GEN. BUTLER has offered to guar
antee the payment of one million dol
lars per week to the United States
Treasury if he-can be permitted to
collect at his own expense the tax of
two dollars per gallon on distilled
spirits. We have no doubt the Gen
eral would make money"in the opera
ton, at least for some days. The ex-
tent Of the whisky frauds by the con
nivanee or carelessness Of ANDY

shameful, and ought not tC be toIer-

they have no difficulty IN getting
their whisky released after it is seized
by the revenue officers, and the facts
justify the boasting.

of Dakotah west of Nebraska and
south of Montana into 2 new Terri

+ The Courier, the other day, an
noanoed that Brick PoMERoY was
very sick, intimating that he might
be nigh unto death. IF lost spirits
have cognizance of earthly affairs.
there m ust be what is termed SEN
sation in the Plutonian region
over the prospect of such an addi-
/ ton to It's inhabitants. PoMERoYis one
of the most vulgar and blasphemous
wretches in this country. He knows
nothing. or cares little about the
feelings of. those he dislikes, and his
ribaldry and buffoonery have long
been disgrace to American journal
ism. Last words are usually
treasured by the admirers of notori-
ETY., and we copy some of the latest
utterances of PoMERoY for the benefit
of his numerous admirers in this part
of the country.
Ia one Of his recent political dis
sertations, speaking of the evident
purpose of the Republicans to admit
the Southern States so as to vote in
the Presidential canvass, either for
that brainless butcher GRANT, or
the fanatic CHASE" he delivers him
self of this exhortation:
We tell you. Radicals and traitors,
your tool shall never enter the Presi-
dental Mansion, elected by negro
votes. IF this DE treason, make the
most of it. But bear in .mind that
it is treason held by two millions of
white men, Dho are ready ~ right for
aobite Supremacy God help you. if
the struggle comes; for spite of the
Rump, your niger, and all tie re-
nea5ning .PoOoers of hell at your com,
n1aad, white will win, and there will
be such an ODtp0aTiAg Of Niger blond,
such a hanging Of Radicals to sour
cYpte trees, as was never known since
the world emerged from chaos
In this connection a hint, Demo
Gratis. In 1868 clubs will be formed
in every town and city of the coun-
try. Let these clubs be composed of
D1ef as ready to right as to Uofe! Let
them be drilled In the manual of
arms-be as couversant with the sci.
ence Of military tactics as with Dem
ocratic principles. They may not be
required to display that knowledge,
5M # Rigqer or Radical killing should
be III order, they will be as ready for
that business as to listen to the inau-
gural of Democratic President on
the 4th day of March, 1862"
It is not surprising that he was
taken dangerously sick after suchla
display of impotentrags.. .

A COMMUNICATION from Mr.. S. NJ
HOLcoMB will appear on Monday.

TIE London Telegraph thinks that
if Gen. GRANT were made President,
he would probably look at the
facts in regard to all questions
brought before him, and restrain his
action within the limits Of his Iegiti-
mate authority; and it describes him
as man who respects both equity
and law. who never departs from solid
ground, and who is probably one OF
the least prejudiced persons through
out the length and breadth Of the
Union. The Telegraph has got at
the American idea OF the case, ex-

ness OF ordinary Anthracite, which it
very much resembles, ranking next to

been discovered about twenty miles

10000 square miles of Ignite in the
center of region within radius OF

every direction, entirely destitute Of

these Ignite basins will, at no distant
day, hold the same relation to the de-
velopment of the great West that the
coal fields of Pennsylvania DO at the
present day TO the East.

Mixture OF Races in California.

The. intermixturer of races in Cali

Chicago Tribune, is beyond all prece-
dent In the history Of mankind. and
what the third or fourth generation

viii speak, are questions to puzzle the
scientific inquirer. There are mar
riages between Yankees and Digger
Indians, Irish and Chinese, Mexican
and Malay, Portuguese and Sandwich
Islanders, English Canadian and ne
gro, French and Apache, to say moth
ing of the more common intermar-
riages TO be seen in all parts of Amer
lea. The way the English language
must suffer in the mouths of the de-
scendants of these oddly coupled
people will be terrible. Even now,
the most familiar terms Of Spanish

lisl{, so that they can never be de-
