Our skeptical contemporary of the

assessments on the tax rolls to prove the
assertion Of a rural journal that the
value of property has increased through
out the State. We doubt if this sort of
proof will be forthcoming.

The East Carroll Democrat compares
the records of the present Police Jury of
the parish and the municipal authorities
of the town of Lake Providence to the
infinite disadvantage of the former.
While the Police Jury has expended all
its revenues and piled up Il debt of
$1,000 in two years, with the expenses Of
two-thirds of 1882 wholly unproviled
for, the town administration has in one
year paid Off Il debt of $500, put the
streets in excellent order, met all the
current expenses, RENTED the munich

cash in the treasury. The Democrat has

Accident.
virginia City Enterpri E,

NhkAuAH ~ AnhSAlAANt
Some three weeks ago two Com
stockers struck on across the Sierras
on a prospecting trip. They went
over into Placer county to look for
pocket lodges, placer mines or any
thing else in the mining line that
would pay. One of the men now
writes to a friend in this city as fol-
lows; I'VE spent some two weeks
without finding anything we cared to
stay by. AID finally concluded to 90
down the valleys aud work for wages.
You must know that for a pack ami
NAL we have one of the meanest and
most contrary of Piute ponies. He
will never do what you want him to
do, and runs away on the slightest
pr~ovocation. Well, we were going
down a steep mountain trail toward
Georgetown the other day, when the
pony stopped short, gave a snort and
broke off through the brush down the
steepest plrce he could find. He
scattered grub, pick, shovels and
cooking utensils in all directions and
finally ended By standing on his head
in a deep gutter at the bottom of a
r%avine, where we made him fast to
a tree and then rolled him over
and landed him on his feet. While
hunting up our traps we found
some pieces of quartz that showed
gold, and in an hour or two found the
vein from which it came, and a good
one it is-at least for a small party.
We have made our carp in the ravine
Just where the pony landed, and have
made more than miners wages ever
since. We have a big fiat stone for a
mortar, mill, or whatever you may
call it, by selecting the richest Of our
rock, can make it pay pretty fast.
How long it will hold out we don't
know, but We are in a bulge of the
vein that is about four feet wide We
are saving up a good deal OF second
class ore tit is full of free gold), and
will presently make our fractions pony
do duty in an arastra.
There is a nice little stream of
water in the ravine about fifty yards
below our pocket,a and on the sideofthis
we have already commenced building
an arastra. We have been into town
Georgetown once and sold a few
ounces Of gold-just to see if it was
good-but you bet we said nothing
about our find. We shall stay by our
pocket as long as it stays by us, then
look for more along the same streak
of quartz, which runs from eight to
ten inches in width in most places, and
has what Senator Fair would call Q
kindly look"

estate Credil' Hypocricy.
Courier Journal, 16.

Notwithstanding the persistent OBJ
jections of the alleged State credit"
organs in Tennessee to any comments
of ours upon the peculiar condition of
Tennessee politics, we are moved to
say that we have never seen Democrats
put themselves in such an absurd DO
sition as those occupy who are sup.
porting MIR. Russell. The Beasley
boom is playing out very rapidly, for
no good Democrats can possibly vote
for a man to hold a responsible posi-
ton who declares that he is RESPONSE
Bile to nobody, and that there is no
eternal God in the Universe. The
adherents of Mr.. RUSSELL thought that
they we're actually voting for State
credit" and an accomplished settle
ment Of the public debt. They are
now beginning to realize the extent of
the game played by the Republicans,
whe are laughing in their sleeves at
the partial success of their State
credit" expedient.
We are satisfied that a little further
consideration Of the absurdity of afil.
Eating with the. Republicans, who will
repudiate the whole debt Of Tennes-
zee just as o as they can control
the State, will bring the majority of
Fussells supporters with a whoop
over to Bate.
The Tennessee Democrats can take
two courses. They can vote the Re-
publican ticket, Of which the Russell
arrangement is a segment, and hand
the State over to the Republicans,
wholesale reputation and plumber,
and have their State affairs managed
by a corrupt cabsl at Washington have
negro and white children sandwiched
together in the public schools, or they
can vote for the regular Democratic
ticket, headed by Bate, and keep the
State in Democratic control and have
the only real settlement" Of the
public debt approved by the people of
the State sctualized free the State
from the intrigues of the Republican
administration, and remove the debt
question from,State politics.
but you advise the reputation of
fifty cents on the dollar" buster the
alleged State credit organs; buster
the h~ypoeritical Republican con-
spirators who are intent upon swind-
ling the creditors out Of all their
money. We advise nothing Of the
kind. We say there is not a party
in Tennessee to-day which proposes
anything but reputation. They are
all in the same box, but the regular
Democracy expresses the will of the
people Of the State in proposing to
settle at 50-3, and the nan who says
it is wrong to propose a settlement at
that figure, and a supreme virtue to
settle at 60-6, is evidently troubled
with a left spiral movement of the
molecules Of his brain. We say that
there is no justification for a Democrat
who prefers to repudiato with Repub
licans rather than repudiate with his
own party. The position OF such a
Democrat is indefensible, and the
alleged State credit" organs are to.

When President Arthur Works.

~
Mr.. Arthur's time for working is
late at night. His friends and social
friends frequently stay till 10 or IL
o'clock, and after they go the Presi-
den. goes TO his work. He works
rapidly, and keeps two or three clerks
busy. 1t is always after midnight, and
sometimes it is as late as 3 O'Clock in
the morning before he gets through.
But he cleans his desk. Not a thing
is set aside and piled up for next day.
Going to bed at 3 or 4 o'clock is no
doubt conducive to sleep, but it is
not conducive to wakefulness and
work in the morning. And yet,during
the sittiDgs of Congress, the President
is expected to be ready to receive
Senators and Representatives at 10
o'clock in the forenoon. The rest of
the day is taken up with callers until
4 or 5 o'clock, when the President
takes a little rest and drives out with
the finest equipage ever housed in the
White House stables, in the last
twenty five years at least. His Brew
ster landau is Of the largest size, very
dark green as 10 body and under
carriage, but picked out with a bright
carmine-just enough to relieve its
darkness. By the way, when will
Americans put more color on theil

coaches. On the panel of Mr. Arthur
carriage is his coat Of arms, large
bright and handsome.
