10 The Republicans Of the State Of California:
FELLOW CITIzENs;--We are now upon the eve
of mighty struggle for Liberty Thousands
of our fellow beings, writing under the lash OF
Southern tyrants, cry to us for helpl Shall we
stretch forth our mighty arm to their adj We
will ! Shall we, as patriots, as freemen, stand
longer idle? No!
lii view Of the mighty interests involved in
the coming election, / desire to make you aware
of the following facts : AS matter Of policy
the Republican party are desirOus of carrying
this State for Fillmore, which will weaken the
Democratic vote without injuring our prospects
We have no hopes of carrying California, and
we must use every endeavor to defeat Buchan-
an as he is oar only opponent. Mr.. Fillmore is
mere Will-O'-the- WIsp, from whom we have
nothing to fear. From the most authentic in
formation received from the east, the American
party will not carry a single State; consequent
ly our fight is with the Democrats Therefore
it is the duty of every Republican to vote for
Fillmore: let him carry this State, AID you elect
our cand.d date, Mr.. Fremont.
Again, should you have any conscientious
scruples about voting for Mr.. Fillmore, the fol-
lowing facts will put them at rest MIR. Fillmore
is as sound on the Republican doctrine as Mr..
Fremont, and in order to prove it to you will
cite his letter dated, Buffalo, Oct. 18th, 1888, in
which he says be does believe petitions TO Con
gress, on the subject OF slavery, ana the Save
trade should be received; that he was not in fa-
vor of the annexation of Texas. under any cir
cilnstances, so long as slaves are held therein.
That be is in favor of Congress exercising all
its powers in abolishing the slave trade between
the States, aid lastly, he is in fdvOr Of the inuns
dafe abolition Of saUery IN the District Of Columbia.
If more is required to prove Mr.. Fillmore to
be friend to our cause, examine the following:
On the 21st of January: 1912, Mr.. Adams
presented petition, praying the naturalization
of free negro foreigners, and that they be allow
ed to hold real estate. Mr.. Wise moved to lay
the reception of the petition On the table. Mr.
Fillmore voted in the negative-with the north
ern philanthropists and against southern op-
pressors.
Now, when it is borne in mind that Mr.. Fill
more in his letter to Mr.. Dibble and others.
remarks that his former acts will be types of
his future course and in view of the record here
presented, | am sure you will accede to the re-
quest
Use every exertion to enable our friends to
he in possession of this circular before the day
of election. The issuing of it is a secret, and
must be kept inviolate from the Democrats.
Yours, 7. w. PARK,
President State Central Committee.

The popurat,on Of Nevada County.

The vote in the recent election, places our
county amongst the foremost in the State in
population. 1t will be seen by reference to the
Presidential vote, that the aggregate white male
population over 2l years ofage entitled to vote
is 1902. To this, it would be safe to add 1000
for those not naturalzed, and others entitled to
vote who did not choose to go to the polls
For instance. of those entitled to vote who did
not on the day of election, we know large
community of Portuguese and dspaniards mining
on Poor Mans creek, within six miles of Wash
ington. Some of these men were made citizens
at the late term Of the District Court, yet we
have been told that not one Of them exercised
the right of suffrage. This would give US an
able bodied white male population over Fl years
of age. of 1902
Add to this 800 Cinnamon working in large
companies along the bed of the Yubas and 9th
er streams, and engaged in other pursuits, and
we have male population over Fl years, oflO,-
SO2. If we suppose that the rest of the popula-
ton of the county. including women, children,
persons of color and all others, only equal in
number to the actual voting population as
above given, the total population must be, not
much under 10000. N

Death of Sheriff w. w. Wright and David
johnson.

While engaged in working off the last issue
Of our paper we were called upon to pause,
briefly to record the calamity which had just
transpred in the death of the Sheriff of this
county and one of his deputies. The crcum-
stances have already been given TO the world
with sufficient accuracy aud have filled the com
munity with q heartfelt sorrow for the untimely
end of those who have fallen while engaged in
the discharge of official duties. Just at the
hour Of the occurrence, upon the eve OF the
Presidential election, while an immense pro-
procession of our political friends were passing
through our streets with exultaton upon their
lips, the fearful news was told and flew from
mouth to mouth quelling and subdueing all 9th
er thoughts. Upon reaching the stand, with a
common impulse every man threw his torch in
to the street, and the gentleman who was to
have addressed the assemblage, with proper
delicacy, came forward and after announcing
the sad event, proposed an adjournment which
met with quiet response from every heart
We had known W. W. Wright during the time
he held the Office of Sheriff, aud in all places
and at all times we found in him a courteous
gentleman whose kind and generous nature won
for him in return the kind regards of men of all
parties and conditions. In his life he had en-
deared himself to wide circle of friends, and
has been followed by the universal sympathy to
the grave
OF his deputy David johnson we can speak
with more than ordinary feeling of esteem,
for we knew him as warm aud sincere friend.
In the pride of his manhood he has fallen, per-
forming his duty with that unhinching courage
which distinguished him throughout his life
He had recently held the position of City Mar.
shal and how we'll he did his duty in that capa
city, we all beheld with admiration. Although
man of genial temper and most kind disposi
tion, yet he was a brave and bold man who low
cd the excitement incident to danger, with {
passion which often led his friends to indulge
the worst apprehensions of his fate, and al
though always cool and collected, his rashnes
consisted in the confident manner with which h
met the occasion without calculating the peri
to himself He was indeed a true man, and vii
long be remembered in the community wher
his many good qualities are appreciated. an,
where attached friends still survive to bear th
memory of his noble and generous nature

The nrounta,neer F,lre company.

We desire to speak word of encouragement
to the members of this company who have re-
Gently been formed in our city, and whose or
ganization promises to be of highly useful
character. Our experience is SO recent of the
appalling dangers to which we are exposed from
Gre, that it can scarcely be necessary for us to
say anything to our citizens in behalf of an or
ganization the object of which is so comrnenda-
BILE. We remember to have read in the life OF
that practical philosopher Benjamin Franklin
that when he first went TO the city of Philadel-
phia now century and quarter ago, the cry
of fire filed all hearts with consternation,-
There was then no snch thing in existence as an
organization for protection against fire, and
when that element broke out, it swept over the
Quaker city with fearful and unrestrained vio-
lence Amongst the earliest of his philanthrop-
ic triumphs was that of suggesting and forming
the first fire company in that city, and his re-
ward was the consciousness that he had done
something for the benefit of the community
lie says himself that after an absence of few
years be returned to that city, aud instead OF
beholding men, women and children at the alarm
of fire flying in terror through the streets leay-
ing their homes to the devouring flames, he saw
well disciplined bands of men in companies,
rushing to the scene of confagration, and with
their apparatus and appliances successfully bat
tling against them We know what men equipp-
cd and disciplined are able to accomplish else
IL 4 e
and we trust to see our citizens generously
stretch forth the hand of encouragement to
those who are willing TO exert themselves here
for so useful purpose. We say to the Noun
taineers go on in your enterprise, and while we
pray that there may b, no occasion for your
services, in the hour of danger be your motto

chlldren A. Nevada Township.

From census just taken by u S. Gregory,
School marshal. we learn that the number OF
white children, over four and under eighteen
years of age in this Township is S0O-of which,
ISL are males, and 149 are females. This is
the whole number for which we are entitled to
draw upon the common School fund. 1t affords
however, a very inadequate idea of the whole
number of children in the Township. An amaz-
ing number having made their appearance on
this mundane sphere" within the last four
years. Though angels in all else, they are not
like angels in this. they come neither "few nor
far between"

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?--ANoTHER EsoAPE.--lt
has only been one week since the Sheriff of the
County and his Deputy, lost their lives in the
attempt to recapture two prisoners who had es-
capped second time, in a most mysterious man
ner from the County Jail. Another prisoner
named IIargraves. under sentence of ten years
to the State prison, for killing man near San
Juan, il was discovered on Monday night had
made his escape by breaking through the wall
into cell adjoining the one in which he was
confined, and which was not locked. We learn
from Mr.. Grimes, that since he took possession
of the Office of Sheriff, he has continued
the Deputies of Sheriff Wright, one Of whom has
had charge of the keys of the Jail TO the present
time. When we consider the enormous taxes
paid by the people of this county for the sup
port of officials, and for erecting expensive
Court houses and prisons, is it to be wondered
at, that they have been eager for change of
those who are to administer our county affairs.
1t is crying shame that after the repeated ad-
monitions which our officials have had, that
these things are repeated without producing the
slightest effect in bringing about greater de-
gree of vigilance.

COMMON School NoTcE.-We call the atten-
ton OF parents and guardians to the notice in
another column, for meeting of all Interested
to decide upon the location Of school house
for this district. II is understood that the com
mttee having charge Of the fund for the relief
of the sufferers by the late fire, are willing to
devote the balance in their hands, amounting to
some 5000, towards this object. 1t is thought
that the lot now owned for school purposes, can
be sold and the proceeds add to the fund
above referred to, advantageously applied in
the purchase of lot and construction of a
house adapted to the wants of the community,
and to the health and convenience of the large
number Of children in our city. We trust that
oil concerned, may be present In order that
full aud satisfactory expression of opinion may
be had upon the question.

the ranch was restored to Mr.. Cary, the rightful

Mr.. Raymond reported that few days before
he left the valley, they had had three or four

BENEFIT OF THE MoUNTANEER FIRE Coon
last Thursday evening we had the pleasure Of
witnessing the first turn out of this company,
numbering some 80 or 40 members handsomely
uniformed In the course of their march they
faced our Office and saluted us with three rous-
Ing cheers, compliment we appreciate and ac-
knowledge. We attended at late hour the
reading at Temperance Hall and we're delighted
at the agreeable exercises. The reading by Ii.
j. MKinlcy of an original poem suggested by
the recent fire in Nevada, and selections from
the dramatists and poets, were given with ex-
celent taste elicting repeated applause. Mr..
M'Kinley is man of enviable attainments as a
reader and Oh this occasion we'll sustained the
reputation he has earned in this line at the State
Capitol The entertainment was well attended
on the part of our citizens generally who ex-
pressed themselves much pleased.

The NEXT NEws.-The Panama mail steamer
with news from New York to October goth, may
be expected the latter part of this week. The
news will be looked for with unusual interest,
as State elections were held in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Indiana, on the l4th, and the vote in
these States will, to great extent, foreshadow
the final result of the Presidential contest. IL
the Democrats have carried Pennsylvania, the
election of Mr.. Buchanan may be set down as
certain, but if the State has been carried by the
Republicans, together with Ohio and Indiana,
the election of Fremont, although highly prob
able, will by no means he considered certain
The Democrats of New York were united, while
the opposition were divided between Fillmore
and Fremont. and if the friends of Fillmore con-
tinued in the field up to the day Of election, it
is more than probable that the electoral vote Of
that State will go for Buchanan

The SHERIFF's OttlCE.-Un The death of the
late Sheriff of this county, the Coroner Mr.. John
Grimes became Sheriff by operation of law and
has been acting in that capacity since Wednes-
day the 9th. On Monday last the Board Of Su-
perysors met and, after hearing All argument
on behalf of the Deputies OF the late Sheriff from
j. r. Mcconnell, Esq, and on behalf of Mr..
Grimes from Judge Buckner and Francis j.
Dunn, Esq, they appointed Mr.. Wm Butterhcld,
one of the Deputies of Sheriff Wright. Us Sheriff
for the unexpired term which closes on the 26th
of May next. The appointment of this gentle
man, although q very worthy man, has given
much dissatisfaction, as it was thought the con.
diton in which the Office has been left required
such change in the control of it, as to secure
the interests of the county as well as ltigant'
having monies in the hands of the Sheriff. Mr.
Butterfeld not having given the bonds required
by law Mr.. Grimes claims to hold the Office un
til his successor shall duly qualify. We under
stand he claims also to hold until the represent
atives of the late Sheriff shall settle the &C
counts of the Office fully, Acting upon this view
of his rights Mr.. Grimes with others went on
Monday afternoon for the purpose of removing
the desk, books, papers, &c. belonging to the Of
flee, when they were resisted by Mr.. A. A. Sar
gent aud G. +. Wood The property was how
ever removed and remains in possession of Mr.
Grimes, until the question is disposed of by lega
proceedings.

of every true Democrat in the State:
Although Buchanan's majority in San Fran
cisco was small in point of numbers, yet when

must admit that the victory there was more sig

great measure, the success must be ascribcd 10

AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION
to the returns in the Clerks Office, the vote on
the amendment TO the constitution in this coun-
ty stands, for the amendment 1868; against the
amendment 277. The tickets of the three par
ties had printed on them the words 'for the pro-
posed amendment to the constitutions but It
appears that the Inspectors and Judges only re-
turned such as had the words "yes'' or ''no''
written upon the tickets. Upon no other sup
position can We account for the small vote in
the affirmative.

Vote of the State.

We give below the vote of the State as far as
heard from. So far Buchanan has l3,257 votes
more than Fillmore, and the returns yet to come
in will increase this majority. 1t is altogether
probable that the Democrats will have a larger
vote than both the other parties.
