bis countrymen.

the State Library.

ble, has opened the saloon in the new building

man delivered an opinion in the case, last week
in tyhich he denounced the whole scheme as a
fraud and pronounced the claimant s witnesses
to be perjuries. San Francisco has obtained
a great relief by this fortunate termination of a
long continued law suit.
OBOYILLE, SATURDAY NOVEMBER 27,1858.
For some months past. Oroville, compared
with what it was daring the first two years of
its existence has appeared dull, and trouble
borrowing people have been led to predict its
fast approaching dooms-day. These fears
were not entirely unreasonable, but, as we think
is demonstrated in various ways, they were un
founded. tV hen the South Feather and Ophir
t\ ater Company’s Ditch was in process of
construction, those who were engaged in build
ing up the town, anticipated a rich harvest of
gold from our then extensive fields of surface
diggings, extending for miles aronnd. Those
who held out until the ditch was completed
and the diggings were fairly opened realized a
fullfilment of their calculations ; others of the
pioneers were compelled to abandon their
places of business, before the “substance of
things heped for" had been placed within their
reach. The summer after the ditch was com
pleted saw our streets filled with miners and
every branch of trade in full tide of prosperi
ty. Those were our days of opulence, and of
extravagance. At least one-third of the places
of business opened, were opened for the season
of excessive wealth, and with its expenditure,
they were closed and their conductors went
elsewhere, fortune seeking. The sudden dull
ness following that brilliant season was made
more painfully apparent by comparison, and
the dolefully predicted fate of the town, had
many sad believers. Let us take a glance at
what has been done and what is now doing
since the “dull limes"commenced, and see how
we stand, relatively.
Now and then, since the town received a
favorable reputation from its early days of
prosperity, men of enterprise and capital have
come here, and after a quiet, careful inspection
of our resources and channels of trade, have
concluded to establish themselves here, and so
quietly have they done so, that the fact of their
presence has hardly impressed itself upon our
minds; and who they are or what they arc
driving at are questions nobody has thought of
asking. It is to the business of these compuri
tively new comers we have thought to draw
the attention of our readets.
Where, in our days of plenty and profligacy
we saw hurrying, busy crowds of money spend
ers, is now heard, in place of fascinating strains
of music, t' e ceaseless banging of the tinman’s
hammer. Upon a lot of land which in the
“good days of ’56" would have commanded a
price four times greater than its present real
value, we see erected an iron-worker’s shop, in
which are made what in the "good times” we
neither needed nor cared for.—iron doors and
shutters. On Montgomery street, and in a
portion thereof where the rush of business was
the grea'est in early times, but which was snb
scqenlly thought abandoned by the supporters
of trade, has lately been erected a foundry for
casting iron and brass. A machine shop is
attached thereto. Near the foundry, a grist
mill is going up, and before many weeks it will
be find ng our market in home msdc flour.
Where a whiskey shop flourished in “better
times” a wholesale and retail dry goods store
has been opened, and the fine brick block in
which it is located, has taken the place of hur
riedly erected wooden shanties. Whore scores
of mechanics made liberal wages in erecting
and finishing houses and stores, a fewer num
ber of their class have established permanent
shops or settled residences.
What do all these facts lead us to conclude ?
Certainly not that there is more money in the
market now than there was in our earlier days,
but just as certainly that so far as the means
for saving what we make is concerned, wc are
iiifinileAy better conditioned than then. In
many particulars, we are now, as a community,
self-dependent. What were furnished us by
the manufactories of San Francisco, Sacra
mento and Marysville, we now can have made
in the shops of our neighbors, and those who
were compelled to make their purchases of
merchandise in the markets below, now find
their wants supplied at home.
With the exhaustion or abandonment of our
surface diggings vanished much of our surface
prosperity, but that which was worthy to re
main stands yet, founded on the lasting bed
rock of real, substantial permanency.
How is that ?—An inquisitive friend at
our elbow, looking up from a paper in which
he has been reading the announcement, that in
consideration of Mr. J. Glancy Jones’ defeat
for Congress in Pennsylvania, be had been ap
pointed to the Austrian Mission, asks us the
very natural poser.—“suppose Douglas is suc
cessful in Illinois, what w ill old Duck do for
Lincoln ?”
Another Rf.blke to the Administration.
—The recent lamming by Morrissey of the
deputy Surveyor of the port of New York is a
terrible blow to the Administration. It is
said that old Buck went in for several Treasu
ry notes on the result of the fight. The rumor
that Heenan is to receive a consular appoint
ment, ueeds confirmation.
Nearly a Fire —San Andreas was endan
gered one day last week from a fire which
caught in a Chinese bouse in that town.
This is another instance worth quoting as a
warning to property owners nqt to let their
honses to the fire-setting intruders from the
Flowery Kmpire.
New Papers. —The Morning Star is the
name of a seven by nine Administration paper
just hatched in Sacramento. A paper of the
“independent" character, styled the Cachville
Spectator is published at Chachville, Yolo
countv. Mr. P. Furgnson is its editor and
proprietor.
Chinaman Bobbed. While on his way
from San Juan to Indian Valley, one day last
week, a Chinaman was met in the road by two
white men and robbed of a forty dollar watch
two revolvers and six bowie knives. The Si
erra Democrat cites this as a waffling to trav:
eliers to go profusely armed.
Some of our Doings.
The Illinois Election.
It is probable that in oar next issue we shall
be able to lay before our readers such returns
from the Illinois election as will show enough
of the result to enable os to determine whether
the true democracy of that Slat%huve battled
victoriously or disastrously with*the unholy
alliance of Lecompton tes and Republicans ar
rayed against them. The result of no State
election has ever been looked forward to with
such intense interest as is this, for in no previ
ous countest of the kind have so great and vital
principles been at stake. It is to determine
whether a large and intelligent community,
hitherto firm in the faith of which Senator
Douglas is the distinguished expounder, has or
has not been driven into a desertion of its
couservitive sentiments by the insane course of
a President in whose election that State was
one of the most instrumental. By the Illinois
election we are to have demonstrated to what
an extent tho base use of Federal power and
patronage can influence, for evil, the course of
State politics. This contest will show how
much success a sectioimhzed President has
achieved in destroying the faith of the people
of Illinois in the doctrine of Popular Sover
eignty.
That the dishonest course o( the Adminis
tration in relation to Kansas has had the effect
to weaken the confidence of the people in re
gard to tho correctness ot the principles enun
ciated by the Kansas-Ncbraska Act. we do
not believe but that popular faith in the ap
plication of those principles by those now at
the head of government affairs has been de
stroyed is beyond a question ; —the recent
elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana. lowa,
fully attest this fact. In Pennsylvania the
fight was generally resolved into a battle be
tween two sectional parties, the Republican
and the Lecompton, and as the result has
shown, the latter has met with overwhelm
ing defeat. The Democracy of Illinois now find
themselves standing as in 1856; —firm upon
the bn ad platform of popular sovereignty, and
arrayed against them is a sectional party,
against which Mr. Buchanan fought unsuc
cessfully in his own Stale, and with which he
seeks to defeat the conservative men of Illinois.
Thus by a violation of plighted faith, he gave
strength to an element against which his party
successfully contended for his own election ;
by the dishonest use of entrusted power he de
liberately seeks to add strength to that ele
ment in another State. The aid he unwitting
ly gave the enemies of true democracy in one
State, he purposely renders in another.
However the Illinois election may have ter
minated, one thing is most certain : the de
mocracy, the Douglas democracy, is the strong
est oae party in that State, and if it is beaten
Mr. Buchanan’s control of Federal favor-seek
ers and office holders lias proved most perfect,
for to have accomplished such a result, their
alliance with the Republicans must have been
ns thorough as their master could have desired.
AVe can hardly believe, however, that the
President has faithful minims enough in Illi
nois to defeat Douglas, coalesce us readily and
with as much unity as they may.
San Francisco Delinquents. —Tho San
Francisco Daily Tunes, Supplement, is the
form in which the Delinquent tax list of that
city and county is issued. It fills eight large,
finely printed pages, and is the most extensive
printed catalogue ever published in California.
It is very neatly executed, and altogether, is
the “fattest take” we have noticed in many
days. The San Franciscans, arc if anything
more dilatory about settling their taxes than
we of Butte.
Escaped Prisoner. Rattlesnake Dick,
(probably tbe same who occupied a cell in the
Butte county jail for several months) escaped,
one day last week from the Placer county jail.
The carelessness of a deputy Sheriff was the
ause of his escape.
Rumor.— lt is reported that Mr. Vincent E.
Geiger, Indian agent at Nome Hackee has
joined the Methodist church and is now fitting
himself for the ministry. His leligious exer
cises will be so conducted as not to interfere
with his duties at the reservation.
"Hastr thee AVinter, Haste Away.” —
AA’illiara Winter, is the name of a thief who
broke out of the San Francisco jail the other
day. He was retaken and locked np. In con
sideration of the fact that the accused is quite
a young man, it may be remarked that •• AVin
ter has set in carlv.”
After the Gamblers. — Three persons
charged with keeping a gambling house were
arrested in San Francisco last week, and the
police have been instructed to ferret out and
arrest all persons suspected of violating the
gambling act.
Suicide.— lt is been discovered that Cbas.
Baldwin, the young man whose mysterious dis
appearance from a sail boat in a creek near
Petaluma, was noted last week, committed
suicide by attaching a largo stone to his neck
and jumping into the water. His inducement
to self-destruction is a mystery.
Nonsense. — Omitting to publish an ac
count of thcilecnau and Morrissey prize fight,
and then drawing attention to its details in
another newspaper by writing a long homily
upon the brutality of fisticuffing—as some of
the down river papers have done.
Improving Moral*. —The papers say that
for the period of five weeks preceding Nov. 7th
no less than forty five convicts were lodged in
the Penitentiary. Some other papers keep
telling us that the morals of California are
improving. Willing to believe both stories,
we take it for granted that by the incarcera
tion of forty-five rascals in a little over a month
the moral element did receive a “hist,” and up
on the same hypothesis argue that it would be
still farther elevated if ninety skaliywags pef
month were moved to San Quentin.
Broom Manufactory. —Until a lew days
since, and when taking a fide down below town,
we never knew that the manufacture of brooms
Was carried on so near us. Just below the
powder house, is a little cottage setting in an
enclosure, back, some distance from the street,
and this cabin is the home and workshop of a
broom maker. That such business is carried
on in the place aforesaid, is IndicatTaUby the
display of several short and long handled speci
mens of the broom maker's handiwork, very
neatly made an 1 appearing of excellent quali
ty. Wc are told that these brooms are fur
nished to our store keepers at a price which
induces them to patronize this home factory. in
preference to the dealers below. We hope to
see Oroville supplier! with brooms from this
factory, anil to see its enterprising founder,
sweep every competitor from the fie’d.
Trinity and Nevada.— The fight (and
there is a little scrimmage) going on bet teen
the editors of the Trinity Journal and the Ne
vada Motional is made delightfully conspicu
ous in variiiao ways and from many points of
sight, by the two warriors. They have both
been very funny and very bitter, and nary one
has been on top more than half the time so
far and whereas they arc sort o’ running the
thing into the ground, we reckon they had bet
ter teiminate the Equable cither by the com
plete wiping out of one or the other of them
or by a mutual drying up. As a Voluntary
adviser, We recommend the latter course.
Much Lunacy. —Nearly every day arrests
of insane persons are chronicled by the San
Franci-co papers. We think lunacy must be
on the increase. We think moreover there
must be some local cause or causes here in
California inducing Insanity, for it really seems
that it is far more prevalent here than in other
States. Perhaps the scientific investigation of
the subject by learned medical men might
bring about some beneficial results ; for with
the cause shown us, perhaps its partial remov
al could be accomplished.

lace, who was tried and Convicted of murder
in the first degree in the District Court for this
county, for the killing of James Fox, having
been granted a new trial and a change of
venue to Yuba county, had his trial last week,
in Judge Barbour's court and was pronounced
guilty of murder in the second degree. The
jury recommended him to the mercy of the
Court. District Attorney Hatch of Vuba
county, Hon. Thomas Wells and Mr. Z. Mont
gomery were engaged in the prosecution and
Messrs. Bryan, Waters, Filkins and Tidball
for the defence.
Leaving Salt Lake.— Reports from Los
Angeles state that a large number of people
are leaving Salt Lake for California. Forty
thousand oxen arc selling there at 546 per
yoke, and wagons at 525 each. One hundred
and twenty-five thousand sheep are on the
plains for California. Indians are saucy and
thievish on the road from Salt Lake to San
Bernardino.
Game Plenty. —The restaurants make great
displays of ducks, geese, quail, rabbits,etc.,
now-a-days. Antelope are said to abound on
the plains beyond Hamilton. Shot guns and
rifles arc in great demand among our amateur
sportsmen.
New Scenery.— The Marysville Theatre
has been refitted with a set of beautiful scenes
from the pencil of Mr. George Tyrrel, the well
known artist. The National speaks of these
scenes as equal to any, if not superior to all, in
the State.
Says he Didn't. — A man who signs his
name S. Oaks, denies through the columns of
the Nevada Democrat, having administered a
fatal dose of croton oil to an old negro who
recently died in Nevada county. He avers
most positively that he didn't do it and more
over that he never saw a drop of croton oil.
He is evidently opposed to being dubbed "put
son Oaks.”
Sheep Coming to California. — The San
Joaquin Republican gives the following ex
tract from a letter received by a gentleman
connected with that office, from George H.
Ester, dated at Santa Fe, October sth in which
he says :
War is declared against the Navajo Indians,
and already the United States troops have had
two engagements with them, with some success.
We expect, in eight or ten days to hear a good
account of them.
Peters of your State, is now here, on his way
to California, with the finest lot of sheep (say
ten thousand) that was ever driven from the
United States across to Calif rnia. The most
of them are ewes and fine bucks. Some of
them cost over three hundred dollars each.
They are Southdowns, and others of the finest
breeds that the States of Kentucky and Ohio
could famish. He expects to winter about
240 miles south of this on the Rio Grande. He
is very uneasy for fear the Navajos will fall
upon him and ruin him, although he hastweuty
five men in his company.
Lo the Poor Diggerlss!
We recently qnotod from the Mariposa Gazette
a “chaste paragraph/’ relating to a, bpaall party of
the daughters of the forest, who visited Mariposa
and were chased out of town by some rude young
men. It *|>pears that a printer’s devil attempted
to afford shelter to the unprotected females, but was
compelled to abandon them to the tender mercies
of the crowd. In the Star, of this week, we find
the following “pathetic’’ lines ;

A Difference.—The subjoined well-based
comments are from the Stockton Democrat:
“Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, in a late
speech at Portland. Maine, declared that a
Territorial Legislature enn exclude slavery by
refusing to protect it. Judge Douglas for an
nouncing that fact was denounced by the Bu
chanan press of this State as being a Black
Republican ; but not a word have they said
against, the Misslssippian for declaring the
same fact. They sec that they made them
selves ridiculous in their charge against Doug
las and they do not wish to become ludicrous
by making the same charge against Davis, al
though he has given them the same excuse fur
making so foolisii an assertion.
The Isthmus Question. —The Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune, wri
ting October 11th, says:
“Grave difficulty on the Nicaragua question
supervenes. Jarez now denies having made
any repudiations as conditions to his reception
by our government and refuses to perform any
pretended repudiations. He will probably be
dismissed by Oen. Cass, and orders will be
likely given to take possession of the transit
route by naval force till the demand of this
Government shall be conceded by Nicaragua.
Deer Chase—On Saturday last somebody’s
long-logged “valler dorg” pot after a large
buck in the neighborhood of Murry creek, and
chased him directly through San Andreas.
They passed between the Catholic Church and
the houses on the upper end of Main street, en

a gentleman of this place saw three deer on
