Loss of the Steamer Golden City,
Great Suffering among the Passengers.

The steamship Colorado arrived at San
Francisco on the evening of March lst, bring
ing the intelligence of the wreck and total
loss of the steamer Golden City, hence Feb
ruary 18th for Panama. The particulars of
the disaster are as follows: After leaving
San Francisco the Golden City followed the
usual course of the Panama steamers, and
steamed alDngn near the coast; seldom being out
of sight of land. On the morning of the 22d
of February, when near point Lazaro, about
100 miles north of Cape St. Lucas and dis
tant about 400 yards from the shore, the
steamer struck on a reef of sand. A dense fog
prevailed at the time, and the sudden shock
produced was similar to that of an earth
quake and created much excitement and con-
fusion among the passengers. The engines
were reversed but produced no effect on the
vessel. The life raft was launched and the
women and children. numbering about forty,
placed on board and safely landed. The boats
were lowered and all the passengers and crew
reached the shore. The bullion and other
treasure was taken care of, and water and
provisions, with large quantity of baggage,
sails and spars. landed. The two latter arti-
cleS were intended for the construction of tents
and places of shelter for the women and chill
drer. The place of landing was q barren
sandy desert without trees or vegetation.
On the third day the steamer Colorado, bound
for San Francisco. hove in sight and an
swered the signals of the wrecked party, bu.
owing to the heavy breakers all were COM
PEELED to walk over the sand hills to Mar
guerrita Bay before they could be taken on
board. On the first day of the wreck boat
was sent down the coast to go as far as Cape
S.. Lucas. This boat had not returned and
is now probably at the Cape. The Golden
City went to pieces on the second night after
getting aground, and most of her cargo wash
ed ashore. In making the trip from the scene
of the wreck to Marguerite Bay, distance
of twenty-five miles. some of the passengers,
including one woman, supposed to be n jew
ess, wandered off in the hills and did not
reach the Bay in time to take the steamer.
The passengers blame the CAPTAIN for the
loss of the Golden City and for unnecessa-
riiy harsh treatment after the wrecks.

WHERE DOES THE MONEY BELoNG.-The Act
which passed the Legislature directing the
County Treasurer of Tuolumne, to apply the
money in the treasury which has not been ap-
portioned, to the payment of General Fund
Warrants, was vetoed by tie Governor at the
request of the delegations in both houses, and
the veto sustained. Senator Vaudeville, in
troduced another Act in the Senate, which
passed that body for this money to be applied to
the payment of Current Expense Warrants.
When this bill was sent to the Assembly,
it was referred and has not been reported
back. While our County Treasurer was in
San Francisco on Monday last, he was served
with process to show cause why the 4th Dis
trict Court should not issue Mandamus, re-
quiring him to pay warrants on the General
fund, belonging to Judge Quint. There has
been some sharp practice resorted to in this
matter, and we wait to see if the Legislature,
or the Courts are to settle it,

The alis.issippi senator.

The colo-ed man Revels. elected By the Leeisla-
tore Of Mississippitoth the I. S. Senate. has been
admitted to seat in that body Revels, has
been more fortunate than the colored man
Menard. who was elected by the people OF
Louisiana, to represent that State, in the
lower branch of Congress, about one year
since. A majority of the Senate, has acted
more consistently in carrying out their pro-
fessions, recognizing the equality of the infe-
rior race by admitting the Mississippi Sena-
tor, than the patriotic congressman who turn
ed their backs on Menard. Ii the people Of
Mississippi, and the q. S. Senate. are satisf-
ed with Revels, weshall not complain. There
is not much doubt but that he will perform
his duties as well, as the white carpet bag
rsscals who have been sent by some of the
States to represent them in Congress. AT all
events we are satisfied that the new Senator
will not disgrace himself or the body ofwhch
he is member more than late member
from South Carolina, who has shown that
whatever his outside color might be- that cor
ruption and dishonesty was his inward mo-
tive power. Revels is in the U. S. Senate
against our sense of propriety, now that he is
there We hope that he will be allowed every
chance to show what he is competent TO do, if
he proves himself to be equal. or rises above
those who have admitted him to the dignifed
position it will be a straw in favor of the re-
cent amendment to the Constitution. 1t ap-
pears to be a fixed fact that without regard to
race, color or previous condition, all classes
Of men are to be entitled to political privile-
ges, such being the case for the benefit of the
whole country we hope that whenever one of
the heretofore despised race is placed in posi-
tion that he may be equal to the duties re-
quired of him. We were opposed to bringing
about such a state of things. bnt believing
that there is no escape from the effects of the
new amendment, we submit, with n hope
that it will prove to be more beneficial to the
country than we have, or do now think it can.

PRENTICE MILFORD.
The Age OF PrOErcss-Ncw Ch"rns for Old

If we have been correctly informed, there
has somewhat singular custom arose IN the
Cow Counties. 1t appears that there has been
introduced of late, at all of their balls and
hops, novel experiment, and at least some
thing new under the sun, for the manu-
facture of cow grease. On those festive occa-
sions, each gent and lady on arriving at the
scene Of operations, securely binds to the
calves of their legs tin cans, so constructed as
to fit to a nicity the shape of the'limb; and
capable of containing from quart to gallon
of the lacteal fluid. When thus accoutered,
the gentleman enter the ballroom with their
fair charges leaning upon their manly forms,
and after marching around the hall to some
soul inspiring march, they form on the floor
and commence churning 10 the music of Mig
ger in the wood-pile," and kindred tunes.
This innovation upon the old style of conduct
ing dances, is said to have changed entirely
the run of conversation that has heretofore
obtained. Instead of the commonplace re-
marks that have been INDUCED in from time
immemorial, the conversation somewhat takes
this turn " Adolphus dear, do you think
our butter has Gomez" 1t will be love, by
the time we dance the supper jig"
The public spirited citizens of Tuttletown,
intend giving grand butter hop on the 25th
of March, and hereby invite the citizens of
Sonora. Special invitations will be issued to
the Press, Clergy and Medical Fraternity.
At II P. NJ, splendid cold collation. will be
spread, consisting In part of COW heels, sour
krout, pigs trotters and Lmburger cheese,
supported 10y entries of mustard, garlic and
caviar.

that parties wishing to attend, can be sup
piled with cans at the Saloon of Mr.. Thomas

Loss OF THE U. S. STEAMER ONEIDA-The
U. 5. Steamer Oneida, started for home from
Japan on the a4th of January, when short
distance from the harbor of Yokohama in the
night, the English Steamer Bombay ran into
her. The Bombay kept on, not stopping, al
though the oneida fired guns to bring her back.
Five guns were fired, but before the sixth the
vessel sunk, and the life boat was obliged to
leave the side of the vessel to avoid being
swamped. When all hope was gone, the of
heers gathered around Captain Williams, he
was heard to say tina. he would not leave the
ship. He and all the others-one hundred and
twenty In number-sunk. Those in the life

There will be no lack of candidates for Trus-

in the field. 1t would have been as we'll for
tins Legislature to repeal the City Charter,
but as is has not and probably will not, our
citizens should use some care in selecting
their officers. They should not look upon the
Board of Trustees as unimpOrtant, it must
be remembered that the men who are to COM
pose it, will have power to levy taxes and en-
force their collection Such men should be
chosen as will not create or allow aay but
most necessary expenses. The taxpayers of
Sonora have in the past paid enormous sums
for sustaining City government, and there
is no earthly use now for Trustees, except
that somebody must keep our streets in good
condition. Look to it tax payers, that you do
your duty, if through your own Negligence
you should be overtaxed by the new Board,
you will have no cause to complain.

THE FEMALE SHOW.

The show Of women alone was worth half
the price of admission to the Pavilion. Tbe
female sex seem in this part Of the country to
be getting very numerous. 1t looks as if
there should be enough to 60 round, one at
least fer every man. The money piled on
some of these women in the shape of dia-
monGs, silk; turs and jewelry IS terrifying to
the single masculine heart, at say, one hun
dred dollars month. Yet we like to see wo-
men handsomely apparelied. We should
growl did she not consult fancy in the deco
ration of her person. It's in paying for it
that the shoe pinches. 1t grows yearly so
much harder to obtain the necessary cash.
Men don't marry so much as they used to on
this account. It's far easier not to support a
wife and family. After 80, the chances of a
man forming a connubial partnership dimin-
ish very rapidly. He finds out how to get
along without marriage. He looks at your
