LAMARrGNE's DEBrs.-The subscription
started in France to raise sufficient to lqui-
date the debts of Lamartine has proved a
failure, it having produced only about one
hundred and sixty thousand francs to pay
more than two and half millions. At a
subsequent meeting of his creditors he stated
that he had in the course of eighteen months,
settled claims to the amount of one million
two hundred thousand francs from the pro-
duce of his literary labors, and promised to
pay three hundred thousand more in Janua-
ry and February. He therefore begged for
and obtained time to settle the claims of all
promising to do so by economy and literary

Another anniversary Of the birth of the
immortal Washington, is usherod in with the
ligh: of this days sun. We can never tire of
recurring to the glory and the grandeur OF
this great man. Like the sublimity Of the
sea. which the more we live by its shore the
more we love its never,ceasing but ever glo.
rious music, the name and fame of Washing
ton can never be o cold and uninspiring
theme Still shall the generations of men,
as Time grows old. come up to the shrine of
his memory and lay their offerings there.
Veil may they seek such holy ground, for
in ell the blended attributes of moral and in
telleetual grandeur, no man in all the record
ed centuries has ever equaled our own re-
vered, beloved Washington. As the truth OF
history dispels the fogs Of Misrepresentation
and jealousy and envy, his great character
shines forth brighter and brighter, and the
united world is ready to do him homage.
Nothing can we add to the praises which
have clustered around his mighty name. AL
that the tongue of the orator, or the pen sfths
poet. or the chisel Of the sculptor or the pen
ell of the painter could do to perpetuate his
image and his deeds, has been done. Yes,
like him who stands in the august presence
of Mont Blame. we must say, with the
thousands who have been there before US,
chow beautiful. how grandt"
In these days of decaying public virtue,
ms compared with the purer days Of the Re
public, how DO we love to turn to the I'M
sulled greatness of him who was his
Country's Father. AS we look in on the
Congress of the Nation, aAd behold the
wranglings Of the contestants for place and
power, the chickering's of narrow sectioDalists
and fanatics, the tsaitOrous rawlings Of hollow
demagogues who talk about partitioning the
| Union with the same spirit that the enc
mics of Christ cast lots for bis garments
how mean and how pitiful do they appear
beside the colossal grandeur of this great
"hero, patriot and sage"
| Few, few are the men In the world or the
worlds history, who have been both
great and good. But such a man was Wash
ington. In that the more rare is such great
ness the more should we value our peerles:
Washington Says Cotton: ain life We
shall find many men that are great, and some
men that are good, but very few men that
are both great and good" "If the title OF
great men," says Sparks, fought to be re-
served for him who cannot be Charged with
an indiscretion or vice, who spent his life
in establishing the independence, the glory
and durable prosperity of his country; who
succeeded in all that he undertook. and
whose success were never woh at the expense
pense Of honorjustiee, integrity, or by the sac
rifee of a single principle-this title will lot
be denied to Washington" On the contrary
We may add, it win be accorded, through all
time, by the universal earth.

EDrToR DEMOCRAT In your issue OF Sun
day morning, Feb. 5th, appeared an article,
based upon story fabricated by one Mich.
ael Maher, which does myself and brother
great injustice. The facts of our business re-
lations with Maher are these:
met Maher as l was coming up the Sac
ramento river. lie made my acquaintan ,e,
and told me he wanted to buy some cattle,
advised him to buy sheep. but he said he
preferred young cattle as he feared the cold
weather would kill the lambs He went
with me to my ranch, in Colusi county, and
there purchased horse Of u.s. for which he
paid us thirty dollars. Soon after his making
this purchase land this was the only one he
made of us,) and while myself and brother
were inside the house. Maher mounted his
horse and rode him away. taking with him a
saddle and bride belonging TO me. We dis
covered him going, and my brother pursued
and overlook him, and recovered the said
saddle and bride
These are briefly and simply the facts in
the case Believing Maher not to be in his
right mind, can excuse his telling so feti-
tious tale about me and my brother but
for fear our regulations may suffer if we fail
to make denial Of the story. l offer you
this statement, which l hope you will do me
the justice to publish. l can give you the
best of references as to my good character
and standing among my friends and neigh
bors and in the community.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB. 22d.

1uE FIRE-It was with the utmost difheul-
~. and at the expense of almost suPerhuman
exertions by our gallant firenen, that the
coufagraton of Tuesday morning did not
consume almost the entire block between
Third and Fourth and D and E. Had it ever
reached the corner of Third and D, with the
strong wind which was blowing. it would
have caught across Third street and extended
fearfully.
The loss by the fire is the residence OF MI
Ksrns the building occupied as a millinery
establishment by Mrs. Hartshorn, and the
building occupied by Mr.. Taylor as cloth
ing store and by Eckert 4 Johson as a livery
stable. Everything in the house of Mr.. Kerns
was consumed. He saved nothing Mrs.
Hartshorn managed to save, we believe, about
three fourths of her goods, which was lucky
Mr.. Taylor saved scarcely anything. hessrs.
Eckert l. johnson turned their horses loose,
at the approach of the fire. and they scattered
in every direction Whether they will oil
be recovered, it is difficult to say. They
were fortunate enough to rescue their car
riages from the flames with but little damage
Their saddles. however and harness were al
most totally destroyed. They sustained also
other losses, which, counted with those emu
merated, make an aggregate of not less than
$4,000. The loss in the damage of the build
ing to the owner-Mr. McDermott-is about
$4,000. The walls are of brick and are left
standing The millinery establishment of
Mrs Healey was in danger, but escaped
However, she sustained some four hundred
dollars loss in the breakage attendant on re-
moving articles TO a place of safety. under
the apprehension that the establishment
would take fire.
One of the incidents Of the fire was the
generous attention Of Mr.. Kernes to the near
" exhausted fremen. Notwithstanding his
whole house had been consumed and every
thing in it, he so well appreciated the ar1or
of their labors tnat he came forth, from time
to time, with invigorating refreshments from
his saloon on the other side of the street, and
made them all partake freely. The firemen
assure us that it did not come in bad time,
either.
1t is said by some that the Mexican. whose
leg was broke at the fire by the falling of a
show case which was being removed into the
street, was thief We hope, for humanity's
sake, it is not So 1t is bad enough to be q
thief, without having leg broke into the
bargain.

The Washington States says that recently,
in one of the banks in Wall street. New

sum from the bank, and was counting the
bills in front of the paying teller's desk, when
q person suddenly touched him on the shout
der. exelaiming, "My young man, your coat
skirt is on fire." when the young man
dropped his bills to look after the burning
garment. The accOsting gentleman seized
the money and made speedy exit.

CoLb-Ihe sudden change from pleasant
to cold weather was severely felt. in thi.

Some said it was fine weather for bracing the
constitution, but we felt more like em-brac-
ing something, say "a bride of ire"-or hot
stove. The ladies, God bless 'em were out
in the early part of the day, but were soon
driven indoors byi the impudent winds
which kissed them somewhat too rudely.
Happy winds, though impudentl
It was amusing to see the doleful efforts Of
the Mexicans to keep up their carnival in the
gusty streets Like Doesticks' idea of Cricket
it was "funereAl fun" Still they trod on
four-y paths
This kind of windy weather generally lasts
for three days. We hope the present period
may be an exception.
