hotel, and those occupying stores in the build
ing, and also the value of the wines, groceries,
and other stores destroyed in the cellars, the
aggregate amount must reach over one million
and half of dollars.
The loss on the building is stated by a COM
petent authority at about 5000, 600, and on the
furniture between $500, 600 and $500, coo.
We did not learn the value of the property
saved, but il must form but an uncomfortable
fraction of that destroyed. In the ABSENCE
however, of definite information, we postpone
a detailed estimate of the total loss for the
present.
1t is stated that there were about four hun
dred guests in the hotel at the time of the fire.
III Is somewhat premature as yet to specu-
late as to whether the Lindell will ever rise
from Its ashes in its original splendor and
beauty. The regret caused by the destruction
Is universal among our citizens, and there is a
widespread desire to see it rebuilt. We heard
yesterday not few of our prominent citizens
freely discuss the question, and the general
conviction seemed to exist that ere long some
definite plan would be set on foot towards re-
storing to our city the grand adonment con-
sumed by flames.
We certainly hope such may be the case.
There are few of our citizens who could view
with satisfaction the broad square once occu-
pied by the stately Lindell devoted to paltry
houses and stores. Should the edifce not be
TeDullJ, II IS lulpOSblDle 10 estimate 10 WndJ
extent property may depreciate in that section
of the city, and the effect on the community
at large. A great deal of the iron work, etc,
would be available were the house to be re-
built, and we heard it stated by a competent
authority yesterday, that, with the material
thus remaining, the foundation being intact,
the hotel could be rebuilt for between 100000
and $700,000.
This, however, is question for those di-
rectly interested to determine. Ere long we
presume the enormous ruins of the burned
building which now disfgure one of our chief
thoroughfares will disappear before the recu-
perative energy Of our citizens But whether
the Lindell rises again on its former site OF
not, the great fire of the night of the Both OF
March, 1867, will never be forgotten. 1t is
sad to think of the dire havoc done in a single
night-of the grace and beauty ruined. But,
coupled with such misfOrtunes, there is a
teaching which goes to make the community
WISER and to insure against the recurrence OF
such a disaster in the future.

How KENTUCKY WAS DEFEATED.-The
| New York Sun, in some remarks on the
failure of Kentucky to win the race
against time, says:
"The policy Of running a fresh horse
| so far q distance ahead, as was done in
this case, to encourage Kentucky, was
Yesterday conceded to be n bad one ;
that is, at the latter part Of the race.
On the first two miles DeCourccy and
Luther certainly urged him to extraor-
binary efforts but when at the last
mile a fresh horse was started a quarter
of a mile ahead Of him, it had quite the
opposite from tho desired effect. 1t
must be remembered that these noble
animals are quite as sensitive to dis
couraging demonstrations as encourag-
ing ones. 1t is a we'll known fact that
many of the most celebrated horses that
have graced the English turf, if they
once led their horses, could never DO
approached on the other hand, if they
got behind on the start, they would give
up the race in despair, and all the efforts
Of consummate jockeyship could not
urge them toswin the race. Horses I'M
derstand and take almost as much in
terest in the races Us human beings, and
their craftiness and anxiety to get tho
start is often evinced. Many we'll known
sports, gentlemen who mako the train
ing of horses their business, remarked
yesterday that if the last horse had kept
neck and neck with Kentucky he would
have made several seconds better time
than was the case, which is certainly q
sensible conclusion"

PROBABLY CAPruRED.-Betwcen one
and two o'clock yesterday afternoon
Chief Martz received tho following dis
patch: "Shinglc Springs, November 10,
1861. Shall l arrest J. B. Clark, the
confidence man | Signed, JIG. Bailey.
Nartz replied at once, directing tho ar
rest to be made, and stating TINT he
would send up an officer to bring the
prisoner down. He then called upon
Il. Hamilton and requested him to swear
out o warrant in order that the prisoner
could be legally brought from ElDorado
county. Hamilton seemed disinclined
to comply with the request, and thought
Martz had better wait for the arrival OF
Himrod from Chico, and get him to
make the affidavit. He evidently feared
that if Clark were brought back to the
city he would borrow another twenty
from him, and seemed willing to let by
cones be bygones. Chief Martz was
persistent, however, and procuring the
affidavit aud warrant sent officer Harvey
to Single Springs by the afternoon
train. Nothing further on the subject
was known in the city last evening. If
there was no mistake made by Bailey
as to the man, and If the arrest was
made, officer Harvey will arrive with the
prisoner by this mornings train.-Sae.

CHINESE TESTIMONY. The Nevada
Transcript, of November IL, referring to
a case in hat city in which the question
of the admissibility Of Chinese testimony
came up, says:
Yesterday morning George Washing
ton (colored), charged with rohbing
Cinnamon, was brought before the
County Court to plead. Williams, Mt.
tornsy for defendant, made q motion to
quash the indictment, on the ground
that the testimony upon which it was
procured from tho Grand Jury was in
competent, being Chinese. The counsel
stipulated that the question of the ad-
instability of this testimony should DO
tried without prejudice to tho main qucs-
ton of the guilt or Innocence Of the de-
PENDANT. The question is important, as
it involves the applicability Of the Civil
Rights law to this State. The question
will be argued in the County Court to-
day.
