Political LESSONS. - The press all
ever the State, has been busy since the
sste election, in pointing out the lessons
which are to be drawn from the results.
AFTER an apparent general revolution in
public sentiment, it is always easy to in
fer the causes by which such apparent
revolution has been brought about, and
so FAR as this county is concerned, with
out going back to inquire into causes, we
propose to deducc one or two of the les
sons which have been taught.
In the first place, the Republicans have
been taught that the old theory that the
"office should seek the man." is only a
mythical piece of political philosophy,
which, while it sounds well in principle,
and looks beautiful as a sentiment cannot,
in this county, be carried into Practice
Hereafter, when conventions meet, and
select men as candidates by reason Of
Their character rs citiz2ns and their su-
pcrior qualifications for the designated
positions, they will be given to under
stand that experience has shown that
such nominations do not always carry
with them the weight which they should.
In proof Of this we have but to point to
one Of the lessons" Of this election, in
which the men who we're brought before
the people as tribute to their personal
worth and fitness, and not because they
were political aspirants, have each run
far behind the party vote Of the county.
If the candidates on the other side had
been possessed of greater abilities, or of
better standing as citizens. we could ad-
nit such as good reasons for them to find
supporters in cur party; but no such
reasons can be given. Hereafter no Re
publican need be urged by the wishes of
personal fIieads, nor the proceedings Of IL
convention Of his party to accept can
didacy from the party in opposition to
his own personal interests or feelings
Experience shows that even the prestige
of an unsought nomination ovails moth
ing toward securing united party sup
port.
Another "lcsson" that we gather is,
that little judicious lying on the eve of
election has very salutary effect for the
party in whose interest it is done. And
it is not absolutely necessary that any lit
tie fables put in circulation should have
even the probabilities of truth, if they
have an air Of plausibility and contain
the magic word railroad"-which we
believe to be thing indispensable. Man
is naturally so constituted that he is more
ready to believe evil than good of his fel-
low-man, and by working judciousiy up
on this feeling, a close contest may often
be decided.

DANGERS OF TuE MINE.-From Sutter
Creek comes another of those periodical
horrors, which show the danger to which
miners are exposed. Seventeen men
were at work in the 800 foot level of the
Lincoln mine when OIL breaking through
into an old tunnel, there came rush OF
foul air and water, which cut off the re-
treat of all but four, one of whom died in
great agony after reaching the surface.
The pumps were at once put to work to
relieve the mine, and worked day and
night. On the second day the alarm bell
was rung from below, causing intense ex-
citement among the families Of those who
were lost in the mine. Soon after man
came to the surface who informed the
crowd that there were three others alive
yet, the rush of water had closed up the
mouth Of the tunnel in which they were
at work. shutting out the foul air, and
they had been in their living tomb thirty
Fix hours. They were finally brought
safely to the surface.

SIsKHoU NEws.-We clip the follow
ing items from the Yreka Union OF Sept.
9th: We learn that a party of three
men, tramps, who have been plundering
the various towns and stopping places on
the stage road in Oregon all the way up
from Portland, are now in California.
They robbed Beekman's house in Jack
sonvlle, one at Ashland, and also one
just the other side of Cottonwood, yester-
day morning. They were seen on the
road between here and the Klamath river
on Friday afternoon, and no doubt are
among Us now. We therefore advise our
citizens to keep their doors shut and their
eyes open. If we were the gents referred
to we would either keep right on without
stopping or turn back Immediately. This
county is very unhealthy for their kind
and our citizens generally have to pay
for the cofIin."u.,... DR.. REAM performed
an important surgical operation on the
left ankle of A. Lape at the County Hos
pital yesterday. AS stated in our last is
sue, Lape sustained bad fracture Of the
ankle by being thrown from the wagon
/ Of a runaway team. II became necessary
to remove about three inches Of the tibo
large bone Of the leg-froln the inster
joint upwards. A shorter piece Of The
small bone was also removed. The opcr
alton was performed with the view o
saving, if possible, the foot of the pa,ient
DR.. Ream was assisted by Chas. BARGE

REDDIHG BrENED.-By the kindness
of friend IN Shasta, we received a letter
written after the mail for this place had
closed, containing intelligence that the
town of Rcdding, in Shasta county, had
been partially burned down. The fire
originated in the vacant house adjoining
Crolton's saloon, and is supposed to be
the work Of an incendiary. The grocery
stores of c. c. Bush & Co., and w. w.
Williams, the Drug store of L. Wclcn-
dortf, Crofton's saloon and a number of
other buildings were burned. The total
losses are undoubtedly large.

THE NATHAN TRAGEDY. Our readers
doubtless remember the mysterious mur-
der of Nathan three years ago in New
York City, and the absence of all clue to
the perpetrators Of the crime. Lately,
however, man named j. 7. Irving, in
San Francisco, processes a knowledge of
the crime which duplicates himself and
others, among whom is son Of the mur-
dered man. Little attention was paid to
him at first, it being believed that he was
either insane or trying to obtain free
passage to New York, but later confess
sions and developments are beginning to
make the police departmental New York
think that Irving really knows more OF
that horrible affair than they at first gave
him the credit of knowing. 1t would be
strange, indeed, if the old adage tbat
"murGer will out' should be verified in
this case, and the perpetrators of the dark
crime be taken in their lancied security,
and made TO expiate their guilt upon the
scailold.
