THE SEAL BRoKEN.-We hinted last week that
We had received suspicious looking sealed
package from the house of E. L. Billings & Co.,
Sacramento. We have since broken the seal and
found two-gallon demijohn Of No.1, splendid
old liquor Ono tangle-leg, forty yard chainlight-
ming stuff such as gives health strength, spirit
and long-life when taken in broken doses and in
moderation. We submitted it to seven judges
OF the article and the majority corroborate the
above statement. We make this fact public to
direct the attention of our readers, merchants
and saloon keepers to house where they will be
fairly dealt by, get good. pure article and ex-
actly what they pay for with no deceiving or
mixing. W. D. Perkins is general agent for the
house. Send your orders to E. L. Billings & Co,
No. Ill X street, Sacramento.

The news from Arizona is not
particularly refreshing to those OF
apeaceful disposition. Those play
full Apsches seem 10 have every
thing their own way, and to amuse
themselves with such pleasantries
az burning cabins, cutting up men
and women, and removing their
hair without any close attention to
tonsorial method. When this vexed
question OF the ''Lo" family will
ever be settled seems beyond the
ken OF mortal man. It is consol
ing to know that they are combining
their sports to Southern New Mex
leo and to Arizona.

The New York Tribune says
the late address of the Democratic
Congressman sis singularly
trivial document. It deals in
vague and indefinite insinuations
against the present Administration,
but designates nothing which is
wrong and proposes no remedy for
the evils in hints at. 1t commits
the gross folly of denying the Ku
Klux outrages, and denouncing the
measures for their suppression.
It lodges the question Of the le-
gality of the recent amendments
to the Constitution, and is altOgeth
er of q lukewarmness to be spewed
out of all mouths"

SOUTH CAROLINA, if we were to
accept the statements of the
Northern Democratic journals Is
conclusive, would have an unusual
~ long list Of grievances, and her
people ample cause for again firing
on Fort Sumter. But fortunately
the accounts from the State differ.
Governor Scorr-a much abused
but honest msa- Gays the debt has
been mach exaggerated, and that
1t is below ten millions of dollars,
that the Legislature was expensive,
but not inordinately 80; and that
the excessive rate of taxation,
about which we hear SO much, is
only thirteen mills on the dollar
much below the rate in many
Northern States. The great de-
cline Of taxable property-anothe,
snuch-talked of SUBJECTS easily
explained away. The taxable prop
erty in the State in 1860, in round
numbers, is fixed at 100000, 900
300, 100000 Of which was slaves
assessed as personal property, and
since human beings are no longer
taxed as cattle and horses are, tn
burden on the old slave master
has been somewhat increased.

Affairs in Arkansas.

We had a call yerterday from a
young g entleman named E. H.
Bacon; a graduate of medicine,
who has recently been editing the
Searcy Arkansas) Tribune, hav
ing gone thither from Michigan.
DIR. Bacon states that being u Re-
publican in politics and a supper
ter of the administrations Of Clay
ton and Grant he was the recipient
of numerous letters advising him
to leave that part of the country.
He says the people there are near.
ly unanimously in sympathy With
the Kuklux, and that q Union
mans life is carried on his sleeve.
He states that Mr.. Cole, the owner
of the paper, although a Confeder-
ate officer in the late war, has
made himself obnoxious by his
support of the administration of
both Clayton and Grant, and thai
he too (Cole) has had repeated
warning TO quit that section of
country.
DR.. Bacon knows Of no recent
act of violence, and it is quite pos
sible that his tinidi'y has given
rise to an I: intentional exaygcr-
alton of the dangers from the Ku-
klux. He is impressed with the
idea that the South is getting
ready for new rebellion, and thai
still further remedial agents fol

Although the chiefs OF the Penn

constant in their assurances OF a
speedy termination Of their trou-

disposed TO think differently, and
that the exodus Of operatives
which followed the refusal OF q
Conference still continues. Hun
dreds of the better class Of work
men are leaving daily, intent upon
taking up homes in the Far West
where strikes can no longer effec'

happy one. and railways and man
