What Newspapers DO.

He who denies the influence of the
Press, is either knave or fool and he
who defes its power knows not what he
does, and is fit subject for the interior of
an Insane Asylum. The Press talks to all
at once, and its statements stand uncontra-
dicted, its teachings unrefuted The news
paper moulds the outside opinions of its
locality, and pictures in the minds of those
who never trod its streets an enterprising,
wide-awake city, OR dull, plodding town !;
sends tar~and wide panorama of its sur
roundings, and rings up the curtain on
scene drawn from nature, and peopled with
characters painted from life. Here is the
worthy citizen, there the enterprising mer-
chant. This man builds houses for the
people, and that one loans them money!
There industry and thrift build up fine
business, and here mismanagement and
improvidence is checked by angry creditor
The whole town is sketched in the columns
of the local journal, and its pictures
whether true or false-whether tamely
drawn or highly colored-are the only ones
seen by its readers, and therefore stand as
true to the life. This fact is not generally
well considered by the people Take, for
instance, any one of the papers of this city
To-day it publishes the statement that some
citizen has committed heinous crime or
chronicles the failure Of an enterprise oil
vital Importance. Both these announce
ments may be contradicted by local cotem-
poraries next morning, but the fiat has
gone forth, and many will see and read the
assertion whose eyes will never meet the
denial To all such the man stands con-
victed villain or the enterprise failure
This is terrible power to be welded by
the Press, which, while it cannot be denied,
should impress those in whose hands the
power rests, with the necessity of guarding
it well and carefully. A single dash of the
pen may affix stigma which even death
can not remove. A two line paragraph
may blight life or stain reputation with
a blot so indellible that oce ans of ink can
not remove the blemish. Thus the power
of the Press for good or evil is beyond cal
culation. Brute force may for time hold
it in abeyance-may silence its tongue,
and crush it beneath the iron heel of des-
ponism, but truth cannot be put down.
Like the Phoenix, the prosecuted Press
will rise from its ashes and send forth in
thunder tones its denunciation of wrong
and oppression.-[J. NJ Bassett, in Stock
ton Republican.

and Poisoning Quail.

A San Francisco man, member of the
Sportsmen's Club, writes to the Alta as
follows, in relation to the disgraceful prac-
tice of trapping and poisoning quail, which
we hope few persons indulge in;
" And isn't it beautiful state of affairs
when some miserable skin-fint, puritanical
old cuss, with an acre or two of grapes.
must be allowed to poison, trap and destroy
the game of California, and sportsmen, men
who certainly are as much entitled to con.
sideration-who do as much to support the
City and State Government-pay more
taxes and are better men-must be thrust
aside that few old hedge-hogs may have
their way, Confound their grapes Must
tie whole community knuckle to their
stingy souls ? Such men would take a
grain Of barley out of dead chicken S
mouth and then sell the chicken, no matter
what it died of Why not join with this
principle and poison all the singing birds !?
they go into the grain fields aud eat few
kernels of wheat mayhap A man that
would poison quail, would poison canary
for disturbing his rest; will steal, rob, muir
der. There is one thing | do want, and
that is to know who, and what manner of
man it is that ,oiU poison and trap quail ];
and | hereby publicly announce. that will
give $40 per head for the name and res
idence Of all who do it this coming summer
If | don't make Rome howl, and their
names household words, then may my gun
rust and miss fire forever.

Prince Bonaparte Coming.

What have we done that we are compel
led to bear the inhiction of the presence of
every villainous character thrown off from
the ever-seething ebullition of European
politics For over half century it has
been the custom for America to furnish a
safe asylum, not only ''for the oppressed of
every land,' but for tyrants and oppres
sors' when the whirligig of time caused
their stars to be otherwise than in the as
cendant. Notwithstanding the great en-
nifty of the royal born to our country, it
has furnished place of refuge for many
of them; the Bourbons, the Bonapartes
and members of the House of Orleans, to-
gether with kings and queens out of en-
ployment, from other countries, have all
been kind enough to honor, uninvited, the
plebeian soil of the Republic with the
tread of their sacred feet. 1t appears that
we are again to have greatness, almost
royal, thrust upon us, in the shape of
Prince Bonaparte, the chivalrous murder
er of Victor Noire, cousin to the French
Emperor, and the hero of half dozen
homicides. The opinion cannot but sug-
gest itself that his room would answer
equally as well as his company; but if he
sees fit to come, the infiction will, of
course, have to be borne But what the
United States has done, that every Euro
pean cut-throat, when their countries be-
comeitoo hot for them, strikes Immediately
therefor, is not clear San Jose Mercury

Mastery Inactivity.

A correspondent of the News Letter
touches up the metropolis upon its lack of
vim. He says: Mastery inactivity will
not make or maintain a city, and San Fran
cisco has entirely to mnch of it. Many of
the capitalists of San Francisco seem to
think that it is entirely unne ,essary for
them to do anything further than to get
the best interest possible for the loose cash
they may happen to have on hand. The
trade of the coast is here, and they imagine
that it could not be driven away They
hear that Stanford is trying to get Goat
Island, and preparing to throw all the bus
iness that he can to Oakland, and coquet-
ting with Benicia and Vallejo, and refus-
ing to make the improvements promised on
Mission Bay within the designated time !;
and they do not bulge from their masterly
inactivity. The proper policy for these
gentlemen is to bring Stanford and his iron
track into San Francisco whether he likes
it or not; and if that policy is not adopted
instead of the present mastery inactivity
changes will be seen. There are two great
railroads leading into California one fin
ished from New York, the other unfinished
from Puget Sound. Vallejo taps both
one at Sacramento and the other at Marys-
ville Stanford owns both, and he cannot
afford to have them tapped; and the only way
In which he can prevent the tapping is to
buy out the Vallejo railroad and its lands
or build road to Benicia And when he
does either he will make his main terminus
at the straits OF Carquinez, and the proph-
ecies of the Sacramento Union will be ful.
filled. The peril may be averted, but the
mastery inactivity must be abandoned, and
the capitalists must think of something for
few months besides two per cent. Can
any warning suffice to save San francisco?
The Shasta courier., 1870-04-09

AN English clergyman thus accosted a
London street Arab, whom he found play
ing marbles on Sunday: "Do you know
what happens to little boys who play mar
bles on Sunday?" "They must either
win or lose" said the boy NO, my little
man, that's not all the devil comes and
carries them away" "Oh, but" says the
boy, the scripture says he is chained up"
es, but his chains reach all over the
world" said the clergyman. Quick as
lighting came the answer, Why, if that's
the case, the beggar might as well be
loose"

WATERING PLACE IN EMBRYo.-We
are informed upon reliable authority (says
the Lower Lake Bmletn) that Eastern
capitalists, who have been visiting this
place and viewing the lake, have conclud-
ed to build side-wheel steamboat, with
an elegantly furnished cabin, and put it
on the lake, arranged to carry excursion
parties and freight from one end Of the
lake to the other, distance Of about forty
miles. Also, that they intend to build a
first-class veranda hotel on the margin of
the lake, with baths of all kinds attached
thereto. This would, in our opinion, be a
good investment, for there is not a finer
BODY of water in the State of California,
and perhaps no other State 1t is only a
short distance from San Francisco and Sac
ramento, and the climate is unsurpassed
on this soast We have some of the best
mineral springs in the immediate vicinity
the world ever knew. This lake CLEAR
Lake, is bound to become the most-tash-
ionable resort for pleasure-seekers on the
Pacific Coast. A splendid line OF coaches
will be run between Lower Lake and Cal
istoga, where they will connect with the
cars. and passengers will be able to make
the trim from Sacramento or San francisco
in about four or five hours. Hunting and
fishing parties can here find all the game
and fish they desire. We have more nat
ural curiosities in this county than any
other portion of the State.
