At the recent election in the State of Old Mita the party culling it. ‘self Conservative, though really the: -Democratic party, was successful. They elected their Governor, all the Btate officers, and a majority of the mémbers to, the Strate Legislature.

Senator from that Btate and amember of Jeff Davis’ cabinet imthe Southern Confederacy, jee prominent onndulate tor thesposi= tion, with a very fuir prospect of success, Atall events it ‘is presumed . He has been , muking “speeches which he hopes: will aid bise materially: in the accomplishment of his object, and strengthen: him with the peo‘ple’s representatives. Tle takes the position that itis th@ duty. of Congress.to wake restitution to the forlier slave owners for Slave preperty emancipated by the proclamation of President Lincoln and lost during Ho /proThe Suicide Affair.The folowing ftom.the Grass Valley Union, explains the suicide -affair spoken ofin last. Sinday’s €ranscarpt: ‘‘On Thursday last, aot Armistead Millenor the father OF Mrs, Stewart died. The remains were duly prepared. for burial, and among other things the deceased . was~ shaved. ~The razor used was placed upon a shelf in the room in which were the’rémains of Mr. Miilenor. Debbie Stewart, aged about 17 years, ; daughter -of Mrs, Stewart and grand-daughter of the deceased,’ ~~ secntedthe razor—and-concented—it‘in hér pocket. Thursday night the girl retired. and slept. in the. same . bed with her motlier. ‘Friday morning, a little before day, , the family . Lwasalartned" by _ the _ discoyery~ that Debbie hdd used the razor on her throat, cutting a yhastly wound from Year-to-eat, but not severing a jugular vein. ‘Dr, McConnel.ef Smartsville was hastily summoned und answered promptly to ‘the call. He -dresséd’ the wound, and at last accounts the girl was still alive; but little hopes are entertained of her recovery, The strangest part of the story is the is stated>to us that Mrs. Stewart, the +tnother,-bad—been_ receiving letters for some time past, from & man who is low in Utah, buf’ wlio was onces poses that Congress shall appropriate $400,000,000 to the people of the ~ South who Jost slaves, to be divided among the late slave holders in pro‘portion to the ‘sumber of © slaves emancipated within: the borders of each State, In the meantime the money to be divided is ta, be depositod with sach'State, . This proposition is endorsed by the Richmond Whig and other papers of the South, and the scheme will undoubtedly be urged in Congress, if there is a probability that it may suceced, The Whig, in endorsjug Hunter's proposition, says:! _ “Phe Bonthern representative who fuils to urge the claims of our despoiled people in pfoper season, will he recreant to his uly ahd faithless to ‘the trust reposed in him.” This is just how if is. Trust the legislation of the country to the old slave owners and their sympathisers in iniquity, and we would soon have a debt of $400,000,000 added to the overwhelniing debt which now hangs like an incubus upon the necks of the people. The slaves were emancipated.as..a. work of necessity as well as of merey. The South voluntarily submitted the question of owneship of slaves to _ « the hazards of war, and, having lost, it should accept the ‘result, The South brought. upon our Government the great debt with. which it is overwhelmed, andit should be thankful that the Government has dealt so leviently with its people, without attempting to saddle an additional debt.upen the. shoulders of the North that mever did-the South an injustice. . There is another scheme afloat, whichis, #0 have the General Government assume the debts of the Southern States, amounting to many This echeme is urged by of the impoverished condition of the Boathang its people, and because,as they aayNit: will have a tendency of untied theNorth and the South in the bands of matrimony, and make peace belween them. This scheme is ‘as ‘distastful as the other, if not more so, .The e North, aud by so doing pontracted debts. to the amount of hundreds of. millions of dollars. They lost. The North) to win, contracted a debt of over $300,000,000, ‘which the people are paying cheerfully. In consequence “ofthe Rebellion many of the States "of the North became » heavily involved ‘iu debt, as well aa the Stateggf the South. Now if the pe sition is entertained for the Govertment to assume the debta of the Southern State, we shall insist that it shall assume also the debts of the Northern States, and this will wake the thing qual, This being accomplished the neXt move will be te have-the Gov“etument assume the payment of the cotton another articles of Southern industry, captured and. confiscated, during the warNinclndiag the value of the Alabama, ‘suk by: the Kear. aarge, Ig will be well for the\pe ple to e that mo man is ejected to Congress tho favors sach propositions. > & Bonaxo county y woman == SN } into the ehicken business Isst year, coltaipsid $900 during the year, Zz employed on her ranch. These etters threatened Mrs. Stewart with death, by cutting her throat, unless she would consent-to marry him. He ‘evidently had an eye to thé tanch. Mr. Stewart owns, which is one of the very finest in Nevada county, These letters were, kept-from Deb« bie’s knowledge as all, thought, but ou Thursday shé got hold of one of thom and read it through.» She was so alarmed at the tone of. it,~being morbidly sensitive by nature,she concluded to put herself out of the way of trotible. Her staf of mind was no ) doubt, also, partly-formed by supp the name of the writer of the shieatcatcs letters for ob¥ious~ reasons, Debbie Stewart isa pure and good girl:’’ ~ Grass Valley, We spent one day last week at Grass Valley, looking after the interests of the Transcript. -Our business required us to make a general tour of the town, which we did -in ‘company with our friend ©; Taylor, who took great pains in showing us everything worth seeing. Fro: obsefvation, we do not hesitate to say that Grass Valley is one of the most chafming places to be found’in ‘this State. Its houses will compare favorably with those of any town of equal size anywliere. Its churches and school houses are superb, and its-‘stores of all kinds are filled to overflowing with the best goods to be found in the Eastern markets. One +anust go through the different stores at Grags Valley'to appreciate them. : Grass Valley has aw excellent printing offive, from which there_js issued duily the Union newspaper. “Ita editorisa No.1 writer, albéitsometimes he shirks his duty.

We remember the. time when the Union was [oud motithed in support of Mr, Sargent, That was when the ple that, the election of Mr, Sargent ‘to the Senate would be . deleterious to the interests of fhe‘ people. Although we have never been a warm . supporter of Mr, Sargent, truth comsound sense in that ‘bullet head”’ of hig thaw there is in the fcombined heads of a owners and editors of the Union.* We desire to see Gov.
