The Democratic Mass Meeting held in front Of
the St. Charles Hotel, on Tuesday evening last,
for the purpose of being addressed by Governor
Bigler and Col. Zabriskie, of Sacramento, wa
undoubtedly the largest political gathering ever
seen in Shasta. 1t was thought, by those accus-
toned to judge of bodies of men, that there were
but little less than five hundred present. The
meeting was organized by calling E. Garter, Esq.
to the chair, and appointing A. c. Lawrence,
Esq., to act as Secretary. The Chairman then
introduced Gov. Bigler to the meeting, which
received him with three enthusiastic cheers.
The old Governor then proceeded to the delive-
ry of speech of about an hours length, during
which he was frequently interrupted by the
hearty cheering of his audience. We will not
attempt TO give even slight sketch of his re.
vincng, the applause with which they were re.
ceived throughout Is the best evidence.
The Governor was followed by Col. Zabrskie,
in one of the happiest efforts OF that admirable
stump speaker. The Colonel, throughout, in
manner and sentiment. gave evidence thai his
whole soul was enlisted in the cause in which
he was doing battle. That he infused some oil
the same spirit into the hearts of many of his
party, their enthusiastic cheering gave undoubt-
ed evidence. And while he would occasionally
grow little too bitter in his denunciations OF
the opposing party. (for however we may diff
fer politically. yet, in political canvass, we
should never forget that we are all Americans,
and all have the best interests of our country at
hearty still it was done elegantly, and elo-
quently, that even his opponents could not be
offended.
S. II. Dosh, Democratic Candidate for State
Senator, was next called to tue stand. After q
short speech, (of which it does not become us
to speak, he was, in response to repeated calls.
followed by
A. c. Lawrence, Esq. of Grizzly Gnlch in
one of his happiest efforts. This gentleman is
certainly, for one who has had SO little practice
at this sort of thing, ofthe most effective and
eloquent stump speakers that we have listened
to for long time. With little practice, we
doubt whether he would have a superior in the
State.
Gov. Bigler and Col. Zabriskie left in the stage
the following morning for Bidwell. Governor
B. will be up this way again about the first of
September. route for Siskyou, where he ex-
poets to be on the day of election.

The House ordered the vote to be taken III
that manner; the abscntccs were summoned,
and the roll called. The vote was 101 ayes,
noes.
Mr.. Tucker then moved that the amend
mcnt, giving $1,000 to the Charleston, Ersk-
inc, Furman and Wotford Colleges, be
added, as an additional section of the bill.
Mr. Boylston said that if the State was
about to depart from lcr usual policy and
extend aid to all the Colleges, which had,
(happily for the Statc,) sprung up i'll differ
cnt sections of the State, he saw no reason
for making distinctions, and therefore lie
would amend by inserting IS, 900 for Mount
Zion AT Winnsboro.
Mr.. Tucker moved to lay the amendment
TO the amendment on the table.
Mr. Mullins moved to lay the amcndmnet
and the amendment 70 the amendment on
the table.
Mr. Tucker called for the ayes and noes.
The amendments were laid on the table by
Il vote of 80 to 10.
| The reading of the bill was continued
On the motion made to increase the appro-
priation for the support of the transient
poor OF Charleston to $1,000, quite Il spicy
debate sprang up.-rhc usual amount ap-
ipopriated was $4,000, while the estimates
submitted by Mr.. w. G. DcSa,,ssure exhib-
tied an expenditure Of $4,000, or more
than $4,000 more than the appropriation,
which was borne by the city of Charleston
Mr.. Sullivan opposed the increase, and
said the City Of Charleston should support
her own poor, that the report of the Compt,
roller General showed that there was no tax
levied for the support of her poor.
Mr.. Mcmminger said the gentleman was
entirely mistaken; that Charleston did sup,
port her own poor; that he did not have
the documents before him to show how
much Charleston did spend annually for the
support Of her own poor, but the Orphan
Asylum alone cost $4,000, annually, which
expense was borne by Charleston. ''si.'
The amendment was adopted by a large
majority.
The bill, after the addition Of one or two
other amendments, was sent to the Senate.
