THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT

THE FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT-A
communication was read in the House of
Representatives on the 18th of Decen-
Der, from the Secretary of State, an
nouncing the list of States which had
given official notice of the ratification of
the fifteenth amendment, prior to De-
cember 9th. The list thus presented
shows that twenty-one States bad so
ratified. The ratifcations by Missouri
and Kansas were defective, the second
section of the amendment having been
left out by the first, and the phraseology
of the second section having been chang
ed by the latter. Both of these States,
however, will correct errors and present
a revised proof" The prospects now
are that more than the requisite two
thirds majority of all the States will be
obtained, and the question of the adop-
ton of the fifteenth amendment will be
settled before the adjournment of the
present Congress.

RAILROAD PRoGREss.-From Califor-
MIA exchanges we learn that the Califor-
MIA and Oregon Railroad is progressing
with great rapidity under the efficient
and energetic management of Vice Pres
ident Charles Crocker. There is now
fully completed and in daily use fifty-one
miles of road, from the junction with the
Central Pacific, at Roseville, to point
in Butte county (Cal.), seventeen miles
north of Marysville. Two weeks since
the Company added two hundred and
fifty Chinese laborers to their large force
of operatives, and last week one hundred
Chinese were taken from the Western
Pacific, together with sixty teams and
scrapers, and added to the force. AS a
sufficient amount of iron and ties are on
hand, the Company feel assured
that the road will be completed
and in full operation to Chico, forty
four miles north of Marysville, by
the 10Th of next month. Thus it will
be seen that the Company owning the
California end of the G. 4 o. Railroad
are making rapid Advancement with the
work, the completion of the road to Chico
making sixty-eight miles, or nearly
twenty miles per month since the com
mencement of the enterprise. There
seems to be no intention on the part of
the Company to "let up" and the proba-
bility is that the work will be pushed,
winter and summer, until the line is COM
pleted.

On the 18th of December, Senator

BLIND STAGGERs.-The following
cure for the blind staggers is said to be
infallible: Measure a stick from the
nostrils to the inner corner Of the eyes,
SO as not to have it too long, sharpen
well and run it up the nostril, twisting
around once or twice, SO as to make the
nose bleed freely, and it will give instant
relief. This remedy is so simple-the
material being always on hand-that we
consider it invaluable to farmers and
horsemen.

sOsE HUspRED .MInLIow-CHINEsE"
The great cry of Democratic editors and
spouters on this coast of late has been
that the Republican party wanted to i'm
port hundred malion Chinese into the
United States, while the Democratic
party were opposed to it. The following
facts and figures, taken from the Orego-
aidn, shows how ridiculous and senseless
is all such clap-trap emanating from
Democratic authority. s'In twenty years
the population of the United States has
been increased by 10000 Chinese immi-
grants, or at the rate of $500 year, or
as one to seventy-four arrivals from Great
Britain and Germany, alone, IN single
gear. At this rate, the s'one hundred
millions" would arrive in the brief period
of 22,222 years! But we will suppose
that immigrants from China would come
more rapidly for few years than during
the last twenty, though, really, we can see
no particular inducement greater than has
all along existed. Allow that each steam
ship from China will bring 500, and that
there will be arrivals by sail vessels sufi-
cient TO make twenty shipments of 500
each per year. A little arithmetic will
show that to land Gone hundred millions" /"
there viii be required only 100000 voy-
ages across the Pacific ocean, and that the
"one hundred millions" would be landed
here in just 10000 years v' Just think
of it-these Democratic singers of ink
will have to wait ten thousand years to
see their predictions fulfilled to see the
country overrun with ssone hundred mil
lions of leprous heathen." IF the immi.
grafton from other countries and the nat.
ural increase of our own population in
the future approximates the past, our
Caucasian population at the end of ten
thousand gears would be about 5 ,000, ,000,.
900, in which multitude the Chinaman
would scarcely be found" These figures
are given to show how absurd and non.
sensical is all this Democratic twaddle
about sshundreds of millions of Chinese, .
or millions from any country, immigrat
ing into and overrunning America.

In April, 1865, DIR. Livingstone quit
ted England on his third exploring expe-

til lately that he had fallen in skirmish
with the natives near Lake Nyassa, which
indeed, he had discovered in 1861. 1t
is stated that, pursuing the line of dis
covery successfully followed by recent
British explorers, he has found the true
course of the Nile, river flowing from
the South into the Lake Victoria n yam

ker have proven that the Nile, flowing

tion has been SO far we'll received by Eng

diseoverers. Thus Lake Nyassa would
take the name Of Livingstone; the Tan
ganika that of Burton; the Victoria
N'yanza (the latter word signifies water,)
that of Spoke; the Albert N'yanza that
of Baker and that which Baker christ
ened the Victoria Nile (the river between
the Victoria and Albert lakes) should be
called the Grant, from him who assisted
Speke in tracing it. The absurd system
of giving royal names to newly-discov-
cred places or things should be abolished

The verdict of acquittal in the Bur

"Burmester is acquitted by law, but he

tribunal-the moral sense of the commu-
nifty, which more lax than it ought to be,
is still tense enough and keen enough to
condemn not only the eliminating act of
this sad tragedy, but all the glaring mis-
conduct that led to it." The Boise

A Serious Accident.

An accident of 4 very serious nature
occurred on the grounds of the C. C. &
l. railway, in this town, last Monday,
by which a young man lost leg, and
may yet lose his life. The train was
switching in the yard, and one of the
brakemen named JOSEPH EDMONDs,
whose residence is in Peru, in attempt
ing to cross the track in front of the
moving train, caught his foot in the
track, throwing him forward, with his
left leg on the track, the wheels of the
first car passing over it, mangling it hor-
riblv. He was removed to the Empire
house, where amputation, between the
hip and knee joint, was performed by
DIR. BAILEY, assisted by Drs. JACoBY
and Won KEssLER. There were other
injuries of a serious nature, which the
surgeons thought might interfere with
the patients Improvement; but at this
writing Tuesday evening" he is doing
reasonably well.
Observation-Disclosures died at . o'clock
yesterday morning. He leaves a wife
and one child.

Out of the thousand rumors prevalent
in this community, concerning the
death Of SUSAN BEAVER ON the night
OF the goth OF January, We find it i'm
possible to give what We would consider
satisfactory statement of the surround
ING circumstances; and if we should give
| what we consider such statement, it
would doubtless be found fault with as
much as If we were to make no state
ment at ALL Therefore all that We shall
say will be in generalization, and not in
detail. The Northern IadianidR gave
lengthy account Of the case last week,
and has announced by posters around
town that it would publish the testi-
mony before the coroner's jury in full
in its issue of to-day; and as extra copies
of the paper Will be obtainable, all who
desire to read the details Of the crime
as shadowed forth in the evidence, can
there find them.
The verdict Of the coroner's jury, at
Warsaw, was to the effect that an abor-
ton had been produced upon the per-
son of the deceased, and that DR.. j. j
Yinall, Mrs. Hannah Hopkins, and y.
l.. Wheeler, all of Plymouth, were aces
sorry to her death by reason of their eff
forts to produce an abortion. DIR.
Vinall and Wheeler deny any completely
in the affair, and Mrs. Hopkins has
left for parts unknown.
As the matter will doubtless undergo
Judicial investigation at an early day,
we have 10 desire to prejudice the case,
or manufacture or shape public opinion,
either for or against the accused. 1t
is as essential to the preservation Of
morals and good order in society, that
those accused of crime should have a
calm, dispassionate Judgment rendered
in their case, as chat crime should be
