some of whom attribute defeat to wrong cause,
to know the true state of the csse.
We again assert, and we do it without fear of con-
tradicton by any honest opponent that men who had
no part in the prosperity of our city, who stepped
to the lips in the stygian pool of political corruption
came among US like thieves in the night and by their
votes money and influence caused the defeat of the
American party. The passages to the polls were
blocked up by aliens from the adjacent country and
acting under instructions from their suborners
IN their votes Not less than two hundred of these IL
legal votes stated the morning after the elec-
tion, were polled The American vute had in reality
not fallen of single iota. We rolled but twenty
nine votes less than at the election in 1856 and more
than that number of those who are members Of the
party were known to be absent from the city.
Toprove beyond cavilto all honest men, ofboth par
ties that we were bnsey swindled out othe election
we append the vote cast in this city since the fall cleo
ton OF 1854 AT the election in September 1884 the
vote in this city ll77. The spring following it
was 1884 showing gain in the vote from September
to March, period of six months, of only II. The
election last fall the vote Of this city, including the
surrounding country for eight miles, tho Phaanxers
having refused to establish election precints in the
outside districts had previously been the case thus
compelling all to cast their votes here, but sol.
At the charter election just closed there cast
in the vote since last September when the whole town
ship voted here, of just 20. The increase of

the outside precincts 32 gain of over onefourth in
twelve months.
Here is fraud and corruption Of the rankest kind,
and we charge it uponthe Democratic party. Every
man who has gained Office in this city, belonging to
that party has gained it by the pollution of the bal
lot box.

NEW lNvENTIoN-We were shown the
draft of new Rifle Boz few days since
at the banking house of Williamson &
Dawley. If any opinion can be formed
from the draft, and the very full explana-
tlon accompanying it, this box will prove
of incalculable value in working the dig
gings and securing the fine gold of this
vicinity. The manner in which the sur.
plus quicksilver is protected from the ac.
ton of the water and the large stones is
very ingenious, while the application of a
simple natural principle secures the ANAL
gum In another receptacle. In the whole
apparatus all complex combinations are
avoided, and the natural principles ap
piled in such manner as will meet with
the favor of every practical miner. We
shall expect to see these machines intro
duced into general use, and predict for the
enterprising patentees, Williamson &
Dawley, an immense sale when their in.
vention shall have been fully tested.

QUARTZ MININa.-The Marysville Her.
aid states that at locality about half a
mile fIom Pike City, and about three miles
from Camptonville, a rich quartz lead has
been struck, which promises rich remu-
neration to those engaged in working it.
Three thousand dollars have been taken
out within the last few days, by the simple
process of burning the quartz. A speci-
men of the quartz has been exhibited to
us, which is as rich as any we have ever
seen.

HoMcIDE.-A Frenchman named Paul Haimes
died In this city on Friday morning last Coroners
inquest was summoned and returned the verdict that
his death was caused BY stone thrown from the hand
Of o. N. Smith. disappeared that deceased had been
boarding at the Union Hotel of which Smith is one Of
the proprstors and that Haimes had been allowed to
cut wood to pay his board. On going away from the
hotel he carried the he had been using and Smith
went after it. When he came up to Haimes, the lat
ter not only refused to give up the axe but ourished
it at Smith as if intending to strike. Upon this Smith
picked up stone, and as Haimes was siding away.
threw it at him hitting him in the back part Of the
head and fracturing his skull.
Mr. smith, it is believed had intention of killing
Haines; but the throwing of the stone was rash act
and hardly admits Of an excuse.

EXEMPTION OF MINING CLAIMS FRo

EXEMPTION OF MINING CLAIMS FROM
ATTAcHMENT.-A bill is now before the
Legislature to exempt mining claims from
sale under execution. This has called
forth several very able articles in favor of
the passage of the bill, and none, that we
have seen, opposed to it. The Vide Wesl
favors the proposed law for the reason
that the prosperity of the State is mainly
dependent upon the development Of the
mineral resources within its boundaries,
and because such a law will inure both to
the benefit of miners and Merchants in
mining districts. With the passage of
such law, that journal contends, man
will be trusted for what he is, rather than
for what he is supposed to be worth and
anything which tends to elevate man above
his artificial surroundings should be hailed
with joy. 1t is further contended that
there would have been much less bank
ruptcy in California had there been less
security placed on the supposed wealth of
those asking credit, and more of moral
obligation placed upon the debtor to pay.
The Golden Era also fayors the passage
of the same bill, and correspondent of
the same paper, miner, gives some valid
reasons to the same end. He cites case
of a miner who is running tunnel and
obtains credit for his necessaries while
doing it. But just before he has reached
the lead, his creditor demands the money
due, and because it is not forthcoming, the
miners claim is sold and purchased by
the creditor who, in a short time, reaps
the reward justly due the protector of the
tunnel.
Our legislators, We trust, will give the
subject their serious consideration. 1t is
well worthy their attention. With claims
exempt from forced sale, we believe miners
would have a sufficiently "hard road to
travel"

RAILROAD TO AUBURN.-The Placer
Press understands that the S. V. Railroad
Co. will extend their road to Auburn if
the citizens of Placer county will subscribe
100000 in stock. In the event that
such an amount cannot be raised by pri-
vate subscription, that paper recommends
that the County take the stock, by issu-
ing bonds bearing ten per cent per annum
interest, and payable in ten years. A
meeting was held in Auburn on Thursday
week, at which committee was appointed
to confer with the railroad company.

SHARr.-Thc Marysville Express makes
the following apology for committing little
pecadilloes
"Ihe Herald cannot be ignorant of the fact,
that in the early history Of California there
was no society, and that men we're, in a meas.
ure, without those moral restraints which
more enlarged circle of society throws around
them"
To which the Herald makes this sharp reply:
"The Express is relating its own experience,
and forgets those who in the early history of
California were not only influenced by "moral
restraints" but were actuated by deep and
well settled principle of right. For the sake
Of humanity, don't judge everybody by your.
sell. 1t wouldn't be fare to the race"

The Charleston Evening Nescs Under
stands that the elephant which was lost
overheard from vessel bound to that
port, made its way safely into Mount
PLEASANT Harbor! The vessel was thirty
miles out at sea, and a heavy gale was
blowing when the elephant went over
board. Its feat of riding out the storm
is, we suppose, the most remarkable in
stance of animal strength and endurance
on record.-Erchamge
About forty years ago merchant ves-
sci belonging to Salem, Mass, received on
board at Liverpool stud of the celebra-
ted Messenger breed of horses. While
on the passage home, heavy storm arose
and alarge portion of the cargo was thrown
overheard to tighten the vessel The fine
stallion was at last compelled to follow the
lost merchandise. About eighteen hours
afterwards, during calm, the horse was
discovered making his way gallantly to-
wards the ship. Sail was taken in, boats
lowered, and the noble animal was taken
on board and brought slfely into Salem,
where he became the sire of numerous
progeny. We think this more remark
able case of endurance than that of the
elephant.

DEPoPULATIoN OF CALIFORNIA The num-
Der OF men who meet with violent deaths in
California cannot be less than fourteen hundred
year, at the rate these deaths are occurring
among us at present. The number resulting
from mining casualties is enormously large,
and will doubtless continue to increase in pro-
portion to the extension of hydrauli: washing
Those killed in this manner are the bone and
sinew of the State, and California could much
better afford to lose another class of men. The
deaths By banks caving exceed at this time the
homicide calendar. At the rate this mortality
goes on, it will require the average number of
men brought by five steamers to supply the
places of those who meet with violent deaths.
