name is William S. Sumner, and he is, if report
is correct, near relative of Charles Sumner,

ELECTION OF SESAT0R.-ln speaking OF the
chances of the various candidates for Senator in
case Dr. Gwin has resigned and gone into the
Cabinet, the Sacramento Bee, after stating that
that very able, eloquent and popular Democrat,
Hon. NJ. S. Latham, "stands to-day head above
any of his competitors in the Senatorial race, y
remarks as follows
No man, however, can say that he has a ma
jority, and could be elected. The field is against
Weller, because he is deemed the most formda-
BILE in the present complication of things not
withstandng that he cannot start with as much
force as some others; but they will come in,
in the main, with their entire strength, while he
is more likely to pick up stragglers than any
other man that can be named. The Latham
ties, Westinghouse and Terryites, etc., are
combined to make common cause against We'll
Ter, and force him out of the ring, and that done,
they will fight among themselves for the prize
If Gwiu were here to-day, and candidate
before the Legislature, he could, we believe, be
reelected, in spite of all the combinations that
could be formed against him. He is known to
be bitterly hostile to Latham and favorable to
Washington, while between him and Weller
there is no love lost. If he shall throw his in
fuence into the contest, it will be against La
than first, and he would probably take up his
FRIEND the Collector of San Francisco, to beat
his enemies with Under these circumstances
Washington might be elected but unless some
extraordinary screws are brought to bear, it is
not improbable that the Legislature will pass
away without an election, and in that case the
Governor will have no power to appoint.

DISCOUNTED GRAVE RoBBER.-A few nights
ago a party of young men in this place, for the
purpose of having lark" and ridding the

fellow citizen, employed him (the unproductive
fellow -citizen) to rob the graveyard of corpse
promising him that he would be paid a GER
tain number of dollars therefor by certain phv-
scians who desired to dissect the same In the
meantime several Of the party, provided with
firearms, secreted themselves in the " Cemete-
fy" grounds, and as soon as the sjolly grave
digger had struck few licks with the pick,
bang" bang" bang" bang" went the re-
yolvers, accompanied by yelings of such awful
and terrific character as would have frightened
most men outside of a graveyard. 1t is there
fore needless to say that the graye-robbing un-
productive fellow-citizen was badly scared. He
sped with the speed of Northwest wind
clearing the fence in bound he flew to the
hills, and, in the +" twinkling of II bed-post," was
lost in the darkness. What has become of him
no man knows, although it is suspected that, in
the blindness of his fright, he ran against a tree
and butted his brains out upon the /" cold, cold
