirts and one box of suspenders, which
he carried to some place in the rear and
hid part Of the goods. Alady observed
him and gave the alarm, when he was
pursued and captured after lively
chase and some resistance, during which
he hit one of the pursuers with lump of
coal. Nearly all the stolen property was
recovered He is supposed TO be the
same party that robbed the same store in
similar manner couple of weeks since.
At the trial this morning he asserted his
innocence, and offered to pay for all the
goods lost by both raids, and treat the
officers OF justice to all the wine they
could drink, if they would let him 60
He was committed for trial without bail)
at the next session Of the Criminal Court,
when it is to be hoped he will get his
deserts; for he is sly thief, always car
rying on his operations aboutthe time
when the police are assembled at the
station-house for roll.call. ga 81

smallest thing derogatory to q woman's
character will Ay on the wings Of the
wind, and magnify asst circulates, until
its monstrous weight crushes the poor
unfortun ate victim. Respect the name Of
woman, for yonrlmother and sisters are

WoMANs REPUTATIoS-As there is
nothing in the physical world so beauti-
full, in men eyes, asa beautiful woman,
so nothing is so beautiful in the moral
world as her character, when it has not
become depraved. Like snowy sheet Of
paper, it is easily blotted, while a word
heedlessly spoken against the reputation
Of female has been magnifed by mali
cious minds until the cloud has become
dark enough to overshadow her whole
existence To those who are accustomed
not so much from bad motives as
thoughtlessness-to speak lightly Of the
gentler sex, we recommend these hints
as worthy Of consideration Never use
lady's name in an improper place, at
an improper time, or in mixed company.
Never make any assertions about her
that you think are untrue, or illusions
that you feel she herself would blush TO
hear. When you see men who do not
scruple to make use Of a woman's name
in reckless and unprincipled manner,
shun them, for they are the very worst
members Of the community-men lost to
every sense of honor-every feeling Of
humanity. Many a good and worthy
woman's character has been forever
ruined, and her heart broken by lie, ma
nufactured BY some villain, and repeated
where It should not have been, and in
the presence Of those whose little jndg-
ment could not deter them from circu-
lating the foul and Dragging report A
