NUMBER Al.
Denver for the Presidency.

We were not little surprised aye, asounded,
an article of more than II column, on the proba-
bic result of the deliberations Of the Charleston
Convention, the editor comes to the ultimate
conclusion that GEN. JAMES W. DENVER will, un-
der certain circumstances, be fit and formidable
man before that Convention. The Courier believes
Douglas will be backed in Convention by most OF
the northern and north western delegations, and
also that a stubborn opposition, with the aid OF
the two-third rule, may defeat his nomination.
Then it argues, and we'll, too, tha. new person
must be chosen, has been the result in two for
mer National Nominating Conventions, and
writing as a Californian" urges GEN. DENVER
as an unexceptionable compromise candidate, and
shows that both President Buchanan and Stephen
A. Douglas are warm friends of the Californian
DENVER. The article concludes in the follow
ing language:
The possession of the friendship of both the
Administration and Douglas is not the only cle-
ment of his fitness for the position of II c0mpro-
misc candidate. Born in the South, raised in
Ohio, and having resided in Missouri and Cali
fornia for years, he is probably rs free from all
sectional prejudiccs any living man. IL is
literally trnc of him that he knows no north, no
south, no east, no west. AS Governor Of Kansas
he not only secured the friendship of the south
ern men, but conciliatcd the esteem aud won the
confidence of northern men of every political
complexion. And when he left the Territory,
dinner was given in his honor which was atten-
ded by the leading men of every party. Even
The rabid abolition editors were in attendance,
doing honor to the man who was found competent
to the Ilerculean task of restoring peace to Kan
sas 1t was in this field that GEN. DENVER proved
himself the very impersonation of u National
man. and evinccd those wonderful administrative
abilities which, upon broader field. would vim
dicatc our opinion of his fitness for President Of
these United States"
To have heard GES. DENvER's claims urged as
proper person to grace a seat Of the United
States Senate. we should not have been surprised.
Indeed, we believe great portion of the people
not the democracy, alono-of northern Cali
lornia would be proud at that honor to one of
miniatraton 4? i?q who was heaored by tho Adj
for the emergency to settle the Kansas imbroglio.
But to hear his name mentioned in intimate con-
ncction with the seat Of the Chief Executive of
this great nation, we repeat, startles us. Stran-
ger things have come to pass, and we shall await
the assembling Of the Democratic Presidential
nominators, in June next, with interest. Citizens
Of little, remote, obscure Trinity, are asked to
reflect on the probability Of furnishing a Presi-

TIE HEsPERtAN.-A Always we'll made up, but
this month rcpete in choice California literature,
the Hesperian for November is heartily welcomed.
1t contains portrait of Robert Duncan, one of
the first California settlers. While speaking of
the Hesperian, we are reminded Of a high compli-
ment paid the magazine and its worthy editress
by u mischevous little body of the calico gender
who yet looks to "pa," for pin-money, and lives
away off in the remote lumber region of Sullivan
county, New York. A California friend, Of the
other sex, sends her the Heperiaa, and the friend
mentioned not long ago had letter from her,
which after acknowledging the receipt of the
magazine, of which she spoke in high praise as
an honor to the literature of California, closed
with the following-"P S.-IIemlock lumber
has riz" How true that there il but q step
from the sublime to the ridiculous.

ONLY A HUNDRED THOUSAND OF the induce
ments to emgrate to California, Horace Greeley
concludes
California has great need of virtuous, educa-
ted, energetic women One hundred thousand
more Of these would find homes and be useful
here. House servants command $50 to $50 per
month-capable female workers in other capaci-
ties are paid in proportion For resolute, ca
pable young woman, who has a married sister or
trusted friend here, and who is not detained else
where by strong natural ties, believe there is
no better country than this.

THE DEBT OF S1sKIYou.-The funded debt of
that county amounts to the enormous sum Of
Sl35 900, payable in ten years, with an annual
interest of 10 per cent. The Yreka Union urges
the adoption of some plan to reduce the amount,
showing that with exception Of the School. there
is not a Fund in the county free from debt, and
that money had to be ordered from the General
Fund to pay the interest due last January. a
like order will be necessary at the commencement
Of the coming year, and unless immediate steps
are taken to prevent it, the county must become
hopelessly indebted.

Faith, HIope and Prayer.
BY MRS. +. II. DAY.

Pearls sleep within the ocean,
Bright gems beneath the sea,
While the waters know no MOTION
They are hid from me and thee.
When storms sweep DER the ocean,
And waves in fury roar
BY the wild and fearful motion,
Gems are strewn upon the shore.
The human hearts an ocean,
Beneath whose depths profound
Richest gems Of love and feeling
In vast numbers do abound.
But storms Of grief and sorrow
Must stir the fountains there,
Ere the heart yield up its jewels

SHARP, NERY.-An eastern exchange says u

5000, which he entrusted to an Abolition lecturer

PARADE OF THE CITY GUARDS YEsTER-
DAY.-The first Of September was grand day
for the parade Of the City Guards it was the
commencement of the glorious Fall days. The
Guards made their appearance at about P. M,
under the command of their valued and popu-
lar officer, Capt. Geo. H. Ward. They turned
out forty two guns, and following the music of
Fiske's Band, they marched down Main street,
through Summer to the Common, where they
went through the Hardee drill in excellent
style. They then marched to the house of
Major e. b. Stoddard, where they did Justice
to an ample collation.. After marching through
the principal streets in that part of the city,
they again appeared on Main street, marching
in two sections, and having their sabre bayo.
nets affixed to their guns The line was pre-
served excellently well, and they couldn't
help creating a sensation as they marched up
the street to the spirited music of Fiske's
Band. They finished with dress parade in
good style, in front of their armory.
The new uniform of the Guards is much
admired. 1t consists of black pants with a
white cord running down the leg dark green
dress coats having three rows of gilt buttons
on which are stamped the State arms and the
initials G. g., and the date 1910, the collar and
cuff are heavily embroidered with gold lace,
and the skirts are tipped with what appears to
be light bnff; brass scales were worn instead
of epaulettes, and the army cap with dark
green pompon. Their arms were the improved
rifle with sabre bayonet.
The Band also had a new uniform, resem-
bling that of the Guards and they looked
well and played better. If we occasionally
distinguished on "extra touch" on the part of
the leader, our eyes were involuntarily fasten-
ed on the sword and sash.
