Gold Hill daily news. [volume] (Gold Hill, N.T. [Nev.]) 1863-1882, 1865-12-16

following official document in his Majesty's
own hand, which I have the honor to deliver
to you:
PROCLAMATION.
Tho Pope and the archbishop Of Canterbury
to look toeH to their honorS-Anotter rum
bug IN tie fsNL
WHEREAS, one styling himself Moses
Emanuel, has issued a proclamation, pro.
claiming himself the Pope, or something OF
that kind /; and t0hereds, all our kind subjects,
by reason Of their disobedience of our hither-
to DEGREES, are heavily taxed, and unable to
stand much expense for deranged persons,
therefore we, Norton ], Emperor, do hereby
command the friends Of the Pope md the
Archbishop, within our dominions, to catch
Moses Emanuel-if they can-and incarcer.
ate him in a Lunatic Asylum. until his mind
can attend to his own instead Of other peo-
Plies affairs. NORTON l.
His Majesty, like his fellow sovereign
Max. I, Of Mexico, tolerates no rivals on his
dung.hill, and will make short work with all
imposterS and pretenders-if his DEGREES are
obeyed.
NOT A SUICIDE, But AN ACCIDENT.
The Coroner in investigating the matter Of
the death Of Constant Hubert, the hair dresser
mentioned in my last letter, discovered that
the deceased did not commit suicide after all,
as at first supposed, but fell q victim to a
fatal mistake. The jury last evening returned
the following
VERDICT:
That they do find, that the deceased was
a native Of Marentan, Department de Ia
Manche, France; aged fifty years, and that
he came to his death by taking q solution of
c~yanuret Of potassium, on December 4, 1855,
at his residence, on Montgomery street, one
door from Clay street, in the City and County
Of San Francisco.
And the jury further find from the repre-
sentation Of his physician, who had pre-
scribed morphine for him to take at night,
that the cyanuret Of potassium was taken by
mistaking the difference betweec the two
vials Of medicine.
ROSE GETS A TESTIMONIAL.
The famous detective, George ". Rose,
was last evening presented with magnificent
gold watch and chain, one Of fuckers finest
rigs, costing $500 hard cash, by his admiring
constituents. On one side Of the watch Is q
view Of the big trees Of Calayeras county, and
on the other side the seal OF the city and
county Of San Francisco. These designs are
the only inappropriate part Of tho testimonial.
On one side Of the watch there should have
been a picture Of Rose arresting a gang OF
Chinese hen-roost robbers and relieving them
of their plumber, and on the other Rose dis
posing OF the chickens a Ia mode de San
Francisco police that Is to say, eating them
himself.
THE BLOODY FOURTEENTH.
Some time since l alluded, in one Of my
letters, to the bad character Of one battalion
of the Fourteenth United States Infantry,
who had recently arrived from the East.
Since then, a second inStullment has arrived,
and the universal verdict Of the people Of San
Francisco is that they are so much worse
than their predecessors that they make the
first corners comparatively respectable. or
all the dirty, dilapiduted, filthy, drunken,
God-forsaken looking set Of wretchcs l have
ever seen, these fellows are the worst, by at
least one hundred per cent. In justice to
our military service, I must say that but q
few of these graceless scslliwagS ever Smelled
powder in an active campaign. The regi-
ment, which was one Of the best in the army,
was reduced to q mere fraction Of its original
strength, BY the vicisitudes Of war, and after
the surrender Of General Lee il was recruited
to its present standard in New York, and
then shipped to this coast. The new recruits
appear to be the most infamous set Of thieves,
bounty jumpers and bummers who ever wore
the uniform Of an honorable service. Since
their arrival here they have INDUCED in the
l~uxuries Of burglary, petty larceny, assaults
with deadly weapons, attempts at highway
robbery, desertion. etc., ad Ill.,, and their
officers seem to be utterly at their mercy,
making no apparent effort to manage and
restrain them, being apparently content to
allow them to do as they please, provided
they will let them alone and conine their
warlike demonstrations to the persons and
property Of civilians. One detachment has
already been sent to Arizona, and the second
will leave for the same destination in a few
days. If amy considerable proportion Of the
United States troops now stationed in the
late rebel States resemble these, / can well
understand and excuse the anxiety Of the
people Of that section to get rid Of their pres
cnce at the earliest possible moment. The
Artillery regiment, which lately arrived,
seems to be composed Of very different ma
terial, and is credit instead Of a disgrace to
the service.
WHAT Is THE NATTER NOWi
There seems to be something wrong /; a screw
loose somewhere, so to speak, in the matter
of the Territorial Delegate to Congress from
Arizona. Governor Goodwin, who was cleo
ted according to the certified returns, is still
here stopping ut the Occidental, while his op-
ponent, Colonel Poster, also claims that he
was hornswoggled out Of the place through
base shenanigan, is at Washington, working
with might and main to secure the position
for himself through atidavits, charging fraud,
etc., which he has presented to Congress. 1t
may be that Goodwin, conscious Of his inno-
cence Of the offenses charged, prefers to re-
main away from Washington until the queS-
ton is decided, and trust to his friends to
vindicate HIM in Congress, but the matter, as
it now stands, appears slightly mixed up.
CALIFORNIA ACTRESSES ABROAD.
Singular as it may seem, the Eastern pub
lie no longer look for the evidence Of an ar
lists merit in the endorsements Of the
metropolitan press, but prefer to know in
what esteem he or she was held in Califor-
MIA. The time was when California talent
was looked down upon with contempt, but
all this has changed now, and the basest i'm.
posters in the world are ~trumping up testi-
monials from California to enable themselves
to get before the public elsewhere. have
now before me q paper from northern Wis
consin containing the Advertisement Of one
Madam Bancroft Of California" She is
giving theatrical and musical entertainments,
and quotes largely from California papers to
back up her pretensions to the title ofa star.
No such woman was ever on the boards here,
and the pretended quotations, from the Aka,
Bulletin, etc., are all boguI; but the compli.
ment to the discriminating taste and good
judgement Of Californians is a high one,
nevertheless. Have half 4 mind to start out
in this line myself; I have received some
high compliments from the minor press Of
San Francisco in my time.
Adios, ANloo.
