The THIRD Town IN THE STATE. Speak.
ing of Marysville, compared with other
cities OF California, the Inquirer says it is
"unquestionably the third town in the
State" If figures speak the truth, Orovilo
and not Marysville, has right to claim
that position. Last year, Nevada was the
third, Marysville the fourth, and Oroville
the fifth. The returns of the recent election
show Oroville to be the third, although each
one of the three places, shows great de-
crease from last years vote

Ian, the previous report of the discovery Of
new gold placers, back of Mazatlan, is con-

pieces from them, some of which were worth
two dollars. 1t is said the diggings are We
ry rich, and many of the miners are rapidly
acquiring fortunes, but we are inclined to

SOME of the craft have been boastng that
10 printers are ever hanged or get into the
State prison Sorry it isn't true. The Jack
son Citizen gives the following instance to
the contrary:
"Byron Stuart Mcdonald, the mail robber
died a few days ago in the State penitentia-
ry, very suddenly, in a fit Lord Byron as
he was styled, was printer, and used to
traverse the country, subsisting by impos-
ton and crime. At one time he applied for
work at this Office as deaf and dumb prin
ter and so practised was he in his art, and
the use Of the slate,' that it was several days
before any suspicious were excited lie used
to travel in all kinds of beggsrly disguise,
thus spying into shops and houses to recon-
noiter and then returning to rob the inmates.
Happening on the Michigan Southern rail.
road at the time of the great collision at the
crossing he quickly formed the plan of rob-
bing the mail, AID he actually crawled over
the dead and dying in the wreck to secure
the bags Shortly after, he was detected in
attempts upon the mails near Adrian, ar.
rested convicted and sentenced to prison. for
life, and had been there nearly FIVE years.
He was an accomplished villain, and death
to him was q favor to the world. He was
the only representative of 'the craft in our
penitentiary"
A fellow who could seize such an oppor-
tunity for robbing the mails must have had
great presence Of mind, aud in that respect
is worthy to be compared with Napoleon

Z Hopeful Change.

1t gives US great pleasure to note a
disposition among the Northern Buchan-
an press, to sustain Governor Walker in
rejecting the Oxford fraud. We clip the
following from the last Lycomtng Ga
zette, and lay it before our readers with
great pleasure: ....
cat the late election in Kansas the eri-
dences of fraud in the returns from Ok
ford precinct, Johnson comfy, where so
palpable that Gov. Walker rejected them
entirely. This makes a difference in the
Territorial Legislature of three Council
men and eight Representatives in favor
Of the Free State party. BY this act Gov,
Walker has again shown, in the most en-
phatic manner, that whatever is done in
Kansas must be done fairly. Had he
been in the place of Reeder, when the
first election was held there, it is probable
there never would have been any ground
for the Black Republicans to raise the cry
of 'b!eeding Kansas" lie would have
annulled the whole fraudulent vote at
once, instead of first sanctioning it, and
afterwards denouncing what he at first
gave countenance. The Governors ac-
ton in the Oxford affair will ba apt to
give quietus to all attempts at fraud in
Kansas elections hereafter, and to Kan
sas political capital, All good citizens
will rejoice that he has had the wisdom
and courage to stop it where he did
There is no mistake ips that ,ast SEN
tence. All good oitizons aeiU rejoice that
the Oxford fraud is not to be allowed to
overthrow the will of the people of Kan.
ras, and we rejoice that the Gazette, Press,
and other papers Of that party, have at
last sustained a Governor in Kansas. when
he set himself against the deviltry of the
Border Rufhans. If they had taken that
step three years ago, much trouble and
crime would have been avoided 1t is
true enough that Reeder committed
great blunder in giving certificates based
on fraudulent returns, just as Walker
committed great blunder in allowing the
Border Rufhans to gerrymander the Ter
ritory, so as to make it possible to control
the entire Territory by fraud at one or ttoo
precincts.
But when Reeder discovered his error,
and undertook to remedy the evil so far
as he could, if the Gasette and its party
at the North had stood by him and sus-
tanned him, as they new sustsin Governor
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1857-12-03

Walker, they would have prevented all
the crime and misery that since marked
the track of the administration in Kansas.
We protest, therefore against the above
unmanly attack on Ex-Gov. Reeder. His
ignominious dismissal from office the
moment he showed purpose to put a
stop to the frauds Of the Boader Rufians,
with the appreciation of the Gazette and
it's friends, was injury sufficient. Com
NOM decency should prevent any member
of that party from ever mentioning the
name of Reeder, unless to ask his pardon
and forgiveness for the gross injustice OF
abandoning him at time when he most
deserved their support.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1857-12-03

prevent the escape of the rioters. Moth
ing indeed, no expense of labor must be
spared to restore American cities to the
condition of order and safety of which it
was once their pride to boast, We be-
lieye this can be done, and the interest.
pecuniary and otherwise, of every citizen
and well-wisher of his country requires
that it should be. Indeed, it is not op-
tional with us. 1t mast be done, or our
liberties are at an end.-N Q. Bulletin.
The real safety or the land is IN the
country. Let the millions out of the cit
les be true to themselves, and the cities
cannot harm US. As it is, mostly all the
virtue, intelligence and activity of our
large towns, come from the country
They are the "salt of the earth" these

Where the Bankers Generally
EscsORg.

AS some Of our Hunker friends are
very busy just now in crying down the
Banks, we shall take care to let our read
ers see to what party the Bankers gen.
orally give their support. The Hon. Jno.
A. Gamble, leading Hunker Democrat
.f Lycoming County, is President of the
Jersey Shore Bank, A large majority of
the Directors belong to the same party
The same is true of the Lock Haven and
WiIliamsport Banks. ...
The following extract from the New
York correspondence Of the Washington
Republic shows that the same is true Of
the Bankers of that seat of the money
power:
"The feeling here in favor of a thor
ough bank reform, and of substituting
gold and silver for paper in the smaller
channels Of circulation, is strong and gen
eral. AS the banking interest, however,
is SO potent with the Democratic party
to which the great body of the bankers
belong, very small hopes Of any effective
reform can be cherished, until there is a
change in the repositories of political
power

Ea- The present indications are, that
the Free State men Of Kansas viii not
participate in the vote to be taken on the
2lst Of December, upon the Slavery clause
Of Lecompton Constitution.
That election IS to be managed BY crea-
tures to be appointed BY Surveyor General
Calhoun, and the returns are to be receiv-
ed, counted, and declared BY him. In
view of the known character Of Calhoun,
it is probably of little consequence to the
result whether the Free State men vote or
not. The johnson county and McGee
