SHOOTING AFFAIR AT SAcRAMENTo.-Our
correspondent writing yesterday "wednesday
afternoon gives the appended particulars Of
the shooting affair that took place between
John G. Bell and w. FL. Stone, both members
of Assembly from Ell Dorado county:
8 While the bill to allow claims of J. M. War
ner was under consideration this afternoon, the
report of a pistolshot was heard in the hall of
the Capitol, occasioning indie -cribable confusion.
The Senate Immediately adjourned. Mr.. Bell
and DIR. Stone, Representatives from Ell Do
RADIO county, it appears, had an alteration in
the room of thes erseant-at-arms. High words
were used in relation to the bill for the crea.
ton of the new Co. of Marshall out of portions
of Ell Dorado. It is impossible to give the ex-
act facts, for numerous reports of an entirely
conflicting character are in circulation. Some
persons say that DR.. Stone gave Mr.. Bell the
lie, and that the latter then struck DR.. Stone.
pressing him against the wall, when the latter
drew a revolver and fred, the ball taking eff
feet in the right side CT the abdomen. DIR
Stone then drew a knife and stabbed Mr.. Bel
in the abdomen and other places. The wound,
bled profusely, and the wounded man was ia
ken into the saloon opposite the Capitol
where he is now lying. 1t is also said thai
Mr.. Bell did not strike DIR. Stone until aftel
he had been shot, and that then, in the strug
gle, Or. Stone used his knife. Several mem
bers of the Legislature witnessed the ARRAY.
It is supposed that Mr.. Bell is mortal,
wounded; although it may be that the bal
from the pistol glanced to the right, and tn,
cut may have been an angular one.

PLATFoRm OF THE ATOM DEmoo.

AdoRted In Convention at Charleston,
April 30, 1880, by n Vote OF II TO Is States.
Resolved. That the platform adopted by the De-
nocratie panty at Cincinnati be affirmed, with the
following explanatory resolutions
trst-That the government of a Territory orga-
nized by an act Of Congress is provisional and tenn
porarys and during its existence all citizens of the
United States have an equal right to settle with
their property In the Territory, without theic rights,
either of person or property, being destroyed or in
jnred by Congressional or Territorial legislation.
Second-Thati It is the duty of the federal govern
ment. in all its departments, to protect the rights OF
persons and property in the Territories, and wher-
ever else its constitutional authority extends.
IhrdEThat wien the settlers in q Territory,
having an adequate population, form a State consti-
tuition, the right of sovereignty commences, and be-
ing c-onsummated by their admission into the Union,
they stand on an equality with the people of other
States, and State thus organized ought to be ad-
mitted into the federal Union, whether its constitu-
ton prohibits or recognizes the institution of sla-
very.
Rsotued, That the Democratic party are in favor
Of the acquisition of the island of Cuba, on such
terms as shall be honorable to ourselves and just to
Spain at the earliest practicable moment a4E
RefoEped, That the -enactments of State Legisla-
lures to defeat the faithful execution of the Fugitive
Stave Law are hostile in character, subversive of the
Constitution, and revolutionary in their effect,
Resotved, That the Democracy of the United
States recognize It as the imperative duty of this
government to protect the naturalized citizen in all
his rights, whether at home or in foreign lands, to
the same extent as its native born citizens.
Whereas, One Of the greatest necessities of the
age in q political, commercial, postal; and military
point of view, is q speedy Communication between
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts; therefore be 1t
Resolred,. That the national Democratic party Dc
hereby pledge themselves to use every means IN thell
power to secure the passage Of some bill, 70 the ex
tent of their constitutional authority, by Congress
for the construction of q Pacific Railroad from The
Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, atthe ear
iest practicable moment. ~

The BROAD GAUGE AGAIN.-The New
York Herald of Thursday says: : ~.
The building of the Great Western road
which will ultimately place New York in con-
nection with Cincinnati, by an unbroken line
with a gauge of 6 feet, over the Erie, Great
Western, and its connections, is attracting con,
siderable attention to this stock. Forty miles
of the Great Western road, from Little Valley
to jamestown, will, it is said, be opened in
July, and the work will thenceforward be push.
ed rapidly to completion. When it is com
plete the Erie will be Independent of the Lake
Shore, Buffalo and State line, and its othe,
Western connections, though it will retain
them as feeders, as well as the new line. A
single glance at the map shows the importance
of the new road to the Erie Company.

The Democratic County Convention, which
assembled on Saturday to appoint delegates to
the State Convention at Columbus, was very
well attended, Notwithstanding the busy time
among the farmers, and the fact that the meet
ing was one called merely to transact business.
Everything passed off in great harmony, and
the disposition among Democrats was every
Oheie manifest to ignore all controversy about
men, and to make every sacrifice for the cause.
The Republicans may rely upon it that they
will be compelled to again meet a united and
victorious Democracy in the campaign of 1860,

81 BLOODY AFFRAY IN COURT IN Los ANaE-
4Los.-We translate the following from the
Los Angeles correspondence of the Echo du
Pdeifque: zEy g,y
bl Saturday, (April 7th,3 e.. j. G.. Kewen, Dis
trict Attorney of this county, was in Court,
fulfilling his duties in the prosecutionzof a
Mexican, named Olixes, under Indictment, and
he made some coarse remarks, insulting to Mr.
Sims, the counsel for the prisoner. Mr.. Sims
rose and replied; Col. Kewen threw a newspa
per at him ; Sims threw a tumbler back, Kew
en- replied with another tumbler, and Sims fol
lowed with a pitcher of water, every missive
missing its aim. Kewen, in fury, drew a re
volver and fred. A person near him caught
his arm and while the two were struggling
the pistol went off again, and the bullet STRUCK
a native Californian in the leg. The pisto
having been taken away from Kewen, he sal
down. Judge Hayes said nothing during thu
afray, but took revenge by chewing his quic
savagely. When peace had been restored, the
Court adjourned. No arrest has been made.

Lincoln and Hamlin-A wet Blanke

Lincoln AND Ham1nTA WEI.
The enthusiasm will not up-the people will
not shout-1S60 is not 1910. Such is the
sad conclusion of the Abolition leaders as
they. see the cold Indifference with which the
nominations are received. ia 49,
The Germans find that they are to be forced,
willing or unwilling, to support a Know Moth
ing for President, although they had proclaim
ed their choice to be, SEWARD, and had de,
manded his nomination as the price of their al.
legiance. The CHASE men feel that their can
didate was slaughtered in the house of his
friends-that even Ohio would not support his
pretensions. The friends of SEWARD feel that
an "irrepressible conflict" against their favor
lite has brought him to the ground by the
thrust of a CHASE ~marauding lance" The
prestige of victory is not with the opposition
they have no heart for the work, no stom.
ach for the fight. Their nomination fell like
a wet blanket upon the most ardent of the op.
position. With a good candidate on, the part
of the Democracy the victory will be an easy
one.-NationaI Democrat.

The chief merit claimed by the Republicans
for their Presidential candidate is that he
once .Hmauled rails" There are several hun
dred men in Ashland county who were better
-eatiIlAd to thelnomination, on that score be-
cause they have split more rails than LIN.
COLIN. This idea of making a man President
because he had split rails, is worthy of the fac
ton that invented it, idea. Full grown mel
in this age of common sense, and when issues
are before the country that involve the very
existence of the government, will treat such
h~umbuggery with the contempt it merits. rs

Abraham lincoln, of Illinois, and
Hannibal -Hamlin, of Maine.

OF the man selected by the Know Nothings
to beat SEWARD for the nomination, and who
succeeded eon the Sd ballot, at the Chicago
Convention, we have a brief sketch and a most
horrible portrait wallpapers Weakly of the
From. a sketcEit appears that he was born
on the 18th ofsFebruary, 1909, in Hardin
county, Kentucky, of respectable parentage.
He studied law and was admitted to. the bar,
and then cast his fortunes in Illinois. Before
the breaking of the Black Hawk war, LIN
COLIN, as captain of a company of Illinois
volunteers, rendered his services and was ae-
cepted, and it is said distinguished himself,
but in what manner, it is not recorded.
He was afterwards elected to the Legislature
school, until the Wing party degenerated into
a mere Abolition party, when he renounced
CLAY and became an. Abolition leader. In
1916 he was elected to Congress, and at the
| Convention which nominated SCOTT for Presi-
dent he was made a member of the National
Committee, for the State of Illinois. LINCOLN,
after the defeat of SCOTT, went in for the Or
ganization of the sectional party whose can
didate he now is, and stumped Illinois for
FREMONT and DAYTON. As the candidate of
his party for United States Senator, he stump
ed Illinois against DOUGLAS and was defeated,
but not half so bad as he will be for President.
In personal appearance, we learn he is what
is called gangling, and if his portraits bear any
resemblance to the man, he has a countenance
that will proposes no one in his favor. In
this, his friends claim that his portraits do him
great injustice. .as los
Of HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of Maine, the
nominee for Vice President, little is known be-
You'd the fact that by one of those spurts that
no one can tell the reason of, he was elected
to the United States Senate by the Democra-
cy of Maine. When his time had nearly run
out, without a single hope of a reelection from
his then political friends, he dumped Jim
Crow to the Abolition side. Aboltionism
was in the ascendant, and HAMLIN was made
the candidate of that party for Governor and
was elected, and, what suited him better, to
get him out of the Gubernatorial chair he was
sent back to the Senate. He is now the nomi-
nee of the Black Republicans for Vice Presi.
dent. IF he can be prevailed upon by his
present political friends in Maine to resign his
seat in the Senate, as unbeooming a candidate
we venture the prophecy that after November
HANNIBAL will no more be heard of in pub
lie ife.-Nationat Democrat. nyT .eaae9
