The Senatorships.

the Know Nothing presses, since the elec-
ton. could be collected together and re-pub-
lisbed we should have a volume of rare
political and literary curiosities. They de-
vote a great portion of their space to the
subject. and labor with the most fervent zeal
70 nroduce discord in the Democratic ranks.
Editors and correspondents have their pens
busily at work, an6 in most instances it is
difficult to determine which is most ridiculous
the groundless assertions they make, or the
tortuous conclusions they draw from their own
premises. 1t is better than romance to
read the Sacramento Uniom-the gouty, an
tiouated UaiOa-in It's efforts to create a
storm But we believe that journal never
did accomplish political purpose, and we
are very sure it will not hereafter A verita-
BILE old womens' organ, it is totally without
political influence. The California american
has grown romantic too, but then it has some
spice about it and after its sore defeat in
the late contest, the Democracy only just
laugh little when they read it's gasy SEN
atorial speculations.
A number of Know Nothing papers have
fared up, because the Ledger thought proper
to assert its conscientious belief that the
interests of the State would be promoted by
electing David c. Broderick and Milton S.
Latham to the United States Senate This
proceeding would also promote harmony in
the Democratic party, and therefore we did
not expect the X. n. prints to agree with
u.s. We are glad to observe, however, that
the suggestion meets with favor among the
Democracy The Opposition-K. N. and
Republican-are concentrating their power
to defeat Mr.. Broderick but they will fail;
as sure as he lives till January next, David
C. Broderick will be elected to the Senate
The great mass of the Democracy through
out the State have settled down to this con-
clusion and this desire. AS to the other
Senator, the indications grow stronger every
day that Mr. Latham will be the successful
competitor. We are entirely willing that the
Know Nothing and Republican presses shall
Z" howl on" to their hearts content
KEEP 1T GoIYG.-We find the following
waif floating about without any fixed pater-
nifty; but as it is peculiarly applicable to this
precise latitude and longitude, (we've been
taking observations for more than year, }
we copy and endorse it: Don't all say you
"take" at the same time:
Loafers in Printing OG0.-A printing
Office is like school, it can have no interlo-
pers hangers-on, or twaddlers, without a Sc
rious inconvenience, to say nothing of loss
of time, which is just as much as gold to
the printer as though it metalically glistened
in his hand What would be tho't of man
who would enter a school, and twaddle first
with the teacher and then with the scholars
-interrupting the studys of the one and
breaking the discipn of the other! And
yet this is the precise effect of the loafer in
the printing Office. lie seriously interlears
with the course of business, distracts the
! fixed attention which is necessary to the good
printer No gentleman will ever enter it
and presume to act loafer He will feel
above it, for no real man ever sacrifices the
interests or interferes with the duties of 9th
ers. The loafer does both. Let him think
(if thought he ever has) that the last place
he should ever insinuate his worthless and
unwclceme presence is in the printing office
And here from the last Columbia Gazette,
is another paragraph which is as sensible as
it is blunt:
Wanted at this Office, q bulldog, of any
color except pumkin and milk of respectable
size, snub nose, cropped ears, abbreviated
continuation and bad disposition-who can
come when called with raw beef steak, and
will bite the man that spits tobacco juice
all around the editors rooms, and steals the
exchanges.
Tobacco pipes that kill at ten PAGES, and
reading manuscripts, and private letters,
should be included in the above. Pass along
Mr.. Loafer-youll get posted after a while
Does any individual in this place take?
SINGULAR AccIDENr.-A singular accident
occurred at Russell's Diggings, near this
place, on Thursday morning last. Near the
top of the hill, some parties were engaged
saving. A log six feet long and four feet in
diameter rolled down the hill, struck the up
per side of Mr.. Coulter's house, broke its
way through, and lodged in the chimney cor
ner. In the house were Mrs. Coulter and a
little daughter of Mr. Darnell. The log
