There are many children that hear the

not expect to witness such an exhibition

poor children into our school that prom.

reasonably expect them to suffer little
children to come unto them, that they

NO NEWS.

We had expected that, before going
TO press, we should be able to give
some news relative to the elections
that occurred last Tuesday. But the
Fswires are down"-so we are told
between Yreka and. Sacramento, and
of course no news of any kind can be
transmitted until they are up again.
A great storm, it seems, has been rag
ing along the line for some days past /;
and we believe great political storm
has just passed over some of the
States, dashing the rotten hulk of Mon
grelism into fragments.

THE DIFFERENCE.


By the official report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, the rate oftaxa-
tion in great Britain, on the hundred
dollars, is ninety cents. The rate of
taxation by our General Government
alone is three dollars and ninety-three
cents on the hundred dollars; that is,
on every hundred dollars we pay more
than four times the rate of taxation in
England. Now add that to our coun-
ty, municipal and State taxes, and it
is plain to see that there was never
such a tax-ridden people as are the
American people.
According to some authorizes, Great
Britain owes a debt of about four
thousand millions of dollars. She has
subject to her sway thIrty-six millions
of people within the limits of the
British Isles and in India and her
colonies two hundred millions more,
making two hundred and thirty-six
millions that bow to her scepter. We
have thirty or thirty-one millions of
people-two hundred and FIVE millions
less than Great Britain; and according
to Thad. Stevens and Horace Greeley,
the federal government owes between
four and five thousand millions of dol
lars. IF to this is added tie debts of
the States, the counties, the towns,
and the villages, it will be seen that
we owe more than Great Britain, and
far more than any other equal number
of mankind.
The value of the property of Great
Britain, real and personal, within the
British Isles, is estimated at sixteen
thousand millions. This is not half
the value of the property of Great
Britain; but our people pay as tax
with which to carry on the General
Government, FIVE hundred and sixty
millions of dollars per annum. With
less than half the property Great
Britain possesses, we pay about twice
the amount of taxes in order to sup
port the General Government. +.

THE HERALD.-We shall show our
anxiety to avoid strife and dissension
in the Democratic ranks, by declining
to enter billingsgate discussion with
the editor of the Herald, He may de-
nounce us Us 9raving exclusively on
our own hook" and we care not.
He may claim to be the authorized
mouthpiece Of the Democracy, and we
simply join with ten thousand Demo
Gratis in the State, and laugh ut his
vanity.
He may talk f"scabs, and ssulcers, :
and we warn him, lest he pick a scah
on his own nose. The Democratic
members of the last Legislature have
not forgotten his efforts to elect J. w.
Nesmith TO the Senate, nor have they
forgotten how he denounced them fol
not yielding to his humiliating de.
mands. We shall continue to talk tc
the people in our own way, conceding
to him the same privilege. We fear
however, that he will refuse all advice
and like the old woman under water
keep on saying scissors, until past
speech, and arising from the waves
for the last time, cross his digitals in
imitation of that feminine instrument.

From Our own correspondent.

VIRGINIA. Cry, Montana, Oct. I, 1867
Editor State Rights Democrat:
| now undertake to do what l should
have done sooner, but press Of business
after tedious journey hindersd. 1 send
this, according to promise, for the DEMO
cRAT, intending to give items from this
distant land frequently for your readers ;
but this time only that my friends may
learn Of our sd fe arrival at our mountain
home. Ha
Nothing of any moment occurred on
the journey to Portland, at which place
we took steamer, and in ten hours wore
landed at the Dalles, minus quite purse
of gold as freight and passage. Weven-
ture the opinion that the ngrinding mo-
nopoly" of Columbia river steamers out
grind even the Willamette river steamers.
Those Mopopolies of your State appear
to be the greatest drawbacks Of any one
thing I noticed while in that country
They must keep back the enterprise Of
your farmers.
On our journey from the Dalles over
the Blue Mountains aud by way of the
Burnt river TO Boise river and city, our
expenses were enormous. From thence
through the unsettled country to Bannock
City, We had no travelling expenses, as
there were no ferries or bridges. Our
expenses in getting our stock through
amounted to fully half the purchase mon.
ey. Our conclusion, therefore, is, that
when stock can be brought through the
Indian country from the States, they can
no longer be brought proftably from Or.
egop. ] could have brought tho same
number Of animals from ST. Joseph OF
Omaha to this place for one hundred dol
lars-whereas paid about ono thousand
dollars from Oregon. However. if dro
vers coming to this country would wait
until they could cross tho Cascade Noun
tains and the rivers yet fordable, they
would save more than half the expenses
of the journey. aa
There is no danger from Indians or
the Boise road except on Burnt river
say about go miles. We stood guard
over our horses BY day and night unit
we passed the danger. Just before VI
and behind US dopredations were commit
tied, and d few persons killed, yet we saw

PROGRESS OF THE PACIFIC RAIL
wAY.-Dispatches from San Francisco
give encouraging accounts of the pro-
gress and prospects of the Western
end of the Great Pacific Railroad. 1t
will be remembered that Congress
granted to the two principal compan-
ies-the Union Pacific and the Central
Pacifc-the right to build their re-
spectiye lines from opposite ends until
they meet and connect. Phe former,
having nearly crossed the level plains
of Nebraska, is rapidly approaching
the outlying hills of the Rocky Noun
tain range; while the latter, it appears,
is making equally gratifying Readway.
During this month it is expected the
last and greatest of the tunnels on the
Western link will be opened, and the
crossing of the dreaded Sierra Nevada
Mountains be regularly made by the
locomotive, into the Great Salt Lake
Basin, This achievement of hewing
and blasting a pathway through prim-
.eval granite barriers, although all In
cluded within 100 miles, is equivalent
to more than 600 miles Of ordinary
railroad in cost and resistance over
come. Upwards of s2o,o0o,ooo have
been expended in the enterprise,
which includes, however, the equip
ment and material for $50 miles addi-
tional. Eastward of the graded por-
tion the line has been surveyed and
located for 600 miles, developing an
easy and favorable route, and it is be
lieyed that fully half of the distance
between the Pacific coast and the
Missouri river will be built by the
Central Pacific Company, as they are
favored by having their hardest work
done, and by the presence of a large
number of cheap and serFiceable Chi
nese laborers. tits assuring to be IN
formed, also, that the business Of the
road is very large, the earnings fol
Judy being SIZE. 900. in gold; while
the operating expenses were less thar

of the medicine consumed in this coun.
