All, no wonder he kissed you; he

But what is the matter with yop,- Wal

Walter now found his voice, and be-
fore he got fairly inside Miss Mary vas
his debtor for a round dozen of kisses,
which she took very kindly. But as ior
Walter his mind was made up. He had
turned over the subject during the last
three minutes. He would marry that
strange girl. He was grateful; she had
saved him from degradation, loss of char
acter, and everything else but would
she forgive him for being so free with a
strange girl in stage-coach? /? Doubt
full; but she should have the chance al
any rate.
The wanderer received a glad welcome
from his family and friends in his old
native village ; and Mary Fuller was his
travelling companion about the place

Quartz Mining Near Volcano.

1t has been well known to many, for a
considerable time, that this portion of Anna
dor county is rich in quartz 1t crops out ON
every hill, and may be found in every gulch.
For some months or a year past, many have
been engaged more or less in prospecting, and
numerous leads that yield a good per cent
um have been discovered.
The result is that miners are beginning to
turn their attention to quartz operations in
good earnest. We are indebted to Mr. Thos
S. Crafts for information that no less than
two quartz mills and an arastra are being put
up on GRASS Valley creek, below and within
half mile of Cloughs saw mill They are
as follows:
WALKER & Cos. mill IS most advanced. 1t
will be driven by water power twenty foot
wheel, and four stampers.
BOYLE & HoAGuN two hundred yards be-
low Walker & Co., are putting up mill with
four stampers. Water power; thirty foot
wheel
CRAFTS & Co.. above Walker & Co., are
constructing an arastra but they have a
good lead, and win put up a mill before a
great while.
This is commencing on comparatively
small scale, it is true; but then it is only the
beginning of the ending We wish the gen
tlemen concerned abundant success. Their
example is worthy of emulation; and we
doubt not that ere long we shall hear of many
similar operations in this immediate vicinity
Put up the mills-there is any quantity of
rock that will pay, and pay well too

divisions of the party and thereafter no
trace ofthe internal SC hism will exist. Each
has We'd with the other in the contest just
past; both have proved the genuiness of their
Democracy. Why should they longer con-
tend with each other? Common sense, and
common duty to the party and the country
forbid
1t is not our purpose to dictate to the
Legislature the particular selections they
should make; but it will not be improper to
refer to the claims and qualifications of some
of those whose names have been men
toned in connection with Senatorial honors.
For instance, that of David c. Broderick
stands prominent; the signs of the times IN
dicate that he will be one of the successful
candidates. If we are to judge from the
preferences, as nearly as they can now be as
certained, of majority Of Democrats elect
ed to the Legislature, the popular voice is in
his favor Mr.. Broderck s4erseyerance, I'M
daunted even when most bitterly opposed
and apparently annihilated, has won for him
the devotion of his friends, and commanded
the admiration of his enemies He has COM
PEELED the public to acknowledge him giant
in intellect; and in politics Hercules. As
Senator, he would make his mark, for the
credit of himself and to the advantage of his
constituents.
The young hero OF California Democracy,
Milton S. Latham, will be placed in nomin-
alton by his friends. lie is eminently quail
fed for the position. Gifted by nature, he
has improved his powers by close application
and devoted study; until, although young in
years, he is ripe statesman. As an orator.
Mr.. Latham has few equals, and he would at
once take his place among the leading Sena-
tors in Congress. His great services, in all
past political campaigns in California, are
universally known and acknowledged.
Bat we cannot make room in this number
to speak at length of all the aspirants in the
field. They are all well known as good Dem
ocrats, and well qualified From such men
as B. f. Washington, VIM. NJ. Gwin, James
A. McDougal, T. j. Henley, j. w. McCor-
kle, j. w. Denver, Jhon b. Weller, c. II.
Bryan, and host of Others, it would not be
difficult to select the very best Of Senatorial
material
We shall await the action of the Legisla-
ture, Rith confidence that the deliberations
of the members of that body, in caucus and
joint convention, will rebound to their credit,
and the benefit of the State.

Highly Important from Panama.

The news from Panama by the Golden
Gate is decidedly interesting Notwithstanding
it is rather indefinite.
1t was rumored that the United States
Minister, in pursuance of instructions, had
demanded Ss0O,00O of the Granadian gov
ernment, in the way of reparation for the
Panama massacre
Another paragraph says: 1t was well as
certained, on the leaving Of the Golden Gate,
that American troops were momentarily ex-
pected to arrive and take military possession
of the Isthmus
TO say the least, these things look omi-
nous. American troops once in possession of
the Isthmus, Uncle Sam will probably find it
convenient to retain possession

PLACER DIGGINGs AND QuARrz MNING AT
CLNroN.-The miners in the vicinity of
this village have suffered much from the want
of water, not being adequately supplied even
iu winter. Nevertheless, it is a fourishing
camp, and when they shall have plenty of
water, which is soon to be their good fortune,
Clinton will at once become one Of the most
important camps in the county. We also
learn that numerous quartz leads have been
discovered, prospecting finely; and that a
number of parties contemplate engaging in
that brnch of mining. This we are pleased
to learn; for we are satisfied that Amador
county possesses the material to become one
of the first if not the very first quartz mining
county in the State.
