CALIFoRNIA WINES The San
Francisco correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says:
"The single valley of Sonora pro-
duces annually over Il million gal
Ions of wine, and the total product
of the State, this year, in spite of a
short crop of grapes in some lacali-
ties, will be from $500, 600 to 1000,
600 gallons. To this, you may add
100, 900 gallons of brandy, represent
ing nearly million more gallons of
wine, and you may then form some
idea of the grape-growing interest
of California; and yet tits in its infan-
cy.

PIoUS MURDERERS. The New York
Times has short article mooting the
question whether the present way to
Heaven and everlasting life is via the
gallows. 1t says:
The number of pious murderers
who are dying on the gallows Just
now in various parts of the country
is quite remarkable. From these
dying speeches, the shortest and most
triumphant route to Heaven would
seem to be through Murderer's Alley.
No saint or martyr of the olden times
ever died more ecstatically for his faith
than these scoundrels for their crimes
The first Christian martyr, stoned to
death for his devotion and his blame
less lite, died with humble prayers
upon his lips; these rnffians exult in
their certainty of salvation, though
their souls are black with guilt.
There is something infinitely disgust
ing in all this-utterly shocking to
ones sense of decency, and revolving
to all just distinction between virtue
and vice. There is no telling to what
absurdities fierce and crazy fana-
tlcisn may not carry its victims; but
it strikes lis that the blaspheming
rhapsodies and self-complacent exulta-
tlons of these brutalized villains
who are SO stepped in guilt as to make
1T doubtful whether they have enough
that is human left in them to make
Christians of-might be sensibly and
usefully confined to the privacy of
their cells.

The Election.

At the time of going to press we have but
little information from the elections held in
this State on the 10Th and Goth. We have
no doubt, however, from what we have heard,
that the Republicans have carried the State
by large majority.
We learn that Wilmington has gone Re-
publican by large majority, and that
Newbern has given 800 majority for the Re-
publican ticket and for a Convention. We
think it certain that majority OF the regis
tered voters have voted on the question of
Convention, and that large majority of the
vote is for Convention.
Wake County has no doubt elected the
Republican ticket by large majority. The
pollholders at Raleigh are not permitted to
announce the vote. and we are, therefore,
unable to state the vote with accuracy, but
we think it probable the majority in Raleigh
is 500. We have heard from several other
precincts up to- Tuesday evening, and make
our estimate as follows:

ILLEGAL TICKETs.-A large number OF
Tickets were voted by the negroes, on yes
terday, on which the Christian names of the
Radical candidates are not given, but sim
ply the initials. According to Gen. Canby's
order, these votes are not entitled to he coun-
ted. They We're printed at the Standard of
flee, we presume. as they have on them the
promised device"-a blue nondescript
something, probably symbol of the League.
Sentinel
No order by any officer, not even Presi-
dent johnson, can make null and void the
law of Congress. There is no law to the eff
feet that voter shall not vote for j. P An
drews, B. S. d. Williams, or James H.
Harris, or s. D. Franklin The custom here
has always been to vote with initials
as well as full names. The persons vo-
ted for are known. There can be no mis-
take in this respect. Gen. Candy will
direct all votes cast according to law to be
counted. We warn inspectors that our 10y
al people will not be trifed with and de-
prved of their precious right of suffrage by
mere technicality.

STILL DREAMING OF REBELLIoN.-Ge
Ord has about as risky and irrepressible
set of rebels to deal with in Mississippi as can
be found outside of Tennessee. The heated
action of the day, when over, is often con-
timed in the dreams of the sleeper. The
rebels in his district are still fondy dream,
ing" of their old devitry. We published
yesterday an effusion from the seditious ana
insolent McCardle. The editor of the Bran
don Republican is endeavoring to vie with
McCardle. He says in his last issue:
We have borne the tyranny and lnsoence
of these contemplate hounds until patience
has ceased to he a virtue, and were it not for
the bright clouds looming up in the North
sky promising relief at no far distant day,
we would urge our people to arm themselves
and rid our sunny cline of the Internal nu-
isance, at the risk of total humiliation. We
cannot live much longer under Federal rule,
and if the Conservatives of the North do
not repudiate them and come to our relief
soon, we must defend ourselves against the
robbers and assassins, or he robbed of the
little remnant we saved from the wreck OF
war, and be ourselve ground into the very
earth beneath fhe iron heel of negro and
Yankee despotism.
If it is not the height of license liberty 1t
certainly is not-for a traitor to be allowed
to use such language with impunity, we
have yet to learn what it is.-Memph1s

Sheriff RAY.

This excellent and prompt officer, on Mon
day evening" received an order from Gen.
Candy, instructing him to report to Head
quarters, at once, all persons who are delin-
quent in paying their State and County
taxes. He met with number of colored
people, soon after, and informed them of the
order and urged upon all of them, who
were delinquent, to pay up their taxes at
once so as to avoid the necessity of being
reported as delinqucnts. He told them that
all delinquents, without regard to color,
should be reported.
| 1t was not long after this, that the report
was started that Sheriff Ray had received an
order from Gen. Candy, that all delinquent
tax payers would not be allowed to VOTE
Who gave this coloring to the report, we are
not advised. 1t is positively certain that
Sheriff Ray gave no cOuntenance ach0terer to
this rumor by anything he had said.
We learn that, on yesterday, handful
was issued from the Standard office, charg-
ing this rumor upon Sheriff Ray. The
statement is wholly false and unfounded.-
Sentinel.
The above is poor excuse for the con-
duct of Sheriff Ray in this matter. 1t was
singular in him, as soon as he received this
notice, it being the evening before the cleo
ton, that he should at once go upon the
street and read and explain the notice to the
colorcd people. 1t has not heretofore been
his habit to promulgate his orders in this
way. But the above statement of the Senti-
mel is totally unfounded. We have the proof
from credible witnesses, both white and black,
that Sheriff Ray told the people, after reading
the order, that they could not cote until they
pail their tares. Sheriff Ray knows he used
this language. 1t can also be proved that
one of our City officers joined him in
this, and said, " that shows you can't vote
until you pay your taxes"
The Extra Standard referred to by the
Sentinel appears in the Standard to-day
Every word in that Extra is true.
We learn that Sheriff Ray has denied this
statement to Col. Bomford. That officer will
no doubt give him a fair hearing. The proof
against Sheriff Ray is conclusive. Wit
nesses were sent to Col Bomford, and Others
were in readiness, to prove this gross miscon-
duct on the part of this officer, the effect of
which it was hoped would prevent many Re
publicans from voting, and thus obstruct
reconstruction.
We have no personal feeling in this mat
ter. We are simply discharging our duty
to the country. The Sheriff might as well
be quiet. His threats amount to nothing
No one fears him. The day of bludgeons
and fsticuffs has passed away. Loyal men
intend to rule in peace, and malcontents and
traitors will be made to know their places.

ROCK ME TO SLEEP.


Backward, turn backward, o Time in YOU

Make me child again just for to-night!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yorc;
Kiss from my forehead the burrows OF care,
Smooth the few silver threads out OF my
hair;
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock me to sleep
Backward, flow backward, tide OF the
years,
am so weary of toll and of tears
Toll without recompense-tears all IN vain
Take them, and give me my "chlldhooo

I have grown weary OF dust ana decay
Weary of tlinging my souls wealth away;
Weary of sowing for Others to reap
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock ME to sleep.
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother. O, Mother, my heart calls for you
Many IA summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded our faces between,
Yet, with strong yearning and passionate
pain,
Long l tonight for your presence again,
Come from the silence so long and so deep !;
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock me to sleep
Over nv heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like Mother love ever has shone;
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful. unseltiSh and patient like yours.
None like Mother can charm away pain
From tn sick soul and the world-weary
brain,
SAUNDERS soft calm DER my heavy lids
creep;
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock me to sleep.
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with
gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old:
Let it drop DER my forehead tonight,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny edged shadows once more,
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions OF yore
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep;
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock me to sleep
Mother, dear Mother, the years have been
long
Since last listened to your lullaby songi
Sing then, and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhood's years have been only dream.
Clasped to your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my
Never hereafter to wake or to weep
Rock me to sleep, Mother-rock me to sleep.

Members of Congress have arrived in con.
siderable numbers, and members of the
Third House." the lobby, have also come
in tolerably large force. The principal fea
ture of the third house legislation. in which
large sums of money are invested, is the
prevention of the passage of an act of Con-
gress to reduce the tax on whisky. The
whisky distillers having reduced to a science
their plans for evading the tax, they fear any
legislation which shall disturb the system as
it exists under the present law.
The Hon. Thaddeus Stevens informed a
gentleman who called on him to- day that he
feels stronger at present than he has felt at
any time during the last five years. He also
stated that he is in receipt of letters from all
parts of the country indorsing the financial
views put forth in his recent letter.

At the end of three hours the giant gave in
by trumpeting, which is the elephant way of
crying enough. The moment this peculiar
cry was heard the battle ceased. The keep
er made Tippoo get up and lie down a num-

animal was then groomed and rubbed off
with whiskey. He allowed all manner of
liberties without so much as tapping an ear.
He was a suhjugated elephant. At one stage

A NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR CoTToN-New
Orleans journals contain advertisements of
a new substitute for cotton, called the Ramie
plant, a Mexican production, which yields a
fibre finer and whittier than grass cloth, worth
sixty cents pound in London. The New
Orleans Picayune speaks of it as a textile
plant which, being perennial, growing from
the roots from year to year, producing, after
being well rooted, from two to four crops of
$50 pounds of clear fibre per season, and
this, being vastly finer and stronger than
cotton or linen, sells at 60 to 65 cents per
pound in specie, and having none of the
vicissitudes of cotton, promises to become a
chief crop in our cultivation

The quiet and good order maintained by
the colored people at the election, is remark
able. There were not less than twelve hun
dred in this City on Tuesday last and not
one among this large throng behaved in any
respect improperly. We saw none intoxi-
Gated. We heard no brawling or swearing.
Good humor and a fixed determination to
vote the Republican ticket prevailed. There
was no intrusion on the rights of the white
man, but the two races exercised together
for the first time the right of suffrage in a
friendly and becoming manner. We have
no fears of what many call the experiment
of negro suffrage. We feel sure it will
nobly vindicate itself. 1t was necessary to
the nation, and indispensable to the proper
reconstruction of these recently insurgent
States.

FRIGHTFUL REVENUE FRAUDs.-In a re.
port which has been prepared by collector
of one of the largest revenue districts in the
country, and which will be presented to Mr.
johnson in few days, it is asserted that the
loss to the Government from the non collec-
tien of the tax for the last twelve months on
the article of whiskey alone has been upward
of 800, 100000, while the loss on tobacco is
set down at $25,000,00O. These losses are,
it is alleged in the report, to be attributed
to corruption and mismanagement on the
part of the collectors The document refer
red to suggests an entire remodelling of the
system, and a general dismissal of the present
incumbents, to insure a full collection of the
taxes and an effectual suppression of fraud
