The result Of the City Election just
past, has, we trust, taught the Demo
cratic party lesson that it will not
soon forgct-a lesson that it may, and
we believe will profit by, in time TO
come.
1t was the general impression be-
fore the election, and in fact, the signs
Of the times led all to suppose that the
Democratic party was far in the mi
nority in this city. This has been
thoroughly disproven. The election
Of Monday, though carried On with
but little spirit by the Democrats,
came within very small distance OF
being decided victory IN favor of the
Democratic party; and we 'eel
safe in saying, that bad the Democratic
organization been perfect, ard tn n
tire working force of the party br II
into requisition, not Republic 81 4
didatc on the City ticket won Q
been elected, and not more than lvo
Aldermen on the Ward tickets. such,
we say, might have been the result /,
and such would have been the result
had the party only known the full ex-
tent OF its strength. 1t is Of no use
to bewail past mistakes, but it is our
duty as party to profit by them, and
learn to do better and act more wisely
IN the future.
Let the organization Of the party,
BY means of the Democratic Club, be
kept perfect. Every Democrat in the
city should become member-an &C.
tive, working member of the Club
and induce all others to do likewise. Lei
the name of every Democratic voter
be known; let it be enrolled on the
books, with the ward and block il
which he lives. by paying due atten
tention to this matter, and pursuing
it in proper form; by the aid of vigi
lance committees and working Demo

none but straight, sound, out-ond OF
Democrats for candidates for the dit
terent offices to be fiied, and Their
will be ne trouble in saving the cit
from the Republican SpoI-hunters
and holding it in more worthy an,
more proper hands.
But-so long as the spirit of ANAL
gamation is fostered and cherished b
any Of the party, and SO long as the,
permit that spirit to predominant 8
long as profcsscd Democrats will Gu
the Democratic party and bow dow
before strange gods, just so long Wi
there be strife, confusion, oppositio
and turmoil in the Democratic camp
and confusion and ignominious defea
on the field Of battle. Let Democrat
appoint and support Democratic stand
ard bearers; let Democrats "put non
on guard" but Democrats, and let thos
who are not willing to work firml
and truly on Democratic ground an
inside Of Democratic traces, be kicke'
out INTO the gutter in which they ar
only fit to wallow.
Let Democrats be Democrats still

TRIAL TRIP OF THE STEAMSHIP CoATzACoAL-
cos.-The steamship Coatzacoalcos made her
trial trip down the bay yesterday. Her di
mensions are as follows: Tonnage, 1000; {;
keel, over all, 300 feet; breadth of beam, 38
feet; depth, Ia feet. She is capable of ac
commodating about one thousand passengers
The Coatzacoalcos is to run from New Or
leans to Minititlan for or under the direction
of the Tehuantepec Transit Company. She
has been thoroughly overhauled and fitted
up for the service upon which she is about to
enter. A new donkey engine, new boiler and
furnaces have been putin her. 1t is claimed
that the Coatzacoalcos has been made as
strong as it is possible to make any steam
ship, while she has certainly been finished
with much art and taste Her steerage is
particularly fine, being well ventilated, COM
modious and comfortable; indeed, it is said
that no other vessel has ever left this port
with so fine one.
The Coatzacoalcos left the pier at the foot
of Eighth street, East river, between and
10 o'clock yesterday morning, with quite a
number of invited guests on board, and pass
ed down the East river, thence down the
bay She was 30 minutes going from the
Battery to Fort Hamilton, distance of seven
and a half miles, against a strong flood tide,
seventeen revolutions a minute. After pass
ing below the Narrows she returned making
the distance from Fort Hamilton to the Bat
terry in twenty four minutes under the same
pressure of steam. After steamng about in
various directions till between two and three
o'clock P. NJ, she landed at the foot of Spring
street, North river.
The mate of this steamer is being prepar-
ed and fitted up just like her for the same
service. Both of them have been purchased
by Hargous & Brothers, agents for the Te-
huantepec line These steamers were built
in 1855 for the Great Western Railroad Co.,
to be run on Lake Ontario. They were used
on this ronte about ten months and in June,
1853, Capt Wiloughby and Capt West took
them down the Grand Rapids to Montreal
and thence TO New York They were taken
to Hunters Point and placed upon the rail.
way to be coppered and fastened After which
they were taken to the yard of Mr.. Sneeden
for the purpose of being altered The guards
were cut off to within three feet of the hull
and other alterations made to fit them for the
sea service. These changes were made in the
expectation that the boats would be put on
the Valparaiso and Panama route, but the
negotiations failing from some cause an offer
was made by the United States government
to charter them for the Paraguayan expedi-
ton Finally, the government decided not
to employ them for that purpose, and they
now have been disposed of as above stated
The boats are well and substantially built,
and originally cost $4,000. They are both
finely finished in the cabins, and the altera-
tions now made will increase the cost to
100000. The engines are seventy inch
cylinders twelve feet stroke and were built
by the West Point foundry. The boats were
built at the town of Niagara, on Lake On.

PIumas County.

The Plumas Argus says Plumas county
will yield twenty five per cent. more gold
than last season.
The agricultural interests of the county
viii keep pace with her mining.
The Assessors books for 1859 will proba-
llv show an increase of thirty three per cent.
over 1858.
Several buildings are under contract in
Quincy, and others in contemplation. The
town will probably improve more this sea-
son than during the last three.
Heretofore Quincy has had to contend a.
oanst the most uncompromising opposition
in every effort for improvement, consequent
lv her progress has been slow, particularly
so for California town. Now that she has,
despite opposition, taken precedence of all
other towns in the county, we anticipate for
her prosperous future, a rapid growth; in
anticipation of which, our citizens should at
once take into consideration the necessity that
exists for certain changes that must be made
now if made at all. We refer particularly to
the widening of the streets, they are too mar
row by one half, for either beauty, convent
ence or safety, and inasmuch as land is plen-
tv and cheap we suggest to the property
holders of Quincy the propriety of adding at
least twenty five feet to the width of the
streets and requiring all buildings hereafter
put up, to conform to the new survey Such
an arrang would speedily remedy the
evil, as a majority of the buildings are unsub
stantial and temporary and will be rebuilt
within short space of time Owners of
more valuable buildings would be more than
paid the expense of moving in their increased
security from fire-the increased value of
their building lots and the greater convent
ences afforded to the travelling public.
