ELECTION FIGUREs.-At the Presi-
dental election the total vote of Shasta
County was 1874, of which Seymour re-
eeived $50. AT the election held Septem-
Der lst, 1869 the total vote polled was 1144
"a falling off of 80 votes The vote for
Hull, stood 544, Kennedy SAT, Cook 55S,
which figures may be fairly taken as indi-
cation of the strength of the Democratic
party in this County. The highest vote
polled by either of these candidates exceeds
that given Seymour but ballots, and the
vote given each Of the others mention
ed show that the Democracy have fell
slightly behind since the Presidential cleo
ton. But the majority of the 80 votes
lost since 1865, were Republicans who
have left the County, and their departure
accounts for the principal falling off Of the
Union vote. Many Democrats remained
in the county for the sole purpose of voting
this year, under the belief that the entire
Democratic ticket could be elected by poll
ing full party vote, together with the as
sistance of the soreheads. Having moth
ing further to keep them here many of
these men are preparing to leave the coun-
ty either this fall or next spring, and the
indications are that there will be a heavier
decrease in the Democratic than in the
Republican vote two years from now
One of the Democratic rustlers of this
County remarked to us this week that since
they had failed to make clean sweep, as
sisted by the Fifteenth Amendment, he
weakened, and gave the county up as hav-
ing a permanent Republican majority,
against which the Democracy as now organ
lied, could never win.

LAND SuRvEY,-Col. Magee was recent
ly authorized by the .. S. Surveyor Gen.
eral, to survey the lands laying in certain
townships in this County. He has already
surveyed and sectionized several townships
on each side of the Sacramento, and is still
at work. We understand that the land
extending from Shasta to Clear Greek in
the direction of Horsetown and Texas
Spring was surveyed this week, and that
Stump Ranch, Quartz Hill and Buckeye
country will be surveyed next These
lands will be open to entry at Government
prices next spring, subject to the claims of
pre-emptors, who will have the first right
of entry.

RAILRoAD.-The Alta copied our rail-
road article of the 1lth, and in comment
ing on the subject remarked:
" A railroad from Shasta to Red Bluff
would probably be good piece of property,
if it were certain to be secure from conpe-
tition of any near parallel line with greater
resources. If the California and Oregon
Road were built only five or ten miles away
it would, on account of its connection, take
large part of the trade, and perhaps not
leave enough to sustain the Shastg and
Red Bluff line"
In our article we did not advocate the
simple building of road from Red Bluff
to Shasta, but endeavored to show the ad-
vantages of extending the California and
Oregon Railroad to, and through this town,
on the line of the original Elliot Survey
We want the California and Oregon road
to pass through here on its way to the
Oregon line, and if we fail to get our first
wish, then we are going in as strong as
possible for an extension of the Vallejo
road to this point

New DIGG1NGs ZIP NoRru -Tbe

NEW DIGGINGs UP NoRTH.-The Idaho
City World states that Jacob Romer. lust
in from Orc Grande, says this will prove
one of the richest and most extensive dis
tricts yet discovered. The best claims has
been taken up by the first crowd who got
in there from Lemhi and Montana. Sew
erel quartz veins have been taken up. and
parties are daily prospecting for rich strikes
in that line of mining. Mr.. Romer esti-
mates the number there when he left at
600, and more were daily coming in. The
trail from Leesburg is very difficult and
dangerous. A dozen pack animals had
been precipitated from high, sharp points
on the mountain side down into ravines,
and killed, and their cargoes lost. Goods
will have to be packed in from this direc-
ton. Jack Kennaly has very rich claim.
One man had panned out s1l7 in single
day; another h obtained nearly $40
from a single pan of dirt taken from
depth of five feet. The news produced
another excitement here, and another stam-
pede has been the consequence.
Judge Beatty writes to the Boise City
Chronicle, from Leesburg, that everybody
had gone to Loon Greek, and he should
himself start at once. He says the pros.
poets are from FIVE cents to SIS per pan !;
and that one piece weighing 50 was re-
ported Another Leesburg letter to the
Helena Gazette is equally favorable.

have left Idaho City for the new diggings,

MORE CHINESE WoMEN-We extract
the following from the San Francisco
Times of Monday:
The steamer Great Republic arrived be-
tween 8 and 9 o'clock Saturday evening.
The Purser's memorandum omits the GUS
tomary report of the number of passengers,
which, we are variously informed, on un-
impeachabe authority, was nine hundred,
twelve hundred and thirteen hundred.
Probably the latter figure is the most near
ly correct. Among them were one hun
dred and eighty girls, imported, as usual,
for the brothels. Our China papers report
the trade in these girls for this market as
active. As has been repeatedly affirmed
they are kidnapped, or sold by destitute
parents, to a condition of absolute practical
slavery. 1t is nonsense for the Pacific
Mail Company to say that they cannot
prevent the traffic as common carriers.

The CIoyen Foot Appears.

Governor Haight, 10. Hamilton, and
other Democratic authorities, have pubI-
caly committed themselves to the theory,
or heresy, that the Fifteenth Amendment,
if ratified by three-fourths of the States
cannot be considered binding on any State
that refuses to endorse the measure. They
also take the ground that the Thirteenth
and Fourteenth Amendments are void and
of no effect, bscause they were not ratified
by all the States The logical conclusion
of their theory, then, is that the abolition
of slavery, the war for the suppression of
the rebellion, the war debt, etc., were un-
lawful and unconstitutional acts, and in
violation of the power conferred upon the
Government. Thus we behold the vic
torious Democracy Of this State reafirming
and promulgating anew the Notification
doctrines of Calhoun and the Secession the
ories Of Toombs and Jefferson Davis. Give
Democracy control in Government affairs,
and in pursuance of the doctrine enunciated
by Haight, Hamilton & Co., ex-slavehold-
ers viii be allowed compensation for the
loss of their slaves, and Confederates will
demand and receive pay for millions Of
rebel property destroyed during the war
Further, if the Constitutional Amendments
passed for the purpose of legalizing the
abolition Of slavery and forever prohibitin G
involuntary servitude in the United States
are trampled under foot and held as void
Slavery can be restored by the simply re
vocation of the Emancipation Proclamation
by Democratic President. Let the peo-
pie reflection these very significant points
and decide in their own minds if it is safe
to sustain the advocates of Modification
and the champions Of the claims of the
enemies of the Government.
