The WiH County Democrat speaks Of
Hon. OEEY JOHNSON, as "this distinguish
ed person" That is very good but dis
tinruished" for what? For running away
from the Legislature last winter, under
prctcnco of being sick, because he hadn't
spinal marrow enough to vote like Il man
either for or against the Convention bill
Or was ii for saying this the other night
at the Court House in this city:
ave want Convention to frame n
Constitution that shall have provision
in it that shall forbid forever the power to
pass test Oaths, to take from men the
means of earning their bread and sup.
porting their families by their professions
And this, per contra, at Parkersburg in
1862.
"But we have no words Of palliatiOn
for the leaders Of this rebellion; those
who were the instgatOrs Of this trca-
son, and whose motive power was u ticnd.
ish hate to republican institutions. For
them we have no excuse 10 offer let them
enjoy the full lruition of their rights un.
der the constitution, ~hih rights ne con-
cCiw 10 h5N specify trial J0r Mcir hiM Of
lenses 0RdG Specdy execution"
Does " this distinguished person" think
test oaths are more stringent than hang
mgy While providing in new consli'
tuition that nobody shall be made to swear
they never rcbeled against the govern
ment, won't it be necessary also to pro
vide that persons shall not suffer dealt
for treason

A WRITER in the Times having asserted
that the socalled Republican General
Committee" of this city, Of which Mr.
Horace Greeley is president, is opposed Il
General Grant, and that It would require
"rare courage" for Mr.. Greeley to admit
the fact, the Tribune this morning says
"Mr. Greeley does not himself favor lhC
denomination Of General Grant, and /!
prepared to give his reasons at the proper
tlmc;' and adds: "Mr. Greeley insist
on the perfect right Of every Republican
to avow his personal preference as to the
Republican candidate for next President
and cannot realize that rare courage Is
ever ovinCed in making such avOwal. |
there be not perfect liberty in the premises
If II does indeed require rare courage
In Republican to indicate his persona

patty to be asCCrtaincd' II prescription

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-SENArE.-On me-
ton of Mr.. Chandler, the bill introduced by
Mr.. Corbett to incorporate the Japan Steam
Navigation Company was taken ur, Mr.. Bay
ard opposed the bill, arguing against the Gre
alton by Congress of corporations indepen-
dent of State taxation and control. Mr.. Cor
bett explained that the Company was design
ed to operate in the waters of Japan, and that
"a national charter was necessary to give them
standing in the Consular Courts of Japan.
Mr.. Morril, vermont offered an amend
ment reserving to Congress the right to re-
peal, alter, or amend the charter. Agreed to.
Mr.. Davis supposed the object of the Cor
poration, in coming to Congress-, was to es-
cape taxation in California. where much of
its property was located. It seemed to him
that every ring in the United States had rep
resentatives here asking charters of incorpo-
ration, and that the tendency of such legisla-
ton was absurd.
Mr.. Nye advocated the measure in the in
terest of the revival of American commerce.
Mr. Bayard moved an amendment subject
ing the Ccmpany's property within the linn
its of the State to taxation, and making cor
porators Individually liable to the amount
Of stock for all debts of the concern, which
was agreed to. lie then commented upon
the growing danger to our institutions from
the Grant money Corporations, and remarked
that the noise of no State was so potent to-
day in the Congress of the United States as
of these corporations which had been created
by the breath of Congress itself. lie wished
his voice could reach the American people
that they might. be warned of the dark days
in store for them if something was not done
to repress the growing influence of these great
monopoles.
Mr.. Hamlia said there was not one word
in the bill about regulating commerce. 1t
simply granted certain corporate powers to
number of private individuals. This was a
species of legislation which heregretted to see
Congress entering upon.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Corbett, the bill
was recommtted TO the Committee ON Com
merce.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT Our Festival was
complete success; we realized toward the fund
something over two hundred dollars clear of
all expense, fact which speaks we'll for the
citizens of Chinese Camp, especially, so soon
after raising about faur hundred and fifty
dollars toward the German Sanitary fund.
The ladies took hold oil the work with royal
will. the sales table and grab BAG were bonn
tifully supplied, every man woman and child
seemed truly happy. Such gatherings cult
vate the Intellectual and social qualities Of
cur nature, and should be more common than
at present.
But what shall say of the School Exhibi-
ton, oaly one sentiment prevailed, that ir
was perfect, and far beyond eur most sas--

SAVING MAcHINE.-The Scientific Press in
it's last issue thus notices q recent patent OBJ
tanned by Per johnson who lives near Column
bia in this county;
1.-THE object of this invention is to make
Improvements in mounting and operating
saws, and also to provide portable saving
machine. The device consists of a box or
cart-body, which is provided with wheels on
which the apparatus is moved when change
of location is required, and which serve as
balance wheels when the saws are being ope-
rated, the machine then resting upon legs
which, at other times, are folded up against
the BODY. Connected with the shaft of these
wheels by betting and other appropriate
means, are the saws which are secured in a
suitable frame and are placed at suitable dis
tances apart TO cut wood into lengths for fuel.
Bv the combination, person standing at the
rear of the cart will be able to drive the saws
at greater speed with little exertion, as the
heavy cart wheels serve as fly or balance
wheels to keepup the movements of the saws.
The idea is novel aid the continuance is GER
tainly very neat.n

"HAIGuT ORGANS The Placer Herald. So
nora Democrat and Butte Record chime in
with the Sacramento Union in singing the
praises of His Excellency."
The above appears in the Dorniecilie Dem
ocrat of End inst. 1t is news for us to learn
that the UNION DEMOCRAT is one of Governor
Haight's organs, or that we chime in with
the Sacramento onion in singing praises OF
him. We are opposed to railroad monopo-
lies, so is Gov. IIaight and the Sacramento
Union. If they agree with us and see as we
do on this question, wecan'thelp that. That
is as far, as the Union and this paper keep
company politically. We are not extremely
favorably impressed with Gov. Haight's ad-
ministration, although we may accord in re-
lation to Incorporated monopolies. He is far
from our choice for next Governor. There
are o number of Democrats in this State
we prefer should receive the nomination, men
whom We would have more confidence in politi-
cally than we have in our present Governor.
We do not think his availability quite so
great or necessary for our party as it once
was. If he receives the nomination, it will
not be by any influence of ours, unless advo-
eating the anti-railroad issue shall be so con-
strued. Should he get it, we will support
him to the best of our ability. This state
ment may relieve our friend Of the Doraie
rifle Democrat and show him his error.

The DIsGuIsED DRAINS, safely called medi-

DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BlrTERs. That fam

properties to fiery and adulterated Alcohol,
but to medicinal roots and herbs never here
