ment OF this account, until the Admlnlstra-
tor of Public Accounts came forward and
said squarely and openly, that the Council
could not help paying it.
Mr. Walton mentioned that one of the
committee appointed by the Legislature
had stated to him that they allowed thirty
per cent on the claim for the depreciation
Of the city's credit; now Mr.. SOuthworth
came here and asked payment in cash for a
claim which had been approved on basis
Of thirty per cent depreciation. He did not
feel inclined to vote yea on any such mo-
ton.
Mr.. Emley explained that he had voted
yea, considering the city was bound to pay
this amount from what the Administrator of
Accounts had always told them.
Mr. BonzanO would like the Administra-
tor of Accounts to declare this within the
hearing of every one now present, so that
the people might know that the Admins
traitors were not disposed to squander the
city's money voluntarily. Everybody in
town said this bill was extravagant and
extraordinary.
Mr. Shaw said the Administrator of Pub
lie Accounts had stated two or three times
before the Council all that had to be said
on this subject. The Legislature had or
dered certain work to be done and how that
work should be approved and how it should
De paid for They said that the Recorder
OF Mortgages was to do that work, that it
was 10 De approved by a committee Of no
tai1es' one appointed by the Governor,
one by the Lieutenant Governor.
and one by the Mayor, and when
SO approved the bill was to be
pald oy the city. DR.. Southworth, the
Recorder OF Mortgages, performed the labor
imposed by the Legislature. 1t took him
some eleven months and a half The work,
when performed, was submitted to three nota-

opinion it was n outrage ON the citizens
of New Orleas that they should
thus be deprived f the regulation of Their
own expenditure;but if the law officers OF
the city could td no suitable defense it
was for the Administrators to do their duty,
and for the peopl to see they did not elect

Gold Medal for the Best Sewing Machine,
The highest honors ever conferred for Sewing
Machines.

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded the stand
ard of excellence, aud has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is unsurpassed ed-sewing the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams it turns its own
hem as it sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself To see it hem, fell, tuck, braid
cord quit and gather, il seems more like thing
of life than u machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of doing every descrp-
tion of sewing that is required in family and
also for seamstrcsses and dressmakcrs ii will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in word, are the
most satisfactory Scumg Ndchiaes in use.
notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices as low as other frst-clAss ma
chimes.
A Medallion likeness of Mr.. Howe is embedded
in the plates of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of a
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe
Jr's Sewing Machine, and if they are not sold in
their vicinity, address the General Agency for
illustrated, etc, and do not purchase until You
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines.

ADVICE TO DEMOCRATS, Senator Hendricks told
the Democrats of New Orleans in late speech
that they had no cause to entertain preudices
against the negro-that the negro of his own
notion is not going to ask for social equality or
for social rights, and now that he is to become
voter, they must use their "personal influ-
cnce," to induce him to vote with them, who
had been such very kind and considerate friends

UNPARALLED IKFAMY.-We find the following
in the Amador Ledger:
A bill has passed the Assembly requiring
Amador county to pay j. A, Eagau 80 500, be-
ing the amount Eagan would have made as Dis
trict-Attorney, provided he had been elected to
that office in 1868. 1t seems that Eagan was
beaten at the election by Briggs, a Republican
and after FIVE years and finding that the Demo
Gratis have full sway at the capital, the happy
idea occurs to Mr. Eagan that there is "A good
show for him to get relief from this the most
magnanimous and considerate Legislature that
has ever diSgraced the State Accordingly, the
plea was set up that Briggs was elected by the
soldiers (Which were claimed to be illegal voters
by the Democrats) and consequently Eagan
should receive the emoluments of the office for
the two years that Mr.. Briggs held the Office
Some of the other candidates who were defeated
on the same ticket with Mr.. Eagan going in
for the same kind of relief, and they will prob
ably get it.

New GOLD DIGGNGs.-We copy the following
from late number of the San Francisco

This morning about one hundred men, under
command of Mr.. Savage, grocery merchant
of this city, left on the steamer Orifdmme, bonnd
for the newly discovered gold diggings near
Prescott Arizona, and at the foot of the Brad
shaw mountains. The men organized into

is reliably reported by responsible men who have
been prospecting in the gold districts, that i'm
mense quantities of valuable quartz are being
extracted and that the lands are well watered
and heavily timbered-the only danger being
the Indians. Large quantities of gold dust
being brought into San Diego, Los Angeles, and
other porls. The bank of California is organi-
zing company to send to that country. The
excitement on the street this morning is great I;

SOLID GOLD Com FoUND.-The Kansas City
News of February 18th relates the following in
stance of good fortune. The finder of the gold
had a wonderful prospect in finding such an ex-
cellent color
Yesterday afternoon a gentleman named
William Pate, who recently purchased and is
now improving lot near the eastern terminus
of Twelfth street, discovered on his premises
treasure of no trihng import. He was digging
for the foundation Of house, near the roots of
an old tree that had long ago been cut down.
Pate was freely using his spade, when suddenly
it struck something solid and apparently i'm
movable. Digging around the object it was
soon brought TO light. 1t proved to be a small
iron chest, rusty, bu: heavy and solid. 1t was
at once removed from its bed under the earth,
and with some difficulty opened. Imagine the
surprise and delight of Pate on discovering
therein gold to the amount of So $40. With the
gold was also found a note, and in the note was
| legibly written:
Hidden from the soldiers in 1864 II return and
this is discovered the finder will please half the
amount to charitable and the balance he keep
for his am old man, with not relative in
Missouri. &c. WAITE
The money has been placed in bank. Pate,
we understand, intends fulfilling the written re-
quest of the old man to the letter, and especially
gladly, no doubt, will be appropriate /" that

The Hard Times,

A correspondent OF the San Francisco Bulletin,
10 reference te the hard times and the disposi-
ton to attribute the change to the Pacific rail
road says:
We cannot throw all our own shortcomings
on the railroad. For years past the whole couu-
try has been living and travelling at too rapid II
rate. spirit of speculation, engeudered by
the flush times of war when we are creating
the debt that we are now paying, took hold o!
everybody. A fortune must be made in day.
Small gains were despsed everybody followed
the nation and went in debt Business was dis
counted five years in advance. Pay dug has
come. " That's what the matter" Reuts must
come down. Labor must come down. Water,
and gas and clothing and fuel, aud provisions
must all come down to correspond with the
times. Dividends must be smaller. We must
be satisfied with smaller gains Labor aud cap
ital must not antagonze, but barmonize. Peo-
pie must work New enterprises must be
started, and capital employed, not TO pay two
per cent. per month, but ten per cent. year.
Labor must not demand FIVE dollars q day, but
be satisfied with three Let this be done, and
we will be astonished to see how prosperous we
will become. I" Hard times, instead of knock
at our DOORS" will seek more cOngenial cline.
We have been trading jack-knives long enough.
Let go to work now and make the knives. 1t
is well that the railroad was finished as soon as
it was if it has opened our eyes to the fact that
we have something else TO do, in building up a
State aud city besides speculating in real es-
tate and mineral stocks. a thousand dollars
in real value is worth mo-e TO the country than
$40, 900 or 500, 900 in inflated mining stocks, or
unmprOved city lots that will not be used in
this generation or the next.
