SOME GRATUIToUs ADvICE.-The season for
southern fruits has come, and with it Southern
productions unlimited AS many persons have
an aversion to direct advice of any kind, we
would make the following propositions:-Eat
oranges; the number is unnecessary. Devour
sweet bananas; the quantity Is not important
TO any but those who eat and those who sell,
The best place to stand is upon some public
steps, take no particular notice as to where you
throw the peelings, yet try to launch them on
the walk where the crowd pass along. 1t will
afford you great amusement to see somebody
try to turn an extempore ''somersault," or be-
hold the extremlties of certain individuals give
way, and their heads seek solid level.
Indeed, 1t will be source OF never ending
enjoyment to see some aged man, whose once
athletic frame has been loosened and crippled
by years, come down and rack his bones upon
the pavement, or to witness some other person,
with head erect and body carried upright
on dapper legs, give a bounce into the air, and
come down with shock to all things sur
rounding, and with an earthquake jar to mis-
own body. Let ALL remember, boys, girls, and
persons of advanced years, that personally
such an accident is not susceptible OF causing
great pleasure.

SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 30.-A horrible
tragedy occurred near Oakland this
morning. For some time past a man
named Saufy has resided with his wife
and one child at Oakland Point, Alamo
ds County, and followed the business of
raising and selling stock. Last evening
he and his wife went to a neighbours
house on a visit, and left the child at
home with a Chinese servant. About
IL o'clock they returned, found every
thing about the house apparently as
they left it, and retired. About l o'clock
this morning four men entered the house
and attacked them while asleep in their
bed. The scoundrels used a Ratchet, or
other dull weapon, or a bloody murder
would have beeninstantlya accomplished.
The blows were aimed with savage fury
at the heads and faces of the victims,
inficting horrible and CHASTITY wounds,
which yet may prove fatal. Mr.. Saufy,
after the first storm Of blows, retained
sufficient consciousness to cry for help.
The Chinaman then sprang out of bed
and ran into the room, when the four
.assassins fed in haste, leaving Mr..
Sauhy unconscious and his wife with
ing in agony. The Chinaman did not
run at once to alarm the neighbors, but
took such a as he could to staunch
the wounds Of Mr.. and Mrs. Saufiy. At
4 o'clock he left the house and called
on the neighbors for help. People
FASTENED to the house and found Mr..
Saufy and his wife in the bed in a help
less condition, the former still uncon-
%scious, but Mrs. SauAy was able to
speak and give some particulars Of the
affair. She described four white men,
and said the blows were inflicted with
An az or hatchet.

SENATOR WADE disowns the obvious
"agrarian" differences from his loose
Kansas speech, and says he is not, fool
enough to believe in an equal division
of property, when Eve or ten years e1-
perience will be sure to pile it all up
again in the hands of the few, and leave
the masses Of the people as poor as ever
and NO better of for their brief riches.
In which, he is certainly very sensible
and practical; but he is not fair in
throwing the blame of the misuudor-
standing upon the newspapers. They
are often thus made the convenient
pack horses for 'ithe loose e~xpetoration
of speech" that seizes our stump ora
tors on exhilsrating occasions and in a
rsre atmosphere like that Of the plains.
Mr.. wade's speech justified the infer
ence made from it, in its whole general
drift and tenor; we accept his explains
nation Of its terms, as is right; but we
advise him next time he ''shoots of his
mouth" before q border audience upon
tho vital questions Of society and gov
errment to know what he thinks and be
lure what he says. Mr.. Wade says,
too, that he does not seek the office OF
President, or any other; that he is an
old man and needs rest. What's to him
der his taking it?-Sprinafeld, AGS'.,
Republican.

Luis dates Of the 18th state that Gene
raj yidaurri had been shot in the City
Of Mexico. He desired, just before his
his execution, to have an interview
with General Liaz, which was refused.
He then asked the privilege Of seeing
his son. This wa also refused.
N. Schaffe, counsellor Of the Emperor
Macmillan, had been imprisoned by the
Liberals.
The Generals arrested al Queretaro
who have not already been shot, will be
sent to their respective States for trial.
General Marquese had been living at
Prestam's at the Capital until an hour
before he left.
The Liberal Government has decided
that all Imperial Projects shall DO sent
into exile tor six years, and their Secre-
taries for two years.
Escobedo made the following address
to the subaltern officers Of the Imperial
army before releasing them: "The Su-
preme Government might dispose Of
the lives Of those who, forgetting that
they were 6IeIicans, fought for a for
eigner elevated to power by invaders;
but the Government, always msgnani-
nous, forgives those who, until now,
have been the enemies Of their country,
because it expects their future eonduc,
will correspond with the ~clemency used
toward them. You are at liberty, and
may ask your passports for any port
where you desire to reside"
The Imperial prisoner, taken at Quer.
etan, but since liberated, writes from
Nuzelia that he has received good treat
ment from the officers of the Liberal

IT has been discovered that the mill
,ary commission which tried Mrs. Sur
raft, recommended her to the mercy Of
the President, the Recommendation be-
ing presented in the handwriting oil
John A. Bingham, the Assistant Judge
Advocate General. Very many persons
have thought, and have been free to
say, that Mrs. Surratt's guilt was not
clearly proved, and that she was con-
viessd on evidence which, in a civil
Court, would have resulted in her &C
quittal. This belief must be thoroughly
~dispslled, however, in the minds Of those
who have read the testimony at the trial
Of her son, just closed. Tho con
nsctiou Of Mrs. Surratt with the a.,...
sination plot has been shown with the
most convincing c~learnsss, and there
q no longer be the shadow Of a doub,
that she richly meritsd a fslon's fate.

H. n. HAIaur's SPEECH At SAcRA-
xRsro.-On last Saturday evening there
was q largo "Dsmocratic'' meeting at
Sacramento, which was addressed by
H. H. Haight, 10. Hamilton, ]. W. COT
froth and District Attorney J.C. Goods.
In the course Of his remarks, as report
ed by the Union, Haight said:
"There 10 an effortto pervert the Gov
eminent and to turn it over to the hands
of an inferior race. The franchise was
sacred, and should DO held only in the
hands of the white q He was ire
concilably opposed to sharing the cleo
tive franchise with the negro, China
man or any Of the colored races. Upon
the suffrage proposition depended the
rights and privileges Of the American
people. E~nfrauchise the negro and
Chinaman, and our institutions will DO
trampled under foot and u Govern
ment perverted and ruined forever.
Now 10 the accepted time. If the adyo-
Gates of impartial suffrage succeed now,
elections in the future will be but emp
ty forms.
He referred to Senator Stewart, Of
Nevada, who, be said, hailed from a
State where juries and legislators were
bought like cattle. That gentleman was
advising the people Of California to
place the ballot in the hands Of the ne
gro. The speaker thought Stewart had
better look at home, for California
needed none of his advice. He referred
to q resolution that was adopted in a
Convention which was recently held in
Alameda favoring negro suffrage. The
work necessary, said no, to carry this
State for negro and Chinese suffrage is
too much for any mar to perform. To
eufranchise the inferior races would be
the hight of human folly. Are we to
be influenced by negroes and Chinamsn?
Why, they cannot govern themselves,
much less to govern US. 1t is to their
own benefit as well as to that of the
white race for them not to vote. They
do not require it for their protection.
If negroes are allowed to vote, the
Ouluhm6u Will dihO uouanu sAO oeiios'
The speaker referred to Senator Sum-
ner who had said he would welcome
colored men to seats in the Congress Of
the United States. The speaker said
although he valued life highly, yet he
did not wish to live to see such an oc-
currsnce. He said many Of his oppon-
ents were opposed to negro and Chinese
suffrage, but continued to aid the very
thing they deprecated. The issue is now
made up in California. Will the voice
of the people be 10 favor of indiscrimin-
ate suffrage, or will they decide in
favor Of continuing in that course which
is the only hope and shield to our free
institutions? Unless you reject and re-
pudiate the fallacious impartial suffrage
doctrine that is now being urged upon
the country by Il opponents, your
Government, your rights and privileges
as free liberty-loving men will have
been gone and probably forever.

the yea have been So, sO4,6ss 80. The
disbursements, including the dividends,
have been So, lbs, GIL 81. So there is
a balance Of credit to the company over
all liabilities of Sll6,0s6 81. The
amount paid out during the year to &C.
tual laborers in the mine, sums $780,
1853 60. $4,000 vas paid in State,
County and Town taxes. Assay fees,
discount and Federal tax on bullion
amounted to SlOO,s32 %. (Our mines
did not pay tax enough So says his
Intelligency.) Making q total Of tar
and assay fees of nearly $ll2, 900 for the
Yellow Jacket, for one year. The ne,
profits of the Morgan mill for one year
amount to S75,2O3 05. The Yellow
Jacket in labor wages and in purchases
of all kinds, has during the year ending
June 80, 1867, thrown over $4,000, 0oC
of circulating medium" into circula'
ton, in Western Nevada.
We wish this report, as published in
beautiful pamphlet form, could have q
general circulation. We, Of Gold Hill,
may DO and ought to be proud Of oui
mines. We ought to recognize theil
Importance and financial grandeur al
they are exhibited in annual reports
which we should preserve for reference
We ought to recognize it as u duty,
our solemn duty, as citizens having it in
our power SO to do, to protect the mines
from burdeusome and ruinous taxation.
It may DO said, "The rich mines are
well able, from their wealth, to protec,
themselves" But the experience from
last winter has shown that it may some
times be otherwise.
We congratulate the officers Of this
splendid mine upon the success Of the
work under their direction, during the
past year. The stockholders, no more
than the business men Of Gold Hill gen.
orally, will say that the superintendent
has been committed to a man whose
energy, intelligence and discretion, q.
. miner, cannot be sxcsllsd.
As the mines produce, so thrives al
the business of the county and the State,
