The black republicans Of Pennsylvania, salts
fed that they cannot carry that State for FIRE.
mont have in their desperation, formed Goa
lition with the know nothings, in the hope OF
defeating the democrats. At meeting OF the
union state committee, appointed by the con-
vention which nominated the union ticket, held
in Philadelphia on the 7th October, it was unan-
imously
''Resolued, That it is desirable that all the
voters of Pennsylvania, opposed to James Bu-
chanan, the nominee of the Cincinnati conven-
ton for the Presidency, should unite on the
same electoral ticket on equitable terms, and
thus insure the defeat of the common enemy Of
Americanism and republicanism."
In order to accomplish this desirable" object,
the trading politicians composing that commit
tee have invented the following somewhat novel
plan:
"THE PLAN-Twenty-six electors shall con-
sist of the same names; the twenty-seuenth elec-
tor on the Fillmore ticket shall consist of diff
erent name from the twenty-seventh on the
Fremont ticket. For example, Millard Fillmore
and twenty-six other names selected from the
several Congressional districts shall form one
ticket; John G. Fremont and the same twenty
six names above referred to shall form the other
ticket. The twenty-six electors shall be pledged
to cast the electoral vote for Millard Fillmore
and John G. Fremont respectively, precisely in
proportion to the popular votes cast for each,
as indicated by the twenty-seventh elector on
each ticket. For example, if Millard Fillmore,
! (or the twenty-seventh electOr who represents
him) receives an equal number of votes with
John G.. Fremont, or his representative, then
oIaoforoI cboI1 In ,riu NIL
lard Fillmore and thirteen for John G. FIRE.
mont"
1t is contended by the republican papers that
this "plan" will enable every voter to act eff
cently against Buchanan without any sacrifice
of principle. The Fillmore men vote for him
alone the Fremont men for him alone and yet
by associated action they increase the chance
of each.
The convention which was to nominate this
mongrel ticket, was to have met at Harrisburg
on the 2lst Of October. The following is the
pledge which each candidate was to take:
"Should be chosen Presidential elcctOr
for the State of Pennsylvania, hereby pledge
myself to cast the vote of the State that Millard
Fillmore and John G. Fremont shall each receive
electoral votes equal to the proportion of popu-
lar votes given to each, as indicated by the
twenty-seventh Cor leading) elector on each
ticket.n
Both of these parties appear to be animated
by common hatred TO the democracy and are
willing to barter and trade off every thing in
the shape of principle in order to accomplish
the defeat of Mr.. Buchanan. The news received
by the last steamer, however, has established
the fact that the democracy of the Old Keystone
are abundantly able to carry the State against
the combined forces of the opposition, and we
are confident that the next steamer will bring
us the intelligence that she has cast her vote
for her own favorite son.

While would gladly forget all the events Of

NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, NOV. 10, 1885,

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, Of this county
met on Monday last to canvass the election re-
turns. Other county business of no great inl-
portance was transacted and on Tuesday the
Board finally adjourned. Their successors VIII
qualify and enter upon the duties OF once on
the first Monday of next month. the admins
tration of the affairs of the county, financial
and other, by the late Board is certainly deser-
wing of all praise. During their term Of Office,
they have had unusual difficulties to meet IN
the expenditures for county purposes, occasion
cd by the late disastrous fire, yet the amount OF
county scrip has but slightly increased since
they came into Office, and its current value In
the market was never greater than at present.
The ample resources of the county will no
doubt enable their successors to meet every out
standing liability, and in due time to redeem
the whole Indebtedness incurred for improve
ments and expenditures of every description.

SHOCKING ACcIDENT.-On Wednesday last a
man was instantly killed at steam saw mill in
San Francisco, by the breaking of circular
saw, used in cutting wood. He had strolled in
to the place as others frequently did, to see the
machinery, and was standing on platform
watching its operation, when suddenly sharp
ringing sound was heard, and, simultaneously.
large piece of the saw flew off and struck him
edgewise full in the face, splitting his head in
twain. The unfortunate man fell back, and
never moved afterward. The instrument of
death passed upwards, and out into Sacramento
street, distance of at least one hundred feet
from the mill. The unfortunate man was a
stranger in San Francisco. In one of his pock-
cts was found bill of sale for horse, given by
A. F. Hunter to Z. Shoye, and dated Shasta,
March 25th, 1856; beyond this. nothing has
been discovered that would seem to afford anv
clue to his identity,

A Tribute OF Respect.

AT meeting of Nevada Lodge No. 13, F. &
A. NJ, Brothers Rudolph, Caswell and Hawley
were appointeda committee to draft resolutions
expressive of the feelings of the Lodge upon the
death of Brother DAVID JOHNSON. The Commit
tee reported the following:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Supreme Architect
and Divine Ruler of the Universe to remove
from our midst, in the prime of life and vigor
of manhood. our well-beloved Brother DAVID
JOHNSON; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of Brother John
son our Order has lost firm supporter, and So
cety one whose course in life was ever charac-
terized by that henevolence and kindness of
heart which maketb a cheerful giver ard true
friend.
Resolred, That we deeply and sincerely SYM
pathize with the friends and relatives of our de-
ceased brother in the melancholy affection
which they, in common with ourselves. have suf-
fered by his loss
Resolced, That as testimony of our esteem,
we will wear the usual badge of mourning for
the period of thirty days.
Resolved, That the committee transmit a copy
of these resolutions to the relatives of our de-
ceased Brother.

Hon. JonS BTGLER.-When public man is
traduced increasingly by the enemies of the Con-
stitution and the Union, it is evidence of the
clearest character that he deserves the conf
dence and support Of the friends of both. 1t
is proof that there is something in him from
which the demagogue and the slanderer recoil,
and that he is uncompromising opposed to po-
litical rascality. Such man is JOHN BIGIER,
of California. Whenever he has spoken during
the canvass in this State, the Abolition press
has opened full-mouthed upon him. Yet he has
never failed to meet the accusations Of his enc
mics, and to exhibit their falsity, and to convince
hundreds Of the justice Of our cause by his prac-
tical and straightforward eloquencc. His past
life is an earnest for the future. His present
proud position is the fruit of his energy, ability
and perseverance; and it is these qualities which
will always secure for him the permanent re-
spect and confidence of his countrymen.
Gov. John Bigler has spoken in Berks, Schyl-
kill, Lebanon and Montgomery, and the returns
from these counties show that he spoke with
good effect. We hope to have the pleasure of
announcing other engagements for this distin-
guished Democrat before the November election.

EFT Tu BUTrE.-In addition to El Dorado and
Mariposa neither of which comes within 300 OF
our majority, the Butte Record pitches in and
claims the banner for Butte, having only the
small majority of 799. 1t is true that will do
very we'll for Butte, and considering its dimen-
sions, it deserves the encouragement, due to Its
precocous achievement. This little piece OF
presumption on the part of Butte we could very
well overlook, but OF monstrous, what are we
to think of the following addressed to us: "what
do you want with banner? Better send 1t to
some Democratic county" That was the most
unkindest cut of all, and to be twtted thus be-
cause we didn't give the pittiful number of "a
votes over both Fillmore and Fremont. Why
the game wasn't worth the powder. Now Mr.
Record if you will behave yourself and let us
have the banner, we'll send you small tin rat
tie which will answer your purpose just as well
The fact is we had very good reason for moi
giving any more, but as It is altogether fam'
ly affair we object to giving our reason-witf

would give reason on--compulsion."

One OF THE THUNDER STORMS most ter
rible thunder storm we have ever witnessed,
says the Chicago Journal of the 9th October, Wis
tied that city on Saturday night. The storm
lasted for some two hours, during which time
the thunder was terrific, and the lightning of
frightful brillancy and constancy. The hcav-
ems at one time appeared like scroll of fire,
and the thunder peals sounded like the crash of
worlds. The earth trembled to its very center,
and the more nervous portion of our people
thought our city was doomed to destruction.
The lightning struck the residence of Mr.. j.
T. Moulton, on Fulton street, shattering the
front door castings, and threw the door off its
hinges. The house had conductor, but the
electricity appears to have left it near the door.
The corner Of the Lake House was also struck.
No great domage was done in either case.

RIOTs IN BALTIMoRE.-At the municipal elee-
ton in Baltimore, held on the 5th of October,
that city was disgraced by series of riots and
outrages, growing out of the intense political
agitations
Various riots and collisions occurrcdin differ
ent parts Of the city and at some of the polls;
and not only were persons MANNED, but life was
taken in several instances. Those who fell,
however, were for the most part engaged in the
rival war of organized gangs. At least three
or four lives are known to be lost-probably
five.
A most terrible and fatal riot took place in
the Twelfth ward, at and in the vicinity of the
Lexington market, in the afternoon. 1t went
on from about 3 O'Clock for some two or three
hours, unchecked and unheeded, apparently, by
any efficient show of police force. 1t was reck-
less and murderous in the extreme, conducted
entirely in guerilla fashion, and almost wholly
with firearms The parties engaged were rep
resented as the Grip Raps' and plug Uglies''
against the New Market Fire Company. The
latter were dispersed from their engine-house
on Eutaw street, between Fayette and Lexing-
ton, by their assailants, who gained and main
tanned possession of the market-house, sallying
forth from it at different points as occasion sug-
hested, or as real or supposed enemy appear
ed in sight There were perhaps some two hun
dred shots fired during this protracted warfare.
In the Eighth ward of the city there was also
another battle. The foreigners, it is said, took
possession of the polls at an early hour, and
drove away the Americans, who finally, with
increased numbers came back They were
then assaied by their opponents, many ofwhom
were armed with muskets. The "Rip-Raps''
here retreated, when soon after free fight
commenced, bullets flying in every direction
One or two only were killed, but about sixty
persons were wounded

The Ocean Telegraph.

The U. S. steamer Arctic, which lett New
York in July last to make soundings across the
ocean, from Newfoundland to Valencia Bay, on
the western coast of Ireland, with view to
laying an oceanic submarine telegraph, con-
Meeting those points, has returned from her ex-
pedition. She comes back, having complied
her undertaking in a manner eminenty salts
factory The bed of the ocean, in the section
traversed by the Arctic, was sounded all the
way across The best nautical apparatus in use
for the purpose was brought in requisition, and
the fact fully established that there was no
physical obstacle to the laying of submarine
cable to connect the American and European
continents. The existence of plateau along
the line sounded was learned by Capt. Berry
man from two soundings, previously taken by
himself, across the ocean from st. Johns, New
foundland, to Valencia harbor, Ireland In the
recent sounding expedition, specimens of the
bottom of the ocean were taken up where each
sounding was made, through quilts attached tC
the bottom of the sounding instrument. The
greatest depth found was 2,070 fathoms. In the
deeper parts the bottom was found to be very
fine mud of grayish color, and so soft that the
instruments used for sounding not unfrequently
sank several feet in the mud. In nearing the
shores on each side change to fine greer
ooze was observed in the mud. crock or any
other substances were encountered endangerine
in the slightest the laying of a submarine cable
The whole sounding has been completed in
much less time than was anticipated and with
out the occurrence of material accident tt
retard the work. Capt. Bergman will at once
make to the navy department at Washington an
extended report, giving the results of the sound
ings, not only as bearing upon the practcability
of laying down telegraph wire, but impartine
al'facts Of interest learned in reference to the
mutations of the sea currents prevailing here
and the different barometrical and various phys
ical phenomena evidenced.
No doubts remain now but that the New
foundland, Newport and London Telegraph
company will shortly enter upon laying sub
marine telegraph coil to connect Europe ant
America.

THE Day SEASON OF 1S56.-The Pacific Sentinel
directs attention to the singular coincidence in
the drought of the past season throughout the
world. In California the rivers have been low
er than for years before There also has been
an unusual drought in Mexico, Utah, Texas and
New Mexico In Oregon and Washington Ter
ritories also, the season has been dry, although
not to SO great an extent as elsewhere. Through
out Asia, in British India, and China also, the
past summer has been one ofuncommon drought
In Europe the crops have suffered from the pro-
longed dryness. 1t is worthy of notice, that
this unusual drought was, in all countries where
It was prevalent-except those bordering upon
the ciie--preceded by a severe winter Hence.
1t would seem possible, in a few years, by keep
ing an accurate record of meteorological phe-
nomena, to make approximate estimates in
advance, of the peculiarities of the seasons,
When this shall have been accomplished, mete-
geological science will have reached its acme

VorE OF NEvADA.-On our first page will be
found the official returns of Nevada county,
The comparatively small majorities received by
Messrs. Chase, Shoemaker and Sigourney was
caused by the republicans fusing upon their op
ponents. Last year Nevada county was the hot
bed of Know Nothingism. This year she gives
the largest plurality for the democratic nomi
nees of any county in the State. Our county
affairs are now in the hands OF democrats and
likely to remain so for many years to come.
