Daily Iowa State Democrat. [volume] (Davenport, Iowa) 1856-1859, 1857-11-25
A series of BlundorS.

The Gazette claims this as a Repub-
lican State. Nonsense Ohio has elect
ed a Legislature largely Democratic
in both branches; whist Chase was
Only elected Goeenor By Negro votes ;
change Of 100 votes would have even
then elected Payne, the Democratic
nominee.
1t also claims Wisconsin as Repub-
lician, and declares Randall to be elect
ed Governor. Don't it know better
Is it not aware that James i. Cross,
the Democratic Candidate, has been
chosen Governor by 1000 majority ?
1t likewise claims New York-New
York, which lately elected the entire
Democratic State ticket by $500
majority-as Republican State !
That will do, certainly. Is the Ga
zette quite sure that Fremont was
not elected President Its notions Of
politics are sadly confused. However
it explains the Black Republic; de-
feat in a highly satisfactory manner ;
1t says that some hundred Mousand
Repablicons stayed ut home on election
day." The Gazette Is a luminous
sheet
1t has recently received some spec
ial intelligence from Minnesota announ.
cling the Election of Ramsey. Let the
Gazette alone for late and reliable news
the people Of Minnesota are under the
impression that SibIey is the Governor
elect, the Gazette knows better.
We know the Gazette feels "bluc"
since the late elections, and we don't
blame it. To lose 234 votes in Scott
County BESIDES losing New York, Ohio,
Connecticut and Wisconsin, is enough
to discourage G. more sanguine man
than Sanders. Poor fellow.

Theatre.

On Saturday night the Stranger was pre-
sented to a larger audience than we have
seen in the Theatre since Miss Potter opened
it The principal characters were well
played, indeed Miss Potter was more than
usually pleasing as Mrs. Haller, and Mr..
Brown was very happy as the unhappy Stran-
ger, but the wretched attempt of the very
awkward and rosy checked young man wha
was cast as the Count, was painfully embar-
RAISING to himself, the audience aud the dra-
mats persona, and it is TO be hoped, that in
future. il he is entrusted with any charac-
ter, it may be such one ~ lie is more Ca
pable Of personating. We don't desire TO he
hypercritical. nor indeed are we, hut the
spelling of very interesting scene through
the total incapacity of one or more of the
company TO give even tolerab!e rendition Of
their parts. is particularly annoying and
should be avoided if possible.
The afterpiece was the Irish Lion, and
Dumphres as Tom Moore, and Mrs. Hunt as
Miss Fizgig, were as funny as heart could
wish. The Theatre was rendered very com
Portable by large box-stove that MIR. Nor.
ris has wisely provided it with.
To- night, Mr.. Fleming the celebrated ira
gedian, will appear in the character of Ham.
let, Miss Potter playing Ophela. We trust
to see a full house on the occasion.

The Big TREEs.-The Scientific Congress
which lately met at Albany. New York,
among other things passed resolution, ask
ing the Governor and Legislature of Califor
ns, for the sake of science, to take steps for
the preservation of the big trees back of
Murphys Camp They did this under the
belief that those found in that locality were
the only ones now in existence. The late
discoveries in Mariposa county correct this
impression. The suggestion is, however a
good one; and steps should be taken to pre-
serve the celebrated Mammoth Grove as pub
lie property, aud to prevent the destruction
or removal of any other of the famous groups
Another account from the east, tells of a
gardener who had 1900 plants growing,
which we're raised from the nuts or seed
gathered under these trees, and which were
there, worth dollar piece.

THE VorE OF SAN Francisco, is, rela-
lively considered, the seventh il size among
the cities of the Union, and is next to that
of Boston. That city polled at the last pres
idential election 16, ,444, and San Francisco
poled II ,904. which is more than either the
vote of Chicago, Buffalo, st Louis. Albany,
New Orleans or Louisville. This is rather o
startling assertion, but is nevertheless true,
this is to say, if statistical table published
in the Cincinnati Commercial, setting forth
the number of votes polled on the last gen.
eral election day, in the various large cities
of the Union, is a correct statement.

A GAMBLING MURDER.-One of those ter
rible death tragedies, says the Mariposa Ga.
rette, which falls within our province to re-
cord but too often in this county. took place
at Whitlock's, on Sunday evening 1t ap-
pears that two men, one Of whom was MIR.
Rose, the other we do not know, were play
ing at cards for small amount at the store
in that place. While so engaged, Mr. Lu-
cas- approached the table and picked up the
money belonging to Mr.. Rose. amounting to
about three dollars. Mr.. Lucas was intoxi-
Gated, and no notice was taken of it. Later,
Mr.. Rose demanded the money, and Mr.. Lu-
cas- refused to give it up. No harsh lam
guage, however, was used, and on the re-
peated refusal of Mr.. Lucas to the demand,
Rose plunged large knife into his breast,
cutting through the heart and killing him
instantly. Rose was arrested and brought
to Marposa, where he, waving an examina-
ton, was fully committed without bail

EARTHQUAKE IN SACRAMENTO "A shock
Of an..earthquake was felt in Sacramento on
Friday says theJouvnai. The movement was
undulating and the direction from north to
south, Much alarm was felt in many parts
of the city, no perceptible damage was done
however. either to persons or property. ex-
cept to one building, owned by Mr.. Kosh-
land, which was sunk an inch, and the plas-
tering shaken from the walls. The shock
was felt at Benson's Ferry in Sacramento
county, and it is reported that some build

There was nothing of interest done in ei-
ther House to-day. The attention Of the
Legislature is wholly engrossed in the Sem
atorial election. This will probably be brot
to au issue early next week. after which she
Legislature will commence business in ear
nest.
The nomination of Broderick was ctlebra-
ted in good style by his numerous friends,
many of whom ran all night, under high
pressure of patriotism and good feeling. OF
course there was o corresponding depression
visible in the good natured mugs of his op-
poneuts. 1t will doubtless worry some OF
the purity vgilante press of San Francisco
and. strange as it may seem, some of the
Federal office holders, judging from appear
ances, ARE not in joking mood over the result.
Telegraphic dispatches from San Francisco
state that the city was frantic with delight
on the receipt of the news.
Sacramento experienced slight shock Of
an earthquake this morning.

bers, contractors, politicians, and
speculators-were certainly against
him, and he as certainly against them:
but the mass of the intelligence of the
country acas acith him." and so in
deed it is with Mr.. Broderick, as the
ioyous demonstrations that have been
manifested in various portions of this
glorious State, give ample testimony.
He is most emphatically "the peo-
ple's choice, "and had his name come
before the people of the State for
their direct suffrages, none can doubt
that his election would, if possible,
have been more triumphant than it
already has been.
We have one more favor to ask of
the Legislature after having acted
thus nobly-and that is the election
of Hon. J. w. McCORKLE for the
short term. We ask it in behalf of
the entire North, and of nine-tenths
of the voters of the State at large.
