SACRAMENTO CHARTER ELEc,

SACRAMENTO CHARTER ELECTION
On Monday the charter election of the
city of Sacramento came off. The Goths
and Vandals triumphed. Fredericksburg
sent up its full quota of strikers; hirelings
penetrated every den of ignorance and in
fanny, and dragged its vegetating speci-
mems of humanity to light and the polls;
vile liquor inspired the bosoms of these
with the truest of nowadays Democracy;
and amid the howlings and yells of men
paid to attend and assist at the burial and
wake of the rights of intelligent citizens
and freemen, Americanism was overcome
by foreign horde arbitrarily interfering
in republican institutions of which they
have as clear conception as Hottentot
of the harmonious machinery of the heav-
eniy bodies. Sound the glorious shout of
Democracy, for the rabble rules.

RW A small quantity of villaino us
saltpeter was burned in town on Tuesday
night by some misguided young men, who
had the absurd idea that Democratic
victory had been achieved at Sacramento.
Their enthusiasm was dispelled like the
fumes of the powder, when the fact be-
came apparent from the presses below that
the Republicans had endorsed all the
Democratic ticket but one as sufficiently
good NEGRO worshippers" for them.-
Hardenburgh, the only chivalry nominee
on the ticket, was beaten by reversed
vote of about 100! The rage of the chiv.
airy democracy when they learned this
fact far exceeded their previous enthusiasm
Some of them say they will kick any Re
publican if he ever dares to vote for them
if they come up for office. The contin
gency is so remote, that no breach of the
peace is feared. We learn that some
Republicans in town are indignant thai
they were not called on to pay for mart
of the ammunition.

though pieces are obtained weighing from
81 to S.. The company have been at an
expense of $4,000 in driving tunnel into
the hill, and have found good pay dirt fol
about 300 feet and is still increasing in
richness as the work is going forward
Since the company have struck the gravel
they have averaged $16 day, and have
taken out as high as $1,63O in week
and $40 to the pan.
The One Horse company, above the
Hawkeye, are doing well also, having ia
ken out as high as 800 in week, the
labor of four persons.
The Lone star company are also doing
well, as are all the companies on the hill.

SERIOUS AFFRAY.-A fight occurred in
front of the "Orleans" hotel, Sacramento,
on the evening of the 7th, between Messrs.
Williams and Borland of the Assembly
in which Mr.. Borland was seriously, if not
fatally wounded.
The affray commenced in the bar room
of the "Orleans." Blows passed and a
pistol was drawn by Borland. The pistol
was seized by Col. Williams, and after a
struggle taken away by Mr.. Quirk, the
door-keeper of the Assembly.
The parties passed out to the street in
front of the hotel, still fighting, when a
pistol was discharged, and soon after it
was discovered that Borland was shot. 1t
is denied by some persons that the pistol
was discharged by Williams, others de-
clared that derringer ready cooked, was
handed him by some one in the crowd,
and fired by him. The ball entered Bor-
lands breast, just below the left nipple
The physicians we understand entertain

The cause of the quarrel was dispute

PoLITIcAL DECEPTION 1t is not at
all times to be expected that an old ne VS.
.raeAr editor, hardened by years ofpoliti-
cal iniquity, in large party grown lax
by time in the practice if not professions
of honesty, will give "plain unvarnished
tale" Of the actions of its opponents. But
a sheet just setting out with the avowed
object of building up new party whose
principles shall be nothing but honesty
and purity par excellence, should be eau
tious not to weaken its influence among
the few pioneers who adopt it as the Or
gan of the incipient party, and who are at
tracted perhaps to the new cause solely
from pure devotion to principles which
they deem RIG ghteous. In tho honesty of
their own hearts, they scorn deception,
and would be shocked to find their organ,
was given to tergiversation, as much as a
puritan congregation would be, to learn
their pastor was disposed to crafty his
carnal propensities, at the expense of his
sacred character.
We arc induced to make these remarks
from reading the following paragraph in
the S. f. Eve Journal:
'The resolutions passed by the K. N.
Slavery Extension Assembly, denouncing
the election Of Banks by large majority,
received their quietus in the Democratic
Senate by handsome vote"
Now, the idea sought to be conveyed,
is that the Banks resolutions were killed
in the Senate by the Democrats, which
might deceive the unsophisticated, but
which is so very far from the fact, that
the opposite is true in every respect. Not
an American Senator voted for the Banks
resolutions, while every Democrat did, but
one.
The Republicanism ofthe Ece. Journal
seems to be in alliance with Democracy
to unite the Ultraism of both sections to
defeat the conservatism of the country
which is embodied in the American party.

Rough 4 Ready Correspondence.

MEssRs EDITORS; Since my last nothing 0
much consequence has occurred in this vicinity
if we except the rain which has been of great
benefit to US, and caused somewhat livelier
time than usual but in the way of accidents,
deaths, mining strikes, and other usual features
OF correspondence-we are very deficient
The only mining item worthy of remark is that
the street in the upper part of the town is now
being worked by Blundell, Davis & Co. and
pays very handsomely /; say from four to six ozs
to the hand. AS matter Of course everybody
knew the diggings were .rich' but unfortunate
ly until now, no one cared about working them.
These wise men are found in every mining
place whenever good diggings are struck,
they ''knew it" "always said so," &c.
Many Of our old townsmen and miners are
about leaving, for the settlements" Some in,
tend to return again, but others do not they
have come, seen and conquered, and are will
ing to retire from the excitements of this land,
to their old homes to enjoy the-otiu,n Gun, Dig
n'tate. Among the number of those who arc
to leave "on the next steamer" who
have been so long and generally known in the
county, are Harry Sheldon, Sam. Gillian, Ira
Ebright DR.. Crabtree and family, o. Howard,
Col. Baker and JOS Cook We part from
them in sorrow and give them our sincerest
wishes for their welfare

As the effect of this decision we have at
the present time no municipal government
whatever. The authority of the town
Marshal and his assistants is taken from
them, the town ordinances are null and
void, and rioters and drunkards can have
as good time as they wish in Nevada
without the restraining fear of "Dave" or
the calaboose. We have no doubt this
class of people will rejoice and be exceed
ing glad over their brief interval oflicense
Every good citizen will regret that the
restraints of municipal law are thus entire
ly removed, and will be indignant that the
quiet and good order of our town and the
safety Of our citizens should be offered as
a sacrifice to test the soundness of a legal
bubble.
Since writing the above we have learned
that the new act for the incorporation O,
towns, introduced by Senator Waite, has
passed both Houses of the Legislature
and only awaits the signature of the Gov.
ernor to become law. By this new act
the powers and duties imposed upon the
County Court by the old law, are confer.
red upon the Board of Supervisors. In
order to afford short and expeditions
mode for the incorporation of those towns
sought to be Incorporated under the old
law, it is provided, that upon petition of
the present board of Trustees of such
town, signed in their capacity as private
citizens. to the President of the Board Of
Supervisors, the said President shall de.
clare the town incorporated, &c.
This law, if by any lucky chance it
should happen to be constitutional, will
enable the citizens of Nevada to organize
municipal government similar to that
under which we have been living hereto
fore. We hope that steps will be imme-
diately taken to effect that object.
