THE GREAT RAcE.-The California
race-stock was triumphant in the great
four mile and repeat race over Ocean
View course, at San Francisco, on Sat-
urday last. Great excitement existed in
sporting circles while the race was on
the tapis, and it was calculated that over
800, 900 changed hands on the event.
Four horses were entered for the race,
one Of which was distanced in the first
heat. Four heats were run, one being
won by each of the three horses, and the
fourth one was gained by "Thad Ste
vens," the California horse, winning for
his owner $4,000 of the purse. "True
Blue" a noted Eastern racer won the
second heat but in the beginning of the
third one strained leg or the race might
have had different termination. In re-
turning from the race grounds num-
Der Of vehicles run off the grade and ma
ny persons were injured, but none seri-

A NOVEL SUIT.-A trial is to come
off in London, that involves several points
in authorship that will give it interest to
the reading world. A popular lady au-
thor agreed with London publisher to
write him a book, and received 81, 900 ad-
vance payment. Shortly after, the pub
Usher died, and closely upon his decease
the husband of the lady author became
bankrupt. The book was written, but
instead of handing it over to the execu-
tors Of the deceased publisher, who are
now carrying on his business, the lady
sold it to another firm and was paid for it
over again. The executors feeling ag-
grieved, have applied to the Court of
Chancery to compel the fulfllment of the
contract. These are the points raised
The author contends that the executors
are ordinary creditor, who ought to have
come in and shared with her husbands
other creditors, and not having done 50
are not entitled to relief. The executors
for their part declare that they know
nothing of the husband, and had always
done business with her. Having been
informed that the suit is chancery, and
knowing something of the tedious pro
ceedings of that body, as happily hit off
in the case Of Jarndyce VS.. Jarndyce,
none of the present generation need hope
to live long enough to ascertain the final
decision IS. Il. CAL.

A MONOPOLY WHICH CONCERNS U.s.
If it lies in the power of the Legislature
to effect anything in the premises, it
would be well to have action taken upon
the questions relating to the quicksilver
supply. This necessary adjunct of min
ing operations commands price in the
market which seriously affects the gold
product Of the country. From being
sold as low as 20 cents a few years ago for
miners use, it now ranges over one dollar
pound at the wholesale market.
Within the past six or eight years
quicksilver has come into more extended
and general use than in the early days of
mining. Large fumes have taken the
place of the simple appliances formerly
in use, and experience has shown that
large quantities of quicksilver freely scat
tered the length Of fume no matter
what its length, will pay well on the
money so invested. Much of the metal
is lost in the course of a seasons opera
tions, the loss Of course being proportion
ate to the quantity in use. The character
of the gold found in the general run of
claims, along the river especially, is such
that much Of it cannot be saved except
by the free use Of quicksilver. Under
these circumstances, the addition of thirty
or forty cents pound on this needed ar
ticle, becomes a matter of Importance to
claim owners where from fifty to two
or three hundred pounds are kept in con-
slant use. The quicksilver mines of this
State are fully capable of supplying all
the quicksilver used in mining operations
in this State and in Nevada, and it can
be produced and sold at seventy cents.
But coupl e Of years since the quicksil-
yer trade was monopolized by certain
parties, the supply limited to a certain
number of TASKS per annum, and the re-
suit was that quicksilver advanced stead
lily in price from that time to the present.
1t has been suggested that the Legislature
give substantial encouragement towards
the development Of newly discovered cin-
nabar mines, and in that way may slim
ulate its production. Some action of this
kind is needed on the premises.

PITIFuL.-It is truly pitiful to see the
subterfuges and sophistries the organ of
the relormers descends to, to screen its
great model from public censure for the
part he has taken in violating the Consti-
tuition to put an extra thousand dollars a
year in his own pocket. Its latest effort
labors to show that the extra salary is for
the performance of extra duties Unfor-
tunately the duties pertained to the office
before the immaculate Newton was chos-
en- to fill it, so that dodge won't work. If
Haight and Low were to apply FOR four
thousand dollars each back pay" as
members of the Board of Examiners,
would the organ think it right it should
be given them. To be consistent it should
take that view. We don't want our Gov
ernors to work for nothing, and what we
pay one should be paid to the other
Then let us have the Legislature grant
him extra pay as Capitol Commissioner,
as Regent of the University, as the person
who grants pardons, in fact, for every
service pertaining to the office. The
Great Reformer would not object.

REPORT OF THE STATE GEoLoGIsT.-
j. ID. Whitney, State Geologist, has just
completed his biennial report to the Gov
ernor. He gives an account of the work
done on a number of maps and ornitho-
logical and other scientific books now in
course of publication, and states that in
asmuch as the Legislature has been un-
willing to appropriate sufficient amount
Of money 20 enable him to carry on the
work as fast as desirable, he has conelud-
ed to sever his connection with that de-
partment, and will under no circumstan-
ces serve longer than July 1st, 1875. He
asks for the early appropriation of $780,
600 to enable him to complete work now

A NEW ELBOW JoINT.-Surgery is ev-
identity keeping pace with the progress of
the age. DIR. A. Andris presented a case
to the San Francisco Medical Society last
Tuesday evening, of man named Boil
litti, who had the bones of his elbow
joints SO hopelessly diseased as to require
removal. He cut out two inches above
two inches below the elbow joint, and so
bandaged the arm as to prevent the con-
traction of the muscles. Not only did a
new bone grow, but a new elbow joint
was formed, and that arm is as strong
and flexible as the other. This is Il
rough story, but all the medical faculty
of San Francisco took it, and we suppose
we will have to do so. What comes
next?-C0Lusd S4n.

A STRANGE SUICIDE. - Two young
men of San Francisco, Charles Dodge
and Joseph Farraday, were intimate
friends, and suitors for the hand of the
same young lady. Last Friday night
the two went together to the California
Theater, and between the acts went out
and drank glass of beer. Returning to
the theater, Dodge tell insensible, was
conveyed home, and died about three
o'clock in the morning. One of the ply
sicians said that the symptoms shown by
Dodge were those of poisoning. Farra-
day remained with him until be died.
then went to his room where his brother
was sleeping, and after writing three let
ters got into bed and shot himself with
pistol, producing mortal wound. From
the letters he had written, it seemed he
feared he would be accused of having
poisoned his friend, whose death an au-
topsy revealed to have been occasioned
by the bursting of small blood vessel on
the brain. Farraday held the position
filed by Jules Greenhood nephew of II.
Greenhood, formerly of Weaverville,) y at
the time of his death, who also commit
ted suicide.

How A TAX TITLE ExTINGUIsHEs
MORTGAGES AND OTHER LIENs.-We
heretofore advised our readers to pay
their taxes promptly, says the Real Es-
tate Circular, and under no circumstan-
ces to permit their land to be sold for
taxes and deed to issue thereon. Any
person who has lien on real estate, by
way of mortgage or otherwise, should al
ways see that the owner of the property
has paid the taxes on the same; for, if
the property is sold, in due form, for tax
es, and conveyance issues, all liens Of
whatever kind, are thereby extinguished.
This principle has always been recog-
nized by the courts, and the Supreme
Court, in the case of Dougherty VS.. Har-
vel, has recently affirmed in its fullest ex-
tent. The rule on this subject is that
tax sale and tax conveyance, in due form
of taxes, extinguishes all prior liens.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

THE LEGIsIATURE.--This body meets
one week from Monday next. In neither
house has any of the three parties a ma
jority-the Republicans preponderate in
the Senate, the Independents in the House
while each Of the three parties have in
the neigbborhood of forty votes on joint
ballot. Unless, therefore, compromise
of some kind is entered into, a great deal
Of delay will ensue in effecting the legis-
latlve organization. 1t occurs to us that
this matter may as well be settled in the
beginning as to wait until score or more
of useless ballots have been taken, for it
has got to come to that in the end. 1t
should be made, too, without reference to
the Senatorial struggle soor to follow;
each question should BE decided for itself.
The Union, which affects to see railroad
in everything, says that the programme
/ Of the railroad, (that is, the epublicans,)
is to give up everything to secure Boruck
for Clerk. 1t may be that the Republic
ans are prepared to make some sacrifices
to retain one who has proved himself an
efficient officer. But those who know
that the proprietors of the Union have
personal spite against Boruck, which
manifested itself heretofore by cutting off
of its exchange list Boruck's paper, the
SPIRIT Of the Times, will be inclined to
believe that this assertion is made through
pure malice, and by raising the cry of
RAILROAD" which proved so effective in
the late campaign, injure Mr.. Boruck's
chances by arraying against him the an
ti-railroad element Of all parties in the
Legislature. Such a course of procedure
is second nature to the Union. If there
is not ''single out and out friend of the
railroad" elected to the Legislature, as
the Union asserted directly after the Sep
tenn Der election, what hope can can the
railroad" have of carrying out such
programme The Union stands con-
victed Of falsehood by its own showing.
We think the organization of the Leg
islature will have to be effected by union
of Democrats and Republicans, without
consultation with the Dolly Warden ele-
ment. Their organ advises them not to
caucus with either party, and their plat
form releases them from being bound by
any action caucus of their party may
take. If this course is adopted, the DEM
ocrats can take the organization of one
House, the Republicans of the other and
legislation move along unchecked.

GENERA AL POLLOCK.

General Pollock, Superintendent of the
Philadelphia mint, is still here and will
probably investigate the charges made
against General La Grange. As sort
of preliminary to this duty he preached
last night in DR.. Stones church before
the American Tract Union. He had a
large audience and is very pleasant
known what time the investigation into
the mint affairs will begin, possibly it is
going on now, for the whole business has
taken the air Of secresy from The first.

generally pretty fair and lots of new

ten months of this year 56,395 through
passengers were conveyed over the Cent
raj Pacific Railroad, an increase of 10, ,902
over the same time last year. OF the to-
tai number this yoar 20,547 went East
and 35,351 came West-an increase of
15,304 to the population of the State by
railroad in ten months. The net gain of
population by sea and land routes this
year is 80, ,4S8, nearly twice as much as it
was last year.

ment by the American Government of

any of her own subjects, there is no rea-
son why she should not acknowledge the

Six years ago one james East killed a
man by the name of Scott, who then re-
sided on Butler Creek, Umatilla county,
Oregon. He made his escape, but was

Lton, on the stage, and voluntarily snrren-
dered himself TO the authorities. The oc-
