va A case of assault and battery came
off day before yesterday in Justice Safford's
Court, which excited much feeling and in
terest among the bystanders, producing &C.
casional outbursts of applause and indigna-
ton during the progress of the trial. 1t ap.
peared that one James F Clark, some time
ago appropriated" the wife of Wm. Edward
McGee, taking her little daughter, beau
tiful little girl of IL years of age, to become
the servant and drudge of this newly formed
family. 1t appeared from the testimony of
the little girl, Caroline, who told her sad
story with sobs and tears, that Clark had
repeatedly whipped her whenever she mem
toned her fathers name and because she
would not acknowledge CLARK as her father!
The unfeeling mother q appeared as a
witness in defense of Clark, and endeavored
by her testimony to make the Justice believe
that the little girl was whipped by her au-
thority; but her testimony had but little
weight against the simple and touching
story of her child, and Clark was found
guilty amid the applause of the audience
Clark was fined $50, OF so days in Jail

Mr.. EpIToR-

Senior '.Decorum,' who takes so much
pains to inform the public that he is & de-
eorous,'' may have forgotten that the
90 church goers " at the Court House enjoy
certain privileges that are not to be over
balanced by little Smoke or the exhibit
ton of one of the " hajitues of the Court
House in the shape of letter ''Y." While
these sensitive church goers enjoy the priv
ilege of assembling in the Court room, there
to worship their various heavenly and
earthly gods, they should remember, with
charity, that most of those whose lots are
temporarily cast about that building, have
given their money to build church, where
g smoking abaft the shaft might be pro-
hibited with better show of propriety and
independence and also, that when Chris
tians enter house which does not belong
to them, they should ''teke that which is set
before them" and not dictate to the dwell
lers therein how high they shall elevate
either their feet or heads.

We place at the head of our columns to.
day, the ticket nominated by the Democratic
Caucus of Saturday evening In doing So.
we take double pleasure, for there is not
a man on the ticket who is not thoroughly
identified with, and interested liz the
prosperity and advancement of Oroville,
and we are also pleased that the De-
mocracy have determined to maintain
their organization throughout the diff
ferent ramifcatons of our government,
notwithstanding the efforts of spurious
and pretended Democrats who would
fain believe there was an end to political
parties and organizations, when the old
Wing and Know Nothing parties terminated
their fitful and fretful existence.
The gentlemen nominated for Trustees,
were chosen solely with view to unite
strength upon men who are interested in
protecting and fostering the interests of the
towr. They all have permanent and abid-
ing interests here, and the management of
our Municipal affairs cannot be placed in
more competent, faithful and reliable hands
None of them sought the position, nd none
have interests to serve except those of the
public.
The nominee for Marshal, jesse Beene,
ESQ, is a man of sterling qualities, and well
calculated for the position to which he has
been nominated Generally known, and as
generally esteemed as a man and Demo
crat, his nomination will meet with the
hearty support of the Democracy. Messrs.
Mclaughlin AMI Coffee were the opponents
of Mr. Beene for this position, and the nom
ination Of either of them would have af-
forded satisfaction, but the Caucus concluded
to give cur opponents g Jesse " at our first
Municipal election-not the Jesse" the Re
publieans gave the Democracy last fall, as
Mr. Beene has no affinity Herewith. His
brother was n member of the Democratic
National Convention, and had the honor of
bringing forward the Hon. j. C. Brock
enridge as the candidate for the Vice Pres-
deucy.
James McWilliams, Esq, the nominee for
Treasurer, has been engaged in the Banking
business in Oroville, since its infancy, and a
pletheric FIRE proof vault attests the conf
deuce and esteem with which the public have
regarded him
Mr. 0'Shea, the nominee for Assessor,
is person with whom We are personally I'M
acquainted at present, but doubtless shall
make his acquaintance IT. an official way,
rs the endorsement of his friends and the
caucus attest his qualification and fitness for
the position.
With the above ticket in the field, we have
no fears but that it will be our agreeable
dnty 10 announce on the morning of the
9TH Of May, that 0roville has elected the en-
tire Democratic ticket.

FORTUNATE EscAPE.-Last Saturday.
says the Mountain Messenger, while Mr.
John Eterly was passing through Secret
Diggings, he stepped into shaft near forty
feet deep, with abont fifteen feet of water in
it. As soon as Mr.. E. fell through the crust
of snow that covered the shaft, his dog ran
about barking, and by repeated efforts of
the kind, succeeded in attracting the atten-
ton of some passers near by, who immedi
ately procured rope and rescued the un-
fortunate man. Mr. Z. had, before assis-
lance arrived, succeeded in getting within
fifteen or twenty feet of the top. when he
again slipped back. At the time of the rope
reaching him. he was barely able to tie it
around him and be hauled out.

CoRPoRATIoN LIAIITs.-Ne are disposed
to complain of the very limited corporate
boundaries Of 0roville. Many of our bust
ness men, who are deeply interested the
prosperity of the town, aud whose property
will be taxed for corporate purposes, have
their residences outside of the boundaries,
and, consequently viii not be entitled to
vote at the municipal elections. This is not
only the case at the lower end of town, but
is also found to exist at the head Of Mont
gomery street, where the bluff intersects the
river Men who have chosen their residen-
ces remote from the dust and business of
the town, are not entitled to q voice in the
city government.
This is to be regretted, and we hope that
a change in the boundaries of the corpora
ton, will be deemed advisable, and effected
at the earliest opportunity. The result of
the present boundaries of the town will be
a very light municipal vote, and not fair
representation of the qualified electors in
0roville.
