REPUBLICAN REJoICINGs.-The receipt of the
news here on Monday evening, that Ohio, Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania had gone Republican by
large majorities, awakened degree of enthusi-
asm among that particular class of our fellow
citizens, rarely witnessed in these parts. Ayol-
untary committee at once set about collecting
funds.for jubilant demonstration, which came
off in the evening, in the shape of a torchlight
procession, the firing of cannon, speeches from
the street rostrum, and other rejoicings usual ON
such occasions.
A pile of pitch-pine had been provided, which
was divided into parcels in front of the post-of-
fee, each man of the Republicans providing
himself with brand, which was lighted, the
menced and prosecuted through the principal
streets of the business portion of the town. In
front of Judge Stidger's Office, and at several
other points, the procession was halted, and a
number of cheers given, in answer to the BOOM
ing cannon on the hill.
Having marched, shouted, hurrahed, and in
dulged their exultant feelings generally, the
multitude arrayed themselves in front of the I'm
ion Hotel, where DIR. Crossette sung Lincoln
song, after which Joseph Kutz, Esq, called
to the stand, and entertained the crowd for near
ly an hour, in one of his sound, argumentative
speeches. He was succeeded by Mr.. ANDREW
Hartman, in one Of his characteristic oratorical
efforts.
Delegationst to this jubilee, as we are informed.
d.
Manzanita Hill, Sebastopol, and other adjoining
places. On the whole, it would be safe to say,
that the Republicans, after their manner, had
very good time OF it.
UNCLE CHARLEY SoUND.-By the card of
Uncle Charley Roberts, which we publish to-day,
addressed to the 'fbdependent voters of Nevada
county-and it is proud thing to be an inde-
pendent voter-it will be seen that he is sound to
the core ON all those issues which seriously af-
feet, for good or for evil not only the people of
the mountain counties, but the State at large.
At Orleans, Woolseys, Moore's, Nortis Bloom
field, Columbia Hill, Cherokee, Nevada, Grass
Valley, Swieetland and other places, we have
heard Breckenridge men, Douglas men and Re
Charley. He is the only Bell and Everett man
in the field in Nevada county, and that disbanded
party-or, more properly, the old-time members
Of twill support him as a unit and inasmuch
as they will scatter their ballots between the BAL
ance of the Legislative noni1hees On all the OPP
posing tickets, they argue that it would be no
more than right and courtesy in return, to elect
.ly
containing in all, fifteen names. A scratch of
one from each, which must fall on different per-
sons, will secure that result, and perhaps afford
satisfaction to the different voters, who are not
always favorable to each and every one of the
candidates presented by a nominating Conven-
ton. Give Uncle Charley the benefit of the
scratch, then, and that will be sure to elect him.
MELANCHOLY DEATH-Mrs. Mcintosh, the
consort of Mr.. Alexander Mcintosh, who resides
in Plumas county, about eight miles below Rab-
bit Creek, was stricken with paralysis some
eighteen months ago, which terminated in pull
monary and spinal affection. With the view of
placing her hder the medical care of Dr. Weber,
Of this pIace, her husband started from home with
arrived at the house of Mr.. Samuel Atkinson,
in Garden Valley, where he remained with his
rapidly declining charge over night. On Tues
day, at o'clock, p. NJ she eexpired-surrounded
mostly by strangers, who did everything, how
ever, which kindness and hospitality could sug-
gest, to make easy her irrevocable dissolutioh.-
Her husband was unfortunately absent at San
Juan, to procure female aid, at tle time of her
demise, not anticipating any immediate danger.
On Wednesday the remains OF deceased were
brought to North San Juan, and after the per-
formance of religious rites in the Methodist
Church, by Rev. S. S. Brooks, inferred in the
suburban cemetery. Deceased was in her 9th
year. She left two infant children, one aged a
year, and the other one month, besides the warm
" devoted husband TO mourn their sad bereave-
ment.
BOGUS TAS C51LECToRs.-One day last week
"a party of Chinese miners, who are at work near
the spot where the recent break occurred in the
Middle Yuha Ditch were visited by several men
who passed themselves off for collectors of the
Foreign Miners Tax and compelled the Mongdl-
ians to pay them over the aggregate sum of S32,
f6r w1iich they gave bogus receipts. These the
Cinnamon exhibited to the workmen on the Ditch,
who at once detected the fraud of which the poor
Johns had been made the victims.
We think it would be good plan for the Con-
troller of State to have Chinese character en-
graved and printed ON the corner of the genuine
receipt setting forth its character to protect the
Chinamazr against the frequent villainies of this
sort which have always been practised upon them.
ANOTHER HERolNE.@one Gay this week, a
party of immigrants came down the ridge, and
the advance wagon was driven by woman-one
of Gen. Aliens heroines. When near town, the
train was met by butchers cart, and the cart
