The vote Of the German element In
our population gravitates irresistibly
to the Republican party. Intelligent,
educated, and liberal, these sturdy
emigrants make the best Of citizens
and the most conscientious Of voters.
Their attachment for democracy Ia in
tuitive, or the growth Of well-deined
convictions. They come to this land
to find freedom for themselves, and
enjoy it in the most democratic of
ways by according 1t to others. In the
address of the Pennsylvania German
Republican Executive Committee, re-
Gently published, are summed up sue
clnctly the principles, practice, and
traditions Of the Republican party, and
the reasons given why it should receive
the suffrage Of the Germans. The party
saved the unity and liberty Of the Gov
eminent; It destroyed slavery; it
awarded equal rights it is the party
of education ; it has protected Ameri-
can abroad it promotes domestic IN
dustry through a judieiously-regulated
tariff /; it pays the debt, and reduces
taxation.

Heavy Fine for Centenpt Of Court.

Yesterday, during the session OF the
United States Circuit Court, and In the
presence Of Judge Lorenzo Sawyer
and Hon. Judge Fields, Associate Jus.
tice of the Supreme Court, n Alfred
Moulin, who has made himself notably
conspicuous in years past for his pre-
Torment Of various charges against diff
ferent Judges and prominent officials,
presented and read n petition severely
commenting upon several prominent
legal officials, especially the Judges of
the United States District and Circuit
Courts and the County Court. He also
made charges of corruption against the
United States Grand Jury, now In SEES
sion. Before he had finished reading,
Judge Sawyer ordered him to be COM
mitted for contempt Of Court, and that
he be imprisoned until the fine impos-
ed, that Of $500, be paid. This order
places Mr.. Moulin In rather an un-
pleasant ~predicament, for no must bear
the imprisonment until the fine 10 paid.
No matter what the circumstances,
the Court cannot revoke the order, the
President of the United States alone
having the pardoning power. The
order entered in the case was as fol-
lows:
whereas, on this 3Oth day Of Sep
TENDER, 1871, one Alfred Moulin pre-
sented and read to this Court while In
session, a false, malicious and scandal
Gus petition respecting the Judge Of
the District Court, Hon. Ogden Hof-
man, and the Judge Of this Court, and
the former officers Of this Court. and
Hon. John A. Stanly, County Judge
Of the city and county Of San Fran
cisco /; and also falsely and m~aliciously
representing the actions of this Court
In its instructions to the Grand Jury Of
the Court now in session; and whereas,
the presentation and reading Of such
false, malicious and scandalous petl-
ton constitute gross MISCELLANEOUS In
the presence of the Court, and that
greatly to It's scandal /; therefore the
said Alfred Moulin Is adjudged guilty
Of contempt In presenting and reading
said false, malicious and scandalous
petition In the presence Of tho Court,
and he is adjudged to pay a fine, for
said contempt, of five hundred dollars,
and to be Imprisoned In the County
Jail of the City and County Of San
Francisco, until said fine be pald."-

The FIRE ISvEsTIGATIoN.-The Fire
and Water Committee Of the Board Of
Supervisors yesterday resumed the In
yestigation Into the cause Of the spread
of the recent destructive fire. Several
witnesses were examined. but as the
Committee adhered to their resolution
to conduct the investigation with
closed doors, the testimony cannot be
given to The public. 1t is rumored
that the spread of the fire In an easter
ly direction was caused by the zeal Of
certain parties to ave the stores Of
Tyler Curtis 6 Co. and Strahle & Co.
The investigation appears to prove
that moro energy was employed, or,
~ it was called, wasted, ut the west
end Of tho block than was necessary.
One stream, 1t Is claimed, would have
prevented the building occupied by
the firms named from damage, whereas
several were employed tor that pur-
pose. This. II. true. coupled with an
evident lack Of ability, will help In a
great measure to account for tho rapid
spread Of the fire and the heavy losses
caused to occupants Of the Harpending
Blocks. +. Alta Of Sunday.

NEAR DEATH.-On Sunday morning
last, r. K. Wagner, who lives at Sac
ramento Mining District, 30 miles east
of here, left his camp to 20 to Fillmore
city, Utah, on business. When about
21a miles east Of the summit OF the
Snake Range, on the head waters OF
Rose Creek, he found a maj alongside
of the road, In al apparently dying
condition. He Immediately commenced
bathing his head with water, and In n
few moments the man was able to
speak. Wagner lifted him on his mule,
and returned to camp with him. In q
few hours, with the exception Of being
weak, he had entirely recovered. He
gave the following account Of himself
to Wagner: "He joined the Mormon
Church at Oswego, New York, In '66,
and emigrated to Utah. Eight years
ago he settled In Fillmore, city and mar
rfed the daughter of a WEIGH 1.-THE COL
lector. He was opposed to polygamy,
and so was his wife. This fact was
tine cause of making the whole polyga-
mist element Of the population his enc
mics. The evening Of the 18th Of this
month. n party OF men called at his
house and warned him to leave within
an hour or suffer death. He started
on foot, leaving his wife and children
behind, with the idea Of getting over
the line into this State. He missed the
road the first night out, and did not
find the main road until Saturday
night, the 23d, making elk days that
he was out altogether. At the time
Wagner found him, he had q biscuit
and a small piece OF bacon left. The
name of this expatriated Mormon is
A. r. Raymond. He isnow in Spring
Valley, OH q ranch.-Whue Pine New',

REAL EsrATE.-The general feeling
among real estate men seems to be
favorable to an active increase In busi-
ness, and appreciation In the values OF
property. Numbers Of sales have
lately been made at prices showing
marked improvement over the valua-
tions for the past two years, and many
negotiations are under way now which
tend to show n much better feeling.
The sale Of the City Hall lots, tho
positive fact that the building Is to be
erected, and the commencement by the
Central and Southern Pacific Rail-
roads OF work OH their property In
Mission Bay, preparatory to making
this city the grand terminus Of all
their lines, both freight and passenger,
have caused our thinking and moneyed
men to look around and to prepare
themselves to take advantage OF the
groundless depreciation Of real estate
values during many months past. For
an indication of the feelings Of prop
erty holders, and an evidence OF the
fact that holders Of real estate are
aware Of the better feeling In tho mar
ket, and wish to encourage 1t BY timely
sales, we refer our readers to the Inn
portant sale of real estate at auction
to be held by John Middleton & Son
on Monday at II N. We notice in their
list a line Of valuable properties 90
vars lot on the corner OF Leavenworth
and Tyler streets, one block from the
City Hall ; about one.half Of a 50.vara
lot on McAllister street, facing the
City Hall a 50-yara lot on Van Ness
Avenue, corner Of McAllister street ;
and 50-vara lot OH Oak street, near
Market, together with a long list Of
valuable properties.-S. F. Alta.

A NOVEL THEFT.-Last Sunday
morning a passenger train OH the Ohio
and MiSsisilppi railroad was detained
ut North Vernon, waiting for conncc-
tions. While waiting the engineer LETT
his engine for a moment. The fireman
was In the cab asleep, and the engt-
neer, who Was standing. on the plat
form, some yards distant, was aston
Ished to see his train moye on sudden
ly, without a warning note from the
bell or whistle, and In n few moments
was tearing down the rosd at the top
of its speed. A crazy mai had OBJ
served the engineer when he lett the
engine, and quietly took his place at
the throttle valve. and he opened her
ouk wide and let her drive. The fire.
man, awakened by the motion OF the
train, saw at a glance the condition OF
affairs, and ponncedupon tho mndman
aud secured him, and took the track
back to North Vernon. where the lu-
matte was placed in Jail. When ques:
toned as 70, thetcausc Of ibis strange
conduct, the amateur engineer said he
had wanted a locomotive for n long
time, and he thought that was tho best
chance he would ever have. The train
was crowded with people, and but for
the presence of mind Of the fireman,
the consequences would have been
frightful. -LouistfHe Ledger.

sL.ekinR suicide.

NoRwA1.K, Conn.,, September 21.-AI
most distressing casualty happened
about one mile above the town this
morninfi, at 6 o'clock, arousing the
neighborhood, who awoke but to find
that q terrific explosion by gunpoHder'
had taken place. 1t was soon ascer-
tained that it proceeded from the house
of Mr.. VIM. J. Mills, on James street,
near the Silver Mine road, and occu-
pied by Horatio Il. Cook. On proceed
ing thither a most horrible sight pre-
sented itself. The house was
LITERALLY RENT IN TWAIN,
Its east end blown out, the roof lifted.
windows gone, ceiling demolished, and
all on fire. But the most sickening
sight was the blackened and disfigured
corpse OF poor Cook, which lay thrown
back, buried In the burning debris.
Mrs. Cook was also found seriously
injured, and In q most pitiable condi-
tion, Crazed by the conclusion, she
was frantically throwing herself about
In her night-clothes, and screaming for
aid. The first effort was to extinguish
the flames, which was soon done, when
Mrs. Cook was removed to the house
of a neighbor. She furnishes the fol-
lowing account of tho circumstances
preceding the affair:
It Is known that Mr. Cook belongs
to q family p~redisposed to insanity,
and Horatio, when a lad, was kicked
in the head by a horse, from which he
has no doubt specially suffered. de
WAS IN TIE INSANE ASYLUM
| At Hartford two years, some i've or
six years ago. During the last few
| weeks he has been Ill from intermittent
fever and congestion of the BRAIN. In
consequence Of this illness he had oc-
cupled the largest of two adjoining
bedrooms, and Mrs. Cook the smaller
one. Just before daylight, he having
a child, called his wife up and desired
her to lie down beside him. This she
did, and, falling asleep, he quietly
arose and went into her room, where,
at the foot of the bed, there had been
stored q keg about half full Of
BLASTING POWDER,
Which he used In his business as q
rock-blaster. 1t would seem from the
position of tho remains that he moved
the key out FROM under the bed, laid
himself over it and touched 1t oil.
Previous to exploding the powder he
had carefully gathered up all Of Mrs:
Cooks clothing in the upper part OF
the house, and thrown them down the
cellar, with the view Of their preser-
walton, thus showing entire delibera-
ton In planning his own destruction.
10 the fact that the house was very
slightly built and the windows up and
the bedroom doors open may Re at
tributed the
ALMOST MARVELLOUS ESCAPE
Of Mrs. Cook-the only occupant OF
the house ut the time. This morning,
when we visited the premises, shreds
Of bedding, clothing and the charred
fragments of the building were smoul-
ldering for many rods about the house:
The remains are ~shocklngly blackened
and burned ; but not so badly mutt
lated as would be supposed. Nothing
SO horrible and sickening to behold
has ever transpired in this community
since the shocking draw-brldge accl'
dent at South Norwalk in May, 1858
Memories of that event are brought up
BY this awful occurrence.

tFron the o,.fl.nd MONTHLY

tFrom the Overland Monthly.1
The gold and silver annually pro-
duced upon the Pacific coast approxi-
mates $50, 900, 000-an amount that
will be greatly increased within the
next two or three years. Only Q little
more than twenty years have elapsed
since we began mining for these metals.
during which time we have extracted
$1,000, 000, 600; to, say nothing of the
other forms Of wealth created by our
comparatively limited population
meantime. Never before, perhaps,
have 10 small a humber of people built
up and established upon permanent
footing such q broad aud profitable
business In so short q period. But
this has not been accomplished with
out much loss to individuals, and even
the most costly sacrifices on the part
Of large classes Of the community. As
In the founding of every other Inn
portant discovery, time and the expen-
dlture Of vast sums Of money have been
required to bring mining to Its present
state of perfection, nearly all the ex-
periments and trials made In the fur
therance of this business having been
carried on under condition, involving
great hardship and heavy expense.
Hence, while 1t has brought ample
reward, aud even opulency, to some,
1t has Injured only In loss to the many,
who have, consequently, felt sore over
their want of success, seeking often to
attribute, and sometimes. with good
cause, their failure to the fault OF
others. Thus, the. prospeotor and To-
Gator of mines Is prone to censure the
capitalists, and vice versa, each con-
ceiving that the other had been over
reaching, remiss, OF otherwise 'instru-
mental In working him a wrong. This
indiscriminate indulgence of this feel
ing, though natural enough, Is apt to
do both parties Injustice, since, over
looking exceptional causes, q survey
Of the field Of operations, so'remote
and vast, aud q consideration OF the
troubles inherent to q new and difficult
business, tend to show that these
mncied wrongs were generally the re-
suit Of excusable ignorance or una
yoidable~' necessity, rather than a will
full error. And, as such, they should
be overlooked In passing Judgment
upon the pioneers in this great indus
try. ....
