"DIG." The Sacramento Union, and
all its echoes, says the Colusa Sun, are
wonderfully concerned about the want of
dignity" shown by Andrew johnson in
making stump speeches. The Union is
perfectly Mortified at the idea ola stump
speaking President; but President who
could tell an obscene joke and call for the
singing of ribald song amid the dying
groans of ten thousand of his country
men, was chock full of "dignity." The
"loyaP papers advertised "Old Abe's
Jokes for Sale" That was "dignity"
personifed. The bookseller will put the
books-"Old Abe's Jokes" and "Andrew
Johnson's Speeches." side by side, but
the friends of the former will complain
that the title of the latter is not "digni-
fed" enough That cat "Dig." can't be
made to jump, so gentlemen, the less you
uncover your neither extremities in the
effort to make him "skip" the better for

NEGRO VS.. CHocTAw.-The negroes
west ofArkansas, who were formerly held
as slaves by the Choctaws and Chickasaws
have been metamorphosed into Indians
by the terms of a recently promulgated
treaty with the tribes mentioned. All
negroes resident In the nation are incor-
porated into the respective tribes, and
they are to have and enjoy all the
rights, privileges and immunities enjoyed
by the Choctaws and Clickasaws them
selves, including forty acre farm and
the right of tribal suffrage. The funny
part of it is, that while the negro, as
negro, can claim the benefit of the Civil
Rights Bill, as Choctaw he can't. In be-
coming an Indian, one of the real original
Jacobses, he ceases to be citizen of the
United States, and gets beyond the pale
of Radical philanthropy.

OFFICIAL RoBBERY.-Somc idea may
be formed of the magnitude of the Off
cial felonics upon the Federal Treasury
during the past four years of Abolition
rule by the display that is made in part
By some few of the weaker tools used by
the officials for this purpose. 1t is now
announced in all the newspapers of the
country that Jay Cooke, an obscure street
corner broker at the commencement Of
the war-not then probably worth enough
to pay his debts-now returns an annual
income of 1925, ,000-his taxes alone
amounting to $50, ,00G year! There is
where large per cent. of the three or
four thousand millions of debt has gone
on which the people are now struggling
to pay the interest.

A PARELLEL.-The Radical newspa-
pers desire the Fenian Brotherhood should
join the Radical party in keeping South
ern States out Of the Union. Let us see
what consistency there would be in such
conduct. England holds Ireland as the
Radicals now hold the South. She taxes
the country and denies it equal represent
alton. She holds the Irish people as
serfs and vassals; as a subjugated prov
ince. So, too, the Northern Radicals
hold the South. They are denied repre-
sentation; they are taxed they are held
as subjugated provinces, and all rights OF
equal, supreme States are refused them.
Yet Radicals want Fenians, who are seek
ing to restore ireland to its deserved po-
sition and rights, to aid them in keeping
the South in subjugated condition. Is
there either reason or consistency in any
such requirement? Will single Fenian
be misled by any such proposition? We

TIE DEMOCRATIC PARrY.-The Jour
nal Of commerce, alluding TO the radical
cry that the democratic party is dead
says: 1T has existed through the last
six years aud has polled just about one
half of the entire vote of the country
1t has been welded together more firmly
aud compactly than ever before in al! its
history. II any one doubts this, let him
study the facts and look at the remarka-
bic spectacle presented from year to year
by this party, marching steadily TO the
polls in solid phalanx, met by every sort
of opposition, undera tempest of obloquy
threatened with the direst punishments
but unfinchng for all that, earning fair.

Wo clip the following from the last
issue of tie Christian Advocate


We clip the following from the last
issue Of the Christian Advocate
"a recent issue Of the STATE RrGHTs DEMocRAT
devotes long leader to our special benefit. It IL
laborng under tho halucination that the Advocate
has snid some naughty things about 1t. But 1t Is
strangely bofogged as To tho aots IN the case. We
simply nsked how We might be able to twin n
smile from the DEMocRAT" not word beyond
this surely this is not very grave breach of
courtesy.
We cannot be drawn into tho "hlthy pool of
politics.: ministers must stand aside. Our pugil.
istio neighbor will please excuse us"
The Advocate editor, as will be seen,
denies that he has ever said anything
about us calculated to injure us. Lot us
examine this point little. In the re-
cent issue of the Advocate he asserted
that we-the editor of the DEMOCRAT
had made "frequent and unprovoked at.
tacks on the Methodist Church" =" This
is utterly and totally false. We have
never attacked the Methodist Church ;
but if the community can be made to be-
lievc that wo have, will we not thereby be
injured 2 Is not this one naughty
thing" the editor of the Advocate has
said about lis ? OF course il is, and this
was the design Of the "Doctor" when he
pcnned it. He intended, if possible, to
make the DEMOCRAT odious in the eyes
of the Methodist Church.
Again: The doctor" has asserted
that we treasure cup wrath against all
who we're valiant for liberty, truth, hui
manity and God, during the fierce, pro-
longed and sanguinary war" Is there
nothing naughty" in this? Every word
in it is false and it's tendency is, if be.
lieved by the community, to injure us, as
man, and the party of which We arc
proud to be member.
1t is iitlsehood that we ever treasured
up wrath against any one who was valiant
for liberty.
1t is u lalsehood that VIC treasure up
wrath against any lover and ndherent oi
truth. We hate liar, and We trust our
amiablc Portland brother will not again
give us just cause for hating him.
1t is falsehood that we treasure NJ
wrath against any one valiant for human.

Stories Of Irish bunders are vastly
amusing, but did mortal man ever hear Of
anything more Emeral than this: A
gentleman sent his Irish servant up to his
room for pair of boots. and at the same
time told him to be sure aud get mates, as
there were two pairs together in the
closet. Pat returned with two boots, but
odd ones.
"Why, don't you see that these are not
alike one is a long top and the other is
short one, said the gentleman, out of
prtence with the fellow.
"Bedad. your honor" said Pat in apoi-
oey, San its true for yez. but thin the
other pair was just so too"

Some time ago, the Prince Frederick
Charles, now the victorious Prussian
General, wrote and printed pamphlet, the
object of which was to show how the
French are to be be beaten. In substance
it maintained that the secret of the mill
tary success of the French lay in their
being drilled to celebrity of movement in
the field. The remarkable campaign in
Germany is one proof that the Prince has
not neglected to carry into practice the
sprecept he laid down.

A TERRIBLE REvENGE-A young

been badly treated by an elder sister, took
a terrible revenge. Procuring stick

dissolved it in her sister, wash pitcher
The young lady performed her morning
absolutions, and was Mortified to find that
her hands had turned as brown as those
of mulatto. A look at the glass re-
vealcd the alarming fact that her face was
the same color. The young sister now
heartily repents her criminal folly, and
would do anything in the world to rem
edy the evil she has caused. time can
only efface the marks ofthe terrible bath,
and in the meantime the affair is being
quiet, Callers are told that the young
lady is i'll of contagious disease, and she
keeps her room impatiently awaiting the
tedious process of growing white again.

parsnips on some ofthe ranches near the
city are troubled with the rot, or some
other kind of disease which is new to
that locality. We saw number of these
vegetables, yesterday, from Wentworth's
ranch, on Gold-Flat, that were ten to
twelve inches long and from one to three
inches in diameter, decayed all over the

the potato rot. 1t does not appear to be

self competent to change a white man
into negro, or rice rersa. As we'll might
one expect to see the leopard change his
spots. Climatic influences may tempo
rarily alter the color of the skin, but they
do not flatten the nose, crisp the hair,
thicken the lips, elongate the heel, or
dwarf the brain. Even the impression
on the skin of the white man is ephcmer-
al, and not extended in any degree to his
children. Nor have northern ATTITUDES
ever been known to make any permanent
change on the African skin.
What may reasonably be expected
from the commingling ofthe different types
of mankind in political government ?
\ government, the joint product of the
white man and negro, could not express
the peculiarities Of either. 1t would cx-
press what would be compromise be-
tween the two races. 1t would express
the white mans preference for freedom,
for civil and religious liberty, and the ne
gro's preference for absolutism and slave
ry. 1t would express the tendency of
the white msn to industry, and that of
the negro TO Incidence and Indifference to
the future. 1t would express the love OF
The white man for science, the arts and
