CoNTEMPTIBLE A man, whose name we
did not learn, was lodging at the Orleans
Hotel, and was noticed to watch with brutal
intent, young lady, who also stops there,
and who is no doubt of the highest respecta-
bility. In fact she has no known faults,
except that she, like many others, has been
thrown among comparative strangers, with
no brother, parent or friend, to protect and
support her, and is from choice gaining an
honest and honorable maintenance by her
hands and needle. She says she never saw
the monster before who has annoyed and
insulted her. He broke into her room, and
was frightened away by her screams which
brought assistance. He was arrested, and
let go on promise of leaving at once. He
(she supposes) wrote her an obscene letter,
which she did not read, but handed it to
friend who has it at present. She says he
follows her--gazes at her-and she fears she
may receive some personal injury at his
hands.
Tar and feathers are freely spoken of in
connection with his case, and should he per-
sist in his course, the lady has friends that
will rid the community of SO great a curse
in human shape.

4 GAME or 8ILL1ARDs.-A couple of gen
tlemen from up country, who had come to
town as delegates TO the late Convention, and
not thinking to secure themselves beds, were
unfortunately unable to secure. even a cot,
wheron to rest their "weary heads" after
the late hour at which the convention ad-
jou'ned. After cogitating for some time,
what to do to wear away the 'life long night, ,
one of them proposed that they should 90
into the United States, and play Billiards
until morning. They both commenced play
ing and drinking innumerable glasses of
soda water, lemonade and other temperance
beverages, too numerous to mention. In
the mean time, everybody had retired to
their beds, and the town, for once was wrapt
in gloom; no sound being heard, save the
sonorous breathing of the "Terdant,n who
had been left behind the bar to attend to the
wants of the unfortunate gents; the click of
the Billiard balls, and occasionally the deep
mouthed baying of the watch dog, far away
o'er the hills. At length, to the great Joy
of our friends. the mornings light began to
climb the eastern hills, when ''the unfortu-
mates stepped up to the bar to settle, think
ing they had run up an immense bill, and
calling for the score the individual behind
the bar, after rubbing his eyes to get him
self awake, said. "he thought tro dolIars
would be about right" They pungled the
dinero, and observed that, as it was cheap
they had mind to play the "ballance OF the
day OUT

Letter from n Prominent CosmopoI,,e

ed copy of letter from the distinguish
ed highwayman, Thos- J. Bell, to ex-Capt
VIM. King, of Marysyille. From the letter If
will be seen that Capt King has had his
eye on the distinguished traveller, but thot
the watch has been mutual. One thing !.
shown, by the letter, the highwayman is
bold, and asks and expects no mercy. He
is no petty larceny villain, and We are con-

FRosf THE PLAfNs.-An immigrant train,
the first through on this route we believe
this season. came into this town yesterday.
TheOne we conversed with was from Indiana,
which State he with his family left on the 4th
of April. They are all in excellont health
their stock locks fne, considering the length
of the trip. The Indians are represented to
be very friendly to the immigrants. The
grass wis good. water toleraby plenty, and
all things considered, the season is favorable
for immigration. From what we could gath
er from them, we should say that the num-
Der of immigrants coming this season was
but small, but that much larger number
of Cattle and other stock would cross this
summer than was anticipated.
This company came in on the Beckwith
route.

SKY-GAzER--Professor Wilson the great
arenaut, was in town a day or two since,
days, by way Of the clouds and skies, in one
of his immense air Balloons. We presume
the outside pressure OF politics must have
frightened the Professor away, in consc-
quence of great quantities of gass walking
about on two legs, generated b. an obsorb-
tion of certain liquors.

somewhat excited in the Convention yes

though but few votes were polled at the last
election in his ward, they sent over 400 to

FIGHTING.-A great crowd rushed to the
Bowling saloon. on Montgomery ST., where
a cry of distress was heard Some sung out
"a man was being murdered by the crowd,
others said IAN axe was in the hands of one
man, and knife in that of another. and
such like riotous bowlings ran through the
crowd.
We were just in our usual luck, that is in
good time to be too late to witness it.
As near as we could learn however the
facts were these, that a Mexican went into
a gambling house, bet and lost, as fairly as
is generally in such cases made and provi-
ded, $3.50. He was drunk and insulting, If
possible. to the dealer, and wanted return
of the money. He was ordered out by the
keeper of the house He refused to go, and
made fight. This job was taken off the land
lords hands by man by the name of John
Davis. The fight sprung from he shoulder,
and was rough and tumble. The Greaser
got the worst of it, in course. He was tax
en- to the private hospital of DR.. Brown, his
wounds dressed, and is doing we'll, consider

existence of gold on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains, in the Brulee country.
They were placer diggings, and the discovery
was accidental. He was anxious to learn

Nor TRuE.--The Marysvilie Express
says they have heard that there was a
burst up in the Democratic Convention in
Oroville, &C and that it was upon the question
of San Francisco politics" This is not so.
San Francisco matters had nothing to do
with the withdrawal of the Oroville delega-
ton from the Convention. They withdrew
simply becnuse the Convention refused to
allow them what they deemed a fair repre-
sentation in Convention. aud for the arbi-
trary course of the Convention in refusing
to hear arguments upon tae question. The
question of San Francisco politics, or Vigi-
lanceism, was not raised in the Convention
Butte record., 1856-08-30
plsxrncsfuI Proceedings.

The presentation on Saturday evening,
displayed a spirit which is a stain and dis
grace upon Oroville- There is always more
or less allowance to be made for the extrav-
agance of political excitement, but it cer-
tainly is strange that men-men who aspire
to stations of honor and profit, can so far
forget themselves--their own dignity aud
standing, and self respect, and engage in
Saturday night last. The person to whom
the Presentation was made, may have re-
mained in the Convention under the belief
that he was honestly discharging his duty
to those who elected him. Others thought
differently, and acted differently. All may
hive been actuated by honorable motives.
But the affair of Saturday night could only
have been cauceiyed by those whose natural
instincts outrage decency and disgrace hu-
manlty. If We nave occurrences in our
midst which we wish to condemn, in the
name of decency-in the name of humanity y
| in justice to ourselves, let us censure like
reasoning, thinking beings. We envy moi
the oratorical powers of those who require
such source of inspiration, or who coul(
so far forget the respect due to themselve
as to present and respond upon the occasion
Their proceedings may stamp ridicule upol
the one intended, but if it stamp not tn
perpetrators with iDdellible pusillanimit V
then we have studied sthe science of caus
and effect to very little purpose. In Heav
ems name, lei us avoid such excesses-an,
| be calm, temperate, prudent, discreet.

by the County Convention. we omitted the

there was no such Office to be filled.

gentleman, and well deserving the support
of the Dem ocracy Of Butte county.
