4 kNow-NoTmNG FGGHr.- Our
dearly beloved Kye Eye friends of High
Rock claim wlgwam, have got into a
pow-wow, during which several natives
of the soil concluded to pow.ound each
other, and the result was that several
black eyes, scabbed noses and swollen
faces, appeared at the Court House to
have the matter settled by the Bldwell
Clique. 1t seems these Brethren could
not agree upon foreman, and taking
s.des concluded that might should rule,
and the result is that instead of declaring
dividends as mining companies ought to
do, they are paying instalments to law
yers, to prosecute their Brother kye-
Eyes. We call attention Of the Organ

that its influence may induce them to be-

THE LATE ELEcTIoS. Know
Nothing sheet in this citv, which claims
to be the organ of the Hindoo Estellian
party, seems to think that its friends can
ntford to smile at the exposures which
are being made of their outrages and
frauds on the day of, or before, the cleo
ton. We think differently, and, indeed
are satisfied, that in less than eight
months from this date, the exposures
made will be such as to convince even
the most preiudiced of the secret order
that J Neelv johnson has not received
a majority of the legal votes polled on
the 9th Of S ptember, 1879. We are
therefore not surprised at the anxiety of
certain men in relation TO the fu ure, and
the exposures which most assuredy will
be made.
From almost every county of the State
reports reach US of X n outrag,s and
frauds pcrpelrated at the polls on the
dap of election, and assurances are Civ
en- tba, every material fact will in due
time .,e 50, cad before tie people
The vote ncturnod will not fall far
short of 100000, being an increase of
nearly 10000 over sce election of 1888,
and about 5000 over the vote of last
wear. The vote cast fol Gov. BigleI
will reach 40, ,000-being l2AjoriIy of
nearly 5000 on the Congressional vote
of 1854 II shou'd also b. remembered
that by the decision of the Supreme
Court, not SIS than SIX thousand Eatu-
rallied citizens were denaturalized, soma
oil the ground that their papers had been
destroyed or lost, and greater number
because Their papers were d clared il G.
fal, having been issued by tie County
Courts, Courts of Sessions and Supreme
Coult Add these six thousand to the
vote of Gov. Bigler, for no man with

being Il clear majority over Johnson's
vnte, as reported. The estimate Of votes
excluded by the decision of the Supreme
Court is made upon the best data attain
able, and, we think, is rather under than
over the mark.
The fgureS above presented, althoueh
starth g-and III th msclvcs sufficient
to prove that Johnson is not the choice
Of the majority Of the freemen of the
State--are not the evidence which We
mainly rely upon to satisfy all that

any and every thing"

to purify the moral atmosphere to keep
good sentiments uppermost, and to turn
the strong current OF feeling and opin-

the denunciatioRs of religion, against im-

INCREASE OF POPULATION IN BUTTE
CoUNTY.-The late election shows an
increase of voters in this county since
last year of 1886, which we believe is
larger than the increase exhibited by any
county in the State, and comes within
ten votes of doubling the number cast
last year These thlrty-two hundred
voters have one Representative in the
Assembly The counties of Butte and
Plumas, which together cast over FIVE
thousand votes, have one Senator. 1t is
not unreasonable to presame that Butte
county will cast over 1000 votes another
wear Counties with from FIVE to seven
hundred voters. have member of As.
sembly, while Butte and Pumas with
over 5000 voters have but three. Yuba
County casts less than 5000 votes, has
five Assemblymen, and Yuba and Suttcr
together have three Senators. And we
might enumerate further to show the
inequality of the present representation
of the State, and the manifest iniasticc
to many of the northern mining counties.
We merely call attention to it, hoping
that the Kye Eye Legislature, after they
have purified the ballot box by the pas
sage of registration act, may. devise
means to equa'ize our representation.

THE PAcrFrc RAILROAD The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says, under late date:
The report of the Secretary of War on
the several Pacific Railroad explorations,
gives preference to the route on the third
parallel, as the "most practical and
economical route for railroad from the
Miss ssippi river to the Pacific ocean. y
This is also the public Judgment, as for
med from all the facts which have been
placed before the country. The details
of the examination of the route by Lieut..
Williamson and Lieut.. Parke, form an
important and interesting document. 1t
consists of an explanatory report, and of
maps, profiles and tables. Supposing
the Route to be adopted, the place of the
lermin ton of the road on the Pacific is
t. be fixed either at San Diego or San
Pedro, or San Francisco. The nearest
port, San Pedro, does not offer a good
harbor. There are but two good har-
bors on the California coast, to it: San
Diego and San Francisco. Supposing
the termini of the road to be Fulton and
San Pedro, its length will be 1,6lS
miles, and its estimated cost is SOS, go
900. From Fulton to San Francisco
the distance is 2,039 miles. The state
Of the ascents and descents is AZ, 900
feet, which is equivalent to 795 miles,
and the equated length of the road is
2,03l miles. The estimated cost is
S93'l20,000 for single track, and
without equipments.
