Mr.. f. Baiy is quite an artist. Although alto
gether self-taught, his paintings exhibit great
talent, and would compare Eavornbly with those
of our best artists. He is an amateur only, and
he paints for his own amusement and recreation.
1 think his painting Of the Wailuku Valley a
masterpiece of landscape painting, and that of
the mountain view and the peak called the Needle
is but little inferior. Iwould recommend him by
all means to spare more time in painting the
beautiful landscapes of Maui. while their freshness
and beauty are yet unmarried by the hand of man.
What magnificent subject for his pencil would
be the grand mountain dome of Halcakela? ? But
as intend to ride there tomorrow, will close

House BuRNERs.-It will be remembered

| HOUSE BuRNERs.-It will be remembered
by the property owner of this town, that on
the night of October 26th, incendiaries (who
are nothing less than sneaking murderers)
set fire to, and burned the building occupied
by, Al. Rollins. Afterwards another "good
job" was put up to burn the acid factory,
but the police of Carson, getting wind of the
affair, we're on hand, and "nipped" the
two rascals who, by torch and coal oil, would
lay our town in ashes. Their names are
Fudge and Gray. They we're placed in Jail,
and, on examination, held to answer before
the next Grand Jury Of this county in
the sum OF $1,000 each. Yesterday our
newly elected Justice of the Peace, Judge
Waltz, revoked the decision made by Judge
Mckeeby, and reduced the bonds of Gray to
$1,000. The amount was deposited in the
bank, and Gray is at large to await such
action as the Grand Jury may take. The
other house burner is still in charge of the
Sheriff; but if good, kind and sympathetic
friends will come to his rescue, he too may |
get out on ST 900 bail, and be at liberty
q gain to lay waste the property and lives of
our people.

ENGLISH Prisons - HoRRoRs OF THE
SILENT SYsTEM.-Mr. James Greenwood has
published here a frightful account of the
silent system, which is in operation at the
Holloway Model Prison in London
1t is an offense for prisoner to speak one
word, and he was never addressed except in
whispers, so that he may be in the prison for
two years without hearing the natural sound
of a human voice The effect of this is so
terrible on the mind that prisoners will speak
out in desperation at the risk of any punish
ment, rather than endure that horrible
silence. The prisoners never see one an
other, but remain in perpetua! solitude. One
months solitude and silence, recklessly broke
out in Mr.. Greenwood's presence in these
words: For Gods sake, governor, put me
in another cell Put me somewhere else

till my eyes ache ~ The request of the tor
tured wretch was refused.
There is fine hole in each cell, and as
the warders wear shoes with India rubber
soles, the prisoner can never be sure that he
is alone. Those condemned to the treadmill
have to ascend twelve hundred steps every
alternate twelve minutes, for six hours And
this in a place so hot and close that prisoners
often lose in perspiration three stone in as
many monthsl Every day the prisoners are
taken to chapel so arranged that they can
see no one save the chaplain, and him only
through an iron grating. And this is the

THE END OF THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

We have held to the opinion tina
with the election of Grant, the Demo
cratic party, as an organization seeking
to control our national affairs, would
be forever obliterated All the signs oil
the times justify the correctness of this
conclusion. The only nucleus upon
which that party can rally again is its
Tammany center. But Tammany hav-
ing made catspaw of the party for the
sake of saving to itself the plumber of
New York offices, having made Seymour
a bob to Hoffman 5 kite having slaugh-
tered Blair and the Southern and PEN
dleton and the Western leaders, all for
its own greedy ends, having "played !"
its own party, in fact, Tammany can no
longer unite under its banners, the great
" Unterri6ed." Slavery is dead, and
negroes stand about its tomb with bal
lots in their hands Secession is whip
ped out of the politics of the Republic
the Chivalry is smashed to atoms.
There is something weak and pitiful in
the " unanimous proposition of Alex
ander H. Stephens 4 Co. :; all the more
pitiful because it is the death rattle of
Democracy.

t THE OREGON LEGIsLATURE-AN ExPLA-
NATIoN.-I is reported that the Republican
members of the Oregon Legislature resigned
and left that body without a quorum be-
cause they discovered that the Democrats
had determined to remove Governor Woods.
As the Democrats had working majority,
| and as it was generally believed they would
| carry out their purpose in defiance of all
law and right, the withdrawal of the Repub-
lican members was thought to be the only
sure way of averting the mischief. 1t was
accordingly resolved upon but previous to
carrying out the plan, in order not to en-
barass the State Government, three separate
attempts were made to pass the Appropria-
ton bill, the failure Of waich must be entire
ly attributed to the opposition of the Demo-
Gratis. who appear to have been resolved that
no important BUSINESS should be trans acted
until they had accomplished their object.
The session was, of course, brought to an
end, and the anger of the disappointed De
mocracy in being thus cleverly baked in this
nefarious plot is said to be very greats.

the worst of the battle all along; but it was
evident that the referee would be killed if he
decided in favor of Gallagher, who repeat
edly charged foul play upon Elliott; but the
referee feared to allow the claim, and finally
after promiscuous clinching and fighting
without regard to the rules, the referee gave
his decision in favor of Elliott.

Ineligible to Office, and all the

THE APPROACHING EARTHQUAKE.-The
New York Atlas has some misgivings con-
corning the California earthquake. Itthinks
that it will be the turn of New York, OF per-
haps the whole Atlantic coast, next. The
editor, as if with fear and trembling, asks:
Have we not been warned of approaching
misfortune of the character to which we are
referring2 Undoubtedly. Not longer than
two weeks ago two g smart" earthquake
shocks were felt in Virginia, and the chiv-
airy became veritable quakes. If the Ameri-
can seaboard ever catches blow of this
kind, it will be an earnest one; and what if
such blow really impends? What if the
vague hints and predictions Of biologists and
other men of science as to marvellous changes
about to take place on the globe be true
What if the theologists who rest from in
spired prophecy the promise of speedy de-
struc;ion of sublunary goods and chattels
have aimed at one target and hit another
What if chaos is really to come again, and
render all our plans and hopes and fame and
wealth, and our struggles for aggrandize-
ment, nugatory and of no earthly account
The idea is pregnant with suggestive reAec-
ton. Let us take another week to it.

DOCKING OF THE COLORADO
From the San Francisco Times

From the San Francisco Times
| Even had ii not been intended to dock he1
this trip, we believe she would have been
taken out now, for the purpose of more fully
, investigating the slight jar which she re-
ceived at sea just before entering this port
on Monday last. There is something mys-
FERROUS about the occurrence which has puz-
zled many nautical brain. On the morn
ing of the 9th inst, in broad daylight and
fine clear weather, the steamship, then on
her passage from Panama 10 San Francisco
and in full sight of the Heads, experienced a
shock which for 4 moment created some
little excitement among the passengers.
That she had not run ashore was palpablv
evident by the distance from land-three
niles and the charts show that no shoal
exists anywhere in the vicinity. The locality
was of Point Pillars in San Mateo county,
and from y 10 II fathoms are the soundingS
laid down. Besides, innumerable steam
ships have passed over that very spot for
years and always found ample depth Of,
water. Some experienced yoyager, having
in m ind similar occurrences at sea suggested
a marine earthquake nut as nothing OF tie
kind was at that time felt on the land, that
theory had to be abln Toned. That the ship .
had touched something was beyond a Go,ot +
either 4 sunken wreck or log. or tree, or
other obstacle. 1t is possible that the re-
cent earthquake may have developed a shoal
at that place, but until soundincs are taken
the fact cannot be ascertained. Captain
Lapridge, well known as one Of the most
capable and reliable Of comman-
hers, was on deck at the time. and failed to
discover the slightest evidence of shoal
water, or agitation on the ocean. The
give very bold water almost up to
he shore along the coast at that point.
On the arrival of the steamer at her
wharf, a diver, encased in submarine armor,
vas sent down, who reported sheet of cop
yer wrinkled up and the wood slightly chafed
or a small space. 1t will always probably
emain mystery as to what it was the
teamer touched.

During the Fail bet was consummated
between 4. ]. Rhoades, of this city, and
Common, of Brighton, the latter putting up
pair of holses and wagon against 800 in
gold coin, that Seymour would carry the

this city, and the money was placed in pro-
Per hands. Connor was confident of victory
felt certain of winning the 800. Yester-
day, however, he came to the city. went be-
fore the proper authorities and asked for a
writ OF repleven for the recovery of his
team. The writ Gin accordance with the

over TO the sneaking Democrat, who would
