FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 1874:
The So-Called Constitation,
A significant fact indicating the purposes of tlie Democracy in the future is
the manner in which the Thirteenth,
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
aré treated in all Giscussions by that
party. The papers.and leaders of the
party seldom allude to these clauses of
the Constitution except as the so-called
or the pretended amendments to the
Constitution. This manner of treating
the amendments can have but one obs
ject, and taken in connection with the
revolutionary declarations of such men
as Blair that object is easily understood. It means that the Democratic
party having control of the National
Government and the Courts will ignore
the existeuce of these amendments,
and place the country in the same position it occupied before the beginning
of the Rebellion; it means that all for
which the best blood of the nation was
shed shall be lost; and that what the
will be conceded--them by the Democracy. They “accept the situation” but
deny the force and the legality of every
means tending to preserve the fruits of
the victory. They do not acknowledge.
the North, and to all intents and purposes the leaders have put the Democva
racy in such a position that in case of
victory all that the rebels lost may be
restored. While this course 1s being
Union men. are told they must forget
the past and that the Rebellion must
not be alluded to. The Union party is
not responsible fer the issue; it is
forced upon the. party by the Democ~
racy and must be met. The amendments have become a part of the Con«
stitution and as such are as sacred and
as binding as any part of that instrument. They simplysecure by fundamental law the results attained by
Union. victory, and the Republican.
party having defeated the Rebellion
and passed amendments must defend
them as the only means of perpetuat~
ing liberty and unity. . The party,
therefore, cannot abandon this issue
until the Democracy cease to make assaults upon the Constitution and to
threaten its overthrow ‘When power is
secured to effect it.
Tur Ala says: The total city tax
for this year in San Francisco is $2 10}
on. the $100, and the State tax is 86}
cents, making a total of $297. This
ia an increase of thirteen cents as compared with last year; and the increase
is due to various extraordinary expen~
ses; including $50,000 for the Creighton & Donahue street contract and $31,
000 for Montgomery Street Straight,
imposed on the City Treasury by the
last Legislature, ‘here is, besides, a
deficiency of $70,000 in the Alms
House Fund, of $10,000 for’ the current
wkpenses of the Fire Department, and
of $24,000 in another fund. The only
*tiiéthod of meeting these obligations is
by levying additional taxes,

Yesterday, while quietly promenading
in the Rue de Trevise, a semi-drunken
soldier laid violent hands upon me, and’
was about to drag me away to the
mairie of the ward, amid the unpleasant anger and brandishing canes and
weapons of a large crowd,. when I succeeded in assuting him that I did «not
belong to the hated race, and thus undoubtedly. preserved a whole skin.
Numbers of Americans were arrested
Sunday, and some were put to very seriows inconvenience. —s_—
THE universal use of mowing ma

is a very painful one and may prove to
be serious. )
VTuesday afternoon, Jos. Polglase, of
the Idaho mine, received a severe cut
which will cause him to keep still for
some time.) He was preparing some
timber itt the mine and was using an
axe, In making a blow at the timber
the axe glanced and struck Mr. Polglase’s foot, cutting that member very
erely.
Wednesday morning Joseph Rowe,
who works at the North Star mine,was
struck with’ a sledge’ hammer on the

On Wednesday the Town Talk gravel mine showed very rich in gold. Mr.
Walker tried a pan of dirt from the
breast of gravel and he got about $17
50. from-it.-The Town Falk is-nearly
east from Grasse Valley and is supposed
to be on the Alta Hill old river bed.—
The old bed is supposed to have been
divided by Welf creek and by what is
known as Grass Valley Slide.) The
Town Talk is showing very splendidly
in gold, no matter what its old connec‘dons were, .
Wednesday afternoon, Sheppard and
Jacoby commenced their great walking
match. As money is bet on the result,
and as several are interested in the
bets, there will be no chance for “shenanegin.” The man who walks the
‘longer time wing, or in other words the
pole which is longest knocks the walks

is 25 cents.
ABOUT two yeurs ago ,as Myron E.

West Virginia penitentiaries must
be possessed of more valuable contents
than the ordinary run of institutions
of that sort. We read that a short

Fast Teams. —h has been frequently
stated that the King of Denmark drives
a team of reindeers which cost him two

which cost them about thirty thousand

men working in the Oneida mine, says
the Amador Ledger; missed his tooting
and fell a distance of one hundred and
twentysfive feet, when he caught on
the timbers and thus saved himself

nothing had “drapped” that day.
