wily « Transcript, NEVADA-CITY. Office---Corner of Broad and Pine Streets. base 0 " 7 WEDNESDAY, FEB, 2§th, 1866. Sonne in D1sGRACE IMPENDING.—The conduct of ““gur accidental President, brings a blush of shame to the cheek of every lover of his * country. For the evidence is niost couclusive that we have another McDougal with not half McDougal’s abilities, in--the Presidential chair. From such a source there is little hope. We might be able to console ourselves that whatis past is only a slight dereliction, if Johnson were possessed of the moral stamina of his predecessor, indicative ~~ Of a disposition to right“a wrong and shape ‘his course—according to the expressed wil! ~ of the loyal-people of -the-country. Unfertunately there isno ground for hope in this ‘regard. The President disgraced himself on coming to assume the duties of his office, and bas now given the world a secoud. dose ofhis maudlin stuff. We suppose it will not be disputed that Johnson was drunk when he harrangued a crowd of copperheads and men generally of the baser sort, ona very récent occasion in Washington. The Tue Largest NueeeT.—Speakiag of the “largest nugget’ of gold ug record, says forms us that it was found at Ballarat, io 1859, and weighed 224 pounds troy. You need not look for ‘its brother. In I854,a nugget weighing 196 -pounds was picked up in Calaveres county, California. . There are not many such lying around loose in that sectiun ef the country at present. A third was found in Australia. weighing 145 paunds Such chunks of good luck are like angel’s visits, ‘few and far hetween.” The story of ithe gold-digger finding so large a lump, and who, fearing to leave it, offered a thousand doHars for a plate of pork and beans, may not have been entirely witbout foundation. Fentan.—The Fenian trials are still in progress in Dublin” In the case of Byrne, the warden at the Richmond prison; charged with aiding the escape of Stephens, the jury agree upon -@verdict, and. were discharged. . Fair Division.—In New York-city, on Sunday evening. January.7th, Mies Hanna Jane Duke, better known as the Iowa giantess, Was united in warrisge to Alexander Bobn. He weighs one bhundred-and forty pounds; she brings the scale down at five hundred and eighty-three pounds! The Siamese Twins witnessed the ceremony. WibLiaAM LLoyp GARRISON, ip his edi. ignored. Thus, Seward was. sent North with the approbation of Johnson, to pour cit on the waters troubled by the President's ill-advised veto of the Freedman's Bureau Bill. ‘There must have been a full under: standing between the two as to what course Seward was to pursue in Now York. But, while Seward attempts to. harmonize in some degree; counseling peace and forbearance ; . and while Raymond, another satteliteof Jobnson’ who is knywo to speak Johneon’s sentiments,is tryitig to convey the impression inthe Times that the bresch between Consigns of beastiality are too prominent to be . torial valedictory, says he began the publication of the Liberator without a subscriber, and ends it without a farthing, as the pecuniaryresult of the patronage extended to itduring thirty-five years of unremitted labor. . Not DEAp.—It is now stated that Rev. Alexander Campbell i not dead, but is still living in Western Virginia,~ The name of thé theologian deceased was Duncan Campbell, who was-also aman of much note. CoLp.—The Helena Radiator, of December 16th, says the thermometer had been gress and the Executive isnot irreparable, but of trifling monient, the President himeolf makes direct and=positive war on those who differ with him on questions of recon struction. And whu ever heard from a President of the United States such personality, men as he denounces, whe have stood by the Government in its trying ordeal, are worthy of more gentlemanly treatment.— . ~The position which Johnson occupies de. mands the use of courteous terms, and no one who has been so long in public life as Jobnsoa, would degrade the position, ualess drunk, by vulgarity. Then, bis talk of assassination from these men, and his mock heroism of standing by the Constitution, reminds one of Bombastes and the boots. No one but foolor a druvken man would make himself so ridiculous, or-perhaps, we should say, so contewptible. The beginning is but a foretaste of the end. Johnson, like other accidental rulers, If the friends-of freedom can possibly learn a lesson from hisexample, it may be well. Ifthey can learn that'a_man who has never uttered in all his speeches for thirty years one sentiment of sympathy for the oppressec, nor one hope for the enfranchisement of all mankind, is not to be preferred; either as lawgiver or executive, simply because of oe act of merit, over another who is to be credited with that same meriterious act, and whose life has besides given evidence of promptings of a spirit of freedom on all occasions, the world may yet be the better for the disgrace of Aidrew Johnaon. . THE Sacramento Union of yesterday says the political sturm is raging in the East.— Evidence accumulates that the: rupture of the relations between the Presiderit and Congress was dehberately planned, “Seward, Weed, Raymond & Company being the managers of what was intended to be a partisan coupd’ etat. ‘These individvals, backed by the “Democracy,” are now pulling the wires in all directions, to makethe move: ment an apparent success, but the President's speech, which ie almost unanimously condemned by the Union press, isa heavy drawback to the patriotic efforts of bis friends. Alexander H. Stephens addressed the Georgia Legislative on February 22d, «hailing Johnson as the staidard-bearer of “the Conriitution and liberty. Stephens ig themost promising candidate for the Vice Presidéney.” . : _-<EXCAVATION~<A Mexican who was atreated last week at nitaa for;horse stealing, tunneled underneatlthe walls of the down to 35° below zero, and would have gone lower had the machine been longer at the zero eud. air iad SuisuN BeLt.—At the request of the ladies of Suisun, the Steam Navigation Comillxfated steamer Sophie McLane, for the use of the Solano Street Church. We . hope it has not become the bell of an ill-} i IN proof of the advantage to the public of the National Bank system, it is stated au” thoritatively that the circulation of the only National Bank which has failed—that at Attica, N. Y.—amounting to $45,000, is receivable by all National Banks at par, and is now redeemable in—hrwfut money upow pre-. sentation at the United States Treasury.— Contrast that fact with the result of bank failures under the eld system. In the Montana prize fight, Marley was ~ ia going to disgrace the country still more.-— . Whipped by Orem, but Marley's friends are not satisfied, whereat Orem, on the i1th of January, proposed .to fight him again for $,5000. There is no account of the acceptance. = Tne Democratic Corrse.—The DemDemocratic party wakes up, it will be found tu bethe liveliest kind of a corpse. Yes, fuller of offensive maggots than wny corpse’ that wae ever resurrected before. A SERVANT. girl committed suicide recéntly, in—London,—by hanging. Inthe room beside ber body™was tound a “‘sensational -vevel,’ narrating—murdere—and—suicides. Tue South-Efstern Railway Conrpany, England, bave ordered their porters and othit off. The order 1s said to have caused some consternation, but it has been obeyed, A month or two ago: theré was a flerce competion between twu-fival steamboat lines on the James River. They put their prices down so low to ruin each other that they both were destroyed, and pow a third party has come in and enjoys quiet possession of all the profitable business on the river. > _ GESTICULATION.—Af ‘a school examina: tion a young tyro in declamation, who had been told by the teacher that he must gesticulate according to the sense, in commencing % pivee with, The cowit litts its fiery tail,” lifted the tail of his coat tu a hurigoutal position, causing rours of laughter.
