The Alta of Dée., 24th commences an articie thusly: “Tt is a matter of satisfaction tous} tolearn that Gen. O. O, Howard is . i ‘to’ be called to account for . . tion.’ a t agree with the Alt. Tt isa matter. of regret to us that a nian like Gen, O. O. Howard has been guilty of any act which requires him to be called to account.at’ ‘all; Gen. Howard professes to be an honest Christian gentlemen. He served his country faithfully durjing the war of rebellion, and lost, an varmin the service, He has been petted both by President Lincoln cand ‘Gen. Grant, and also by the Republican party. In 1866 he was the observers of. all. observed, at Washington. He was then at the head of every good and‘ Christian work. Itis'no pleagnre'to us, and certainly ought not to be to any ‘one else, to rejoice in the, downfall of _ suchaman. We regret that he per+ mitted himself to be led estray and that his love for filthy lucre induced him to spend the money belonging te the people who.had hunored him, for his own :private purpose. We do not rejoice at luis downfall, al%hough, having me a-defaulter for.a-large amount 4f money, by his own ‘folly, we do ejoice that the powers that be, hav independence enough to prosecutqd him. ‘‘As a man soweth so shall fe also reap.” “If hb soes the wind \he must reap the whirlwind.’ It ik right. epee ettia A Brutal Outrage. ‘Ou Friday night last a young man of respectable parentage, armed with @ pistol, went te the house of his mother, residing in this city, andin _ most brutal manner, with} pistol in hand, threagened to kill her. The alarm was given and seme of the neighbors rushed in to her assistance aud finally sucveeded in getting the Jady and her two daughters out of She and: her two daughters wero taken to the heuse of Mr. ‘Hinds, the banker, where they reRs ie tae — " they were leaving the house ‘young man told them he would kill himself before morning. Yesterday morning they found the corpse of the young man drinking lager beer. This young man, whose name we suppress out of regard for his parents, * was educated for the Bar, and until Riguor.got the best of him, occupied .& proud position in society. He was @ man of brains, and an eloquent ‘speaker. His intellect, however, is fast giving way under the influence of the God Bacchus, and cre long, unless he reforms;.he will be a fit subject for the lunatic asylum or thé ‘drunkard’s grave. Treat him kindVy for there is yet hope that he may reform. It was whisky that induced him to do such aii act, not a depravved heart. itty Christmas at San Juan. — A friend writing us from San Juan ‘on a matter of business, says: Christmas was a dull day here,notwithstanding unlimited quantities of ‘egg nogg.

Backs Us. ~~ eee The Grass Valley Union backs us on our horse railroad proposition. It thinks however, that.our people can not receive from thet Legislature as good terms'as: might have been granted two years ago, It nevertheless supports the. proposition and promises to do allit can tofurther the project. We are glad of this, for we know that with the aid of the Union, the thing can not fail. All that is. wanting, is to arouse the people to the importance of the measure, and, then it , will ee oe Agia itt * Of \f. Bear ) Thee is a bill now before the Judicisry Committee in the Assembly having for its object the appropriation of $190,000, to pay certain coupons cut off the war bonds created by the Legislature of this State in 1855. The Bee of the 23d explains the whole transaction thusly: The Legislature of 1855 created the War Bond Commission, ‘and sent Sam Smith and J. W. Denver to Washington to settleand adjust these claims, the General Government having appropriated $924,000 for that purpose. with them as their Secretary, and he, infact, was the Commission, for he a the business to do. The law ongress, making the appropriation, required the: Secretary of War (Jeff Davis) to ascertain and examine the indebtedness, but as the. vouchers of the different expeditions, into El Dorado, ‘Trinity, etc., and all around about, were in such confusion that the Secretary of War would, in all m sheer repudiute the” ‘whole thing, the bondholders’ set themselves to work and had sufficie influence to pass a supplemental bill requiring the Secretary of War to recognize the bonds and allow. insupplemental law cut off all necessity for the Secr¢tary of War to examine oF-pass 6n the original votichers. Thus far all went well. . The. bond‘holders had secured # financial ‘vietory, rejoiced over it and were satisfied. ‘hey had done better than they had expected to do, audit was believed. then thet the coupons, if any coming due pfter January” lst, 1854, would be edt off and. returned to the State of California, for it was evidently the inteation of the Leginlature to wipe out the whole of that indebteduess with the Congressional appropriation of $924, O00: and in truth and in Met-it did wipe it out in the then opinion of both bundholders ‘ahd people. And, now, after the space’ of sixteen’ years, these old coupons ‘thus cut otf, and» which were in fact’ settled for at the time according to the general and accepted understanding, turn up in the hands, not of. the . State, but of private parties, who claim i for oy ag But now the case gone for inv i to the Judiciary liensaonienen of Noone, wift, Norton, Heribee . y.Preidenrich, Gray, 4 Street, Nevada City.

We can answer that query. Gov. Booth, in principle, is as-muach ofa Republican to-day asthe day he was elected Governor. What he desires is to cleanse the. Republican “party from its imparities. He thinks and does so.rightly, that the Credit. Mobilier frauds and the innumerable stealings from thé Public Treasary, and the back pay salary grab,and the subsidy Acts have brought the Republican party into contempt. He desires to cleanse Me Augean Stables. He will act with the administration members when they act for the publick good. Inall matters, where thiev. ing bills are ‘concerned, he -will ‘be found on the side of honesty and truth. This we understand to be Governor Booth’s position. ~ Senbior-B \ Preaching Sunday. _ Divine Services will be held in the Meth. odist Church, Sundsy morning at 11 o'clock, and in the evenitig a¢'"7 9’clock.

Who hath woe? who hath sorrows? They that tarryeth long at the wine cup, that drinketh strong drinks. Better, far” better, touch not, taste not, handle net; for the man that-runs a tilt against whisky, wall soouer or later find hig: belt floored. Backs Us. ~~ eee The Grass Valley Union backs us on our horse railroad proposition. It thinks however, that.our people can not receive from thet Legislature as good terms'as: might have been granted two years ago, It nevertheless supports the. proposition and promises to do allit can tofurther the project. We are glad of this, for we know that with the aid of the Union, the thing can not fail. All that is. wanting, is to arouse the people to the importance of the measure, and, then it , will ee oe Agia itt * Of \f. Bear ) Thee is a bill now before the Judicisry Committee in the Assembly having for its object the appropriation of $190,000, to pay certain coupons cut off the war bonds created by the Legislature of this State in 1855. The Bee of the 23d explains the whole transaction thusly: The Legislature of 1855 created the War Bond Commission, ‘and sent Sam Smith and J. W. Denver to Washington to settleand adjust these claims, the General Government having appropriated $924,000 for that purpose. with them as their Secretary, and he, infact, was the Commission, for he a the business to do. The law ongress, making the appropriation, required the: Secretary of War (Jeff Davis) to ascertain and examine the indebtedness, but as the. vouchers of the different expeditions, into El Dorado, ‘Trinity, etc., and all around about, were in such confusion that the Secretary of War would, in all m sheer repudiute the” ‘whole thing, the bondholders’ set themselves to work and had sufficie influence to pass a supplemental bill requiring the Secretary of War to recognize the bonds and allow. insupplemental law cut off all necessity for the Secr¢tary of War to examine oF-pass 6n the original votichers. Thus far all went well. . The. bond‘holders had secured # financial ‘vietory, rejoiced over it and were satisfied. ‘hey had done better than they had expected to do, audit was believed. then thet the coupons, if any coming due pfter January” lst, 1854, would be edt off and. returned to the State of California, for it was evidently the inteation of the Leginlature to wipe out the whole of that indebteduess with the Congressional appropriation of $924, O00: and in truth and in Met-it did wipe it out in the then opinion of both bundholders ‘ahd people. And, now, after the space’ of sixteen’ years, these old coupons ‘thus cut otf, and» which were in fact’ settled for at the time according to the general and accepted understanding, turn up in the hands, not of. the . State, but of private parties, who claim i for oy ag But now the case gone for inv i to the Judiciary liensaonienen of Noone, wift, Norton, Heribee . y.Preidenrich, Gray, 4 Street, Nevada City.

We can answer that query. Gov. Booth, in principle, is as-muach ofa Republican to-day asthe day he was elected Governor. What he desires is to cleanse the. Republican “party from its imparities. He thinks and does so.rightly, that the Credit. Mobilier frauds and the innumerable stealings from thé Public Treasary, and the back pay salary grab,and the subsidy Acts have brought the Republican party into contempt. He desires to cleanse Me Augean Stables. He will act with the administration members when they act for the publick good. Inall matters, where thiev. ing bills are ‘concerned, he -will ‘be

found on the side of honesty and truth. This we understand to be Governor Booth’s position. ~ Senbior-B \ Preaching Sunday. _ Divine Services will be held in the Meth. odist Church, Sundsy morning at 11 o'clock, and in the evenitig a¢'"7 9’clock.
