NO ELECTION NEWS.

The telegraph wires have been " on, Of
kilter" for the past twenty -four hours,
and as consequence We are not in pos
session Of any election returns up to the
hour of going to press, aud the indica-
cations are that very little telegraphic
communication gill be had with the East
for several days. In view Of the fact
that seventeen States held elections last
Tuesday, VIC think the elements might
have been little more favorable to the
electric wires. but what is unavoidable
must be borne with fortituie and rcsig.
nation.
A solitary telegram from Nevada on
the day of the election tells US tha: both
parties claim the State; but as they did
that before the election it doesn't indi-
cate anything.

PILES

Why do multitudes suffer year after year with
this distressing disease, which they know must
ultimately take them to the grave? The reason
simply is that they have never been able to pre-
cure a reliable remedy. Temporary relief only
aggrdUates the disease.
The discovery of a perfectly reliable and speedy
cure has recently been made. and the medicine
may now be had Of A. CAROTHERS a CO., Of
this city, who are sole propretors. The Pile Pills
have been used by many in this county, and in
no case have they failed to effect permanent
cure. Sent post paid to any address on receipt Of

ERRArUM.-In publishing TIE Veto
Message on the $500, 900 Subsidy Bill,
last week, we made an omission which
very materially changes the meaning
intended to be conveyed by the orig
inal document.
In the fifth paragraph from the bot
tom of the Message we say, s.To make
a tax legitimate it must be for a pri-
vate purpose" )" whereas, the sentence
should read thus: "To make tax le-
gitimate it must be for a public and
not private purpose.

A CESSATION OF mosTILrTHEs.

It is now generally understood that
Theirs on the part of the French and
Bismarck for the Prussians have form
ed an armistice which was to have COM
menced on the 4th of November and
end on the 2Sth--being "a days Of
peace. The conditions of the armis-
tico are that Paris shall receive daily
one days food on the scale of present
rations, both belligerents to proceed
in their material preparations; the
Germans to continue to occupy the
whole country, and in tho territory
now held by them to cease TO make
forced requisitions, and to be allowed
to bring forward all their stores and
war material without Interruption
The arniistice is only granted for the
purpose of allowing the French to
hold an election for Representatives
to the National Legislature and form
ing Government of the people which
tiations for peace with the Prussian
will feel empowered to enter into nego-
Government. 1t is generally believed
that the results to flow from this arm
istice will be highly favorable to an
early settlement Of the causes for
war between the belligcrent parties,
and that active hostilities are now vir-
tually at an end. 1t is earnestly
hoped by all. christendom that the
olive branch OF peace may soon wave
over those distracted countries and
that the unparalleled flow of blood
which the plains OF France have re-
Gently witnessed may never again be
repeated.
LArKg.-The armistice is failure,
Theirs having received orders from
the French Provisional Government
to break off negotiations and leave the
Royal headquarters. The cause oi
the rupture is believed to have been
the persistence of Bismarck in insist.
ing on guarantees for the cession oi
| Alsace and Lorraine to Prussia, and
rs the domain embracing those tive
provinces seems to have been the
principal cause for the continuance o.
hostilities since the capture of Napo
leon, of course the French refuse tc
enter into negotiations having sucf
an ultimatum. The war goes on ant
the Prusaian Ambassador at Londoi
says the struggle will continue al
winter. Paris will be bombnrded i'm
tnediately, aud the destruction of tha
famous and beautiful city seems to b
only a question of time. While W
admire the bravery and heroisin @
the French in struggling Oh unde
, such adverse and disheartening cir
cumstances as the present state c
affairs show, yet VIC deprecate tn
spirit which urges them to such
step, for with the overwhelming odds
both in discipline and number.
against them, the struggle can hay
, but one issue, and that will probabl
be more humiliatiag TO their prou
, spirits than would be peace founde
upon such basis as their enemy no
f demands. And in the meantime til
destruction of their property and I'll
f pouring out of blood upon their yin'
clad hills will so on, making peac
more sorrowful when it comes an

: difficult and wearisome.

WoRKINGMEN IN NoTIoN.-The work
ingmen of California have some strong
organizations, which purpose combining
for political objects at the Fall election.
This large element of voters will cast theit
ballot as one man, and the candidates for
State officers which they favor will assured
" be ele, ted if there is any union in their
ranks. The Workingman's Journal says,
under the caption of "Who is to be out
next Governor"
Among the list Of names mentioned for
that important Office We notice those Of
Gen. Reddington, William Watt, the pre-
sent incumbent, II. Ii. Haight, Eugene
s. Sullivan, 2. Donahue and 7. Quits.
From our, knowledge Of Governor -Haights
cold Indifference to the interests of work
ingmen, we would advise him not to enter
the race, as there is not one out of ten
that could heartily indorse him. As for
General Redington, We think him to be
one of the best men on the list. We do
rot know Mr. Watt personally, but from
what We can hear of him he has first
class record Mr.. Douahue, Mr. Curtis,
p. A. Roach and L. S. Sullivan are well
known citizens of this city. Any one Of
the above gentlemen will suit US, provided
always they receive the nomination from
the Workingmen's party, the present Gov.
ernor alone excepted.

GRANT. CAisINDG.

1t is worthy of note that with retirement
of Mr. Cox but single one of the entire
array Of Cabinet officers originally appoiDt-
ed by President Grant now remains. Mr..
Washburn gave way as Secretary of State
to Mr. Fish of New York; Mr. Stewart,
of New York, gave way as Secretary of the
Treasury to Mr.. Boutwell,, of Massachu-
setts; General Rawlius, of Illinois, gave
way as Secretary of War to General Bel
KNAPP, of Iowa; Mr. Borie, Of Pennsylvania,
gave way as Secretary ofthe navy to Mr..
Robson, of New jersey; Judge Hoar, of
Massachusetts, gave way as Attorney Gen.
eral to Mr.. Ackerman, of Georgia; aid
now Mr. Cox, of Ohio, has given way as
Secretary of the Interior, probably, to Mr.
Delano, of Ohio. Mr.. Cresswell, of Mary
land, the Postmaster General, is the only
officer who has retained his seat in the
Cabinet although only little more than
twenty months have elapsed since the orig
inal Ministry was appointed Still more
changes are contemplated 1t is said Sec
retary Fish will retire before the 4th of
March proximo; and it is reported that
Attorney General Ackerman will withdraw
at the same time, to give place to one of the
! present Senators from Oregon.
When Grant took the Presidential Chair
he expressly declared that if he should
find that he had chosen unfit or incompe.
tent men to Cabinet positions, he would
not hesitate to make changes until the best
men were found, and he seems determined
to carry out his original intention. The
President shows good sense in dismissine
such officials as are found incompetent
corrupt, or stubborn to second the policy Of
the Administration for the reduction Of the
debt and collection of the revenues.

DEATH OF wM. III. GOoCH.

We reoret to record the death OF VIM.
II Gooch, which event occurred on Mon
day evening near Slate Greek, on the Sac
ramento River road, under the following
circumstances: Gooch was returning home
with his wagon and team, after having de.
livered load of lumber to some parues
living down the river, and while coming
down the grade about tour hundred yards
from Slate Greek, it is supposed that the
break-ba dropped down, thus causing the
driver to lose his balance and fall forward
upon the wagon tongue and double-tree, in
which position he evidently received ter
rible kick from one of the horses, which
caused his death. The fact that his body
was found in the road about a hundred
wards from where the break bar dropped
down, and that the double-tree was covered
with blood, showed that he must have re-
N aimed on the tongue and double-tree for
several moments after receiving the fatal
kick.
On the horses coming home at full
speed without their driver, parties about
the place lit lantern and started along the
grade to search for him. They found him
lying in the middle of the road, and say
that he only gave one or two gasps for
breath after their arrival. On examina-
tion hole, which looked as though it had
been caused by the cork or toe of a horse
shoe, was found in his head, and from this
orifee blood was flowing and brains protru
ding
About two years a. % the same team run
away, upset the wagon to which they were
attached, and broke one of Gooch's legs in
the melee. In fact these horses have be.
come notorious on account Of their runa-
way and kicking propensities, and their
owner was frequently demonstrated with
for continuing to drive such refractory ry
and dangerous team.
William H. Gooch was a native of Yer
mont and aged about forty FIVE years. He
was one of the pioneer settlers and business
men of this county, and was particularly
noted for his superior enterprise and public
spirit His loss will long be felt.

A MUss.

A difficulty occurred near the -Four
Mile House on Sunday evening between
William Mathewson and Jacob Rich. which
terminated thusly. The two were walking
along trail, when Mathewson, as Rich
alleges, drew heavy hatchet and without
warning, struck him heavy blow in the
face with the sharp edge of the tool The
blow split Rich's nose and upper lip COM
pletely open, and damaged his physiognomy
generally. Other parties who were neal
by came up about the time the blow was
inflicted and prevented Mathewson from
following it up, as he seemed inclined to do
Rich was conveyed to town and received
prompt surgical treatment and is not con
sidered to be in a dangerous condition, al
though the wound is very severe one
Mathewson has been arrested and lodged
in jail to await examination on charge o.
assault with intent to commit murder.
His examination will take place on Monday

A STARTLING discovery was made at the
Royal Arsenal. Woolwich, England on Oct.
%. twenty-five quarter casks of gunpow-
der, seized al Fenian store in Ireland, had
been brought to Woolwich in one of the Gov
ernment coasting vessels, and, upon being
opened at the Royal Laboratory for exam
inatlon, were found to contan luciier match
es and old nails in considerable quantities,
mixed with the powder. in every cask. If
the casks had beeu subjected to the rough
usages Of railway transit, the cnnsequen
ces might have been mnst terrible and even
with the comparative precautions taken in
conveying them by water, the circumstances
of their having escaped explosion is wonder
tul. After this discovery the casks were of
course handled with particular delicacy.-
They were placed in barge in the river,
and tne boat being scuttied, was sunk at
high tide so that there is now no fear of
the accidents" which some miscreant had
endeavor TO perpetrate.

THE diamond mines of South Africa
promise to do for that country what the
gold mines have done for California and
Australia. Thousand of people-English
Americans, and Germans-have focked
to the region where the precious gems are
found, and are busy from early in tie
morning till late at night digging, sitting
and working the gravelly soil. As in the
case of gold, too, the average cost of every
diamond is fully equal to its value. Where
one miner is lucky in his search, a dozen
are unlucky; and only few of the dia-
monds thus far discovered are free from
flaws and discooration. The business is a
lottery, in which a few draw prizes and
the rest blanks.
