TREAs0N.-Three of the great political
parties in their anxiety to secure the vote
of TIE Spanish population, nominated as
candidates for electors, three native Cali
fornians, popular with their eountrymen.
The Californians appreciate thecompliment,
and we hear it rumored, though we do not
vouch for the accuracy of the report, that
in some sections of Southern California
they mediate fusion aud intend to give
their suffrages for their own countrymen.
II the contest should be close, it might pos
sibly be left to them to settle the whole af-
fair for the nation.-[Santa Cruz Sentinel.

EUROPEAN NEws.-The last Pony Express
brings dates from Europe to September
10th. Nothing of startling interest had oc-
CURED in Italy. The French Ambassador
at Turin had been recalled as an expression
Of disapprobation of the course of Sardinia.
The expelled King of Naples had gone to
Spain. Naples was quiet and the forts had
all surrendered. Garbaldi had transferred
the Neapolitan fleet to Sardinia, and it was
said that he would soon proclaim the an
nexation Of Naples and Piedmont. The
French forces at Rome are to be increased
two regiments, from which it may be infer
red that France has determined that the
city should be retained under the govern
ment of the Pope. The great powers of
Europe have taken no steps, as far as is
known, to interfere in the affairs of Italy,
and from present appearances the Italians
will be permitted to unite themselves into
one government under Victor Emanuel
This has long been the project of the patri-
OF GaribOldi, and should his plans be car
ried out Italy will rank among the first
powers of Europe.

JoHN NuGENT.-The Sacramento Bee, IN
referring to the speeches of John Nugent,
says:
He tells 10 bis speeches everywhere, as
we are told, that Mr.. Douglas wrote to him,
Nuqent. in 1858. or 1859, saying that nc
had NO sympathy with the Broderlck men
in this State; or with the position that he
then had assumed? He stated this at
Nevada. at Timbuctoo, and on every, or
nearly every stump from which lie has spo-
ken.
Nugent made no such statement at Ne
vada. What he did say was this: That
while he was in Washington in the spring
of 1859. he had conversation with Judge
Douglas about California politics; that dur
ing that conversation Douglas told him
that he (Douglas) should not follow Mr..
Broderick out of the Democratic party, but
would fight inside of the organization, as
he had done in Illinois. This is the sub
stance of what Nugent said at Nevada,
though not his exact words. He said moth
ing which could be regarded as offensive by
the friends of Senator Broderick. Douglas
never pretended to decide which was the
regular Democratic organization in Cali
fornia; it was not his place. to Interfere In
the politics of this State, nor could any one
have reasonably expected that be would.

The FusIon In Oregon.

The Breckenridge and Lincoln papers
have raised terrible howl against the
Douolas Democrats, ON account Of the cleo
tion Of Baker to the U. S. Senate by the
Legislature of Oregon. 1t is charged that
several Douglas Democrats voted for Baker
in preference to DelazOn Smith-belng
compelled to choose between the two-and
according to the Secession papers the "fouI
actv has induced thousands who had i'll
tended 10 vote for Douglas to come out for
Breckenridge, while the Republicans are
eertain that that same "foul act" will large
" increase the vote for Lincoln, by ac-
cessions from the Douglas ranks. The sec
tional parties, it will be seen, agree IN eV7
cry thing-even on the subject OF Baker 8
election-whicb, according to their organs,
was brought about by the treacbery of the
Douglas men, and yet the miserable Ke-
publican bypocrites have been firing can
non all over the State, rejoicing over the
result.
The facts in regard to the election Of the
Oregon Senators are simply these The
people Of that State had become disgusted
with such Senators as Joe Lane and Della
zon Smith, and at the last election inde-
pendent candidates were run for the Legis-
lature, pledged to vote against them. The
Lane and Republican parties also had can
dilates in the field, and the result was, that
of the fifty members Of the Legislature,
twenty-five independents were elected, the
balance being about equally divided be-
tween the Lane men and Republicans.
When the Legislature met, as neither party
had majority, some combination had TO
be formed, or the election would have gone
over for two years. Lane having been pro-
vided for, by being nominated on the Sc
cession ticket for Vice President, his fol-
lowers refused to compromise with the in
dependents, except ON condition that the
latter would vote for Smith. This they
could not do, as they had been elected ex-
pressly in opposition to the Lane dynasty.
Being compelled to choose between Smith
and Republican, ten or twelve Of the in
dependents voted for Baker as choice of
evils, in consideration of four or FIVE Re-
publican votes cast for Nesmith. The inde-
pendents did the best they could under the
circumstances, and we cannot see that the
transaction was in any wise dishonorable.
They had to choose between the best man
of one sectional party and the worst man of
the other, and as between the two they
made a wise choice. In the Senate, Col.
Baker will be classed with the Republicans;
but if that party should ever attempt to
carry out their sectional doctrine of exclu-
ding slavery from the Territories by Con-
gressional enactment, they will find in the
Oregon Senator an opponent of the mea-
sure.

WALKER SHOT-The British steamer Gla-
diator arrived at New Orleans Sept. 9th,
with the remnant of Walkers party. Wal
ker was shot on the 18th Of September, at
Truxillo, amid the cheers of the soldery.
Col. Rudler had been sentenced to four
years imprisonment. The dispatch to the
Union says that the natives took no part in
Walkers execution, and that his body was
decently buried by foreigners. Who the
foreigners we're that executed Walker is not
stated. He was taken prisoner by Bri-
tish man-of-war, and perhaps the British
officers took the responsibility of executing
him. Walker may have merited bis fate;
but it seems to us that the British officers in
arresting and putting him to death, not
only transcribed their duty, butviolated
the law of nations. On the 29Ih of Sep
tember, the commander Of the British
steamer Gladiator was assaulted and knock
ed down in the st. Charles Hotel. at New
Orleans. The particulars of this affair have
not beea received, but no doubt the diff
Guilty was occasioned by the part the Bri.
tssh oflieers took in the death of Walker.

Nor VERY ENcoURAGNG.-The. Republi.
can papers have made great blow over
the Maine election, but the knowing ones
who do the figuring regard it as very dis.
couraging. While the Republicans have
gained three per cent, the Democrats have
gained thirty-three per cent. A similar
gain throughout the other Northern States
would give Douglas o majority of the cleo
toral vote of that section.

SCARCITY OF BoLTERs.-Frank Washing
ton, Zach. Montgomery, and Vince Geiger adj
dressed the Boilers of this vicinity, at Excelsior
Hall, last Wednesday evening. Washington
led off with an audience Of about $50. When
he closed, many of the Douglas men withdrew
from the hall, leaving less than 100 men of all
parties for Zach. to make up faces at The
affair was most melancholy fzzle.. A COM
mon country school house would hold every
Breckinridger in the hall. The Boilers were
chop-fallen, and the Republicans, poor crea-
lures sighed most piteously, while their faces
grew long and eyes sufused with tears at the
mastery failure of their brother intervention-
lists. The rail-splitters see now, what they might
have known a long time ago, that the Boilers
of Shasta county are not numerous enough to
weaken seriously the Democratic party. Should
every Brecknridger in this county, in his eager
ness to beat Douglas, go over to the Republi-
cans and vote for Lincoln, still Douglas and
Non-intervention would beat the united Inter-
vention vote more than two hundred.-[ Shasta

tion Of the Pilgrim stock. He died at
Dorchester, Mass, of cid age, a few
days since. The Traveller says;
He was born on the 25th of Au-
gust, l77l, and was a son Of Noah
Clapp, who graduated at Harvard in
1875, and was for forty-one years town
clerk of Dorchester. His grandfath-
err Deacon Jonathan Clapp, was born
in 1878, and was the son Of Nathaniel
Clapp born in 1910. Nathaniel was
the son Of Nicholas Clapp, one Of the
first settlers in this ancient town.
Thus the recently deceased gentleman
was only the fourth generation from
the first settlers, and probably was the
asst person OF that generation Born

At the age of fifteen years and half

Gen. Lincoln for the suppression Of
Shay's Rebellion, and was the last
survivor of the Dorchester company.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT New BRIDGE. :

FATAL ACCIDENT AT New BRIDGE. -
The wife of Nicholas, Bros residing
at New Bridge, Bergen County, was
buried on Sunday, 18th ult., her death
being the result of injuries received
by accident a short time before. 1t
appears from the report that both
husband and wife were addicted to
drinking, and that they had obtained
a gallon of rum just before the acct
dent, which resulted so fatally. Being
intoxicated, the clothes of the woman
somehow or other caught fire from the
stove, where the children had been
kindling it with dry pine shayings.
As the flames were wrapping themsel-
yes around the unfortunate woman,
she flung herself upon the bed, on which
her husband, also partly intoxicated,
was rep sing. This arousing him from
his torpor, he carried the poor woman
out of the house as soon as possible,
extinguishing the FIRE by rolling her
through the snow. So great, how
ever, were her injuries, that after lin
gering some time in excruciating
misery. she expired, as above stated.

the bottle would do we'll to heed
