TnE REsuLT.-The Marysville appeal, discuss

TIE REsuLr-The Marysville appeal, discuss
ing the late elections and its results, says:
"The Republican party of California has been
in demoralzed condition since the nomination
of Gorham and the election of Governor Haight.
It is true the State voted for Grant and Cofax,
but the Congressional vote of the same election
showed majority against the Republicans.
During the last year it has been manifest that
the Republican leaders were badly estranged.
The struggle between Senator Cole on one side,
and Sargent, Gorham, and their adherents on
the other, for superiority at Washington, has been
pressed with much vigor and bitterness. X
The agitation of the Senatorial question WAS a
silly movement. and the leaders who exercis ed
their wits and laid their traps must feel quite
dispusted with their Don Quixotte battle with
the winds.
The Republican party of California, it seems
to us, cannot expect to achieve many more vic
tories as now organized. Its true policy is to
urge the war faction within the Democratic
party to take high and progressive stand, and
force division. The Bourbon Democracy, now
standing upon the old platform Of State rights
and still fighting against the inevitable results
of the war-universal sufrage-must be beaten
and to achieve this great political regenera-
tion-to wipe out the last vestige of the spirit OF
the rebellion-it is imperative to 60 into the ranks
of the Democracy to find our weapons. feud
will soon break out in the Democratic camp.
The party in this State is too strong to hold to-
gether Republican principles must prevail.
The revolution is not going backward. They
will be sustained even III the name OF the De-
mocracy.n

The Political Situation in the State.

1t is fairly debatable question whether the
news from all parts OF the State is really favor
able to the Democracy or not. Were matters as
they claim them to be the Republican party
would certainly be very badly of, but we know
the Democracy Of old: when did they ever lose
point by not claiming enough? Now what are
the facts? The Democratic party most undoubt
edly have the control of the next Legislature,
and, in some counties heretofore Republican,
mixed ticket has been elected. We know of
nothing more to be said ON the Democratic side.
On the other hand, it appears that there has
been heavy falling off in the vote, probably
caused from a want of exertion on the part of
Republicans where they were in the ascendency.
1t was to be expected that the stay-at-homes
would be most on our side, for the regularity
and persistence with which Democrats attend
the polls has long since become a political
axiom. Moreover, we had reason to believe
that the remainder of those who came to us
camp followers in the hour of triumph, impelled
to DO so solely through motives of cupidity and
lust for political distinction, now that there
at least an uncertainty of our success, and more
particularly such of them as we had failed to
aggrandise and distinguish, would fall away at
this time. We do not believe the " "raw-head
and bloody-bones Outcry about the fifteenth
amendment, had much to do with the result.
There may have been voters who were influenced
by their understanding of this question against
us, but are of those who have too much faith
in the intelligence of the people to entertain the
idea for moment that they can be swayed by
any such miserable clap-trap put forward
The losses however have aot been altogether
the Republican side. Tuolumne, always consid-
cred Democratic Gibraltar, has been stormed
and exhibits large Republican gains. In San
Francisco, upon whose heavy majorties against
the liberal progressive sentiments of the age so
much reliance was placed, the proscriptive
party in power has lost about all of the city admin
istraton worth fighting for. We believe the
moral effect OF this election will be beneficial
than otherwise While it will embolden the
Democrats it may possibly stimulate them to
take their stand upon some clearly defined pol
icy, thing that they have not dared to do since
they pronounced the war a failure. That is
what we want. If they will only come out and
doubtful. A straightforward, manly opposition
will unite US and kill off side issues. Let every
Republican do his duty hereafter, taking every
measure of preparation and another campaign
will tell different tale.

MALACHI Summit, Utah. sixty miles Forth of
Corinne, at midnight, August 3lst. Eight men,
closely masked, stopped the COACH and assured

compelled the driver to deliver the treasure box
in care of the express company, containing about

sengers courteously and made off with the spoils.
The passengers had an aggregate of sac, 900 on

The South Africa Gold Mines.

A. @. Lobbett, an adventurous Nevada miner.
who happened to be ia London when the exciting
reports of rich gold fields in the central portion
of Southern Africa reached England, made an
attempt to reach the district, but having failed,
has returned and given some account Of his ex-
periences He sailed for the English colony of
Natal. and set out from the coast with small
party with OK teams. They travelled over some
five hundred miles, being about three months on
their way The march was full of adventure,
and they encountered not little peril and dis
comfort from the savage men and beasts that
surrounded them. They passed through the
Trans-vaa republic ian independent nation form
ed by disconnected Boors,) and entered the
Bechnana country. Worn out and detected,
they halted at last amid the rugged mountains
on the banks of the Fati river. But On looking
about them they found that there was no cause
for utter disappointment after all. 1t is true
they did not reach the ultimate object of their
search-the gold-bearing placers of the valleys
of the Fati river but the quartz districts around
them were filled with a marvellously rich ore,
that yielded from one to three ounces OF gold
per ton. All these specimens seen teemed wft4
great quantities of free gold But it was no con-
ISOLATION to them to see all this wealth, with not
the faintest hope of getting at it. 1t was like
the cup of Tantaus, for they had not single
quartz-crusher with them, aud knew not where to
get any without retracing their long and dreary
road to Port Natal. They had still another OBJ
stacle to contend against in getting at the gold
The Kafirs of this region, unlike the fabulous
sayages in the tales of the old captains of
former days, appreciate the part that the yellow
metal plays in the world, and guard the quartz
districts and rich placers most jealousy. Forty
thousand warriors of the Mosee Kateke katirs
lie encamped in single kraal in the heart OF
the gold fields, keeping off all intruders. Ger
tain exceptions seem to have been made, how
ever, for Lobbett mentioned having met Sir John
Swinburne, of the Limpopoco, en- route tor the
gold fields, with ten wagons and a SIX stamp
mill with engines, amalgamators, etc. He also
met Mr.. Mauch, the German geologist and A1ri-
can explorer, who showed him large number
of rich specimens that be had been allowed or
somehow managed to procure. Lobbett, how
ever, and his friends were not treated SO cour-
teously, and giving up all hope, fnaly, of sue
ceeding in this venture at least, they turned
their footsteps toward the coast, which they
reached a short time ago. Their accounts OF
the marvellous wealth bound up in these
districts have set the wits of the Pochefstromians
a wool gathering. Little else is talked about
Expeditions are hourly being planned various
inventors are studying the details of patent
machines that will probably never exist but in
their maginations and not few talk of ap-
pealing to the English government for aid in
securing the gold and keeping off the wild
Kalfirs, who cannot get at the gold themselves,
and will allow no Others to do 80.

THE IRISH QUESTION IN NEW PHRAsE.-lre-
land had hardly got rid of one hierarchy TIL we
find another clamoring for special privileges
The Archbishop of Dublin, backed by all the
Catholic Bishops of Ireland, are demanding
separate endowment for educational purposes
That is, they wish to have a school and college
system purely Roman Catholic, supported from
the pubc money. In short, the Irish Cathollcs
are on the same track with those in the United
States, who cannot bear to send their children to
the public free schools lest their religion may
suffer from the progress of free thought, and SO
thev demand exclusive Catholic teachers 1or
Catholic children, and threaten those with the
tbunders of the church who refuse to aid them IN
this pious devotion. The London Times very
plainly informs the Archbishop and Bishops that
England is not prepared to take this STEP ana
that it is contrary to the spirit of the age, ana
demand which the freedom of religious op'n--
ion cannot tolerate. The Church OF England
hierarchy was not broken up merely to enable
another, owing allegiance to foreign potentate,
to plant itself more firmly on Irish soil, and we
don't believe Gladstone, or Bright, or any Brlton
who was conspicuous in reforming the one abuse,
will lend himself to the other. The Catholics of
Ireland, like those of the United States, must
take their chances with all other religious de-
nominations, and then if they succeed in prose-
| lytzing the youth Of the country, it will be a
proof of the intrinsic merits of their faith Sac
rdniento Union.

ExRAGED AND THREArENISG.-The irrepressible
fight between the Irish wing of the Democracy
and the Chivalry wing has broken out again
with increased ardor. 1t is charged by the
prominent Irish politicians that the Chvalry not
only failed to support McCoppin at the late cleo
tion but they used all of their influence to defeat
him. We have reason to believe that the charge
is true. The Irish are greatly wrought up by
this treacherous detection and swear vengeance.
They threaten to do all in their power to prevent
the election of Wallace and Provines-both
Chvalry candidates for the Judiciary: Should
they persist in their avowed determination of
lea talionis, the result cannot be doubtful. We
shall then be spared the disgrace of elevatng to
the Supreme bench person lacking the qualiii-
cations of ;urist, and who, it is claimed, is
favorable to certain gigantic schemes that will
come before that august tribunal for adjudica-
ton. We shall also be relieved from the norti-
fcation Of seeing the snowy ermine soiled by
partisan decisions in our district courts. Such
consummation is deyoutly to be wished for,
and it would be q just retribution on the heads
of the Chivalry for their treachery to ther Irish
colleag es,-Saa Francisco Chronicle.
