heard of the fact that colored man
supposed her husband to be connected

Cooper to ask the said colorod man to

"Thc Progress of Reform Among the
Chief Thieves.

We were promised, on high-sound-
ing words, and nasal twang, after
tho most recent election on record in
this County, that the pink Of purity
would overhaul and unearth the great
financial faro dealings of the chief
Sachems Of the bond dealers but the
last Indications are that there has
beon n wine drinking at tho chiefs
parlor, that the mountebank of q re-
former, the seven million suprooter,'
came in among the first of the guests,
and drank the first bumper to tho
success of the financial policy of the
ring : then came renewal Of obliga-
tions: burying of tho hatchet, q
drink all around, mutual admiration,
q review Of the former success in ras.
oalities then few tears Of repen-
tance thN an affectionate embrace,
and all was serene and delightful
again, and the great gamblers in
politics originated now game, in
which each was to play an important
part, ir order to deal into each Others
hands, and rob tho innocent grccnies.
If the people Of this State expect any
reform from the Falstafs and Dick
Turpins, they have moro credulitv
than we gave them credit for. There
will be no reformation in this State
until the present horde of speculators
and wire workers are driven from
place and power. Lot the people re-
member that the only reform that
will do any good is to come Ivy COM
pletely overthrowing tho present
dynasty" "-Mtssionary Record.

"ThC Tweeds Of the South"

The Buffalo IN. ~ Courier, in an
litorial bearing the above caption,
sys:
GA Western Republican Journal
makes the observation that threo
years of Radical Legislation in
Southern State is q calamity equal to
q Chicago FIRE. This proposition is
borne out by an exhibit which the
New York Tribune has just given of
the condition to which the wretched
State of South Carolina has boon re-
duced by its Radical despoilors."
Here follows an extract from the
editorial of the New York Tribune
which appeared in our columns on
Saturday last. The editor of the
Buffalo Courier continues thus.
"We feel safe in predicting that no
punishment whatever, except such as
a righteous Heaven may elect to send,
will ever reach these thieves. Their
party will cover their tracks, and de-
precate such talk as tho Tribune holds
as 'disloyal,' and will pooh. pooh every
honest statement Of their rascalities
in timo to come, just as it has been
doing for six years past. Moreover,
when the people of South Carolina
make their next desperate effort to
escape from the clutches Of the Radi-
cal banditti, the whole North will be
told that it is the outbreak of n
new rebellion, and Federal troops will
be sent to take care of tho polls and
put down sKu Klux.' 1t needed only
tho exertion of her regal will for a
single day to free Now York city
from her brigands, but some of the
Southern States have been struggling
in tho clutch Of far moro desperate
thieves for years, and still struggle in
vain. The worse than Tammany
thieves who have made six Southern
States bankrupt, and the sum of
whose robberies is estimated at two
handred and fifty millions, have been,
and still are, sustained by tho whole
moral power of the Republican party,
and Mt need by the military power of
the Federal Government

Mexico, why should not the Sacramento sometime
make little haven Of this magnificent harbor
bay
People here have the faculty Of indefinitely per
petuating feuds and bros. The seeds Of first
class eud between the San Fmnciscoans and the
Central Pacificies arc sown in the endeavor OF
the latter to get possession Of part Of Goat ISL
and, few acres of solid rock, lying perhaps a
third of the way from Oakland to the city. 1t is
difficult for an unbiased person to see any mortal
reasons why the Paci6cites should not have what
they ask for, and why the Fnnciscoaus should
not gladly aid them in their endcavor. They
say, believe, that they fear it will damage their
harbor but let them be +ssured that it is not
the Central Pacific monopoly Of railroads they
need fear on behalf Of their harbor it is the
great Sacramento monopoly Of mud. If the ieud
lasts as long as il promises 10 now, perhaps the
last named monopolist will step in between the
combatants and settle II by making Goat Island
or more euphoniously, Yerba Buena," part
Of the mainland. In the meantime the contest
cannal fail to be lively one, one worthy to at
tract the attention Of the whole republic, since
upon one side are marshalled forces that in six
years built and equipped railroad in every re.
-pect the peer Of the finest roads in the world,
over a mountain range seven thousand feet high,
and across five hundred miles Of desert, with the
accessories Of tunnel half mile long, olill
-kirted twenty Eve hundred feet straight down, a
tre-te work made a thousand feet long and seven
| ty-hve feet high, and snow sheds whose united
length tops forty miles while upon the other
are the orces that in twenty-five year 5 time have
covered and encrced score ol barren sand hills
with the stores the schools, the homes, the ware
houses, the marts, the halls Of justice and the
churches Of city OF two hundred thousand in
habitants, the fifth in size m the whole Republic.
People who do such things are apt 10 want their
own way, and take it rather hard themselves and
make it rather hard for others It they fail in get
ting it. We cannot help wishing them both sue
cess, bat it certainly seems that the good Of the
great city Ms well as the good Of the great road
and that the good Of the grand country, so much
greater than either demands that the Central
Pacific shall have the Island rs its terminus.
But that last word reminds me that it is time
10 fad terminus IN this letter. and 50 let US find
1t Just here, a. putting the grand harb0r Of the
! grand city, the scene that it opens to our gaze,
aud the reflections that il furnishes our minds,
all behind rs. we reach Petaluma and prepare u

The FoURTH.-The ready response with which
our people have met the call made upon them to
defray the expense of celebrating in popular and
patriotic manner the +" Glorious Fourth" fully
assures its public Observance, and enables the
committee Of arrangements to offer attractions on
scale never before attempted here. We under
stand that they have fully decided upon two Of
the features OF the celebration, the first being a
FRMKS's MUSTER, with prizes amounting To
5000. The large sum offered for prizes assures
US full attendance of competing engines from
far and near, as well as at least one STEAM
FIRE ESoINE, which will be a novelty to many
hereabouts. The other feature will be frst
class BALLOON ASCENSION, for which purpose the
services Of one Of the most eminent and daring
Eronauts in the country are to be secured 9th
er attractions will be announced as fast as de
cided on. The indications are that the celebra
ton will be the largest ever held in this State and
no money or pains will be spared to render il a
perfect success.
