The maxim that The Vuice ct the people is
the voice of the divinity. may in soae cases,
be open to doubt. but the testimony of honest
and enlightened witnesses extending through
a series of years. and all to the same purport.

Upon such testimony the reputation of HIS
letters Stomach Buffers as an au,idote and
cure for many ailments is based, During
tie twenty years that it has been before the
world, innumerable preparations intended TO
compete with it, have gone up ike rockets,
and come down the extinguished sticks
Meanwhile the progress of that incomoara-
BILE tonic has been swift and steady-always
upward and onward like the eagles flight.
Its introduction produced revolution in
therapeutics, and it proved to be one of those
sanitary revolutions that cannot 90 back.

the most popular remedies in christencom,

dyspepsia. bilious disorders, nervous affec.
tons, general debility, and as a preventive OF
epidemic fevers, it takes precedence of every

The Great Gala nifty.

The year 1871 will be memorable for i'm
mense fires in the United States. The de
struction os property in Nevada and Califor
mia, was followed by the prairie fires in Wis
consin and Michigan, spreading devastation
for miles destroying all farm improvements
large quantities of farm stock and several
whole towns in those States. Immediately
upon these comes the destruction of a large
and the most valuable portion of the city Of
Chicago. The accounts of this great calami
ty are painful, the loss of property it is es
timated will not fall below $3.50, 600, 900 TIE
largest amount destroyed by any ono fire that
has ever occurred on this continent. The
burnt district is three miles in length and
over mile in width and covers what was the
business part of the city Thousands upon
thousands have lost their all and are left des-
titute without means or even food. The ef
feet of this great calamity cannot be confined
to the people of that unfortunate city, it will
be felt in every portion of our country, and
cannot help exciting sympathy throughout
the civilized world. The sufferngs of men
women and children are represented to be
heart rending, hnddled together waiting for
the distribution of supplies. St. Louis, GIN
cinnati and other cities and towns at once
took measures to raise means for the relief of
the suffering houseless and homeless. The
citizens of San Francisco hare taken nct;on
to respond to the appeal. Other cities and
towns in this State arc bound by the ties of
humanity to do their part towards relieving
the great distress.

THE MARIPosA ESTATE The Mariposa
Free Press of last week has the following:
''The purchasers of the Mariposa estate un-
der the tax sale of March last, took deed to
the premises from the Sheriff about month
ago. Last week the attorney of the purchas
ers, with Mr.. Lucas. new superintendent
on the part of the purchasers, arrived and
proceeded to take possession of the property.
The Sheriff placed them in possession of the
Mariposa and Princeton mine and mills. Nei-
Their of these have heen worked for several
months past: the only active operations be,
ing at Bear Valley, on wha. is known as the
Josephene and Pine Tree mines. From these
mines the quartz is conveyed to the Benton
mills. on the MERGED river. for crushing.

The Judicial election takes place on We'd
nesday next. The selection of Judges and
Superintendent of Pablo Instruction is of
great Importance, We. there is a general be-
lief that the vote will be small at the ap-
preaching election compared with that Of
September last. The law as il now stands re-
quiring two elections in the same year and
but few weeks apart is expensive and need
less. The object for which the Constitution
was changed. to take the election Of Judicial
officers out of politics has failed. It is as
easy to change the spots of the leopard as to
keep politics out of any election by the peo-
pie. Then by having two elections, the one
for paying Offices first, destroys the intcres,
that should be taken in the last which is of
such great Importance. We cannot TOO strong
y urge upon Democrats in this county that
it is their duty, the duty of every one of them
to 90 to the polls on Wednesday ard vote for
their candidates. There IS no reason WHY
the Democratic nominees should not have a
handsome majority in Trolumne. After Civ
ing Gov. Haight majority of nearly two
hundred it will be disgraceful to the party
not to give as large if not larger majority for
Their Judges and Superintendent. There is
very little said in regard to Supreme Judges,
about superintendent, the Republican press
have abused the present incumbent so un-
justly that 1t has caused several to take an
interest in that officer, which, if we mistake
not, will tend to his advantage. That gem
tleman several years ago was resident of
this county. during which time he nude ma
ny warm friends who have ever since mani
tested great interest in his welfare. During
the time he has filled his present position he
he's performed his duty fully to the satisfac-
tion of his friends and NIL the teachers in
this county. ard there is every reason for be-
leving that the vote on Wednesday will in
dorse his official acts. The aspirants for
County Judge are anxious, we learn that they
have been around the couaty interviewing
the people. As the Democrats have major
ity in the county, if they stick to their nom-
nee, there will be no doubt of his election.
1t the same kind of buying and selling ard
rascality is carried on that was at the general
election the result will be very Uncertain
The Democracy have the power to elect the
County Judge and every Justice of the Peace
except in the third township, and give the
State nominees handsome majorities. 1t is
their duty to come ont on Wednesday, and show
their radical opponents. that if money beat
them on the 9th of September they are nei-
Their conquered or dismayed, but are deter
mined to work and vote until they redeem
the State aid General Government from the
corrupticns Of the radical party.
