Bas ag ohn Quincy Adams. evidently bes lieves that ero Democracy is not what it oufht to. be, Speaking of that} party. in-a letter to ‘a Southera Demo-~ cratic gentleman, he says:~. “The North can never be carried for a new revolution. We must go ferward, and. not back. .We. must demand self government for all,and guar: antee equal rights to every man, Demoérats must be Democratic to succéed.” It will-be noted that John Quincy Adam3 does not tell his Democratic friends they must ‘‘go forward” because it.is right'so to.do, but because such a course alone will insure success. A desire to win, and not patriotism is at the bottom of this sentiment, and in the way he puts it, the Democratic party is forced to be Democratic, Mr. Mr. Adams is a shrewd man, and he sees the danger to the success of his party in the course of the Blairites,who tion, and in the attempt to annul the amendments to the Constitution by the party everywhere. ‘The “‘soscalled Amendments,” in order to secure Democratic success, must be accepted, according to Mr. Adams, for ie says: “We must-demand self government tor all, and equal -rightsto every man,” and, says Mr. Adams, “this is neces_ sary to secure success.” Will the party accept the situation as advised by this Democratic states» man? Can the party, which for years degraded labor to the condition of Slavery, and then warred upon the nation to perpetuate the institution, be induced by Mr. Adams to accord “equal. rightsito all men?” ~The party, when “the nation was struggling to maintain: its existence against. the then Vonfederacy, the corner stone of which was slavery, which opposed taxation, dis--eouraged enlistments, and then on the eve of victory. pronounced the war a failure and demanded a cessation of hostilities, can never become Demos cratic in the true sense of the word. The party, which to-day is excusing * and apologizing for the aysassination of men by armed bands of robbers in the South, for opinion’s sake,and which denounces and opposes every effort of the Government to protect citizens in their freedom of speech, and in their lives and enjoyment of property, is not the party to ‘guarantee equal rights to every man,” and in attempting to Democratize Democracy, Mr. Adams has undertaken a “new revolution,” in which success is impossible. The Democrats who come up to the standard of Mr. Adams, can only find such Democracy in the Republican ranks. THE New York Zimes tell us that legislation in Dakota has-been embarrassed by a curious telegraphicmiss take. Aspecial session of the Legisture was called by the Governor, and the opinion of the Attorney-General of the United States asked as to its legality. The opinion was that the svssiOn was unauthorized. But somewhere on the way between Washington and Yankton, the un was lost from the message: so that when reaching : “The Attorney General is of the opinion that the special session is authorized.” Act~ ing on.this information the Legislature met, and’ passed a law authorizing the Territorial Governor it read towns to vote a tax in aid of railroads. When this had -been done;'a niessage was received. correcting the first, atid the Governor’ and: Legislature discovered that their action could not, be maintained.” Congress will be asked to make a proceedings valid. ys MANTA for hunting on. our Western Plains seems to have seized upon “many ‘Englishmen of rank, and there are riiiora of 1 the ‘prospective coming hither, within the next two years, of at least a.dozen sciona of, noble families, to shoot grouse, antelopes, bears and buffaloes! A Scotch ’jourtial intimates that the main object of all this visiting’ the United States fatohant or American wives. A LEGISLATURE Ku-KLuxrep.—The Cingonati Commercial i eat & q jovrval of mod¢rate and fautious views, and also as one ot unusual enterprise, Since the’ KusKlux discussions it has ‘published an extensive correspondence fromthe Southern States, the letters betiig written in’ a temper of candor) and evidently with’ne disposition what. ders. In its issue a few days ugo, the Commercial published a letter setting forth the effort of Republicans and some Democrats in the Kentucky Legs islature to enact an effective law to suppress Ku-Klux atrocities in that State, andthe reasons for its failure. The statements made carry their own: evidence of substantial truthfulness, and are most significant.and suggestive. They show that Ku-Klux ters rorism was brought directly to bear.to defeat the bill in the Legislature. The very circumstances that should the more have enforced its passage operated to frustrate it. Kentucky is Democratic; and her: Ku-Klox-can-fiad syms= pathy enough und create supplemental, terror enough to, crush attempted legis lation against them! To persons of . reflection this single fact speaks vo)umes as to the truthfulness of the reports of Ku-Klux outrages denied in Congress and elsewhere. When such a condition of things exs ists in a State, says the Missouri Demorat, substantially indicative of the sits . uation throughout extensive districts of the whole South; when the reign of law is overthrown and ademonism no words can depict is rampant ; when every human right is -brutally trampled into the mire—what is to be thought of the partisan _press_that-arraigns the suppression of such diabolism as a crime against justice and liberty ?— What is to be thought of that interpretation to the Constitution that would leave hell to work ‘its will in the vosom of the nation? What is to be thought of that hostility to the President—whose most sacred duty is to maintain security for life, liberty and property—that libels him as a despot, because he would interfere with such measureless scoundrelism ? THE ViInTAGE PRosPecT.—Parties thoroughly conversant with the wine interests of California, says the Bulletin, after receiving advices from all the large grape producing districts, are of the opinion that the prospect for the vintége is better this season than ever before. The number of new vines coming into bearing is very large, and the old ones everywhere are looking finely, the grapes having already “set” perfectly, and no damage having been done anywhere by frost or floods. In most localities the dunger of damage by frost is entirely passed for the seas son, and there is no likelihood of injury to any considerable exteft being done . hereafter te Sny lecality. The danger from frost is considered over by the 15th of May in all parts of the State ; and this being to some extent an exceptional season, late frosts are not looked for. The dry Winter and dessicating winds which have recently been so disastrous to the growing grain crops, have not affected the vines in the Jeast. Rains within the next two weeks might possibly slightly increase the size and quantity of the grapes, but would not increase the quality, as a dry season is rather faverable than otherwise.to the development.of saccharine ‘matter and delicate flavor in the grape. Experts differ in. their ess timates of the coming vintage, the lowest figare named. being 8,000,000 gallons, and the highest 12,000. There is reason to WelieVe that the vintage ot California: in 1871-will not,faii mach under 10,000,000. gallons, and as prices promise to be remunerative, we shall: thus in part, at least, make up for the’ deficiency of our grain crop.

The selections were in excellent taste. ‘The calling was dope by Sam. Bliven. The reception committee and floor managers who were on duty, faithfully labored to-make the party pleasant, and no visitor from abroad was neglected.

This enterprising firm will solve ‘by an-extensive practical test one of the most impertant agricultural problems in which the State is interested. The ground selected for this experiment is a portion of the large ranch ot H. F. Buckley & Brother, on the Merced river. The soil is chiefly a black sandy loam, although the tract varies sufficiently to embrace several varieties. The ground was ploughed five inches deep some three or four months ago. It is now ploughed a second tiie as the seed is planted, About eight and a halt tons of Dixon cotton seed was received from the Southern States and is used as preferable to that of any Other variety. The work of planting was commenced last week. ‘I'wo one-herse plows are kept going to mark the ground, and two others to cover the seed. One man follows each plow and deposits the seed as regularly as possible in the furs row. The rows are platted four feet apart. Mr. Buckley, who arrived io room for inore. From the gallery the hall presented a brilliant appearance as the couples were gliding along in the dance. The ladies, as ladies al~ ways.are, were charming, and were it not that “Jenkins” has deserted us we might be tempted to give a description of some of the elegant costumes. Among the guests we noticed a number of ladies and gentlemen from Grass Valley. Visitors were also present from Bridgeport, Little York, Eureka and other townships in the county, and from San Francisco and other parts. of the State. The party continued until one o'clock, and at its conclusion everyone present left only regteting that there couldn’t be one more dance, _ oard of Supervisors. The following bills were. allowed by the Board of Supervisors yesterday : General Fund—B. F. Harris, Constable tees, $109 34; John Caldwell, Justice's fees, $2850; J.E.P.

George Schaffer, granted license to collect tolls on the bridge across the Truckee, in town of Truckee. The Dickinson Rink, We understand that the Dickinson Rink will shortly be opened at Tems perance Hall, the proprietor having secured that building for a rink. THE Philadelphia Inquirer, in referring to Captan Hall’s projected Arctic expedition, for which active preparations are being made, takes the ground that the “prospects of compensation are not commensurate with the risks . to life and health that must be encountered; and that Arctic explorations, though there have been many during the last quartér of a century, have added little or nothing te our store of scientific attainments, and, though one or two of the explorers claim to have found an open polar: sea; the evidence ot any one having done so is not at all satisfactory or conclusive.’ The Jn quirer concludes that “science may excuse this North Pole hunting madness, but humanity and common sense must protest agaiust it.” The comitercial ambition of Galvess ton is busy with the problem of railroad Communication. There ate half a dozen projects, but Galveston cons siders her “strong holt’ the’ Céntral Transit route, planned to run straight as the crow flies to Meridi:n, Miss., and expected to cut Houston dat of all trade and travel of any value.

Peck and others io this experiment, they are determined to spare no pains or expense necessary: to make a thorough test of the adaptation of our soil and climute to cotton culture. As two acres of cotton raised last year in the immediate vicinity--yielded largely there can scarcely bea doubt as to entire success this season.
