[Nevsds City (Cal. Transcript.
Four yeasu ago two young Italians
left Naples for Calif0fiia, hoping e
better their fortnnes.f They arrived
within the Golden Gate with just
enough money to convey them to the
mines in tho interior. They were
advised, to 60 to Dewnieyille and
seek work In tho Sierra Butte mine,
where . large force vas wanted. On
their journey one fell sick BY the
wayside aud was taken in by . kind.
hearted farmer, The other puahed
ahead and finally reached the end Of
his journey in safety. He failed to
obtain employment, on the ground
that he neither understood mining nor
the English language. After receiv-
ing numerous rebuhs, he started TO
return to the lower country again.
At 4 point between LOganville and
Downieville, and ten miles from tho
latter place, he became 90 weary,
footsore and disheartened that he
began to wish himself back in sunny
Italy once more, among the vines and
olives. He grew feverish thinking
over his trials aud tribulations, and
stopped at q spring TO lave his head
aud moisten his parched throat.
Cattle had been that way . short
time before, and with their feet stir
red up the li,npid water until it be-
came thick with mud. The Italian
scooped out the basin in one side o.
the shallow spring and waited until
the debris should settle to the bot
tom, that he might slake his thirst
and bathe his brow. BY aud by the
| water became clear as crystal, and he
stopped over to quaff Of it. As ht
did 20 an astonishing sight burst OF
his vision. The bottom Of the spring
was strewn with bright yellow par
ticles that glittered in their water,
bed. With all his ignorance Of min
ing he knew he had found gold. HI
scraped up = handful of dirt and tool
from it "a or $5 worth Of coarse and
fine pieces Of gold. With them h
rushed excitelly to a camp wher'
lived some of his countrymen, ant
offered to give them an interest II
his find. He told the story Of bis dis
covery, but they were incredulous
saying that some miner had stopPe'
at the spring to drink and lost wha
was found from his purse. One 9
them, however, who WAS more kind
hearted sympathized with the stran
ger and volunteered to help prospec
the claim, although he had no conf
dence in developing a permanent o
profitable one. The first day panne
out $7OO. Since then they hav
worked it constantly and on an ex
tensive scale. 1t has paid handsome

EDI1VR1AL CORRESPONDENCE.

The voice Of the people has been rati-
fled and Baton Rouge is again the
capital of Louisiana! Our little city
will resume her interrupted march
towards prosperity and the happiness
of its inhabitants and the people
throughout the State will feel that
the tide has turned, and that the
"good time is coming sure enough"
We sincerely believe that the removal
of the capital is the grandest step to-
wards the return of good government
in our long suffering commonwealth
that has yet been taken.
The classical editice erected by the
men of ls45, that for seventeen years
has been a mournful mcmento Of the
by-gone days when Louisiana was the
garden spot of the Mississippi Valley,
will again become a thing Of life, in
whose walls the sons of our rejnve-
mated commonwealth will assemble,
there to devise such laws and meas
ures as will bring back the halcyon
days, so long inscribed in the memory
of our people as almost a romantic
tale of the, "One Thousand and One
Nights"
Indeed, we can we'll offer our heart
felt congratulation and the express
sion of our sincere gratitude to the
worthy representatives who compose
the Convention for this great act OF
Justice and wisdom. We are sure
that they will never regret their
course in this matter.
Where go many gentlemen have
given us their earnest support in this
contest, we necessarily hesitate in
mentioning names, but to Col. Todd,
of Morehouse, the talented chairman
of the committee on general provls-
ions, whose sincere and able advo.
cacy of removal has carried great
strength towards its successful result
TO the worthy delegate from Cata'
houla, Mr.. Elan; whose name is one
dear to Baton Rougeans, is due the
honor of introducing the ordinance
in support of which he has labored
incessantly-many' thanks are due
We are also indebted to Messrs. Jen.
kins, of De Soto, and Davidson, o
Claiborne, for the telling and abl'
remarks delivered in, our favor Oh the
floor of the Convention.
Last, though not least, stands dele
gate r. Il. Allain, who, among hi
Republican colleagues, has been un
turing in advocating the cause of re.
stomtion. He has succeeded by hi'
zeal in rallying their votes to the sup
port of this measure. He deserves
we'll at the hands of the people of thu
locality where he has resided since
his birth. His conservatism disylay
ed on all the occasions that hav'
brought him into the discussions be
fore the Convention, has obtained 70
him great considerations among tn
Democratic members. He never fail
to command attention whenever Ii
speaks.
To-day the Convention' adjournel
as a mark of respect to the memory o
the Hon. r. B. Stille, Of Sabine
venerable gentleman, cstfemed' b,
every member. Most eloquent eulo
gies were delivered to his MEMORY b.
