The city election ON Monday passed on
very quietly indeed. and very satisfactory
ly. From the industrious canvass before
the election, and the interest taken, it was
thought BY some that the spirit Of discord
would appear at the polls, but nothing Of
the Kind happened. In Ward three there
was some dissatisfaction on account Of
ealing the election In the Reeds Brook
district. so far from the centre. and there
fore there was union or citizens caucus,
the nominees of which were elected. but
these are all Republicans, with the excep-
ton Of Mr.. Robbins and Mr.. Saunders,
two of the councilmen. and in Ward
live. where the Democratic nominee,
james +. Cushman was elected. Other
wise than this, the vote was pretty str;Aght
in both parties.
The candidates for Mayor were both good
men and well qualified for the Office. Mr..
Redman Is almost always sure to be nomi-
mated by his party when a candidate is
wanted for any elective Office of any kind,
because of his good business qualities and
unexceptional character. Mr.. Peck Is a
successful business man. An earnest Re
publican. and gives his undivided attention
to any business that he undertakes. We
predict that he will make successful and
popular Mayor.
Mayor Davis who retires after two years
of unremitfed toll. leaves the city affairs in
good condition. The city finances which
were rather confuse.l and in a condition
Of uncertainty, have been reduced to order,
and the cify's Indebtedness fully ascertain-
ed. The routine work Of the city has been
systcmatixed, and the labor OF those just
elected will be comparatively easy.
Below will be found the vote Of the city

Quarrel and be Friends. J.

The Evening Post sees in the late quarrels
among Republicans evidence of health by
life, and warns the Democrats NOT be
too sanguine of success in the next Presi-
DENTAL election. 1t says:
But they ought rather to regard it
sign Of healthful vigor that the Republi-
cans all over the country freely express
themselves upon passing events. and do
not hesitate to blame where they believe
wrong has been done. 1t used TO be said

nails rejoiced over the dissensions In the

CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNLR.

By permission we publish the following
letter from Newton Booth, of Sacramento,
dated February 18th, and addressed to a
gentleman residing in this county (the
name we suppress at the request of that
gentleman) which settles the question Of
Mr.. Booths candidacy for the Republican
nomination for Governor:
San Francisco,
February IA, 1871.
My DEAR SIR Your esteemed favor
Of the I'd instant came duly to hand, and I
thank you for your kind remembrance,
and for the expression of your esteem and
confidence. Until the past few days had
not given my consent to be candidate
for the nomination for Governor: / have
now done SO, however, and will be grateful
for any support, and highly appreciate,
such as you voluntarily offer from personal
acquaintance.
From what I eau gather here think
McCoppin has the best chance nov to carry
the Democratic primaries in San Francis
CO, though l do not think he can get the
nomination-at the State Convention.
Yours Very Truly,

Mortgage Bonds of the Oregon and Cali

s1O,950,000, of which, s4,l50,0O0 were
issued last year in Germany, and the re-
mainder is yet to be issued, the whole re-
payable in 1890 at par, with principal and
interest payable in New York in gold, and
free of all United States Government tax
The railway is to extend about 300 miles
from Portland, in Oregon, to the Califor-
MIA frontier, where it will join the Califor-
MIA and Oregon Railroad, running to San
Francisco, and at present in course Of
construction; it is partly finished and the
whole, it is expected, will be open for
traffic by the end Of 1872 The company
is also owner of adjacent lands, granted by
the U. s. Government to the extent Of
4,672, 900 acres, all very fertile, and are
to be sold by the boudholders' trustees, for
the purpose of paying off the mortgages.
The price of issue is Elsa Is Sd. per bond
of 81 900, equivalent to 6ea per cent. Of
the nominal value This is one Of the
choicest securities put upon the London
market. The lands are at the rates of
So 25 per acre for the choicest select farm
lands in the world. The loan, will no
doubt, find prompt takers. The bonds
themselves are convertible into the land at
the will of the holders, on presentation to
the trustees, who hold the lands applica-
bic solely to their redemption.

THE IMP OF THE PERvERsE.-The
trial of Laura D. Fair, for the murder of
Crittenden, is set for March 27, in the
Fifteenth District Court, Judge Dwinell
presiding. We knew this strange woman
in Yreka, in 1859. She was then the wife
of Capt Samuel D. Fair, lawyer aud a
very much respected citizen of that town.
The ladies of Yreka knew something
of her erratic life, and Mrs. Fair did not
60 into society. The family left the place
soon after the time mentioned above, separ-
ated, and Capt. Fair committed suicide
in San Francisco Laura Hunt, the woman
referred to, was at one time reckoned the
most beautiful girl in Alabama. The
family, who were poor, removed to New
Orleans, where Laura married rich old
man, from whom she soon separated, and
then commenced career which at length
brought her to the foot of the gallows
This wretched woman seems to have
been one of those who are said to be under
the influence of the Imp of the Perverse
or, as the Scriptures have it, possessed Of
the Devil. We have known people Of tha,
kind, whose instincts seemed to be "evil
and only evil, continually" and sometimes
we have half mind to believe in the

ly impressed upon the actors and specta-
tors for long years to follow The occasion
was double baptism, the prominent one
being that of Lotta, the little actress, whose
engagement at the St. Charles Theatre
has attracted to that place of amusement
all that is refined and fashionable in this
city, for the past four weeks.
The Rev. DR.. Leacock made his appear
ance about halfpast three, and, after hav-
ing been introduced to the company, grasp
ed the tiny hands of Lotta, saying, "I have
longed to see you, but was not permitted
to do So" and then added few words of
congratulation to her upon her proposed
admission into the Church of Christ
Lotta was simply and modestly attired like
little lady as she is in the full meaning
of the word, in black silk underskirt,
deeply plated at the hem, with an over
skirt and boddice of the same material, the
overskirt being looped at the sides. Over
the bodice she wore bretelcs of light
blue silk, which contrasted charmingly
with the black of her dress, and was in
excellent harmony with her fresh complex
ion and auburn hair, and looked as bright
as the beautiful sky outside, which poured
its gorgeous light into the room with a
generous warmth. At signal of the ven
cradle minister the company arose, and
Lotta knelt before chair at the centre
table, and the company Joined in prayer
The ceremony of baptism was then per-
formed, Mr.. Leaeock reading the exercises
from a relic Of the past, which had been
loaned for the occasion by Miss Bette
Irwin, granddaughter of the sage of Ash
lannd, upon the fy-leaf of which was in
scribed the following: "lIon H. Clay,
Ashland, Ky, with the respectful regards
of Mrs. T. Alleboue, Philadelphia, 184S !"
and presented by that lady when the great
Harry of the West Joined the Episcopal
Church. If the ceremony was imposing it
was not little enhanced by the presence
of this book, that had belonged to one of
the greatest statesmen the world has ever
produced.

THIRTY PARrRIDcEa IN THIRTY

The Washington Star Of the 18th inst
has the following:
Mr.. Henderson, who, it will be remsm-
bered, is eating one partridge each morn.
ing between nine and ten o'clock for thirty
successive mornings, on a wager Of $500 a
side, is still engaged in that agreeable busi-
ness at Miller's Kloman House, and this
morning put himself outside Of his twen-
tieth bird. he commenced by taking the
birds broiled, but at number twelve got
tired of that style Of cooking, and has since
taken them stewed. 1t would appear that
be is beginning to get surfsited with the
stewed also, ny this morning when the bird
was set before him he cut it 10 half, eating
one luoiety, and then taking rest until
his hour was nearly out before be eat the
remainder Thus far he has fallen off
tWeuty-one and half pounds in weight,
and his complexion is like that Of "clean
shirt" IF he is troubled with nausea be
keeps the fact to himself, and is confident
of accomplishing the feat Some who saw
him devour thirteen dozen raw oysters and
three dozen fried ditto at one meal on
wager a few months since, are putting up
their money on him; and others, who put
up money that he would not accomplish
the present feat, having watched him close
ly every morning, are now becoming, shaky
about their stakes. 1t is said that man
who could eat half bushel of cut straw,
in which three dozen raw eggs were mixed,
failed in similar feat to this. The time
will be up on the 25th inst, and as it ap-
proaches the interest increases.
