Political.
The San Francisco Alias Sacramento
correspondent says:

The San Francisco Alias Sacramento
correspondent says:
The status of the prominent politicians
of the old Democratic school could at
once and easily be fixed on the converting
of the earlier sessions of the Legislature.
Everybody knew where to place Bigler,
and Roman, and Denver, and Washing
ton. The Known othings first ruthless
" disturbed the harmony of the previous
" united family, and such lights as Es-
tell, and many others, were shut up in
dark lanterns. Ever since Sc, disruption
has been going on amidst all parties until
now. It would puzzle Philadelphia
lawyer to say to what party most of the
pioneer politicians belong.
The above statements are suggested by
the conversation and conferences about
the McDougal resolutions introduced in
the Senate yesterday. Union Democrats,
particularly those From the Mississippi
Valley and the Western States, have
made an idol of "Jim Mac" and hate to
give him up. They say he will come out
all right on this as he did on the Franco
Mexican intervention and invasion ques-
ton. In fact some of them say that
"Jeems" was sound in opposing the ad-
mission of the Senators from Western
Virginia-that there can be no dissection
of the old matronly Commonwealth, etc.
A lively discussion win take place when
the resolutions come up for debate. Of
this rest assured. for Copperheadism exists
even in the present Legislature.

\ Humboldt City correspondent gives
the following:
Big discoveries have been made here
lately. Seven large, wcll-deined gold
bearing lodges located last week. They
must be very rich. saw wagon load
ofrockyesterday in which think no piece
could have been found without gold in
sight. The gold is coarse and free. Boys
at the lodges are making ten to twenty
dollars q day with hand mortarS. Com

will soon be in operation.
The Cuba is taking out very rich ore
About 200 tons lies at the mouth of their

More discoveries yesterday, between
this place and Lassen Meadows, on the
Humboldt river. Two large salt springs,
with about hundred tons of dry salt at
each. A half mile below, was found a
vein of pure saltpeter; and a mile from
that lies the birthstone ledge. All these
things are here for some use. I like them
all but the birthstone. Don't like that,
unless to speculate on.

THE DIscrSSIoS.-We last evening de-
clared our columns open for all brief and
fair communications on the subject of the
great question that is now agitating the
public mind, and forms the chief topic of
conversation among all classes. The ques-
ton is an important one, and deserves the
fullest, calmeSt and most dispassionatc
consideration of the citizen. 1t concerns
all alike; the miner, the merchant, the
mechanic, and every .'other man. who hts
stake in the country. We published
last evening a communication from "a
Miner" who takes ground in favor Of the
adoption of the Constitution as it is.
This evening we give place to Cosmos
who takes the opposite ground. 1t is well
that the subject should be thoroughly
ventilated, and those who present fair,
brief and readable communications, and
bring them to our Office at a seasonable
hour, shall have place in our columns.

A SicklY Season.

From what we can gather from our ex-
changes, the present is most unhealthy
season throughout the entire Pacific Coast.
In the vicinity of Auburn children have
been dying off with appalling rapihty,
the prevailing disease being scarlet fever.
From the San Francisco Journal we learn
that the same dreadful scourge is making
its ravuges in the Bay City. The Call
of last Tuesday says that there "has never
has been a time since San Francisco came
under American rule that there was as
much sickness as at present. During a
walk of an hour and a half, yesterday,
we saw no less than thirteen funeral cor
teges vending their way to the various
cemeteries" In this portion of the coun-
try the prevailing disease appears to be q
species of pneumonia. Rheumatic and
neuralgia complaints are also very preva-
lent. With the several causes of sickness,
although but few cases terminate fatally,
a perfectly well man is the exception.
Out of ten persons employed in our office
there have been, during the past fortnight,
from three to half a dozen on the sick
list; and from our inquiries after prin-
tiers we learn that very similar state of
pl-kealth has existed amoug the craft in
Virginia. The weather is and has been
thus far unusually warm and pleasa
which, being out of the ordinary course,
may in a measure account for its unheal-
thiness, OF the diseases peculiar to this
locality, pneumonia is the most dangerous,
and those attacked with its symptoms
should lose no time in obtaining medical
advice; for, although in its earlier stages
it yields readily to the proper treatment,
when once seated it is most obstinate.

Result of Street Education.

Keep your children off the street. Mrs.
CarefuPs little son Manfred came running
into the paternal mansion the other day,
shouting to the cook:
'fNow then, old girl, slap up that dinner"
"Why, Manfred!" began the astonished
mother; "where did you learn such language !?
who have you been playing with :"
"Me," said the hopeful. 81 generally play
with Dick Turner, cause he's bully boy
with glass eye. That's So"
The fond mother was about to express
some establishment at the optical misfortune
of Dick when the son continued:
"Ma, Pm going to buy plug! Jem Smith
wears one, and I'm as big as he"
IA plug!" gasped the mother.
eyes, stree, ping. I've got the spondu-
ticks salted down in my box, sure; it's bound
to come"
The mother at this juncture ordered the
youngster up stairs, and sent for man serv-
ant to interpret the slang.

DEcL1v1TY OF RIvERs.-A very slight de-
clivity suffices to give the running motion to
water. Three inches per mile, in smooth,
straight channel, gives velocity Of about
three miles an hour. The Ganges, which
gathers the waters of the Himalaya Noun
tains, the Hottest in the world, is, at 1900
miles from its mouth, only about 800 feet
above the level Of the sea, and to fall these
800 feet in its long course the water requires
more than month. The great river Magda-
lena, in South America, running for l,10O
miles between two ridges of the Andes, falls
only 500 feet in all that distance; above the
commencement of the 100 miles it is seen
descending in rapids and cataraets from the
mountains. The gigantic Rio de Ia Plata
has SO gentle descent to the ocean that in
Paraguay, 800 miles from its mouth, large
ships are seen which have sailed all the way
against the current by the force Of the wind
alone-that is to say, which, on the beauti-
fully inclined plane OF the stream, have been
gradually lifted by the soft wind, and even
against the current, to an elevation greater
than that Of our loftiest spires.

Lincoln's Presidential career. 1t looks
with admiration on the man who, starting
on voyage of unparalleled danger, and
without the confidence of even the whole
of his own party, has turned out to be one
of the wisest, truest, most patient and
successful statesmen. "What miserable
burlesque upon American institutions and
American character, will it be-" says the
enlightened editor, '.if, at the next Presi-
dental election, any considerable number
of the loyal people vote against such a
man, for the little ambitious, superficial,
self-conceited, pulled up ''grave digger of
the Chickahominy :"

Chinese WaShermen.

The Humboldt Register is prejudiced
against the Celestial population, and is in
favor of compelling them to "git up and
git" 1t says : sit would be good pre-
caution to take their case in hand now,
while it would work but little hardship to
them, and notify these Chinese to leave
and see that they obey the notice. What
good are they heres They wash clothes
and stink. They get money here, and
send it to China. They are parasites on a
community-they consume its substance,
and produce nothing but unrest. There
are worthy white women in all our towns,
anxious to get all the clothes that need
washing, at the same rate that these in
formal Chinese charge"
There is sense in that last sentence, sure.
The same is equally applicable to this
vicinity. We notice worthy case of the
kind referred to by our Virginia cotem-
poraries. 4 widow, with an infant fami-
ly, has been suffering for want of the
common necessaries, but has within day
or two been generously relieved by the
citizens. Donations for her relief are re-
eeived at the Enterprise Office, but she is
willing and anxious to work, and those
who are employing Chinese washermen
would do Christian deed by transferring
their custom to her, or other white women
similarly situated.

4 WAR HINT AT VERSAILLEs.-A
short time since the officers of the En-

to the officers of the CuirassierS and Ian
GERS in garrison in that place. We quote
from French paper: Marshals Magnan
and Ragnault de St. Jean d Angely, Gen
erals d'Allonvillc and Pate, and several
other officers of rank, were among the
guests. Covers were laid for two hun
drcd and thirty. Toasts, were, of course.
given to the Emperor, Empress aud
Prince Imperial, to the army, etc. On the
health of his regiment of Dragons being
proposed, Colonel Pajol said, in returning
thanks: perhaps the day is not distant
when the Emperor will call upon us to
measure our swords with the oppressors
of people so full of sympathy toward
France. We will then, like those who
have gone before us, let the world know
the advantages that may be derived from
the combination of all the arms of caval-
~" This expectation of a war with
Russia-for it can only be Russia that is
meant-was greatly applauded. The
presence of two MarShalS and of other

dent still more remarkable. Before the
war in Italy there were indications of q
similar kind.
