WHAT CAssERLY WILL Do.-Eugene
Casserly, lately elected U. S. Senator from
California said in a speech to the Assembly
that elected him, that in the Senate be would
fearlessly defend the laws and Constitution
of the United States and the rights of the
people of the States "and particularly the
people of the those ten States in the South
now groaning under the most frightful and
ignoble, revolving bondage ever imposed up
on a free people," tie should never be
swerved from the task he had imposed upon
himself, by fear, favor or affection. He gave
his pledge to labor earnestly for the speedy,
immediate, unconditional release of the people
of the ten Southern States from the bondage
which he had already described, and the res.
toration, entirely and totally, of every con-
stitutional right of those States as members
of this Union," as fully in every respect, as
any other portion of the United States, with
out one jot or title of diminution or abate>
ment.

FAITH PLEDGED.--There is considerable

FAITH PLEDGED.--There is considerable
harping about the faith of the nation being
pledged to pay the debt in gold, which is
simply the humbuggery of bondhOlders.
Why do not the moDgrels, who twaddle SO
elaborately in this strain, tell the people
about the faith Of the nation in matters which
more nearly concern them The radicals
pledged the faith of the government that the
Southern States should be restored to the
ULion with all their rights unimpaired. Yet
the pledge has not been made goodi! They
are pledged to see that each State has re-
publican form of government, but there are
ten States which have nothing resembling
governments republican in form. They
pledged TO restore the Union and preserve
the Constitution; yet the Union is not res
stored and the Constitution has been viola
ted and is considered of no binding force by
the leading 1oyalists' of the nation They
have violated all pledges which are dear to
to the people, and propose to keep faith on
ly with the bondholders and negroes. The
democracy are pledged to reverse this order
of things next year and restore the Union

respectively, require radical disuniOnistS to

Com OR ITS EQUIvALEST.-We made mention
some time ago that there was bill introduced
10 the Senate, providing that the national debt
be paid in coin or its equivalent. 1t appears
that this bill called out great amount of hon.
est indignation from the people, who looked ups
on its introduction in the Senate as the foIerun-
ner of an attempt to swindle them out of a vast
sum of money. The N. Y. WorId-a supposed
organ of the bond Misunderstanding the bill so
immensely unpopular with the people, began to
censure Senator Edmunds for introducing it, and
in the course ofG long article, which holsters
up the "national blessing" it acknowledges
that "it (the billy is measure which will con-
tribute to nobody's interest but that of the pres
ent bond-holders, and of spectators who can
buy them up in expectation of its passage. But
the bond-holders already enjoy so many unfair
advantages that the people will be incensed if a
bill is passed to put still more mouey in their
pockets" Alb, yes that's just what we thought
about it when the thieving proposition was first
announced in the telegraphc news. Of course
the people would be incensed to such a degree
that they would be in fit mood to pitch the
Irrational blessing" bondholders and all neck
and heels overboard at once. The bill in al
PROBABILITY will not become a law

RADICAL REvENGE.-The Journal of Commerce
tells Cf a class of radicals who are gloatng over
the subversion of the Southern States to negro
domination. 1t says by them, the South is ha-
ted ferociously. Sitting at their cosy breakfast
in the North, they read the news from Georgia
with grim delight. 1t sweetens their coffee to
know that in Savannah only Que white man vo-
ted in La Grange out of 500 votes, but one was
cast by white; in Americas, every voter was a
negro. Throughout the State the white vote
numbered less than a thousand, we should say,
judging from the returns already in. The humil-
iation, the downheartedness of the Georgia
whites appears to be complete. They have
reached that last, that saddest stage in misfor-
tune, when a man sits down in despair, and will
not lift finger to save himself. Such specta.
Gle would extort pang of pity from most men
even though il was their bitterest enemy who
was thus prostrated in the dust before them, but
causes the ultra radicals to thrill with joy. Now
the triumph for which they have looked and
louged is complete. The Southern whites hum
bly, crouch before the negro and accept the yoke
Of course there are other raptures in store; the
prospect of con6scatng all the estates belong
ing to the Southern whites, parceling them out
among the blacks, and finally of expelling the
wretched whites from the land of their birth
and converting the fair South into a Hayti-to
these pleasant things the radical leaders still
look forward, but their fruition will not confer
upon them 8 deeper delight than that which
they derive from the Georgia election. It is
the first delicious draught from the cup of heir
vengeance.

Tha storm I'm CaIifornIa.

The Alta of the 27th has the following: Re-
ports from the Sacramento Valley indicate that
a destructive food, equal in extent to that of
ls6i-7, Is now desolattng the country. Thus
far the levees of Sacramento have defended the
city against inundatlon, and the worst of the
freshet is probably past, but the region back of
the capital, and the great level tract on the op-
posite side of the river must have been COM
pletely flooded. Travel on the railroad is sus-
handed, bridges are carried away, and all ways
of communication are cut off. The low land
around Marysville is under water and the levee
which was built along the line of the slough that
puts into Feather river has broken away, SO that
the lower part of the city is flooded; it is NOR
ally impossible that the business part of the place
can be under water, as has been represented.
This repetition of the foods of other years will
have a dscouraging effect upon the farmers of
the region where it has happened, aud the spec>
tacle of miles of water flowing where fourishing
farms have been, is disheartening prospect to
sny one. Unless the accounts are exaggerated,
we may expect that the agricultural interests
will suffer very much from this overflow.
The Bulletin says, probably thousands of
square miles of bottom land along the Sacra>
mento and San Joaquin rivers and their largest
continents are under water, and will remain so
for q considerable time. The sudden rise of the
mountain streams, amounting in many instances
to from 10 to rs feet in a single day, must have
destroyed many bridges and fumes, carried away
dams, broken bitches, and filed up mining
claims. The elements of air and water work on
grand scale in the Sierra Nevada when under
the fullest headway. Here is a mountain range
soma seven hundred miles lonG- which attains
an elevation in a width Of from 300 to lOO miles
of 5000 to $4,000 feet, and is cut into immune
rable gorges at right angles to its trend. During
one of our heaviest December storms from 20 to
80 inches of rain is precpitated upon the great
water shed, drained into all its gorges, and pour
ed at last into two principal valley channels of
rather narrow and shallow dimensions. The
food that follows is simply inevitable. This
year there is reason to believe it has been less
disastrous than on some previous occasions,

CONSERVATIVE DEMocRATs.-An exchange says
of this sort of democrats:
tThere is a class of old, effete, broken>down
political CONSERVATIVES and still worse, set
of milk k.and>water, namby y-pamby, pinchbeck
politicians among us, whose sole idea Of party
success consists in getting just as close as possi
to their opponents, and then to trust to getting
over to their side a certain conservative ele-
ment,' which may get frightened at the radical
extremists, and cast its vote for the democratic
party These two classes, this old effete, and
worn ont conservative element, and this pinch
beck democracy, have ruled the party for seven
years past, and led it to defeat and worse still,
to dishonor and disgrace. 10 the last election,
they fancied, by ignoring all the terrible issues
pressing on the country, and adapting the party
to the caprices of the conservative republicans,
they wodld do wonders, and they did, with the
aid of Raymond and Weed, aud the Phila6el-
phia Convention; they were about the worst
beaten crowd that has been seen for the past
twenty years. There is no such animal as q
Conservative democrat, never can be, and as
regards the conservative republicans they are
the most dishonest, corrupting, insidious and
dangerous of all the enemies of the democracy.
The position and duty ofthe democracy is so plain
that a man NAV run and read it, and though
fool, understand it. II is the Constitution and
the Union 'as it was,' as it must be, as it only
can be, Union of co,equal States on the white
basis, and just as fast as we show the people
the boundless and fathomless evils wrapped up
in Mongrelism, or the attempt to include the
negro element in our political society, will they
reject the lunetic, traitorous and corrupt party
that has so nearly ruined the country.

A DRUNK REPUBLICAN-Under the above head
ing the Oregonian tells the following story on
one of the members of the "party of great moral

is about as sane and brilliant as that other great
idea-entertained by radicals in general-Of CIV
ing liberty to the blacks, and endeavoring to
make them universally" equal to the whites in
all respects:
During the evening of New Years, an individ-
ual in advanced stage of jolarity, stopped in
front of restaurant where were suspended in a
cage a dozen or so of quaiis. He had been taxi
ing a swing round the blocks, got confused and
didn't seem to comprehend at once what the ex-
hibition before him signifed. Being of an in>
quiring turn of mind, Jollifier asked Of the Res>
tauranter "Wots yer call 'er-them ~ Restau-
ranter very kindly and politely replied "Those,
my dear sir, are quails." "Kales, eb, says Jol-
lifer, "calls em kales does yerP' Got 'em
shet up, too watts yer got EN- shut up forT
Restauranter replied, "To SELL" Jollifer struck
an attitude while burning indignation shone
from the end of his noze. "Got 'em shet up for
sell, Ell? Well, I'm er rpublican-b'lieve' n
universal liberty" And at that, the believer in
universal liverty, seized the cage, tore off the
Stats and released every bird in it, and while the
excited Restauranter was flying around in the
difficult business of recapturing his emancipeted
property, the Joilifer went his way with 4" 'ror

rier-the Cascade mountains. We suppose

vened in this or any other Territory, will
