DEATH OF PRINCESS LEoro1D1NA,

WASHINGTON, March IA private
telegram, received in this city, an
nounces the death, at Vienna, offPrin-
cess Leopoldina, second daughter OF
Pedro l., Emperor of Brazil, at the
Of "A.
1t is singular that the above dispatch
should have any local Importance in
California. Yet it has. LeOpoldIna
was born It Rio Janeiro, when the
ship Loo ChOo was lying in that har-
Dor with q detachment of Stevenson'S
regiment on board. Among those
belonging to the regiment was a man
named Harris, whose wife accOmpan-
led him on the expedition, and at the
time the Princess l.eopOldina was ush-
cred into the world in the palace OF
her fathers, Mrs. Harris was giving
birth to a girl on board the Loo Choo.
James Watson Webb was then Amer
lean Minister near Pedro's court and
everybody knows what an eccentric
genius that celebrated gentleman was.
On being officially informed that the
Empress had given birth to a child,
he refused to congratulate the Emper-
or on his happy fortune by ordering
the American men-of-war then in the
harbOr to fire a salute, unless the
Brazilian forts paid a like compliment
to the birth of the American child on
board the Loo Choo. A long and
irascible correspondence occurred on
the subject between MIR. Webb and
the Emperor's Governor, b latter
not understanding the force OF his
argument that every child born in
America was considered as good a
sovereign" as those born in the par-
pie elsewhere. The affair at length
became serious, and Minister Webb
actually demanded his passports, and
went on board an American man-of-
war, then in the harbOr. No small
amount OF interest was manifested IN
the fleet at the circumstance, and the
matter subsequently created consld-
cradle sensation in the United States.
where the punctilious conduct OF Mr..
Webb was heartily applauded. In
honor of the State to which the regi-
ment was bound, the child was chris
tened Alta California Harris, and the
event was celebrated in the fleet and
on the transports in a manner that
must have been very to
the p~roscriptive notions Of the aristoc-
racv of Brazil. 1t is unnecessary to
saw that James Watson Webb was the
veteran editor of the New York COur-
Ter and Enquirer, aud q of the most
peppery as we'll as chivairic gentlemen
that ever represented our country
abroad.-IOakland Transcript.

FROM PIoCHE.-From the Ely
Record, March II:

Thursday appeared to be a noted
dav in Pioche-all i'm reference to min
ing claims, ore, or employment in
mines. One gentleman, as he was en-
tering a restaurant to take breakfast,
previous to his departure to San Fran
cisco, had two six-shOoters presented
at him; and, but for the timely INFER
terence of Mike Dolan, the affair
might have terminated fatally. An
other was the display of a six shooter,
which went Off preInaturely, but was
knocked in the air by officer Doliff.
Ike Brown was in range Of the ball,
and only a few feet from where the
pistol was discharged, and 1t was only
by the presence of mind of officer
Dolif that his life was saved.

THE KU-KLUx DEBATE.


From the NJ Y. Tribune
No other section has half the interest in
suppressipg the dastardly midnight outrages
which disturb and disgrace the South that
the South herself has She needs peace
and rest; she needs order and security; she
needs capital and population-all which these
crimes destroy or repel. Not one-fourth of
her acres are under CIVILIZATIONS; not a hun
dredth part of her water-power is utilized;
her annual product of minerals is not thou
sandth of what it might and should be. An
influx of two or three millions of intelligent,
energetic, efficient miners and manufacturers
would double the average value of her real
estate and reduce by one-half the burden of
her taxation. Yet those whose deeds of
arson, manning, and murder preclude any
considerable influx of capital or industry
vaunt themselves Southern men" and even
''the Southern people," in contradistinction
frcm 'carpet-baggers" 'scalawags," and
''niggers"
The Democratic party has multitudes of
outside counsellors who urge it to remember
that Democracy ought to mean devotion to
equal rights, but especially to the imperilled
rights of the ignorant, the humble, the power
less. It's leaders are exhorted to consider that
they might secure considerable segment of
the colored vote, even yet, by evincing huma-
nifty and common sense. 'All you need,
persist these wel-neaning counsellors, ''is to
be Democrats, as you have always professed
to be, and you have the country in your
hands"
Such importantly is vain. The Democratic
party of to-day is simply the Rebellion seek
ing to achieve its essential purposes within
and through the Union. A victory which
does not enable it to put its feet on the necks
of the black race seems to the bulk of its ad-
herents not worth having. It's heart is Just
where it was when it regarded slavery and
the Constitution as two names for one thing.
1t hates the generals who led the Union
armies to victory, and rarely misses a chance
to disparage them. 1t clings to that exagge-
rated notion of State rights which makes
them the shield of all manner of wrongs and
abuses. 1t takes counsel of its hates even
more than of its aspirations, and will be salts
fed with no triumph that does not result in
the expulsion of all active, earnest Republi-
! cans from the South.
We rejoice that the condition of the South
has been discussed in both houses of Con-
| gress, because the public mind is thereby
impressed with the attitude of the two par
! ties in that section. LET us have peace" is
still the prayer of the Republicans. 'Let
outrage and murder continue till we shall have
driven the blacks from the polls and chosen
President and Congress-" is the counter.
cry. If nothing more than this shall result
from it, this session of Congress will have
accomplished great good.
