BEwARE.-There are strong indicat ons that
another Fraser river furor is to prevail this sea-
son, that will take off thousands in search Of
silver mines to Esmerada, Mona, Coso, Owen S
Lake. Colorado, etc. and as usual great loss and
disappointment will follow. There are many
men in California who will not let well enough
alone, and are ever ready to seek reported new
dggings, however distant they may be. 1t is
useless for the press to attempt to check these
stampedes for a prospecting miner is ''set in his
ways
Here is small item. however, respecting the
silver region of Owens Lake, that is worth con-
sidering by those who Intend journeying in that
direction. The geologist of the Boundary Com
mission writing from Owens Mountain, says:
My investigations show conclusivey that there
has been great delusion kept up in the minds
OF many people in regard to native silver in the
region which | have had an opportunity to eX-
anime. l examined localities which were GER
tninIy those that had been indicated by the early
discov of supposed mines; and am satisfied
that 7 ale of beautiful description, which is
very abundant in those localities has been mis-
taken for silver or silver ore

The LAW WAS CoNsrITurIoNAL.-On Sat
urday the Supreme Cour; decided the Act,
granting change OF venue in the Horace
Smith case, to be unconstitutonal-thu
overthrowing the learned legal opinions Of
the Governor, the Bulletin, Alta, Union
etc. On Saturday night upon the receipt of
the decision at San Francisco Judge Camp
bell opened Court and made an order re-
moving the case for trial TO this county
On Tuesday Mr.. Smith arrived in Auburn,
and we suppose the trial will take place at
All early day, rs the District Court is now in
session.
We will not pursue the course of por
ton of the San Francisco press, and attempt
to forestall public opinion in this case, but
let it 60 before jury upon its merits. We
believe Mr.. Smith can have fair trial in
this county-which is more than we think
could have been obtained in San Francisco,
as the minds of the people Of that city had
been poisoned against him by the outrage
Gus and vindictive articles of the Bulletin
and Alta. The teachings of those papers
would have better suited among a nation of
savages, than in civilized and christian
community.

Provides FOR HIS own IIoUsEHo Id. Ne ed
Baker, who has hand in giving out the
California offices, has provided his own son
in law, RoLt. J. Stevens, with the nice fat
berth of Superintendent Of the San Fran
cisco Mint. Stevens has been the book
keeper in the Mint during IIempsteal's term,
and always an active working Democrat, and
we have not heard that he has yet made a
confession Of Republican faith. 1t is fair
presumption, however, that bis Democracy

A NEW PA"ER.
An effort is being made here to commence the
publication of a new Democratic paper of the
"fusion" order. The prospects of success does
not look bright, although some of the Democrats
are ready to ''pungle" in small amounts. The
of the coolest Democrat" to be taken down for
any large sum. Something, however, may be
accomplished before the Legislature adjourns.
REPUBLICAN ORGAN.
There is some talk also of commencing a Re-
publican organ at the seat of government. The
Union and Bee both being quasi- Republican Or
gans, the field is not considered very promising
The latter spicy little sheet is to be enlarged.
THE FIREMEN.
Our Firemen are getting into terrible wran-
gle, and if the excitement continues till the day
we shall have civil war at home, and equal to
that raging in the East. The trouble originates
out OF an effort by Neptune Hose Company to
increase the roll from IS to 65 members-an un-
pralleled proceeding in any Fire Department.
This is scheme to "colonize'' or "naturalize"
voters. The bill before the Legislature, giving
this additional force, will probably fail.
AN ADJOURNMENT.
1t is generally understood that the Legislature
will not adjourn before the middle of May. There
are about one hundred bills still on the file in the
Assembly, and the School, Revenue, and Appor-
tionment bills, of themselves, will consume con-
siderable time yet. The members are taking it
easy" although they get SIS per day in orders on
a bankrupt treasury.

YOUR Hoo6and's German Bitters Invaluable
medicine, having Witnessed their great curative
properties in several instances in my own family
deemit a duty owe to my friends and the public
TO inform them of it in this manner.
MY son was a long time afflicted with the Liver
Complaint and debility Of the system, for which
he had the services of several physicians without
avail. Finally procured bottle Of the Bitters,
and through their ruse he entirely restored 70
health. My daughter some time after exhibiting
symptoms of the same disease, we again resorted 70
the Bitters. I would state, by the way that she
had for a long time been suffering from Neuralgia,
and her breath was very offensive she also
became SO extremely weak, that she was unable 70
leave her bed. After commencing the use OF the
Bitters she improved rapidly, and in one week was
able to pay visit to her friends at Chestnut Hill,
and soon became entirely restored TO health, My
vile also uses the Bitters, and thinks there is no
medicine like them. Whe1eyer she feels weak or
nervous and her stomach appears out OF order, she
takes OF two doses, which Immediately restores
her.
Hoping that this may prove Of service to my
frieuds,I am
