A COOP THING.--1he Sacramento Stand
ard, on Monday last, pretty clearly defined
its position in reference to Presidential
nominee of the Democracy-an declared
that he must be but upon a platform that
recognized the just rights of all sections of
the Union, before it should give him support.
1t was rot the man, but the principles that
were important to the Standard and for this
the Sacramento Union, and the Bulletin and
Times, of San Francisco, there beautiful (?)
Black Republican exponents of Democracy,
have read the STANDARD out the party-call-
ing It a bolter, etc, This is pretty good we
take it-about the best joke of the season.
We have leen enjoying it all week; and
there is fun enough in the idea to last for
some time longer.
The presumption Of these selfappointed
censois, in attempting to teach the Demo
cratic press of California its duty, only ex-
cites ridicule and contempt. The Democra
cv of the State ae well able to attend to
their own affairs without instruction from
that quarter.

RARE OCCURRENCE IN THIS STATE.-The
Sonora Democrat has the following:
The house of the Rev. Dr. Hendrcson, in
this city, was struck by lightning yesterday
afternoon. The fluid passed down the stove
pipe, tore up the zinc underneath the stove,
and passed off without inflicting any serious
damage. Two Of the Doctors children,
who were playing at the time near the stove,
were knocked down, but in nowise injured

Town ORDINANCEs.-In another column
will be found two ordinances passed by
the Board of Town Trustees-one for the
better protection of the town against fire.
and the other for tax upon dogs.
We hope the authorities will insist upon
a rigid enforcement of the stove pipe ordi
nance; as there are always some persons ex-
ceedingy careless in the arrangement OF
their stove pipes-and from criminal negli-
gence in this particular the town has twice
been devastated by fire. In compactly
built town like Auburn, with so many frame
buildings without chimnevs, too much pre-
caution cannot be exercised. One negligent
person can set at naught the care of fifty
prudent men, and hence the necessity for
exacting strict compliance to any fire ordin-
ance. Owners of stove pipes will observe
the necessity OF making the required i'm
provements by the 18th of June.
The dog ordinance" will prove of interest
10 all those whose taste has led them to ac-
quire this kind of property Gf our recollec-
tion correct, the late Legislature passed an
Act recognizing CANNES as property), and
they have no time to lose in "torking over
three dollars and procuring copper medals
for Tray, Ponto, Rover, and other gentee
dogs, OF else the batteries of the Marshal
and all others who wish to make game of
the brutes will be opened upon them. 1t
would be satisfaction to learn, however, that
tags were not purchased for more than half
the dogs in the place.

THEATRE.-Severa enterprisng citizens of
Auburn have it in contemplation to erect a
Theatre upon the st building adjoining
the Odd Fellows Ha SO far their nego-
tiations have been favorable, and we have
the hope the town will soon be able TO boast
good hall for public exhibitions. 1t is not
credtable to Auburn, a town that possesses
so many good buildings, that it should have
so long remained without IA Theatrical hall,
while half dozen other towns in the county
have provided good "nes. The result of this
has been, that generally the best travelling
Theatrical companies have avoided the
place.

The proceedings of the Charleston Conven

lated to pour oil on the troubled waters, but
there is vet time for better counsels to pre-
vail. If. when the Convention re-convenes,
the Tennessee resolution be taken as the bass
of platform, all may yet be well. This res
olutiou recognizes the Just rights of the people
of the South, will be acceptable to them, and
should be to the Northern Democracy. The
minority platform never will be acceptablr
TO the Democracy of the whole Union, and
