You are right, Colonel. The late
elections in the North show what
''party" has done there. When the
Democracy are willing to drop spar
ty" and go hand in hand with all the
advocates Of union and harmony, we
will experience but little trouble in
tumbIing radicalism from power.

PROTECTION OF IMMIGRANrs.-The bill
passed in the House of Representatives in
relation to immigrant vessels, provides
that, at any port where there is a U. S.
emigrant Office, no person shall go on
board a ship bringing emigrants, or have
intercourse with them before they have
landed, without the permission Of the SUI
p~erin,endent Of Emigration at such port

The RAILWAY PROM srooxrox TO Coz

The RAILWAY RON STOCKTON TO COP
PsRoPoLIs.-Those Of our readers who
have visited the southern mines in Califor-
MIA mus. we'll remember the long line Of
dusty, fat road that intervenes between
Stockton and knights Ferry, or between
that frst.named city and the foothills in
Calaveras county, and how wearisoms
was the monotony Of that twenty-five
miles in the crowded stage. The line Of
the new railway will do away with this
discomfort, as it lies nearly midway be-
tween the Mokelumne Hill road and the
Sonora and Knights Ferry road, and from
the terminus of the first division, at a dis
lance Of twenty miles from Stockton, a
branch line will run to Knights Ferry,
whilst the main line will run about twenty
miles further, forming the second division
to Copperopolis, which is only fifteen
miles from Sonora. Already twelve miles
Of the road, starting from Stockton, are
graded and ready for the ties, having been
completed in two months, and the iron.
spikes and chairs for twenty miles are all
aaoat-the first shipment of them will
arrive the beginning Of August. Eighteen
miles Of the road is, according to the con-
tract with Messrs. Nagle s Ivers, to be
built and running by next September, and
the whole line to Copperopolis by the frs,
of September, 1859. if not sooner, and
Mr.. Dooley, the well known stage propri-
e,or Of Stockton. says that every Ave miles
Of the road built will be the starting point
Of his stages.

RoMB.-A lady correspondent Of the
Springfield Republican, writing from
Rome, says:
It is wonderful how the American has
become indigenous in Rome, like the Per-
sian daisy in our meadows. The newest
civilization in the world takes root in the
oldest, democracy amidst aristocracy, Wig
or amidst decay. American youths and
maidens dream in the moonlight of the
Colosseum, pick violets at the Villa Pam
pill Doria, shine at the balls Of Roman
Senators, and American equipages crowd
! the Pincian Hill, and flock to the fox
hunts on the Campagna American stu
dos are the ones best worth visiting, and.
it would seem, the most numerous. One
who looks behind the veil Of Roman life
tells me that this winter there has been
great murmuring among the middle classes
Of Roman society, in regard to the notice
which Americans have obtained from the
aris,ocracy, A Roman banker, or a prince
who has soiled his hands with trade, ex-
poets no welcome in the Colonna or Cor
CHEESE palaces; but, they say, rich Mr..
Stone or Wool, the merchants, come over
from America, with their pretty daughters,
and aristocracy reaches out both hands to
welcome them. They cannot comprehend
that 1t is because Stone and Wool have
| force Of character enough 10 bring over
their American position with them ; and
affinity finds affinity, whether it calls itself
merchant or prince.

Counres,iouaI Weakness,

Several gentlemen in Congress, for
whom, as individuals, we entertain the
highest respect, seem to have adopted as
an automatic principle that the end ius,i-
6es the means. Being quite sure that
they have most excellent ends in view,
they are somewhat careless as to the
means employed to accomplish them. The
Radical majority in the Senate, for in
stance, gained nothing, but lostimmensely
in moral power, by the expulsion Of
Stockton. Of New Jersey, because every.
body in America knows that If Stockton
had been in favor of the passage Of thu
Civil Rights bill over the Presidents veto,
he would have retained his seat. Then
the vote for the admission Of Colorado,
because her Senators-no new States are
ever lacking Senators-haye been convert.
ed to Radicalism, is discreditable and
must be damaging. We do not wish to
see allied with the dangerous doctrine Of
"dead States" the fatal practice of coun.
terfeiting States. Then several Demo
cratic members of Congress have been
ousted, and Republicans put in theil
places, when it was by no means clear thai
Justice was done in the premises. Brooks,
Of New York, and Voorhees,, of Indiana,
live in Copperhead districts, and it ought
not to astonish any body to learn thai
they we actually elected to Congress.
But there were great frauds in the cleo.
tions it is said. We do not doubtit. Oul
impression is that in both cases named the
matter should have been referred back to
the people-that the race should have been
run over again. Beside the intrinsic pro.
priety of this, it would have furnished an
excellent opportunity for public men to
feel the public pulse, a ceremony always
desirable. All readers of our political
history know that the Democrats were in
the habit, when they had the power, Of
tumbling opponents out Of their seats in
legislative bodies, whenever q contest could
be raised with a coloring Of plausibility.
Democratic partizans have no right to
complain IL Republicans follow their pre-
cedents, but we have and we object par
ticularly to see the bad presidents of the
Democratic party adopted as law, by those
who come into power upon higher profes.
sions and principles. And in these diff
cult, not to say critical, times, when so
much, perhaps the peace Of the country
itself depends upon the strict observance
of the laws, law-making bodies should
with patriotic vigilance guard their integ-
rity, doing nothing to impair their moral
force-nothing that will divest law Of
sanctity. A vote or two, more or less, in
either House Of Congress is a little mat
ter, but it is Of the first consequence that
Congress should have the confidence of all
friends Of the Government and the respect
of ita enemies.-Cin. Commercial.

The DUTCH FLAT TIDE WATER RANCH.
The Quincy Union, (Cal.,) says that an
extra session Of the California Legislature
should be called to repeal the law levying
an extra tax for State Capitol building
purposes, US the bed Of the Sacramento
river is rising faster than the walls of the
ediice named. The Union says, in the
course Of an editorial:
Why should we waste our money in
attempting to rear above the swamps Of
Sacramento the contemplated buildings I:
Is not the bed Of the Sacramento river
rising faster than the walls of the build
ings The building tax was doubled :h;s
year. All Of it il spent, will rot advauIs
the building as fast as the river advance.
Think Of it! Steamboats, running aground,
and the river eighteen feet above low wa
ter mark The bottom Of the river is
rising faster than the walls Of the Capitol !
Give them the benefit Of a tax Of Is cents
on the 800. a tax 8 cents higher than
they now have, and their most sanguine
friends only estimate that such gains can
be made upon the river. that by the time
the building is completed, the cupola alone
will be above the bed Of the river! "But
they are filling up the city" True, they
fill the streets, leaving the cellars Of their
houses, and squares and vacant lots to be
filed with water seeping from the river
above them, and the street grades to be-
come boundaries for pools of stagnant
water from which malaria will exhale dis
ease and death to all within its poisonous
influence.
We say give us an extra session, and
let us have a firm, united and successful
effor. TO remove the Capital, and thus save
the great interests of our State from the
deadly. blighting influences that are now
preying on her vitals.

OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE MAN
sIoS.-The bill empowering the President
to appoint certain officers Of his household,
passed the House on the 2lst May. An
amendment giving the President a short
hand amanuensis was rejected. Mr.. Ste
ven. and his radical brethren opposing it,
they having fears that the shorthand
writer would be used to report the Presi-
dents speeches. The bill was finally
passed by a vote of 50 to 2S, the negative
votes being cast by the extreme radicals.
The bill gives the President a private Sec
rotary at $4,000 salary, an Assistant Pri-
va,e Secretary at $4,000, four Clerks at
$500 each, and a Steward at 3 1000, the
latter to give bonds for the safe keeping
of the household furniture. This force is
less than is requisite to do the business
pressing upon the President.

COME NOW.

It is amusing to witness the mounting
of the hool-hooting portion Of the "Rad-
cal" press over the Constitutional Amend
ments that have just passed Congress.
Instead Of coming out squarely and con-
Tossing, with their champion, Thaddeus
Stevens, that the Congressional policy has
been adapted to Conservative ideas and
demands, they have the supreme foolish
ness to think they can claim a rampant
radical" victory. With the plain facts
Of history staring them in the face, they
talk of an achieved triumph for the "Ultra
ideas of Congress. We have no objec-
ton to their making q laughing stock Of
themselves by such displays Of Stiffness;
we would not aggravate their Affections
no not for q moment or to the degree OF a
single capillary twinge. But we must in
form them, and that upon indisputable
evidence, that they have nc right hereafter
to continue quotations from Wendell
Phillips or expect to find argument for
their columns in the speeches and letters
of Fred. Douglass. Phillips condemns
the Amendments in toto; and here is
what the talented African, Douglass, says
of the Congressional "Policy"-even as it
appeared before the Senate cut off the
oradicalism" that survived the Houses
fourth cogi,ations on Reconstruction
writing to W. NJ. Steuart:
The plan of reconstruction just submit
ted 10 Congress by the Reconstruction
Committee, is, in its main features, a Grim
inal abandonment Of the colored people Of
the South to the slender mercies" Of their
old masters-the traitors and rebels-since
it leaves the question Of their ~enfranchise.
ment to depend upon the disposition OF
the white people Of the South. II this
plan succeeds we are abandoned by Con-
gress if this succeeds we are to look to
our enemies for friends, to the slave States
for freedom-which is about as wise as to
look to drunkards for sobriety, and to
houses of prostitution for purity.
Now we think Douglass is very greatly
mistaken in his belief as to the result }.
the Congressional plan to which he refer
red, had it been adopted. (Of course, he
will be more violent in his denunciations
of the amendments that passed.) Still,
there have been plans before Congress
which he endorsed. in harmony with the
h~ool-hooting organs; andhe either is a sim
pleton or there is q glazing inconsistency
in the record of those who recently copied
his phillipics against the President with
such hearty approval Of all the sentiments
and epithets contained in the same.
The Chicago Tribune and the other can
did Radical journals Of the East do not
hesitate to denounce or, at least, acknowl-
edge the Congressional plan as substan.
TALLY laid on the foundation Of the Presi-
dents policy. Nor is there any getting
around the truth Of this acknowledgment.
There is not the slightest particle Of COM
nor sense manifested in e~ndeayoring to
avoid the open acceptance Of the state
ment that Congress has retreated from its
original "Radical" position and passed a
programme, adopted a policy" If you
please, very closely allied to if not entirely
obedient to Andy Johnson's recommends
tons.

SOME things it is in human nature to
forgive and forget, but ingra,itude is not
one Of them-especially such base and
black-hearted ingratitude as that shown
by the Canadians towards their neighbors
in New York and Vermont. 1t was by
and under the Reciprocity Treaty these
miserable wretches lived and grew rich.
The bulk Of their trade was with us. We
gave all and received nothing. Yet on
the very first favorable opportunity they
aimed their daggers with 6endish purpose
right at the heart our country, and
chuckled sardonicslly at every one Of our
misfoItunes. II their laws did not, at
least their judges in the administration of
them, did sanction and applaud the worst
phases Of Canadian public opinion in it's
malignant intent against our country and
countrymen. Blind and stupid demons!
What else could they expect a y that
wrongs such as these would beget hatred
on u part, and when the moment OF OPP
p~ortunity came, our people, if not the
Government, our people, even in disregard
OF the Government, would retaliate p

PLAcRRvILLE RAILROAD GRANrs.-The
New York correspondent Of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin, referring to Washington
matters, says: "Conness' bill granting
lands for the construction Of a railroad
from Placerville across the Sierras, to
unite with the Pacific Railroad, meets Sc
rious opposition, upon the ground that il
will be a rival to the Pacific Railroad
already being constructed. Highly has
been heard before the Committee in favor
Of the bill, and Ashley, Of Nevada, and
c. P. Huntington against it. While no
decision has been rendered, the chances
are tina. the Committee will report ad-
versely."
The construction Of o rival road across
the Sieras is just what is needed. One
road will be Of very little advantage o
tho people Of this State and Nevada /; 81
unless the Central Pacific has competition
the directors will keep up the prices II
transportation at about the present rates.
We can scarcely believe that Ashley has
been bought up by the railroad company;
but It appears the company is exercising
q controlling influence in Congress.-Ne-
uGda (Cdl.) Gazette.

III SOLDIERS HOME.

No nation ever spent so much in feeding
and providing in every way for the COM
forts Of their armies as we did during the
late war. The public purse, and private
ones also, were opened wide. The SAM
tary and Christian Commissions performed
q work such as no other people had ever
conceived possible in time of war. To
provide now for the comfort Of the dis
abled veterans, by whose wounds our
victories have been purchased, is the duty
that remains, and in this respect it is graf
flying to learn the last difficulty in the
way Of promptly carrying out the plans oil
the Government on this subject is now
about removed. It will be remembered
that Congress passed an act for the erec-
ton Of a National ASYLUM, Of a very ex-
tensive character, for the benefit of soldiers
disabled during the war. Many-moss OF
these, perhaps-will in any case desire to
remain at home among neighbors, friends
and family ties, which are in themselves
often the best of medicines for a weakened
frame. But there are, on the other hand,
those who have no such ties left, and no
means of being so furnished with care and
watchful attention as their cases require.
Unfortunately, Congress, in its anxiety to
make this matter thoroughly national,
appointed no less than a hundred officers
as %corporators in this matter, who were
scattered all over the country, and mos;
Of them in active service. Some were in
Maine and some in California, but 1t was
impossible for them all, or even a quorum
Of them, to meet even TO organize. The
difficulty has now been met by an amend
ment to the act, reducing the number OF
corporators to the more efficient number
Of nine, and that amendment has been
promptly approved BY the President.
Every effort, public and private, to show
the wounded that their position and past
services are not forgotten, is not only an
&C. of principle, but not Of public policy.
To q nation that, in time of peace, keeps
no standing army at all adequate to any
war e~xigencies, bu. depends upon the
valor Of the volunteer soldiers called out
by each national emergency, it is a neces-
sity that the injured should be taken care
Of for life.

FoR RsPRAL.-We have always been in
favor Of q State mining law, but we believe
the one passed at the last session Of our
Legislature is worse than none at all. AT
the late election for Mining Recorder in
Austin, the people expressed their very
decided disapprobation of it. As it had

the popular mining sense of the State
Mining Law, q box was placed at the

Board, in which ballots for or against the
law were to be deposited. Following is

of the law, 6. Whole number Of votes,
