DEATH OF HINCKLEY.-lt was with no
smell deg-ee Of surprise and regret that our
community learned of the sudden death Of
Judge Hinckley, which occurred after
weeks illness, at his residence in Fairfield
on last Sa urday afternoon and on Monday
Il large concourse of friends ACCOMPANIED
his mortal remains to their last resting place
in the cemetery g-ounds. Jacob farr Hin
ckley was native Of the State of Il.no;s.
where he was born in the year 1928. and
graduated at Pennsylvania University.
trade of practical printer and later in life
adopted the profession Of law. He served
honorably in the Mexican war, and in 1861
was member of the minute men organ
lied for the defense Of the National Cap
Ital. At one time he vas the foreman of
the Office of the ST. Louis Republican, and
subsequently acted in the same capacity in
the Office OF the Alta California. Judge
Hincklev came to this State in 1850. and
few years after that date settled in Shasta
county, where he edited the COURIER, and
was elected County Judge for one term.
In 1850 he was chosen delegate from
California to the Chicago Convention,
where Abraham Lincoln was for the first
time nominated for the Presidency. The
next year he was appointed Storekeeper at
Mare Island Navy Yard holding the posi-
ton few months and was soon afterward
elected District Attorney OF this county.

finish, and substantially built The stock
of goods on hand, furniture, bedding, ETC.,
were all consumed. A strong gale was
blowing when the flames broke ont, and the
woods caught on fire on the opposite side

A Chance lor shasta.

Several months ago we wrote several
articles intended to show the great natural
advantages and facilities for building an
extension of the California or Vallejo Rail-
road to this town. These articles were
copied and favorably commented on BY
the Vallejo papers, and We are now glad
to note that the advantages of the route
then outlined has been recognized by the
incorporation of company proposing to
build road as far up as Red Bluff. We
copy the following from the Marysville
Appeal:
We learn that articles of incorporation
of the California Bailroad Company have
been fled in the office of the Secretary of
State The proposed ruad is to commence
at point on the California Pac fc Rail
road near Woodland, Yolo county, and run
thence to point at or near ColuSa. thence
to point near Tehama, and thence to .
point at or near Red Bluff, distance of
los miles Capital stock, S3,500,O00 in
shares of 500 each. Directors-D. &.
IIaskin, j. p Jackson, i. c. Fowler, j.
NJ Ryder, A. D. Starr, G. j. Cole and
w. X. Hudson The principal place Of
business for the present will be at Vallejo.
This is an extension OF the Vallejo Rail
road northward, and seems to conflict with
the generally understood agreement be-
tween the Vallejo Railroad and the Oroville
Railroad. BE this as it may we judg re the
route Of the new Railraod will prove Il ben
eft to the people. whether a profitable in
vestment or not for the stock holders. II
this road is built, it will come into compeii-
road above Marysville-at Tehama Or Red
Bluff. But still We cannot see how the
opposition road as we may call it, can
secure tie northern travel. as the California
and Oregon Company will ticket passengers
from Portland to San Francisco Probably
there will be local trade enough to make
the Vallejo extension Il paying institution.
At any rate these railroad movements look
TO us as if Northern California was not 10
be deserted.
The Appeal is evidently unfavorable to
this proposed Vallejo extension for the
reason that Marysville will not be benefited
by it, but we have every reason to believe
that the road will be built, and are also
satisfied that it will prove paying enter
prise when completed Further, when the
track is built to Red Bluff, it will ulti-
mately be extended to this place, and Shasta
will become the headquarters of the trade
of Siskiyou, Trinity and klamath The
incorporation of the above Company shows
that there is still u chance for Shasta to
again become fourishing business town.

Demncrntic los.


This small loss proves conclu3ively that
their full strength was pollei in September
last-while We have reserve force of
nearly SIX THOUSAND in the four counties
mentioned, aud in the State, at least TEN
THOUSAND
Republicans of Gal:fornio We have
presented Judicial ticket that is unex-
ccptiona Our candidates for the Supreme
Bench are men of the most eminent legal
attainments, whose claims to tLe high posi-
tion to which they aspire are founded upon
their knowledge o., and their devotion to
the law. Not only is this true of our can
didates for Judges of the Supreme Court,
but in every Judicial District in the State,
the men were selected not as successful
politicians, put as men best fitted to ad
miuster the laws
To the flse and malicious charges which
are reiterated day by day against the Re.
publican party, by the Democratic press,
we deem no reply necessary. The record
of our party is before the country, and Of
its history we are justly proud. Not only
by its devotion ON the field, has it saved
the nation from those who attempted its
overthrow, but every great work for the
advancement of our material interests, as
State and Nation is justly due to US as
party. The Pacific Railroad, always de-
ldyed and defeated while the Democracy
were in power, carried forward aud placed
in a position to be speedily completed.
The Homestead law, which gives to
every settler one hundred and sixty acres
OF public land whereon to build Il hume, is
the child of the Republican party.
In every State our party is, and always
has been, the champion OF labor, anG the
steadtast friend Of the poor.
Remembering, then, all the sacrifices of
the past, the hopes of the future. aud he
allimportant duty of the present hour, let
Us give ONE DAY to the sacred duty of
keeping the Supreme Judiciary of the
State out of the hands of politicians and
demagogues.
One day devoted to this object is to
each individual small thing, but in its
results it gives US a certain aud complete
victory.
We have a majority in California, and
if we permit the Democratic party to elect
its candidates, it vii. be the plainest dis
regard of duty.
Let every republican not only vote him.
self, but mike it his spsciat business to
see that every member of our party in his
precinct casts his ballot ON the day Of cleo
ton.
Let US be satisfied with nothing less than
complete victory, one that will do honor
to ourselves, and secure to our State the
blessings Of pure aud upright Ju licary

which means their full vote was brought

Fello,o Republicans of Cob-f,,aia.

Fsllo,o Republicans Of California
BY our apathy We have allowed the Dem
ocratc party to gain temporary advantage
IN this State. The Republican party is to-
day as strong as when it gained its most
signal triumphs but from some undefn-
able cause, its full strength cannot be
poiled unless upon an issue of overshadow-
ing importance Such an issue is now
pending
A party who for four years did its utmost
to destroy our Government, and whose
treason and sympathy with the enemies of
ouf country, are matters Of history, has
ootained control of the Executive and
Legislative branches Of our State Govern
ment, and is determined to possess itself of
the Judiciary, and will do so, unless every
Republican does his duty at the election
to take place ON the twentieth day of the
present month
The attention of every member of the
Republican party is called to the following
figures, which are taken from the official
returns, and prove beyond all doubt, that
the victory of the Democrats at the late
September election is due-not to any
gain in heir vote, but entirely to the fact
that the Republicans did not go to the polls
