SUMMARY
The Shasta courier., 1871-03-18

DIVISIONS exist in the Democratic party
which, from present appearances, cannot
well be headed. Party politics have been
enunciated by different leaders, SO antago-
nistic, that nothing short of the expulsion
of one or the other Of the advocates Of those
different policies from the party, can pro-
duce harmony in the ranks. And even
should party drill, and longing after the
loaves and fishes, succeed in quieting these
discordant elements, still there will be
fostering sores beneath the surface that
will not yield to the skill of party doctors.
But the Republican party must look to
its own strength and unity of action for
success, and not rely upon discussions in
the ranks of opponents. We must go into
the fight fully organized, and with de-
termination to win, and we repeat, with
good men as our nominees, with thorough
organization Of the party, backed by de-
Termination to win, and win we will
[Amador Ledger.

TIME FOR ACTION.

We think the time has come when the
Republican party in this State should begin
to burnish up its armour and make all ne
cessary preparations for the coming fight.
And in the conflict to be fought in Sep
tember next, no division should exist in
its ranks. As great National party, all
minor difference of opinions existing among
individual members should give way to the
superior claims of public good. For near
four years past the State has staggered like
drunken man under Democratic misrule,
and another four years of similar madness
and folly would leave the State in de-
plorable condition indeed. But if the Re-
publican party should be true to the pro-
gressiye principles that under lie its super
structure. the close of the present year will
witness the last act in the drama of Democ-
ratio folly 10 the golden State. The great
object snd mission of the Republican party
at the coming election should be to wrest
from the Democracy the control of the
State, and under the guidance of an honest,
competent and faithful ruler, once more
place the State on the high road of pros
perity. This object can be accomplished
as surely as the sun rises in the East if
the entire Republican strength shall be
brought to bear in favor of the nominees
the party may put forth.-[ Amador Led

The NEVADA LEaIsLAEURE.-The
Virginia Enterprise of March 4th thus no
tices the close of the last session Of the
Legislature OF Nevada:
As we write (12 o'clock midnight) the fifth
session of the Nevada Legislature is pro-
badly in the act of adjourning. We think
we express the sentiment of the people of
Nevada in invoking blessing upon that
provision of the Constitution which confines
the sessions of our Legislatures to sixty
days. Had sixty days more time been
vouch safed the Legislature just adjourned,
not dollar would have been left in the
State Treasury, and it is doubtful whether
dollar could have been borrowed by the
impoverished commonwealth. Altogether,
the body was the most corrupt ever con-
vened at Carson. Both branches embrac-
ed few good men, but we think we are
safe in the assertion that majority of the
members of the fifth session Of the Nevada
Legislature have proven themselves to be
as graceless set of scoundrels as ever
cold their votes TO the highest bidder in q
deliberate body.

TULARE COUNTY AHEAD.

Not long since, an article appeared in
the GOLDEN ERA, in which it was asserted
that the meanest man 10 the State resided
in Stanislaus County. Subsequent devel-
opments, however, prove that Tulare
County il ahead. The latter county has
the "houor" of harboring the meanest
wretch in Christendom Stanislaus will
therefore please pass over the belt.
There is an old man in Tulare County
80 miserly and incomparably mean, that
the heart sickens when we contemplate his
unparalleled acts
1t seems that his wife died last summer,
and no sooner had the spirit left its earthly
tabernacle, than he hurried off to neigh
boring dentist and borrowed pair of for
ceps, and immediately extracted all her
gold filled teeth. And while the prepara-
tions for the funeral were going on, he sat
out on big stone, back of the house,
cracking them like English walnuts with
an old claw hammer, and picking the FILL
ing out Of the cavities with shoemaker 8
sewing awl.
When demonstrated with by some OF his
neighbors, he said that he had spent the
best part Of his life picking and digging
to get gold out of the ground, and he'd be
gol-derned if be was going to bury any of
it again, and know of it.

The Downieville Democrat comes this
week bristling like porcupine, with sharp
thrusts at Haight. Referring to the can
didacy Of Lintbicum for State Printer, it
says:
"Linthicum is a good man, universally
esteemed, and why he should have run
wild after Haight and his abominable hob
bies is matter that astonishes his friends.
The admirers of the famous old California
Express are amazed at the unnatural union
between the gallant veteran aud the polit-
ical shyster."
In another article it openly and plainly
declares that If Haight receives the nom-
inaiion it will do its best to beat him: and
as declaration of its principles says:
"To preserve ones selfrespect by boiling
is infinitely more honorable than to assist
in the elevation of scoundrels to office un-
der the party lash. We do not fear, how
ever, that this disagreeable alternative will
present itself. But should the worst hap
pen. the Democrat feels confident that it
will be accompanied by sufficient number
of the people to defeat the reelection of
Haight, at all events"

ANECDOTE OF TOOMBs AND BEN
WADE.

TooDbs fought shy of Douglas, whom be
admired, and sometimes feared; but he as
sailed Seward and Wade, ridiculing them
as sans-culotte lacklanders, whom he de-
nounced as trespassers who ought to be
kicked of the public domain. He shook
his fist at Seward, who happened at that
moment to be quietly smoking cigar at
the door of the cloak room, and arraining
him as destitute OF all statesmanlike ideas,
and one equal to playing the slippery arts
Of a small demagogue. Then turning to
Wade, whose seat was right by the side of
his own, Toombs, his knotted locks bri.t-
ling with excitement, sneered at Wade,
who till then he had always supposed was
a man ofmoderate courage, for being afraid
of the lacklanders, and from skulking from
the real question at issue
This personal sally brought Wade to his
feet his eyes flashing defiance. Stepping
up to Toom6s and bringing his fist heavily
on the desk, he said, in tones that made
the chamber ring, "Afraid 1 am not aware
that ever saw anybody OF anything under
the Almighty heaven that was afraid of"
Toombs drew his hair back little.
"Skulk the issue ?" "Now thundered
Wade; Il am ready to go to the people
upon it-'Land for the landless vs. niggers
for the niggerless" The packed galleries
could stand it no longer, and broke out
with loud applause, which, in spite of
Vice President Breckenridge's gavel, rose,
as Douglas shook hands with Wade, into
three cheers for "Old Ben and the Little
Giant"

OUTRAGEs IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

1t is perfect nonsense to talk about the
work of reconstruction being completed as
long as outrages like those reported from
South Carolina are committed day after
day. When men whose FIRST, last, and only
crime consists in being faithful to the
Union and loyal citizens, are hunted from
their homes or brutally murdered, the Gov
ernment to which they give allegiance is
bound to protect or avenge them, no matter
at what cost Things are certainly in a
pretty condition when band of armed
rufians tear up the track Of railroad up
on which United States troops were being
transported, and COMPEL them to proceed
to their destination on foot This is simply
defiance of the constituted authorities as
fragrant as ever was committed by Confed-
crate soldiers when Jefferson Davis reigned
all powerful in Richmond. Governor
ScoTT of South Carolina believes the dis
turbed districts must be permanently oc-
cupied by United States troops, and the
severest measures be taken to punish the
ill-disposed. The road to the Capital is
guarded by strong pickets, as the Legisla-
ture is believed to be in danger from the
Ku-Klux seoundrels. Evidently, the task
Of bringing South Carolina within the
Union has been but half accomplished,
and great deal has yet to be done before
order can be said to reign in that trouble
some region. We hope that whatever
may be necessary to that end will be done
speedily and thoroughly. No paltsring or
half measures will do The evil is deep
seated and must be excised from the very
roots.-TSan Francisco Chronicle.

PREsrprSr LrNcoLs's TREAr.-l

PRESIDENT LINcoLN's TREAT.-A
writer in the Portland Press, who witnessed
the interview between Mr.. Lincoln and the
committee of the Chicago convention that
came to his house to inform him of his
nomination for the Presidency, tells the
following story:
CATER the ceremony had passed, Mr..
Lincoln remarked to the company that, as
an appropriate conclusion to an interview
SO important and interesting as that which
had just transpired, he supposed that good
manners would require that he should treat
the committee with something to drink
and, opening door that led into room
in the rear, be called out, "Mary, Nary
A girl responded to his call, when Mr..
Lincoln spoke few words to her in an un-
dertone, and, closing the door, returned
again to converse with his guests. In a
few minutes the maiden entered, bearing
large waiter, containing several glass
tumblers, and large pitcher in the midst,
and then placed it upon the centre-table.
Mr.. Lincoln arose, and, gravely address
ing the company, sid: 'Gentleman, We
must pledge our mutual healths In the
most healthy beverage which our God has
given TO man. It Is the only bevenge
which I have ever used or allowed in my
family; and cannot conscientiously de-
part from il on the present occasion. Il

And, taking . tppbles, be touched Il to

ON The TRAMP.-A short time ago,
says the Yreka Journal, young couple
started from the head Of Scott Valley to
elope for Oregon, the boy about IL and
the girl about IL years of age. They laid
in stock of provisions, cooking utensils,
packed their clothes in bundel, and star
ed afoot. To avoid detection, they pro-
ceeded through the centre of the valley,
away from the public roads and the tele-
graph, The course of true love never did
run smooth, and their fond anticipations
were soon nipped in the bud, as their par
ents becoming alarmed, instituted vigor-
GUS search, and captured the young emf
grants in the vicinity of the Ohio House.

the head of a Union drum, and curling
verbena peeping out Of fragment of a

been planted. That was, indeed, peace
