Who I. ,he F,,cnd Of the railroad ,


Now that the Lecompton organs have COM
menced, in good earnest, to abuse that stauneh
and true Democrat, Stephen A. Douglas, we
would remind the people of California that
he has shown himself the truest friend that
this State ever had, outside of her own limits
When, at the last session of Congress, it was
proposed to give the Kansas Kill precedence
over the bill for the Pacific Railroad, and
when nearly one of the LecomPtonites in the
Senate joined with the Republicans in favor
of giving il that precedence, Mr.. Douglas
said, "No. The Pacific Railroad Bill ought
to have the precedence-ought to be the first
disposed of, because, if it were not, the Kan
sas controversy would consume so much
of the time of the Senate that the Railroad
Bill could not be touched during the session
The Iecomptonites, who were in the majori
ty. cared nothing fer that, cared nothing for
California, and with the Republicans voted
down the proposition to give the Railroad
bill the precedence Mr.. Douglas, on that
occasion, nobly and eloquently stood up for
the wants of California-praisedh her resour-
ces as those of great empire on the Pacific,
and thought it the first duty of the Federal
Government to link that great.empire to the
Atlantic seaboard by bands of iron. He also
alluded to our distant and unprotected situa
ton, and declared that it was a culpable neg
lect of that parental care which the Federal
Government should exercise over every mem
Der Of the Confederacy, any longer to put
off this great aud necessary work. His ar
guments were of no ava ail-the Raj road bill
was showed aside, and the propect of its ever
being passed at all converted into a very re-
mote possibility.

RDPUBLICANs' NoTIoN OF DoUGLAs.-It is
strange that the Leeomptonites and Republi-
cans should so fully agree, at the present
time in abusing Douglas. The only differ
enee is that the Lecomptonites abuse him,
because as they say, he Is not Democrat
and the Republicans abuse him because he is
a Democrat. Lincoln expressed the Republi-
can notion of Douglas, when he said. as he
did in recent speech, that Douglas was ri
diculous enough to be Of the opinion that
ANY one man may take slaves into terri
tory, and all the other men in the territory
may be opposed to it, and yet, by reason of
the Constitution, they cannot prohibit it,
This is what Lincoln says Is Douglas ideas
about slavery in the Territories Very good
Dred Scott decision doctrine, we should think,

SIERRA CoUNTY.-The Sierra Democrat, Of
yesterday, comes to us with an able "leader'
on the present position of the Lecompton or
gans toward Stephen A. Douglas, and also
with the following items:
FATAL CAsUALTY.-Col Edgar Frazee. an
old resident of the county, was Instantly XII.
ed, at Goodyears Bar, on Saturday last, bv
the caving of drift in which he was work
ing. The Nip d Tuck Co. had abandoned
the diggings some time ago, and on renewing
operations commenced new timberinr the
tunnel. While engaged at this work, Fra
zee was completely covered up and crushed
10y the breaking of u timber, which let the
dirt fall upon him. Col f. was about As
years ofage, and formerly resided at Collm-
bus Miss
William File, who was working alongside
of F., was slightly injured in the breast
DEFERRED TRlP.--On Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Dick was coming down the trail on the
bank of the South Fork, on Kanaka Bar.
where he has been mining, intending to keen
ON down country, and take the steamer OF
the 10th for New York He had in Garnet
bag when he started, $3.50 in coin. On ar
riying i'll Downeville, he found hole in the
carpet bag, and his whole summers worl,
gone He has hunted assiduously for the
lost treasure, but it has probably been picked
up, and Dick must keep supply of starch in
his upper lip, and 80 to work again.
A row occurred at the bowling alley on
Commercial street, Thursday, in which Mr..
Preston. an old man, was terribly belaborod
by some one whose name we did not learn.
The latter was taken before Judge Harris,
who fined him $780, or 60 DAYS in iail. at
prisoners option. The fine was paid.
MONTE CRIsTo.-On Monday afternoon, a
miner named Walden, working in the Bge-
low Tunnel, had his right leg fractured below
the knee by the falling ota rock upon it.
Town tolerably dull. Tunnels generally
taking out smaller pay than usual Mr. Me
gnn tells US the Empire hasn't lost its grip,
and the washing up yields largely.

Poisonous FLowERs.-Many persons who
cultivate flowers are not aware that they Of
ten get into their collections some plants that
are very poisonous, Among the snowy flow
ering plants that are found in many gardens,
is the monkshead, (Aconite.) We have heard
of children who have been poisoned by chew
ing the leaves of this plant, while at play in
the garden; and it should prove caution
to florists not to have such deleterious plants
in the way. The Larkspur and the Foxglove
are among the poisonous plants often cultivs-
ted for their beauty.

LATER FROM THE WALKER RIVER MINES
The Mariposa Gazette says that a Mr.. LEROY
Vining returned from Walker river to Mari

QUEER DIscovEEY.-Om friend, Col vii
lams, has shown us some curiosities picked
up on the shore of Gold Lake, above Down
ieville They seem to be small steel bullets,
or shot, spherically inclined, but not perfect
ly round. They are, without much doubt,
earburet of iron, but whether made into their
present shape by human hands, and dropt
on the shore of Gold Lake, in this or any
other age, or whether they are the result of
some natural process Independent of human
agency, we cannot say. They are found in
considerable quantities lying on the beach

A NARROW EscAPE.-On Friday, while Mr.
Dinehart and Mr. Farrer were working il
their tunnel, near our office, says the La
Porte Messenger, mass of rock caved from
above and came down, striking Immediately
between them. A smaller piece struck Mr.
Farrer on the leg, bruising it very severely

HEALTHY INDIoArIoN.-Ansundertaker saws
the San Francisco Times, who usually does
thriving business in that city of burying the
dead, mournfully and sorrowfully informed
us yesterday, with solumn shake of his
head, that he had not sold coffin for three
days If deaths don't improve by people
dying off faster than they do, he contem
plates giving up business. We set his re-
marks down as a sure indication Of the health

DIVORCE CASE IN SUPREME CouRT.-Payne
VS.. Payne says the Union, was an applica-
ton by the wife for divorce, upon the charge
that the defendant had committed acts of
cruelty and adultery. The adultery was es-
tablished, but the defendant AYERS desertion
on the part of the wife, and that this act de-
barred her from relief The Court say it only
appears that the plaintiff left defendant, and
it is not to be presumed that she did so will
fully and without cause. If she was driven
from his bed and board, or if he ever con
sented to the separation, he cannot plead it
as an excuse for his own delinquency His
guilt being clear, it devolves upon him to
fix on his wife the charge of willful and
eauseless desertion. This he had failed to do.
A decree was ordered.

PURE JUICE OF THE GRAPE.-By reference
to the advertisement of Alphonse Sutter, in
another column, it will be seen that he has a
supply of pure wine, fresh from the press, at
Hook Farm There is no doubt, for we have
a specimen bottle before us, that this wine is
tn pure juice of the grdpe-the only pure
juice of the grape, we will venture to say,
in California. We have no hesitancy in
recommending this Hook Farm wine to the

The GREAT Foor RAoE.-The foot race be-
tween Forbes, of Sutter count, and "Soda
Bill" of Nevada, which has been the topic OF
conversation in sporting circles for the past
week or two, came off about sundown yes
terday, at Zabriskie's Both men showed
evidences of having been thoroughly trained,
and looked as though nothing short OF
streak Of creased lightning could overtake
either of them in a fair race The crowd
called together to witness the sport was
very large, and money was freely o't, SODA
Bill" being the favorite until after both
showed their muscle, when Forbes stock rose,
and odds were offered on him. We never
witnessed as much enthusiasm in race OF any
kind as was exhibited at this The Nevada
BOYS came down "hush," and were confident
of the success of their man. To use sport
ing phrase, which we have a right to do in
sporting article, the Marysville boys
"nipped" all that came in sight, and when
no more money could be seen or heard of,
the Judges were chosen, the track cleared,
measured, and the racers brought on in their
running clothes. They were each placed
and when the word was given they both
dashed forward together at speed perfectly
fearful to witness.
But few bounds had been made, when
Forbes showed an evident disposition to part
company with "Billy," and at the outcome
was found to be eight and half feet ahead of
him, winning the race with perfect ease. The
stakes were one thousand dollars a side. We
should Judge that at least ten thousand dol
lars changed hands on the result of this race.
Forbes is a fine built man. and runs like a
reindeer. We did not learn the time made
by Forbes, but it must have been inside of
eight seconds: distance, 100 Yards
