THE NEVADA JOURNAL. 7 eee FRIDAY MORNING, MARCHi, 1861. Necroes 1x New Yorx.—The Jast census shows there are 10,831 colored persons in New York city. But thirty-two of these are married to white persons, and not one ease occurs of a marriage between a white man andablack woman. Of the thirty-two eases of intermarriage, but one northern woman has married a colored husband, while two cases occur of southern born women marrying blacks,and all the remaining cases are foreigners, save one, who was born on the sea. During the late canvass a few unprincipled sheets in this State published pretended cases of intermarriages between whites and blaeks in the northern states, and endeavyored to show thereby that such were the legitimate fruits of Republicanism cartied out, and that the north was debased. The census of New York city which is probably a fair criterion of the north exhibits the fact that out of the few southern boru women in that city compared with the northern born, twice as many of the former have married negroes as of the latter, and but three cases occur in all. We do not produce these facts to disparage the women of the south, but to show that so far as amalgamation of the races is concerned the north, judging by the facts produced, is as clear of theimputation as possible. When two or three journals we might name, in this State, shall publish hereafter amalgamation items, for political purposes, it will . be well for them, for the sake of truth and honesty, to examine the record. Such items have done much to create a feeling of contempt in the people from one section against those of the ether, the practical results of . which are now being felt ina discordant . Cnion. Simoxton writes to the Bulletin that Washburn has no show for the Custom House. A strong money influence, he says, is at work for J. C. Birdseye. Sam Bell has withdrawn in favor of Rankia.— Simonton appeared to favor the latter, and says, as fitness will be the test under Lincoln and as Rankin is acknowledged to be eminently qualified for the place, and is recommended by the teaviest mercantile firms of San Francisco, his chances are best. Capt. Thomas Gray is another candidate for the Custom House, and B. W. Hathaway has been written to by Sullivan to come on for the purpose of becoming a compromise candidate. Sam Bell, ceasing to strive for the collectorshin, is an applicant for the Navy Agency. Col. Fremont favors T. J. L. Smiley for the same position. Col. Butler wants the Mint, but Col. Baker’s son-in-law, Stevens, has the inside track. WY: Patch, W. B. Farwell, Cheeseman and Dr. Gunn are candidates for the Naval Office. Dr. McLean stands high for Surveyor of the Port. J. A.Nunes and James MeShafter are applicants for Surveyor General but the Bulletin correspondent seems to think that neither are formidable. The report of the Washington correspondent of the Bulletin is to be taken, perhaps, cum grand salis,as he is in the Rankin interest. Mvsic—Patriotic Music.—Gray & Herwig, of San Francisco, have sent us 2 piece of patriotic music, entitled “ United Forever;” words by T. G. Spear; music composed by Geo. T. Evans, the celebrated pianist. The words we like. A specimen, we give: Oh, wherefore that ery on the pitiless gale, Of secession and ruin, and States in dissension ? Is the league of our fathers beginning to fail? _ Have their children lost sight of their god-like intention ? : Has the work most divine cf all human design Ceased to animate men Or keep States from decline? Ah, no! it still lives, and forbids them to sever Their American freedom and Union forever ! Fair Gem of the West ! California, shine In that cluster of stars, without stain of Disun10n, And never be writ on eseutcheon of thine, An act that denies thee a nation’s communion. Still hold on thy way. As benign in thy sway As the evening star on the west verge of day, Miluming the path of fraternal endeavor For America, Freedom and Union forever— Marching on! Marehing on! In the vanguard of nations forever! If the music is as good as the words we'll have it sung every evening or—get a divorce. Finiixe up or cuarpine Suarts.—A correspondent suggests the passage of a law compelling all persons who sink shafts within the corporation limits of a city or town, or legal bounds of a public highway, to enclose them substantially, cover them up, or make them secure in some manner against travelers. As frequent cases oceur of persons falling into shafts, we think the suggestion a good one decidedly. He complains also, of other evils ; but if he will examine the statutes he will find them all provided for. The fault he would ramedy lies in the want of execution of the laws, rather than in the want of the laws themselves. Perhaps we ought rather to say the fault lies in public sentiment. Tue 22p 1x San Francisco.--The 22d was a gala day in San Francisco. Guns were fired, national airs were played, flags were out, and Col. Crockett, Eugene Casserly, Edward Stanly, . Judge Lake, and other gentlemen, made eloquent and patriotic speeches. T. Starr King lectured on the life and character of Washington in the, evening at Tucker’s Hall, in which he gave the secessionists severe home thrusts.— Washington’s birth day was made by the San Franciscans as much a national hotiday as the fourth of July. So it should be. Picrvres.—We have received from H. H. Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, two elegant engravings published by the Cosmopolitan Art Association —“ Shakspeare and his friends,” and the “Village Blacksmith.” The merits of these pictures have been thoroughly canvassed by almost every bedy in town. Tar Staue Tax Uscoystitutionat.—The Supreme Court of the United States has declared the Stamp act of this State unconstitutional. A ‘source ef revenue to the State is thus dried up. Free Neeroes tx ALABAMA.—The Senate of Alabama has passed a bill requiring all free negroes to leave that State by the Ist of January, 1862, or in default, be sold into slavery. J. C. Peuton has been appointed by Gov Downey, atrustee of the State Reform School at Marysville, in place of H. S. Foushee, lately deceased. Gor. Foote writes to the Louisgjlle Journal that he is not the whole-hog secessionist he has been represented tobe. Give the devil his due. Sexator Dovetas has introduced a new fugitive slave law, which provides for giving tke slave a trial after capture, in the State whence he fied ; and it also authorizes the owner of any fugitive slave, when through violence or intimidation he cannot be recovered, to sue for his yaiue in the Court of Claims, and recover the same from the United States ; and it repeals the obnoxious features of the present laws on that subject whrch relate to harboring or protecting puch yunaways, a } soundness of such logic may be appreciated REPLY TO MR. BRIERLY. Having established, as we think, conclusively, from the same and other equally high authority, that Mr. Brierly relied on, that the American Constitution has nothing whatever todo with religion, we propese devoting the briefest space possible to his . long letters, published in the two last numbers of this paper. A great many questions arise which we . will be obliged to pass by silently for want of the necessary space, and because their discussion would not interest the public in the least, and what we do notice shall be) done as curtly as we know how to compress the language. We are willing to concede that the institutions of the colony of Maryland were rot as liberal as we once thought they were. It is acommon error into which the majority of the American people, ourselves among the number, have fallen. we appreciate one benefit from the controyersy in which we find ourselves engaged. The fact at which we have arrived is not, In its correction however, of any importance to the argument, Mr. Brierly complains, too, that we blundered in saying he said 20,000 bibles in 1782, Holland Scotland. were imported from and andfpartially corrected in an after sentence where we wrote, “ sought to be imported.” We now proceed to answer such of his objections as we deem of sufficient importance to justify it. express our surprise that one who assumes to teach the powers of the Constitution should jumble up the State and National governments, as he does in his discussions. But before doing so we must Mr. Brierly returns to the fact, as one of great importance, that Congress ordered an importation of bibles in 1777, and urges it as a proof that a government formed vears . afterwards and by almost entirely other The men, is committed to Christianity ! by others, but we confess our inability to Hlow the Constitution of the United States, formed by sixty-two deleconcur. gates, should take its character from, or be made responsible for, the acts of twelve of them, twelve years before, while acting as representatives under another government, is beyond our “early action,” as Mr. Brierly calls it, he says “shows more conclusively than a later comprehension, yet this one could do, what was the original bias of the founders of the government.” <A sufficient answer to this is already given, viz: that the men who sought to import bibles were not the founders of the government, but a very small share of them. Perhaps the whole twelve may haye voted against the importation—we have no means at hand for learning. But admitting his assumption to be true, is it not possible for a body of Christians, as the convention that formed the Constitution is not proved to have been, to deprive the government they were constructing of all power over religion, leaving it where the matter might be reached more readily, to State regulation? The possibility was demonstrated in an act by the framers of the Constitution, as we have shown ina previous article. They brought religion nearer home by saving all dealings with it to themselves in a local govyernment. As considerable stress is laid upon the} fact that an old Continental Congress sought } to import bibles, we will give our opponent the full benefit of all and more than he can make of the act. done under the present Constitution, and Suppose the act had been that it was constitutional, can any one demonstrate that the importation of any other book instead would be unconstitutional? If he can, that clause in the Con. stitution where the authority is found has been sadly overlooked by every student of the American government. Would the importation of bibles by the present Congress The error was unintentional, . goto prove the American government a Christian government, or that it vastly preferred the Christian religion overany other? . Does . this prove that the American Government committs itself in favor of that insect in Congress imports the Italian bee. preference to the common bee ? or that it prefers Italian bee honey to molasses ?— What power is there anywhere to prevent the United States government from furnishing the District of Columbia, and every fort and dock-yard in the country, and every vessel in the nary, with a library, in . which shall be found the religious books of every nation and people on earth? Mr. Brierly argued in a lecture that the importation of bibles was evidence that the American government was a Christian goyernment, and said :f it had desired to recegnize Judaism the old Testament alone . would have been imported. He also went farther and produced the fact that prayers were called for by the early conventions and congresses, as proof that the Christian religion was only to be countenanced by the gevernment, We showed that Dr. Raphael, a Jew, had been invited to pray in the Sen. ate,asa proof that Senators thought no discrimination was tanght by the American government. Mr. Brierly admits the Senate thought a Jewish Rabbi might be invited to officiate as well as a Christian minister.— How does this comport with his deciaration that our government is committed to Chris. tianity? Is Dr. Raphael a Christian—a man who believes Christ an imposter? Weare asked, “if a Chinese ‘Josh’ had been worshipped in Washington, would the officiating priest have been invited to open a session of Congress with prayer, to his heathen God?” Of course not. Why ?— Because Congress as a body of men does not favor that sort of worship. It is a matter of taste and judgment with the members. They pay a chaplain out of a contingent fund which is under their control. They could hire a Spiritualist, a Jew, a Mormon, or anybody else, if they chose, and pay him out of the fand The question propounded is just as pertinent as to inquire why a man who abhors parsnueps does not eat parsneps when other food suits his taste better, and it does not follow that because the stomach of one man or a dozen heaves at parsneps that they aze unconstitutional. The time may come when they will be preferred. But we pass along and quote from Mr. Brierly’s last article : “Tt formed no part of my design to prove that, under our gevernment, the Chinese worship, or Mobamedan could be suppressed by law. My cena ect ese shoe ttt SAORIGA SCPE RM LE SAE NAM PTA TR MEMO TS AND SSNS SANSUI WORSE IO NR ARNIS TN renee design was to prove that our government was committed to Christianity from the first.as it was not committed to any other creel or faith That! Christianity had a re gnized ievtho'd, which . neither Infidelity, Paganism nor Mohamedan. lism had. Our government may tolerate these . things, to a certain extent, but, it does not tolerate Christianity. This is here bya right, older . and more sacred than the government itself. . Thus Christianity has given us a Sabbath, and, . a law protecting it would not violate a single j fundamental principle of our government— . while, a law abolishing it, would. Christianity has given us a standard of morals, and any . practices, growing out of any other faith, which . are contrary to this standard, can be Constitu. tionally suppressed. Mohamedanism cannot . bring its harem, Budhism its infanticide and . Suttecism, or Thughism its religious stranglings into our midst, though these are parts of their religion.” The assumption that because our government was not committed to any other creed or faith, it must be eommitted to Christianity,is a forced oue in logic, if not in fact. Toleration, we have already endeavored to ishow from Mr. Madison and the Virginia Declaration of Rights, is not the word, unless accompanied by the adjective, egual.— There is a vagueness in the declaration that . a law protecting the Sabbath would not vi. olate a single fundamental principle of our government, while a law abolishing it would. Ifa State law is meant, we concur, that it would not violate a fundamental . . principle of the general government, if it . protected the Christian Sabbath ; but we by . . no means concede that a State law abolish. ing the Sabbath would violate a fundamental principle of the Constitution. That we assert cannot be shown. Mr. Brierly falls . . on. . They evidently EFFORTS AT CONCILIATION. Ina recent debate in the United States Senate, participated in by Seward, Douglas, Mason and Hale, a spirit of fraternal kindopposite on the other. Gov. Seward, with an urbanity and moderation worthy of the man and the crisis endeavored by every means in his power as faras human language could go, to pacify and conciliate the secessionists. He was cordially sustained by Douglas, who, on this occasion at least, failed to give vent to his chagrin at his de. feat, but came up like a patriot to soothe These two distinguished Senators expressed an earnest the angry spirit of disunion. the country settled amicably and indicated a willingness and anxiety to remoye all ob. stacles in the way of a satisfactory adjust;ment as far as lay in their power. were met by no such corresponding spirit on the part of the secessionists. Mason, who was the mouth-piece of the disorganizers on the occasion, endeavored to torture the language of Gov. Seward into menaces and threats as if he did not care to see a concession made having a tendency to harmonize the ccuntry. Such it must be confessed, is too much the dispo. sition evinced by the apologists of disuniRule or ruin has been the policy in the government, and such is avowedly their determination either in er out of the Union. think their part in the drama is to demand, and the part of the into another error when he says any practices contrary to the standard of Christian . morality can be Constitutionally suppressed. . If he means constitutionally in the sense his discourses and articles indicate, we deny it, and challenge him or any other man to . show us how the general government can interfere ina State. If he means constitu. tionally in a State sense, it has no business j with the argument which only has to do . Union. He tells us in this connection that Mohammedanism cannot bring its harem, Thugism its stranglings, etc., into our midst. Very true, and why? Not on account of. an inhibiting power in the Constitution, but . because the moral seuse of the people is . established local laws . But, if Mr. Brierly will just look over the mountains he will . see the equal of the Mehammedan harem among the Mormons, and the corresponding opposed and has against such practices. Thugism in their ‘“ Destroying Angels.”— . These practices have existed for years on the soil of the United States and no effort . has been made by the government to put them down. The Mormon problem stands confessed the very ugliest one with which . we have to deal. Mormons as a State into the Union, and Congress can admit the} when once in, the wisest statesmen are baf. fled to find a single clause in the Constitu. tion by which poiygamy and the Danite!} band may be exterminated. It is conceded by a majority of the civilized world that aj} man has as gooda right to two wives as . two niggers. The religious authority relied . on to sustain slavery is also relied on to} sustain polygamy. As a State institution, either is beyond the reach of the Federal government. One more quotation frem the reverend gentleman and we are done: “ As local laws must be in accordance with . the Constitution ef the State, and of the United . States, then a law for the protection of Christi. anity, to the fullextent for which I have con. tended, is in accordance with the spirit of the . . Constitution, by your own admission.” What is attempted to be proven by this excerpt we areat alosstosay. Ifit means that we have admitted Christianity may be . protected by the Constitution, we reply, we . . . « ' have mude no such admission. If it means} that a State law protecting religion would be in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, we answer that the Constitution has nothing to do with the matter. The spirit of the Constitution is to let the . matter entirely alone. If he means that a State law for the protection of Christianity, . made to fill a blank left by the framers of) the Constitution in that instrument, is all} the protection he has ever claimed, surely . he and ourselves are manufacturing a great . many words for nothing. A New Era.—Before another issue of our paper His Imbecility will have vacated the Presidential chair, and a man of tried integrity, unsullied honor, undoubted prudence and ability succeeded him. On Mon-} day next Abraham Lincoln, called from the peaceful pursuits of private life, like an. other Cincinnatus, by his countrymen, to . assume the highest position in the world, enters upon the discharge of his high duties as President of these United States. <A} more gloomy period never intervened in The duties of a PresiAmerican history. dent are manifold and arduous at best. In the present crisis they are doubly so, requiring the utmost powers of endurance, extreme patience and assiduity, great intellect and unbaffled judgment. We haye the fullest confidence that the President elect has all the high intellectual, moral and physical qualities for the crisis he is called to meet: Since his election his course has . been such that the most ¢ynical could find in him nothing at which to cavil, and great as was the estimation in which he was held by the American people before his election, he has risen vastly since. The times are critical, the signs ominous of evil. The spirit of discord and destruction is abroad; but we have cause fer congratulation that a man ef character is abeut to head the Nation. A moral support will be given the government it has not had for vears. If the Union shall go to wreck it will not be the fault of its Chief Magistrate, and if it shall happily weather the storm as we donot doubt it will, the prudent counsels of Abraham Lincoln will go far to produce the glorious result, and and at the clese of four years service he will receive and deserve the plaudits of an an entire people. Tue Scrveror Gsnerat's Report for 1860 gives the valuation of property in this county for the last year at $578,085 less than the year previous, according to the report of the County Assesser. It will be recollected that Attorney General Wallace gave his opinion to the Assessor of this County that capital invested in mining claims might be taxed. Acting . upon this opinion$-he capital invested in. mining claims in this county was assessed . in 1859. It having been determined by . competent authority that such property was not subject to taxation, the Assessor ceased to assess it in 1860. The apparent decrease in the value of property in Nevada county, is not real. On the contrary, property in the county is gradually increasing i . north to accede. . fairs of the nation. . their wishes are fulfilled. . tary despotism which shall know no liberty . cause of liberty and humanity cherished by You accede or we'll se;cede, is the threat and the ultimatum.— .

National Government owes it to herself, to . the terrified Union loving people of the south, whose voice is hushed, and to the . all uncontaminated hearts throughout the force of arms the establishment of a/. despotism on our soil. by Prospect For NEvapaxs.—A prominent . citizen of this city informs us that he has . been permitted to read a private letter from Washington to a former Nevadan now residing in San Francisco. The letter was . dated, Feb. 8th and came by alate Pony. . In relation to the prospects of Nevadans for appointments under the incoming Administration the writer is confident that J. . C. Birdseye, has as good a show asany one for the Collectorship, and, perhaps, better. . James Churchman will be appointed Commissioner to Japan beyond a doubt. He . has already the assuranses of Lincoln to . that effect. A day or two before the letter . was written, it was suggested that Col. A. W. Potter was a candidate in’rerci ve for . the Indian Agency with a fair prospect of . success. Rumor had it that private letters . had been written to Col. Fremont and Sen. ator Baker urging his claims, and that both these gentlemen were rather fayorably inclined. The candidates for the Nevada post-office were understood to be Asa stroke of party policy Col, Baker is reprenumerous. sented by his intimate acquaintances to favor the appointment of S. T. Oates, whose activity and influence among the Cornish is thought to deserve well at the hands of the party. Itis reported that Henry Winter Davis has been written to for his exertions in behalf of a gentleman named Morehouse, . and that on the score of old acquaintance the appeal will not be in vain. Washington letter writers are not the most reliable creatures in the world, but we . must be permitted to say, that for knowl. edge of the Indinn tongues, their manners and customs, and for popularity among the aborigines, Col. Potter is just the gentleman for the place, and we earnestly hope the report is more than true.

In your last issue mention was made of the . proceeding of the Board of Supervisors,‘in refness was evinced on the one side, and the . erence to the case of the Indigent Sick for the . present year. I perfectly agree with you in thinking that very little respect was paid the . medical profession of the county: It has been the custom for many years to a:lvertise for proposals from Medical men for the care and treatment of the Indigent Sick, and certainly a decent regard for the opinion of medical men— . to say nothing of the tax-payers—should have . induced the Hon. Board to give a reason for . . departing from the usual method of proceedure. . . The only pretext given, is that the present . proprietor of the Hospital voluntaril y reduced . 1 } i} . } j . his seale of charges from one dollar, to eighty . Lcents per diem for each patient. Now this isa . very lame excuse indeed, for who knows but . other medical men may have been willing to . . assume charge of the Hospitalat a lower rate . . had an opportunity been offered them. The history of the action of the Board of Supervisors as to the Indigent Sick affairs for . . the last three years, is a somewhat curious, and to tax—payers,an interesting and instructive one Tn the year 1858, there were three candidates for the post of County Physician, One offered to take charge of the sick for two dollars a day . The other two bid less amounts in . in scrip, and one of these latter agreed to take . in cash, jchargo of all the County Sick for the gross . sum of $1,500 per annum. The contract was given to the highest bidder . Sor cash. It may perhaps be said that the two . lowest bidders did not possess the requisite but Both were graduates of legally in. qualifications prescribed by the statute: they did, corporated Medical Colleges, whether the sucj}eessful candidate had a diploma, the writer . does not know, neither does he know the exact . amount of the expenditures for Hospital purposes for that year, but it must have largely ex. ceeded $10,000, In 1859, so far as the writer is aware, the : : " . ! . proceedings of the Board in reference to this ; matter were fair and just, always provided they . perfurmed their duty (which we suppose they did) in ascertaining the pos sion by the successful applicant of the qualification preseribed by the statute, which qualification is, that he . . be the graduate of some . College of Medicine. In 1860, there were only two applicants; one legally incorporated . offered to take charge of the sick for one dollar . . per diem in scrip, and the other for seventy-five } cepts in cash; the contract was given to the can draw their own conclusions as to whether the contract was given to the lowest bidder, . But the writer is credibly informed that at no been sold for less than eighty cents on the . dollar. . . time during the last ycar, has scrip on this fund . The public hos already through the city the present year. It may he that the system heretofore in vogue was a pernicions one, detrimental to the comfort of the sick, and injurious to the interest of the tax-payers; and there isno doubt such is the case. But is the plan improvement on the former one? We think not, . although we have already seen that the former one has not yielded the advantageous results still it is not so glari the latter to ¥ open as intrigue or personal jealousy and favoritism. In this State, where taxation so onert and where remuneration for medical services is so proverbially simall, physicians as well as eth. er citizens have aright to demand that expendi. ture should be reduced to the most economical . all, who are legal scale; and that ice to share in the vors er patronage of the State or County goyIt may be, nay, doubtless is true, . that cighty cents a day for the care of a paticnt . is reasonable enough; but the question is, could . This question the Hon. Board has put it out of our power to answer. In their late report the Board of Supervisors . have the indigent sick eared fer at the rate of : : . eighty cents per diem; but have neglected to state whether the agreement is for cash or scrip. Now as they decided last year that one dolar . in serip w jnivalent to seventy-five cents in . . . 4 “¢ . cash, it is difficult to see if the present contract is for ca-h that eny saving in a pecuniary peipt of view, has been effected. We have also heard it stated that the intention and desire of . al Fund asum of money, which when added to the Indigent Sick Fund, should bring orders on . Should this be the case, we are at a loss to see wherein the latter Fund te a eash valuation. the treasury has been benefitted by the reduction of the compensation of the County Physi. cian from one dollar to eighty cents even in. scrip. In ofder, therefore to satisfy the publie that their recent action has been profitable to the people of the County, The Board of Supervisors, should in a satisfactory manner answer the following questions. Ist. Have you seen, or demanded a sight of, the professional credentials 0 the person to whom you have confided the care of the Indigent Sick ? 2d. Is the compensation of the County Physician to be made ia scrip or cash ? 3d. Have steps been taken, or is it contemplated to bring orders on the Indigent Sick Fund to a cash valuation? Lest it might be imagined that the foregoing remarks are a mere ebulition of spleen on the part of a defeated aspirant, the writer wishes it to be distinetly understood that he has never been a candidate for the post of County Physician, nor for any other post within the gift of the Board of Supervisors. Neither has he any fault to find with the successful aspirants, for making the best terms they could with the Board, as he believes that they, in common with other men, have a perfect right to advance their own interests by all lawful and honorable means.

THE NEVADA JOURNAL. 7 eee FRIDAY MORNING, MARCHi, 1861. Necroes 1x New Yorx.—The Jast census shows there are 10,831 colored persons in New York city. But thirty-two of these are married to white persons, and not one ease occurs of a marriage between a white man andablack woman. Of the thirty-two eases of intermarriage, but one northern woman has married a colored husband, while two cases occur of southern born women marrying blacks,and all the remaining cases are foreigners, save one, who was born on the sea. During the late canvass a few unprincipled sheets in this State published pretended cases of intermarriages between whites and blaeks in the northern states, and endeavyored to show thereby that such were the legitimate fruits of Republicanism cartied out, and that the north was debased. The census of New York city which is probably a fair criterion of the north exhibits the fact that out of the few southern boru women in that city compared with the northern born, twice as many of the former have married negroes as of the latter, and but three cases occur in all. We do not produce these facts to disparage the women of the south, but to show that so far as amalgamation of the races is concerned the north, judging by the facts produced, is as clear of theimputation as possible. When two or three journals we might name, in this State, shall publish hereafter amalgamation items, for political purposes, it will . be well for them, for the sake of truth and honesty, to examine the record. Such items have done much to create a feeling of contempt in the people from one section against those of the ether, the practical results of . which are now being felt ina discordant . Cnion. Simoxton writes to the Bulletin that Washburn has no show for the Custom House. A strong money influence, he says, is at work for J. C. Birdseye. Sam Bell has withdrawn in favor of Rankia.— Simonton appeared to favor the latter, and says, as fitness will be the test under Lincoln and as Rankin is acknowledged to be eminently qualified for the place, and is recommended by the teaviest mercantile firms of San Francisco, his chances are best. Capt. Thomas Gray is another candidate for the Custom House, and B. W. Hathaway has been written to by Sullivan to come on for the purpose of becoming a compromise candidate. Sam Bell, ceasing to strive for the collectorshin, is an applicant for the Navy Agency. Col. Fremont favors T. J. L. Smiley for the same position. Col. Butler wants the Mint, but Col. Baker’s son-in-law, Stevens, has the inside track. WY: Patch, W. B. Farwell, Cheeseman and Dr. Gunn are candidates for the Naval Office. Dr. McLean stands high for Surveyor of the Port. J. A.Nunes and James MeShafter are applicants for Surveyor General but the Bulletin correspondent seems to think that neither are formidable. The report of the Washington correspondent of the Bulletin is to be taken, perhaps, cum grand salis,as he is in the Rankin interest. Mvsic—Patriotic Music.—Gray & Herwig, of San Francisco, have sent us 2 piece of patriotic music, entitled “ United Forever;” words by T. G. Spear; music composed by Geo. T. Evans, the celebrated pianist. The words we like. A specimen, we give: Oh, wherefore that ery on the pitiless gale, Of secession and ruin, and States in dissension ? Is the league of our fathers beginning to fail? _ Have their children lost sight of their god-like intention ? : Has the work most divine cf all human design Ceased to animate men Or keep States from decline? Ah, no! it still lives, and forbids them to sever Their American freedom and Union forever ! Fair Gem of the West ! California, shine In that cluster of stars, without stain of Disun10n, And never be writ on eseutcheon of thine, An act that denies thee a nation’s communion. Still hold on thy way. As benign in thy sway As the evening star on the west verge of day, Miluming the path of fraternal endeavor For America, Freedom and Union forever— Marching on! Marehing on! In the vanguard of nations forever! If the music is as good as the words we'll have it sung every evening or—get a divorce. Finiixe up or cuarpine Suarts.—A correspondent suggests the passage of a law compelling all persons who sink shafts within the corporation limits of a city or town, or legal bounds of a public highway, to enclose them substantially, cover them up, or make them secure in some manner against travelers. As frequent cases oceur of persons falling into shafts, we think the suggestion a good one decidedly. He complains also, of other evils ; but if he will examine the statutes he will find them all provided for. The fault he would ramedy lies in the want of execution of the laws, rather than in the want of the laws themselves. Perhaps we ought rather to say the fault lies in public sentiment. Tue 22p 1x San Francisco.--The 22d was a gala day in San Francisco. Guns were fired, national airs were played, flags were out, and Col. Crockett, Eugene Casserly, Edward Stanly, . Judge Lake, and other gentlemen, made eloquent and patriotic speeches. T. Starr King lectured on the life and character of Washington in the, evening at Tucker’s Hall, in which he gave the secessionists severe home thrusts.— Washington’s birth day was made by the San Franciscans as much a national hotiday as the fourth of July. So it should be. Picrvres.—We have received from H. H. Bancroft & Co., of San Francisco, two elegant engravings published by the Cosmopolitan Art Association —“ Shakspeare and his friends,” and the “Village Blacksmith.” The merits of these pictures have been thoroughly canvassed by almost every bedy in town. Tar Staue Tax Uscoystitutionat.—The Supreme Court of the United States has declared the Stamp act of this State unconstitutional. A ‘source ef revenue to the State is thus dried up. Free Neeroes tx ALABAMA.—The Senate of Alabama has passed a bill requiring all free negroes to leave that State by the Ist of January, 1862, or in default, be sold into slavery. J. C. Peuton has been appointed by Gov Downey, atrustee of the State Reform School at Marysville, in place of H. S. Foushee, lately deceased. Gor. Foote writes to the Louisgjlle Journal that he is not the whole-hog secessionist he has been represented tobe. Give the devil his due. Sexator Dovetas has introduced a new fugitive slave law, which provides for giving tke slave a trial after capture, in the State whence he fied ; and it also authorizes the owner of any fugitive slave, when through violence or intimidation he cannot be recovered, to sue for his yaiue in the Court of Claims, and recover the same from the United States ; and it repeals the obnoxious features of the present laws on that subject whrch relate to harboring or protecting puch yunaways, a } soundness of such logic may be appreciated REPLY TO MR. BRIERLY. Having established, as we think, conclusively, from the same and other equally high authority, that Mr. Brierly relied on, that the American Constitution has nothing whatever todo with religion, we propese devoting the briefest space possible to his . long letters, published in the two last numbers of this paper. A great many questions arise which we . will be obliged to pass by silently for want of the necessary space, and because their discussion would not interest the public in the least, and what we do notice shall be) done as curtly as we know how to compress the language. We are willing to concede that the institutions of the colony of Maryland were rot as liberal as we once thought they were. It is acommon error into which the majority of the American people, ourselves among the number, have fallen. we appreciate one benefit from the controyersy in which we find ourselves engaged. The fact at which we have arrived is not, In its correction however, of any importance to the argument, Mr. Brierly complains, too, that we blundered in saying he said 20,000 bibles in 1782, Holland Scotland. were imported from and andfpartially corrected in an after sentence where we wrote, “ sought to be imported.” We now proceed to answer such of his objections as we deem of sufficient importance to justify it. express our surprise that one who assumes to teach the powers of the Constitution should jumble up the State and National governments, as he does in his discussions. But before doing so we must Mr. Brierly returns to the fact, as one of great importance, that Congress ordered an importation of bibles in 1777, and urges it as a proof that a government formed vears . afterwards and by almost entirely other The men, is committed to Christianity ! by others, but we confess our inability to Hlow the Constitution of the United States, formed by sixty-two deleconcur. gates, should take its character from, or be made responsible for, the acts of twelve of them, twelve years before, while acting as representatives under another government, is beyond our “early action,” as Mr. Brierly calls it, he says “shows more conclusively than a later comprehension, yet this one could do, what was the original bias of the founders of the government.” <A sufficient answer to this is already given, viz: that the men who sought to import bibles were not the founders of the government, but a very small share of them. Perhaps the whole twelve may haye voted against the importation—we have no means at hand for learning. But admitting his assumption to be true, is it not possible for a body of Christians, as the convention that formed the Constitution is not proved to have been, to deprive the government they were constructing of all power over religion, leaving it where the matter might be reached more readily, to State regulation? The possibility was demonstrated in an act by the framers of the Constitution, as we have shown ina previous article. They brought religion nearer home by saving all dealings with it to themselves in a local govyernment. As considerable stress is laid upon the} fact that an old Continental Congress sought } to import bibles, we will give our opponent the full benefit of all and more than he can make of the act. done under the present Constitution, and Suppose the act had been that it was constitutional, can any one demonstrate that the importation of any other book instead would be unconstitutional? If he can, that clause in the Con. stitution where the authority is found has been sadly overlooked by every student of the American government. Would the importation of bibles by the present Congress The error was unintentional, . goto prove the American government a Christian government, or that it vastly preferred the Christian religion overany other? . Does . this prove that the American Government committs itself in favor of that insect in Congress imports the Italian bee. preference to the common bee ? or that it prefers Italian bee honey to molasses ?— What power is there anywhere to prevent the United States government from furnishing the District of Columbia, and every fort and dock-yard in the country, and every vessel in the nary, with a library, in . which shall be found the religious books of every nation and people on earth? Mr. Brierly argued in a lecture that the importation of bibles was evidence that the American government was a Christian goyernment, and said :f it had desired to recegnize Judaism the old Testament alone . would have been imported. He also went farther and produced the fact that prayers were called for by the early conventions and congresses, as proof that the Christian religion was only to be countenanced by the gevernment, We showed that Dr. Raphael, a Jew, had been invited to pray in the Sen. ate,asa proof that Senators thought no discrimination was tanght by the American government. Mr. Brierly admits the Senate thought a Jewish Rabbi might be invited to officiate as well as a Christian minister.— How does this comport with his deciaration that our government is committed to Chris. tianity? Is Dr. Raphael a Christian—a man who believes Christ an imposter? Weare asked, “if a Chinese ‘Josh’ had been worshipped in Washington, would the officiating priest have been invited to open a session of Congress with prayer, to his heathen God?” Of course not. Why ?— Because Congress as a body of men does not favor that sort of worship. It is a matter of taste and judgment with the members. They pay a chaplain out of a contingent fund which is under their control. They could hire a Spiritualist, a Jew, a Mormon, or anybody else, if they chose, and pay him out of the fand The question propounded is just as pertinent as to inquire why a man who abhors parsnueps does not eat parsneps when other food suits his taste better, and it does not follow that because the stomach of one man or a dozen heaves at parsneps that they aze unconstitutional. The time may come when they will be preferred. But we pass along and quote from Mr. Brierly’s last article : “Tt formed no part of my design to prove that, under our gevernment, the Chinese worship, or Mobamedan could be suppressed by law. My cena ect ese shoe ttt SAORIGA SCPE RM LE SAE NAM PTA TR MEMO TS AND SSNS SANSUI WORSE IO NR ARNIS TN renee design was to prove that our government was committed to Christianity from the first.as it was not committed to any other creel or faith That! Christianity had a re gnized ievtho'd, which . neither Infidelity, Paganism nor Mohamedan. lism had. Our government may tolerate these . things, to a certain extent, but, it does not tolerate Christianity. This is here bya right, older . and more sacred than the government itself. . Thus Christianity has given us a Sabbath, and, . a law protecting it would not violate a single j fundamental principle of our government— . while, a law abolishing it, would. Christianity has given us a standard of morals, and any . practices, growing out of any other faith, which . are contrary to this standard, can be Constitu. tionally suppressed. Mohamedanism cannot . bring its harem, Budhism its infanticide and . Suttecism, or Thughism its religious stranglings into our midst, though these are parts of their religion.” The assumption that because our government was not committed to any other creed or faith, it must be eommitted to Christianity,is a forced oue in logic, if not in fact. Toleration, we have already endeavored to ishow from Mr. Madison and the Virginia Declaration of Rights, is not the word, unless accompanied by the adjective, egual.— There is a vagueness in the declaration that . a law protecting the Sabbath would not vi. olate a single fundamental principle of our government, while a law abolishing it would. Ifa State law is meant, we concur, that it would not violate a fundamental . . principle of the general government, if it . protected the Christian Sabbath ; but we by . . no means concede that a State law abolish. ing the Sabbath would violate a fundamental principle of the Constitution. That we assert cannot be shown. Mr. Brierly falls . . on. . They evidently EFFORTS AT CONCILIATION. Ina recent debate in the United States Senate, participated in by Seward, Douglas, Mason and Hale, a spirit of fraternal kindopposite on the other. Gov. Seward, with an urbanity and moderation worthy of the man and the crisis endeavored by every means in his power as faras human language could go, to pacify and conciliate the secessionists. He was cordially sustained by Douglas, who, on this occasion at least, failed to give vent to his chagrin at his de. feat, but came up like a patriot to soothe These two distinguished Senators expressed an earnest the angry spirit of disunion. the country settled amicably and indicated a willingness and anxiety to remoye all ob. stacles in the way of a satisfactory adjust;ment as far as lay in their power. were met by no such corresponding spirit on the part of the secessionists. Mason, who was the mouth-piece of the disorganizers on the occasion, endeavored to torture the language of Gov. Seward into menaces and threats as if he did not care to see a concession made having a tendency to harmonize the ccuntry. Such it must be confessed, is too much the dispo. sition evinced by the apologists of disuniRule or ruin has been the policy in the government, and such is avowedly their determination either in er out of the Union. think their part in the drama is to demand, and the part of the into another error when he says any practices contrary to the standard of Christian . morality can be Constitutionally suppressed. . If he means constitutionally in the sense his discourses and articles indicate, we deny it, and challenge him or any other man to . show us how the general government can interfere ina State. If he means constitu. tionally in a State sense, it has no business j with the argument which only has to do . Union. He tells us in this connection that Mohammedanism cannot bring its harem, Thugism its stranglings, etc., into our midst. Very true, and why? Not on account of. an inhibiting power in the Constitution, but . because the moral seuse of the people is . established local laws . But, if Mr. Brierly will just look over the mountains he will . see the equal of the Mehammedan harem among the Mormons, and the corresponding opposed and has against such practices. Thugism in their ‘“ Destroying Angels.”— . These practices have existed for years on the soil of the United States and no effort . has been made by the government to put them down. The Mormon problem stands confessed the very ugliest one with which . we have to deal. Mormons as a State into the Union, and Congress can admit the} when once in, the wisest statesmen are baf. fled to find a single clause in the Constitu. tion by which poiygamy and the Danite!} band may be exterminated. It is conceded by a majority of the civilized world that aj} man has as gooda right to two wives as . two niggers. The religious authority relied . on to sustain slavery is also relied on to} sustain polygamy. As a State institution, either is beyond the reach of the Federal government. One more quotation frem the reverend gentleman and we are done: “ As local laws must be in accordance with . the Constitution ef the State, and of the United . States, then a law for the protection of Christi. anity, to the fullextent for which I have con. tended, is in accordance with the spirit of the . . Constitution, by your own admission.” What is attempted to be proven by this excerpt we areat alosstosay. Ifit means that we have admitted Christianity may be . protected by the Constitution, we reply, we . . . « ' have mude no such admission. If it means} that a State law protecting religion would be in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, we answer that the Constitution has nothing to do with the matter. The spirit of the Constitution is to let the . matter entirely alone. If he means that a State law for the protection of Christianity, . made to fill a blank left by the framers of) the Constitution in that instrument, is all} the protection he has ever claimed, surely . he and ourselves are manufacturing a great . many words for nothing. A New Era.—Before another issue of our paper His Imbecility will have vacated the Presidential chair, and a man of tried integrity, unsullied honor, undoubted prudence and ability succeeded him. On Mon-} day next Abraham Lincoln, called from the peaceful pursuits of private life, like an. other Cincinnatus, by his countrymen, to . assume the highest position in the world, enters upon the discharge of his high duties as President of these United States. <A} more gloomy period never intervened in The duties of a PresiAmerican history. dent are manifold and arduous at best. In the present crisis they are doubly so, requiring the utmost powers of endurance, extreme patience and assiduity, great intellect and unbaffled judgment. We haye the fullest confidence that the President elect has all the high intellectual, moral and physical qualities for the crisis he is called to meet: Since his election his course has . been such that the most ¢ynical could find in him nothing at which to cavil, and great as was the estimation in which he was held by the American people before his election, he has risen vastly since. The times are critical, the signs ominous of evil. The spirit of discord and destruction is abroad; but we have cause fer congratulation that a man ef character is abeut to head the Nation. A moral support will be given the government it has not had for vears. If the Union shall go to wreck it will not be the fault of its Chief Magistrate, and if it shall happily weather the storm as we donot doubt it will, the prudent counsels of Abraham Lincoln will go far to produce the glorious result, and and at the clese of four years service he will receive and deserve the plaudits of an an entire people. Tue Scrveror Gsnerat's Report for 1860 gives the valuation of property in this county for the last year at $578,085 less than the year previous, according to the report of the County Assesser. It will be recollected that Attorney General Wallace gave his opinion to the Assessor of this County that capital invested in mining claims might be taxed. Acting . upon this opinion$-he capital invested in. mining claims in this county was assessed . in 1859. It having been determined by . competent authority that such property was not subject to taxation, the Assessor ceased to assess it in 1860. The apparent decrease in the value of property in Nevada county, is not real. On the contrary, property in the county is gradually increasing i . north to accede. . fairs of the nation. . their wishes are fulfilled. . tary despotism which shall know no liberty . cause of liberty and humanity cherished by You accede or we'll se;cede, is the threat and the ultimatum.— . While this spirit exists theré can be no . Union worthy of the name, and did we entertain the idea that such men as Mason speak the settled purpose of the people of the south, we should estimate a Union . with them at a very low figure indeed. Aj, Union which z Z 5 Salty: : . one section continually,’and require all the . with the powers of the Constitution of the . fraternal feelings to be exhibited from the other section, is a Union requiring a di. vorce. But we are firmly impressed that the public sentiment of the southern people has not been expressed, and, indeed, it seems to be the settled purpose of the ringleaders not to permit it to be. Virginia and Tennessee are berated at atgreat rate be. former. Those who know the cash value of . the same, . scrip on the Indigent Sick Fund at that date, . cause they voice of the people to be heard in have allowed the sovereign the af. Anappeal to the foun. tain of all power is not safe for the dema. gogues who rule the hour in the insurrec. tionary States. The high-handed government they are . now attempting to uphold, is a foretaste of . . the kind of one they design tu establish if A sort of milibut that of the governing oligarchy, is the . object they seek. Withdraw all opposition . to these mad-caps and let their hellish designs be carried out, and a slave despotism . will be established along the Gulf of Mexi} . . /co, in which the mails, if the government violated, every man not known to be a despot at heart would be subject to espionage, a free press and free speech would be un. known, and darker deeds than ever dis. graced a Nero or Caligula would be perpe. trated with impunity,none daring to breathe a whisper of dissent. To prevent a relapse into barbarism the . National Government owes it to herself, to . the terrified Union loving people of the south, whose voice is hushed, and to the . all uncontaminated hearts throughout the force of arms the establishment of a/. despotism on our soil. by Prospect For NEvapaxs.—A prominent . citizen of this city informs us that he has . been permitted to read a private letter from Washington to a former Nevadan now residing in San Francisco. The letter was . dated, Feb. 8th and came by alate Pony. . In relation to the prospects of Nevadans for appointments under the incoming Administration the writer is confident that J. . C. Birdseye, has as good a show asany one for the Collectorship, and, perhaps, better. . James Churchman will be appointed Commissioner to Japan beyond a doubt. He . has already the assuranses of Lincoln to . that effect. A day or two before the letter . was written, it was suggested that Col. A. W. Potter was a candidate in’rerci ve for . the Indian Agency with a fair prospect of . success. Rumor had it that private letters . had been written to Col. Fremont and Sen. ator Baker urging his claims, and that both these gentlemen were rather fayorably inclined. The candidates for the Nevada post-office were understood to be Asa stroke of party policy Col, Baker is reprenumerous. sented by his intimate acquaintances to favor the appointment of S. T. Oates, whose activity and influence among the Cornish is thought to deserve well at the hands of the party. Itis reported that Henry Winter Davis has been written to for his exertions in behalf of a gentleman named Morehouse, . and that on the score of old acquaintance the appeal will not be in vain. Washington letter writers are not the most reliable creatures in the world, but we . must be permitted to say, that for knowl. edge of the Indinn tongues, their manners and customs, and for popularity among the aborigines, Col. Potter is just the gentleman for the place, and we earnestly hope the report is more than true.

In your last issue mention was made of the . proceeding of the Board of Supervisors,‘in refness was evinced on the one side, and the . erence to the case of the Indigent Sick for the . present year. I perfectly agree with you in thinking that very little respect was paid the . medical profession of the county: It has been the custom for many years to a:lvertise for proposals from Medical men for the care and treatment of the Indigent Sick, and certainly a decent regard for the opinion of medical men— . to say nothing of the tax-payers—should have . induced the Hon. Board to give a reason for . . departing from the usual method of proceedure. . . The only pretext given, is that the present . proprietor of the Hospital voluntaril y reduced . 1 } i} . } j . his seale of charges from one dollar, to eighty . Lcents per diem for each patient. Now this isa . very lame excuse indeed, for who knows but . other medical men may have been willing to . . assume charge of the Hospitalat a lower rate . . had an opportunity been offered them. The history of the action of the Board of Supervisors as to the Indigent Sick affairs for . . the last three years, is a somewhat curious, and to tax—payers,an interesting and instructive one Tn the year 1858, there were three candidates for the post of County Physician, One offered to take charge of the sick for two dollars a day . The other two bid less amounts in . in scrip, and one of these latter agreed to take . in cash, jchargo of all the County Sick for the gross . sum of $1,500 per annum. The contract was given to the highest bidder . Sor cash. It may perhaps be said that the two . lowest bidders did not possess the requisite but Both were graduates of legally in. qualifications prescribed by the statute: they did, corporated Medical Colleges, whether the sucj}eessful candidate had a diploma, the writer . does not know, neither does he know the exact . amount of the expenditures for Hospital purposes for that year, but it must have largely ex. ceeded $10,000, In 1859, so far as the writer is aware, the : : " . ! . proceedings of the Board in reference to this ; matter were fair and just, always provided they . perfurmed their duty (which we suppose they did) in ascertaining the pos sion by the successful applicant of the qualification preseribed by the statute, which qualification is, that he . . be the graduate of some . College of Medicine. In 1860, there were only two applicants; one legally incorporated . offered to take charge of the sick for one dollar . . per diem in scrip, and the other for seventy-five } cepts in cash; the contract was given to the can draw their own conclusions as to whether the contract was given to the lowest bidder, . But the writer is credibly informed that at no been sold for less than eighty cents on the . dollar. . . time during the last ycar, has scrip on this fund . The public hos already through the city the present year. It may he that the system heretofore in vogue was a pernicions one, detrimental to the comfort of the sick, and injurious to the interest of the tax-payers; and there isno doubt such is the case. But is the plan improvement on the former one? We think not, . although we have already seen that the former one has not yielded the advantageous results still it is not so glari the latter to ¥ open as intrigue or personal jealousy and favoritism. In this State, where taxation so onert and where remuneration for medical services is so proverbially simall, physicians as well as eth. er citizens have aright to demand that expendi. ture should be reduced to the most economical . all, who are legal scale; and that ice to share in the vors er patronage of the State or County goyIt may be, nay, doubtless is true, . that cighty cents a day for the care of a paticnt . is reasonable enough; but the question is, could . This question the Hon. Board has put it out of our power to answer. In their late report the Board of Supervisors . have the indigent sick eared fer at the rate of : : . eighty cents per diem; but have neglected to state whether the agreement is for cash or scrip. Now as they decided last year that one dolar . in serip w jnivalent to seventy-five cents in . . . 4 “¢ . cash, it is difficult to see if the present contract is for ca-h that eny saving in a pecuniary peipt of view, has been effected. We have also heard it stated that the intention and desire of . al Fund asum of money, which when added to the Indigent Sick Fund, should bring orders on . Should this be the case, we are at a loss to see wherein the latter Fund te a eash valuation. the treasury has been benefitted by the reduction of the compensation of the County Physi. cian from one dollar to eighty cents even in. scrip. In ofder, therefore to satisfy the publie that their recent action has been profitable to the people of the County, The Board of Supervisors, should in a satisfactory manner answer the following questions. Ist. Have you seen, or demanded a sight of, the professional credentials 0 the person to whom you have confided the care of the Indigent Sick ? 2d. Is the compensation of the County Physician to be made ia scrip or cash ? 3d. Have steps been taken, or is it contemplated to bring orders on the Indigent Sick Fund to a cash valuation? Lest it might be imagined that the foregoing remarks are a mere ebulition of spleen on the part of a defeated aspirant, the writer wishes it to be distinetly understood that he has never been a candidate for the post of County Physician, nor for any other post within the gift of the Board of Supervisors. Neither has he any fault to find with the successful aspirants, for making the best terms they could with the Board, as he believes that they, in common with other men, have a perfect right to advance their own interests by all lawful and honorable means.
