OUR NEXT STATE TREAsURER.-Dr Henry
Bates, Of Shasta, who in all probability will
be the next Treasurer Of the State Of Cali
foInia--hc certainly viii be 50 if worth aud
capablity can secure it to hun has been on
a visit to Trinity County during the past
week. He started from here with the nten-
ton Of visiting Slskiyou, but meeting Ned
Marshall aud Anderson on their return from
Yrcka, be learned from them that there was
no necessity Of his visiting that county as The
American party had a sure thing" there,
and would carry the county by a large ma
jorty, consequently he reiraced HE steps.
The Doctor says that il is very difficult to
find county in The State where Sam" has
not got Z" a sure thing."

IARPeR's MAGAZINE FOR AUGUsT.-We
are indebted to Barry & Co. for copy of
this valuable periodical. We have not had
time to examine its contents, but from the
cursory glance We have been able to give it,
We should judge that the August issue fully
sustained the high reputation Of the previous
numbers. Persons in want Of anything in
the way Of periodicals Or the current tcra-
lure Of the day, will find an excellent assorl-
ment on the shelves and counters Of Messrs.
Barry II Co.

sure The motto OF " Honesty il the best
policy" has long since been erased from the
political creed, Of it ever found a place
ihere.) aud " Every ihing is fair in politics
has become the cry Of those who traffic in
votes and consider balot-box stufiing egti-
mate branch of the trade The American
party IN California has ihe opportunity, if ii
will only be true to Itself and The principles
il ayows, to soeure ihe confidence and support
of th. peoplc-a people desrous of a change
from State misrule ard party corruption-a
people ready to grasp AT any hope ior relief
a people ready to support, with heart and
hand aud will, any party or any measures
likely to be productive of reform. BY the
selection of COOL, capable, honest men for
their candidates they are sure of success
The nominations for State offices are, we be-
lieye, the best that could have been made, and
we have no doubt that they viii meet with
hearty support from the people. The nominee
for Senator from this District is represented to
be gentleman of high character and un-
doubted ability. In the other nominations
the motto Of the party seems 10 have been
forgotten. Many persons hvorably inclined
10 the American cause had hoped that the
party would have selected some other candi-
date for the Assembly than the individual
whom they have placed in nomination. We
think the selection u very injudieiJus one,
and shall be much surprised il he receives
auy support outside Of the Order, which, he
says, he Twill support so iong as it retains
is present T"rity Of p'i"eiPI0"
But the candidates are before the Peo-
rlc, and Of them aud their qualifications
the people must judge. A fe~ days more viii
decide the result, aud fcw months will show
whether the confidence Of the people has
been misplaced, or bestowed Spon men and
measures worthy Of support

IEvEs.-Some very suspicious looking
characters have been seen about town during
the past fortnia ht, aud several miners cabins
have been robbed during that time. In one
instance the robber dug up almost the entire
floor of the cabin, in search, probably, for
buried money; their seaE<, however, was
unsuccessful, aud they decamped, taking with
them gold watch and a few articles of mi
nor value. One or two persons have been
arrested on suspicion, but as yet no sufficient
proof has been found to idertify any particu.
lar parties as the guilty ones.

NAL STEAMERS OF DAY or
SAILING 1t viii be- seen by the advertise
ment Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Compa
ny, that the days for the departure Of the
Mail Steamers have been changed to the 9Th
and 20th Of each month. The boats Of this
line are all fine vessels, and the completion
Of The Panaga Railroad renders this route
decidedly the most preferable one for per
sons returning 10 the Atlantic States.

AN INTERESTING QUESTION SETTLED
The Panama Star says:

AN INTERESTING QUESTION SETTLED
The Panama Star says:
son the authority of Col. Lloyd and Capt
Pamar, who, IN 1927. by order Of Bolivar,
made a series Of levels from Panama TO Cha.
gres, it has been very generally believed that
there existed difference Of mean level be.
tween the Atlantic and Pacific DC, ans, and
many ingenious theories have been devised
to account for this (supposed) fact, aud clab
crate deductions in favor and against the
practcab'lity Of ship canal have been
drawn therefron.
" The difference Of the mean height Of the
two oceans was stated to be - fcet-the
Pacific, at Panama, being that much higher
than the Atlantic, at Chagr's
" II has been lately dec ded by Col Totten,
after series Of careful tidal observations
taken here, and in Asplnwall, Navy Bay }
and connected by accurate levels along the
line of railroad, that the mean height of the
two oceans is exactly the same, although
owing to the difference in the rise Of tide at
both places there are Of course times when
one Of the oceans is higher or lower than the
other. bu their mum teutl, that is to say
their height at half tide, is how proven 10 be
exactly the same.
There is no doubt that Col Lloyd's error
arose from imperfrctiOn in his instruments
and the difficulty he labored under in taking
large number Of observations in which ms
takes are peculiarly liable To occur

constitute our Board Of Supervisors were
perfectly satisfied TO pass the Assessment Roll

alteration, although there are Numerous pal
pable undervaluations of property contained
