The weekly Butte record., 1867-03-16

The proceedings of Congress. we suppose, may
/ be justly called Congressional doings-" With
equal proprety the action of politicians who desire
to go to Congress, ostensibly to represent the peo
pie. but really to feather their own nests, may be
| called 'hoo-doo ing There is to be meeting OF
one of these committees in Marysrile, on the 5th
of April next, for the purpose Of calling District
Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress
from the third district. The committee is compos-
ed of the following gentlemen: J. S. Clarke of
Plumas: A. Powell. Jr., of Solano; j. E. wyman,
of Humboldt Judge C. C. Bush, of Shasta; W H.
Parks, of Suffer; (of where D; Charles E. Green,
of Yolo; and L. MCGUIRE, DR.. Stone. and C. E.
Fikns, of Yuba. A first rate committee, and dis
tributed the district in the exact proportion to
the voting population: Four to Marysville, and
five to the balance of the district. Ynba knows
how to Park" her artillery. Union men of Butte
are of no consequence on such committees; they'll
do very well to vote after the politicians of Yaba
have put up the game. In one Of its few irritable
moods some time since, the appeal stated that
good feeling had grown up between the citizens of
Marysville and Orovie during our absence from
the RECORD, that appeared 10 be trying to break
up. Four Congressional committeeman to Yuba
and none to Butte, certainly ought to create good
feeling on the part of the former, and should be
permitted to slightly test the patriotism Of Butte.
If continunce of the good feeling depends upon
such unequal representation in the primary move
ments of the Union party OF the district, We advise
the Union men of Butte to break 1t up at once. 1t
is good feeling in which they have no voice at all,
and borders far on the poreine, that Yuba ought
not TO grumbie at dissatisfied grunt from Butte.
We can stand it, and do not propose to interfere
farther than to call the attention of the Union par
ty of Butte to the fact that Marysville will repre-
sent them on that Committee. and do if with 'good
feeling too. And we should suppose they ought.
Nor CoRREcr.-The Nevada Gazette speaking
of the blockade on the Dutch Flat route and
the probabilities that the cars will again through
after aw hie consoles itself and the public as fol-
lows:
The amount of Snow that has fallen this season
IN the mountains Is unprecedented, an1 not only
the Dutch Flat route, bot every other route over
the mountains, has been blocked up and impassa-
ble''
The tendency of such talk is to spread the belief
that the Dutch Flat route is not more liable to be
closed by snow than other routes through the
mountains, while the facts do not warrant any such
conclusion. The stages running regularly thro
the mountains to Susanville and Qlincy, and the
surveyors who recently came down the North Fork
surveying for a wagon road, found no snow upon
the line of their route and they were out in one of
the recent severe storms. The fact is the Feather
river offers easy and practicable route for the
national railroad; that by Dutch Flat has proven
a failure, and all attempts to disguise the fact are
not only a hindrauce TO the great work, but are
foolish and wicked. The storms have indeed been
severe but the Feather river route has remained
open as was proven by a survey of it during the
unprecedented storms of February.
IDAHO on THE CHICo RoUTE.-A recent num-
Der of the draianche contains the following items
on Bidwell's humbug mail routes:
1.-The Red Bluff Lndependent says the Aralanche
is terribly down on the Chico route No such thing.
Always praised the route when that branch of
matter, but have righteously condemned the compa-
ny. which has been bilking the public by getting
tie mails the route and letting them stay there
for months. That's what's the matter, and there
is in any more lying about position
INFORMATION from Chico ntimates that Mack
and Jones will through coaches again soon
One mail has arrived this week-averaging less
than three per month since the wagons hauled off
the middle of last November. For several weeks
Beechy has carried the bulk of the matter for the
Chico route, and big per centagc of it for several
months. but of course will get pay for the EEK
ira service. Idaho people should remember these
favors.
