The Last Number of the New
Yoi k Herald, received in California,
7 I
published since the Democratic tri
umph in the glorious old Keystone
State, is perfectly furious and flour
ishes its cudgels with awful carnest
liC.vs and vehemence. The poor old
strumpet! By chance, the Herald,
in its endeavors to be on die winning
■f-nlCj favored the election of Mr.
Bierce four years since, and the over
whelming triumph of the Democracy
then, induced the self-inflated con
ductors of the Herald, to believe that
the victory had been achieved by
their efforts. Indeed, if we remem
ber aright, it was the Herald’s boast
that they had elected Mr. Pierce. —
»Since the Herald has fancied it had
the power to elect to the Presidency
whomsoever it pleased, and it had
but to succeed in electing John C.
Fremont, in order to make good its
boa-t. Had Fremont been succes
ful, the Herald’s character and power
would have been established. The
boast of being able to control the
destines of the American nation
v ould have been true to the letter,
and James Gordon Bennett, who has
been kicked, cuffed, and caned thro’
the streets of N. Y., w ould have been
able to have set up and knocked
down again whatever party ho chose
—or, repudiating all parties, build
up a new one and place it in power
in less than a year. It was for this
that the Herald was fighting. It
O O
boasted of having the power to ac
complish this, and it was engaged by
the Republican party. Its duty to
that party was a pleasure to itself,
for it wished to wreak vengeance up
on democracy, and make an
exhibition of power that should ren
der its will supreme. In its fancied
strength, it set up a man of straw,
and bucked him against the univer
sal Democratic party. Had it been
successful, great would have been the
triumph ; but it failed, and great was
the fall. Down goes the Herald,
bouncing from point to point, like
.Milton's Bclzcbub, in his descent
from Heaven. Its pow’er is gone—
it is nothing but a “vain glorious”
boaster, indispensiblo only to a New
York breakfast room.
Since the election in Pennsylvania,
the Herald is willing to forgive the
political enemies of Frement, if they
will repent and wear peas in their
shoes for a week ; otherwise, a hemp
en collar is to be their natural neck
i loth, the first tree the place, and
iknnott will write the obituaries. —
Whew!
One of the evil results of the acts
of the \ igilance Committee as is be
ing displayed even now in a very
significant manner in San Francisco,
i the engendering of a vitiated taste
ior witnessing scenes of horror and
creating a fdesire to sec the actual
performance of unnatural and brutal
scenes, in preference to those of any
other character. We see advertised
and commented on terms of praise,
through the columns of journals pro
fessing to a degree of elevated re
finement, “a panorama of the scenes
• which transpired during the organ
ization of the Vigilance Committee.’
A panoramic view of the execution
and death struggles of four unfortu
natc wretches who wire deprived the
right of an impartial trial b y jury,
and deliberately hanged by cm organ
ized mob ! And we ta&rn, too, that
this horrible exhibition “nightly at
“ tended by the beauty, elite and
“ fashion” of San Francisco, that
mothers take thoir •children thither,
and explain to thorn the several scenes
of woe as they arc brought to view,
perhaps to teach the little creatures
the modus operand! of hanging, lest
perchance they should have such a
task to perform as their fathers have
hail before them. This is a sample
of the “purification of the moral at
mosphere” promised us by those self
constituted judges, jurymen and ex
ecutors of their own laws. This is
one of “ the happy results ” vouch
safed to California after the patriot
ic, self-denying labors of the purify
ers had been successfully accom
plished. Public acts of violence and
legal executions have ever had a de
basing, demoralizing influence, and
that the acts perpetrated during the
“ reign of terror ” in San Francisco
have tended to produce such a state
of the public mind is proven by the
success attending the exhibition of
those disgusting pictures, and they in
their turn create a desire to witness
the re-enactment of such scenes of
horror. A long time will intervene
before the sad influences created by
the acts of that body of misguided
men shall pass away.
Rumored Meeting oe the Governokrs
ok the Southern States. —A despatch
from Columbia, South Carolina, dated Octo
ber 13, states that reports were current
there that the Governors of the fifteen south
ern States would meet at Raleigh, N. C., on
the following day to consider what steps it
will be necessary to take for the prote'ion of
the rights of the Southern States, should
Mr. Fremont he elected to the Presidency.
Hoaxed —The Editor of the Cal. Ameri
can lias been “deceived, likewise sucked in”
by some one whose mare had given birth to
a dead colt, which he stated was the off
spring of a female mule. This isn’t the first
“Mare’s nest,” that has been discovered by
the General, and which has turned out a
humbug.
Douglass upon Political Parsons. —ln
a late speech at the west the distinguished
Illinois Senator said:
“Instead of preaching what men need to
hear—“ Christ and him crucified” —these
hucksters of a political religion forget the
fundamental precepts of their professed
Master’s religion; forget Him and the mer
ciful designs and charitable spirit of His
mission, and amid lies, and vituperation and
slander, hold up. not the cross, but “Dung
lass and him damned.” (Cheers and laugh
ter.) Is this harsh ? Let mo tell you.no
politician, bred in the very school of bitter
ness and lies, can “ speak so harshly or so
falsely as the abolition preachers of the
times. I have received from them from two
thousand to twenty-five hundred sermons,
filled with blasphemy, hypocrisy and black
guardism, preached by infidel, mercenary
ministers, against whom the accusation must
be brought of perverting the Holy Sabbath
and Christ’s Gospel to political ends. And,
iu leaving this branch of the subject, let mo
say, if you wish to preserve religion and
your morals, and your conscience pure, and
keep the cause of the gospel safe, shun these
political preachers. When the Riblc and
God are dethroned by these men, wc shall
become in this land as France in ’l)3.
Nor Disappointed. —The Sacramento
Union says—“ Fillmore mm didn’t expect
anything from the elections iu Pennsylvania
Indiana and Ohio, and they have not been
disappointed.” Ifthatisso; then the Fill
more orators in California “lied like the
devil.” tor every one of them proclaimed
that Fillmore would carry those States.
£#- The Assessor of I’lacer bounty says
iu a report to the Snrveyur General, “It can
be safely estimated that this county Las fur
nished ad,000,000 of the gold product ot the
past year.”
A new locomotive on the Sacrameeto
Valley Railroad recently made a trial trip,
during which it ran at the rate of a mile a
minute.
Discover* or Dead Bodies Near Sac- ]
R A ME NO.—The Sacramento Times says the
remains of a deceased person were found
lately near the Ranch of Mr. C. B. Cooley,
commonly known as the Grape Tine Ranch,
on the river about twelve miles below Sac
ramento. They were discovered by two
young men named Brines and Calhoun, on
ground from which the Inks had recently
been burnt by which means they had be
come exposed to view. There was not a
particle of Iksl* or even of clothing remain
ing, but a parr of boots were on the feet, and
alongside of the bones were found a double
barrelled shot gun, powder-flask, jack-knife
and twelve dollars and fifty-five cents in
money. The money was in two different
leather wallets. All appearances indicated
that the bones had been laying there for
two or three years. The ground is subject
to overflow in the rainy season, anil has been
a place of resort for'gunners in search of
geese and ducks. It is probable that some
one thus engaged has been accidentally
drowned, and been hidden from view by the
tules for a year or two, until the tires have
exposed the ground again to the eyes ol the
traveller. The same two persons found the
remains of another person in the same vi
cinity a few weeks ago. In this case there
was no gun, nor any evidence frrni which
the occupation of the person could be infer
red. About four miles nearer Sacramento,a
son of Mr. Huyck and a hired man made a
similar discovery a few weeks ago. In this
case seven dollars in money were found
along with the r< mains. All these discover
ies were made on ground subject to over
flow, but more than usually exposed at this
season of the year, and all bear the evidence
of having been dead for several years.
Two Fremont’s in the Field. —The
general topics of interest, says the National
Democrat, here have been for the last two
weeks of a political character. The excite
ment increases daily as the time approaches
for the great contest in November ; but the
chances for Fremont are growing “small by
degrees and beautifully less.” He still re
mains mum in reference to his creed, his
friends declaring him to be a Protestant,
while the Know-Nothings bring proof that
he has always been a Catholic— Fremont
himself refusing to deny or affirm cither as
sertion. The great laugh of the town has
been Grcely’s discovery of two Frcmonts,
• resembling each other, about the same
size, wearing their hair parted in the mid
dle; both belonging to the army, both hav
ing been stationed at Washington, and tother
ono being the Catholic. Such a ridiculous
discovery set the whole town in an uproar
of “pleasurable excitement.” As ridiculous
as it was, however, and giving evidence of
such weakness, an investigation was entered
into and the other Fremont soon turned up,
who proved to be an Engineer on a North
Carolina tailroad—a large fellow, dressed
like other people, and a good Protestant.
We received a conununication yes
terday from some person who signs himself
“A Contributor to the church fund” in which
the writer objects to the expressed intention
of the Trustees to defer the building of the
long talked of Church until next spring, and
suggests instead, that the matter should not
rest where it is, but that steps should be ta
ken to commence the building sooner than
then.
San Francisco Minstrels. — Humor says
that this execellent band of performers in
tend visiting Oroville shortly. We hope
they will conclude to come, and will insure
them a full house if they do so. Everybody
likes good music, and is willing to pay for it,
and the reputation of the gentlemen compo
sing this baud have gained, is sutbeient to
draw crowded houses.
Fight at Spamshtown. —Wo learn that
a fight occurred at the above place on Sunday
night between an American and an Irishman
wherein both parties were severely injured
and one of them had a large peice bitten out
of his chin. Nice, moral place, that Span
ishtown!
Reprehensible. —Several times,within a
few days past, we have been startled by the
cries of file from senseless, brawling, drunk
en loafers who, if there is a law to which they
are amenable for such nets, should be locked
up a week or two and taught belter conduct.
The Mountains. —We learn from Mr .Un
derwood, who arrived here yesterday, from
the American Valley, tiiat a good deal of
rain and some snow had fallen at that place
before he left
‘isSU The Boston Post has the following
personal notice: “Mr. Hamlin, Governor
elect of Maine, having been united in mar
riage last week, is going to Pennsylvania
this week to labor In the cause of disunion.
In what will it end?”
Steam on the Red Sea. —The iccroy
of Egypt has determined to establish steam
communication between various points on
the shores of the Red Sea, and has chartered
a steam navigation company, with a capital
of ten millions dollars, of which the govern
ment will furnish three millions. The en
terprise will be under the direction of Mus-
Upha Bey, the nephew of the Viceroy.
