We saw last week in possession Of a
gentleman on board the cars .he gold
watch presented TO Daniel Webster by
the citizens of California as token OF
their gratitude for the stand he took in
the United States Senate for the admis-
sion OF California as State. The watch
and chain weigh q pound and holf. The
chain. which is of the guard pattern, is
very massive. and the links being twist
ed, il looks half an inch In diameter. Be.
tween the watch and the chain Is solid
gold tablet appropriately inscribed. The
watch and appeudages were made of the
virgin gold of California. by the Elgin
Watch Company. and presented through
w. G. Ralston. late president OF the Bank
OF California. When Mr.. Webster died
this famous watch fell to the possession
of Col. Fletcher Webster. his son, who
disposed OF 1t to the present owner. Its
iuslinsic value. probably, IS about one
thousand dollars, but Mr.. Robinson has
refused ten thousand for il. lie has sew

EDToRs' TRoUDLEs. II we were called
upon to specify two of the most serious
annoyances which beset The journalist in
his effort TO meet the public demand Tor
the new aud entertaining. we should un-
hesitatingly mention the urgency oi one
class of people for the publication OF
matter OF no special interest TO the pub
lie. and of another in procuring the sup.
preston Of news which is legitimate
material for publication. The editor is
frequently sought 10 avoid all mention OF
some occurrence which may have become
the subject of general comment, and the
result, in nearly every instance, is that
the yielding editor shortly finds the mat.
ter set forth in every journal but his own.
If q serious accident occurs which excites
the interest Of the community, some
friend Of the family is almost sure TO re-
quest, ION behalf OF the relatives, that the
matter be kept out OF the paper. and in
stead of having the public satisfied by
accurate information. the parties interest
ed are likely to find the most exaggerated
and distorted accounts going The rounds
of other papers. We are reminded of
this topic by our most recent experience
in snppressing all reference to serious
attempt at suicide, only to find report
telegraphed abroad in detail and copied
into all our exchanges. We were aware
Of the futility OF efforts to keep such q
matter out OF the newspapers, but de-
ferred TO the very earness request OF well:
meaning friends; with the anticipated
result that the matter is widely published.
while our own paper. which was the first
to obtain tie Information, is made to APP
pear almost the only one ignorant OF what
has transpired in our vicinity. And yet..
when the next request is made Tor the
suppression of some fact which is sure TO
become generally known, we shall have
just as much difficulty in seeking to con-.
vince the parties that the public will
obtain the news from another source il
we fail 10 give it.-Er.

AIRING THAT DON'T WORK.

The repeal of the civil rights bill IL
simply question of time. The white
race revots ut It's unnatural conditions
and the country resents the fa-
natical zeal which devised II.
The whole temper aud spirit OF
the people, north and south, outside OF
q few vicious negroes cormorant car
petbaggers, aud radical outrage manu-
facturers, Is against 1t. The thing Is
already ignored virtually at the north,
and in the south IL has disappointed
the expectations Of the negroes who
hadibecome' possessed with the idea
that there was II sort of forty acres
and n mule element in it, If not "mil-
lions" The practical workings of the
bill, 80 far, have disappointed It's pro-
jectors, The north ignores 1t and the
south simply lets 1t defeat itself. 1t is
one of those outcroppings of the war,
born of fanaticism, which will hang
itself. If rope enough is given. The
hope that II would create the widest
CONSERVATION and the bitterest hostil-
ity accompanied by sufficient outbreaks
to give nm excuse for the use Of
troops, has been disappointed. In
this state, outside of few coun.
ties where the negroes predominant
the bill creates no more sensation
than a patent oilicereport. Ourpeople,
white and black, DO not intend to per-
NIT this insidous and malicious bill
to create trouble the white man does
not thrust himself upon the black man,
and the black man does II t seem to
desire TO be ugly, by claiming the emp
ty privileges of the civil rights bill.
The repeal of the law by the next con-
gress, or its amendment, will be urged
by as many northern as southern men.
The bill bears too directly upon ma
terial interests which may be effected
not to enlist the attention of other than
southern people.
1t is the wish of the white people of
the south to educate, elevate and chris
tianze the negro and make him, as far
AS his nature will admit, u moral, So
