Report of the Commiffee appointed TO
Superintend The burning Of The IRON
I Safes at Reading, Feb. 27th. 1867.
READING, March 4lh.
The undersigned, members Of the Commit
lee, do respectfully report, that we saw the
two Safes originally agreed rpon by Farrels
& Herring aud Evans g. Watson, placed side
by side iI a furnace, viz: The Safe in use by
the Paymasier OF the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad Company, in his Office at Read
ing, manufactured by Farrels & Herring, aud
the Safe in use by H. A. Lsnlz, in his store,
manufactured by Evans g. Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started al 81 O'Clock, A. M,
and KEEP, up until four cords of green hickory,
Two cords dry oak and half chestnut top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superiniendence of The subscribers, mem
be.s of The Committee. The Safes were then
cooled off with water, after which they wete
opened, agd the books and papers taken ont
by the Committee and scot 10 H. A. Lanlz's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit
tee. The books and papers taken from the
Safe manufactured by Evans & WATSON were
but slightly affected by The intense heaI,
while those taken from the Safe mauufsc-
lured by Farrels & Herring were, in our judg
uent, damaged fully fifteen per cent. more
than those taken from Evans g. Walson's
Safe.

THEArER BuRNED.-on Saturday evening
last, the Metropolitan Theater at San Francisco
was destroyed by fire. The fire was discovered
about eight O'Clock, aud with such velocity did
the flames spread, that the whole interior of the
building was in flames in few minutes. There
was no performance at the time, or many lives
must have been lost. By the exertons of the
fremen. the fire was confined to the Theater.
The loss is estimatedat from $35OOO to $4O,-
OOO' The Theater wasr owned by Messrs Hen
ry Hench and L. E. Ritter. Several accidents
occurred during the fire, but none of fatal ma
ture.

The DrMocRAcY AND THE OPPosrT1oN.-The
proud position now occupied BY the Democracy
of California. must be source Of gratifca-
ton to every true member Of the party. Uni
ted upon platform of principles, and with un-
exceptionable candidates the masses are quiz
etly aocking to our standard In such numbers
as to carry dismay into the ranks Of the opposi-
ton. The factions that are opposing us, with
no defnabe political principles, and no feeling
in common excepting a hatred to the name Of
Democrat, having failed to unite upon COM
mon ticket, offer to the Democracy an easy vic
tory. That the Democratic candidates will all
be elected by heavy majorities, is a fixed and
unalterable fact But it is necessary that we
should have something more than mere ma
jority for eur State candidates; the victory
must be so decisive as will effectually blot out
the conglomerated mass Of isms and sectional
prejudices, on the strength of which political
demagogues are vainly striving to again clutch
the spoils. It remains for the Democracy to
administer such rebuke to these spolsmen as
will forever silence their pretensions in the fu-
ture.
From every part of the State, we have the
most cheering intelligence. The Democratic
masses are fully aroused and determined to do
their duty. While the Gubernatorial candi-
dates of the opposition factions are seeking
through fraud and chicanery, by pandering to
local predudices, 10 gain votes, the worthy
standard-bearer of the Democracy is quietly
pursuing the even tenor of bis way, boldly and
manfully avowing his principles upon every
occasion and in every locality, very properly
leaving local questions to be settled as right
and justice shall dictate. The Independent po-
sition of Col. Weller stands forth in bold relief
when contrasted with the trucking policy Of
his opponents, and must secure for him the re-
spect and confidence of the people, as one with
whom the executive affairs Of the State can be
safely trusted. In him the Democracy have Q
tried and faithful public servant, and the hon
ors about to be heaped upon him are richly
merlted

II. I. THORNTON, JR.-The Sierra papers con
tain in the roll of Democratic candidates fol-
that county, the name OF II. /. Thornton Jr., fol
District Attorney. The Democracy of Nevada
with whom Mr.. Thornton co-operated during
the eventful campaign of last year rejoice tC
hear OF his promotion and believe that his name
highly adorns the list in which it is now found
He was an active and conspicuous member ol
the Nevada Democratic Club from the beginning
to the close of the late canvass, and in zeal aud
efficiency was behind no member of that Club
a Club of ardent and taeuted young Democrats
which we venture to assert contributed as much
as any other political association in this State
to the glorious and eyer-memorable victory
achieved in the election Of James Buchanan.
Mr.. Thornton was q resident of this city for
nearly two years and left it in pursuit of pro-
fession of which he is an ornament, carrying
with him the highest respect and well-wishes of
all who knew him. Knowing him as we do, we
bespcak an enthusiastic support for him at the
hands Of the Sierra Democracy. The failure OF
the Republicans to nominate candidate FOR the
Office of District Attorney renders the contest in
Sierra, one between the tried and triumphant
Democracy on the one side, and the proscriptive
XII Yi's with the fag-ends Of every faction and
the odds Of all isms on the other. We are not
surprised to fad our young friend and former
neighbor at his new home warning with these
corrupt dark-lantern "capoodle-tes." For a
brief while he was numbered with them. The
Infamous tendencies of that secret organization,
the'proscriptye and ungratefnl policy advoca-
ted by the Order towards naturaized citizens
and Foreigners who have faithfully served our
country in peace and in war, were soon discard
ed and rs readily despised by him. He boldly,
at once and within the walls of the council
denounced the cheat and swlnde He turned
with scorn and disgust from the rery generous Of
fer of q prominent place made to him on their
ticket, aud lifting the standard o! Democracy
with us, bravely upheld it through the contest
as the only manly aud national one-the only
one under which true american could or would
battle.
1t gives us pleasure to bestow this just tribute
upon our former townsman on the occasion of
his nomination, and we cordially commend him
to the undivided support of the Democrats OF
Sierra-conident that he will as man and as
lawyer reflect great credit upon their choice.

Our County Nominees.

The proceedings of the Democratic County
Convention, which we publish to-day will be
read with interest by the Democratic masses Of
the county. The most perfect harmony and
good feeling prevailed, and the friends of the
defeated aspirants for the several offices sub
mitted cheerfuly to the will Of the majority,
and pledged themselves to give the ticket a
hearty support.
Judge Walsh the Senatorial nominee, has re-
sided in Nevada since lS49, and represented the
county in the Senate In the session Of 1852. He
10 well known iD the county as firm and con-
sistent Democrat a man of character and ster-
ling integrity. As an upright, publc-splrited
citizen, he enjoys the confidence aud esteem of
the community in which he resides, and perhaps
no man could have been selected whose nomi-
nation would have given more general satisfac-
ton to the people of the county. He will make
worthy representative Of the first mining
county in the State.
The nominees for the Assembly are well
known throughout the county. Messrs. Hill
and Young were candidates for the Assembly
in 1855, when the Know Nothlngs carried the
county, and did good service for the Democracy
In that memorable campaign They stood by
the party in its darkest hour, and we are glad
Ito see that tho party has not forgotten its tried
servants. Messrs. Plumer. Caldwell and War
field, were each recommended by majority of
the delegates from their respective townships,
which was considered sufficient endorsement
Of their claims.
The ticket on the whole is good one, and
we feel assured the masses of the party will rat
ify the action.of their representatives in the
County Convention. The canddateswere equit.
ably distributed throughout the county, and the
preferences Of the several sections as to their
local candidates, invariably governed the ac-
tion Of the Convention.
After the adjournment of the Convention, the
newly appointed Central Committee met, and
elected |. N Dawley, of Nevada, Chairman, and
Thomas Hanna of Bridgeport Secretary.

y OVERLAND IMMIGRATIoN.-The overland immi-
grants are beginning to pour into the country
by way of Placervile. All accounts represent
the number of immigrants as very large, and
they are compelled to travel in large trains, to
protect themselves from the attacks of the Indl-
ans, and their white traders and directors. Sew
eral lives have been lost and much stock stolen.
The Indians are very troublesome, and the back
trains are said to be in great peril. 1t is be-
lieved that white men are in league with the
Indians, in stealing cattle and robbing the i'm
migrants.

meet the approval Of the Journal. and we notice
