Ball at CardineiIs Theater.

On last Monday evening, in obedience
to invit.tions issued by the friends of
Mrs. McGinnis, large number Of
ladies and gentlemen cohgregaset at
Cardinell's Theater for the purpose of
endowment TO themselves and to show
forth their appreciation for the above
named lady in d substantial manner.
at about 9 o'clock some eighty couple
were assembled and dancing commehccd,
every one seemed to enjoy themselves,
and trippcd gaily on the light fantastic
toe to tho melody of as sweet sounds as
it has been our pleasure to hear for some
time, until about IL o. clock when supper
was announced and such supper-one
thing we will venture to say. its equal
has not been prepared in Columbia for
sometime. Everything that soul could
wish for was there Id abundance
and the guests did ample justice to the
sumptuous viands thus spread before
them. A little after l o'clock the Com.
pany returned to the ballroom and dan.
cling was again resumed in good earnest
and kept up until the rising of the sun
warned them that it was time to 90 home.
Taken all in all it was as pleasant a
party as has assembled in Columbia for
some time. The display Of youth and
beauty has rarely been equalled in any
part OF our county, aud the ladies gen.
orally were dressed in exquisite taste
and without any effort at display. We
are tempted to particularise but all
looked SO handsome, blithe aud gay that
We dare not.

Brcdcrsek at Yrekn,.

Calvin 3 Mcdonald, editor Of the
Yreka Union, and gentleman whose
word no man will doubt, thus expresses
himself in relation to '' the brave young
Senator'S y ''speech ct Yrcka.
"If Broderick $ speech here appears
in Sacramento paper, either grammatical
or respectable, ii is a f1rgery By the re-
porter, who shotld be arrested for OBJ
tanning money by fraudulently doceiving
the people; no intelligent citizen of Yreka
will readily assert that his speech rose
above the dignity OF district school

peat this; we hazard our reputation for
judem mt and vcracity on the assertion {;
The man IS of in'fy1or mind and a chm

This language of Mr.. hcDonalds
will apply equally we'll to lsrodarick s
speech in Columbia on last Saturday

him on that occasion cannot blt coincide

We have received from this gentleman
a complete budget Of late eastern publi-

thanks. Jerry has the largest assort-
ment Of periodical literature of any
other agency on the Pacific Coast, and
we are happy to hear that he is success

Such energy as he displays deserves en-
couragement, and We hope those Of our

for anything in his line, will not forget
to give him a call.

VnllecltO Burned.

Our neighboriDg town Of Va'lecito was
totally destroyed by fire on Friday at
about FIVE o 'c.ock 10 the afternoon, and
originated in the following manner. It
seems that Frencbman who keeps a
grocery store, was drawing brandy out
of a cask in the back part Of the store,
when a candle which he held in his
hand ignited the liquor. The conse-
ouence was that the flames ran into
the cask and an explosion ensued. A
portion of the cask struck the merchant
on the head. and it is supposed killed
him instantly. All efforts to distinguish
the flames were of no avail, aud the
consequence was that the town was re-
duced to ashes in very short time
Thus has another of our mountain towns
gone up into smoke, and some of the
inhabitants were left pennifess, to again
dig and delve for another fortune.
Such is the fate IF many Caliiornians,
but the people Of Vallecito, are not
thus to be discouraged. We are happy
to learn that it is their Intention TO again
rebuild, and in few weeks their litt g
town will be as good as hew. Success
to them.

4 Hint to the state Central Committee

4 Hint to the State Centenl Committee
IF there is any county in our State,
where the result Il Democratic victory
is at all uncertain, we would advise the
State Central Committee to defray
David G. Broderick's expenses to such
county. Our word for it. such an ex-
hibition as he made of himself in Co.
lumbia, on Saturday evening last, would
place the matter beyond doubt, and
gain more votes for Milton 8. Latham
and the Democratic ticket, than any.
thing else they possibly could do.
David C. Broderiek stood higher in the
estimation Of the people Of Tuolumne
county one week ago than he does to-
day. His coming here has gained at
least two hundred more votes for the
Democratic party than they otherwise
would have had. 60 on David-yon
are engaged in a good and glorious work.
You and John White have done more
elevate Hon. Milton s. Latham to
the Governorship of this State than all
the Democratic speeches during this
campaign. Your abuse of him rests
upon your own heads, and the people
desrise you for it.

refused to be colnforted except by a
speech from that gentleman:
Mr.. #. P. Barber, of Sonora, now
mounted the stand, and was greeted by
unnumbered Democratic cheers, which
showed conclusively to his enemies that
Fl P. Barbefs' name yet lives in the
hearts Of the Democracy of Old Tdo-
lumne. He spoke about one hour in
MS usual eloquent and argumentative
style and with happy effect. At the
conclusion Of his remarks an invitation
was given to the opposition to reply,
when Mr. Hunter, of Sonora, mounted
the stand, but owing to prejudice ex-
isting against that gentleman he was not
allowed to speak until the crowd had dis
persed, finally the Fifty or sixty persons

Democrats of Tuolumne Co.,


Remember that hon. MILTON S.
LATHAM, speaks in COLUMBIA,
to morrow evening, Friday, August
18th. Give him such a reception as
will be worthy the banner county Of the
State. Show him that the vile and in
famons charges Of Broderuk, WHIT 4.

follow in their trail, have only increased
your confidence in his integrity and hon.
esty. aud your attachment for him, both
ss your nominee for tho Office of Gov
crnor Of this our Golden State, and as a
gentleman 10 whom you believe there is
no guile. Turn out with banners, with
music, and let the wclkIn ring with the
firing Of cannon and shouts Of JOY at his
arrival in Old Tuolunnc. Let the
mountains speak TO the sea in thunder
tones, which cannot be misunderstood,

know that although the basest and vilest
libels and Infamous lies and SANDERS
against Hon. Milton S. Latham we're
fabricated, and first saw the light Of
day, on Sansome street, in that de.
lsctable city, the men o. the mountains
hurl them back with a defiant shout to
react with ten fold more force on the
vipers who first originated them. BY
doing so you will not only bo dyiug an
honor TO yourselves, an honor to your
,,lnty, but you will be honoring a
gentleman, than whom NO one in our
State deserves more honor than be.

A FNlsehOOO Nailed.

The following item taken from the
Gan Francisco Ne,0s, {edited by John
White, the organ of David C. Brod-
erick, shows what dependence can be
placed in the statements Of that paper
"MR. BRoDERfcx AT CoLUMBr'.
Mr. Broderick's reception at Colum-
bia was most enthusiastic. He was met
at Gold Hill by large delegation Of
citizens. The procession marched into
Columbia headed by the brass band and
amid the firing Of cannon. Great en-
thusiasm prevailed"
The San Francisco Ne,5s has been
manufacturing magnificent receptions
for Mr.. Broderick, ih every place where
he has appeared throughout our State,
and we appeal to the people Of Tuoumne
county, whether the above statement in
relation to the Columbia reception is cor
rect or not. To iEose who were not in
Columbia on Saturday evening last, We
would state that the article in our paper
this week healed g Tie Brode7tct Re
ceje son. y is correct in every particular.
DuL.. AND BEAR ficHrs.-This
species of amusement seems now to
be all the rage at San Francisco, and the
papers cf that city are daily giving long
articles On this barbarous amusement.
Now does it ever Occur to them that III
doing so they are only advertising gratis
They tell you where the fight came oft;
when tie next Cue is coming off and in
fact everything appertsining to it, and
then be2ail the want of law to check
such things. We think if they said
nothing about them it would be Better
and let the thing die oft Of ITSELF The
tendency of their articles at this time,
when there is no law TO check such ex-
hibitiors, is to give publicity to thera,
and save the proprietors the trouble OF
advertising.
