HORSE STOLEN AND ARREST OF THE
THlEF.-0n Friday night last, fine sorrel
horse, one of n pair which belong to Messrs
Deamer & Bordwell, Soda Manufacturers,
was stolen from their stable Deputy Sher-
iff Mclaughlin started in pursuit of the
thief on Saturday, and traced him and the
horse to the Globe Ranch, about eight miles
fIom Grass Valley. The thief, whom we
understand to be an American known by the
name of Bill, was sleeping in the stable be-
longing to the ranch when discovered by Mr.
Mclaughlin, and upon being awakened,
showed fight, and had to be handled some
what roughly before being taken into custo
dy. He was finally captured, and yester-
day, together with the horse, was brought
back here. The prisoner is now in jail
awaiting his trial

as the northern portion of the State
in the Bulletins geography. Sab
Francisco and vigilancism is all that
is required to recommend them to the
Bulletin, and no abuse is spared to
thrust their opponents out Of the way.
A correspondent Of that purity organ,
writing over the signature Of New
Yorker" puts forth a tissue Of false
hoods against Mr.. Broderick. He
accuses him Of everything that a vii
lainous correspondent Of a corrupt
press could imagine. AS there are
several subscribers to the Bulletin in
this vicinity it may not be improper
to notice the Bulletins correspond
ent. We have reason to believe that
this "New Yorker of the Bulletin,
is the "Philo-Junius' who figured in
an Oroville hebdomadal last summer,
and wheedled the landlord of the
Orleans Hotel out of about one hun
dred dollars worth of board. We
desire our citizens to understand the
character of the Bulletin and its
correspondents, and if they choose to
attach any importance to the libcls it
contains, they can do so. If the
productions of such q miserable
creature as ''New Yorker" can infu-
ence our Legislature in the choice
of two United StatcsSenators, then in
deed is California unfortunate. But
such productions, in such a medium,
cannot injurc Mr.. Broderick with the
Democracy. They know the man,
know his stern and mbending deyo-
ton to principle, his past services,
and his abilities. They know too,
the requirements of the State, and if
true to her interests and themselves,
Mr.. Broderick will be one of the
nextU S. Senators from California.
In the coming Legislature, we trust
that the claims of the north will be
considered, and her right to furnish
one of the Senators admitted. We
believe the northern counties have
the power to demand their rights in
this respect, and hope that they may
for once, choose q Senator from the
north, even if they are obliged to
encounter the frowns Of that colossal
political structure, the Custom House
of San Francisco.

pealed out its notes of thunder,-a bonfire
lit up the town from the PlaZa,-a torch
light procession of the citizens, paraded the
reefs, headed by the Downieville Brass
Band, and the Sierra Guards Military

welkin. After travcriing the streets, the
procession marched to the residence of Mr.
Langton, who, called out by the cheers of
the crowd, made his appearance and return
ed his thanks, in neat speech, for this ex-
hbition of regard on the part of his fellow
citizens Altogether it was n spontaneous
tribute to private enterprise and worth,
which the most distinguished Of public men

ihterest amongst the venal and cor
iupt vlgllant2, but self-stylcd indie
pehdent Press. These self-constitu-
tea con''eryators of the public veal,
hotw' Outstanding they have been re-
pudlated and scorned by the people,
assume the discussion and settlement
Of "Matters Senatorial" with their
characteristic impudencc and false
hoods. The characters of men who
have been named in connection with
that honorable and responsible posi-
ton, are assailcd with all the viru-
lence and malignity at the command
Of editors-in-chief, subs, hired de-
famers and villifers, and libelous
correspondents. These corrupt in
dependent, vigilante sheets, having
been placed by the decision of the
people, out of the ring upon this
question, endeavor to convince the
world that they still live, by making
San Francisco howl with the vocab-
ulary of Blllingsgatc, heaped upon
the heads of those who are unfortu-
nate enough to be named in connec-
ton with the honorable position Of
United States Senator from Califor-
nla. These papers are dependent
upon false and yitiatcd public SEN
timent for their support, and they
cndcavor to fatten by plunging into
Billingsgate rhetoric, and defaming
those whose abilities have designated
them as the proper recipients Of high
official position.
From articles which have recently
appeared in the Bulletin and Alta,
and Union, it would almost appear
that those papers are simple enough
to believe that they have influence
with the patriotic body of men who
will compose our next Legislature.
They imagine that our Legislature
will be influenced by them to elect
men to the United States Senate,
to make laws for us, who uphold the
Vigilance committee in the violation
Of the laws and of the constitu-
ton. If these organs desire to see
vigilance men go to Washington, let
them convene their Legislative and
Executive body, and send them.
The State authorities have o more
important duty to discharge than to
place men in office to do the dirty
work of a corrupt mob. They will
elect men who, when they swear to
support the constitution of their coun-
try will do it. Otherwise there is no
necessity for going through the for
mula of a legal election, or of swear
ing officers to support the constitu-
ton. But why should the Vigilance
organs appeal to the authorities to
elect vigilance men? Wasn't the
revolution complete! and can't the
committee elect their own men! A
day or two since the Bulletin en-
dorsed ex-senator Gwin as sympl-
~-th!izas With the committee. I: Is
well known that the present Editor
Of the Bulletin long held appoint
ment under Mr.. Latham, in the Gus
tom House. The Bulletin favors the
election of Messrs. Gwin and Latham.
We opine that such support will do
those gentlemen vast deal more in
jury than service, in the patriotic
and law abiding body whose duty it

We point with pride to the figures
elsewhere which show the result in this
county. The majority for Freedom ex-
ceeds our most sanguinc expectations.
All honor to the hard listed thinking
men of the rural districts, who braved
the storm of the day to be at the polls,
and voted right after they got there
Look at the returns, they will bear ex-
animation and criticism. There are
some towns that would bear special
mention, but where nearly all did SC
well, it would be invidious to particu-
larize. kcnosha, as usual, sends an un-
broken Republican delegation to Madi-
son, and makes a clean sweep of her
Republican county ticket. Other coun-
ties may nave done as well, few, if any.

A Wreck and a Gallant Act.

The Schooner Dora loaded with lum-
Der, went ashore on Tuesday last, some
four miles this side of Waukegan. On
the receipt of the intelligence here, a
rush was at once made for the Govern
ment life boat, and it was manned by
a volunteer crew consisting of Captain
Ackerman of the Challenge, Alfred
Burroughs, Ii. III. Johnson, Carlton Stet-
son, Henry Myres, ID. MeCommonS, j.
Robinson and George Treadwell, who
pulled at once, notwithstanding the
heavy sea, for the relief of the crew who
were understood TO be in peril The
distance was some nine miles, enough
to deter almost any person from under
taking such labor, nevertheless they
put their hands to the oars without hes
itation and never flinched until the wreck
was reached; which they reached soon
after dark but found that the Waukegan
life boat had preceded them, and rescued
the sailors. Such an effort is worthy of
all commeudation and should be remem-
beror. The vessel was pounding badly.
1t is thought the vessel will prove a to-
tai wreck.

$4,000 are now ready to be transfer
red to the Stock Books as soon as offlci-

is exclusively within this State, with the
view of ultimately consolidating with
the Kenosha Road. The plan of con
solidation proposes that the Road shall
run through Chemung and Harvard to
the state Line. at which point the Ike
no>ha Road will interSect, making the
whole main line under one manage
ment The consolidation also looks
ultimately to the continuation of the
Inc southwark from this point, or down
the river to its confluence with the
Mississippi.
The line over which the Road is TO be
built is nearly an airline to Kenosha,
and one of the most feasible routes for
Railroad construction i'll the whole
West. Among other advantages the
Road will possess, will be the connec-
ton at Harvard with the Chicago, st.

our citizens a new route to Chicago.
four miles shorter than by the present
route. From Rockford 10 Harvard the
distance is ascrtained to be twentv-six
miles; thence to Chicago sixty-two miles.
From Rockford to the State Line, at
intersection of Kenosha Road, forty
miles; thence to kenosha thirty miles, by
which we reach the Lake in seventy
miles At the State Line the Road will
also intersect with the Fox River Val
ley Road, now building TO Milwaukee
attording us the nearest practicable
route to that city, which can thus be
reached in about eighty-tour miles from
Rockford. Our citizens are taking
hold OF the matter IN earnest, which is
good evidence that they appreciate not
only the Importance of the project to
Rockford, but its promise of sure return
as an investment We shall hope to
see the enterprise steadily progress, as
we feel sure it will if our citizens continue
in the spirit they have begun, and that
the entire line from here to kenosha win
be in running order by next fall.-Rock-
