letter from "TuitIctOWn.

Mr. EplroR-We feel deep interest in the
welfare of Old Tuolumne, and very much
dislike to say anything calculated to dampen
her future prosperity. But, it is no use
talking, her star of hope is to be eclipsed for
a little while 10y the newly discovered planet
which has fixed itself in the neighborhood of
White Pine, and whose unusual briiliancy
is beginning to attract the attention of the
world. The lustre of that star must pale be-
fore eur mines can hope to attract the means
necessary to their development. Its destiny,
however. is marked. 1t will shine but for a
season and pass to the tomb ofits predeces-
sors, amidst the curses and imprecations of
its disappointed followers. How many there
are whose dreams of fortune at White Pine
this coming Spring will result in disappoint-
ment and death and, by those results, how
many fond wives and affectionate children
will be thrown upon the charity of cold and
selfish world for support. 1t is a serious
subject to contemplate, and should be well
considered ty husbands and fathers before
thew Weld to the allurements OF the tickle
goddess. Better let we'll enough al>ne than
take the chances of bettering our condition
where the odds are so much against US. We
sorrow at the thought of the many homes
which are now comparatively happy, being
made desolate by the coming stampede. In
conclusion, we would say reflect we'll on
the step you are about to take; and remem-
her that YOU are risking the happiness of
home, wife apd children on single hazard
of the die--if you lose, grief and grim des-
pair will be your companions unto death.
Amen. Yours in grief. TuTrLETowN.
p. S.-We think the magnitude of the
anticipated stampede might be curtailed if the
married ladies of this county would put their
little "footsn down on their husbands going
to White Pine. They have no sick uncles up
that way requiring their immediate attention;
and if they had, it would not be well to let
them go. We learn there is a large supply
of the regular old taugle-leg whisky IN that
region. The royal Begal Tiger roams the
streets at large, seeking whom he may de-
vour and devouring all who happen TO come
in his way. So in view of the above facts,
we would advise the ladies to make their dear
"duckissn stay at home. Jan. 3, 1869.

SPECULATIVE LoYALrY.-An exchange says
Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, has bought
n fertile island of 9, 900 acres, near Fernan-
dina, Florida Such real estate transactions
as this furnish powerful incentive to shod-
dy patriots to prolong anarchy and misrule in
tho South Had good faith, with that sec
ton, been observed and the several Southern
States been restored to their normal status in
the Union, at the close Of the war, property
would have been more valuable. Loyal
men,, who made fortunes by specuatins on
the necessities oil the country during the war.
in that event. would not now be able to buy
magnificent plantations for a song. 1t makes
no difference 10 Senator Sprague, ar aoy of
his class. what ouorous burdens are laid on
the people, il they eau succeed in waxing
rich At their expense.

A WARNING TO BoYs.-Last Sunday, VIM.
Slattery, son of Mrs. Slattery of Browns
Flat procured snail quantity ofpowder in a
flask from C. Pe,sigrew, storekeeper of that
place. He then got another can, full, cf
powder and buried the explosive material,
putting two stones on top. In touching it off,
his sagezine exploded premeturey and in-
jured him seriously. His face is badly pow
der burnt and for time it was thought he
would loose his sight. Boys should not be
allowed to handle gunpowder before they are
old enough to understand its nature.

lifted the iron safe into the middle of the

The Alleged New Yora Election Fraud.


If the Devil were to come amongst Us,
dressed in canonical robes, and commence
crusade against all manner OF sin and wicS-
edness, it would doubtless, s'astonish the ma
tises" considerably. Yet his Satanic maJes-
ty, in such role, would be scarcely more
wonderful than the Radical members OF Con
gress are in their new role as punishers OF
election frauds. Who would have thought
such change of heart could have been ef-
fected. 1t is certainly wonderful, but none
the less true. The, purity of the ballot-box
is going to be -vindica,ed; the perpetrators
of election frauds are going to be punished
Selah
But, where are our virtuous reformers 60
ing to begin? Will they 90 back four years
and punish the ''loyal' miscreants who
broke open and eonfscated eleven boxes of
soldiers votes at Baltimore in 1864. Those
votes were en- route from the New York SOL
diers in the Army of Virginia, to the State
of New York. The greater part of them were
cast for Gen. Mcclellan, and the necessities
of ''loyaltyn demanded their seizure. Will
they hunt up the survivors of that Massaehu-
setts regiment which voted ten or eleven
times in Indiana at the Presidential election
of 1864. We fear not. Indeed it would
hardly be reasonable to expect them to go SO
far back. Let us be costent to see begin
ming made with the election Of last FAN. Will
they begin with the Radical Secretary of
State of Missouri, and punish him for his
highhanded proceedings? Will they insti-
tute proceedings against the Radicals m In
diana and Pennsylvania who managedto Sc
cure the election of Julian and Oovode by
gross fraud in throwing out Democratic
votes? Oh no. The Congressional plan is
TO raise hue and cry about Democratic
frauds as cloak to screen the perpetration
of the grossest ouraGes on the right OF suf-
frage. A subcommittee of Congress sits in
New York and plays the Joe. Holt game.
On the evidence of suborned thieves. counter
feiters and burglars they pretend to be able
to prove that thirty thousand fraudulent Dem
ocratic votes were polled. Three or four OF
those Congressional witnesses were arrested
by Sheriff o Brien, while being examined by
the Congressional Committee, who charges
Marshal Murray of bringing thieves to swear
away the lives of respectable men OF
course liberal supply of Congressional
greenbacks will procure any number Of that
class of witnesses to swear that they voted
"from nine to thirty times" The Radicals
are playing desperate game to obtain con-
troll of the powerful State Of New York, but
we think they will fail as signally as they
did in trying to impeaeh President johnson.
We are no apologist for fraudulent voting,
but we think that i. would he well for the
Radicals to pull the beam out of their own
eye before trying to pull an imaginary mote
| out of their brothers.
