ZONES HAS COME,


The "Great Commoner" arrived
this morning at Gold Hill after an ab-
sence which has been prolonged for
months. AS a citizen. we cordially
welcome him home I; as a politician.
we sigh when we think that hs has
come to fill his political grave. As
freud and neighbor, we like him. As
a candidate for the United States SEN
ate. We oppose him. He has not yet
been chosen the standard bearer Of the
Republican party, and no one that We
are aware Of will hall his appearance
with the exultant joy which Henry Of
Navarre's presence called forth at the
battle Of lvry. We hope that he will
be Influenced by the advice of his true
friends, and announce that he has
withdrawn from the political arena.
AS a manipulation Of mining stocks, he
has been extremely successful. He
has made AL immense fortune BY bear
Ing or bulling stocks, while thousands
Of poor men have lost their all. Grown
ambitious Of political distinction, he
aspires to al office which the people Of
Nevada have no desire that he should
fill. Who are his supporters? Arc
they found as 4 general thing among
the respectable men Of u party ?
Hardly. MI. Jones has qualities
which we admire. He Is a generous
hearted, kindly disposed man, but
what q following he has. Falstaff's
ragged army would be nowhere II COM
pared with Jones' brigade Of wire pull
lers and strikers. Let him follow Mr..
Sharon's example, and authorize the
GOLD HILL News to formally an
nounce that by the suggestion OF
friends and the promptings of his own
good Judgment, he has finally conclud-
ed to withdraw his name as a candid
ate for the United States Senate. We
shall be impelled by a sense Of duty to
do all that we honorably n to pre-
vent his election should lie persist, not
withstanding our advice, on being a
candidate for the Senatorial toga. We
hope he will, after cool reflection, ac-
knowledge the soundness of our advice

He Is worse than Iago. There Is such

adopting the opposite extreme-just

inordinate, burlesque aduiation. In
this connection, we will state that Sha-
ron Is coming up pretty soon to stump

EXTRACTION or A CANCER.

We were shown yesterday, says the

there ever since the girl was a year
old. as there had been Il small red spot
visible. 1t did not commence to grow,
however, until a month or two ago.
and when extracted had approached

The use of tinted paper for ballot,
as prescribed by law in California,
may cause some counties to be dlsfrau-
chised. as VIC understand there Is q
scarcity Of that kind Of paper. The
object Of the law was to prevent voters
from being intimidated BY their en-
ployers, IS the adoption Of q uniform
color Of ballots would make it impos'
sible for a looker-on to tell which
party the voter favored. It would
have been much better II the law had
specified white paper instead Of pink,
as there are many shades Of that color
which might DO used, which. although
the statute might DO complied with,
would still indicate the preference oil
tho voter. With plain white paper
this objection would be obyiated'
Should any n manage to destroy, on
the morning Of election. the purple
paper which Is prescribed, many dis
tricts might be prevented from vot-
ing. Shrewd spectators might also
create q lucrative "~corner" by buy
Ing up all that particular colored pa
per In market. Surely the law makers
never contemplated such results of the
law as these. The next Legislature
will doubtless change the law and
prescribe that plain white paper shall
be used for ballots.

The GID MANIC,


The removal Of the large frame hull
ding, constituting the Mantle hotel.
San Francisco, to give place to a more
substantial and permanent structure.
has brought to llghta we'll remembered
relic Of the first gold excitement In
California. being one other than the
hull Of the old ship Mantle, over
which the hotel was built. one of the
first vessels that arrived In that port
after the discovery OF gold. She was
fitted out In New York for a whaling
voyage. and was commanded by Capt.
II. Cleveland, Of Marths's Vineyard.
After a few weeks at Rhode Island,
where all her whaling apparatus was
put on board. the Mantle set sail. On
her voyage she touched at Paita, above
Callao, aud there learned Of the dis.
covery OF Gold In California. Captain
Cleveland was informed that thousands
of eager adventures were waiting fe-
verishly at Panama for some means of
transportation to the gold fields. This
appeared better than whaling. Casks,
boats. aud all surplus freight was put
ashore, aud the Mantle steered for
Panama. Her arrival was hailed with
Joy by the gold seekers. They poured
OH bosrd In hundreds. No price was
deemed too high for a passage to the
new Ell Dorado. Captain Cleveland
slowed away as many as his vessel
would hold. and forwarded $4,000 In
gold coin to her owners, the amount Of
the passage money collected. The
cost of the Mantle was about $50, 900.
This was paying for herself with inter-
est, and besides exceeded the entire
expense Of her whaling outfit. On ar.
irving at San Francisco, not only were
the Panama passengers put ashore, but
NIL the crew, rs a matter Of course, de-
serted for the diggings. Nor could
money procure a handful Of men sulll-
Client to work her homo so, like many
other ships, the Mantle became n per-
manent fixture. Captain Cleveland,
therefore, sold her to a man who used
1t as a storehouse. Houses were erected
OH the deck, and lodgings let at rates
that 90 far beyond che tariff Of our
tlrst-class hotels to-day, and many a
weary miner, sad and disappointed
from the months Of unsuccessful labor,
has laid down to rest In the shelter Of
the timbers Of this old ship.

IInian Republican Ticket.
THE COMING NOMINATIONS.

On Saturday the Republicans here
hold their primaries, and we trust no
delegate to the County or State Con-
yention will DO elected who is not
known to be a good, honorable Repub-
lican. The county offices which are to
be filled, require only men Of ordinary
ability, but they should be honest.
Men work sometimes for years to Oh
tain them, they plan, lay political
pipe, and resort to every measure to
obtain the coveted prize. Often deceit,
fraud and bribery are among the meth
DDS. These In turn have q reflex ac-
ton. slow, perhaps, but SURF upon the
morals Of the community, which are
eventually corrupted, and the Tester
Ing sore gaining strength as it spreads,
will In time make the whole body pol
itic a mass Of rottenness. This corrup-
ton should be checked before the evil
shall become too great. In the selec-
ton Of nominees we should give the
preference to those who have served
the longest in the party, everything
else being equal. While We are dis
posed to receive new converts with
open arms, we do not deem II
advisable to elect them to office
until they shall have served q pro.
baton. To do otherwise would
DO an act of great injustice to those
who have borne the brunt of the bat,
tie. With good, honorable and capa.
BILE men as our candidates, We shall
have no doubt of their election by the
people. Remember that It is Of vita
Importance that we should put In nom.
inatlon our best men. Let US, one
aud all, try to purify the party from
any faint Of corruption that may hang
around It by requiring Of a candidate
that he should be honest and capable,
The delegates to the County Conven'
ton should feel that u great response

will ratify or reject their nomination

MAYHEM EXTRAORDINARY.

From the Rocky Mountain Gazette, Asg. 1851
One Of the richest aud most extraor-
binary incidents which has aver come
to our observation, recently occurred
at Argenta, and the particulars Of
which come to is through the columns
of the Montanian. aud In a private let.
ter addressed to a gentlemen In this
city. 1t seems that Jimmy O'Leary
aud Jimmy O'Neil, two clever nut
pugnaclous sons of the Emeral Isle,
had a fight In u bar-room of the place,
In the course Of which O'Leary bit Off
n piece Of O'Niel's ear. Through the
Intervention Of friends the parties af-
forwards made up the quarrel, took a
drink together and went home. O'Lea-
ry retired to a hotel where he slept In
a room In company with five or SIX
others. But there vas no sleep for
O'Neil. The more he felt that ear.
the more the designation banished
rest from his eyelids, peace from his
mind and ease from his troubled
breast. IAN eye tor an eye and a
tooth for a tooth ?" Revenge Is sweet
and O'Neil determined to have 1t.
Procuring a razor, which he sharpened
on a boulder, he waited until O'Leary
and his room-mates had gone to sleep;
then he raised the window, crept Into
the room, and cut off O'Leary's ear
close to his head! Having done this
without disturbing O'Leary or any Of
his companions, he left the room as he
came. When O'Leary awoke In the
morning, he found his head lying In a
considerable pool of blood and his a
OH n pillow close by Its side. Our
friend Kerley, of the Independent, was
one Of those sleeping In the room, and
when he found out what had been 60
ing OH was considerably agitated, and
Immediately commenced hunting for
his ear, which he found at last nestled
In behind his neck and under his shirt
collar.
Upon the commission Of this "deed
OF darkness and revenge" O'Neil fled
to the Businesses Of. the mountains,
while O'Leary mourns and refuses to
be comforted because of the loss Of his
precious auricle. This Is just a leetle
ahead Of any case of revenge we have
ever heard of In the Territory.
