NEW PROCESS FOR WORKING GOLD ORES

 We do not know anything officially about

 new process of working gold bearing

 quartz, which has been recently but in one.

 ration in this county. We only know that

 the works have been established. and are in

 operation, between this place and Nevada

 City, which will treat ores in a new way,

 The works are located near Glenbrook race course, half way between this place and Ne vada City, and have been in operation some three or four weeks It is said the process

 there used will work quartz in Jumps. with out crushing and without concentrating sul- phurets, in the completest manner. Not A color of gold escapes the new process. The Jumps of quartz put into the works are de- solved, so to speak, in few moments and all the gold and other metals are extracted and returned, less cost of working. And the cost of working, 1t is said, is much less than by the mill process. This we give as . rumor, and We do not know that the rumor IS correct. If the new process is all that rumor says it is, then the millennium has about arrived. At all events the new onera. tors are paying their own way and are ask ing no one to put up cent for them. We noticed, yesterday, several sacks of quartz gong up to be turned into gold. -lGrass Valley Union.

The INCREASE OF PosTAGE-When Senator
Hamlin kindly undertook to augment the profits
of the express companies 5y smuggling an amend
ment into bill during the hurry of the last days
of Congress, by which, without previous notice
to the public, the rates of postage on a large
class of mail matter were enormously increased,
he probably failed to foresee what a storm of in
dignatiOn il would arouse. 1t is curious fact
that the average American citizen will look upon
dangerous legislation calculated to infringe upon
the rights of States in which he has no particu-
lar interest, or upon the passage of huge jobs by
Congress for the depletion of the treasury, with
apparent equanimity, and yet become immedi-
ateiy indignant, not to say ferocious, when bill
is passed which directly affects his own pockets,
even though the amount of the imposition i'll the
latter case may be comparatively trifing. If he
is suddenly, and without reasonable show of
cause, compelled to pay eight cents for the pos
tage of magazine, which he has been in the hab-
it of sending to his mother-in-law every month,
after reading it himself when he has heretofore
paid only four cents for the same publication,
the parting with the extra four cents will wrench
his heartstrings worse than the discovery that
some ring thief in Washington has pocketed
SI0000 which comes out of general taxation.
And this unnecessary and totally uncalled for
measure of Senator Hamlin, which doubles the
rate of postage on a large class of matter, from
present appearances promises to excite more i'll
ceiling against Congress than many far more Sc
riOus errors made by the same body. Besides,
its effects will be very disadvantageous to large
class of business men, such as booksellers, who
do a heavy trade in supplying orders by mall
and it will be difficult to find any one, except
those who own stock in express companies, who
will denOunce the change in rates as a vaxatiOus
job, carried through Congress from improper mo-
tives.

CONCERNING THE THIRD TERM.-The Chicago
Tribune exchanges with nearly every Republican
paper in the United States of any note, and, with
the exception of a small organ of cheap office
holders and beggars around Washington, there
is not one Republican paper which favors a third
term. Even those papers which are edited and
controlled by POstmasters, dare not offend the
universal sentiment among Republicans by ad-
vOcating, even indirectly third term.


Under the circumstances of the origin of the
story, its use by the Democrats to prejudice the
country against the President and the Republ-
can party, the signal failure of all those who
have attempted a third-term party, is it not time
that the whole nOnsensical business was buried,
and the Republican party relieved of all thought
of any further discussion on the question: As
well attempt to repel an accusation of purpose
to establish a monarchy, as to deny the shadowy
imputation of fayoring 4 third term; the one pro-
position has about as much foundation in truth
as the OtheT.-C Chicago Tribune

TYRANNY OF A TYPOGRAPHICAL UNI0N.-The
Age newspaper employed printers who were not
members of the Typographical Union. When
that paper changed is name, its proprietors de-
termined to place uHtons men in their composing
room. The old cOmpostOrs, desiring to retain
their places, were informed that they could do so
only by entering the unon. They applied for
admission and were refused, and then they were
discharged. The situation then was this They
could work only in the union, but the union
refused to admit them, they could not work at all.
They are now laboring under the conviction that
the real oppressor of the workingman is not the
capitalist and the blOated bondholder. And it is
company which should thus trample upon the
rights of body of laborers would raise a howl
of indignation from all parts of the land, and
would be a target for the abuse of every scurril-
GUS demagogue i'll the country. These discharg-
ed printers, thirty-ive in number, have now
formed an organization of their own, for the pur-
pose of offering to any newspaper which is at
present in slavery TO the union, a chance to OBJ
tain its freedom. They are all good workmen,
and they are competent to enter any composing
room and proceed to business without causing
any Inconvenience to the establishment. We
trust that among the proprietors of newspapers
in this city some one will be found who is will
ling to give these men chance Ond to free him
self from the domination of an organization
which must be OdOus to every man who be-
lieves that he is entitled to conduct his business

gether for despOtic Philadelphia BnI-

In 1872 General James G. Blunt was arrested
on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the Gov

Fall before the Circuit Court of the United States
for the Eastern District of North Carolina, an
adverse verdict was rendered. Motions were
then made by the defendant:


l. For new trial on the ground of error in
admitting and excluding testimony, and misdi-
rection to the jury m the charge of the Judge


=. In the arrest of Judgment, for the reason
that the Judgment in fact did not set forth any
criminal intent.


These motions were argued before Judge Bond
last Thursday, when the court sustained the mo-
tions and ordered the discharge of the defendant,

Until within few years ago the carving was
always performed by the mistress of the house.
In the last century this task must have re-
quired no small share of bodily strength, for
the lady was not only to invite-that is, urge
and tease her guests to eat more than human
throats conveniently could swallow-but to
carve every dish, when chosen, with her owa
hands The greater the lady, the more indis-
pensable was the duty; each joint was carried
up to be operated on in its turn by her, and by
her alone. The peers and knights on either
hand were so far from being bound to offer
their assistance that the very master of the
house himself, posted opposite to her, might
not offer his assistance. His department. was
to push the bottle after dinner. As for the
crowd of guests the most inconsiderabe AMONG

In connection with the decision of the
Massachusetts, Supreme court in the case oil
the Old South Church the Boston Trans
script gives the following resume of the case:
About 1869 Mary Norton gave the land on
which the church Glands, on the corner of
Milk and Washington streets, and other land
adjoining, to certain persons and their sue
cessors in lee simple ''for the erecting of a
house for their assembling themselves to-
gether publicly to worship God," etc., 'and
TOR the accommodation of the meeting house
with convenient passages of ingress, egress
and regress for the people that shall there
from time to time assemble as aforesaid, and
for no other intent. use or purpose whatso-
ever" In 1845 the successors of the origi-
nal donees were Incorporated, and the act of
incorporation authorized the corporation to
take and hold the land for the support for
public worship, for parochial and charitable
purposes, and for paying the debts of the cor
poration. The corporation was also author
lied to demise and lease any OF said real es-
tate except the meeting house and land under
the same. In 1873 the corporation in accord
anee with the views of a majority of its mem
bers, petitioned the Legislature to remove
the restraint upon sale of the church and
land under the same, imposed by the act of
lS45, and also petitioned for special power
to sell, so as to remove any question which
might arise by reason of the trusts set forth
In the original grant. The Legislature, how
ever. refused to give any special license to
sell, but did remove the inhibition imposed
by the act of incorporation, and referred the
parties to the Supreme Court to decide what
their legal rights might be. In the Supreme
Court it has been claimed on the one hand
that majority of the members of the cor
poration have perfect right to sell the prop
erty without regard to the wishes or interests
of the minority; and on the other side it has
been claimed that the property is held subject
to certain trusts, and that it cannot be sold
without special license from the court and
upon proof that such sale is necessary to
carry out the purposes of the trust. The
opinion of the Supreme Court, as now given.
Is that this trust does not constitute a public
charity; that the property cannot be sold
without license from the court, and that it
remains for the court to determine, upon
hearing the evidence, whether the wishes of
the majority or Of the minority are most in
accordance with the provisions of trust and
the interests OF beneficiaries.
