HOW SARGENT STANDS.

The enemies of Hon. A. A. Sargent, or rather
those who are opposed to his election TO the
United States Senate finding that be is the pop
ular candidate, are doing all in their power to
defeat him, even to the adoption of very dishon-
orable means. Knowing the contempt in which
George c. Gorham and the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company are held by the people of this
State, strenuous efforts are being made to show
that they are favorable to the election of Sar-
gent, and some have gone so far as to state that
there is a mutual understanding between Sar-
gent and Gorham to the effect that the latter
will AID in electing the former to succeed Cole,
and that in return for this service Sargent is to
work to the end that Gorham may be Casserly' S
successor. The Vallejo Recorder, of October 3D.,
on authority of both the gentlemen named,
states distinctly to the public that no such COM
bination has been made, and that Mr.. Sargent is
making his fight purely on his own merits. The
same paper adds ale has made no promises
to Mr.. Gorham or to the Central Pacific Railroad
Company-in fact, he has made no promises to
anybody. He has long had just and laudable
ambition to occupy seat in the United States
Senate, but he prefers to return to private life
rather than to occupy a position in the great
council of the nation, if he has to go there
trammeed and tied up with pledges and prom
ises of all descriptions. He does not assume to
dictate to the Legislators of California who they
shall select to succeed Eugene Casserly, and he
is we'll aware of the expressed sentiment of the
people against railway subsidies. We hope that
the idle rumors that have been circulated against
him by persons who have no arguments to fur.
nish in favor of their own preferences, will be
promptly denied by the entire press of the State
We have been active in the anti-railroad wal
ever since it commenced, and have continually
opposed all of the favorites of the Central Pacif-
ic who were seeking important Offices and we
have no fear of Mr.. Sargent doing anything, eli
ther in the United States Senate or in the House
of Representatives, but what is fair, useful and
honorable"

THE best way to get out of difficulty is not

The best way to get out of n difficulty is not
to get into it, Keep well, and thus avoid the
necessity of getting well. If you are troubled
with dyspepsia, pain in the region of the heart,
liver or kidneys, or any other painful symptoms,
the trouble probably lies in the vitiated condi-

OuR GovERNoR.-The Sacramento Reporter,
official organ of the Democratic party in this
State, laying aside all party prejudces, pays
the following high compliment to the man whom
the people delight to honor-Newton Booth
our next Governor. 1t says; " The Republi-
cans went into the late contest not only united
but led by the ablest captain who ever bore their
standard in this State. There is not another
man in the Republican ranks so well fitted in
every respect for the Office of Governor as the
very able gentleman who has just been elected
to that high position. 1t is not undue praise on
The part of one of his sdmirers to say that be
made an active, dignifed, and effective can
vass, and won golden opinions wherever he
went. AS a thinker, writer and speaker, he
stands upon eminence which none of his ten
predecessors in Office ever approached. There
is every reason to believe he will make an excel
lent Governor"

BRIGHAM YOUNG ARREsTED.--We find the fol-
lowing dispatches in the Sacramento Union of
the Sd instant;
SALT LAKE, October lst.
Brigham Young was arrested at P. NJ. to-day,
on an indictment of the Grand Jury charging
him with lewdly cohabiting with one hundred
and sixty different women. The arrest was
made by United States Marshal Patrick at
Young's house. Owing to sickness the prisoner
was allowed to stay at home tonight in charge
of deputy marshal, and will be taken before
Judge Mexican tomorrow. The penalty of the
statute on this charge is not over ten years in
prison nor less than six months, and fine not
over 81 900 nor less than 500. Rumor of an
outbreak of Mormons is rot to be credited.
Mormon leaders assure the people that the court
decision will be obeyed. Governor Woods is
ready for any emergency, and will maintain the
law at any cost. company of United States
troops from Fort Brdger will arrive here to-
night. 1t is reported and generally believed
that indictments have been found against Brig
ham Young for murder.

with trying to excite religious animosty against
II. n. Bolander, Republican candidate for Super
intendent of Public Instruction, his opponents
are circulating the statement that he is C for
egner, who cannot speak English respectfully"
The fact is that Bolander is thoroughly culti-
waited German, an accomplished scientist and
linguist, and teacher Of English of long expe-
rience. When in his nineteenth year he became
a resident of Columbus, Ohio, where he studied
and mastered our language, and where for ten
years he taught in the American schools. For
ten years he has resided in California, and five
years he has been in charge of the Cosmopolitan
Schools in San Francisco, For a time he was
connected with the State Geological Survey of
California, as botanst, and his contributions to
the knowledge of the flora Of the Pacific coast
have been so numerous and valuable as to gain
him recognition n leading authority among
naturaists at the East and in Europe. He has
been an active member of the California Acade-
my of Sciences for years. In all these various
positions a good knowledge of English was in
dispensable and we know that he possesses it,
being both ready speaker and writer in the
language besides having familiarity with Latin,
Greek and French. With his thorough culture,
his acquaintance with science, his experience as
a teacher and writer, and his well-known hearty
sympathy with American national and educa-
tional ideas there could not be more worthy
and qualified candidate for State Superintendent
The friends of LIBERAL nonsectarian education
will rally to his support with enthusiasm.-Bu
letin.

| An extraordinary escapade Of convicts
occurred at Sing Sing prison. New York,
on the nth. At a quarter before IL a
tug boat, having canal in tow, and
going north was observed approaching
the prison dock with considerable rap
idity. The guard warned the pilot to
keep off, and the warning was needed.
apparently, notwithstanding the steamer
glided close to the pior. Immediately
| IL conVicts, as if understanding the
whole movement, made rush from heir
work, leaped on board. the canal boat
and ran pell NELL over to the tug and
into the engine.room The engineer
was dislodged and one of the convicts
dashed into the pilot house, and took
charge OF the wheel. immediately the
tug was headed for the western shore
The alarm was given as quickly as posi-
bic, anu manyv of the regular prison
guards rushed toward the pier They
aimed their pieces at the convict pilot
and shouted for him to stop, but he
crouched down out Of sight and the
vessel kept moving Word was sent to

sci was procured ana sent il chase. Mr.
Childs, Of the prison, also started up the
track to sing Sing dock and got sl0op
under way, filled with armed men. One
OF the vessels sent out to capture the CON
VlctS oyerhauled the tug near Rockland,
when the convictS took to small boats in
the vicinity which some boys had, and
rowing quickly to the SHIRE, escaped t3
the moun.ains. One convict who t
luto boat with a boy, was pressed go
close that he seized the boy and placed
him before him 50 that the guard would
not fire. The guard cid fire, not at the
escaped convict, but with the intention
or lntlmlddtlng him and causing HIM to
surrender. He kept on pulling instead,
and reached the shore where he Joined
his ass 1clates 1t is believed that this
affair Was planned two weeks ago by
persons in New York city. The tug boat
was the Dean Rjc}5m0nd and the captain
a Mr.. Norton. The engineer was named
Farrell. A boy was also on board named
Farrell. Both are under arrest. The tug
left New York at 1870 this morning The
captain says two men hired him to come
20 Sing Sing 10 carry load of furniture
to New York. They hired him for lie
same purpose fortnight ago, and came
up, but after landing the men said the
furniture was not ready, and they would
81 back. They paid the captain $780,
After the tug was captured there was
found on board the c0nvicts' clothing, q
number Of false whiskcrs and moustaches
and several Teyo(ycrs, which were brought
from New York, All the convicts had
ample time to change their clothing for
The suits brought up on the boats. After
the tag left the prison dock the escaped
convicts cut the canal boat loose so as to
give more speed to their vessel. AS
soon as the affair occurred, all the con-
VIcts in the prison were locked, and
CY4ry grarisman was sent IN pursuit.
AT the last reports we have, seven had
been recaptured.
