WORTH THINKING SERIOUSLY ABOUT,

- 80 e. sNA go
Late eastern kilograms say that the PRESS
dent has signed the Proclamation declaring the
Fifteenth Amendment part of the Constitu-
ton. Forney's Chronicle, published at WASH
inton City, D. c., declares significantly and
truly that 1-
sThe friends and the foes Of the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States are
substantially agreed upon one point, viz: taken in
connection with the thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments, substantially revolutionizes our form Of Gou-
ernn,ent."
The New York Herald says:
"We have in these amendments greater revou-
ton in the structure of the Government than that
which transferred the American people from the
crown of England to their institutions under the
original Constitution of the United States"
The Hartford Conn Times says:
eff that amendment is to stand the Government
itself is no longer the simple and wise Governments
of Republic founded by the Fathers,-a Govern
ment of State rights-but its foundation principle is
reserved. The Government is changed to a central
lied despotism. No longer has Connecticut or New
York, New Hampshire or Pennsylvania, or any once
sovereign State, the possession OF the ancient and
cherished right to make their own laws! Congress,
the creature of the States, has, under Radical rule
more than once nay, increasingly, lifted usurplng
hand to throttle the States who created it, NOR is
the socalled fifteenth amendment essentially any
less act of usurpaton and Of attempted and pre-
meditated overthrow of American liberty and of free
institutions of Government because it is disguised
under the form and seeming and fictitious name OF a
Constitutional Amendment"
John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, late
Democratic candidate for Governor of that
State, on able, fearless and Outspoken cham
pion of the right as was John Adams, his an
cestor, in colonial times, recently said:
"If had the pleasure of celebrating this infamous
wrong, would fire the cannon of Fort Warren and
fire them shotted. to symbolic the manner in which
this has been carried against the rights and
liberties of the American people We no longer hdve
free Government There is not a nation in Europe
in which more freedom is not actually enjoyed by
the people. We have nothing of the Constitution OF
our Fathers left u.s. but the war-making power All
else exist in name only,-the shadow without the
substance"
These are plain statements easily understood.
1t will be remembered a bill was some time
ago prepared and introduced in Congress, in
anticipation of this so-called ratification of the
establishment of despotism upon the ruins OF
the Republic, taking the management and con-
troll of elections of all Federal officers entirely
away from the States, and subjecting the whole
to the dictation and control of Congress,
What do the people think of this? That bill
will, if it has not already, become law.
Where is freedom of elections?

LOON CREEK ITEMS.

Mr.. Charles Tassell, Shepherds Loon Greek
Expressman, arrived on Wednesday evening,
March 23d, from Orc Grande, safe and sound
Fears were entertained of his safety, but he
invariably turns up, despite all predictions of
his getting lost. He was twelve days making
the outward trip, but returned in five days
He informs us that he encountered very severe
storms during the entire trip, and that several
days. in going out, he only made about FIVE or
six miles day
There are not over four or five inches of
snow at Orc Grande, and the ice being all out
of the creek, several Companies had begun
work in their creek claims. Three miles of
the bar, on the town side, has proved good as
far as prospected, the depth to the bedrock va
rying from 10 to 40 feet. The bar claims are
principally drift diggings.
A report was current at Orc Grande that
John Ramey and his party had struck good dig
gings, thirty miles below town, on creek be-
tween Loon creek and the right hand fork of
Salmon. Two persons had arrived from Lem
hi who were out with an Express over two
months.
Messrs Joseph Boggs & Co. have got their
sawmill started. 1t is four miles from town,
on Canyon creek. and Isaacs' mill, at the mouth
of Canyon creek, will be started about the
middle of next month.
Meat of all kinds has entirely given out at
Orc Grande. but provisions of all other kinds
are abundant.
st. Patrick's day passed off quietly, winding
up with "Lanagans ball." and dog fight
between the RAILROAD dog" and "Yellow Bob"
of Idaho City, in which the latter came out
victorious.
The camp will support about a thousand
people this season, and claim owners are afraid
that the supply of labor will not be sufficient
to fill the demand. Mr.. Tassell says, also, that
Stanley Basin will afford employment to from
20 to so men; Deadwood, about 25; Robe
sons Bar, about go, and Loon Creek, from
400 to 500. Wages, he thinks, will be ST 90
per day. as provisions will rate at about Ia per
cent. advance on Idaho City prices.
Tassell brought in about lao letters. and be
took out on his last trip SO pounds of Express
matter. On his return, he met Mr. Knapp at
Beaver creek, who had started for Orc Grande
but was taken sick on the way, which com.
PEELED him to return.
Judge Beatty was still at the new camp,
having wintered there, but expects to come to
Idaho City with Tassel on his next trip. The
Judge has announced himself as a candidate
for Delegate to Congress, and intends to re.
connoiter the field in person.

SOME DITFERENCE.-White employees on
the Oregon Central Railroad, East-side, are
paid $50 per month, with deduction for board

part of Idaho white miners, during the mining

as the case may be. Some difference between
the two "kedntrys," for the laboring men. In
