HIFALUTIN ASSASSINATION.

Could Lindley Murray have read the
following extract from a letter, in q late
Enterprise, he would have been a little the
worst beat man that ever slung grammar
and dictionary with such a refreshing
l~ooseness:
Keeping step with the harmonious flow Of
the divine law Of progress, and that our
hearts may be made to vibrate in unison with
their heavenly music, as we are brought en-
rapport with the great wave Of melody which
is beginning to touch the shores Of our being;
borne hither by the breezes of divine love (;
thrilling our souls /; skillfully touching the
chords Of sympathy and love in our Utmost
souls ; causing them to respond to the meth
DDS Of the divine proceeding in the heavens ;
acting and reacting upon the finer susccpti-
bilities Of our brothers and sisters, which
must lift them above the atmosphere Of sem
%suality, OF antagonism and selishness, giving
them higher aims and nobler aspirations
thus preparing them for a higher and more
harmonious life on earth, and a higher and
more glorious reception in the "Summer
Land" when they are called thither. o, how
divinely does the magnetism OF love permeate
the Utmost recesses Of our being and illumln'
ate the chambers Of our spirits I; thus inviting
angelic guests to connect us with their laoors
Of Iove-establishing posts along the shining
pathway Of progress-each having a direct
connection with the lines Of communication
in the heavens.
As Talbot says again When the
grand circumlucatory prestiditarian re.
suits Of q morbid state of the liver causes
an overreaching of the sterior lobe Of a
h~yperbolatic ~somnolency, directly emanat-
ing from cold potatoes and onions without
vinegar, then the vacillating Utilization Of
the gastronomic organization hurts the
in6nitellisimal antagonism Of whisky and
water to the organization of Good Temp

SauABs.--Reader, do you know what
squads are: Noa They are a young
pigeon or dove; and among the real, de-
licious, toothy, delicacies we are most
fond of it is a "squab" boiled for break
fast-or at any other time. That we have
a weakness for squads, Tahoe trout, or
game or fowls of any kind, or even oysters
or shrimps, we freely admit; and those
who know US best have a "fellow feeling"
for us. This morning, Uncle Joe Trench.
of Silver City, Zone OF Gods noblemen,)
sent US a box of plump, fat, delicious
squads, fit for a King or a Editor to
luxuriate upon. We are sound on
SQUADS.

A GrANr.-A stranger, apparently from
the country, made his appearance on the
streets yesterday, attracting much atten-
,ion BY the unusual holiness Of his stat
ure. He measured seven feet two and a
half inches in his boots, nnd wore q tall
white stove-pipe hat, which made him
look as long as the moral law. He was a
good-natured "cuss," and seemed to en-
JOY the attention which his extraordinary
longitude attracted. At one time at least
FIVE hundred people surrounded him, and
he looked down on the multitude from
his lofty eminence like a jackass among a
flock of sheep.-S. Louis Democrat.

GREAT CoNvENIENcE,-Two instances
of the benefits of advertising have come to
our special notice within a week. Last
week a man lost a certificate of deposit in
o Bank. It had been lost a day. and he
then put an advertisement in the News.
The finder brought it to our office within
an hour after the paper containing the
notice was out. Yesterday. a gentleman
had an advertisement inserted, offering a
reward for a lost pocket-book. At seven
o'clock a man brought it to our office,
having found it, but not knowing where
to find the owner, until he saw the adver-
,isement. There is nothing like adver-
Using.

O VICTORY.

For Copperhead journals to talk of
democratic" victories in California as
indications of a political revolution in
their favor. The next California Senate
stands ,hir.y-shree Union men to five
Democrats. And look at the San Fran
cisco election. There, as elsewhere, the
Democratic partial successes were wholly
and obviously owing to a split in the
Union organization, which all intelligent
Union men of that region declare will not
occur again. And then, six Democrat
so called-just scratched into office. And
take them as they ars: VIM. J. Shaw
claimed as a Democratic State Senator
elect, to our personal, positive knowledge,
voted for Lincoln both times, and has
been all through the wal a radical sup
porter Of the Administration. His
name was introduced. without authority
or license from him, before the lndepend-
emit Union Committee, and after being by
them nominated, assaults were made in
the Committee on his private reputation,
and his nomination recalled. For express
personal vindication, he announced HIM
self a genuine Independent" candidate,
when the Democrats took him up and en-
dorsed him. Aiding in his election very
materially wa this other fact: The night
before election there was a meeting OF
leading Broderick men, who agreed to
combine on the morrow for the defeat Of
Frank Pixley-one of Broderick's most
~virulent enemies-and the support OF
Shaw, one of Broderick's friends. A sue
cessful party on the Democratic Assem-
bly, ticket was the Grand Master Of the
Odd Fellows of California, for whom the
members of the Order in San Francisco
voted almost en- mGsse. DR.. Gates, on
the Assembly ticket, was a supporter OF
Lincoln, and was nominated and run by
I" outside Landmen so called-oppoSed
to the BuAetin's black mailing schemes
against outside land owners. There were
a large number of other incidentals-quite
aside from political distinctions-that con-
,ributed to a result chiefly brought about
by a split in the Union camp. We have
been told that a large body of Nevada
Democrats" suddenly appeared in San
Francisco and Sacramento on election
day +; and there being no Registry Law,
the presumption is that they voted mod
erately during the regular polling hours.
The election of the 9th is to the people oil
San Francisco the lesson we had here last
September, which we took 10 heart and
profted by in the following November.
And so it will be over the mountains.
We reckon it, on the whole, a good piece
of warning and instruction to the people
of C~alifornia-this occasional election OF
a Copperhead, or a democratically en-
dorsed candidate. To talk of a Demo-
cratic victory on such a basis is the tip
top Of absurdity. And, citizens, it brings
the teachings of last Fall back again to US.

NORTH CARoLINA.-Presiden Johnson
on Monday last addressed letter to
Provisional Governor Holden of North
Carolina, thanking the latter for the
manner in which he has conducted af-
fairs, and assuring him that he will be
sustained by the government, but ex-
pressing deep regret at the result of the
recent elections in that State. These
results. the President says, have greatly
damaged the restoration prospects in
the State, and should the action of the
Legislature be in the same direction,
which he, however, hopes will not be
the case: it will, he states, greatly in
crease the mischief already done, and
may be fatal.
The President last Friday night re-
ceived dispatch from Gov. Holden an
nouncing that the North Carolina Lsgis-
lature has, with but six d.fsentfng
votes, ratified the amendment to the ma
tional constitution abolishing and for
ever prohibiting slavery throughout the
country.
Only two more states are now required
to secure the adoption of the amend
ment as a part of the "Supreme Law

dog. Supposing fox might be within,
he placed a lantern upon the end of his
gun, and by STOPPING he entered the
cave, and proceeded about 70 feet, when
he saw the eyes of "varmint," and
perceived at once it was no fox. The
animal was crouched upon kind OF
shetland Mr.. Hill not daring, or wishing
to back out pointed his gun at the crea-
ture, when the latter Immediately caught
the muzzle in his mouth. Mr.. H. sue
ceeded in wrestling his piece away, point

it, when Mr.. Hill discharged the gun,
heavily loaded with buck shot, into the
creatures mouth, and through the back
of his neck. The animal bounded for
ward, but, with hatchet, and the aid of
his dog, Mr.. Hill dispatched him at once
without receiving any injury. 1t was a
PANTHER, measuring five feet, eight
inches in length, and weighing III lbs.
1t was exhibited at Granville Corners
on Saturday, and created good deal of
excitement. The gun barrel showed
very distinctly the marks OF sharp
teeth.
