The Overman and Daney have jumped.
And there are "vaguc rumors" of the
striking of the undoubted wall of the
Gold Hill ledge in the Belchcr. o, if
Belcher on the south and Sierra Nevada
on Cedar Hill only would strike the
ledge Ah-0l Please don't mention
wha. "little Story county" would be
then. We are confident thcy will strike
it; but may be not this season.
PROBABLE SPLIT IN THE UNION
PARTY IN CALIFORNIA.
The Sacramento Union and the Peoples
Partyjournal at the Bay as we prophesied
they would, now give clear warning
that they will "bolt' the nomination
of George Gorham, if made BY the State
Convention. So far as the Bay papers
are concerned this is Of small moment.
Blu. the threat Of the Sacramento Union
is ominous Of bad results. That paper
has u very extensive circulation, and a
crea, influence among the extreme Rad
icals rs we'll as moderate Union men.
It is now edited by a brilliant Bohemian,
by the name Of Watson, who has really
redeemed the former Swamp Land col
umu of the paper, so that a regular crop
| Of cereal thoughts is regularly raised
where formerly the green garglc Of the
croakiug frog was alone visible. Be-
sides, the Union has recently taken a
stand against the Dutch Flat monopoly,
which, if not affected or only Temporal
rily assumed from its hostility to Con-
ness, must ultimately inure largely to
its benefit as an organ Of control among
the masses. The Union Of yesterday
says that the result Of the San Francis
co Primaries ''gives Gorham and his
friends, who are about as deserving Of
an office as the California gang that
gathered around General Fremont in
Missouri, control Of the County Con-
v~eution and probably sixty-three votes
in the State Convention" 1t says that
the Democrats voted the Gorham ticket,
(which was shrewd policy for them, as
they knew that the nomination Of the
redoubtable George by u Union Con-
v~entiou would give an honest Democrat
a frst-rate chance Of success in Septem-
ber." This iss very significant SEN
tence. This 10 the first time in seven
\ that the Onion has conceded that
"Democrat" had a right to II respect
able adjective. Rosecrans is evidently
now in the minds eye Of the Union.
But here follows q most uumistakable
declaration of a "rule or bolt" resolu-
ton on the part Of the "London Tmes''
Of the Pacific:
"Mauy bad things have been done in
the nam Of loyalty, and bad men have
crept into public place under the folds
Of the national flag. But, if we are not
mistaken, the people Of California will
pause and ponder u considerable time
before they will consent to install n
horde Of ~plunderers at the State Capital
and add several millions TO the State
debt, simply because the greedy spoils-
men manage a Union Convention. &.
The admission Of the Union delegation
from Sacramento would end the fight
for Governor and lay Gorham on the
shelf. The interior counties haze the
power TO accomplish this result.
"This work must be done, if the in
tegrity Of the Union party is to be pre-
served and a ticket nominated which is
not doomed to defeat. The loyal organi-
cation which has so long controlled the
State has reached the crisis Of its deS-
tiny. 1t is to be saved or lost in the
Convention Of the 10Th Of June. 1t is to
prove itself worthy to live and rule or
to break out with such sore eruption as
to show a hopeless case Of disease, sug-
gestive of an early descent into the
tomb"
We ardently hope that there will be
no such disaster as the Union progros-
t~icates, but if the Union party must lose
a gubernatOrial campaign, in California,
because of refusal to nominate such an
old blk as Bidwell, the temporary de-
feat is not to be deprecated as the worst
of evils that are SO suggested. If Bid
we'll "horde" would not add as many
millions to the State debt as Gorham's
"horde," then it would be because the
former found a new mode Of taxation by
which millions" were supplied the
State Treasury in advance Of unusual
drafts.
We really feel confident that Gorham
will be nominated and elected; but, at
the same time, we confess to misgivings
about it. The California signs Of the
times" for the Union party, are
"cloudy in the west"
