APRIcoTs.-Mr. Russell, whose beautiful
garden we have often visited with pleasure,
brought us yesterday an Apricot plucked from
one of his trees, which measures, longtudi-
nally seven and quarter inches, and weighs
just three ounces. 1t is not fully ripe yet,
and would have grown considerable if it had
remained upon the tree few days longer.
Mr.. Russell has taken from the same tree
this season, four apricots which weighed a
full pound. This is very large, much lar
ger than any we have ever heard of.

Broderick central Committee.

The Broderick Central Committee have a
call in to-day's Herald, for meeting. As
three Of their Assembly nominees have
"backed out" it is presumed the meeting o!
the committee is for the purpose of filing up
the ticket, if sufficient number of Brods
can be found in tie county. We would sug-
gest the propriety Of Withdrawing that tick
ct from the field, as it will have very few
votes-less, even, than the Republican Coun-
ty Ticket.

FAILURE OF THE HARGous BROTHERS.
With respect to this failure of the Messrs
Hargous, it is stated in the streets to be a
very bad one. 1t is said that they have had
the whole of the financial load of the Tehu-
antepec route upon their shoulders, in ad-
dition to their extensive business of a mer-
camille nature. Their liabilities have been
estimated as high as three millions, more
than half of which, it is said, have arisen
from their engagements in behalf of the
Tehuantepec route. They, it seems, have
been all along supplying the means in build
ing, stocking and running the route, while
Others have run away with the honor and
squandered the income. The firm is now
dissolved, the elder partner retiring, and
younger one joining new connection with
others.

by Divine rights the American citizen who

The War Of the California Steamship
Lines.

We copy the following from the Bulletins
New York correspondence of the date OF
June 7th:
The fight over the transit routes between
Vanderbuilt and the present company seems
to be as far as ever from a settlement, not
withstanding the various rumors to the con-
traly which are set afioat in Wall street 1t
is said that Vanderbuilt put the interval of
month between the sailing of the last
steamer for AspinwaIl and the proposed de-
parture of the next, for the express purpose
of patching up in the mean time some kind
of a truce between the belleeent parties.
But, up to this day, there have been no signs
of concessop on the part Of the Mail Steam
ship line, and it is SAID in some quarters that
the directors have at last come to a fiat
footed MOTTO reconsidered decision. that
they will entertain no further propositions
from the all-grasping Commodore. One Of
the Commodore's last propositions to the
Company, as aul told, is--that they shall
buy not only all the steamships which have
hitherto been run on the California route.
but also every boat, amounting to some ten
or a dozen, which he now holds in his hands
AS two CT three of these ships are totally
unfit, by reason of their enormous size and
costiness for the California business. your
readers will perceive at once that Mr.. Van
derhult has been trying to drive pretty
hard bargain with the other sde-a bargain
which he has been hoping to consummate
oy holding IN te,Yoren, over the fears of the
bther side, his threat OF permanent oppo.
sition line.
But tits an i'll fight which brings nobody
good" as the doctors in the Bloody Sixth
are wont to say while dressing the wounds
of the combatants in the many sangunarv
battles in that somewhat noted neichbor-
hood. And so Of this fight of the Commo-
dores. However much one NAV feel dispos.
ed to condemn Vanderbilt for the all grasp
ing disposition he has all along manifested
in these negotiations, it is undenable that
his failure to coerce the other parties to an
acceptance of his one-sided propositions will
eventuate in great good to the public, and
especially to all who are interested in having
cheap channels of communication open be-
tween our Atlantic ports and our possessions
on the Pacific. This view of the matter be-
comes especially interesting just now in view
of the disastrous failure of the Hargous
Brothers, involving, as that failure probably
will for time, the stoppage of the Tehuan-
tepec route, or at least produce great ire.

American Nominations.

The American County Convention met in
this place on Tuesday, and put in nomination
a County ticket. The members of the Con-
ven ton concluded not to nominate State
ticket, leaving it optional with the party to
support such candidates for State officers as
individuals might choose. The gentlemen
nominated are T. p. Slade, of Dutch Flat,
for Senator This gentleman was nominated
on the Broderick ticket for the Assembly,
but declined the questionable honor. Capt.
Monroe, residing near Forest Hill, S. M. jam
ison, Of Yankee Jim, S. E. Barret, of Auburn,
and d. B. Goode, of Coon Creek, are the
nominees for the Assembly. These are all
excellent gentlemen; it is a pity they should
be sacrificed by their political friends, as they
are bound to be overwhelmed by the Nation
al Democracy. 1t may be satisfactory, how
ever, to the Americans, to know that they
will lead the Brods and Republicans in the
contest. That will be some satisfaction.

Speech of Senator Gwin.

Upon the outside of to days Herald will
be found the speech Of Senator Gwn de-

the l lth inst. 1t will be found full and
digniied reply to the charges made by Brod-
erck at Placervile, and an able review of
the Kansas question, as we'll as other matters
pertaining 10 California interests. The
speech should be extensively read, and
doubtless will be by the people of the State.
There not being reporter present at
Grrss Valley, on the evening Of the speech,
Dr. Gwin remained over at Auburn on the
following day, wrote out his remarks and
they were first put in type in this office, and
copies sent to the different newspapers in the
State.
The Sacramento Union published the
speech yesterday and processes to have ex-
perienced some doubts as to its authencity
upon its first reception, and regrets not being
apprised Of the time, AS it would have had
short hand reporter present. We will
state that before the speech was delivered,
the Nevada correspondent of the Union
was introduced to DR.. Gwn, and at the time
informed him of the intended speech, and
was requested to report it. The correspon-
dent, however, excused himself for the reas.
on that he was not familiar with shorthand
reporting.
DR.. Gwin will speak at Forest Hill this
evening, and as the Union has been apprised
of the fact in tme by telegraph, it is pre-
sumed that that newspaper will have a re-
porter present.

New Work Election,

The latest returns warrant the announcement
of the election of the entire Republican ticket
in the state of New York. This is a glorious
triumph more especially, because it dem on
strates that the Republicans of that State, are
able to carry the election on their own distin c
ground, without the help of any other party
The Know NOthings of New York by adopting
one half of the Democratic State ticket this fall
came very near electing it. 1t is quite probable
that the balance of the Know-nothing organiza-
jon will go over to the Democracy next year
the proclivities of the leaders are certainly in
that direction. But they cannot save the De-
mocracy from defeat, as the event of the pres
ent election has abundantly shown. Let it now
be set down as a fixed fact, that the Republi-
cans of New York can triumph over Nnow moth
ingism and the Democracy combined.
