Free Fight.

There was but one fight in Bidwell ,
on the day of the election, and that
came sufficiently near the ridiculous to
excite general applause. One large and
powerful man called Sam-not political
"Sam''-but Sam Mccormick, had Ia
ken glass too much, and mixing in
with crowd got pushed over twice.
becoming exasperated, he pitched into
en- hombre who fought entirely to fast
for him, and punched him blind in less
than a minute. Recovering himself, a
short time afterwards, he weighed tre-
mendous left-hand blow to a disinteres-
ted party, and sent him sprawllng over
u wood pile, and fell over after him.
The assaulted party gathered stick of
wood. and had the crowd not interfered, 8,
moor Sam would have received a second
Aogging, and all because he had taken a
glass too much. There are few places
Of more quiet conduct on such occasions
than the late Bidwell town.

A GRIZZLY IN Town As Captain
John Tucker of Martinez, says the So
lano Herald, was engaged on Wednesday
morning lest in his corral in milking his
cows, his attention was withdrawn from
his avocation for moment, in tlme.t
make his escape from grizzly bear,
who had corralled himself Hearing an
unusual nose he looked up to see the
cause, and the bear had broken through
the fence and was within short dis
tance of him He escaped to his house
and the bear crossed the corral, again
broke the fence and left without molest-
ing the COWS. Capt. fuckers resi-
dence is not t. n minutes walk from the
wharf. or the centre of the town.

DESPERATE Duel IN GEoRGIA, The
Rome GA Courier has an account of q
duel lately fought near Dalla~, Polk
County The parties were Wiioy jones
and William Bane, relatives They
fought with rifles, and fred three times
at The first shot part IF Jones' left ear
was shot off The parties not being
satisfied, they reloaded and fred, a part
of Jones tight ear lock being cut off by
the ball of lis antagonist. They were
still not satisfied, loaded again and fired
Bane's ball passing through Jones hat g,
just above his head Jones then made
at his antagonist with his rife, and at
tempted to knock him down with it, but
Bane got the advantage, knocked him
down, and beat his brains out, and fed
unhurt Jones died Immediately, and
up to the latest accounts Bane had not
been arrested.

County Seat.

We learn that subscriptions are al
ready in circulation for the erection of
county buildings in Oroville. 1t is to
be hoped that the buildings will be
speedily erected and rendered to the
Supervisors in strict conformity with the
law, for many here in Bidwell desire to
see the question speedily settled, being
anxious to remove to Oroville. There
is no doubt but what the Supreme Court
viii have to decide upon the constitu-
tionality of the law, and should that
court declare the law unconstitutional ,
Oroville cannot be the County seat un-
til so declared by Legislative enactment.
We have heard no ore express a desire
to keep the county seat away from Oro-
Vile All acquiesce in the choice of
the people, and will be satisfied to see
it removed the moment it can be done
in accordance with the law and the con-
stitution.

News From OrOviiEe.

Our excellent friends Messrs Downer
Brown and Patten, of Oroville, paid us
visit on Monday last. They didn't
come to crow over the result of the
election--they merely come to bring in
returns. We had not heard quite
enough to determine the result before
they came up; but were not long in
ascertaining the result after their arri-
rival. Well, well--the successful par
ty in such cases will talk and boast
somewhat. But we feel compelled to
soy that the deputation from oroville
conducted themselves with great deco
rum on the occasion, and we doubt not
will wear their new honors with the
ease and grace which characterized their
victory.

Bidwell's Bar has ''met the enemy,
and is in the predicament that Doe
sticks was at the church door, when the
boy called him Lemons" and told him
ego in and get squeezed" In the
language of one of our prominent citi-
zens, "Bidwell is wiped out of the Big
Book" We confess to no particular
surprise at the result, unless it be at the
unexpected and overwhelming vote cast
in Oroville "That would have beaten
the Oldest town in the world Bldwell
had made calculations to ''lay over" Ave
or six hundred votes in Oroville; hut
We have not heard any one express de-
sire to beat that 997. We shall not
talk, like most defeated parties Of the
illegality of votes. Oroville probably
polled all the votes she could, and so
did Bldwell Let US say nothing about
g ''illegallity," )" but prepare to float down
to level country, whsre the sun rises
in the morning, and where a person
viii not have to exhaust himselfin going
from town to the Court House.
1t is fact, which this election has
demonstrated, that at least two thous-
and voters Of the county are almost in
the immediate vicinity of Oroville
Against this demonstration We shall not
contend. "Vox populi, vox Del" The
people are there, and it is right they
should have the county seat. They
have had no easy victory, and had the
Bidwellltes labored as assiduously and as
long as the Orovilians, the "weeping,
walling and gnashing of teeth" would
have occurred short distance lower
down on the river.
We had made no calculations what
ever on being defeated IN this contest,
and the necessity of owning ourselves
vanquished, beaten, conquered, ''wiped
OUT" comes very hard, because unex-
pected. 1t would have been much
harder fer Orovlle to have been de-
feated than for Bidwell, because there
were more of them But the lay of the
country was against us--it was an uphill
business for Bidwell
The following is the reported vote of
the different precincts so far as heard
from. The returns will be canvassed by
the board OF Supervisors on Monday
next, when the official result will be
made known. As Oroville is far ahead
of the vote of all other places combined,
we make but two colums of fgures-for
and against Orovllle.
