ing them up in our memory-everybody's
ideas upon the subject of the war, "lying
dispatches" democracy, republicanism, un-
ionism, radicalism, and all the other iSms,-
and if they don't take the hint pretty soon
that the composing room ofa printing Office
is no place to discuss politics, we'll "print

we are determined cuss when we get started,
and some day when we are at work at

set up "local" and listen to you at the

FROM PAYETTE MINEs.-Mr. Ousley,
arrived here this week from Gold Fork-a
tributary of the Payette river-bringing
with him 100 ounces of gold dust. The
lot was assayed by DR.. j. II. Day, and net
ted SIC II per OF.
Mr.. Ousley says the company with which
he is interested on Gold Fork is the only
one engaged in mining there at present,
though others are prospecting with view
of getting to work. The diggings where
the company are at work, are situated be-
tween the Warren and Placerville mines,
being about fifty miles distant from either
point. The gold is fine and is collected
in the sluices with quicksilver. The com
pany have so far worked on hill some dis
lance above the level of the stream, max
ing from SIG to $40 per day to the hand.
Mr.. Ousley thinks good pay will be found
in the bed of the stream when the water
gets low so that it can be prospected. He
says that but very little prospecting has
been done there as yet. Gold Fork is as
large a stream as Slate creek, upon which
the Florence mines are situated.
ELEorED.-Mr. S. b. Fargo has received
letter from the county Auditor of Stevens
county, stating that he received l47 votes
for Prosecuting Attorney in that county
There were no votes cast in the county for
Mr. Lasater, the opposing candidate, owing,
we suppose, TO the fact that there were no
tickets circulated with his name upon them.
Mr.. Lasater's majority was 1873 in this
county Mr. Fargo is therefore elected by
votes The total number of votes polled
in Stevens this year was l56-a gain of 66
over the vote of last year.
NEwsPAPoRIAL.-It is reported that the
Oregon Democrat and Eugene City Revie,o
are soon to be removed to Salem, where the
two papers will be consolidated into one
sheet 1t is also stated that the publishers
of the Salem Statesmen, intend issuing
daily edition after the fourth Of July.
Col TVault of the Jacksonville Intelli-
gencer, who was candidate in the late
Oregon election for Prosecuting Attorney,
was defeated by one vote He claims that
his opponent received about fifteen Illegal
votes. Old T. acknowledges his defeat and
appears contented with the reflection that
he come within one of being elected.
A QUESTION FOR LAwYERs.-Th fol-
lowing paragraph is going the rounds of the
California papers
ain Alpine county lives lady who some
time since got married, as all women love to
do. -Four weeks after her husband was
