STARTLING REVELATION ABOUT THE MAIL
caRRYINc.-The Virginia Enterprise says
=. Parties who have lately arrived in this city
from the Atlantic States, by way of the
Overland route. state that sacks of newspaper
mail are to be seen lying along the road every
where between the western terminus Of the
Upion Pacific and the eastern terminus of the
Central l-Pacific Railroad. Robert NJ. Black.
the velI-known boot and shoe man. of this
city. who arrived here by the Overland route
last week. says that be saw bags of newspa-
per mail lying in the road in many places.
where they had fallen from the coaches, and
that the drivers never stopped to pick them
up-tbat they did not even stop when they
fell off their own coaches, though informed
of the fact. John Ainley. employed in Bak-
er's tin shop, in this city. who came OTer-
land about the same time, tells the same
story in regard to the carelessness Of drivers
and others on the Overland route as to the
newspaper nail One of these gentlemen
we believe Mr.. ..Black-says at the western
terminus Of the Union Pacific Railroad. when
the mails were thrown out of the cars upon
the platform to be transferred to the coaches
some one in authority said to those engaged
in handing the mails. Put those letter bags
aboard the stages and take that newspaper
trash down to the stable Judging from the
we hear, most of the newspaper
trash appears to remain in the stable

SusPICIoUs--A few days ago an Indian
discovered the hide. head and feet Of a COW
the site of the old Four Mile House. On
learning these facts number of stock own.
ers visited the shaft, got the remains of the
dead animal out, and endeavored to ascer
tain BY marks and brands who it belonged
to. The manner in which the remains were
concealed shows that the animal was killed
by some one who did not own it. Several
head of cattle and hogs have disappeared very
mysteriously in that neighborhood during th,
past year, and stock owners are disposed t,
try and ferret out where they go TO.

Pr RIVERA prospecting party has
lately explored the country around Ooost
Lake and the head of Pit River. The land IN
Goose Lake Valley is described as very ter
tile, and capable of supporting large asri-
cultural population. Pit River was pros
pected from its head to Big Bend. above Fort
Crook, without finding more than one or two
small ''colors" TO the pan. An extensive
bed of coal was found about fifteen miles
above the Fort. and specimens of it burned
finely, proving it to be of excellent quality.
In one place the river has cut channel
through this coal bed, showing strata OF
pure coal FIVE feet in thickness. Game, such
as deer, antelope, rabbits. geese, ducks, sage
hens and pIover. was found in abundance.
Large and delicious wild plums were found
in profusion on upper Pit River. These
plums are of two varieties, red and yellow.
as large as hens eggs, and grow on bushes
four or FIVE feet high.

The Shasta CoURIER was fierce after Hart
son when he received the nomination, be.
cause, after having been defeated for the
same offer before the people by the weakest
man in the district, he insisted upon q re-
nomination. notwithstanding that he was told
that bis election was doubtful while others
could be chosen by fine majority. 1t then
supported him and now it is after the Union
party for its folly in putting him in the
field. No man should be allowed to force
himself upon the party, as Harrison did in
both those nominations Of 1867 and 1867
The time has come in California, that who
ever does so will be defeated and the time
has come, too. for Union men to say to these
egotists that they shall not be forced upon the
party We have no doubt. and the best in
formed Union men of that district have no
doubt. that Charles Westmoreland could have
been elected by large majority. and they
believed so at the time of the primaries,
while they doubted Hartson's ability to carry
it. But there is no use in weeping over
spilled milk, although it is wisdom to ascer-
tain the cause of the disaster, so that future
slips may be avoided The fault is as much
with the Union men of that district as Ut Is
with Harrison. They should have been bold
in their declarations, while they were timid
They were afraid of offending somebody. ana
therefore they permitted the party to be de,
feated This milk and water Unionlsm Will
not do The free fair choice of the people
must be nominated. Trade and trickery Will
not be tolerated. Both now and last year 1t
has been repudiated and in this, the future
will be like the past.-.Sac. Bee.

REcnNsrRUcTIoS.-A telegraph dispatch
states that since the election of Grant and
Colfax large number of Northern capitalists
have gone to North and South Carolina for
the purpose of purchasing lands, to be d.
vided up into small farms and sold to North
ern and Eastern colonists. We are glad to
see this movement inaugurated. and have no
doubt it will become general throughout the
South. Cot the large plantations of the
South up into small farms. and that section
of the country will soon be settled up by in
dustrious Northerners, who will introduce
their work shops, factories, free schools and
newspapers. and thus complete the work of
practical and permanent reconstruction.
With such a population engrafted into the
South, rebellions will be no more thought of
DEMOCRATIC HoNEsTY.-Over forty Demo-
Gratis were registered in Santa Cruz precinct
previous TO the election. on the strength OF
naturalization papers since proved to be

Judge refused to naturalize number of ap-
pllcants upon the testimony adduced, and in
two hours thereafter they went before the
County Clerk with papers purporting to have
been issued out of the Fourth District Court.

auent examination revealed the fact that
these papers were dated Sunday October |,

More Causes of Blood Poison.

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing an accelerated
motion to the blood. Grief, fear and anxiety burt
by making the blood to circulate slower. Both
causes may produce serious evils to the health
unless prevented by timely aid. Here we are ad
monished of the superior advantages of BRAND
RErHs Pills. For if the blood goes too fast, from
nervous or other causes they allay the turmoil and
are healing balm to the brain. While, should the
blood circulate too slowly, tnting the skin with
dark hue, they at relieve the blood of its ex
cess of carbon; thus they relieve the mind and re-
store the health. Should an organ be weaker than
the rest, these impure matters from the blood will
be deposited This is the way Jumps boils, tumors,
cartuncles, are produced. All are cured, often
prevented, by the use of BRASsRErH's Pills.
