DIsLoYAL.-1he Los Angeles News says,
the Radical papers, after spending four or five
years in proving to the people, that it was
the first duty of every man to be loyal, aud
that loyalty was an abject submission to the
will of the party in power. They have
changed their course and now cry Justify for
the rights of the people.-Under the admin
istraion of Mr.. Lincoln, it was considered
treason to say that all just governments rest
upon the consent ofthe governed, proposing
to mpeach the Chief Magistrate of the ma
ton; it suits their purpose to shed croc odile
tears over the abused rights of free people.

GLORIOUS DELAwAkE.-This gallant little
State, says the HilIsborough (Ohio) Democrat
has given Salisbury the Democratic candi.
date for Governor, an official majority Of
2,5lG and to Nicholson, Democratic candi'
date for Congress, l,468. The Legislature
is more than twodhirds democratic. 1t is
the more gratifying because it is said that
this State with Maryland and Kentucky, Will
prevent the adoption of the Abolition Com
stitutonal amendment That will be some
glory amid the general gloom.

A PUBLIC BENEFIr-Messrs. Smith &
Martin, whose advertisement appears in our
columns, have introduced feature that will
be Of general advantage to our citizens, and
that ought to have been introduced long
time ago. Mr.. Willis J. Smith, is young
Philadelphia; Mr.. William II. Martin has
spent many years in California. In addition
to their business as members Of the Board Of
Brokers, stock commission and real estate
business, they have opened, at Nos. 43O and
432 Walnut street, a California Exchange,
where all the California papers will be kept
on file, and where can be gained all desired
information concerning the mines, the min
ing companies and the mining teres's of the
Pacific coast, including Nevada, Colorado
and California, Arizona, Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, Washington and Mexico.
The firm will buy and sell for other par
ties stocks in the various mining companies
throug b this region, and invite the visits of
all who may be or propose to be interested
in them. Mr.. Martin is intimately versed
in the geology of the States in question,
is not only y a practical miner but an expert
enced geoogist. The reading rooms pro-
vided by the firm are free to all, and the
collection of newspapers from these remote
territories is the largest that can yet be found
anywhere to the eastwood. The establish
ment of this California Exchange is public
benefit, and will doubtless lead to the dis
semnaton of great deal concerning the
Pacific region, Of which we in the interior
know very little.
Messrs. Smith and Martin will shortly put
upon the market nearly a million of dollars
of the seven per cent gold interest bonds
Coupons payable in this city, of the Califor'
MIA and Oregon Railroad, $50 miles long,
running from Sacramento to Portland, Ore
gon. The company have grant of land Of
8,32o,ooo acres. This agency being brought
to Philadelphia is among the other benefits,
sccruing to the city from the establishment
of this California Exchange. This grant Of
land is nearly equivalent to twice the area
of the State of Massachusetts. The Califor
mia papers speak in the very highest terms
Of our Philadelphia enterprise in bringing
about better acquaintance between the
land of Penn and The golden soil beyond the
Rocky Mountains Philadelphia Gazette.

CoNNEcrIcUT DEMOCRATIC CoNvENTIoN.-
A New Haven dispatch of Jan. 9Th says:
The Connecticut Democratic Convention
adopted resolutions setting forth that Con.
gress had violated the Constitution, struck a
fatal blow at the financial and commercial
interests of the country in excluding the
Southern States advises that National Con-
venlion be held in New York on the 4th of
March to discuss the great questions of the
day, to protest against the revolutionary acts
of the majority in Congress, and announces
the determination of the conservative Union
men to resist by every constitutional power
the Discrimination and destruction of the
States. They also thank the President for the
repeated exercise of Executive power in be-
half Of the Constitution, and pledge him con-
tinued support. James Brooks of New York,
delivered speech of an hours length, in
which be charged Congress with endeavor
ing to remove the President and change the
complexion Of the Supreme Court. He held
that the negro was not entitled to and could
not be intrusted with governing power
Similar addresses were made by Eaton and
Seymour. They claimed congress had not
representatives able enough to attempt i'm
peachment, and charged Congress with at
tempting to subvert the government and to
secure to itself all national power.

There's Work En- ough to Do.

To see that all can write and read,

And much has to be done;
This wondrous earth. and all its pride,
Will vanish with the sun!
The moments fly on lightning wings.
And lic's uncertain, too.
We've none to waste on foolish things

Remarkable Discoveries in Minnesota.

A correspondent Of the Herald writes
from st Anthony Minnesota Dec. 3rd, that
Mr.. Reuben Nesmith while recently Dig
ging in bis cellar in that town discovered
an iron door, beneath which was spiral
staircase. lie and bis brother-in-law, Mr
Chamberlain, descended 1875 steps and found
themselves in narrow horizontal passage,
dug in the white sand which. as every one IA
miliar with the geological formation of the
banks of the upper Mississippi knows, ,underlies
a stratum of limestone. Proceeding along this
passage distance of about seventy five feet,
they emerged into spacious artificial cave,
also excavated 10 this white sand. The cave
was of an oblong form, and leading out of it
were several smaller ante-chambers, all of
which gave sigus of having been at some
former day occupied as repositories Of some
kind. Iron and copper implements, of
rough kind of workmanship. were found
scattered about, some of them evidently
having been used for excavatng purposes,
Others for cooking utensils the marks of
fire being observable on the latter. Ga en-
terng one of the small ante,cbambers a
number of rude seats were found, and upon
one side of the room an elevated platform,
upon which stood roughly hewn stone
something like the reading desk of an + pis-
copal church. On the wall behind the desk,
on either side of a colossal human figure, in
bas relief, very curious hieroglypbics were
found traced in the white sand, and an or.
namental tracery of peculiar design covered
the other three sides Of the chamber. In
the next apartment sort of stone sarcopha-
gus was found, upon the top of which was
laid an immense rock, firmly cemented to
the burial case, and which required the uni
ted exertions of four men to remove. This
being done, human skeleton was found un-
derneath, the bones of which crumbled to
powder Immediately upon exposure to the
air. Several copper and iron rings were
found In the sarcophagus, and also curious
silver ornament. octagonal in shape and
carved in uninteligible characters, some of
which corresponded with those on the wall
Of the apartment above referred to. A third
chamber was much larger in extent than
the others, and the ceiling was very much
like an inverted funnel in shape, directly un'
der the apex of which was a large cube
shaped stone, which was stained with marks
of fire and some other dark substance, and
a deposit of hardened ashes lay around it
upon the ground. 1t was evidently used as
a s4cramental altar, and this theory seemed
to be confirmed by the fact that an aperture
large enough to admit the body of a man
opens from this apartment into smaller
one, the floor of which is below that of the
other rooms, and which is covered with a
Shiny powder APPARENTLY the ashes of bones;
whether human or otherwise cannot be as
certained. The whole affair is mystery;
the relics found are not at all aboriginal in
character, and may have been the work of
people existing long before these prairies
were the hunting grounds of the Indian.

WoMEN's RIGurs.-The New York World
thus notices the change in the programme
by which it is expected females will win the
privilege of suffrage:
ln every county in the State clubs are
now forming, and the suffrage question is
discussed by young ladies who are just old
enough to vote or to get married. Love and
beauty are enlisted in the movement Mem
bers of the Legislature are to be attacked by
all the arguments of female attractions and
the most fascinating fashions. This onslaught
er will be overwhelming; the waterfalls will
indicate the tide of public opinion; and the
spread of equal rights sentiment will only be
surpassed by the spread of crinoine. When
old ladies with grown up children can get
$3.50 from the New York courts for alleged
seduction, these young ladies, who only ask
the privilege Of voting, will without doubt
receive speedy concession to their demands.
RAILROAD TRAvELLING.-Fromv various re-
cent decisions, says an Eastern axchange, up
on the subject of the rights of railroad trav
eers, it appears that the following rules Of
the road have been adopted by the Courts.
1t has been decided that applicants for tick
cts on railroads can be elected from the cars
if they do not offer the exact amount of
their fare; conductors are not bound to make
change. A II railroad tickets are good until
used-the condition good for this day only
being of no value. Passengers who lose their
tickets can be elected from the cars unless
they purchase others. Passengers are bound
to observe decorum in the cars and are
obliged to comply with all reasonable de
mands to show their tickets. Standing on
the platform, or otherwise violating the rules
of the company, renders person liable to
be put off the train. No person has right
to monopolize more seats than he has paid
for; and any article left on the seat while
the owner is temporarily absent entities him
to his seat on his return.
