ANOTHER GoNE.-The pioneers of this State
are gradually and rapidly passing away,
nearly every week the announcement is made
by some of the press of this State that some
one of the early settlers has gone to his last
home. This week we add another to the
roll OF death. On Monday morning James
Drennen died after sickness of a few DAYS
from an attack of pneumonia. lie was a
member of Steyenson's regiment which ar
rived in California in 1877. After his dis
charge he remained at Stockton until 1851
when he came to this county of which he was
resident continuously until his death. He
was engaged nearly all the time in mining
during the last twenty years. He was a
good, honest and industrious man, modest
and retiring in disposition, kind of heart and
true to all the duties of a good citizen. The
suddenness of his death was a shock to his
large circle Of friends, who sincerely mourn
the loss of one to whom they were strongly
attached, by his many good qualities and vir,
tues. On Tuesday his body was followed to
the Catholic Church, of which he was an ex-
emplary member, where the funeral services
were performed, and from thence to the grave
by an unusual large number. lie leaves a
widow, whose great loss ELECTS universal
sympathy.

A WHOLE County SUBMERGED IN FLorIp,

A WHOLE COUNTY SUBMERGED IN FLORIDA.
SAVANNAH, September lS.-A most won
derful story is told here of a startling phe-
nomena in Florida. A large portion of Or
ange county has changed to lake, trees,
houses and people being engulfed. There
were msny witnesses of the phenomenon, all
of whom say the first thing that attracted
their attention was the trees moving, first a
grating motion of trees, some sinking gradu-
ally out of sight, the tops revolving more and
more rapidly as they sank and disappeared ::
the others following, and as they fell revolv-
ing and describing a series of circles against
the sky the whole earth, as far as the eve
could reach sinking. and its place supplied
by sea of water, rushing. seething and boil
ing with the noise of a mighty cataract and
ever and anon casting to the surface the
trunks and tops Of pines and oaks. The
country in every direction is entirely sub
merged, and is now one vast lake. 1t is ru-
mored that the town of Orlando is swallowed
up, and the whole chain of lakes from Apap-
ka to Lake Conway are now united and form
On immense inland sea. The people are fly
ing, terror-strieken, from the scene Of disas-
ter.

SENATORIAL QUEsrIoN.-The Radical press
are busy with their unexpected job ofmaking
United States Senator. The people have
placed power in the next Legislature in such
way that Radical Senator will be elected.
The old stand by candidates Cole, Sargent
and Gorham may not have the field wholly to
themselves. John B. FELTON,, Genl. j. B.
Frisbie and David Belden are also mentioned
as candidates or probable candidates. 1t
will be remarkable if the number of aspir-
ants are not largely increased before the Lee
gislature convenes. In the meantime any
quantity of logrolling ard putting up things"
in the interest of different candidates will 90
on. The Chronicle after saying that Cole
and Sargent are the only prominent candi-
dates ends an editorial thus: "Gorham.
Stow, Carr, Hutchinson, and the railroad in
fuence are all working for Sargent and Carr
declares that Gorham icW be Senator-and
Carr means exactly what he says. Sargent,
Gorham, and Stewart of Nevada have con-
sttuted the anti-Cole ring in Washington.
Sargent and Gorham are warm personal
friends, and each is interested in the others
success. Gorham is smart and unscrupulous,
and with Sargent as Senator to control FEEDER
al patronage, while Gorham could ut get 80
600 votes in the State for Senator direct, he
could easily secure a controlling interest in
Legislature to elect him Senator. The cleo
ton of Gorham as Senator, by fair means or
foul, would DISCUS. the people, and the Re
pubicau-Booth administration would likely
be succeeded by another Democratic rule. 1t
behooves legislators to inquire into this little
Sargent-Gorham combination, and if it exists
to the extent we have mentioned, repudate
unequivocally the whole transaction and any
movement that looks to the selection of Cor
ham as u representative of California"

THE ESTIMATED WINE YIglp IN Los ANGE-
lEs.-Los ANGELES, Sept. lSth.-The grape
crushing season has commenced. Reliable
estimates place the crop near Anaheim at
two-thirds of that of last year. owing to the
ravages of grasshoppers and the dry season.
At Cocamaugo Raaca and vicinity the grass
hoppers were only checked by bitches. The
loss there is greater than in this neighbor-
hood. The largest wine grower in this val
ley expects to crush over two hundred thou
sand gallons. The total wine yield of this
county is estimated at from million to a
million and quarter gallons.

MCGLYNN DEFEATED.-It appears that
John A. McGlynn, the Radical candidate for
Harbor Commissioner on the State ticket,
has been defeated By his Democratic oppo-
nent, Rosenfeld. The cause of the defeat as
figured out by Democratic papers is ascribed
to the fact that McGlynn is an Irishman and
a Catholic and that the know-Nothing ele-
ment of the Radical party prescribed him.
The Bulletin says that it was believed by
many that Rosenfeld could be more conf
IDENTIFY relied upon to carry out certain re-
forms and retrenchments in the harbor sys-
tenn of that city. The reason given by the
Democrats, is in all probability, the right
one, as McGlynn ran behind his ticket
throughout the State where little or nothing
was known about harbor system reforms.

The people of Inyo have just cause to COM
plain of the manner in which both political
parties have shamefully scratched their can
didates, Curtis and Campbell. It has result
ed in depriving that county and Mono from
representative, that in oil courtesy should be
accorded them. The Inyo Independent of
last week has the following
From the indefinite and very unsatisfactory
returns from the different counties, we CLEAN
the information that sold Tuolumne" has
given IIaight 100 majority. but that Repub-
lican Senator ard two Republican Represen-
tatiyes are elected. The total vote Of that
county Is probably not far from 400. and is
Democratic on Governor to the extent above
indicated. From reports we are to conclude
that the Democrats scratched their Lecisla-
tive tIcket-Eakin, Whiting, Connaliv and
Curtis-sufhciently TO elect at least Andross,
Bacon and Long. Ii is extremely probable
that the scratching was more against Curtis
than their own men, with the chance of few
Republicans throwing off Campbell and that
one or the other Of their Democratic nomin-
ees is but slightly behind the Republicans.
In this event, we are led to the conclusion
that of the six Representative candidates, Ba-
con, Long aud Whiting have received the
highest number Of votes, and are conseoueut-
ly elected, which is about the way the matter
will pan out. If there is anything in the
world more admirable than another. it is a
hogging game of politics, and poor Inyo and
Mono might as we'll swallow the present dose
as permanent cure for slcking eggs. Or
all denominations. the most outrageous one is
that which bitches this and Mono county to
Tuoumne for legislative purposes. with whose
interests we are identified to about the same
extent as with San Diego or Siskiyou.

The stat ement that less than six
millions of the thirty-nine millions OF
people of the United States own their
own homesteads, and have each from
city lot to thousands ofacres of lands
conveys an incorrect idea, as the infer
ence may be drawn from it that more
than Gve-sixths of the population own
no homesteads, but are renters. The
idea ment to be conveyed is that title
deeds Of real estate are held by nearly
six millions Of persons but these are
ncarl y all heads Of families, aud, with
their wives and children, comprise
more than thirty millions Of souls. 1t
is safe to estimate that six millions of
families ia the United States reside In
Their own houses, and that four millions
of families own the farms they cultivate
with their own h9nds. Ninety per
cent of all the land under cultivation
in the United States is worked by the
owners thereof, and not more than ten
per cent. ~ renters or tenants. In
the cities and towns the proportion to
owners is greater. In New York, per-
haps, four ffths of the families live in
rented tenements. In Philadelphia,
two,thirds of the families reside in
their own dwellings. In Chicago, St.
Louis, and other Western cities two
thirds Of the families pay no house
rent, but own their own residences. In
villages the proportion of house owners
to renters is still greater

All lovers of the good and beautiful
will learn with regret the death of
Phe Cary, at Newport. Miss Cary
was born near Cincinnati, in 1924 and
early displayed rare literary talent. In
1850, with her sister Alice, she pub
lished a book, their joint production,
which. at once placed both among the
most popular American authors. This
popularity has never waned. The death
of Alice last winter sadly affected the
spirits of her sister, and she declined
so much that for some months her life
has been dispaired of. For time the
bracing air of Newport promised to
bring back her health, but suddenly it
became known that one of the sweetest
Of singers slept in the silence of death.
Alice and Phoebe Cary were true poets,
and in their simple and beautiful lives
charmingly exempli6ed the loneliness
of a pure, modest and exalted woman
hood. Alice died at 81 years of age :;
Phoebe was 46. Neither of them was
ever married, At her funeral the pail
bearers were Horace Greeley, Oliver
johnson, George Ripley, Theodore Til
ton, z. I. Barnum, Robert Bonner,
Fletcher Harper and Henry G. Bowen.
