HE PASSING OF ARTHUR. Prince
Arthur is about to pass from Montreal to
Washington. It is hardly probable that
he comes in search Of the Holy Grail,
for the absurdity of searching for any
thing holy in Washington needs nc com
ment. Though he were to deck himself
in "white samite"-a mystic and Won
darful garb which. according to the
Round Table legend, formed the fashion
able costumes OF the period thus
arrayed, were to promenade Pennsvlva-
MIA avenue and explore the recesses of
the Capitol. the White House. and the
Treasury, he would find nothing which
the most gushing and imaginative of
pilgrims could mistake for the Holy
Grail. The sword which Butler would
not return to its rightful owner might
serve, Mt pinch, as modern represen-
tative OF the good sword Excali bur: but
unless the peripatet!c Arthur is prepared
to accept the sacred spittoon Of Grant as
substitute for the Holy Grail, lie will
return empty-handed from his pilgrim
age. He will doubtless reach this CITY.

Charleston Ne,os has an article suggest
ing what may be done in this State in the
next campaign. Tho Ne,CS is right. We
can put fifty or more 'guardsmen" in the
next Legislature. The Ne,cS is on the
right track here. It says:
'Forty-five able and incorruptible
men, backed by the moral influence of
the whole State, might do much to con-
troll The action of the General Assembly
in all that concerns deeply The welfare of
our people. The forty five should be n
nucleus around which the moro sensible
or dissatisfied of their opponents would
naturally gather. Their influence would
be potent in exposing the follies and un-
masking the villanies of the radical crew.
They would be the rallying point, the
forlorn hope, the sonl and the tongue of
all South Carolina. Armed with truth
and justice, fgting against ignorance
and vice, these forty-five guardsmen
could and would prevail. And this, mark
It'll is the worst fate that we are called
upon to meet, 80 long as we show bold
front and allow no struggling from the
ranks. We are sure of forty-fve repre-
sentatives in the lower house, if we de-
uo Aot ourselves py Iatnerlng that policy
OF compromise which stinks in the nos
trils of all honest men.
"Forty-five out of one hundred and
twenty-four is the least that we shall
have. And we can have more. We may
carry twenty counties instead OF fifteen.
We may have sixty or seventy represen-
tatives, if we plan and toll Alright and
steep not our souls in the sinks of radi-
cal iniquity. But compromise with
sin, bargaining with guilt, will, nc mat
ter what venal politicians say, whelm the
State in ruin!"

final passage, by the wide-awake Washing
ton correspondents Of the Union, Bulletin
and Chronicle. And yet, the Alta has
apparently just discovered that such bill
was introduced and passed, ssd falsely and
stupidity asserts that it was put through on
the sly, and instances its passage as ga good
example of the mischief sometime wrought
by hasty legislation" But then we think
we have succeeded in showing that the
statements of that clumsy and blundering
journal do not amount to anything in the
way Of reliability aud truth, and certainly
there isvery little prospect that the au-
thor Of the luminous extract above quoted

The Shasta courier., 1870-12-10
.sIJsANyILLEY HEARD FROM!

About the coolest thing we ever heard
of in the way of absurdity or burlesque
was contained in the last issue tf the Sage
Brush, little sheet about the size OF
cabbage lesf, published at the Insignificant
little half-dead and halfalive village of
Susanville, the capital of a one-horse county
which polled three hundred and thirty
three votes at the last Presidential election,
and which should be abolished by the next
Legislature aud tackled on to Shasta or
Plumas. The aforesaid sheet actually con-
tanned a "leader" advocating and setting
forth the propriety OF abolishing the Shas-
ia Land District and the creation of a
new District to be composed in part of
portions of Shasta and Siskiyou, with the
Land Office located at-yes, at-SUSAN-
V1LLE!- As no one who can help it,
ever goes to that isolated and unpromis-
ing place, it is thought thatif Congress
would establish Land Office there, some,
body might thereby be compelled to zisis
it, and the bean poker sharps; who consti-
tite the principal population Of the village
mightthen stand 2 little sho~to make a
raise occasionally by robbins a stranger"
As the territory of Lassen consists princi-
pally Of. that stagnant mud-puddIe mis-
named Honey Lake, worthless mountains,
and sterile alkali plains bordering the
Humboldt Desert, the Government will
probably always continue to own the most
of it, and it would be safe to bet that Uncle
Sam willnot succeed in selling one fourth
of his real estate in that county during the
next half century. But then, the Sage
Brush has spoken, and J. c Partridge, one
of its ownJrs, wants contract for survey
ing Government land, and some of his
bean-poker friends want to be Register and
Receiver, and of course the Land Office
should 90 to Susanville. Well, we pre-.
sumo it must go there! but it will be lit
tie "rough" on the farmers and miners of
Trinity, Siskiyou, Shasta, and Tehama to
