SHOOTING AFFAIR Yesterday morning
shooting affair came off on Pike Hill, which
resulted in man shooting himself through
the arm, instead of killing another man,
which he evidently intended to do.
1t seems that man by the name of John
La France, stopped at the cabin of one John
Barnhart, and became beligerant, and was
ordered off by Barnhart. He refused to go
and deliberately drew his pistol, but in do
ing so, fortunately for himself as well as
others, the weapon was discharged the cor
tents were received in the rascals arm He
was treated By a physician. and struck for

for the last month. Last night the Necro-

Each band blew forth their music
at the commencement, and tried to drown

was discord most decidedly. Criers, bell

known about the Crescent City Hotel in
Sacramento City in 30 and 81, is making
Political Speeches at every point where an

for Gen Franklin Pierce. He says he swan

MARYsvIEhE REPUBLIcASs-The Black
Republicans of Marysville held mass meet
ing in front of the Western en- Saturday
evening, at which Louis Cunningham pre-
sided. The number in attendance were es-
timated at from two to fifteen hundred. TX
Mayor fiawley was one oftheyicep residents
From the array of names which appear, we
infer that the negrophilists are somewhat
numerous among the merchant princes of
Marysville. They are much stronger in that
city than the X. Ms, and will, probably,
form the principal opposition to the Demcc.
racy in that county. There are evidently
more Black Republicans in California than
are dreamed ofin Ki-Yi philosophy.

toned in the proceedings were formerly

THE FLUNKEYs.-The Flunkeys succeed
ed in getting together big crowd, but it
proved bad one for their purposes. Capt.
Wilson, vas. chosen President, and P. s.
Carlow, Sec'y. The President mounted the
rostrum and made statement concerning
the regular election of delegates, after
which motion was made to adjourn to JUS
tice Jones ofioe, which was negatived by a
decided vote. The President appeared to be
undecided what to do, when whitehall
Flunkey twitched him from behind, and in
formed him that the Fillmore Club had ad-
journed in order to give them the room.
The President announced the fact. and
without putting the vote, left the stand and
proceeded to the room. A committe was
then appointed who reported a list eff dele
gates as follows who were duly elected, viz:
r. Bird, P. = Carlow D :. Downer Seneca Ever
Derret Capt. Wilson, Jas. Murphy Or. UBrien, NJ. P
Sauires Hendle, s Nj Smith, J. w. Buffum, 4. NJ.

After the Flunkeys had proceeded up

ance Some called for Zabriskie, and others
for Whisky, neither Of whom appeared on

face the crowd they had collected They
were in the predicament of the boy who won
the Elepahnt at rattle They had nothing
to say to the crowd who had come out at |
their request and were in attendance. They
only desired the presence Of the crowd that

To- day the Flunkey delegates will be kicked

Telegraphic.

The Alta Telegraph Line extends over
distance of about four hundred miles, and
offices have been established at Marysville,
Downieville, Forest City, Camptonville, San
Juan North, Nevada. Grass Valley, Auburn,
Coloma, Placerville, Diamond Springs, Iowa
Hill, Folsom, and Benieia. With the ex-
ception of Marysville and Placerville, 0ro-
vile contains a greater population than
any of the places mentioned above, has as
great natural advantages as any place in
the State, and location that must ulti-
mately enable US to control large portion
of the northern trade. The resources of
the County in mineral wealth, marble, lum-
Der and coal, are yet pndeyeloped but .suffi-
ciently tested to render each branch of bust
ness mentioned. sources of profit for years.
Those advantages, if properly improved,
must place Butte amongst the first Counties
in the State "he way to derive the benefit
of all these advantages as early as practca.
BILE. is to induce capitalists to come in our
midst, and the sooner we can collect around
US the permanent improvements of the couh-
try, the sooner will capital seek oir county,
develop our resources, and build up our
towns. The telegraph is one of the i'm
provements that we need to assist us in our
onward march 1t will not do to say that
these things will all come around in time
without effort on the part of our citizens
1t was the completion of the Ditch that
brought so numerous population to our
town; in fact, that built Oroville, and that
was not completed without an effort, and a
very serious one. If we now construct n tel
egraph to connect with the cities below
however much other cities may amusc them
selves at what they arc pleased to term our
pretensions, they will be compelled to ack-
nowledge that we have the spirit, determi-
nation and means to rival older towns of the
State, and capital, which always seeks the
! best places for investment, will seek our
town and county, establish Wholesale house,
in our midst, dig oht our coal, and ship our
lumber and mar BILE. just as certainly as the
completion of the Ditch brod8hs the present
population to Oroville, and developed the
mines now enriching those who are working
them. 1t is but a step further than we have
already progressed, and as VIC cannot stand
still, let us take events by the forelocl and
control and direct them, instead of leaving
them to chance, or We MAY find ourselve;
situated like a city somewhat lower down
river navigation drying up and the trade
of the mines cut off by railroad along thC
foot hills from the Bay to the northern por,
tion Of the State. Let us build the Tele
graph now, and when that is completed, WI
will take another step, and have the Rail
road, which must ultimately traverse th'
valley, establish depot at 0rovlle.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS. The Democrat
ic prospects in the various precincts Of the

tions are springing up in the different pre-
cincts. and the utmost unanimity prevails.
Here in Oroville, there is a slight rifle on
the Democratic horizon, which Black Repub
lican- Know Nothings are endeavoring to
blow into gale; but it will soon disappear,
now that the enemies of the party have made
themselves known. The Convention to-day
will place the seal of their disapprobation
upon the attempt of these professional office
hunters, and then the chief actors in the
Flunkey Mass Meeting arrangement, will
sneak into the insignifcance and contempt
they so justly merit. and the Democracy

That party that followed off the Circus had
some hair breadth escapes from total de-

lent along the road, that kills to a certainty
at least, a thousand yards. One individual
in particular, saw, with the naked eye. an
immense number of ''beings,'' dancing
around lis bed, with large "tin hats on
their heads. Another was ''certain that a
large anaconda was crawling in at the win
dow" while another declared positively that
a man was sleeping in the next room. and

crowd rushed to the scene Of supposed blood
shed AMI awful calamities, when some two
or three of the knowing ones broke and run
up towards the Plaza. As no one could see
the point or the evidence of any damage.
they concluded that it was a small sale

the victimizing of poor Crosby not long since

Oroyilie Telegraph.

We learn that the prospect Of soon havirg
a Telegraph to Oroville is fast becoming
certainty. The wire and insulators are all
on hand and ready for use, and so soon as
the necessary amount of stock is taken, the
project can be completed in six weeks. 1t
is necessary that we should take little
more stock than has been already subscribed
at this place, in order to insure its immedi-
ate construction 1t will be an addition to
the permanent Improvements of the place,
and as such, must materially enhance the
value of property of every description. -
Every person interested in Oroyille should
feel an interest in the speedy completion of
this enterprise. There is not business
man in town who would not be benefited
by being placed in communication with the
lower cities Next to railroad, the tele-
graph is the most important that we can
have, and when extended, as it will be, to
Shasta, Yreka, and Weaveryille, the line
between this place and Marysville must be
one of the best paying lines in California.
But we shall not argue the matter to the
citizens Of Oroville. The telegraph to this
place must and will be built within the next
two months, and it is only necessary to bring
the matter before our readers in order that
they may know hoa tbs affairs of the com
pany are progressing. We hope soon to be
able to announce that the contract for fur
nishng posts has been let, and very soon
thereafter, Oroville will greet her sister
cities by lightningi
