cleared away, We can begin to see our,

Of the winnings. The election of two
American Senators from Yuba and Sut-

Keys is admitted to be elected Sena-
TOR from San joaquin, and Bell quite
certain of an election in Mariposa.-
Ferguson of Sierra has made the rifle
and beyond these FIVE, no other Senator
can be counted with any certainty in
the American share of the spoils. Add
these to the nine reliable ones holding
over, and the strength of the American
party in the next Senate is nearly seen.
tits barely possible that the opposition
to Democracy may have a majority
there, but the probabilities are to the
contrary.

will doubtless have full fifty votes at

A New YORK paper in description
of Greenwood Cemetery tells the fol-
lowing incident:
'One of the curiosities of the place
is monument of a sea-captain who is
still living. The old gentleman brought
with him from Italy piece of marble
and al artist. On arriving at home he
set his artist at work cutting his piece
of marble into fac-simile of himself in
the act of taking an observation of the
sun with quadrant. The success of
the artist was complete. The eccentric
captain bought lot in Greenwood, had
a suitable pedestal made, and placed his
marble self upon it, thus building his
own monument. He frequently visits
his own grave, and is fond of exhibiting
it to his friends"

PRESIDENT PIERCE-The chief Ex-
ecutive of the nation lately paid visit
to his native State, and though all along
his route the people were aware of his
coming, but few turned out to welcome
him. A custom-house officer or two from
New York went over into Jersey to meet
him and escort him to the Astor House,
but beyond this his movements were as
obscure as any private individual.
AT Concord, it was voted five to one
against giving the President public re-
ception. Notwithstanding this cold de-
termination on the part of the authori-
ties, few friends by desperate exertions
succeeded in getting up tolerable well
come.
Pierce has sunk so low as, in the lam
guage of Old Bullion, to make John Ty-
lers' administration respectable. Tyler
was certainly received with more eclat
by the people.

-quabbleS created rush or two, but no

American boots or vice versa, or if SO
at least the offence was forgiven without
n resort to blows. The vote cast was an
unparalleled large one and not to be
nationally accounted for. The vote last
year was 1,420, this year it amounts to
2.oS5. No such number of qualified
voters reside in this precinct beyond a
doubt.
The returns so far as received are
given elsewhere.
T Te can now begin to see the
fruits of that party termed Republicans.
Long since we attempted to show that a
result would happen from their action
similar to what we have witnessed.
We stated that the Republican party
was an ally of the Democratic, or that
they were the most impolitic and unwise,
body of men ever collected together for
party ends. The proof is now being
made manifest, even to their obtuse~in-
tellects. The American party presented
a ticket composed of honest and capa-
: bic men-they were men of characters
to which no exception could be TAKEN
We gave for the consideration of the
good people of the State, the names of
Dibble and Whitman for Congress-
The Democrats exhibited Scott and
McKibben.
With the disgrace resting upon the
State by the conduct of Herbert, the
murderer, staring them in the face, the
Republicans have virtually gone to
work to elect men of kindred stripe
Not content with letting the party alone
which presented a good ticket, they
must, for fear good man might run
ahead of the Democratic ticket, misrep-
resent the views of the candidate for
Congress in the Northern District, to
keep the few Republican votes that
might be cast for him, from him. They
have succeeded admirably. AS an ally
of Democracy they have done effective
service and doubtless will receive their
reward.
The American county ticket was a
good one. No one denies it. For Clerk
Of the county we venture to say, there
is no man living more competent than
7. P. Hawley. He has been model
Clerk, as every member of the Bar can
testify. His warm personal friends
among the Republicans voted for him,
but throughout the county more Demo
Gratis voted for Hawley than Republi-
cans.
A like fate befell others on our ticket
Ned Burton, who has served his constit-
aents faithfully and effectively, received
Notwithstanding promises, but few votes
from the Republicans. The fruits Of
their narrow policy are green but will
hereafter be gathered.

FiREMENs' PARADE-Thc Noun

strains of martial music, last evening,
through the streets. The young com

and belts, presented fine appearance.
We counted thirty-three strong, able

seemed just the men to "do or dare" in
time of need.
The "Mountaineers" faced the Journal
office and gave three rousing cheers, and
then proceeded to Temperance Hall,

were highly entertained by H. j. Nc

properly cared for and has recovered
from his lunacy. He gives his real name
to be Whipple, but says he had assumed
the name of Thomas Thayer His sto-
ry is strange one. He says he signed
his name to compact with others of the
gang that subsequently attacked the
Camptonville stage, but when he learn
ed what the leaders intended to do, he
left them, went to San Francisco, and
took passage for Humboldt Bay. He
went to work in one of the mills at Eu-
reka, but hearing one of the hands read
an account of the Camptonville stage
affair, he became frightened and left
He attempted to take horse from
gentleman in Eureka to get away with.
This is about all he knows, excepting
that he went through bushes and fell
over logs, but cannot tell how he came
to the spot where he was found, which
is near twenty miles from Eureka.
He represents that his imagination
was tortured with the idea that Webster,
the leader of the gang he joined, was in
pursuit of him, and says, also, that the
matter of that attempted robbery had so
preyed upon his mind that he was in
perfect torment, and felt relief in dis
closing the part he took in it.
The story is really singular one, but
we are inclined to believe in its correct
ness. 1t is the first evidence that Web
ster, who has twice escaped from our
Jail, is implicated in the attempted rob-
berry of the Camptonville stage, but
other facts go far towards giving the
story of the man found by Mr. Lothian
an appearance of truth.

FLOWING By STEAM.

The veteran inventor, Obed lIussey.
to whom, we believe, the honor Of having
invented the first effective Reaping and
Moving Machine belongs, is still at work.
He has constructed a Stesm Flowing
Machine, which was tried at the late Fair
of the Maryland Agricultural Society,"
The machine steamed TO the field, a dis
tance Of p miles. Arrived there, four
large turf plows were attached 10 it, with
which it moved off, throwing up burrows
each about fourteen inches deep. The
Baltimore Commercial AduertiSer says
"The work was we'll done, and il was the
opinion of many farmers present, that ii
was admirably adapted to the breaking
up of the prairie land" The Society
awarded Mr. Hussey, for steam pillow, the
highest premium and a diploma. We
hope yet to see the day when the soil
shall be pulverized and cleaned by steam.
