LYON COUNTY TIMES.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF LYON COUNTY.
Terms. 25 Cents PEI Week.

In the 'calln for National Con-
vention to secure religious amend
ment to the Federal Constitution, the
seemingly contradictory ground is
. taken that the constitution, as it
stands, acknowledges no connec-
ton between our Government and
Christianity" and at the same time
that "our fathers, century ago.
based the nation on the principles of
Christianity The seeming dis
crepancy may be reconciled, per-
haps, by distinguishing between a
substantial or practical conformity
to the principles of right and JUS
tice which Christianity requires, and
formal and explicit recognition of
Christianity. In this view of the
case, however, the question arises: If
the nation was substantially based on
the principles of Christianity CEN
tury ago, and has prospered won
dertully on such a foundation, is it
worth our while to iaaugurate for the
second century of our national ex-
iStence u bitter contest over the for
mai acknowledgment of Christianity
by namet Confessedly we have the
substance; let Us not light for the
shadow.

When Henri Rochefort fitted in a
ghos;ly way through San Francisco
he left behind him only faint odor
of petroleum and vague impression
that his worldly wealth was abso-
lutely nil. His experience since he
returned to Europe shows that even
patriotism pays when treated as IA
commercial commodity, and man
aged with ordinary mercantile
shrewdness. Not desiring to live in
France on account Of the eNtr mely
warm feeling which the government
eutertains for him, he remains in lux
urious exile al Geneva, receiving an
income Of $4,000 year from the
conSrabapd sale II La Nauouale in

tions t. . Radical Rewspaper. which
has a circulation of 100000 copies a

who were the companions of his ISL
and imprisonment, and who caRse
with him to San Francisco, went out
of sight soon after their escape, and
have not since raised their heads
above tine waters of oblivion. They
had patriotism enough, such as it
was, bat they were not sufficiently
thirty to put ii to any profitable use,

from Texas, which was handed us for pub
LEGATION:
NEARLY every paper pick up, has some
thing about Texas in it, letters written
mine times out Of ten by parties who
have not seen, or been in more than one OF
two counties Of the State, and from what
they see then, (the customs Of the people,
farming facilities, scarcity OF money, &C.,
&C. they will attempt to give one a gen
eral history Of the State, generally winding
up by saying that Texas is greatly overra-
ted. will say for the beneit OF those
reading these letters, that they are mostly
written by emigrants who have come here
thinking that a fortune could be made cast
ly by quilting Texans. but they find that
the quilting is considerably easier planned
than carried out. They come down from
making their fortune in this way, to having
their daily bread to make by hard manual
labor.
1t is true that some parts Of this State
are barren, just as parts Of any country

wastes. have been here less than eight
months, and in the mean time, sown and
harvested a crop Of oats that will make
nearly seventy five bushels to the acre, and
my wheat, sown since came here, will do
to house in few days. Corn planted in
April, Is now silking, and all kinds Of veg
etables in abundance. Money is scarcer
now than il ever was known TO be before,
that is, right in this section, aud that is
owing to the great amount Of improving
that is being done. All Of the building
and fencing lumber IA shipped from Flori-
da here, 40 you see that imports carry the
money from the country entirely, and luni-
Der at $50 per thousand, acts as no small
drain. To give something Of an idea OF
how much improving in this line is being
done, | will repeat what an old citizen said
to me: "Sir, there has been more building
done, and more land fenced, in the last
eighteen months or two years, than was
done in twenty years previous, and this ON
account Of the emigration" You know
that there has been more or less emigration
to Texas for long while, and to say, and

If the people Of the South were to

Of the West treat the Chinese, howl

entire North. which would startle the
whole country. The Chinese are
there in California, and, under sol

we agreed that when they came to
this country they should be treated
the same as our own citizens. But
that treaty is violated almost every
day. Only last week, large num-
Der Of Chinese had been employed by
a railroad company to work on the
repairs OF their road. While a train
bearing them, was about to start, n
number Of Americans, Dutch, Irish,
&c, gathered around it, and refused
10 permit the train 10 move. We owe
it to the Chinese, and TO our own hon.

The Grand Lodge of colored Odd
Fellows celebrated their ninth ami
versary, last week, up North some
where. We believe the Order has not
yet extended to the Southern States.
A movement was on foot at one time
to unite their Lodges with those Of
the whites, but it met with little or no
encouragement, and it is not likely
that there will be union Of the two,
at least, not in this day and genera
ton, or during the next two genera
tions.

A BILL before Congress, IL il should
become a law, will motlify our treaty
with China, so as to restrict emigra-
tion. Can we then be justly termed
"an asylum for the down.trodden and
oppressed of every landf" That has
been our boast, and heretofore we have
been entitled to that distinction. Such
a modification is not the true spirit of
our Constitution and laws, and no OBJ
stacle whatever, should be thrown in
the path Of any who desire to seek a
home IN our broad domain where there
is room enough for all.
