For CoNGREss.-W have heard il
rumored that VIM. NJ. Rackcrby will be
a candidate for Congress from this Dis
trict, subject to the decision of the Greeley
Convention. Go it, Bill we are not al
lowed to bet our coin.-Sutter Banner.
The services of Mr.. Rackerby deserve
recognition. Just think of tall alone
by himself he carried the twelve votes of
California to Cincinnati to help nominate
Greeley and Brown. The Liberals of this
District will be very iliberal indeed if
they don't give the illustrious Represent
ative of this State ut Cincinnati chance
to go to Congress.

HURRY TT UP.

These are railroad times. Trinity county
has for long time been left "out in the
cold," and compelled to depend upon
slow-coach " arrangements. True we
now get our mail from San Francisco a
day sooner than we used to and letters
are transmitted to the Atlantic States and
back in less than one third of the time
formerly required. Still, while all of this
forcibly impresses on our minds at what
lightning rate of progress the Pacific
Coast is marching along, it also induces
comparisons between Trinity and her
sister counties, in many instances unia-
vorable TO Old Trinity as now circum-
stanced. Our turn is sure to come with
! the rest. Other sections are much better
adapted to farming, but there their ad
vantages cease. OF timber and the pre-
cious metals we have an unfailing store.
! To utilize our resources railroads will have
| to be built. We are not able TO build
them and must bide our time. When
we reflect upon the change that has trans
pired within the last ten years, we have
no reason to be discouraged. Matters are
tending our way, and that at rapid rate.
Outside capital must soon find its way
here TO utilize our many streams and de-
velop our gravel ranges. Before the first
of August next, the iron horse will cavort
along the other side Of Trinity mountain.
Not many years ago such suggestion
would have been deemed chimerical.
But railroads do not come unattended and
without casting their shadows before.
There is a whisper that the Surveyor is
abroad in our land. "Did ye not hear
it ?" Yes the fair hills and valleys of
Trinity are now being run off into town
-sectionized, divided and subdi-
vided at such rate that in few years
not a Digger will be able to revisit and
recognize the spot where he was born
and exclaim, This is my own, my na-
tive land"
The commencement Of surveying in
this county means a great deal. Just at
this time we know of no one thing that
would help the county more and Mt once
than complete survey Of its lands. 1t
is true that only small portion is occu-
pied, but survey, while it stimulated
the settlement OF hitherto unoccupied
land, would give all Improvements fixed
and stable value aud increase our assess
ment roll TO a million of dollars at least.
II we wish to talk with capitalists con-
cerning the resources of our county, we
must, in order 10 be clearly understood, q,
have everything represented on a map.
Ii our county was surveyed and mapped
out, our own people would know much
more about it than they do now. We
have been squatters on Uncle Sans land
long enough. When it is surveyed we
can obtain an absolute title to our land
for a small sum. A general expression
OF opinion in favor Of having our county
surveyed as fast rs practicable will go far
toward accomplishing this result. Let US
think the matter over, talk it over and
striking while the iron is hot, exert all
our influence to push ahead the survey
of this county as soon as possible.

Greeley. AT the city elections held at
indianapolis, Charlottesville, Lafayette,
Terre Haute, Muncic, Franklin, Colum-

CIVIL RIGHTS.

The passage of the Carpenter amend
ment to Summers Civil Rights bill AS a
preliminary measure to vote on amnes-
ty did not suit the imperious Sumner,
and he gave this as reason why he
voted against amnesty. He will perhaps
have further occasion to remember that
however distinguished public servant
may be, his personal wishes should be
subordinate TO the will of the people. In
monarches even, such exhibitions of
temper are rarely seen and never con-
sidered in good taste, how much less so
are they under our institutions. The bill
as passed the Senate is so far behind a
huge file of other bills that it has little
chance of being reached by the House
during the present session. The same
fate probably attends the bill passed
Wednesday morning extending the priv
ilege of suspending the writ of habeas
corpus to March 8, 1873. c. M.

The Presidents modesty, which Of
ten has induced him to go to the ut
most verge of deserting Presidential
dignity, to avoid the appearance of ar
rogauce or self assertion, and his gift of
silence in nation of talk ers, have given
his personal and political enemies a
chance to pursue two lines ofargument,
which they urge alternately in perfect
uuconsciousness of their elt>contradic-
ton. AT one time he is represented as
a Sphynx-a scheming potter in con-
juction with an imaginary military ring,
for the destruction of a nations liberty;
dangerous vampire, who will trans
mute the Republic into an empire with
Ulysses |, as Emperor while the next
day. perhaps, he is held up as an ig,
norant tool of designing men, only fit
to talk horse and smoke cigars
The truth is he is a careful, judicious,
painstaking man, exceedingly anxious
to discharge his duties faithfully, and
to execute the legally expressed will of
the nation. 1t is true he assumed the
Presidential duties with reluctance and
dtfiidence; but from the day of his in
auguration he has not merely sought to
learn, but, as we shall prove has sue
ceeded in finding the wisest and safest
course of progressive craftsmanship.

lowing singular story:
About five years ago, youth, ap-
parentIy fifteen or sixteen years Of age,
called at the publishing house of John
+. Potter Il Co, in Philadelphia and
offered manuscript story for puhlica-
ton Mr.. Potter, the head of the firm,
who happened to be in at the time,
smiled at the idea of one so youthfu
aspiring to appear in literature as the
author Of q book but finally, at
the urgent request of the boy, consented
to keep the manuscript few days and
look it over. When he had done so, he
was convinced that the story, while
cvincing q lack Of polished education
on the part of the boyish author, pos
sesscd considerable merit as an exciting
novel, some Of the scenes being de-
seribed with wonderful power and al.
ter consulting with the other members
of the house decided to publish it.
When the youth called few day after
ward he told him of his conclusion, and
it was agreed that the author should
receive royalty of ten cents a copy on
all sold. The story was duly publishe1
in book form, under the title Of "W hite
Rocks" and since that time 10000
copies have been sold, But what is
singular about it is, that the youthful
author has never been seen or heard
of since, and there is now due him the
sum of $1,000 as copyright on his
story.
