Topics of tlie Dav.
The Facts developed by the late
canvass, arc intensely interesting to
those who will take the trouble to
investigate the result, and the Leg
islature, before choosing two United
States Senators, should investigate
the causes which have brought about
a somewhat singular, but nevertheless
overwhelming triumph for the De
mocracy. Those members of the
Legislature who will take the trouble
to do so, will not remain long in doubt
as to whom among the prominent
candidates, they should select to rep
resent California in the Senate of the
United States.
In the opening of the campaign,
at the Democratic State Convention
in Sacramento, it was a conceded and
notorious fact that, a portion of the
party connected with the S, Francisco
Custom House, were all powerful.
They set up, or knocked down whom
soever they pleaded. They nomina
ted their candidates for Congress,
and for every other position they
chose, until surfeited with the spoils,
they threw off on their candidate for
Clerkship, and permitted the numer
ous friends of Mr. Fairfax to nomi
nate him to that position. There
was a large party in that convention
who desired to see different men nom
inated. They hail been beaten in a
v
convention which they attended in
good faith, and, in accordance with
Democratic usage, with a determina
tion to abide the result. They went
home, and engaged in the canvass
with true democratic spirit, and ev
erywhere the State ticket triumphed.
The minority party in the State Con
vention thus proved themselves dem
ocrats true as steel. They were not
fighting for spoils —hut for the Eter
nal principles of Democracy and Re
publican government. Here, then,
we see the Dcmocra y thoroughly
united and triumphant with a ticket
put forth by the influence of the Cus
tom House. There was no bolting
at the polls among those who had op
posed them in Convention.
What are the facts exhibited by
the record on the other side ? Take
San Francisco for example, where the
Custom House State Ticket was suc
cessful by a largo majority. The
Democracy of San Francisco had
nominated a ticket inimical to the
aspirations of the Custom House, and
it was defeated. VV ho defeated it I
and who were the traitors I Does
not tm* result point unmistakably to
its souice, and designate the traitors
who are now fattenning upon the
>poil- of a former democratic tri
umph { They preferred Black He
publh anisui, chivalric as they are, to
the til uuphof Democrats whom they
did rmi own. The chivalry of Vuha
prodi d a similar result in that
count . There was no bolting the
ehivu. v Mato ticket, but wherever
the t Ivalry could defeat a county
ticket 'iiey did not own, they have
done . They would have defeated
the t .ic ticket, had they been able,
if the; ad not controlled the State
Convi ..urn. These chivalric trait
ors, wi,.i nave defeated every Legis
lative .nty ticket opposed to them
that t ioy possibly could, are now per
amhu <hng the State in order to in
duce iat Legislature to elect their
leader.' to the Senate. The result of
the canva&s proves them to be Dem
ocrats only for the sake of the spoils,
and we trust the legislature elect will
give them just the quantum of consid
eration their treachery demands.
It is no pleasure to us to speak
thus of any who profess to bo Demo
crats, but when their “rule or ruin'’
policy is so plainly visible, it is the
duty of a Democratic Legislature to
administer a rebuke to their treach
ery to Democratic principles and
customs which they will not easily
forget.
The Valle y portion of Hutto and
the agricultural counties of Colusa
Tehama, have been rendered by the
recent rains in admirable condition to
receive the plow of the husbandman.
The agricultural lands in these three
counties, are of great extent, and ca
pable of sustaining a dense popula
tion. Favorably situated to a min
ing market, we doubt not the lands
art* destined to become populated
with a numerous and thrifty produ
cing class, and wifi contribute lai •go
ly to the agricultural wealth of the
•/ o
state. They are nearly surrounded
•» •
by extensive mining fields, timbered
lands, coal-beds, lime and marble
quarries, and almost unlimited water
privileges. In this immediate vicin
ity, all these interests are somewhat
further advanced, than that of agri
culture, because they have held out
the promise of more immediate gain.
A few years more will witness the
%/
valley lands of these counties filled
with the homes of thrifty farmers,
and all the paraphanalia of pro
ductive industry. Then the sub
joined beautiful extract from Thomp
son’s Seasons will be as applicable to
us as to the Briton :
** Venerate the plow ;
And o’er your hill* m.d long w ithdrawing vales,
Lei Autumn spread his treasures to Ihe Sun,
Luxuriant and unbounded , ns the Sea,
Far through his azure turbulent domain.
Your empire owns, and from a thousand shores,
Walts all the pomp of life into your ports.
So, with superior Swm may your rich soil
Exuberant nature’s butter blessing’s pour
O’er every land, the naked nations clothe,
And be the exhaustless granary of a world!”
The “Shades.” —Charley Legate (for
merly of the Haun House, Marysville,) has
just opened an eating house on Montgomery
street, a few doors below the United States
Motel, which he has christened by the above
name. He keeps all sorts of oysters, those
in the shell and those from the mountains,
and liver, and mutton chops, and veal cut
lets with round bones in them,and slaughter
house steaks, and cold slnw and pancakes,
and Welch rabbits, and everything else in
the eatable line that is good, antlis prepared
to serve them up at aM homes- o£ the day
and night, in ns choice a stylo as anybody
in the Mate or out of it.
Midnight I Prowuer» — Our friend Joe
Buckmaa informs us that he was awakened
on Monday night. by the stealthy maneuver
ings of some evil disposed person, who was
prowling about the house wherein he was
lodging. Mr. Bucknmn went to the door
just in time to see the rascal leaving the
premises and hanged away at him with a
pistol, but was unsuccessful in making the
enemy heave to. Joe also states that he
was assailed with a brick bat from the
hands of some person who was secreted be
hind the shrubbery near the foot of Pine
street, on Tursday night. These outrages
arc growing more and more frequent every
day.
Stage Streck.. A printer by the name
of Hugh F. McDermott, imagining himself
as *• wasting his sweetness” over the stick
and rule, baa recently made his ilcbut in
one of the San Francisco theatres as Rich
ard the Third. His personation of the hump
backed tyrant not suiting the “ hoys,” he
was greeted with a supply of “ garden sass”
and other luxuries usually presented to uu
«nccesslul debutantes. Better go back to
your legitimate profession. Mister Mack.
Race. We understand that a race has
been made between Mr. Humphrey's horse
•• Blue Dick,” and Mr. Maynard’s bay iwrse,
which is to be run sometime this week. Dis
tance, 400 yards, amount bet gOOO.
Whale Fishery at Monterey —The
Portuguese whalers at this place, says the
Pacific Sentinel, hate had a pretty fair sea
son this year. Since March last, they have
taken eighteen humpbacks, which hare
made over five hundred barrels of oil. or
thirty gallons each—or about lu.CKMt gallons
of merchantable oil, worth in the San Fran
cisco market an average of seveuty-five
cents a gallon. At this valuation, tiieir
year’s labor amounts to $ll!,00t>; and as
they have a crew of fifteen men, after pay
ing all expenses, they divide, ns we are in
formed, profit of §*‘»oo to each hand. As all
their fixtures arc only cheap and temporary,
and their capital small, we consider the Por
tuguese hoys have made a fair year’s work,
and have well deserved their hard-earned
, money. We hope sac of these days they
will be rich enough to buy a schooner, and
then to launch out on the Pacific deep into
brigs ami barks, and some day or other, fit
up out-and-out whalers, and go up into the
Arctic seas and run out the down-east craft.
Found. —Mr. Obed Sawtell who drives the
opposition stage to Marysville, brought into
our office last night a door of an iron safe,
which he found some ten days since on the
Marysville road about half a mile below
Lynchburg. This is rather a curious thing
to lose especially when attached to the safe,
as this seems to have been, both the bolts of
the locks being turned out. We have im
agined all sorts of things as connected with
the finding of this mysterious door, and to
settle our awakened suspicions, and satisfy
our curiosity, wc wish the owner of it would
call and tell us all about it, and take it away
if he wants it, for we don’t, unless he'll give
us the safe.
Down on Hogs. —The Mariposa Gazette
is particularly down on animals of the por
cino species. Hear it:—"That black hog,
long, slim and wiry, of the masculine gen
der, first person, singular number —partic-
ularly of the possessive case, and governs
circumstances, according to the rule in this
burg—-that hogs have a right to steal, in
vade chickens, and arc entitled to perqui
sites whenever and whenever they can make
a grab. The aforesaid porker was laudably
engaged in tipping over our cooking stove,
when wc took him slightly in the head with
a pistol ball, from the effect of which we
hoped to be able to record his decease; but
lo! after an absence of a week he has re
turned, S' eking whom he may devour. He
looks somewhat rusty and attenuated, but
wo knew him, d—n him.”
Serious Loss.—The Sierra Democrat says
that Mr. I’ctcr Lohtnan, who carries the
express and treasure for Langton & Co., lost
his holsters from his saddle between Forest
City and Galloway’s Ranch, on Tuesday
morning last. There was gold coin to the
amount of $2,000 in the holsters. Although
Mr. Lohtnan returned as soon as he discov
ered his loss, and made dilgent search for
the treasure along the road, it has been al
together without success. Some person un
doubtedly found the money while traveling
behind the express rider.
road between here and Marys
ville, by way of the river, is obstructed in
several places by brush fenzes and other im
pediments. We believe that it is a public
highway, and as such should be cleared of
these obstacles. It is by for the best road
for winter travel, being through a sandy
portion of country, while the road by way
of Lynchburg is through the heavy mud
and clay of the red lands.
No News —We made a search yesterday
through the columns of the Marysville In
quirer for news items, but in vain, the only
article that referred to city matters being a
statement that two uninteresting cases had
come before the Recorder on Monday. Rusi
i>ess must be dull in Marysville, especially
ia the whiskey line.
Favors. —Every noon and night the rum
bling stages foretell the approach of our
attentive friends the newsmen, with bun
dles of papers from everywhere in the State
Watson, Hedges & Hannon, Garnham, Mc-
Williams & Tymeson Major Graham and
Obed Sauted, arc all entitled to our thanks
and prayers for their prosperity and happi
ness, as a partial reward for their generosity
and kindness.
j lf&O* The Sacramento Time» has been
changed from a morning to an evening pa
per. It will continue to be published until
the arrival of the next steamer which will
bring the election news, about which time it
will become a tceakly journal, if published
at all.
Swow —The roads are rendered almost
impassible between Marysville and Downie
ville from the great quantity of snow that
has fallen. Winter »s set In early this
year.
The Sierra CitiZ»:n —In finishing up
his salutatory address to the readers of the
Citizen, Mr. E. II Campbell who Ims just a—
sinned the editorial chair of that valuable
weekly, says.—“ In relation to my inter
course with my brethren of the I’rcss, I
trust that during a long experience, in an
ancient and honorable profess on, I have
never violated its amenities and courtesies,
and it is fair to presume that I will not. at
this late day, break through a long estab
lished principle. Vet, w bile I shall endeav
or to avoid all personalities, I shall shirk no
responsibility—shrink from no duty.
“ Planting myself, then, editorially, upon
the foregoing platform —casting my lot with
yon * for weal or for wo'—l trust, good read
er, that our intercourse in the future may
be pleasant and profitable to both.’’
That cld mountaineer and pioneer of
Butte county, Jim Jones, called on us yes
terday and reports himself in the enjoy
ment of first rate health ami good diggings.
They dont make any better fellows than Jim,
and we wish he had a million. May be lie
wouldn't give his money a chance.
More Pkdestkiamsm —Wc learn that a
match will be made this week between
James Kennovcn, the great American pe
destrian, and a famous pedestrian from
England named Trainor, for SSOO. The
stipulations will he that the parties are to
walk together, and the first one to stop will
pay the wager to the other. If Trainor wins
lie will receive, in addition to SSOO, the nmg
nificient champion’s belt recently presented
to Kennoven in Marysville The match, of
which due notice will be given, will come off
this week. —S, F. Sun.

Interesting to Politicians. —It has
recently been decided by the Supreme Court
in Connecticut, and also by the Supreme
Court in South Carolina, that the losing
party in a wager may recover from the
stakeholder the money he had deposited with
him, though the latter, after the determina
tion of the wager, had, by the order of the
depositor,paid over the money to the winner
Resigned, —The acting editor of the
Shasta Courier leaves the editorial chair,
and Gen. Doeh, who has returned from “the
States” with a young, handsome, ami intel
ligent wife, resumes his place. The asso
ciate editor expresses his joy at being re
leased from editorial duties.
Mu. Peabody and the Arctic Expe
dition —The Advertiser states that George
Peabody, the London banker, with his char
acteristic liberality and large hearteduess,
made a voluntary offsr of ton thousand dol
lars to assist in fitting out the late Arctic
Expedition, under Dr. Kane, in scare.* of
Sir John Franklin
y.JBr Oh Saturday, says the Chronicle,
the water in the bay was in a state of unu
sual commotion, the waves were high and
the vessels rolled heavily at their moorings.
No accidents occurred, although some of the
larger ships slightly dragged their anchors.

Tn the Citizens ok Oroville anp vi
cinity.- Gentlemen —Your roads are in a
very bad condition, and unless repaited
without delay,will soon, if the present rainy
weather continues, (which we have reason
now to c\p?ct> be almost impassible. The
evils arising lrom a had condition of our
roads, arc too apparent to all classes of com
munity to render a rehearsal of them neces
sary, and as roads cannot be repaired with
out means, to work with, and as there is no
funds on hand at this time for that purpose,
the undersigned hopes that all partys who
have not paid their road tax for the present
year will do so promptly, without having to
be called upon the second time; by so doing
the time necessarily spent by the Overseer
in collecting,wilt he shortened, and a conse
quent saving effected in the road fund.
