REMAINS OF A MONSTER The prcipal
excitement Of the week, says the Southern
Oregon Press, (Jacksonville,) has been d"
,ected towards The observation Of certain
portions Of an immense skeleton recently un'
ear.hed by some Cinnamon who are engas-
ed u mining on Missouri Gulch. and which
are supposed TO be The remains OF masto-
don They were found buried about TWEEN
,y feet under ground, and had lain there, in
all probability, thousands OF years. Two OF
the teeth, shoulder blade part OF one leg,
and various portions Of tho tusks were
brought into town, and are now on exh'bl'
ton at Sutton l. Hyde's drug store. A
single rib is said to Lave been dug out that
is over seven feet long, and from twelve to
fourteen inches in width; while the balance
Of the skeleton is yet under ground. The
portions brought into town exceed in size
any animal fossils We ever saw. The teeth
a.. 1--we enough to have mas,icated saw
Ioes, being full seven ;;:~:ches in breadth and
over thrne in width; and one piece OF .:Ssk
from appearances less than half lis iu!l
ength-is four feet long and twenty inches
10 circumference According to the theory
Of geologsts, these tueEs must have been
about tw elve feet long; and when it is c1n-
sidered that this animal in its lifetime car
ried two Of these mammoth protuberances,
some faint idea Of the immense proportions
of the nc onster may be formed. 1t is thought
by some owing to what is considered dis
proportion 10 lbe size of some Of the pieces
,,f tusl:s exbumed-that these remains are
nortions OF different animals. Such fossils
are known TO bs numerous throughout North
America, and particularly in Kentucky; o"'
we believe this to be the first discovery o
the kind in this part of the country.

the Sonoma Democrat says: "1bat's what
you call executive talent" is in In good
old Democratic days, log rolling, wire'pul-
ling bribery and corruption, for securing a
nomination were called different name.
Executive talent is good. Cameron exhibit
ed in bis election to the Uu'ed States Sem
ate from pennsy ylvania, though bis perquis-
ties must be very large to make him even
on the expense. Sage-brusb Nye recently
exhibited it in buying up the loyal Legisla-
ture OF Nevada to elect him TO the Senate.

Of Executive talent" So has Gorham-and

Conness and the Mineral Lands.

The last number Of the Sac. Union receiy.
ed here contained an article on "Conness
and the Mineral Lands," showing up this
Senatorial agent of monopolies in his true
light, and ii is another proof Of wha. your
correspondent in former letters has called
the attention, Of the people of California to.
The low tricks TO which Conness has resort.
ed in Washington; in relation to land mat.
tsrs in California, is perfectly reprehensibls
to any one who has any claims to political
honesty or personal respectahii,y. And
here is.another instance Of his interest in the
public good: Some time since, as I am in.
formed upon reliable authority, the Central
Pacific Railroad Company had an agent here
named Beard, whose duty it was to prosecute
their business before tie Land Office. Con-
ness went 10 c. p. Huntington, the Presi-
dent Of the Company, and insisted upon
Beard being discharged and man named
L,wry appointed. This, Mr. Huntington a.
fist refused to do, as Mr. Beard was an ef.
tcent and reliable agent, and had given en-
tire satisfaction to the company. Besides be
did not know Lowry, nor did the members
of the company. Conness presisled in The
change, and Huntington not wishing to in
cur the ire of Honest John Conness," at
last yielded to the demand, and Lowry, the
pet of "our only sober Senator" now enjoys
the emoumen,s Of the position.
Whether Conness was prompted in this
matter hy disinleresed motives or not, can
oni, be left TO cor lecture. Lowry, believe,
acts for most. If pot all the California land
grabbers, sucn as Fristee and Others whose
special bills Conness has pushed through
Congress at the expense Of Thousands of hon.

Declaring Themselves.

The Central Council Of Anti. Coole Clubs
In San Fr.ncisco, which is composed OF the
Presidents OF the Ant.Coolie Clubs Of that
city, held meeting on Wednesday night,
and unanimously adopted the following:
WHEREAS. We have held our organization
free from contact with all political parties,
believing that the success Of our principles
depended upon the united and Independent
support CT that party only who clearly and
canddIy adopted them in their creed Of
faith; and
WHEREAs. The two dominant political
parties of this State have, in their recent
State Conventions, made issues wherein the
principles Of our organization and the en-
couragement Of the laboring classes arc di-
rectly promul gated; therefore
Resolped, That for ourselves we are deter
mined to support and do recommend to the
Anti-Coolie Associations throughout this
State to give their undivided support at the
ensuing election in September next to Hen
ry II. Haight, Esqr-inasmuch as the party
which he represents has, in its platform,
more fully and decidedly adopted our princi-
pies and pledged itself to their fostering
care and maintnance-in preference to his
opponent, George G. Gorhain, who has ex'
pressed an equivocatiug opinion in relation
to our wishes and principles.
