be taught to contemplate with favor
the triumph Of mobs over the laws of
their country. Thus do the strang-
glers seek to immortalize their law
less acts, and replenish their purse.
Thus do they boast of their triumph
over the laws of the State-to make
money. Thus do they coin the blood
of their murdered victims-into mon
ey. They had better change their
panorama, if they wish to make
correct impression upon the public
mind. Let the first scene be a rep
resentation Of the Temple of liberty
and of Constitutional freedom, embra-
cling Justice, Faith, Hope, and Char
ity, the cornucopia and waving grain.
For the second scene, let the temple
be laid in ruins, and let the blue of
Heavens dome be erased from the
canvass, and in it's stead, paint one
black blotch, intersperscd with
streams of human gore, with fort
gunny bags family outlined, with
condemned cannon over PROSTATE
justice, and complete the picture
with few armed sentinels. Let the

meeting calling upon the county Off

GS~ The Marysville Inquirer learns that
Charles Lery, n partner with E. S. Gaver,
at Lynchburg, Nerada County, has runa'

from an article published Il week or two

Lag, of Lyncs burg, which is, as the Editor
of the Inquirer ought to know, town situa-
ted about one mile from Orovlle, and that
it is in Butte County instead Of Nevada. 1t

u, 4. Senator.

The following "idea" OF the Sacramento
Union, is the first sensible one VIC have found
iE its columns for some time:
But there is another element which must
be taken into the estimate Of inhueuces
which will bear upon the Senatorial qucs-
ton; The main Democratic strength this
year lies north Of Sacramento. No ScntoT
has ever been elecle1 from the northern
portion of the State, and We shall not be
surprised TO sec a Senator from the north
end Of the State made II positive condition
upon which alone they will 20 into caucus
or into an election Should our anticiparons
in this behalf be realised, one OF the Seniors
will most likely be selected from the follow
ing names-Aiessrs. Denver, McCoskle or
Field"
That the North wiz demand one United
States Senator. no man can doubt. The
people are for it unanimously, and every
representative in the Legislature from that
section of the State is for it, so far as we
have asccrtained their views Indeed, it
could not be otherwise, for if they do not
unanimously insist upon and demand their
rights in this respect, they would be recus-
ent to the interests and wishes Of their
constituents, Hands off, gentlemen Our
Representatives will select a man from the
north. Let the Southern part of the State
name her man, and.we will put two men in
to the United States Senate, we'll qualified
in all respects, as we'll in regard to their To-
cality as any other, to do good service to the
State.

For Constables for Ophir township


Mr. EDITOR:
We have noticed from time to time articles
in your paper relative to building Church
in this place, and are pleased to witness the
interest you manifest in this matter. The
undersigned were, in the month of Septem-
Der last, chosen as Board Of Trustees, for
the purpose of pushing such project to a sue
cessful completion; and some money has
been collected the purpose, which is now in
the hands Of the Rev. B. N. Seymour. But
owing to the fact that the Board of Supervi-
sors, and our gentlemanly Sheriff, ?. Freer,
ESQ, have kindly offered, free of charge, the
use of the Court room at present, and from
the fact that we think more money can be
raised next Spring than now, and thereby a
better Church built, and better lot and loca-
ton obtained, we have concluded it to be
advisable to delay building until next
Spring. The money paid in can be had by
those who subscribed it, if so desired, by
calling upon Rev. Mr.. Seymour; but if not
called for will be strictly applied next spring
to the carrying on of said project.
The people OF Orovile and vicinity can be
we'll and comfortably accommodated, If they
attend Church at the Court House, where
there is preaching every Sabbath.

Topics of the DaY.

After the first impulsiye start that
business had taken early last sum-
Iler Lad subsided into more even
and steady pace, it was predicted by
many Of our trouble borrowing wise
acres that, as the wintor approached
and the immediate furry and hustle
Of excitement had worn off, that a
general stagnation in trade of all
sorts would ensue. One of their ar
guments was that the mines herea-
bouts were ''not what they were
cracked up to be-" and there not be-
ing any real, and substantial source
from which a permanent business
would be derived, of course Oroville
must die natural death. The fall
laciousness of such reasoning, and
the utter ground 'essness for such
fears, is now being illustrated. Bu-
sines never has been in more healthy
condition than it is at present. We
venture to say there have been more
goods brought into Oroville during
the last two months, than ever before
during the same space of time,-and
as to the inefficiency of the mines to
support labor, the wonderful increase
in our population within six months
is proof sufficient of their richness.
At the election for the removal of
the County Seat last April, less than
a thousand votes were polled in this
precinct, and at the recent election,
there was found to be an increase of
over seven hundred actual voters, and
many, very many, were debarred
from voting for the simple reason that
the time prescribed by law was too
short to admit of possibility of re-
ceiving all the votes offered. Thus
has our mining population nearly
doubled. This immense influx of
the real, producing classes, is the
very best evidence that our mines
will not only 'pay," but that they
average better than any in the State.
