The approaching session Of the
Legislature and the election of
a U. S. Senator.

" ~ % SChdIUI.
As there has been a great deal said and
written about this subject, and it is not
denied that project is on foot, to elect
at the approaching session of our Legis-
lature, u. S. Senator to fill the vacancy
that will take place two gears hence, by
the expiration of the term of the present
incumbent, and as every body else has
had their say in the matter, we presume
we shall be allowed to advance our opin-
ions also, without a sacrifice Of our mod
esty.
When the "Herald" placed its name
upon the list of democratic papers, we
distinctly declared we would have nothing
to do with factions or clques, but would
advocate what we conceived to be the
true interest of the party at large-we
would urge and defend such measures as
we conceived would tend to the harmony
of the party and the veal of the State.
Acting in good faith upon this principle,
we are led in view of all the facts to con-
demn the project as unnecessary, unjust,
nnwse, and therefore impoltic in the last
degree.
1t was not considered necessary last
winter to 60 into an election for this i'm
portant Office, and we are not aware of
any new facts having arisen to make such
step necessary next session.
1t cannot be urged that if we delay, the
power may fall into the hands of our OPP
ponents, because we have just seen the
party pass through an election successful
ly, under circumstances as unfavorable as
ever can again exist. If the w higs could
not triumph with the dissatisfaction exist
ing among the Democracy in the recent
canvass, their hopSs are dead, with har-
mony in our ranks.
reason in the case of Senator Gwinn, it is
equally good with regard to his colleague,
Mr.. Weller.
We of the mountains consider we have
claim TO the next Senatorship, and we
desire time to look about us. The people
have right to canvass this matter, and
express themselves understandngly and
this they have not had-the projected
move having had its birth since the cleo
ton.
Will any man urge that the people
have not right to voice in this election:
the most important of any in our State
Certainly no Democrat will. Then, we
ask, what member can 60 to the Capital
this winter and represent the choice of his
constituents, when they have not spoken
or had chance to speak, in any manner
whatever upon the question:
The getters up of this movement NAV
sbf quite honest in their intentions, but it
certainly bears the appearance of fac
tion, taking, because they have the power
or believe they have, a snap judgment
upon the people, and only urged upon us
for personal and selfish designs. Let us
NOT give our opponents the opportunity of
using so powerful weapon against US in

prosperity of the establishment. The

may be amply compensated therefor by
largely increased patronage.

interested. The Placer Herald is the legal

SAD RIVER DISASTERS.
The Steamers American Eagle
and Stockton EXpioded---A


Number OF Lives Lost.
On Tuesday morning, at 90 minutes
past O'Clock, the steamer American
Eagle, coming from Stockton to this city,
when near the Three Sloughs, exploded.
Five persons were killed, four are mis-
sing, and several badly injured.
On the afternoon of the same day, at
O'Clock, the steamer Stockton, bound up
the San Joaquin for this place, exploded,
when little beyond New York of the
Pacific.
The explosion of the Stockton occurred
by the bursting out of the crown sheet OF
the boilers and the connection pipe on the
after end. The cabin was torn to pieces
by the explosion. A fireman was killed;
Mr.. Peyton, of Stockton, and W. u
Pease, of San Jose Mission, were severely
scalded; Capt. Sharp was slightly sea lded
and blown overheard, but saved; and SIX
others, names not known, badly scalded'
The II. L. Clay, going up, went to the ''
aid of those on the wreck, and took all
the injured to Stockton except Mr.. Pease'
who came down to this city by the Sophie
dlta.

New YORK SHAVING Saloon AND BA
THING Rooms. The enterprising Ste
vens has removed his Shaving Saloon
from his late stand in the Crescent City
Hotel, to Morrison's new building be-
tween the Empire and the Mechanics
Hall, where he has fitted up in a really
tasteful and luxurious style a new Saloon
and Bathing Rooms. We do not believe
there is another establishment of the kind
in the mountain region of California that
will compare with this in the neatness and
taste display ed in its arrangement. We
congratulate Mr.. S. upon the appearance
of his fine establishment, and say to the
unshaven, that is the place to be put
through with neatness and dispatch.
The Baths are all right-hot, warm or
cold just as you like 'em-and can be
had at any moment during the day or
evening. Particular attention is paid to
this branch of the concern, and the public
may be assured that the opportunity for
keeping clean was never better.
There are also baths for ladies, the en-
trance to which is the side door facing
Mechanics Hall.

Scott shot him through the heart. The
