The keystone Club.

We are pleased to notice the reorganization
OF this Club. 1t shows that the same love
OF Democracy, and enthusiasm for its meas
ures, is kept up as characterized its numer-
Gus members last fall. Political clubs are
the most effective organizations ever adopt
ed by any party, and are productive of great
strength, harmony and concert of action on
the part of the members thereof. We hope
to see the list of members Of this club allied
with the names of all good Democrats in
0roville, and with the ranks thus filed we
can readily accomplish whatever ends we
may conceive best for the carrying out of
measures and principles. Col. Weller will
address the Democracy this evening, and as
the life and soul of the party in Orovilfe, the
keystone Club should be on hand to receive
him, and should turn out in such numbers
as they can muster, and if they will but do
it, they can show bigger force than can
any mining town in the State. Give the
Colonel bumper boys. Rally around your
standard bearer!

From PITT RIvER.-The Yreka Union
learns that three or four horses were stolen
from a Mr.. Keene, who was camped nea,
the place where Dickman was shot or the
4th--it was supposed by lndians--which had
not been recovered. Lieut.. Crook left the
fort on the 18th inst with company OF
men and ten days provisions, for scout in
the Indan country. 1t was his intention
on his return to make an excursion against
the Indians on Hat Greek. He is regarded
with great favor by all the inhabitants of
the Valley as a most energetic and efficient
officer. Our informant thinks if he is fur
nished with men and supplies till fall, there
will be no need of reservation for the Pitt
river Indians. Captain Gardner was en-
gagged in erecting suitable quarters for the
troops The ferry is in good condition.
Mr.. Durham thinks there will be four hun
drcd acres of gcain sown in the valley.

escape AND RE-CAPTURE OF PRISONERS.
Two prisoners confined in the Yreka Jail,
escaped therefrom on Thursday last. One
is white man named Ward, who was con-
fined on charge of Grand Larceny, the
other was Knnaka, who had been incar-
cerated for some trivial offence After
straying about in the woods during one
night, they were both re-captured and
locked up again When Ward escaped, a
chain and shackle were attached to his leg
but he stole file from blacksmith's shop
in the night and cut them off

A RASCAL CAUGHT.-A man named James
Brown was arrested in Downieville on Tues
day last, says the Sierra Democrat, under
The following circumstances 1t appears that
Brown came over to Downieville on Monday
last, from Minnesota, where he had been
mining, and proposed to 60 into partner
ship with young man who works at the
United States Hotel. He proposed to him
that they should get chloroform, and use it
for the purpose of robbing, by causing the
victim to sleep while they robbed the house
The young man he proposed it to, agreed to
join him and buy the 'chloroJorm, but on
leaving him he went and informed citizen
of Downieville, who promptly sent him to
Mr.. Donovan, constable for this township.
A plan was then laid by the acting District
Attorney, Mr.. Spear, in concert with some
others, to give him the drug and then arrest
him, which was done. He was examined be-
| fore Justice Harris, on a charge of attempt
ing to commit burglary, and after fall
examination he was committed to Jail, in de
! fault of $1,000 bail, to await the action OF
the next grand jury.

Theatre.

With last nights performance terminated
the engagement of the Phelps Dramatic
Troupe in this place. An excellent bill was
presented, but we are sorry to say, to rather
a small audience We regret this more than
otherwise from the fact of its being Mr..
Phelps benefit. Three pieces were played,
"Charles the Second" "The Omnibus" and
"a kiss in the dark" Mr.. Phelps played
the "Merry Monarch with more than his
usual good taste and spirit, and played Mr.
Pettibone in very amusing manner. Mr..
Horizons Pat Rooney was in the very best
style of Irish comedy. lie excels in this
line of character, and by application will
become u first rate Irish comedian This
very superior company goes from hence to
Forbestown, Rabbit Greek, Downieville, etc.
at which latter place they will be joined by
Mrs. Potter. We commend them to the the
atre goers of those places, as the very best
company in the State.

THE SCHOOL TAx.-The vote of Saturday
upon the School Tax question, resulted in
triumphant affirmative, the ballots standing
"Yes," 204, "No," AZ. leaving majority of
157 in favor of the tax We are glad to
chronicle this act of liberality on the part of
our townsfolk, and indeed, can hardly con
ceive what those fellows are made of who
voted "No." We believe in giving the
"Younkers'' chance. first, last, and all the
time, and think that when we are really un.
able to give young America" an education,
We ought to sell out to somebody that can
afford it.

Has AsCERTAINED.-The Editor of the
Red Bluff Beacon, weekly paper published
in Tehama coanty, recently left to attend
the State Convention and take a trip below.
He employed Pro TEN to take charge Of
the paper during his absence, as Editors
generally do, Everything worked ''lovely"
during the first week, but during the past
two weeks, two conventions were held, one
to nominate candidate for District Judge,
and the other to nominate q candidate for
State Senator. The particular favorites Of
the Pro TEN failed to be endorsed by these
conventions, and the Pro Tenn announced
in the Beacon of Wednesday last. which ap-
peared without the name of either candidate
in its ticket, that he was waiting to ascer-
Judge, and that their Senatorial convention
had played Shenanigan game.
We understand that he has ascertained
who the nominees really are at last. We
learn by private letter that the
Democracy Of Tehama, indignant at such
an unprincipled course, took measures to
oust the Pro Tenn with man worshipping
and boiling proclivities, and placed a con-
sistent Democrat in the position he had fail
to occupy in manner satisfactory to the
party. At last accounts the boiling Pro
TEN was industriously engaged in endeav-
oring to raise means to start true Demo-
cratic paper at Tehama. and buck against
the Beacon These boilers are terrible
chaps!

WALKERS RIVER DIGsMGs.-W We were
shown aEletter last night from gentleman
in Carson Valley, wherein be says that a
rumor is very prevalent in those parts to the
effect that diggings had been struck on
Walkers River which pay from $40 to $40
per day. We rather incline to the idea that
this rumor owes its parentage to those patri-
otic gentlemen who are so peculiarly anx
ious to have the National Wagon Road come
into California ria a route at or near Honey
Lake by the way of Carson Valley and Pla.
cerville. We reckon these diggings are very
convenient to certain lands in which Mr..
Commissioner Kirk is more or less interest
