in Nebraska on the 9th. As good many

that it had gone Democratic. The State has

Helena, Aug. 10Th, 1868.
The foregoing is an exact copy of a hand
bill placarded through the streets Of Helena
and the crossroads of Philip county, by the
Democratic party of that county! They pro
pose to our " cuored friends" not only the
choice of tables, at their white mans barbe
cue. but they go SO far to divide places
with them That is to say, alternate seats
50 as to have a negro between every two
whlte-men, and white man between every
two negroes, and each to eat promlscuously
out of the others plate.
We confess that, like the man who had his
apple cart emptied at the top of a hill, we
are unable to do justice to the case by any
comments it is possible fsr US to make. We
leave it, as Judge English does the s. test
oath" for every man to dicide for himself,
what onght to be said or thought of this new
phase of Democratic consistency

Gold Mine.

We have in our Office specimens OF
rock from the gold mine lately discov'
cred, in Nash county, North Carolina
upon the land Of our fellow citizen, Mr..
L. S. Sims. The specimens before US
seem to testify that all we have heard
of the richness of this mine is true. In
addition to these specimens, furnished
us by a friend, we hayc seen . letter
from Mr.. +. Avcnt, Of Hilliardston, n,
c., to Mr. Sims, in which the most en-
couraging account is given. Mr.. Avent
has operated extensively in gold mines
of California, we understand, and OF
course is competent to give q reliable
opinion. He says in his letter to MI
S: "Afler you left | made a small trial
of some Of the rock from the mine. the
neighbors wishing to see the result
Having no mortar We beat up some OF
it the best we could in Il pan, though
we could not more than half crush, but
found it very rich. A ton Of such rock
as we tried would pay several hundred
dollars. We had not seen a particle of
gold il the rock before crushing. There
is no doubt about the richness o! il. "
When We reflect upon the regular and
fearful increase Of gold shipments from
this country, brought about by our rot
ten system Of i%lnance, which must incv
itabIy soon end in bankruptcy unless
checked BY change of management
in our Federal councils when we re-
feet that the banks Of England and
France are overlooking with gold, and
yet We have comparatively none, this
discovery in the Old North State looms
up as something immensely important
| Say what you may, there is not much
room to fear that gold will ever become
so plentiful as to lose its present value.
Greenbacks may go like Confederate
money, and legislation to prevent such
depreciation be rs futile as that OF
France for a similar purpose, but gold
will never dcpreciate, and if capitalists
should operate this mine in question

but benefit the whole '1 cowassyX;,. 1t il
