many 'nink 1t is an easy thing to conduct pa
per through long and profitable career, if they
can only make start, get the press to working.
Capital and familiarity with the business
treated as OF no account till friends are exhaust
ed and the crash comes that common prudence
ought to have shown was certain. The only
consolation that offer in this case is that
it is not the first one of the kind and doubt
less, will not be the last. Success to the new
editor Here is his first leader:
alt is hard telling to whom the Journal, at
present, belongs. Mr.. Wilson has sold out to
Mr.. Isaac Young, and retires Immediately from
the char editorial Mr.. Young, having drawn
the elephant, don't know what to do with it
and is trying, by every possible means, to get it
off his hands. Meanwhile we step in, take full
possession, filling every position in the office,
from devil to Archangel, and get out a half
sheet Well, such is life. Here We are all at
once raised from the humble sphere of an in

ambition scared. Editor Whew Looks grand,

EXCITING NEWS.

The following dispatch was received at 10 o.
clock this friday morning:
SACRAMENTO, 23d.-Dispatches from the East
state that nothing since the assassination OF LIN
coin has created such profound sensation as the
action of the President in uniting hlmseh Win
the enemies of the Union They give accounts
of the most intense excitement which was IN
creased by the President revoking Gen. Grants
orders. Stanton has resigned. The prince OF
traitors. Vallandigham, is making speeches for
johnson. and Copperheads and rebels are jubi-
liant. The Chicago Tribune and Republican de-
nounce the President bitterly.
The President vetoed the Freedman's Bureau
Bill. The vote in the Senate to pass it over the
Presidents objection stood 30 to l8-not two
thirds The Ohio and New Jersey Legislatures
indorse the policy of Congress as against the ac-
tion of the President. Copperhead papers exult,
but only one Union paper-New York Times
sustains the President.
D. o. Mccarthy, editor of the San Francisco
Flag having refused to answer questions pro-
founded by the Senate in the examination of
charges of corruption made against its members
by the Flag, committed to Jail yesterday for
contempt, and a writ of hQbeas corpus was last
night denied by Judge McKune. Investigation
will proceed to-day. Legislature will adopt res
olution to-day or tomorrow sustaining Congress.

SHASTA, 23d.-A man named Chew was rob-
bed by two road agents on his way from Wea-
vervlle yesterday. He was mistaken for Chand-
Ter, the cattle-dealer

" WHITE MANS PREsIDENT."-s Hurrah for
Johnson He's going to prove himself the
white mans President yet" says the apologist
for treason, rebellion and assassination. "Bul-
" for Johnson, says the Iscariot who deserted
the Union party and sold his influence and honor
for mess of Democratic pottage. How well
and easily the two breeds mix. The Marysville
Express is the organ of both and here is what it
says:
johnson is certainly going to prove himself a
white mans President. The latest telegram re-
fers to remarks made by him to deputation OF
colored representatives, headed by Fred.
Douglass. that have offended seriously the whole
" colored " family, including the Sacramento
Union and have caused a number of Democratic
members to call and congratulate him. We have
had Andy's picture laid aside awaiting further
developments, and we begin to think it about
time to give it prominent and public place In our
Sanctum.
THE KIND THEY SEND TO CONGRESS FROM THE
SourH.-A black woman who is now servant
at Libby Prison, says that while Union prisoners
confined there during the rebellion, the col
ored people would come on Sunday afternoon,
and when the sentry had turned his back would
throw potatoes aud other food to the prisoners.
One day she had just thrown some potatoes when
the sentinel turning quickly, saw the prisoners
head and fired killing him instantly Just such
wretches he are to be fostcred, if not
mistaken in present indications, but the loyal
negress and her husband who fed the murdered
man neither entitled to citizenship a home
in the land. That's about the way President
johnson states the case, we believe.

coined that word? Is not polygamOus just
as good, more proper, and equally as express

We fancy that neither 'tpolygamic nor "po-
lygamous" is the proper term to apply to the
Mormon doctrine, but that the word should be
polygynous, implying having more wives than
one, while polygamy means more wives or hus-
bands than one.-Reese Rtrer Repeate

Is the Methodist E. Church a
Political Organization

There has been quite sensi6veness mani
tested by the American people, heretofore,
at the mere mention of an approximation of
Church and State, yet men now begin to
look upon the future as surely guaranteeing
the fact. To us it has been plain, that for
the past FIVE years the larger portion of the
clergy of the Methodist 4. Church, have
endeavored to make the Church a mere po-
litical machine, regardless of the teachings
of the gospel, still, there were hopes of
their returning to the great primary object.
AT camp meeting, last Summer, in Con-
cord, Delaware county, we heard what we
thought very strange discourse from the
Rev. Mr.. Mccullough, of this Borough
1t was delivered on Sunday afternoon, on
the power of thesChurch The preacher in
illustrating the immense power of the
church, declared that during the war, in
which he had experience, it was the great
talisnian, that victory was won by the church,
mot christianity the only loyal and
brave men who fought were of the church,
and that all others were towards This was
emphasized and repeated, as indicating the
great war power of the NJ. Z. Church organ
ization
On last Sunday, the same gentleman
preached a sermon in the NJ +. Church,
West Chester, on thestatistics of the Meth
odist and other churches, in which, he de-
clared that the church (the Methodist) was
now q pocer to the land to be felt, that pol
iticians might sag aghGt they pleased, bae
that they acouId hare to consult the church,
not only an making their nominations, but as
to the policy to be pursued.
Whether Mr. NJ c. speaks for the Meth
odist denomination, or merely for himself,
is not for US to say. 1t may be that he
speaks for both.
There can be no doubt, that whenever the
Methodist church intimates readiness to
abandon the Christian faith for the political
crusade, she will find plenty of reckless and
unprincipled demagogues ready to avail
themselves of her power but whether for
! good to the church OF the country, is entire
ly another question. The history of the
past does not furnish very fattering pros
poets for either in such an event.
There will be less danger to the country,
however, in simply selling christianity and
the church to the fattering demagogues,
then if the church herself. enters the are
ma for temporal power. The worst people
under heaven are those who cloak thecloveu
foot under a righteous garb. b.-Jefersonian.
