WHITE PINE ITEMS.
rErom M Empirc. Jannary l0.l

From the Empire, January 49,
Hor CREEK.-This district, that lies
about eighty miles south of this
place, has had a new start and is now
attracting a great deal Of attention.
The reckless manner in which business
has been heretofore done ut that place
has given way to a legitimate and reg
ular thing, and it Is now thought 1t
will prove to be one of the best places
south of White Pine. Some Of the
mines there are declared to be very
valuable, and it Is stated that all they
need is labor to astonish the country
with the amount they will show OF
shining silver. Let speculation give
way to development and large fortunes
will be the result.
WATER.-Last evening We were In
formed by the driver Of Woodruff "
Ennor's stage. that the valley between
the Five-mile House and Newark Is
covered with water to the depth of
several inches. Instead Of its having
showed down for the last two days,
there has been a slow, steady rain.
Although the roads are in a very
sloppy condition, the stage Of Wood
ruff Il Ennor arrived in town before
dark.

But it is c~onsoling to know that 4 ma
jority Of the community was in the
same boat. George +. Mills, we are
happy to state, still liveth. He is In
the enjoyment of his usual good health,
and throws himself on the outside OF
his regular pork and beans with Is
much grace rs vel. We repeat that
we are glad to know 1t, and We are
certain that most people hereabouts
will concur.
TREASURE CRY. We understand
that the late storm has done colrsidcra-
BILE damage to quite u number of build
ings i'm Treasure City. The wind,
being from the south, has q fair sweep
and strikes many of the houses in the
rear or on the ilower hillside. Many
of the buildings are ten feet from the
ground OH the lower side, which gives
the wind every opportunity to rack
them. Mike McCluSkey's large saloon
was shook up worse than an earthquake
could have done it. 1t is 4 complete
wreck.

DIP NOT SUccEED.-The telegraph
operators who struck have evidently
come TO grief. The wires have been
operated OF this coast ~ well since the
strike as before, and the news from the
East is that while the hands are short
there. enough have been secured to
keep up the work, and they are being
added to every day. Thus many hum
dred have thrown themselves out of
employment, but Others will take
their places and the country will not
suffer. The company here declared
that it would not take any of the strik-
ers back, and it is said to be keeping
its word.-Sae. Bee.

ABsURDITIRs.


IFromithe Cincinnati Times, Jsnnlry It'll:
We were thinking Of the adsurdity
OF many Of the comparisons and
figures 6und in song. For instance.
ooh l feel Just As happy as . big sunaowsf
That bends and blows in the orsezes."
Now, about how happy is q big sun
flower? What evidence Is there 70
show that the life Of a big sunf1ower Is
not one of supreme wretchedness and
woe? Admitting that happiness Is
not inconsistent with the career OF q
sunffower, Is a big sunflower any more
happy than a little one? We think
not. As far as our WI observations
extend the big sunflowers look much
the more seeay Of the two, and seedi-
ness Is not usually associated with the
serenest joy.
We are told that this big sunflower
emblem of perfect and unalloyed
bliss+sbends and blows In the
~breezes.a If It Is so very happy what
is the use of 6lorin3 about it?
/" And my hearts Just a. light as the winds
that blow
And scatter the leaves Of the treeses."
There it Is again ; If anything Is
happy 1t must needs 6kow. We are q
little suspicious of happiness that re-
quires to be trumpeted in this manner.
"Come where my love lies dreaming"
A. Ward used to say he wouldn't 60;
|-he didn't think It would be right.
He evidently Inexperienced the
writer's meaning. We can feel moth
ing but the utmost aversion for one
lwho lies dreaming. What credit could
she have for veracity in her waking
hours?
Even Byron could write some
absurd things. For instance, hi;
famous lines to Thomas Moore:
"My boat is on tn. shore,
And my bark is on the sea-"
Of what Use Is q boat OH the shore
unless it's q stone boat? Queer way
to announce that he had a bad cough
by saying 'smy bark is on the sea-
Why didn't he stay at home and BARI
it out OH dry land?
"Roll on, silver moon, guide the traveller or
his way,
While the nightingale song Is In n
If the nightingale's song were OH
of tune. what then? Would the moon
be justified to. roll OH, leaving the con-
filling traveller to continue oil his way
with u lantern? No conscientious OF
responsible moon would be guilty Of
such a thing:
GO For never, never more with my true love
I'll stray
BY the sweet silver light Of the moon"
This is n plain intimation that he
has no further Use for moonlight nights
and intends in the future to walk hl'
girl in the dark. As they had evil
IDENTIFY "strayed" in the moonlight,
perhaps they had better try daylight
for their nmbles. .

But few people have taken the trouble
to ascertain how much and in what man
ner they are taxed. The Philadelphia
Age, in referring to this subject, says:
eff business men will sum up all their
taxes and deduct them from the profits Of
Their business for any given year, they
will be able TO feel the weight of Dor
ton of the load they are carrying. But
only portion. Radical taxation operates
in more than one way upon the interests
of all classes. In the first place they pay
a direct tax upon capital, and vast col
lection of articles of all descriptions.
Then comes the income tax. This is to
many an odious exaction, which the Rad
icals enforce for the purpose Of support
ing host OF idle, worthless men, who
pocket seven dollars and a half out of
every ten dollars collected. But when
these taxes are aggregated, and deducted
from the labor of the country, the door is
not closed. High taxes raise the price of
all articles in the market. If man buys
a hat, pair of boots, coat, pound Of
beef, bedstead, looking-g glass, or a
house, he feels the influence of taxation.
He pays so much for the article obtained,
and so muclf for Radical action in keeping
up the taxes to a war standard in time Of
peace. When business men look at the
matter of taxation in this light, they will
be prepared to aid the Democratic party
in their efforts to reduce the burdens

OK the 18th day of June last, Mr.

the old story: when the Radical party is

early, and the most important bills are
now perfected and will be passed in few
days, when it is expected that we. shall
adjourn. If we open this question, it
will involve long and angry debate, and
protract the session to very late day. -
Thus we see that whenever the subject
of comforting upon the negro the right to
testify in cur courts was brought to the
attention of the Legislature, this Rebel
Radical candidate lost no time in de-
nouncing the measure, and it will be seen
he declared the sentiments he uttered were
those of the citizens of the counties he
represented. He declared that his con-
stituents would ''be shocked by this hasty
legislation which sets up the lives of white
men to be sworn away by negroes" Here
was direct charge that the negroes would
swear falsely, and that if permitted to
testify, the lives of white men would be
in danger. This charge was sweeping,
for it included the whole negro race.
| Maynard must have sympathized with
Butler, for he declared in his circular
from which we have quoted, that he OPP
posed the movement in the Convention Of
January, 1866, to confer the right Of
suffrage upon the negroes. 1t is fair t.
presume from their record, that they I'm
derstood each other, and smpathized will
each other in opposing the movement t
confer political and civil rights upon tn
negroes. Now the negroes OF the frs
and second district are expected to marcl
up TO the ballot-box, Ike sheep to tn
shambles, and vote for Butler and May
nard, and yet if these men could have hal
their way, they would have had engraf e.
upon our State Constitution an amend
ment depriving them forever of all politi
cal and civil rights. Had the Convention
, needed Butler-and Maynard was read,
to back him-not a negro in Tennessee
could to-day have voted, or appeared il
court against white man, unless the lat
Constitutional Convention had accordet
them these privileges.
