STILL UARPING ON TIE OLD STRING
Scarcely had the U. S. Senate re-assembled
when one Terry offered resolution request
ing the President to transmit copy of his
late amnesty proclamation, with statement
of the authority by which it was issued. The
narrow minded, vindictive creatures who con-
troll Congress are exasperated to think that
this act of executive clemency has taken the
people of the South. to great extent, out OF
their power. They will Try hard to nullify
the proclamation.
Stewart, Bill Stewart, the admirable Sem
atoi Stewart, of Nevada, has introduced bill
to enable the people of Georgia to form a
State Government, Republican in form. The
bill provides for repeal of so much of the
Reconstruction Act as applies to Georgia,

provisional and it also provides for the reas-
sembling of the Constitutional Convention in
March next. Ii also provides that no one
shall be excluded from voting on the Consti-
tuition on account of race or color, and that
when the Constitution is ratified by voters it
shall be submitted to the consideration of
Congress. Still, you see, here she goes and
there she goes, reconstruction and re-recon-

THE WORKING OF THE CURsE.-No greater
curse can possibly befal country than to
have its government fall into the hands of
visionary fanatics. Such men illustrate the
truth of Shakspeare's saying:
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Without the slightest hesitation, they wipe
out the carefully considered legislation of
ages and substitute therefor their own crudi'
ties and vsgaries. The radical legislation of
the Rump Parliament in England and of the
French Convention, during the Revolution,
are standing monuments Of progress" in
folly. Monstrous, however, as we're the fol-
lies of those legislative bodies, the folly of
the Congress of the United States, since it
haa fallen into Radical hands, completely
eclipses them.
We had supposed that the lessons of his
tory teach nothing more clearly than the in
capacity of the negro for self government.
Contact with every civilization from that of
Egypt to that of America has utterly failed
to develop in that race any Of the elements
upon which q selfGaverning, African eivili-
cation could be built. Yet. despite the ex-
perience Of the past, the visionary fanatics
who control Congress have forced citizenship
and suffrage upon the negro race in eleven
Statee of the Union. And what is the result
Of this attempt to reverse the Jurisprudence,
not merely Of the nation, but Of nature? As
might be expected, lawless auarohy and
brute violence is the fruit of the experiment.
For moro than month past the negro militia
Of Arkansas have been robbing pillaging,
burning and numbering, in that State with
impuai,y. And, by the telegraphie report
in smother column, it will be seen that they
have commenced the same course in Georgia.
The working Of the curse has begun, but
where will it end Do the Radical, mock
philanthropists wish to have their pets de-
strcyed in war Of races? Ii seems so. For this
is the coming event foreshadowed by the use
the negroes in the South are making of their
new ledged authority. The real friends Of
the negro are those who recognize his pro-
per status in society and the laws of his ma
ture, and who are willing and ready to pro-
tect him in the enjoyment of his natural
rights. His worst enemies are those who
would force him out of his natural sphere
into that of the white man.

SMALL Pox.
People abroad, imagining US to be in a
chronic condition of alarm about the small pox
are greatly mistaken. We have forgotten
that it is among US. We turn up our noses
in contempt when it is mentioned and break
for the door at the sight of pustulated face.
Seventeen funerals day before yesterday pass
cd through the portals of Lone Mountain.
We do not inquire how many of those were
victims of the disease. We do not wish to.
We have become Mahommedans, Turks, Fa-
talists. If We are to have it, We shall have
it; if not, we shant. Those who recover will
lose their beauty. Most of the women prefer
death. blame them not. many of them have
nothing else to lose. When we would be
vaccinated, we read the respectable dailies."
Their columns are full Of small pox Elatter.
No two doctors think alike on the subject.

Lord help us and you grant us Happy
New Year and safe deliverance from the
Devil, the earthquake, the small pox, and

visit to our county. Speaking Of our resources,
he says:
The mountain regions of Tuolumne have
resources of wealth which can only be devel-

q market for the fruits, vegetables, timber

these can be transported to the valleys at

other products, or sold for cash.

PHILADELPHIA, June 13.
At the Curtin dinner last evening,
Count Bodisco, who responded to the
toast of Russia in few remarks, read
the following:
To Count Bodiseo, Charge D'A.fairs:
SIR-The sympathies of our august
Sovereign towards the American peo-
Pile and their destinies are too active
and too sincere to permit his Majesty
not once again to experience desire to
express them on the advent of General
Grant to the Presidency. By order OF
the Emperor you are instructed to be-
come the Interpreter ofthese sentiments
near the President. The services which
General Grant has rendered his coun-
try under such circumstances warrants
inquiries of the future and of the great
work to which he had the glory to con-
tribute in manner so efficient. This
work of pacifcation and of national
prosperity has not met with and will
not anywhere meet with more cordial
and more steadfast sympathy than In
Russia.
