According to tlio basis of representation, (the Dem
ocratic vote of last September.) Oroville is entitled to
l»U 5 delegates. The population having largely in
creased within the past year, the Committee have
reason to believe that Oroville is entitled to some 14
delegates, as the ent re vole of the precinct at the late
election, for Justice of the Peace, was between eight
and nine hundred. The matter is respectfully refer
red to tho Convention.

Mining Items.
The accounts of the success of the miners
in Wus vicinity, wc can assure our readers,
is as correct as it is possible to make it with
our facilities for arriving at the truth in
those matters. It is the exact state of min
ing affairs that we at all times intend to lay
before the public, believing this to be the
best course to pursue, and being perfectly
satisfied that the mines hereabouts are not
surpassed by any in the state, wc conceive
that an exaggerated account, would be en
tirely unnecessary, and injurious to us as a
community.
* In our issue of yesterday, when speaking
of tome of the claims, wo underrated them.
So say the proprietors.
The Golden Gate Co., took out last week
$1,254, instead of that amount in two weeks*
Sulivan’s Co., also, did. much better than
we put them down at.
Lynch & Co., near Squire’s Boarding
House on Live Oak Flat, are averaging $lO
u day to tho hand.
Ned Taylor’s claim pays about an ounce a
day to the man. Ned is an old and practi
cal miner, a perfect gentleman, aud it grat
ifies us to hear of his success.
Smith & Co. and Morris & Co., on Carpen
ters Flat, are mining very extensively, and
are just striking it rich. Their claims pay
from $lO to an ounce a day to the hand.
Police, Look. Out.—A thief was caught
night before last, grabbing some wearing
apparel from a ladles apartment, down at
the lower end of town, lie was frightened
away by the approach of tho fair one, whom
the articles fitted much better than they

Pacific Railroad.
Die Black Republican organ of San Fran
cisco, thinks the Democratic Senate have
exceeded the limits of the Platform adopted
at Cincinnati, in the passage of the military
road bill. The Black Republicans having
asserted that the Democratic party were
opposed to the construction of a continental
Railroad, are determined to keep up the
false statement. With all- their boasting
about “P reuiont and the Pacfic Railroad,”
they know that the present Republican
House of Representatives, now in session,
Will Not pass the Senate hill for a road
across the plains, and they endeavor to draw
public attention from their own delinquency
by grossly misrepresenting the Democratic
party. There lias been professions enough
about this rnxtter ot a National Railroad.
As a hobby, it has been ridden for yean,
and mere professions upon the subject will
not satisfy the public, or be the means of
electing political demagogues to office. The
time for action Ims arrived. The democratic
Senate have taken the lead by passing the
military road bill. Let the lower branch of
Congress, which i» strongly Republican,
pass this bill, or “dry up” their base slan
ders about the Democracy.
The San Francisco organ seizes upon the
letter of Mr. Brent to the Democracy of Cal
ifornia, explaining his course as a delegate
to the National Convention, and extracts
therefrom some devilish good Black Repub
lican arguments. Indeed, the course of our
delegation to the National Convention, has
done more to place the Democracy of Cali
fornia in a false position upon this question,
than all the villainous misrepresentation
that unscrupulous Black Republicanism can
invent. Their cards explanatory of their
treacherous course, arc eagerly sought for
by the Black Republican and Ki-Yi organs,
and are paraded before the people as the
evidence of Democrats against their own
party. To excuse themselves for their
treachery to the democracy of California,
these delegates basely misrepresent the Na
tional Democratic standard bearers, and the
party which honored them by making them
its representatives. Their excuse is not a
good one, and bears evidence of untruth up
on its face, for the delegates had determined
in caucus to pursue the course adopted, be
fore the occasion which they plead in justifi
cation had arisen, or was even contemplated.
Those treacherous delegates, with their ex
planatory circulars and cards to constitu
ents, are the most effective Black Republi
cans in all California. If they wish to aid
that party to carry the State, why do they
not corno out openly, and advocate Black
Republicanism in an honorable manner, and
not exhibit the unblushing impudence and
hardihood to claim to be Democrats, and
state that they opposed Mr. Buchanan, be
cause Mr. Buchanan was opposed to a Pa
cific Railroad, when every man in the United
States knows to the contrary. We are dis
gusted with the Black Republicanism and
hypocrisy of the delegates, and trust that
Mr. Brent’s may be the last explanatory
epistle put forth by them. We doubt not
the Democracy arc perfectly satisfied, since
the explanation of the delegates is only cir
j culated iu the Black Republican and Ki-Yi
organs.
ABravk Ofviclr. —A Mr. Jackson, who
i acts as constable to Justice Jones’Court,
was gent to serve some papers on a company
wiio are working on the bill. One of the
company defied the officer, and told him to
leave or he would thrash him, which threat
he proceeded to carry into execution, and
rather of the two got the best of him. He
came to town, told his story and took some
of his friends with him to see that he was
not harmed when in the discharge of his
official duties. When they arrived, all were
armed to the teeth, and looked somewhat
bloodthirsty. The opposers of the law were
supposed to- be down in a drift, and the
company looked to their chief to lower him
self down, when they would follow. He
gave one ghastly look into the shaft, and
weakened. We are told that had that been
a grizzly bear's hole, the idea of making a
descent would have been no more repug
nant to him than it was on this occasion,
when it contained '‘Sydney Ducks.”
Bonv Guard. —One of city polioe, was
called upon to settle a dispute of a business
or private nature by one of our merchants,
who by the account of fhe watchman, seem
ed to think that his persou must be protected
against the insults of his customer*. The
case was argued with some warmth pro and
con, and at last came near a set to with our
guardian of the night. They parted howev
er without any serious outbreak; Ihe busi
ness man assuring the watchman that he
should withdraw his support from any such
institution as private police, the amount of
which will bo felt by Capt. Bird, to the ex
tent of fifty cents a week, when be collects
the assessments next Saturday.
Theatrical.
A scent occurred at the Metropolitan,
night before last, that was not laid down on
the programme. It was the occasion of Mr.
Hamilton’s benefit, and as the beneficiary
had a right to do,he placed our yoang friend
Harry Mighels in the box office for safety.
At about 8 o’clock, when the citizens were
gathering in, all were struck back, by the
appearance of Constable I’attou. who pounc
ed upon the funds in the hands of the ticket
seller. The seizure was made at the in
stance of Mr. Hamilton After a few min
utes of deathly silence, Mr. Connor appear
ed before the curtain, and announced in an
audible voice; that Mr. Hamilton had seized
the funds, and although the managers owed
Hamilton £l-7, and tickets to quite a num
ber bad been sold, and the liol lers present
to sec the show, he (Connor) would not play;
no power on earth could make him play.
Mr. Hamilton, then appeared in his own
defense, and said that be had nut received
his salary, his lund-loni wanted his pay .and
that humbug had been the order of the day
among the management, and he saw shc
nanegan going on, he, to save himself, had
attached the receipts. Ffe appealed to the
audience to say whether he was not right
The crowd were unanimous in his favor.—
Then it was interesting. The crowd rushed
on to the stage—one said, give me back my
dollar another said, it was, and had been
a splendid d- d burning—another said it
was a plan to swindle the public, &c.,and
finally the uproarous audience retired with
a very large sized disgust. It came very
near a row at one time.
It has, so far, under the present manage
ment, been a succession of disasterous blun
ders—a chapter of accidents in the history
of the Oruviile drama.
The Chapman's. —The closing of the en
gagement, ami departure of this Company,
is regretted by ail the patrons of the drama,
in this vicinity. Circumstances, wo regret
to say, over which Mr. Chapman could have
no control, have rendered the position of
himself and his company, very unpleasant
and annoying in the extreme. The two com
panies have, in consequence of bad manage
ment and inexperience of the Usees of the
Metropolitan, sustained considerable pecu
niary loss. Both Companies possess merit
of no mean order, and might have drawn
crowded houses, but for the unnecessary ri
valry existing between them ; consequently
there has been no concert of action; and pie
ces have been literally slaughtered, which
might have been rendered with great effect,
and to the entire satisfaction of our citizens.
This has been apparent to the most casual
observer, and is attributable to the faet, that
some of those who undertook to cater amuse
ments fur the Oroville public, were over
stocked with impudence, and under par in
brains, common sense and decency.
Mr. Chapman has gone to Weaverville
with his company, and we assure our moun
tain friends, that he has the stock with him
to afford them amusement of a high order. —
His talented lady and daughter, the beauti
ful Miss Julia Hudson, and the great favor
ite Miss Kate Grey, who is not excelled in
her line of characters, by any lady in Cali
fornia, are among, the number.
We bespeak for them that support and pat
ronage, which their merits demand.
Got a Ducking. —As one of our Mxys
ville visiters was making ready to take his
departure last Sunday, he rolled off with
his spirited horse at a rapid rate, and be
fore his friends had time to direct him on
the right road—he no doubt supposing that
all the roads leading out of Oroville must
lead to Marysville—he went down Mont
gomery street, and drove plumb into Fea
ther river. The water was very low, or
it might have been a serious mutter. As it
was, a souse into the river was the extent of
the damage sustained. He returned to town
in a dripping state, and as the starch was
tagen out of his good clothes* he concluded
to let it dry on and remain with us over
night. He might have had an .Uube in his
hat. ___ _ ______
Indian Fight. — A fight came of! last
Tuesday about two miles down the river on
the opposite tide. It was between a tribe
who have their raneberie down the river,
and % tribe from the West Branch. The or
igin of the fight wc did not learn. It was
witnessed by several white men, who say
they scut the arrows into each others ranks
with savage earnestness. As far as could
be ascertained, there were two killed and
several wounded.

I stand in the vale of shadows,
With nothing to love but theo.
Thou,only star in the Heavens
That's shedding it-* light on me—
And sweetly upon i.»y pathway
The ray of its beafity beams [gels
Like the smiles of the bright winged an
-1 saw in my childhood a dreams.
Maria! how very lonely
All will be when thou art gone ;
My joys will set in darkness.
That can never know the dawn ;
Fur oh! when the young heart is bn ken.
Our life is an endless night,
’Till the light of immortal glory
Breaks in on the dying sight.
But thou olialt be long remembered,
And as I look back w hen old,
That face with its loving beauty
Will shine like apples of gold.
Farewell! and by that sweet river
Where the loved and the loving meet,
In the shade on its lovely waters,
The joys of the past we ll repeat.

Mr. Editor: —lt is with pleasure I note
the various improvements going on in Oro
ville, but in one of them 1 cannot but ex
press surprise. I refer to the building ercc
ted on the north side of Montgomery street,
in Dvti'ner gtrett. It has been occupied
some time as a dwelling house, but is now
converted into a store. From the improve
ments going on around it, one would sup
pose it to bo private property instead of a
public street. What is the difference be
tween erecting a house in the street at this
end of the town, and the others. There, a
poor hombre had his house removed not
long since, because “it was i;z the street.’’
If the erection of houses in the streets is al
lowed, there are several desirable localities
left, and the future may be Bought with lit
igation. If there is proper cause for the
obstruction lei those who know it speak and
satisfy those who do not. It is a question
that interests ail ofour citizens, and if pos
session is a title against right beyond legal
redress, the ballance of the street will be
filled up soon.
iD- Id a communication from one of our
citizens, which we publish to-day, in ref
erence to improvements in general, and
to building in the siiects in particular. He
seems to complain and says that the location
on which the house referred to is built, arc
public highways. If this be the case, it is
right that it should he stopped. It strikes
us, however, that this cannot be regulated
or mifrks and bounds defined strictly until
the town is incorporated.
