Census Work.

The strict and minute regulations
for taking the census of 1880 will
make it unusually accurate and relia.
bic. The law and the Instructions
issued by the superintendent require
the work of the enumerators to be
carefully and thoroughly performed;
when it is not so performed it will be
sent back to them with the require
ment that it is to be done over again.
The easy performance of the enumer-
ators' duties depends great deal upon
the people themselves, and it will not
be out of the place to remind the pub
lie that the law requires every inhabi-
tant to give the information asked of
him by the census officers. It is not
matter of choice whether he will an
swer the questions or not; it is made
his duty, and a penalty of 800 may
be imposed for refusal. The following
provision of law will explain the mat
ter.
THAT each and every person more
than twenty years of age, belonging
to any family residing in any enumer>
alton district, and in case of the abb
sence of the heads and other members
of any such family, then any agent of
such family, shall be, and each of
them hereby is, required, if thereto
requested by the superintendent, SUI
pervisor, or enumerator, to render a
true account, to the best of his or her
knowledge, OF every person belonging
to such family in the various particu'
lars required by law, and whoever
shall willfully fail or refuse shall be
guilty ofa misdemeanor. and upon con-
viction thereof shall forfeit and pay a
sum not exceeding one hundred dol
lars"

not to obtrude this compulsory fea>
ture unnecessarily, for, as the superin-

tendent remarks, "no people in the
world are 50 favorably disposed to-
wards the work of the census as the
people of the United States" and in
the vast majority of cases, persons
called on for information will give it
without delay. 1t is only where in
formation required by law is refused
That the individual Withholding it will
be reminded of the penalty. In the
main, enumerators will rely upon the
statements of individuals, but they
are not bound to accept statements
which are palpably untrue, or which
they have reason to suspect are untrue.
The enuRerator must make q person.
al visit to every dwelling in his dis.
trict, and to each family therein; and,
in addition to this, he must hunt up
every individual living out of a fami-
ly, i'll any place of abode. 1t is with
this latter class that the enumerators
will have most trouble. They live in
lofts, warehouses, factories, stables,
huts, tents, boats and barges, and to
reach them the enumerator will need
to keep his eye open to all indications
of such casual residence, and to make
inquiry, both of parties occupying the
business portions of such buildings and
of the police, also. Policemen will
have it in their power to render val
liable assistance to the census officials,
and the mayors of cities are requested
to secure their corporation. The peo-
pie of any county, city, town, district
or state are more concerned in being
faithfully and daccu, ately reported than
all Others; it is of special Importance
to them that they make good show
ing; and for this reason they should
take pains to give, cheerfully and
promptly, all the information the
enumerators ask of them.-,T. Louis

Success in society is like electricity
it makes itself felt, and yet is un-
seen and indescribable. We see very
stupid men succeed, and very bright
men fail, but one thing can he certain
ly recommended-a young man should
have some accomplishment, such as
playing or singing, if he is gifted with
the talent for music; or neat hand at
Il drawing, or a pleasant trick of elo-
cution, ETC.; that he can read poem
well, or take part in Shakespear
club, if he wishes to make himself
popular. However, if he is intelligent
and agreeable, he gets on without any
of these helps. But they are undoubt-
edIy an assistance. This is working
age that We live in, and the whole
formation of society betrays it. Men
dress plainly, simply and without dis
play. Their servants dress better than
they do, in one sense. and yet nothing
is SO distinctive as the outline of a
gentleman. 1t is rs much a costume
Of nobility, if properly worn-the
plain black coat-as if it were the vel>
vet cloak which Sir Walter Raleigh
threw down before the quenn. A
young gentleman should not carry in
to any lady's drawing room the smell
of tobacco. 1t is disagreeable to some
women, they can not bear it. A prop
er regard for these little things has
made many mans future.

QUEER DOCTRINE.

At the Workingmen's meeting the other
night speech was made by Senator Chase,
of Santa Barbara, which was well calcu.
lated to astonish even a not very luminous
audience. Mr.. Chase is one of those erratle
persons who possess passion for the
newest and most crotchetty ideas. There
is class of people who have had the mis-
fortune to enter life destitute of any we'll
grounded convictions, and who conse-
quently never afterwards appear capable
of discriminating between sense and non
sense. The views OF Mr. Chase on finance
and cognate subjects are wildly and almost
frantically perverse. His mind seems
to resemble one of those curious mir
rors which present only distorted
and burlesqued reflections. Among the
singular observations let fall by him the
other evening was one to the effect that
the people had just as much right to compel
capitalists to lend their money as to pass
laws to enforce the payment of debts. He
also remarked that the people had right to
sieze the products of associated capital,
and made several equally important and
striking contributions to political economy.
Perhaps very little harm is really done by
the utterance of such preposterous stuff,
yet it is difficult to express feeling OF
modification at the thought that an
audience of so-called rational beings should
sit patiently, and even approyingly, to
hear it. 1t is said that Senator
Chase was applauded at the conclusion OF
his speech. Let us hope that this applause
was only manifestation of delight at the
fact that he had ceased speaking, for as.
suredly it was not otherwise at all compli-
mentary to the intelligence of those who
SO expressed their approval. There are
some persons living who contiaue to insist
that the earth is a fiat plain, and that the
sun goes round it. Argument with such
people is obviously impossible, and it is
the same with men who think that Mr..
Chase's remarks about what the people
have right to do is either common or IN
common sense.

SINGULAR STRIKE NEAR SONORA, CAL.

The most singular manner of being
struck with a fortune In prospecting that
we ever heard of occurred above Spring
Gulch, February 10Th. Mr.. Snow; late Of
San Francisco, now prospecting In this
vicinity for other parties, was out on a
quartz hunt with DIR. Drake, of San Fran
cisco. They were returning home-it be-
| ing stOrmy-when Snow, who was riding a
horse belonging to John Neale of the
Spring Gulch minel along the trail was
suddenly missed by bis companion
Shows horse had slipped off the
bluff and Gown, down he went,
horse, rider and rife (which he gripped
firmly IN his handl, roll over and over
in the snow, until he brought up against a
mass OF stone standing up ont of the snow,
its top covered with moss. He was not
hurt, as the cold, soft cushion had saved
his bones IRON the hard ground beneath.
Scrambling up against the rock, he noticed
that it was a quartz lode, and that where
the horse lad accidentally kicked off the
moss something elttered. Darkness COM
Jag on, he lad only time to break off few
specimens. which are filed with the pure
ore. One small piece was estimated to be
three-quarters gold Tons Of it are, ap-
payentiy, still awaiting its owner. Snow
says the vein is about thirty feet thick,
and in his impulsive generosity he gave
away several shares of his vein soon after.
He says he would not look at s25. 900 for
his interest" 1t is without doubt the
richest mass of quartz ever discovered in
this country, except the Divoll Bonanza. -

taken in surprising that the Parks bill
would prevent them from exercising any
common law rights they now possess, more
over. No such rights can te abrogated by
the enactment of statute. The bill is
directly for their benefit, and in their in
terests, and we tell them seriously and en-
phatically that it is the very best legisla-
ton the existing condition of things renders
possible. 1t promises them permanent re-
lief from the debris. 1t also promises to
clear out the rivers, and by affcrding
a free and ample outlet for tho food
waters of those streams, to make
the reclamation of large tracts of valua-
be land practicable. It is neither
vague nor indefinite, and though it
does not provide for the stoppage of by
draulic mining, it is much more in the
interest of the farmers than any PROPOSE
ton looking to such a contamination woald
be. Those who reject this plan of relief
in the hope that they viii secure more
sweeping and radical measures are in our
opinion destined to be severely disap-
pointed. Wise men on the other hand will
realize that contest with an interest repre-
senting a hundred millions of dollars is not
likely to be carried with rush, and that
inasmuch as time is vital factor in this
whole business, it is the part of prudence
to support the proposition which holds cut
the strongest prospect of substantial relief
in the shortest period. And that PROPOSE
ton is the Parks bill.

THE TAY BRIDGE.

The inquiry into the Tay Bridge disas-
ter has already developed some very dam
aging disclosures regarding the manner in
which the structure was built, and the
quality of the materials employed. It is
stated that the iron pillars were in many
instances very detective, being badly cast,
uneven, full of flaws, and so forth. The
men who painted the bridge testify that
they found many empty bolt holes. It is
further stated that the cracks and flaws
were covered over with paint, or filed
with putty In fact the general conclu-
sion arrived at from the evidence is that
the bridge was ''iob of the worst kind,
and that the contractors, the engineer, and
presumably all concerned, were cognizant
of, and participating in, the fraud. Some
day law reform will reach the point OF IN
ficting adequate punishments upon such
as for greed of gain thus recklessly expose
human life to destruction.

LsBonlNa UNDER mlsAppREHsssIos,

Certain citizens of Suffer county are re-
ported to have held meeting at Yuba
City recently, and to have adopted resolu-
tons against the Parks debris bill. We
do not know what these citizens repre-
sent, or how many there were of them,
but we do know, from their own resolu-
lions, that they are opposing their own
best interests, and walking blindly into a
snare. 1t seems that they oppose the
Parks bill on the ground that it does not 90
far enough to suit them. They call it
vague and indefinite, I" and in some very
strong language denounce hydraulic min
ing as diabolica1,' and maintain that it
ought to be stopped altogether, or that if
it is not stopped the Federal Government
ought to bear the expense of impound.
ing the debris in the mountains. The
REcoRD-UNIoN has fought the fight
OF the farmers in this debris bust
ness from the first. 1t has there.
fore the right to expect that they
will give 1t credit for a disposition to pro-
tect their interests. The ATTEMPT to ston
hydraulic mining is one which inevitably
involves costly and protracted litigation
The owners of the mines are wealthy.
They viii not yield without a desperate
struggle in the Courts. And while this
fight is proceeding the farmers are being
ruined. Again, dependence upon Federal
Intervention is very unsafe Congress has
never granted an appropriation such as is
asked for here without first making an
elaborate investigation; and that involves
more loss of time, and consequently more
danger to the farmers. But if the Parks
bill is adopted there is nothing to
prevent the application of whatever
amount Congress may thereafter grant, to
the carrying out of the provisions of that
bill, and in the meantime active
measures would be proceeding for the i'm
pounding of the debris in the mountains.

gMpoR9ANr DECISION.

The United States Supreme Court has
Just decided very important case, involy-
ing the right of State Courts to exclude
colored citizens from juries The Court
holds that no such authority resides in any
State Court, and that whoever undertakes
to exercise 1t is liable to punishment, and
cannot be protected by the State. The
practice OF excluding negroes from iuries
has been common in the Southern States,
and its unconstitutionality is now for the
first time authortatively declared. The
Southern Courts have maintained that the
discrimination practiced in these cases was
one of the reserved rights of the States,
but it is evident that the doctrine of re-
served rights would very soon have car
ried them back into the restoration Of
slavery, since it could have been made
TO cover and excuse any and every de-
privation CT eqnal rights applied to the
freedman. 1t was absolutely necessary
that whatever pretended State rights in
teriered with the full enfranchisement of
the negro should be abrogated. The as
sumption of right to discriminate be-
tween black and white citizens in the
relation OF jurors involves the assumption
of the same right of discrimination in
any or all the relations of lie. The
Federal Government cannot permit the
setting mp of q claim on the part of q
State to subject any part of the citizens
of one common country to special depri-
vations. 1t must uphold the principle of
equal rights upon which the freedom Of
the citizen depends. To refuse this pro.
lection would be to abandon the weak to
the oppression of the strong; to encour-
age prescription and discrimination and
TO pave the way for the re enslave-
ment of the negroes throughout the
South. Emancipation having been
once decided upon, all that it
involves follows necessarily. It is impos-
sible to allow the retention of any invidi-
GUS legislation against the ncwtg made
citizens. They must enjoy p-e' is. ~ the
same measure of liberty posses ii by their
white fellow-citizens, or they are not really
and truly free. There is, therefore, moth
ing remarkable in this decision of the Su-
preme Court. In the nature of the situa-
ton it was inevitable. The South never
had any ground for anticipating any other
judgment from the Court, and it is as idle
for Democrats to object to it as it would be
for them to fall foul of emancipation itself
at this late day. The clearing away of all
the obstacles which slowly-dying race
prejudice put in the path of the Southern
colored people was a duty of the Federal
Government as binding as any of its most
solemn obligations.

In our judgment the prospect of pros
porous season for Placerville and its sur
roundings have never been brighter than at
present. So far as our horticulturists are
concerned the weather up to the present
time could not have been more favorable if
made to their order. Mining industries
have been considerably crippled by the pro.
tracted cold weather, but when it does
permanently moderate, as now seems prob
able at an early date, the water supply will
be abundant and steady, and everybody
Will be in a good state OF preparation to
make up for lost time We confidently
predict that during the year 1850 there is
to be degree of activity in tile prospect
ing and development of quartz lodges in
this county wholly unparalleled by any
previous experience From reliable sources
it is estimated that the petition for the
extension of the railroad to PIscerville viii
receive favorable consideration, and that
the work of extension will commence at an
early date. This will lead to the develop.
ment of several new and important indus
