White Pine.

We find recently in eur exchanges, num-
bers of letters from White Pine, many of
which speak in terms not very hattering for
the chances of persons with small means So
ing there to seek fortune. 1t appears that
Treasure City and the surrounding country
for miles, has been in the hands Of specula-
tors for some months pass. who have used aud
still are using all their efforts to induce large
numbers to flock there this spring. with the
object of making specuIating sales of mining
claims, and speculating oif of the necessities
of the new corners. Undoubtedly they have
some rich mines, but from all accounts are
limited TO a small number. White Pine will
not prove an exception to the many former
discoveries that have caused great excite
meuts. To-day large numbers are leaving
there to prospect in distant localities. as all
the ground is covered with claims, aid in
many cases several claims to the same ground
With the number already there, and those
who will go from this coast and the east it is
reasonable to suppose that the great mass will
fail entirely in their bright anticipations of
immediately realizing fortune. If work
can be had, thousands will be compelled to
labor for wages barely sufficient to enable
them to live. There has been a large amount
of suffering and sickness during the winter,
and thousands would now leave this great
means to get away from it. We take the fol-
lowing from the Gold Hill Ne,cS, of the first
of this month for the benefit of such of our
readers as desire to so to White Pine:
A friend of ours. recently from White Pine,
says it is the greatest foOliShness in the world
for Treasure City folks to say that they only
have two or three inches Of snow up there
lie says two or three feet would be nearer the
truth, and he saw plenty of it deeper than
that. In fact, it is two three feet deep all
over the district, and no spots of bare ground
are to be seen, except in a few particularly
exposed localities and points where the bleak
sweeping winds will not allow a fake of snow
to rest. The excitement here and in San Fran
cisco is for White Pine, hut at White Pine
the Excitement is for localities beyond. All
the talk was Patterson District, situated near
ly 100 miles southeast of Treasure City. He
seemed to think that White Pine was already
getting too stale, and new excitements were
the natural result. He saw considerable rich
ore in several of the mines, but he thought all
yet discovered could be work ed cut inside of six
months, If desired. lie thought property was
as high there now as it ever would be, and if
anything on the decline already The Peo-
pie established in business there were coming
money, but he does not think it would paw
any one here to break up business now fer
the purpose OF moving to White Pine.

Scene in COurf.

John Scully was recently brought up on a
charge of assault and battery on a party BY
the name Of Patrick Doran, who alleged thai
on a certain day, while he-Doran-was al
the house Of Scully in l22d street. near FIRST
avenue, his host struck him on the head with
IA tumbler, having previously swallowed the
contents: that the blow not only cut the skin
and flesh of his skull, but knocked him sense
less on the floor and that while he was thu,
lying he, (Scully,) kicked him in the sides
and on the face, cutting and bruising him
(the deponent) in the body and face.

THE HOUSEHOLD ANGEL

She grows older year by year.

And yo, shall see the white thread stealing;
And though the brew is smooth and fair,

So soft her step - sweet her voice!
80 iranght her dali, life with loving;
Her very smile makes all rejoice,
And iion its spell there is no rowing.
The little children round her cling:
She tells them IA nv tales at even
And with them Of she loves to sing
Sweet hymns that breathe Of Christ and Heaven.
She listens to the cid mans tale

When life for him wore Pleasures veil
Aud youth WAS garlandrd with flowers.
No hand can raise the sick ones head
OR cool the burning flush Of fever
Like her'S-&nd not an angels tread
Could come 50 lightly, firing never.
She has helpful word for all
She wins the recTeant backNvith kindness
She stoops TO lit who stumbling fdl
And. plying, never mocks their blindness
To her we go when sorrows come
She soothes the hour OF bitter weeping;
Her still, sweet face umes the home.
Though death within his watch is keeping.
So gently goes she Ger life's way
Perhaps her feet are 1 rn and bleeding;
Intent to aid another's way,
The thorns III hers She treads unheeding.
So gently she goes DER life's way
We never hear a word complaining.
Like some sweet bird at early day,
Her wing to Heaven is ever strlining.
Perchance that tuneful harp of hers
Nj v nave some string forever broken;
Some chord that Yet in memory jars,
And echoes sorrows never spoken.
We know not-only this we know,
She's dearer far than any other,
To part with her were crushing woe,
For in our home we call her mother"

Representative Reforms.

Senator Bucklew, March 9d, made report
from the Select Committee on Representative
Reform. TIE bill referred 10 them and now
reported proposes to secure fair aud complies
representation TO every Important political in-
tereSt in the country to stri&e an etfectu1l
blow at the corruptious in popular elections;
10 secure more harmony and conteGtmeut thar
now exists among the people, and to improve
the composition of the popular branch of Con-
gress by facilitating the Introduction and con-
tinaance of men of ability and merit in that
body. The plan is as fellows: Representa-
,iveS being assigned to a State under the cou-
sttutiona law Of distribution, each elector in
the State shall have as manv votesas there
are representatives to be chosen. He shall
possess his due and equal share Of electoral
power as member OF the political body or
State. Ii is next proposed that the eiector
shall exercise this right Of suffra ~ according
TO his own Judgment and discretion. aud with
cut compulsion of law. lie shall bestow or
distribute his votes upon or among candidates
with entire freedom, ard shall be relieved
from the legal constraiuts to which he has
been heretofore subjected. He may select his
candidate or candidates anywhere within the
limits of his State from all its qualified ci,i
zenS, and he may exert his political power
upon the general representation Of his State,
instead OF tno representation OF particular
district within it. Here is unquestionably
large and valuable extension of privilege to the
citizen less of inconvenient and od,ous re-
straint, and more complete application OF
that principle of self-government upon which
our political institutions are founded. And
what is material for consideration is, that
while all the advantages of plan Of election
by general ticket are secured, all its incon-
yencnce and evils are avoided.
The Committee have examined this subject
at length, arguing that the uurestrained vote
is in strict conformity with Democratic prin-
ciples, and realizes more perfectly our idea ot'
popular government, for by it the whole mass
of electors are brought into direct relations
with this government, and particularly with
that department or branch of government, the
principal one in power, ifnot in dignity, which
makes the laws. All participate really in
choosing representatives, and all will be rep
resented in fact. Now the beaten body Of
electors choose nothing, unless it be morti6ca-
ton, and are not represented at all. The Com
mittee conclude by saying: 1.-The argument
for reform may be summed MP in a few words.
BY 1t we will obtain cheap elections, just rep
resentation, and contentment among the peo-
| pie. BY it we will also secure able men in
the peoples House. By it our political sys-
tenn will be invgorated and purified. BY it
our country will take n bond of the future
that our government shall be blessing in
stead of curse; that prosperity shall be
enduring; that our free institutions shall not
perish from the face OF the earth"

CHANGED Her MIND.-Dickey was poor;
Katy had rich mother. Xaty's mother was
down on the measure, and Dckey was forbid
the premises. Notes were exchanged through
a knot hole in the high board fence which in
clused the yard. One day the old lady ven-
| tured out calling, and Dickey being duly in
formed of the fact, called upon KATY, but re-
mained to long. The old lady returned sud
denly, and there being no chance for him to
escape, at the instance of Katy, Dickey pop
pee into a closet The old lady saw that Ka-
ty was confused, and guessed that Dickey had
been about; she supposed, of course, that he
had made good his escape, and thinking that
the young couple had agreed perhaps to elore.
together determined to be too sninrt forthem:
so sue shut Katy up in the same closet where
Dckey was concealed. and giving her pair
of blankets and pillow, locked her UP for
the night. She didn't see Dicl.ey.
The next morning she went to the cfoset'to
let Katy out.
"Oh, Lord I" she screamed, and could hard
ly get her breath for moment. Finally:
"Ahem. Dickey, is that you?"
Eyes, ma am"
"Dickey. you must stay to breakfast.n
"Cnuldn't ma'am."
"Oh, but yol must"
Dickey concluded to stay.
At the breakfast table the old lady spoke
up and said

great deal lately"

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-05-12

THE New York World of the Sth
contains vigorous article against
the tyranny of party organizations
in this country, and appeals to
leading men of character and in
fiuence in both parties to. assert and
maintain an independence of this
thralddm, and crush out the system.
1t is true, indeed, that there is no
place br middle men; and the least
show Of independence, no matter
how sustained with ability and vim
dicated with obvious purity of mo-
tive, ostracizes a man with party
managers. The history Of the
past few years contains many no
table instances of this vicious prac-
tice. 1t has banished nearly all the
good and able men in the;country
from public station. Partyism of
this sort is q general and unquali-
fed curse; and we would that it
could be brought TO an end. If it
is not, the nation will find an end
under the rule of upstairs, preten-
ders, incompetents and extremists.

AN article in the New York
Ecentng Post, ons.the culture of
wheat and the manufacture of -four,
says: E,a.s ~, Ia. No y
The chief-wheat growing States Of the
Union, mentioned in the order of their
importance as such, are Illinois, Indians,
Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan,
Iowa, Missouri, Virginia, Pennsylyania,
New York, Kentucky, Maryland, Califor.
MIA, Oregon and Tennessee.
This statement does injustice TO
Tennessee. A few years since
Tennessee wheat, and -four made
from it, in scrutinizing comparison
in the great -four markets Of the
country, was adjudged the finest on
exhibition. The capacity of this
soil for the production of fine wheat
and in great quantities is unsur-
passed under the sun.

The Chattanooga Republican
prefers Stokes for Governor, and ii
views with ill-disguised restless
ness the advocacy of the nomina-
ton of Gov. Senter by the Phila-
delphia Union Pilot and Knoxville
Wig, and it hits the latter 4 spite
full lick when it declares that
Knoxville is bound TO become a
one-horse town unless she gets an
other omnibus bill, and it pro
fesses to suspect the Wig thinks
she will be more1ikely TO get it by
continuing Senter in the Governors
Office" The Stokes organs seem to
have a peculiar spite at Senter.
