OREGON PoIIrIcs.-The Republican candi-
dates for Governor and member of Congress of
Oregon, have withdrawn from the contest, thus
leaving the field clear between the Irregular"
and "nstionap' wings of the Democracy. The
contest seems to be very bitter between the two
wings though we believe they both stand on
nearly the same platform, and both are in favor
Of Joseph Lane for o. 8. Senator. The Salem
Stdtsrndn, Of the Irregular" wing. accu.es O'Mea-
ra, the "national" candidate for State Printer,
Of double dealing on the Kansas question.
When he is with Lecomptonites he advocates
the immediate admission Of Kansas, but when
he gets with Douglas Democrats he keeps mum
on the question. The election takes place on
the first Monday in June, when the strength Of
the two factions will be fully tested.

Editorial CoNvESTIoN-The propriety Of an
editorial convention is being discussed by q
number Of our contemporaries, and the sugges-
ton meets with considerable favor. General
Allen, of the Marysvlle Nsps, was at FIRST ad-
verse to the proposition, but when Crossett, of
the Butte Record, suggested Marysville as the
place Of meeting, and the time between the 23d
and the 2sth Of August, the Generals objec-
tions were overcome, and he then saw q thou
sand reasons for bringing the brethren of the
quill together. and promises that Brother"
Ridge and himself will see that the fraternity
are oil comfortably housed and fed. We like
the idea of social gathering of the profession,
and shall therefore make it our business to be
in Marysville on the 25th of August, and to re-
main there until the close of the State Fair

TIE YUBA BRIDGE.-This noble structure,
says the Marysville Ners, has at last succumbed
to the elements. For several days past the
strong current beating against the south bank
of the river, has been gradually wearing it
away and undermining the pier which sup
ported that portion of the bridge. Just before
noon yesterday, the pier gave way and went
down the stream, after which the bridge set
tied so rapidly that all hopes of saving it were
abandoned. and it was deemed advisable to cut
it away at the center pier. to save the north
half from injury. This was completed about
half past o'clock, when. with loud crash the
tmbers parted. and one half the Yuba bridge
suddenly descended from its proud elevation,
and fell, perfect wreck, upon the bosom of the
muddy stream beacath.

A Sailor Murdered on Board U. s. Ship.
A shocking and barbarous affair occurred on
board the u S. ship st. Mary's, at Mare Island,
on Sunday, May Esd. A correspondent of the
S. F. Herald gives the following account Of the
affair
About two o'clock, Harry Frost, seaman
belonging to the U. S. Ship st. Mary's, came
aboard slightly intoxicated, and as he had fallen
overheard, desired to change his clothes. He
went to bis bag to obtain dry suit, when Cor
pOral KehO Of the Marine Corps, ordered him
to go in the brig, saying that be was drunk
and making too much noise. Frost requested
permission to change bis clothes first, which
KehO refused, and put him in the brig. James
Russell, master-at-arms of the st. Mary's, then
came into the brig with irons and gag, aud
proceeded to put the irons on Froste hands and
feet, while Keho attempted to put the gag in
his mouth, to which Frost offered some resist
ance, and refusing to be gagged, Keho knock
ed him down and kicked him several times on
the neck and face, and then gagged him. Frost
still continued to talk as well as the gag would
permit him, when Russell went back and drew
the strings OF the gag little tighter and left
him the second time. Nothing was then heard
from Frest but stiaed grOans and indstinct
mItterings. Russell then went to Frost, and
needless of bis cries for mercy, placed his knee
ON the back of his neck, drew the strings Of
the gag as tight as he could, and left him, say,
ing, NOW holler, damn you" This "ast turn"
was too much. Poor Frost was heard to
breathe five or six times, aud the effort to get
bis breath was truly painful to bear. The "sen-
try" on the brig became alarmed and calling
the master-at-arms and Corporal Keho told
them that the man was dying; instead of taking
the gag out of his mouth, at once, they went
for pillow, and after placing it under his
head, went for doctor. The doctor took the
gag from his mouth, but it was too late; Frost
was dead. An inquest was held. and the above
facts were sworn to by several men, who saw
the whole transaction. Frost was young
man. beloved by all who knew him, and his
