WEBsTrR's FAIrA.-Daniel Webster
was q firm believer in divine revelation,
and o close student Of its sacred
pages. On one occasion a small
company of select friends spent An
evening at his house. Tea over, the
Bible and the relative beauty Of Its sew
eral parts became the topic Of CONVEX
sation. When the turn came to Web
ster, he said "The masterpiece of the
New Testament, of course, is the Ser
mon on tho Mount. That has no rival
no equal. As to the Old Testament
writings, my favorito book is that OF
Habakuk, and favorite verses, chapter
ILL.,, II, 10: Although the fig tree
shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be
in the vine ; the labor Of the olive shall
fail, and the fields shall yield no meat /;
the flock shall be cut Of from the fold,
and there shall DO no herds In the
stalls; yet will I rejoice in the Lord.
I will joy in the God Of my salvation
This" continued Webster, 81 regard
as one of the sublimeIt passages Of in
spired literature, and often have I
wondered that some artist, equal to the
task, has not selected the prophet and
his scene of desolation as the subject
Of q painting"

A DEMOCRATIC newspaper editor says
that the uuascertained debt Of the Uni
ted States amounts to six billions OF
dollars. Whether this is intended to
include the Confederate debt, or only
the indefinite aggregate Of all possible
claims for war damages, w are not in
formed. As for the Confederate debt,
that is sunk deeper than ever plummet
sounded. Not wen its holders are SAN
guiuo enough to believe that it can ever
be brought to the surface, and the ut
most desire Of its friends is now limited
to the hope that the Federal debt may
be r~epudiated also. As for the war
claims, they will never be paid except
with q sponge. But why any statistician,
setting out to make a grand total Of our
debts, should confne his figures to six
billions merely, we cannot comprehend.
When ones hand is in, it is just rs easy
to make them six hundred or six thou
sand billions, and q great deal more
magnificent.

A MODERN T%RoaLoDYTE IN NApA-A
RELIGIOUS FASArIo.-Owing to psrsecu-
ton, and often to mistaken notions Of
piety, many Of the early Christians be-
came Troglodytes, living in solitary
places and practicing the most acerbic
m%acerations. Among the most famous
of these was st. Anthony and st. Style
tus, so called on account Of his standing
on the top Of his tower, which he would
do whole days, naked, exposed to the
rays Of q Syrian d and to the stings
Of poisonous insects. There appeared
in Napa, about the middle Of last week,
an individual of the strangest cut and
character ; who he is, or whence he
came, no one can tell. This modern
Troglodyte, or Casper Huuser, seems to
be Of Dutch origin. For the present be
may be seen at the County Infrmary.-

BY TELEGRAPH.
,,,c..L TO Il GOLD HILL DAILY s.w,.l
FROM

California Election Returns.
SACRAMENTO, November lathe
Overland line is still down east Of Salt
Lake. No dispatches received.
The election returns for this State,
carefully corrected from telegraphic
dispatches, official and otherwise, re-
ceived up to a late hour last night,
raise Grants majority from COG to 100.
Fifteen counties are official aud two
complete. Grant gains two votes In
Calareras, in which reports say the
official majority is 80, and loses one in
Yuba and sixteen In Santa Barbara.
Seymour gains, over the last state
ment, S. in Los Angeles, Q in San Ber-
uardino, and % 10 San Diego, but loses
80 in San Francisco, IS in Kern and
SO in Mendocino.
The figures for Humboldt remain un-
altered, though there is a report from
the Times, printed in that county, that
IL precincts have given a total vote OF
1875, and o Grant majority of 263. If
these IL precincts embrace the entire
vote Of the county, our credit to Grant
for Humboldt County is l2s too much,
and would reduce his majority in the
State from 7o9 to 6s3.
The Democrats, since the receipt Of
the returns from southern counties, &C.
knowledge that Grant has carried the
State, but refuse to give up their bets
till the Secretary Of State shall officially
announce the result.
The cars of the California Pacific
Railroad reached their terminus in
Washington, opposite this city, at 8
o'clock this evening.
A skirmish occurred in Justice Ellis
Court yesterday, between j. W. Coffroth
land n. G. Tilden. Tho lie was passed,
statutes, m~ucilage bottles, etc., thrown
at each others heads. No further dam
age was done.

GOLD ABE" SPIKlD-A CONTEMPT
BILE TRIcX.-Some Democrats who could
not stand Union music spiked "Old
Abe," the gun used by Republicans
in firing salutes. Tho cannon was kept
in No. Is house, the door to which 10
never locked. On Wednesday, after tho
reception of the news, u largo lot Of
cartridges were prepared and the gun
brought out. Upon "swabbing'' out the
piece it was found that it had been
"spiked," necessitating the drilling Of
q new hole before it could be dis
charged. On Thursday it talked all
day to the Copperheads, two or three
hundred rounds being fired. The spik-
ing Of the gun was a mean, contempti-

respectable Democrats deprecate as
much "a Republicans. The fellow who

The Democratic party has not OBJ
tanned q majority of the votes Of the
people for its candidates in any Presi-
Dental contest, with INT exception,
since 1874, when James X. Polk beat
Henry Clay. That exception was in
1852, when it elected Pierce. Though
Mr.. Buchanan received a majority Of the
electoral votes in 1856, the combined
popular vote given to Fremont and Fill
more in that contest exceeded that cast
for Buchanan by 3so,53o. In the two
last Presidential campaigns the party
was badly beaten, and his opinion was
of little value who could not see that it
was destined to an overwhelming defeat
on the Sd instant. The American
people are always right in the end-un-
less corruption robs them Of the right.

SrUBBoRNSEss.-Some time ago, when
the Oregon Legislature, through its
Democratic members, was trying to
make a fool of itself by trying to re-
scind the resolution ratifying the l4th
Amendment to the Federal Constitution,
which had been voted upon by the peo-
pie in 1866, the Republican members
resigned their seats, and left the Legis-
lature without q quorum, the Demo-
Gratis continued to hold sessions but
without doing business, and finally they
all left for home, but one Chapman, a
%gasconsding fellow, said he would sit
there till his chair rotted from under
him, and then adjourned himself next
morning, like n good boy. The Salem
Unionist, of October 3lst, thus notices

Is Grant a Drunkard /?

A portion of the Democratic press, the
Philadelphia Age among the number, never
fails to insinuate that General Grsnt is an
intemperate man when it believes it can do
him personal and political injury by the in
sinuation To show how false these accusa
tions really are, We quote from Democratic
authority. George w. Woodward, Demo
cratic Congressman from the XlIth district,
re-nominated for reelection, in speech in
Gre4t Bead, Susquehanna county, fort
night ago, said:
1T is said that General Grant is intem-
perate. | know the charge to be false My
intimate social and military associa ton with
him through nearly all of his campaigns,
leads me as an honest man, TO declare that
the worthy chieftain is not only innocent of
this unjust charge, but that he is in every
respect temperate, and in all the walks OF
life gentleman.
We hope this will satisfy the vituperative
portion of the Democratic press Bishop
Simpson some time since made similar
defence of Grant, so that We now have
prominent men in both parties who declare
on proof of their own observation, that he
is no drunkard.
