OUR VICAR OF BRAY.


The sudden political changes made by
the Mayor of Memphis recalls to our
mind a political poem written many
years ago to suit n ofthese w~eathercock
politicians who are always endeavoring
to sail with the wind which blows in the
direction of some official position;
In good King Charles golden days,
When loyalty no harm meant,
A jealous high churchman / was,
And so l got preferment.
10 teach my focks / never missed,
Kings are by God appointed,
And damn'd are those that do resist
Or touch the Lords anointed.
And this is Law | will maintain
n my dying day. sir.
That whatsoever king shall reign,
I'll be the Vicar Of Bray, sir.
When royal James obtained the crown.
And Popery came in fashion,
The penal laws / booted down,
And read the Declaration;
The church Of Rome I found would ft
Full we'll my constitution
And had become a Jesuit
But for the Revolution.
And this law, etc.
When William was our king declar'd,
To ease the nations grievance,
With this new wind about / steer'd,
md swore to him allegiance;
Old principles | did revoke,
Set conscience at a distance:
Passive obedience was q Joke,
A jest was n0n-resistance.
And this is law, etc.
e When gracious Ann became our queen.
The church Of England's glory,
Another face Of things was seen,
And l became a tory
occasional c0nf0rmists base,
damned with celebration.
Although the church in danger was
by such prevaricatiOn,
And this is law. etc.
When George in pudding time came Ger,
And moderate men looked big, sir.
1 turn'd q cat-in-pan once more,
And so became a Wing, sir.
And thus preferment / procur'd
From our new faiths defender,
And almost every day abiur'd
The Pope and the Pretender.
And this is law. etc.
TIL illustrious House of Hanover
And Protestant succession,
70 these l do allegiance swear
Nhlle they can keep possession;
For in my faith and loyalty
l never more will falter,
And george my lawful king shall be-
Until the times do alter.
And this is law, etc.

MARKETs.
COTTON.

COTTON.
The market this morning opened firm,
with a fair demand and an advance of
prices of B@tc. The favorable advices
from Liverpool and slight advance in
New York had a corresponding effect on
the market here; hence, holders were
firm and buoyant aid asked higher rates.
Buyers were active in making inquiries,
but were not much disposed to meet the
advance. Estimated sales for to-day,
1000 bales; sales yesterday footed up
1900 bales, of which spinners took 800,
exporters 100 and spectators 600. New
York spots were firm and steady, with
middlings quoted at l6bc, an advance OF
&c; futures were firmer, Liverpool was
steady and unchanged, with sales of l5,-
600 bales. New Orleans was steady, with
a fair demand, middlings being quoted

BANK FAILURE.

The failure or closing Of the doors
of the National Gold Bank and
Trust Company of San Francisco
was reported last evening by private
dispatch to the Gold Hill "News."
This seems just little strange to US;
as the bank had made successful
issue out of its late troubles, and was
thought to have abundantly prepared
itself for any emergency; and, all
the more strange, as we were told by
N. P. Langford, the National Bank
Inspector, at Sacramento, less than a
week ago, that the affairs of the
National Gold Bank and Trust COM
pany were found to be all correct,
and in a healthy condition. The
bank has had the almost unlimited
confidence of San Francisco people.
and if it has permanently closed its
doors. it will greatly add to the
rickety state of finances now prevail
ing at the Bay. We hope the dis
patch is incorrect.

CANVAS HOUSES.

The Gold Hill 'sNews" of last
evening has some excellent sugges-
tons to the Relief Committee of
Virginia; among which is the order
ing of large canvas houses from San
Francisco, as shelter for the home
less. To any one at all acquainted
with tent life, these suggestions hit
the nail on the head, and should be
at once adopted. A properly con-
structed canvas house, we'll banked
at the bottom with dirt to keep out
the wind, strongly guyed with rope,
and with a raised floor for sleeping
purposes, is q much more comfort
able dwelling, even in Winter, than
most of the balloon frame structures
now in vogue. There is no diff
Guilty in putting in windows or stove
pipes, and with a liberal supply Of
bedding the occupants would be
made entirely comfortable. We
second the motion, Mr.. News"

We are glad 80 b. informed that .
committee appointed from the bust.
ness men of the city win canvass the
town on Monday and receive sab
scriptions in money, clothing or pro-
visions for the aid of those who row
50 sorely need them in Virginia. 1t
he's been from no lack of sympathy
that We have up to this time omitted
to suggest such course, for We we'll
knew that such a movement would
be put in motion. We arc well aware
that many of our people have con-
tribsted privately to this cause. and
have freely profered the spare rooms
in their houses to those who have
been rendered homeless by the FIRE;
and that in many instances they are
now entertaining such guests. The
Dayton and Silver Hill mining CON-
panies have each gwen $oOO, ana
there is most likely many whose
private donations are unknown to us.
But that is immaterial to the present
movement. Many circumstances of
late have combined to render money
scarce here; yet there are scarcely
any so poor that they will not feel
like giving somethlng-be that some
thing much or little. Be prepared,
then, when the committee come
around to sec you. This is not a
charity. 1t is a duty that each one
Justly owes to his fellow man when
in distress, and one the needing of
which is additional source of pleasant
thought in knowing that that duty
has been done. Let every one, who
can, contribute.

THIS SHOULD SETTLE 1T.

Since our Just comments in Thurs
day issue in condemnation of any
mining superintendent, or other
employer, Who would attempt TO
ostracise the miners who have taken
up their homes in Silver City, sew
sral superintendents of mines have
spoken 70 n shout the matter, and
assured ~ that they had never given
any such order Is the one alluded
70, namely, against employing
miners Who live in Silver City ;
and that they have not nor ever
will make . discrimination Of this
kind. 80 long - man does his
work faithfully and we'll, no matter
where his home or what his nation
Atty, he win be employed when
help ID needed" Thus We have
besn assured by the Superintend-
sptof TIE Justice. and every mining
superintendent this side of the
Devils Gate. The accused superin-
tendsns has told rs that he has
never used the language attributed
to him, and says our informant has
put . wrong construction upon
language that may have been
spoken in haste. We hope this is
20. and sincerely hope that this may
end the matAsr. While We do not
propose tehawe our eitizens. placed
under the ban by any ono great or
small, We do not desire to hold any
person ~ strictly accountable for
language spoken in jest or heat Of
passion.

Fed None but the Deserving.

We have il upon good authority
that the supplies already being fur
nished 10. the destitute victims Of
the Virginia FIRE are being raided
upon by Numerous old hammers
from all parts Of the county. This
IL wrong. There is q class of old
frauds lying loose around in this
and Storey county, who will not
work, !, snd who have become leeches
upon the generosity Of both COM
munfties. We find them drumming
. drink in saloons, bilking the hotels,
and once in . while asking charity
from the County Commissioners.
Since tho fire many of them have
taken advantage of the donations to
the sufferers by the Virginia fire, and
are to be seen hanging around the
depot Of supplies. These gentry
are not 1T objects Of charity, and
should promptly be sorted cut from
among the worthy, and told to keep
the marks Of their boot-heels steadily
pointing toward Virginia. To this
end, and to put . check on these old
F. =
swiadlsra, committee should be ap-
pointed by the Relief Committee to
sse that they do not intrude their
presence among the worthy poor.
However destitute the family Of a
labering man may be, it is an insult
10 them to associate or eat from the
same bounty with this regiment of
"old stiffs."
