WAGoNTowN PLACBRs. heard
considerable talk about the new placer
diggings on the Jordan below Wagon
town, we resolved to 60 down and in>
vestigate the matter personally. Arriv.
ing at Wagontown, we found the fat on
which work and prospecting are now
progressing is about Two miles long,
varying from one hundred yards TO six
hundred yards in width, the Jordan
coursiug through its centre /; although
we were informed, the creek bottom is
claimed and located for several miles
below. We started out on prospecting
tour we washed several pans taken
from various parts Of the Fat, and 10
each found a good prospect-from
cent to three cents. Much better pros
poets have been obtained, we were told.
There are several men already on the
ground, the majority of whom are at
work. The several companies are To-
Gated 10 the following order, coumenc.
ing above, Harris & Co., Smith 4 Co.,
Bowen & Co., Thos. Wall l. Co., Austin
& Co., French l. Co., Jeffries & Co.,
Downey L Co., Skinner & Co., Zapp l.
Co., Heulet l. Co., vass Il Co., Robert
son & Co., P. J. Ragan & Co., Wall l.
Co., and there are other companies locat-
ed still below. Water is scarcer at this
season of the year than at any other, in
consequence the miners are unable to
work more than one fourth of the time.
The Creek usually rises 10 September,
which will afford good sluice. head,
until the water freezes. In three or four
months after, about April LIST, there will
be an abundance of water for ground
slucirg. Indications are good for this
to be thrifty camp next season. We
would not be surprised to see three
hundred miners working on the creek
before the middle of next SUMMER

Mr.. Corbett called for vote upon his
proposition.
Senator Trumbull, of Illinois (rad>
icaI), next took the floor in opposition
to the Corbett amendment. Senator
Trumbull, more frank than others of
his party in the Senate, declared
boldly in favor of making Cinnamon
citizens. Senator Trumbull, with
great earnestness, said:
1 hope that amendment will not be
| adopted. When we are striving to
| amend the constitution of the United
States upon the great principle of secur-
| ing equal rights to all, it seems to me
to be very inconsistent with that action
to insert clause that the people of the
most populous portion of the globe are
to be excluded from the provision
When we are declaring that the Hot
tentots and csnaibals from Africa shall
have the right to vote and hold office, it
seems to me paradoxical to insert a
clause that citizens of the oldest empire
of the earth, citizens from that country
which in many respects excels any
other country on the face of the globe in
arts and sciences, among whose popula>
ton are to be found the most learned
and eminent scholars in the world,
shall be excluded. When we are seek,
ing to carry out the great principles of
human rights, that proposition seems to
me so remarkable that cannot think it
can obtain any considerable support in
this body.

;ected, every radical, except COrbett,
voting against it, and the democrats
all voting for it.
The extracts given above were
copied with care from the Congress-

The sentiments expressed by the
leading radical Senators, as briefly
given in this article, andthe fact that
every radical in the Senate, Corbett
excepted, voted against the amend
ment quoted above, we regard as
quite sufficient TO satisfy every nm
prejudiced man in the nation that it
is the fixed determination of the rad
ical majority in Congress, in case the
Fifteenth Amendment is ratified, to
so amend the naturalization laws that
United States Courts may make

Mr.. Sumner added :

can race, which cannot be naturalized
in the UnitedStates. No African coming
from Cuba, from San Domingo, from

Mr.. Doolittle (democratl said be was

Why is it that the prices of cotton for fIl-

To which the Journal replies as follows
Early last season the sales for forward de-

This led to much trouble as there was not
enough of this quality TO fill all the con-
tracts, and TO insist on specific performance

have run unevenly for several years. and the
growers have been of late more anxious
about quantity than quality. the change IN

made for low middling; and as more Of this
quality was on the market their settlement

New Board ofCOtton Brokers by resolutions
recommended that all contracts for forward
delivery should be made ION the basis OF

be promised as an acreage Of the quality

and also becau sc of the improved machinery
which enables spinners TO use the lower

the grade of low middling has now been
generally adopted as the basis Of sales. AS

What the Memphis Avalanche and

Out Democratic Nominations.
From the Memphis Avalanche.


The Southern people almost unanimously,
are concurring in the opinion that In times
| like the present, old party names should be
dropped. The love of Democracy is deeply
engraved into every ligament and fibre of
our body; but believing we can do more
good against the enemies of peace by fight
ing under another banner for the present,
we are willing to be called by any name
This policy has been adopted by every DEM
ocratic paper in Virginia. Every Demo-
cratic paper and speaker in Mississippi, in
less than one month from to-day, will sink
the name of Democracy and unite upon a
platform that will command the support of
the patriots of all parties with desire to
secure peace and Universal Suffrage. The
course which the Democracy of the South
ern States have been compelled to pursue is
most cordially approved by many of our
friends in the Northern States. The editor
of the Boston Post, man whose Democra-
cy has been tried with fire. and came out
pure gold, in commenting the policy of the
Southern Democracy, says:
Many men and measures sanctioned by the
Conservative movement at the South are
opposed to Democratic sentiment, yet Dem
Ocrats are willing to forego all mi
nor considerations and unite with
liberal Republicans to give them the
victory for the great, patriotic object of
breaking the shackleS of military despOtism.
emancipating white men as well as black
from the reign of demagogues, and present.
ing an opportunity for popular will to di-
rect public affairs. This is the motive which
influences Democracy to aid the Conserva-
tive section of the Republican party to gain
victories. They surrender their own can
didates, and are willing to adjourn their ex-
elusive party organization for the purpose
of obtaining a clear field for a fair contest
when the full and honest expression of the
majority shall be the governing influence
To obtain this opportunity Democrats en-
courage Conservatives in their battle against
the proscriptive spirit of Radicalism; in the
Conservative success of that battle Democ-
racy claims no party triumph-it admits the
predominance of Republicanism, but re-
JoiceS in il as an important step toward that
position from which the mass of the people
can act as their judgment shall dictate, I'M
awed by the bayonet and unshackled by
test-Oaths and disfranchisement When this
is achieved, then the Southern Democracy
can take the field as distinct party. and .
ask no favor but such as reason, souItdness
of political principle, justifiable purpose
and fair eXertion shall accord. Then all par
ties can meet on equal ground, and acqui-
esce in the result will be an obligation which
every good citizen owes to the voice of the
majority. To claim such an election as that
In Virginia as Democratic party victory,
Is not only unjustifiable but positive OBJ
stacle to the accomplishment of an oppor-
tunity to obtain such a victory.

The Port Gibson Standard is one of the
half dozen Cor less) from the entire Dem
ocratic press of the State that have not
expressed full concurrence in the Con
sentative Address of Hon. Amos X.
Johnston and his hundred and thirty odd
co-signers representing more than two
thirds of the counties. And even the
Standard does not withhold its approval
from the main features of the paper. The
points of agreement are thus stated in the
Standard:
We agree with them that the objectiona-
BILE portions Of the proposed constitution.
upon which President Grant has permitted
our people to vote separately, ought to be
voted down; and that the constitution,
shorne of those Objectionable clauses, ought
to be adopted. We agree with them furth-
er, that the ultra wing of the Radical party,
having put themselves on the same platform
with the more moderate wing of that party,
the contest will narrow down to a choice OF
candidates for the various offices in the
State, and that lis very desirable to secure
good men to administer the new constitution.
We also agree with them in what they evil
IDENTIFY intend to say, but do not say very
distinctly, that whilst the Ultra Radical
leaders are set of unmitgated scamps,
the Moderate Radical leaders are gentlemen
and that the selection of State officers be mar
rowed down to these rival factions, the lat
ter would be far preferable.
