Political.

The political news from the East is most
cheering, denoting as it does the steady pro-
gress of Democracy, aud the speedy down
fall of fauaticsm.
In Pennsylvania, the old Keystone of the
Federal arch, the Democracy are about So
600 votes ahead
In Georgia and Tennessee they have
swept everything before them.
Even Ohio has been redeemed. The Leg
islature is Democratic, aud it is thought the
arch-aboitionst and traitor, S. z. Chase, has
been beaten for Governor Ifelected be has
not more than 900 majority This defeat
of the Negro-worShipers in their strong
hold, is the most glorious record we have
chronicled since the election of Mr.. Buch-
anan. Verify Negroism is dying out.
The result in Iowa and Minnesota was
very close aad still in doubt.
Amador weekly ledger., 1857-11-21
The Financial Crices,

The financial crash at the East is unpre-
cedented. Upto the time Of the sailing of
the steamer, there was no change for the bet
ter. The banks had mostly suspended, and
railroad and other companies were broke or
on the verge of bankruptcy. Business houses
of all kinds were failing, and almost univer-
sal bankruptcy prevailed. The panic has ex-
tended to the West and South, where the bus
mess horizon is almost as gloomy as in New
York
The failure of the New York and Boston
banks was scarcely expected. 1t was thought
they could weather the storm.
California is the only State in the Union
that is not materially affected by the panic
That which chiefly protects her is her spe-
Gle currency, yet there are even at this time
men and newspapers foolish enough to advo-
cate the propricty of establishing institutions
for the issue of rag money--arc they crazy
1t would seem that they base their calcula-
tons upon the supposition that the people of
the State are ignorant and fools.

srnscnmER, At Butte City.-The substance Of
vour inquiry is this Can you recommend the
new Bank by Samuel Brannan, which has been
advertised In your columns as 9 safe place ofde-
AstYv No; ,ce cannot. There have been so
: dspy bank swindlcs in this State that we cannot
,ocommend any institution of the kind as place
If deposit moreover we consider the security
ur Brannan offers as doubtful at the very best
and he may entertain deliberate intention of
Getting rid of his property at a good round price,
sav three or four times what il is worth by
which means depostors would of course be made
10 suffer- That Nr. BIS. property is extensive
there is no doubt, and it may be clear Of encum-
hranee and worth the sum set forth in the adyer-
tisernent yet there may be strong doubt as to
the validity Of that deed of trust. But grant
even that all right, and whatnext? Why, should
Mfr Brannsn become the recipient of heavy de-
nosits nd then fail, (whcn banks do break it is
always at such a time,) ever dollar OF the proper
ty decided in trust would go the way of Adams
and Co.'S assets-be swallowed up in litigation,
embracing court charges, attorneys fees, rcceiv-
er's pickings, and variousother leaks. Suppose

expenses of the hundreds and perhaps thousands
Of suits that would be brought by an army of

established to catch suchers-or perhaps Nor
mons Aside from all this there is
an nsuperable objection TO Mr.. Brannan's bank
In defiance Of the constitution and laws which
provide against everything in the shape Of pa
per currency, he proposes to flood the state with
his s. certificates of deposits. They viii circu-

enough to take them) until Mr.. Brannan fails,

bank notes in their form and language-in the
manner Of expressing the promise to pay 1t
is to he hoped that all such schemes, by which
money dealers seek 20 evade the provisions of the
constitution and laws. will be closely watched by
the people. Let no such concern be trustcd;-
avoid all such traps.

Drytown.

! A JEREaY D1DDLER.- A man representing
himself to be countryman Of any one with
whom he met, has been endeavoring to j." do
several Of the folks of Drytown. His meth
cd is to come up to his victim with Is
your name Doctor - 2" "That is my
name,' says the Doctor. "Well," says Jer-
envy" I" I've just came over from Jackson,
and seen George -, and the rest of the
boys, they are all right Doc, arc you from
Kaintucky' 2" Yesp "Were you ever
broke in this country?" Would you help
Kaintuckan in distress?n SO Jeremy
takes the Doctor for a FIVE He tried it on
several, but was soon suspected, and then
left town in hurry.
LOOK OUr-A correspondent of mdonbt-
ed veracty says "A Chinamnn, on Wednes-
day, at Drytown, drew knife on Dr. Kas-
mier, who had an alteration with him about
his stealing rope of the Doctors. There is
a vicious class among the Chinese population
of our State, who begin to disregard their
conciousness of inferority the weight Of the
law must be brought to bear against all such.
Their presumption must be nipped in the
bud. The Chinese are here by liberation
only they are of no real use to our State,
and never can be. The moon-eyed horde
must not be permitted to become fostering
sore in the body polite They are not of us,
and cannot be. Why permit the Asiatic
serr who drew the knife upon DR.. Kasmier
to pass unwhipped of justice, imposed by the
legality constituted tribunal?
New LINE OF SrAGEs.-We hear that a
new line Of stages is to be put on the road
from Drytown to lone City, and thence to
Lancha Plana, Campo Seco and the South
ern mines generally. 1t is to connect at
Drytown with the line to Mud Springs and
Placerville. There are already six lines Of
stages running through Drytown.
New Brick BunDING.-Dr Kasmier has
just completed one story brick building on
the Main street The Doctor has put up
.eyeral frame buildings since the fire. His
brick house, although but fifteen feet front,
rents for $55 month. This shows the val.
ne OF property in prytown.
QrARrz MIILs.-The five water power
quartz mills in the vicinity of Drytown have
all been undergoing repairs They lost a
good two weeks run by not being in order
before the late rains.
STREET REPAIRs-Teams have been en-
gagged in hauling gravel on the Maine street
in Drytown. This Improvement will be ap-
prechted during the rainy season.

The Murderers.

oheaans Quoon Vow, an accomplico of Fousin
IN the murder Of Mr.. Griswold, has been arrested
and Is confined in the jail at this place. Stranp
hopes are entertsined that the others will be cap
tured.
The Cinnamon have offered $500 reward for
the arrest of Fousn, and $500 each for Chou Yee
and Gun See, accomplices-in all s3,l0O The
reward for Fousin alone amounts to $4,000. inclu-
ding that offered by Mr. Kilham, the Governor and
the Cinnamon. Total reward for the murderers.
$1,000; and $500 ID addition for the recovery of
the money.
The arrest of Cheaung Quoon Vow by the Chi
nese, the reward they have offered, and the fact
that six of theta started yesterday, apparently in
good faith, in pursuit of the murderers, goes to
show that they feel the necessity ofdeivering over
the criminals to the law and justice; and if they
are not led by the miserable winnings of white
faced ours into the belief that no evil will come to
them If they do not, they will no doubt hand over
the murderers to the hands Of the proper author
tiles before many days or weeks at most shall have
passed. As we have before stated the Cinnamon can
capture them, or they can secrefe them II is the
duty of good citizens to make the Cinnamon under
stand that they must be captured and given up
1t is gratifying to know that, horrible as was the
atrocity, the people desire the iao to punish the
criminals ; and public opinion and the Legislature
to meet out a due reward tc the Chinese generally,
II they harbor among them and protect from pun
ishment, gang of their countrymen who have been
guilty OF one of the foulest murders ever commit
ted in California. Such things will not be permit
ted even if it be necessary to enact laws that will
drive the Chinese from the mines and from the
State
