PARTY MALIGNITY.-A paragraph in the
Unions telegraphic dispatch from San Francisco,
dated the 9th inst, states that the vote of Sena-
tor Gwin was challenged at the Seventh District
polls, on the ground that he was not citizen of
the State, and he was compelled to swear it in.
We are of the number of those who believe, that
if Mr.. Gwin is defeated in his aspirations by the
action of the next Legislature, he will remove
from the State, as old Foote, Baker, Baylie Pey-
ton, Stanley, and other political adventures
have done; but to challenge his vote, under ex-
isting circumstances, for the reason alleged, was
a contemplate piece of party malignity, unwor.
thy of any one calling himself gentleman. II
Mr. Gwin had knocked the challenger down he
would have served him right.

MONUMENT FUND.-The amount received in

We heard several gentlemen say it was their
"intention" to contribute, 'but they forgot
it." If they were sincere, they can hand
their fifty cents over to George Dornin yet
But we're afraid they won't. Experience in
such matters proves that Byron was correct

THE WINDING UP.-Election is over; but
as matter of history we place the fact on
record, that large, attentive, and rather
enthusiastic meeting was addressed in this
place on Saturday evening last, by Benz. F.
Washington, Judge Niles Searls and George
Pen Johnston. The first speaker was hard
on the Republicans; the second went into
some detail on the Dred Scott decision and
and discursive style, touched number o.
subjects, without dwelling long on any. He
was particularly felicitous in illustrative
anecdote, and if he did not convince, at least
gave entertainment to large portion of his
audience.

A THRIVING CITY.-Marysville is on the
high road of prosperity. The list of arrivals
for two days, at the ST. Nicholas and United

papers, foot up one hundred and eighty
names. Supposing the Merchants, Dawson's,
What Cheer House, Western, and other
hotels of the city, to have entertained, in the
and the grand total, three hundred and sixty,
is a pretty sure proof that the beautiful
valley city is destined, at no very distant
day, to be the first and most successful rival
of the great San Francisco.

Nor A FRENCHMAN.- name of the man
who was shot by Mr.. Nypher, while attempt
ing to rob the Haskell mining claims, near
Lake City, last week, was La Blange. Mons.
Poquillon, of the latter place, writes aletter
to the Nevada Transcript denying that he
was Frenchman. Very naturally, he feels
a national pride in the matter.
Whether La Blange was a Frenchman or
not, we all agree that he met the fate he
richly deserved If a Frenchman, it simply
goes to prove that there is occasionally an
outlaw and desperate in that nationality as
we'll as most others; and even admitting the
fact of his alleged nativity, it detracts moth
ing from the respectability nor high sense OF
honor so well known to characterize the
numerous Frenchmen resident in and about
Lake City.
A fellow suspected of being the accom-
plice of La Blange, was arrested at North
Bloomfield a few days after the attempted
robbery.
