A SUCCESSFUL SKIRMIsH.-Ths De-
moeracy has been defeated, "horse,
foot"-but not the dragons" Thank
Heaven | the "dragoons are still there,
and the danger is still there. The Re-
publican party has been taught that 1t
cannot afford to be surprised in a camp
siesta-over-confdsnt in its strength,
indulging in excess, divided in %counsels.
Such temerity and folly led to its rout
last September. Now with ranks re-
arrayed, but still doubtful and d~iscour-
aged by failures elsewhere, the Union
party of California has firmly met and
repulsed the foe coming down upon it
with the prestige of recent victory
Sac. Union, Of yesterday.
And the same paper says: sour
figures warrant the belief that both
SWEET and Currey are elected-the for
mer by probably 1900, the latter by
from 800 to 900 majority"
And, of course, there is a long, sly
brag, in cipher, owe the Independent
press, and a " charge, Chester, charge ~
on radical ground again. What, think
you, has the Union to say this morning.
In proportion to the vote, the defeat OF
Currey seems to be nearly if not quite
as great as the defeat Of Gorham. Still
the cry of the Union is: "Advance the
line for Universal suffrage" Do you
mean to tell US that the Union isn't in
the pay of the Democracy?

The GREAT DEPARTING.-Senator Will
liam Mesopotamia Stewart leaves for
the East on the steamer of to-day. 1t
was his annosnced intention to have
returned to this county, and travelled
overland. But the call tor him to speak
in Austin was not great, and there was
no occasion for him to explain to the
mourners at SAT- Lake the facts upon
which the common report there in re-
gard to him is based. Besides, the
Indians might not have recognized him
in a pleasant manner Emperor Norton
yet remains. Senator Stewart starts
amid the grateful applause Of the De-
mocracy Of this coast. They undoubt-
edly sincerely and ardeutly pray that he
may return in the spring-time, and
promenade the coast as Of late. He
may call them "liars" and rotten
planks" and other pet names but he
is a privileged ally of the Democracy in
the Union camp, and knows that he is
safe in his anathsmatizing. If he can
get up another mining bill and another
town lot bill and adopt another all
creation motto, and draw on the United
States Senate Contingent for another
jar of pomade, he will do as we'll as
could be expected by the members Of
his secret negro-suffrage lodge.

AN apt and literal illustration of the
old adage that lazy people take the
most pains, is recorded in an English
paper. 1t was simply the explosion of
a hot-water bottle, but as It resulted in
the death of one person, and the serious
injury Of several others, it was consid-
cred of sufficient Importance to be
reported by the engineers Of the Man.
chester Boiler Association. The bottle
was of earthenware and had been used,
filled with hot water, to warm q sick
bed. When. it was cold, instead of
taking the trouble to unite the waved
cord which bound the cork and refllingit
with hot water, the attendants put / into
the oven to be heated. In q short time
the bottle exploded, the over door was
torn off and fragments Of iron and pot
terry were thrown into the room with
such violence as to wound three per-
sons, one dying the next day. This
incident not only carries a direct lesson
in regard to hot-water bottles, but
showing a violent explosion from the
slow and gradual accumulation of steam
pressure, gives warning .that.household
boilers, to be free from danger, should
be fitted with either movable covers or
safety valves, to relieve the impercepti-
BILE but excessive pressure $50 likely to
accumulate.

CHARGES OF THE RAILRoAD.-The Ba-
letin is informed that there is much com.
plant in Nevada county, relative to al
legged unjust determinations by the
Dutch Flat Railroad Company, in tho
matter of freight charges. The S. r.
Bulletin adds:
It is said that. while, ~ostensibly, all
persons freighting oyer the road are
charged alike So per ton, yet some are
allowed t o call at the office in Sacra-
mento at tho end of each month and re-
ceive back So per ton on all goods sent
over the road for them. The Company
at this time is said to be forwarding
goods for Moore's Flat at Sc per ton,
while the Nevada merchants pay So
without any drawback. Some of the
Nevada firms complain that their bust
ness has been crippled by this discrim-
nation. If the facts are as stated,
there would seem to be ground for dis
satisfaction, and we mention the COM
plant made by a correspondent in order
to afford an opportunity for explanation,
if any mistake has been made, as is pos
sible in such cases. It ought to be con-
sidered to the interest of an enterprise
so largely built by public aid, to deal on
liberal and impartial principles with all.

JuDIcIALLY CHRIsrEsrD A CITY.-The
subjoined is from the opinion of Chief
Justice Beatty, Of our Supreme Court,
in the case of Samuel @. Wright, appel
liant vs.. John Cradlebsugh, respondent.
The good people of Carson will feel
great repose, undoubtedly, over tie de-
cision. Lawyers throughout the civil
lied globe will admire the reasoning Of
this opinion. Let no one ~profanely
smile while perusing the following. 1t
is Justice Beatty who speaks:
In the first place, we think Carson

but that, we think, does not prevent its
being a city. On all the maps of the
country it is marked as q city it is gen.
orally known as q city ; II is called q city

adopts it as the seat of Government, and
In several legislative acts il is called q
city. We know Of no reason why we
should say it is not a city. If we 20 to
the books for a definition of a city, we
scarcely find any two of them agreeing
on what is q city. We are content to
call that a city which is 90 called by the
constitution and statutory laws of the
State. Even If Carson were not q eitv,
it is a place laid of into squares and

THE editor of the Suffer County Ban
ner says that Sacramento is destined to
be a place of business and not a frog
pond" The Sacramento papers consid-
or this complimentary. There is a
great deal Of honesty in the hope any
way" that it shall not be always what
it now it is" might be the interpreta-
ton. Here is from a recent number of
the Stockton Gazette: When Sacrn-
mento gets hold of a good thing she
likes to keep it. In this respect she is
not unlike other cities and other men,
the only difference being that she can
hold on to the good thing with the
tenacious grip Of n drowning man.
There is II natural cause for this Sac
ramento herself being u drowning city.
\ = When the evil days come upon
you, and the pluvial dispensatiou drives

any kind of liquor and be guiltless Of
the sin Of intsmperance. But there is
great danger, especially in large cities,
that even cheap and good wine would
be adulterated the moment 1t came into
general use. In France many a restau-

sale at six cents per bottle, does not
scruple to trife with it, that he may in
crease his profits on the slender franc
which the Frenchman expends for his
breakfast. But this never occurs out

America cheap; let us take care to have
it excellent. A very few years will suf-
fee to put it within every ones reach

should recede before it. Beer, popular
as it is in America, can never take a
