Know Nothing Senatorial Candidates.

Two years ago, just about this time of the
year, the Know Nothing party was predicting
e'eriast'ng political damnation to those Demo-
Gratis who were eudeavoring to defeat the cleo
tlon of a United States Senator. The dominant
party then presented three candidates for that
exalted position of Senator-Foote Marshall
and Crab-and declared that it would be salts
med with either, eff the other dear charmers
were away. Democratic Senate, however, re-
fnsed to permit either to be elected Whereupon
Know Nothing men and papers said it was
fearful wrong perpetrated upon the people of the
State-and that at the ensuing election the pop
ular fury would sweep the Democracy from the
face of the earth.
Well the election was had and the prediction
was verifed-over the left Instead of the De-
mocracy, Know-Nothism was swept away-as
the kitchen floor of a Pennsylvania Dutch house
wife on Sunday morning. Its very name was
swept away by the fury of the storm, so that now
1t is known all over the country by the signi6-
cant appellation of q The Minority Party" 1t
is "dead, dead, dead" and its corpse is not even
respected by those whom, when in life, it lifted
into power.
But what of the great intellectual trio-the
three political giants-either one of whom was
thought to be capable of "saving the country"
if placed in the United States Senate-what of
them? Where are they now after two short
years? Are they yet enamored of California :?
Are they still numbered among the earnest thou
sands who are trying TO make California the
pride of the Republic? Alas for the weakness
of human friendships, they are not now even cit
izens of the State. Their proposed boundless
love for California was all lie. Nay, they
loved California just so long as there was a
chance TO get office. That chance gone, they
departed, without caring farthing whether the
State was "saved or not. Crabb went to So
nora, for the purpose of building up Republic
there that would acknowledge him as its head
and lost his head-to the eternal disgrace OF
Mexico. Ned Marshall left the State in disgust
almost nstanter, and has never returned And
last, though not least, Foote-who with right
hand upon his left breast so solemnly assured
the people that California would suffer i'm
mensely if he was not elected Senator-he, too
has taken his dcparture-he, too, has abandoned
California, which he once professed to love with
a love that could only end with life-and is now
resident of Memphis, Tennessee Thus, one
by one these X. n. candidates who professed to
hold the interests ofCalifornia so much at heart
but few short years agone, have abandoned
her-perhaps for her good.

SUICIDE OF Ex-PREsIDExT ANsoN JoxEs-The
community of Houston was very greatly shocked
this morning by the report which rar. through
the streets that ex-President Anson Jones had
killed himself at the Old Capital Hotel last
night. He was found lying across his bed this
morning. at half past o'clock with dis
charged pistol in his hand and his brains blown
out. We give all the particulars of this lamen-
table affair we have been able to obtain.
Thus has fallen another great man of Texas
by his own hand. We well remember a con-
versation with DIR. Jones, soon after the death Of
the lamented Rusk, upon that sad event. How
little then did we imagine that the next of the
men whom the Republic of Texas had delighted
10 honor that would go, would be DR.. Jones,
and that too, adding his name to the list of sui
cides. Collngsworth, Birdsall, Grayson. and
Rusk, had gone that way, and Jones has now
followed them. Peace to his ashcsl

from the commander of the Mormon troops. of
which the following is the chief part:
On ascertaining the locality or route of the
troops, proceed at once to annoy them in every
possible way Use every exerton to stampede
their animals and set fire to their trains Burn
the whole country before them and on their
Hanks. Keep them from sleeping by night sur
prises. Blocade the road by telling trees, or de-
stroying river fords where you can. Watch for
opportunities TO set fire to the grass on their
windward, so as, if possible, to envelop their
trains. Leave no grass before them that can be
burnt. Keep your men concealed as much as
possible, and guard against surprise Keep
scouts at all times, and communication open
with Col. Benton, Major McAllister and C. p.
Rockwell, who are operating in the same way
Keep me advised daily of your movements, and

P. S.-If the troops have not passed, or have
turned in this direction, follow in their rear. and
continue to annoy them, burning any trains they
may leave. Take no life, but destroy their trains
and stampede or drive away their animals at
every opportunity. DUW.

ALWAYS Busy.-The more man accomplisbes
the more he may. An active tool never grows
rusty. You may find those men the most forward
to do good, or to improve the times and manners,
who are always busy. Who starts our railroads,
our steamboats, our machine shops and our man
ufactories! Men of industry and enterprise. As
long as they live they keep at work do something
to benefit themselves and others 1t is Just so with
u man that is benevolent the more he gives the
more he feels like giving. We go for activity
in body, in mind; in everything. Let the gold
grow not dim, nor the thoughts become stale.
Keep all things in motion. We would rather
that death should find MS scaling mountain than
sinking in mire-breasIng a whrlwind than
sn,aking from cloud.- MripOsa Gozette.
