array California against the doctrine of non

THE PURITY OF WHO CONVENTIONS.
The Marysville Herald, says it has an abid
ing faith in the purity of whg conventions.
and. we suppose, of the Sacramento Ccnven.
tion in particular. Now we have learned
from the verybest authority. that their couvep.
ton was not quite as pure as drifting snow.
after all; but that the nominations would
have been quite different had there not been
the usual amount of bargain and sale" dick
err Had it not been for such bargain and ssl.
we most solemnly believe the editor Of ,hs
Herald would have received the nomination
for Clerk of the Supreme Court Mr. Bowls
was not candidate for Congress. until after
the purity Of the proceedings began to mani.
fest itself He went there as n candidate for
the Clerkship of the Supreme Court Nevada
County also desired to the candidate for that
office, and by supporting Mr.. Bowie for Con-
grcss not only got him out of the way of their
candidate for Clerk. but likewise secured his
support. That similar contract was made
with Mr.. Calhoun Benham, may be inferred
from the fact that the delegates from San
Francisco who supported Benham, also sup
ported Bowie. Here then the fact exhibits
itself, that San Francisco has whig clique
quite as remorseless in their hun rer for Office
as the Broderiek faction, and candidate
from the Northern portion of California who
desires nomination in their state convention,
must bow the knee to San Francisco. If this
Is not so, why did not the convention nominate
Mr.. Wood of Contra Costa! S mply because
he went there with the determination TO abide
by the choice of the convention, and scornei
to resort to unfair means He received
very ''fattering vote"-just sufficient proba-
bly, to 'fatter the south into supporting ths
nominations. We learn hat one of the whi1
candidates, Indignantly refused to play the
game that effected the nomination of Bowie.
After his refusal to contract for support Mr.
Bowie became candidate for Congress, and
obtained the nomination. We do not vouch
Tor the truth of this statement of the impuri.
ty OF the whig State Convention-but simply
make the statement as we have it from whig
authority. We rather incline to the opinion
that Messrs. Calhoun Benham and George
Washington Bowie had better mount thc
stump, and help to convince the people of the
purity of Whig convent us,' and also to es.
tablish the fact that they only conse ntei to
run, because the choice of the convention fell
upon 'hem. To the stump, then-ys men Of

BIDwELL FLUME.-As an evidence OF
the energy and go-aheadiiveness of our
citizens, we must refer to the Flume
here at Bidwell. This company COM
menced operations less than a month
since, and their fume and head and foot
dams are already in, and their wheels
are playing in their fume Bob Lati-
more says he knows the claim to be de.
eidedly rich, and that they will begin to
scatter it for the benefit of the public
next week. Bob is rascally whig, but
the energy displayed by this company
compels US to believe him, and to wish
them. as they really deserve, the utmost
success.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY A young man
by the name Of Gray, who had been to
Berry Creek to order a bill of lumber
since the fire, was Yesterday stopped by
a man who demanded his money. He
hal none with him, but was compelled
to turn his pockets inside out to convince
the iascal Of his destitution. When it
is remembered that there are houses ev-
ry mile or two on the road, this seems
rather bold feat. An officer is in pur-
suit of the villain.

Mr.. Burt had avery narrow escape.
He had entered his Office without due

have reta.led large quantity of awful

full of fight. Three 6stlcuf transpired
in about as many minutes. One OF The
belligerents who would probably have

Several buildings not enumerated in
the above list, were torn down, in order
to check the fire, the contents of which
were saved The wind shifted and
blew directly from the buildings saved,
or they too would have burned, despite
the exertions made to save them.
Many of our citizens have lost all but
that indomitable energy which the peo-
pie Of California have so often displayed.
The smoking timbers were cleared away,
and buildings in process of erection, the
day following. The merriment issu-

The Fire.

Bidwell has gone like many other
mining towns in California,-has dis
appeared before the devouring element.
But we are disposed to believe that no
other place in the State has been so
completely destroyed at once, as has
Bidwell. The fat occupied by the bu
siness portion of the town, was swept
perfectly clean, and nothing of Bidwell
remains except smouldering ruins. In
the lower end of town there was one
small boarding house, two dwellings and
a stable left-also. several tents on the
side bill. The dwellings situated out IF
the town, and those on the opposite side
of the river, have stforded temporary
residence 10 our citizens
The fire originated in Evans building
corner Of water and miner streets The
room in which it originated was occu-
pied as Daguerrean Gallery. and the
fire was first discovered burning around
the stove pipe. The customary rumors
attending such calamities, are in circu-
lation as to its origin. The fact howev-
er is gel orally conceded that it origin
ated as above stated. One hour after the
Ere broke cut the town was levelled to
the ground. Such was the rapidity of
The flames that many in he immediate
vicinity had barely time 10 escape from
the buildings. There was but very
light, variable wind at the time, but the
dry wooden and canvass buildings burnt
with frishtful rapidity. The heat was
intense, rendering it impossible to save
any considerable amount of property.
The catastrophe was, however not unex-
pected, and the loss borne with the Ut
most cheerfnlness We compile state
ment Of the losses sustained. Some
Of the individual losses may be stated at
a high figure, but we are satisfied The
aggregate falls considerably below the
actual loss
