The CONTESTED ELECTION CAsr.-

HB CONf ESI Ed ELEC1lON @OASE
DR.. Chas. Duncombe, regularly elect
ed Assemblyman from Sacramento
county, has been oustel from his seat
by the majority party in the Assembly.
The chief fugleman in the high-handed
proceeding is one Geo. A. Young. who
is set down on the homographic chart
from Nevada County. The same indi-
vidual took a star character in the still
worse proceeding of refusing to the
minority the right to enter their protest
upon the Journals.
This Individual we have no desire to
illuminate. He best illustrates the
truth of the proverb "The more exalt-
ed the position of Simia, the palmer will
he show his caudal appendage.' More
than year ago, he was elected by his
party in this county to the Assembly.
In the nominating convention, one of
the first legal minds in the State oppos-
ed his nomination on the ground that
he was not a citizen of the county but
If Sacramento. Certain it was he had
no residence here. His business and
residence had been long previous to the
election in Sacramento. When naming
the aspirants for the Legislature months
previous to the election, we gave the
name of Mr.. Young "of Sacramento" in
the list. Qualified men of his own par
ty pronoun ced and atill believe that he
was not entitled to represent Nevada in
the Legislature. His only claim to the
office was in his having interets in this
county, to which he gave no personal
perintendence.
Nor is his seat in the present Assem-
bly, held by any good rule of right. lie
came among US during the last summer
with his luggage, it was said for no 9TH
er purpose than to run for the Legisla-
ture. Such was the common talk on the
street, by all who knew the individual
best. The family of the illustrous rep
resentative only came to Nevada last
fall in time to "take the curse off,"
1t would be strange if a man of sense
living in glass houses should commence
throwing stones. Something must be
the matter Of Mr.. Young's upper story
his forwardness in this contested elec.
ton case cannot be otherwise explained.
Perhaps, however, the individual is
religiously in favor of scourging heretics
as well in politics as elsewhere. Such
may be the case He un:tes then the quail
ties of good Catholic with a good
Democrat. The highest virtues the lat
ter can possess is Intolerance and pro-
scription Tor opinions sake, while the
reigning principle of the old church was
condemnation of herelcs Is Mr.. Young
Jesuit! The cardinal doctrine of that
order is reputed to be the lend justices
the means" The presumption of the
fellow to talk about having the .'pow
err and the obligation to fuse" it
smacks strongly Of Jesuitism.

MAN BURNED TO DEATH.-A cabin on
Osborne Hill, near Grass Valley, was
found to be on fire at about o'clock on
Wednesday morning, by the occupants
of other cabins in the neighborhood.--
They were awakened by the roaring
of the flames. They made an attempt
to open the door of the burning cabin,
but finding it impossible they rolled off
some of the top logs and snatched from
bunk the half-burned remains of the
occupant Of the cabin, Mr.. Chas. Reed,
formerly from ST. Johns. New Found
land. The head was nearl,- consumed.
II is supposed Reed went to bed leaving
fire burning which caught in the logs
of the cabin. Reed was on board the
ill-fated Central America at the time of
her disaster, and was one of those saved
by the Norwegian bark. He leaves a
wife and child in New York.
We learned IL above facts from Cor
oner Bailey, who held an inquest on
the body of Reed on Wednesday.

REVEREND WAR.-We notice an in

Warren, formerly of this city, and Rev.
DR.. Scott, of San Francisco. The ORR

question whether the Pacific is the organ
of the Presbyterian church. AS Brother
Warren gives the Doctor pretty soggy

hear of a challenge to mortal combat.

Some two years since certain landed
property on the corner of Commercial
and Pine streets in this city was mort
gagged by j. c. Abbott to Ed. Kelsey
for large amount. Last year the prop
erty was advertised for taxes in the
Sheriff's delinquent list and sold. Alb
bott bid the property in forJ. G.. Clark
of San francisco. The case was
brought to attest the validity of the ta x
title. The decision of Judge Searls is
that the tax title does not intervene to
the detriment of the mortgage.

Flat, was called to preside, who entered
upon the duties assigned him after a
very appropriate speech.
VIM. Montgomery, of Pleasant Flat,
being called for, arose and delivered the
address, very neat and appropriate
one for the occasion. Toasts next came
in order, followed by singing by Mrs.
Downey, who really has few superiors
The air was Scotch, as also the words.
Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Ross, and other la
dies sang most exquisitel y few appro-
pirate songs. Toasts followed and
singing by Mckay, Montgomery, and
other gentlemen after which the table
was cleared and the dance began to the
music of violins. The dance was kept
up till late hour in the morning.

A meeting wac held at the Broadway Bank on
Saturday, to adopt suitable measures for tribute
of respect in memory of the late Horace Mann Pres
dent OF Antioch College.
Mr. RICHARD WARREN, President of the Board OF
Education was called to the chair, and briefly stated
the object of the meeting, paying tribute TO the
memory Of the deceased, whom lie had known for q
number Of years.
TIfRev. A A. L1vERmoRE eIplsined that the meeting

monument to him would be to circulate his writings on
education.
Mr. MARCUS SPRING, the Secretary Of the meeting
cordially reciprocated the sentiments Of Mr. Liver
more The loss Of Mr.. Mann a national loss. II
was the old story: appreciated our prophets
till they have passed from us, and Mr. Mann had been
allowed to die from want of support. He thought II his
writir gs were made better known, his example would
be highly beneficial.
A Committee, consisting Of the Rev. A. A. Liver
more, Samuel Leeds jr. and L. Wilcox, was then ap-
pointed to draw up resolutions. The Committee with
drew and their return they reported resolutions re-
GREETING his decease and that in his theory OF human
culture as developed in his invaluable essays reports
snd addresses, and his practical execution and fullh.
ment Of that theory in his six years Presidency OF
Antioch College, he has laid the whole country under
lasting obligations TO his eminent ability and deep
wisdom.
Il; was ordered that Committee Of three be ap-
pointed TO make arrangements for a publc meeting iB
honor Of Mr. ann AID that the said COMMITTEES shall
select one TO deliver an address on his life and

The Stock Market was steady in the opening sales
of the day but lacked its usus support from the bull
interest rather to the surprise OF mi Jrity of the

market gave way the seeond call, and closed a
little heavy at the quotations al the Board.
The operators for the rise have large interest at
stake, that il viii Dot be surprising to see another
rally after the present reaction has speDt tie strength
but prices have advanced too rapidly for sheslthy aud
