ESS IFE OF JAMAICA GINGER

This valuable preparation containing in a
highly concentrated form all the properties
of the Jamaica Ginger, has become one of the
most popular domestic remedies for all dis
eases of the stomach and digestive organs.
AS a tonic it will be found invaluable to
all persons recovering from debility whether
produced by fever or otherwise, for whilst
it imparts to the system all the glow and
vigor that can be produced by wine or bran
dy, it is entirely free from the reactionary eff
fects that follow the use Of spirits of any kind.
1t is also an excellent remedy for females
who suffer from difficult menstruation. giving
almost immediate relief to the spasms that so
frequently accompany that period.
1t gives immediate relief to Nausea caused
by riding in railroad car, Or by sea-sickness
or other causes.
1t is also valuable as an external applica-
tion for Gout, Rheumatism. Neuralgia, etc.

CoNG REssIoSAL RECONSTRUCTION SUSTAIN
ED.-In the case of the State of Georgia
against Grant, Stanton and Pope, praying
that they be restrained from carrying into
effect certain provisions of the Reconstruc-
ton Act, the Supreme Court of the United
States has decided that it has no jurisdiction
the question being of political rather than
of q legal character. The same decision
also applies to similar petitions from Alabama
and other States. This blasts the last, fond
hope of the rebels that the Court would de-
clare the Reconstruction Act unconstitu-
tional.

SATURDAY, 80: FEBRUARY 15, 1868.

WASHINGTON BIRTHDAY BALL.-On Fri
day evening next, February 2lst, a grand
ball will be given at Leger's Hall, for the
benefit of the public school in this place.
The party, which is to be held under the
auspices of the order of E Clampsus Vitus'
promises to be more numerously attended
than any given in Mokelumne Hill for years.
and will undoubtedly result in the reaiiza-
ton of a large amount for the institution
which II ia designed to benefit. The pro-
motion of the cause of education ana the
opening up of the avenues which iead 10 IT,
are certainly objects which should receive the
earnest attention and wann support of all.
EJucation is the main pillar upon which our
free institutions are based-the foundation Of
The fabric bequeathed us by our fathers-the
arent courier of progress, enlightenment
and reform, and every one should use his
best endeavors to place it within the reach
Of all who wish to obtain it. The object for
which the ball is given is to raise funds suf-
icent to keep the public school open during
the vacation which the exhaustion of the
public money will otherwise necessitate. We
are glad to note that our citizens generally
are exhibiting lively interest in the matter,
and are seconding the efforts of the Order
an its noble purpose, by every means in theil
power. AS an additional attraction, the
management has secured the services of the
most popular ballroom performers in this
section of the State, Messrs. Church, Jone:
& Kay, whose names are a synonym fol
superlative music. The hall will be hand
somely decorated, arrangements have been
completed for an elegant supper and meas
ures will be taken to preserve the most per-
feet order and dacorum. We assure those
ladies and gentlemen who may desire to at
tend from abroad that every attention viii b
paid to secure their comfort and convenience
and confidently promise them the best tint
they ever had. Tickets have been placed a
the exceedingly low rate of two and hal
each. Leger's Hall will groan beneath it
weight of beauty and fashion on Frida
evening next.

BY =. L.

Throughout the day my conrad he,
Yet not word he spoke to me;
No thought expressed, no sign he made,
But speechless as the earth we trod.
Along my path, he careless strayed
Ger gravel rough and velvet sod,
Yet did his presence serve to cheer
My heart and fill my soul with Joy.
l thought that while one friend was near
That grief could ne'er my spirits cloy
But eve came on and solemn night,
Her sable mantle spread,
When he, my friend, in sunshine bright
Most basely turned and fed.

M1.nSG AT THE BUcKEYE.-Markwood &
Co., proprietors of the old "Gopher" claim,
are doing exceedingly we'll. The company
have laid an iron pipe from the fume to
feet, by which means they convey the water
and obtain fall of some one hundred and
fifty feet. The claim is about sixty feet deep,
the gravel containing gold from the bottom
to the top. The method of working adopted
is to "drift out during the Summer when
water is scarce and the bank dry and hard,
which greatly facilitates the hydraulicing
operations IN the Winter. The Gopher claim
has been worked for the past twelve years,
but never more successfully than at present.
1t has furnished its former owners with snug
little fortunes, and may it treat its present
proprietors no less generously.
Mr.. Peters, whose claim is located in the
the same district, is also taking out some
rich gravel from his tunnel in Red Hill.
Mining interests in that vicinity are in a
more prosperous condition. at present, than
they have been before for years.
CAT CANP.-Times are lively at Cat Camp
and vicinity. The mining region is proving
to be much more extensive and richer than
was at first supposed. We are informed by
Mr.. Prindle, the Water company's Superin-
tendent, that double the quantity of water
which can be furnished to the miners in that
locality-about five hundred inches-could
be sold. Claims are paying all the way
from 81 to 500 per day, to the hand. Peo-
pie are focking in from all directions, and
that entire region of country is being taken
up for mining purposes. Before the expira-
ton of the present year, the Water Company
will undoubtedly increase their facilities for
furnishing that section with the amount of
water required.

made heavy, staggering lunges at him with
an apparent intention Of securing his head
in "chan"ery." The rapidity with which
the blows from the whip fell upon his face,
however. together with the load of lager he
had aboard, frustrated his friendly designs.

| ital of Japan, hereafter TO be called
Tonkie, or the Eastern capital. The
port of Ycddo was to be opened to for
cigneIs October lst, and tie Governor
of Yokohama had requested all foreign
representatives to be transferred to
Yeddo. 1t was believed that this change
would give general satisfaction.
Intelligence from Nagasaki represents
that the town of Neegata had been
bombaIded by steamers from Salsuma
and Chaisu, aud the place totally de-
stroycd.
Van Brandt, the Prussian Charge
d'Ahairs had grossly insulted the ia
panese Minister of Foreign Affairs while
returning from the Government house.
The Minister had protested against the
outrage and demanded complete repa-
ration.
No military evrnts of importance had
transpired since our last advlces,
though considerable fighting was re-
ported, the advantage resting with the
Northern army.

tries Bay, August 22d, killing George
c. Herman, LIST assistant, and Bernard,

der the influence of liquor. The officers
of the Mikado attempted to arrest them,
which resulted in scui1le, pistols being
fired. The offenders escaped.

WASHINGTON, October 81. - Brevet
Major General Reynolds, commanding
the 5th Military District, has issued an
order directing an election to be held
in the counties of Falls, Belle and Nc
Clennan, Texas, on the 9th, 10th aud
18th of November next, for one delegate
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of w. Z. Cakes, to represent said ceun-
ties in the Constitutional Convention
called under the act of March 23d,
1867. General Reynolds has also issued
an order containing instructions to the
Board of Registrars, appointed to con-
duct the revision of registration, i'll
which he directs all persons who ever
held Office under Federal or any State
Government, and afterwards engaged
in rebellion or gave aid aud comfort
to the enemies of the United States,
shall be excluded from registration. He
further says, no amnesty or parcon en-
titles the applicant to register, and al
so that no one who has held an office
or position of profit or honor under the
Confederate States, or either OF the
States in rebellion, are entitled to reg
istration. He says, however, that the
removal of disability, by Congress, en-
titles the applicants to register unless
DISTINGUISHED for crime. Bribery, per-
Jury, false swearing, snbornation OF
perjury, offering bride, and accept
| ing bride are the list OF crimes LOT
which persons are distranchisea.
