worthy OF the mighty energy that had
been displayed to win it from less fortu-
nate rivals 1t was glorious spectacle,
to look upon those burning plains last
night.
FROM SAN FRANcIsco.-Mr. Charles
Doane Nov 21, took the oath of Office,
after having his official bond approved, and
is now the lawfully constituted Sheriff of
the county. As Mr. Scanned has refused
to deliver over the papers, etc., of the
office, writ of mandamus will be issued
requiring him to show cause for such re-
fusal, which will be argued before Judge
Norton, and, no matter how decided, taken
up to the Supreme Court.
The "Chrysler Conspiracy" case was on
trial last night before the Police Court.
The evidence exposes such barefaced vii
iany on all sides, that after listening to
the testimony, | unconsciously buttoned
up the flaps of my breeches pockets, al
though there was nothing in them save a
brass rule and bit of tobacco 1t seems
that Chrysler, for fear that Wells, Fargo
& Co., would attach his interest in the
house of Fitch 4 Co., at Shasta, upon the
failure of his own house, in this city, and
to defraud W., F. & Co., made regular
bill of sale of that interest to one Wake
lee, who, in his turn, to carry out the joke,
presume, refused to acknowledge Chrys-
Ter as the real owner, after he got into
possession. Whereupon Chrysler brought
suit against Wakelee, and in doing SO had
to make the damning disclosure, on the
witness stand, that he made the transfer
to Wakelee for the purpose of defrauding
his creditors, and that it was made with
out any consideration whatever. He
further swears that he did this at the in
stigation of ex-Mayor C. X. Garrison,
who recommended Wakelee to him. These
are the facts, as between the ex-partners
but the swearing before the Courts, and
the rascally tricks of the lawyers, positively
exceed belief There has grown out of the
transactions between Chrysler and Fitch,
and Chrysler and Wakelee, three or four
lawsuits, all involving the same state of
facts, and known to the same parties, and yet
the witnesses do not swear alike on any
two occasions.
Some of the old policemen, not liking
the turn of affairs since the new govern
ment came into power, have resigned. It's
pity more of them do not follow the ex-
ample. 1t would save the trouble of turn
ing them out.
Judge Coon, this morning, imposed a
fine of S270, or ninety days in the county
Jail, upon J. L. Durkee, for cowhiding the
man Campbell on the public street. l
rather incline to the opinion that this kind
of public amusement will become less fash
ionable than heretofore, under the admin
istration of His Honor.
The Chronicle announces the return of
Ned Perizo, the ingenious mechanic, who
manufactured the "patent ballot box" on
exhibition recently at the rooms of the
Vigilance Committee It will be recol-
lected that on the day his friend and COM
panion, Casey, was taken, he found it con-
venient to leave town for the benefit of his
health. Since the recent triumph in this
town, however, he has become emboldened,
and has again concluded to take up his
abode in the lions den.
Mr.. w. H. Werth, who has distin-
guisned himself, since his residence in this
State, for his blood thirsty propensities,
left on the steamer Orizaba, on Thursday,
the 10Th inst, for Nicaragua. | shouldn't
be surprised to hear that he yet turned up
Major General, for he certainly possesses
courage and audacity to wonderful de-
gree Sacramento Union.
"Father," said cobbler's lad, as he
was pegging away at an old shoe, "they
say that trout bite good now" "Well,
