SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT SAILOR CLAIM.
We learn, that man by the name of Robert
Boyle, retired to his cabin, aud in state of
intoxication, left the candle burning on going
to bed, which set the bed on fire; and before
burned in so shocking a manner that his life is
despaired of. Our informant says, that in
pulling offhis boots, that portion of the flesh
of his legs and feet came off with then.
He is a Scotchman by birth, and owned a
share in the Sailor claim WHARF he has been at
work since 40.

DAVID c. BRoDERIcK.-We perceive an ev-
ident disposition on the part of some to ostra-
cze this gentleman. We regret having to
chronicle any such manifestation of feeling on
the part of our contreres against one who has
demeaned himself as well as this honorable
gentleman. His course, from the first day of
his advent into California, may be easily and
safely traced by the most rigid rule which po-
itical consistency might apply to it. He is
lsacrifcing, always contenting himself with
room for his Herculean shoulder at the car of
Democracy. Neither is his noble bearing du-
ring the late desperate conflict from which
we have just emerged, passed the remem-
brance of the Democracy. Reflections against
such q man as Mr.. Broderick come with bad
grace from democrats
In speaking thus of Mr.. B. we do not wish
to be understood as expressing our preference
for the U. S. Senate Did we wish to find that
gentleman, we would not have to trarel quite
so far as San Francisco.

STAGING BETWEEN MARYsvILLE AND BID-
wELL.-The public have no reason to COM
plain of the facilitiesfor travel on this route,
as there are three stages arriving and depart
ing every day from each place, all of which
are running full. We are glad to hear that
the gentlemanly proprietors of the two lines
are about compromising, their former run
ming for nothing having proved rather un-
profitable to both parties. As the Opposition
is showing game to the last, and determined
to wear out his last strap, until he shall have
fair share of the public travel, it is cer-
tainly better for all parties, to run for a fair
price of passage. This is as it should be.
There is plenty Of business for both-one line
running on the new road, and the other on the
old one, or by Charley's Rancho. The Mail
Line is well conducted, has fne-s stock, and
gentlemanly drivers. The Opposition is equal
ly good, arrives about the same time, and has
been of immense advantage to the place, hav-
ing reduced the fare, increased the amount of
travel, and in fact is the life of trade.

BU TIE RECORD.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER l3, 1888. {
SALUT RY

We this day commence the publication of a
weekly paper, which we design to be per-
manent at this place; and, in accordance with
custom which has grown venerable, re sub
init an outline of the prNkFes\wRidh AlAlN
guide and govern US IN its control We shall
use our utmost endeavors to make it what its
name purports-a RECORD of the County of
Butte and we firmly believe that, with the
constantly increasing facilities for communca-
tion with all portions OF the county, by means
of expresses, we can make it acceptable to
all. We believe such medium to have been
long needed From its large extent of terri
tory, transactions of the most interesting
nature are oftentimes being enacted in one
portion of the county, of which the residents
of distant portions remain ignorant, OF are
informed too late to insure concert of action
in relation to many important public meas
ures. To aid US in our efforts, we solicit COM
munications of general interest from each
and every one. Mining news is particularly
solicited, from all parts of the county, for
we earnestly desire to make the RECORD a
welcome friend to the miner. Such inquiries
as properly come within the scope Of our
knowledge. will be cheerfully and promptly
answered. either through our columns or
otherwise, as may be most suitable.
The REcoBD will be purely Democratic in
politics. We shall firmly and boldly advo-
cate the principles Of the party, as applied
both to the State and National governments
Believing, as we do, that it has been by the
observance of those principles that the
tion has attained its present glory and great
ness that they are still the surest means of
maintaining and adding to that glory and
greatness; that they are the most effective
means of maintaining the perpetuiy of the
American Union, without which we cease to
exist as a confederated republic that they
are the surest means of comforting the great
est amount of happiness on the greatest num-
Der, we shall labor in the Democratic cause
with cheerfulness and hearty good will,
limited only by our ability. Some may pro-
duce greater amount of good, but none shall
exceed us in honorable efforts to do as much.
The columns of the RECORD will always be
open to any thing pertaining to the interests
of Butte County and however ardently we
ourselves may advocate any particular means
or policy, we shall always be willing to per-
nit fair and candid discussion.
With this outline we present our sheet to
the public, and respectfully ask it and the
party to assist us in performing what we
promise.

The REMOVAL OF THE STATE CAPITOL
As this question has been, and is still being
discussed, pro and con, by various journals
throughout the State, we shall not deem our
selves bound, through any selfish motive or
personal feelings, to favor any particular To-
cation, farther than the best interests of the
State seem to demand. Those papers entitled
to respect, and enjoying widespread repu-
tation for truth and correct opinions, differ
materially with US in regard to the justice and
legality of the proposed removal. We intend,
in the first place, to begin back at the first
place of holding the sessions of the Leglsa-
ture-or the Capital-which was acknowl-
edged at that time to be the City of San Jose.
We contend that if it were legal to remove at
that time, in consequence of the inability Of
that beautiful little town to afford sufficient
facilities for the accommodation of our legisla-
tors, and those who are continually iocking
to the seat of government during each session
and other better reasons being to approach
nearer the centre, both geographically and
numerically that, if it were legal, after en-
tering into solemn contract with General
Vallejo for the permanent establishment of it
at the town of Vallejo, upon his ceding to the
State certain grounds, and erecting thereon
suitable buildings for the combined talent of
the State, government archives, sc. &C., to
the town of Benicia, done by reason of that
place proffering to remove it, bag and bag
gage, either free of charge, or on very rea-
sonable terms, and furnish a hall for the
Legislature to meet in-thst there are good
and sound reasons for its immediate removal
and permanent establishment at some point
where these objections can no longer be rea-
sonably made.
That Benicia is not suitable location for
the State Capitol was apparent to all who
were conversant with the manevres of the last
Legislature. As is well known, the streets
leading from the State House to the hotels,
steamer landing, &C., are almost impossible
during the rainy season, and there are no
places of public resort or amusement. 1t
was perfectly natural that the members were
in favor of an adjournment every Friday,
when they might have been seen crowding
upon the wharf, anxiously awaiting the ar
rival of the steamer, to convey them, as the
traveller would say, to some place where they
could have day or two of Relation from
their labors, seldom returning in time to re-
sumo them before the Tuesday following,
thereby rendering it impossible for them to
discharge those duties which they owe to their
constituents, in the short space of sixty days,
which is allotted them for session. We
nnhesitatingly say that Sacramento City is
the point that will meet the emergency in
every particular, being nearest the centre,
and affording comfortable and speedy commu-
nication to all parts of the State; where
secure levee surrounds the entire city, and
the buildings are almost entirely of brick
hotels of the very first class, atfording ample
accommodation for all churches and theatres,
with her fifteen thousand inhabitants, of un-

SPEAKER OF THE HoUsE.-The next Speaker
of the House of Representatives as the time
draws near, for the assembling of our Legisla-
ture. we trust that we shall not be charged
with being too fast if we indulge in some few
remarks in reference to it's officers, as there
seems to be but two gentlemen whose names
have been brought prominently before the
public, and whose qualifications have been
thoroughly discussed in connection with the
above responsible and honorable position, we
would not under any circumstances speak dis
paragingly of Benjamin Myers, who is ac-
knowledged by all to be a gentleman of the
very first order of talents, but while we ac-
cord to him all the above requirements, we
must assert our decided preference for our
own county's representative, the Hon. Richard
Irwin, a gentleman in the strictest and broad
est sense of the term man of fine talents, pos
sessing a modest retiring manner, at the same
time evincing a frmness seldom met with in
one of his years, maintaining correct po-
sition. With sound reasoning and an untinch-
ing zeal, we can but think, should he be chosen,
that the station will loose none of its dignity,
and that he will wear the honors becomingly,
and to the entire satisfaction of all concerned.
As above intimated, We are proud of Mr..
Myers, as faithful Democrat and able legis
lator, but he is superior in no respect to Mr.
Irwin The chief reason which induces us to
support the latter gentleman is, that he is
from the northern part of the State, and that
as yet members from that region have been
almost totally excluded from participation in
the benefits and honors of position in the ad-
ministration Of the affairs of state, while the
strongest support to the democratic cause is
given by the bold, hard handed honest miners.
This fact is becoming so notorious, and com
plants are growing so loud, as to engender
serious apprehension that dissensions will
neutralize the power of the democratic party
at the next session In addition to this, we do
not consider it out of place to mention the fact
that Mr.. Irwin, besides canvassng his own
county, visited every precinct within scope
of country three hundred miles in extent by
two hundred in breadth, and made speeches
in support of the entire ticket. This much
he performed, nearly all the way on foot, and
should enttle him to the kindest consideration
from his co-laborers in the good cause.

DoGs-DoGs.-I is utterly impossible to
make any correct estimate as to the number
of this species at large in our public thorough

and common council, provided there be any
such, to speedy abatement of the nuisance.
The hogs are '' some.' in their way, also, and
it quite surprises US that they do not more
frequently &c lose the number of their mess, -
the more especially when there are SO many
hungry hombres about. Who will see to the
reduction of their numbers

Nh. s UMPHRY.-The experiments Of this
gentleman on saturday evening were truly OF
an interesting and mirthful character After
giving the audance an opportuni ty to test the
merits of the Gavanic Battery, Uncle Dick
with his usual grace and ease, appeared in the
magic slippers, and after convulsing the many
ones with laughter, retired from the scene
in disgust.
Professor Humphry then exhibited the dis
solving views accompanied bya full explanation
after which the unbelievers were put under
the magnetic infuence--cutting a variety II
capers too numerous to mention.
The performance concluded with few re-
marks by the Professor, and the assemblage
dispersed we'll satisfied with the evenings
entertainments.
We understand lecture will be given on
Tuesday or Wednesday evening at Pratts
Exchange, when all who may desire will have
an opportunity to satisfy themselves.
