19, 1869. ‘On Thursday last the doctrine of the Repudiationists found utterance in the House of Representatives, but it received such speedy condemnation that instead of merely sustaining confidence in the credit of the government its discussion will strengthen it. The discussion was opened by William Mungen, _ of Ohio, who was a member of the Fortieth Congress, and was re-elected to the present. Congress from the Fifth District, asa Democrat. Some of the} Democrats disclaimed reponsibitity for Mungen’s utterances, and during the discussion the . Republican” members evinced intense interest gathering around the Speaker's stand. At the close of the discussion a resolution was adopted, declaring that “the proposition directly or indirectly to repudiaw any . portion of the debt of the United States is tnworthy the honor and good name . . of the nation, and that the House, without distinction of party, hereby sets its gealof condemnation on any such proposition.” A motion was made to table this which was voted down, and on its , passage, the vote stood one hundred and ' Leean. Tenpens.—The Alia says: The Supreme Court, in a late decision, is believed to have given utterance to sentiments which cover the constitutionality of the Legal Tender Act. The Chief Justice, it is narrated, speaking for the bench, with the exception of . ‘two of the Justices, declares that Congress-has the power to emit bills of ‘eredit. Seeiffg that this power is especially conferred upon that body by the fundamental law, almost’ in these very terms, we do not see id what. the oracle, at least in this’ patticular, has ditional light. In another place we are told that this high judicial offcer speaks of the exercise of the indubiteble constitutional. powers of Congress to make currency for the whole cuuntry; but before definite opinions are made apinrelation to the scope of that remark, it will be just as well to await the receipt of the opinion in full. The Chief Justice has of late years manifested. a strong inclination to devour his own offspring, but we do not think that heis equal to the task of swallowing his own greenbacks. Stick To. THE TRuTH.—The Nevada TRANSCRIPT, in its efforts to cast opprobrium on the action of the present Legislatures, says: ‘The Assembly has created a new office—messenger to the Senate,” and suggests that a barber and bootblack might be added with propriety. In regard to the first, we simply ‘the statement is untrue. No such office has been created. In regard to the latter, the only thing wanting ‘is a proper applicant, We presume that if the editor of the TRANscuipT will come down and apply tor the “sit.” he will be accommodated.— Reporter. . To the victors belong the spoils, and we-should not, therefore, stand any show. Theeditor of the Reporter would “shine” beyond all comretitors,, and his talent in giving every thing the true Democratic cut would let us out. We have no desire to interfere with your prerogative. Will the Reporter stive a list of attaches in excess of those in the last Legislature? “Nex gen’man step up,” ’ : PROTECTION oF MINERs.—Congress has taken in hand the subject of protecting the lives of those employed in the mines. The disasters at Avondale and Gold Hill have aroused the attention of the entire ¢ountry, especialy those residing in mining districts, to the discussion of the best means of protecting those engaged in mining, and the investigations by Congress. with a view to the prevention of similar: accidents, will: be a matter of rejoicing among the miners of the country, THE New York Express admits that the existing government of New York city is “rotten to the core,” and supplicates Heaven to endow the Democratic leaders with “wisdom, grace and purhis 8igar made’ in’ twenty four hours from beets. No. 1, very light yellow ; No. 2; whitish ; No. 3, very white, but not loaf sugar. It_is. very . beautiful. He wants 10 know about our country, . California, for beets. He. says: ‘Beet sugar comes nearer to bullion than any. thing I-ever touched.” He says he. raises ten tons to the acre; each. beat weighing from one to five pounds, and yielding eight per cent. of sugar per acre. Refuse pulp sells at five dollars ger ton ; beets cost four dollars and fifty cents per ton at the mill. : The Sacramento. Valley Beet Sugar Company are now testing beets raised on their farm, located on the south bank of the American River, a few miles fromthecity. They have already extracted good crystalized sugar,and are now engaged in testing the amount of sugar thatcan be taken from a ton of beets. If the amount produced shall be satisfactory—all will be satisfactory. rs THE STONE GrANT.—Professor Boyn. in the “Stone Wonder,” and couldn’t, is endeavoring to prove that it is not a work of antiquity. He intimates that it. was deposited at the place where found about a year ago, between two days. As yet he has not furnished any proof of the statement. During the last three weeks ‘a sculptor has been empleyed in the work of making imi tation of the giant, for exhibition in New York. It is said he is to receive $1,000 for his labor. It is not.to.be exhibited as the original Jacobs, but merely aga representation of the Simon pure article. His employers are unknown, but probably they are the present proprietof# of the statue, who wish to excite the attention that opposition, real or apparent, always occasions, and thus duplicate their profite. ENDLESS CHAIN ELEVATOR.—J. A. Ball, of Grass Valley, exhibited to us on Thursday, says the Appeal,a patent chain elevator, which left upon our minds a very favorable impression as to its practicability and usefulness, We are unable to give a minute detail of its mechanical construction, as it must be seen .to be fully understood. It is a self-filling and'gelf-dischargi ng machine, grain lifter, water’ pump, excavator, &c., and) we would recommend it to the careful consideration of capitalists. <> ready approval of the ultra-partisan measures of the Legislature »s fast as they come to him, contrasts so strongly with the non-partisan and generally admirable character of his Message, as to attract notice and unfavorable comment from all quarters. That Message protnises to be a standing protest to his official acts this Winter. The people need expect nothiug but a breaking of the promises made to the ear. . RAILROADS IN MoNTEREY.—The mors concerning railroads in that county, one of which is that Holladay has saf he would take every sack of grain produced in Salinas valley next summer out of it to Monterey by railroad. The Argus is also informed that other parties are intending to construct a road through Salinas Valley from Gilroy. Another scheme of the Monterey people is the opening’ of the slough from the mouth of Salinas river to Castroville, and then building a road to Salinas City, Tue San Joaquin Valley. Railroad Company, composed of stockholders of the Central Pacific, have decided not to run to Stockton, but to connect with the Western Pacific three or four miles from the -crossing of the ‘San Joaquin river. s. -"PuE workmen engaged in excavating dirt from the bed of the old slough of the American rivet, last Friday dug, out several. mammoth bones belonging to some species of animals unknown, One bone exceeded five and a half feet in length, the articulative surface ex. pose” to reform it. ton, who endeavored to.get-an interest -ftld, who attacked him with knives. _ Tur —Recordsays:-Gov.-Haight’sT Castroville Argus mentions several ru: . ‘tliose now in use, © vhich w Te pted by tlie late Postmaster General about @ year ago, The new design will be a third larger than the present stamp, consisting of profiles. of busts taken from standard original marbles, executed by artists of acknowledged reputation.

H. Perry, by Wolcott. . In Johnson county, Ark., last week, a planter named Johnson had an altercation with three hands in the cotton Johnson drew «# knife to defend himself, killing two instantly and mortally wounding the third. Johnson received ‘more then twenty wounds, but will re cover. —_—_—_ Oo THE delivery of a letter to the authorized agent or person to whom it is addressed» ends the connection of the Post Office with it, and subsequent, embezzlement by such agent ‘is’ not an offence against the. United States, but ean only be taken cognizance of by State Courts. THe Lean Wolf is.the name of a newspaper published at Durand, Wisconsin. A Texas paper is called the Implecute. A California paper is called the Lassen Sagebrush; while another published in the lead mines some time since, was called the Pick and Gad, FATHER HyYacinTHE speaks well of this country. In a recent letter to Emile de Girardin, he says : “I offer up prayers tliat the cause of liberty may triumph and bear frait in Europe as it does in this noble country. That, with the triumph and fruitfulness of Chris” tianity, is the sole hope of the future.” found dead in his bed at Jersey City. He was worth $60,000, but only ate oné meal a day and his wardrobe, at his death, was valued at 25 cents. ~ "THE high waves caused by the winds during the past few days washed the sea wall at the foot of Vallejo street, San Francisco, so that the upper portion has slid out some six or eight feet. A CoNVENTION of liquor dea'ers in session in Chicago declare that the simplest and most effectual way to collect revenue is to tax the capacity of the distilleries. ~They denounce the present system of stamps, marks, etc., as superfluous and arbitrary. STEVEN C, Stevens, formerly Justice ofthe Supreme Court of Indiana, has recently died-at the age of 76, a pauper and in the insane asylum.

As the parties to be married entered the parlor, arm in arm, the clergyman met them midway in the room, when the bridegroom, taking the right hand of the bride,said : “We have promised to. protect each other so long as we live, We intend now to be united, and hereafter to live together as husband and wife, and we have invited you to be present this evening to sanctiun our union according to the requirements of custom and the laws.” The clergyman, in reply, said: “By the authority [ possess as a clergyman, and in the presence of these witnesses, I hereby [laying on his hands] recognize you as husband and-wife, in fulfillment of your promises.” Prayer followed andthe ceremony was ended.

Then, no doubt, she is a prize worth seeking. But if the opposite is true, then beware about trusting her with your house and hapiness. “A man must ask his wife’s eave whether he shall thrive or not,” and a houseliold with an indolent woman at the head, never can be'a happy or prosperous one.—Country Gentleman. pmmenetneneaeeeetenneeey ‘SPENCER & PATTISON, Have the Largest, the Best, and THE CHEAPEST STOCK OF IN THIS CITY!
