ES The Daily Transcript NEVADA CITY. CAL. — ednesday, March 28, 1877. : The Order of Caucasians. For an organization that seemed to have been formed to carry out the sentiments of a majority of the people of this coast, in reference to the immigration of Chinese, the Order of Caucasians ia meeting with opposition, and receiving blows from quarters little expected when it was found_ed._To encourage the employment of white labor and to:discourage the employment and immigration of Chinese, is a move that meets with the approval uf most people in the State, provided it is done legally and‘ fairly. The opposition which has sprung ap agaiast the Order of Cau~ easians among certain classes of citizens, . would seem to indicate that the mission® of the order is either miisunderstood, or: that its mode of procedure is contrary to good policy, and the rights of everyone wnder the law. It seems that those who attempt toset the matter right on: the ‘partof the Order, do not succeed *‘wery satisfactorily, and the more its manner-of working is-exposed, the morg opposition is created. Then, too, the murders which have * been committed in differént parts of the State, the threatening letters “ which have been received by the employera of Chinese, all of. which have been attributed to Caucasians, has had a tendency to create distrust and prejudice against the Order, notwithstanding its officers have re. peatedly denied the complicity of any of its members in such transactions, ss We cau not believe that honorable} citizens, as we know most of those are who belong to the Order,-haye banded themselves together for ille“gal purposes. There is not a mem. ber of the organization in this county, so far as we kuow, whose honoris not above suspicion. They would be the last ones to encourage or even tolerate outrages, and we believe toa man, would abandon eny order whose pur“pose or tendency would be to incite the lawless to deeds of violence, or unlawful proceedings. We know none of the secrets of the Order, but judge it only by those of our acquaintances who are members, This much we do know, there is a bitter prejudice growing up against it, and it beheoves the Order, if it intends to accomplish anything, to use its utmost endeavors to free itself from the charges springing up against it. : Demote, . The following conundranmr is propounded by tlie Sacramento Bee: ‘‘What.is ‘“demote?’’ We ask because Al. Burrows, an educator-of the youth of Grass Valley, says that ‘‘to demote a pupilto a ldWer class, for no other cause than as a punishment for improper conduct, seems to us to be very artificial and unreasonable.” Old. Noah Webster doesn't know anything about-the verb ‘‘de. . mote,’ and the Bee is no wiser than old Noah,” We suppose the word “demote,” in good plain Saxon, means, ‘‘to get,’’ ‘‘tofireout,’’ “‘tochuck down,” but in the pedagogical sense, as used by Mr. Burrows, we think it would be analyzed about as follows: Mote _ is from the Latin word moveo, to move. The prefix pro, primarily means forward; therefore promote means to move forward. The prefix . de, denotes a moving from; separation; and often expresses a negative. Therefore ‘‘demote’’ ought to mean to move backward, and we guess that is about what Al. Burrows meant when he coined: and used the word. We wish, however, he would use good, plain English in the future, and relieve us from improving upon . Noah Webster—for the edification of the Bee. The Alleged Assurances of the President to Citizens of the South. Wasuineton, March 26th,—Concerning the alleged assurances \of the President to Southern gentlemen, invalving the withdrawal of troops from the Oapitols of Louisiana and South Carolina, there is authority to say that the President has given no assurances of immediate action on that subjeet. In all cases he has said that the gravity of the questions required caution and delibération, and hence the recent letter to Govern, ors Chumberlain aud Hampton inviting them to Washington. It is further.stated .in officjal quarters that previous to the President's inauguration he meditated sending a Commission to Louisiana, © “hia room at the Exchange Hotel, ‘pain from his injuries yesterday, but breast. ‘The robbers got uo booty.

Deapwoop, March 26th.—A— bold attempt’ to rob the Cheyenne and Black Hills stage was made here this evening. As the coach was coming down Whitewood canyon, and about. two and a half miles from Deadwood, five masked men, walking . denly ordered the driver to stop and instantly commenced firing on the coach, ~At the first fire Jobuuy. Slaughter, the.driver, was killed, and Walter Iler of Deadwood, slightly wounded in the hand and arm, The} horses started suddenly, throwing the} driver, Iler and another passenger off the coach. The stage was not stopped until it arrived in town, leaving the driver on the road dead, About twenty shots were fired at the coach, but all the passengers, except Iler, were unhurt. A party went out and found the body of the driver, with a charge of buckshot in his suit of the road agents. The Sheriff offers a reward of $500 for them, dead or alive. . ; CrieoratRa’s NeepLe.—Cleopatra's Needle is to be removed at last from Alexandria to England, and -the following account of the method to be The sand is to becleared away and the obelisk set square parallel with fhe existing sea wall. An iron cylinder, finished off to a chisel edge, with sofficieht diaphragm to@ive it strength, is to be constructed: round the obelisk, which is to lie in the long axis of the cylinder, and to be through the diaphragms so as to divide the oylinder into. watertight compartments. The cylinder is to be ninety-five feet long by fifteen diameter, and will have a draft of nine feet of wa ter when afloat. All being riyeted™ watertight, it will be rolled into the Se4 and across the sandy bed of the watertillit floats. It will then be turned over and the man holes at the top opened and about thirty tons of ballast put in to keep the ends vertical, so as to act like stem and stern, It will then have two bilge keels, a rudder, ligh t spar-deck,: mast and lug sails attached, and be provided with an anchor and good chain cables, and if necessary, a pump in case of leakage. The cylinder ship * will then be fit to go to any port of the world with its freight, and in any weather. The cost of this operation will amount toabout $15,000. The obeisk in its case will be towed over during the Summer months and laid aside the Thames embankment on a platform properly prepared for the purpose and lifted high euough to clear the parapet, and the. bilge keels and other additions being stripped off, the cylinder will be rolled to the proposed site and then stripped off the obelisk, which will lie ready to be elevated to its pedestal, an operation which will be simply effected by means of a few balks of timber and two small hydraulic rams. The whole cost ia not‘to exceed $50,000, and that of the obelisk at Paris is said‘to have been $40,000. ° Cronim is not wholly useless, He has wou, for his clients, an importan; lawsuitin' Oregon.

State School Superintendent Carr has, in answer to certain questions recently propounded by an~intesjor County Superintendent, promulgated the following opinions,. which have been concurred in by ‘Attorney General Hamilton: +4, Is it within the power of County Boards to refuse to issue certificates , upon #ertificstes -from—otber counties; or, is the law mandatory? Rep!y—It is. The law is not mandatory. Tbe language is: The Board may, etc.'’ (Seesec. BTA, div. 5.) : ve 2. “Are city certificates valid outside of the cities within which they are issued?’ Reply—No. 1,793.) 3. *Is the holder of a First Grade County certificate eligible to te:ch. schools which have advanced gradés represented; or, in other words, is not a Fir-t Grade County equal, in every respect, to an educational Diploma, time excepted?’Reply—No, The holders of a First Grade County certificate are eligible to teach only in Grammar School grades. ‘‘Advanced giades,”’ including the High Sehvol grades, require the Educational Diploma. (Seesec. 1,754 and 1,771.)4, ‘What is the opinion of the Attorney Geteral,on the renewal of First Grade County certificates?’’ — Reply—There is nolegal provision forsuch renewal, (Seesec. 1,785. ) 5. Can a Deputy Superintendent act.as-chairman of tue Board of Examination?’’ Reply —Yes,-if the Superintendent. is eligible to act as such, (See section 1,769.) ° 6, ‘‘Is a Board composed: of less than three members-a legal Board?’’ Reply—No; three.isthe least number that constitutes a Guorum,~ Work for the Buys and Girls. The Placer Herald says: It is sometimes said that our California boys are hoodlums, and our girls will not work. Weure inclined to think the reason our boys get into trifling habits, and the reason our girls do not work, is more from a lack of opportunily than from a. lack of disposition on their part. Our Alden factory, in course of erection, promises employment to both boys and girls, and however poor hands the boys may make, there has certainly been no lack on their partin seeking the positions. They all seem proud to think the opportunity for steady employment will soon be presented. Tho girls alzo are stepping bravely to the front. Already Agnes Fogarty, Clara Gordon, Ella Tigler and Anvie Geilach, four young girls, have made application for positions, and we doubt not, when the time comes, there will be plenty of boys and girls ready and willing to work, and good ones to. Dispose of the Chinamen, and you would svon see what the boys and girls can do. (See sec, 1,792 and The Bulldozers at Work, The North San Juan Times of last Saturday says: We are informed by a responsible party that there are notices posted _on a tree. in front of thefesidence of Madame Mashague, on Kate Hayes Flat, between Birchville and French Corral, directed to V. G. Bell, George D. McLean and George E. Yates, notifying them to discharge all Chinamen in their employ on or before the 20th of March, and if they did not, their lives and .property would be in danger, or words to that effect. Nonames were signed to the notices. The parties named in the notice didn’t scare worth a cent. They pursued the even tenor of their way, regardless of threats. The Caucasiaas here disclaim sugéh action. ‘hey say it crept into the society may be the authors of the notices, but the organigation don't approve of it. Wethink it stands the organization in hand to weed out all such scoundrels, if there are aby such Withiu its ranks, ‘Idiocy. This is one of the forms of idiocy which appear in Democratic papers: ‘‘Suppose Tilden, after being electrated, and had then appoisated Key Postmaster General, would: not the ery of ex-Confederate have arisen from every Radical throst, and would they not have pretended to mourn that the country was falling into the hands of those who fought against it? Certainly this would have been the case; and what would it have proven? Simply that Radicalism is the worst form of hypocrisy.’’ : er had been a man, and had married the Queen of Sheba? What would that haye proved?. Simply that it man, and that he was the worst sort of a hypocrite.— Sac. Bee.

Netaeda County is Republican. Politicians in both parties seem to be actuated by the same motives, and what Democratic politicians do in Colnsa County, their party being in the majority, Republican politicians Hence the following advice from the Colusa Sun to the Democracy of that ecunty, we think can be profitably given to the Republicans of this county. Itis thist “*At the beginaing, we wish to remind one and all of the fact--which some seem to lose sight of—that the party owes notbing to any one. Politieal parties are necessary to the existence of a government by the people, and the people joinin with ’parties according as they think the printo the good of the. country. To keep up the organization, there must be’ some sort of discipline; and hence the necessity ‘cf carrying it into such small affairs as county offices. There are some men who go for one party or the other, for personal_ends,.and when they do not fare well they try ganization, When a ‘party Las a large majority there is more dauiger. of this than when the vote is small. Let —Democrats; ‘then, -be of the lookout for this. to serve a party is to put honest. and competent men in nomination from the highest to thelowest.’ Never let a Democrat give way for a moment to tha idéw that this one or that ove ought to have this or that office because of some fancied service, or because the person has been spoken of sq often -place; but let ability and honesty be the sole guide. much for the organization as all-the candidates combined, but the party owes us nothing, We have done all we could in politics from_a_firm-conviction of right, and he who has not ed with a fat office for voting the ticket, should be left severely alone. It is the duty, then, of those who do not desire office to see to it that all things are conducted on the square; that good and competent men got for their particular aggrandisement, but for the purpose of keeping intact the smaller organizatiqns, which go to make up the great one. We must lose sight of the individuals in this and work for an—end. —We-do not keep up our organization for the purpose of using it to make any person rich, We all understand this, but in excitement are too apt to lose sight by a personal-squabble. So far as the; Assemblyman is the most important officer we have toelect. Let there be no trickery in this.””” > +e The Written Pledges of Senater Matthews and Representative Crvorynatr, March 26th.—The Times this morning, speaking of the alléged written pledges of Senator -Matthews-and_Kepresentative Foster that the Hampton and Nichols governmeénts would not be disturbed, says: ‘‘We feel warranted in saying that the letter referred to contains neither the tertns of any bargain nor any pledge on behalf of the Presipersonal assurance of the authors of their own opinions,’’ The Times promises to publish Stanley Matthews’ letter to-morrow.

As the coach was coming down Whitewood canyon, and about. two and a half miles from Deadwood, five masked men, walking . denly ordered the driver to stop and instantly commenced firing on the coach, ~At the first fire Jobuuy. Slaughter, the.driver, was killed, and Walter Iler of Deadwood, slightly wounded in the hand and arm, The} horses started suddenly, throwing the} driver, Iler and another passenger off the coach. The stage was not stopped until it arrived in town, leaving the driver on the road dead, About twenty shots were fired at the coach, but all the passengers, except Iler, were unhurt. A party went out and found the body of the driver, with a charge of buckshot in his suit of the road agents. The Sheriff offers a reward of $500 for them, dead or alive. . ; CrieoratRa’s NeepLe.—Cleopatra's Needle is to be removed at last from Alexandria to England, and -the following account of the method to be The sand is to becleared away and the obelisk set square parallel with fhe existing sea wall. An iron cylinder, finished off to a chisel edge, with sofficieht diaphragm to@ive it strength, is to be constructed: round the obelisk, which is to lie in the long axis of the cylinder, and to be through the diaphragms so as to divide the oylinder into. watertight compartments. The cylinder is to be ninety-five feet long by fifteen diameter, and will have a draft of nine feet of wa ter when afloat. All being riyeted™ watertight, it will be rolled into the Se4 and across the sandy bed of the watertillit floats. It will then be turned over and the man holes at the top opened and about thirty tons of ballast put in to keep the ends vertical, so as to act like stem and stern, It will then have two bilge keels, a rudder, ligh t spar-deck,: mast and lug sails attached, and be provided with an anchor and good chain cables, and if necessary, a pump in case of leakage. The cylinder ship * will then be fit to go to any port of the world with its freight, and in any weather. The cost of this operation will amount toabout $15,000. The obeisk in its case will be towed over during the Summer months and laid aside the Thames embankment on a platform properly prepared for the purpose and lifted high euough to clear the parapet, and the. bilge keels and other additions being stripped off, the cylinder will be rolled to the proposed site and then stripped off the obelisk, which will lie ready to be elevated to its pedestal, an operation which will be simply effected by means of a few balks of timber and two small hydraulic rams. The whole cost ia not‘to exceed $50,000, and that of the obelisk at Paris is said‘to have been $40,000. ° Cronim is not wholly useless, He has wou, for his clients, an importan; lawsuitin' Oregon.

State School Superintendent Carr has, in answer to certain questions recently propounded by an~intesjor County Superintendent, promulgated the following opinions,. which have been concurred in by ‘Attorney General Hamilton: +4, Is it within the power of County Boards to refuse to issue certificates , upon #ertificstes -from—otber counties; or, is the law mandatory? Rep!y—It is. The law is not mandatory. Tbe language is: The Board may, etc.'’ (Seesec.

The Placer Herald says: It is sometimes said that our California boys are hoodlums, and our girls will not work. Weure inclined to think the reason our boys get into trifling habits, and the reason our girls do not work, is more from a lack of opportunily than from a. lack of disposition on their part. Our Alden factory, in course of erection, promises employment to both boys and girls, and however poor hands the boys may make, there has certainly been no lack on their partin seeking the positions. They all seem proud to think the opportunity for steady employment will soon be presented. Tho girls alzo are stepping bravely to the front. Already Agnes Fogarty, Clara Gordon, Ella Tigler and Anvie Geilach, four young girls, have made application for positions, and we doubt not, when the time comes, there will be plenty of boys and girls ready and willing to work, and good ones to. Dispose of the Chinamen, and you would svon see what the boys and girls can do. (See sec, 1,792 and The Bulldozers at Work, The North San Juan Times of last Saturday says: We are informed by a responsible party that there are notices posted _on a tree. in front of thefesidence of Madame Mashague, on Kate Hayes Flat, between Birchville and French Corral, directed to V.

Netaeda County is Republican. Politicians in both parties seem to be actuated by the same motives, and what Democratic politicians do in Colnsa County, their party being in the majority, Republican politicians Hence the following advice from the Colusa Sun to the Democracy of that ecunty, we think can be profitably given to the Republicans of this county. Itis thist “*At the beginaing, we wish to remind one and all of the fact--which some seem to lose sight of—that the party owes notbing to any one. Politieal parties are necessary to the existence of a government by the people, and the people joinin with ’parties according as they think the printo the good of the. country. To keep up the organization, there must be’ some sort of discipline; and hence the necessity ‘cf carrying it into such small affairs as county offices. There are some men who go for one party or the other, for personal_ends,.and when they do not fare well they try ganization, When a ‘party Las a large majority there is more dauiger. of this than when the vote is small. Let —Democrats; ‘then, -be of the lookout for this. to serve a party is to put honest. and competent men in nomination from the highest to thelowest.’ Never let a Democrat give way for a moment to tha idéw that this one or that ove ought to have this or that office because of some fancied service, or because the person has been spoken of sq often -place; but let ability and honesty be the sole guide. much for the organization as all-the candidates combined, but the party owes us nothing, We have done all we could in politics from_a_firm-conviction of right, and he who has not ed with a fat office for voting the ticket, should be left severely alone. It is the duty, then, of those who do not desire office to see to it that all things are conducted on the square; that good and competent men got for their particular aggrandisement, but for the purpose of keeping intact the smaller organizatiqns, which go to make up the great one. We must lose sight of the individuals in this and work for an—end. —We-do not keep up our organization for the purpose of using it to make any person rich, We all understand this, but in excitement are too apt to lose sight by a personal-squabble.
