EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

WoN'T WIN.-We are ;od by that
portion Of the press which affects to be-
ieve that Governor Booth is the only
Republican in this State who is honest
enough to represent California in the
United States Senate, that the Sierra
County Resolutions are right and proper.
These resolutions simply deny the right
of any Republican to run for Legislative
nomination unless he will previously
pledge himself to vote for " Newton III
Booth " for United States Senator. We
are told that this mode of procedure Is
correct because it places the election of
Senator directly before the people How
the muzzling OF a portion of the dominant
party can make the Senator elected under
such al arbitrary arrangement " the peo-
ple's CHOICE" we fail to see. If none
other than Booth men" are allowed to
contest for the party nominations, how,
we should like to know, are those Repub-
licans who favor Goodwin, FELTON,, or
some other aspirant, to manifest their
choice At the primaries they must
either vote for the men set up for them,
or not vote at all. This is certain way
of procuring the nomination of "Booth
men," but how will it be when it comes
to the election Can Republicans be ex-
pected to vote for a ticket in the nomina-
ton of which they had no choice? A
County Committee may be influenced
and nominations be secured through such
base frauds as the Sierra Resolutions, but
we don't think they can be made to win
in general election. Nominations are
not equivalent to elections in these days,
and party which does not give all its
members a voice in nominating its ticket
deserves to be defeated.

"B0GUS CHARLEY" INTERVIEWED
YREKA, Nav 18th. IL p. N

YREKA, May 18th, II P. NJ.
Rumors unbounded Of late action and
its result. Three soldiers dead from their
wounds. Camp will be moved in a few
days to the peninsula.
Generals Davis and Gillem returned
from their tour of observation last night
to Lava Bed. 1t is stated that Modocs
have escaped and reached South range on
their way to Big Valley.
Nothing definite known of the running
fight Of the 18th instant. Latest reports
state that fight continues. Donald Nc
Kay, chief of the Warm Spring Indians
is in the hospital sick. Five Modocs are
reported killed. Lieutenant Harris died
on the 18th. Warm Spring Indians lost
one man. Modocs attacked scouting par
ty at daylight, expecting to stampede
them, but only succeeded in stampeding
the horses, which were recovered after
wards. The Warm Spring Indians COM
pletely routed the Modocs. Ex-Sheriff
j. G. Burgess returned this afternoon
from up the klamath. Reports that he
saw and interviewed Bogus Charley, but
did not capture him. He says there were
two other young Modocs with Charley.
Charley says he knew Burgess was after
him, and would not talk unless Burgess
put his rife away. Charley disclaims
any knowledge Of the massacre Of Peace
Commissioners and General Candy. He
says that when he left Captain Jack there
were only thirty warriors, but that they
would fight till the last one was killed or
taken. Says he thinks they can hold out
three or four weeks longer. Burgess
thinks Charley has deserted the Modoc
band and is tired Of fighting.
Generals Davis and Gillem and others,
while crossing the lake in heavy gale
on the evening Of the 10Th, came near
losing their lives by the upsetting Of their
boat
Weekly Trinity journal., 1873-05-17

FROM exchanges we learn that the son
of Rev. DR.. Thomas, who was murdered
with General Candy, has written to Pres
ident Grant and General Sherman asking
that the peace policy towards the "poor
Modocs" be persisted in. "The poor
Modocs were not SO much to blame, ;" etc.
The sons Of some men would have been
in the lava beds with good rifle long ere
this, and probably have made lasting
peace with some of the "poor Modocs" at
least. Such sentimentality as that shown
by young Thomas will not be appreciated.

To COUNTY ASSESSORS. = The State

SACRAMENTO, May 10Th, 1878.
BY decision of the Supreme Court,
rendered May Sth, 1873, in the cases OF
Savings and Loan Society VS.. Austin,
and Bartlett Doe ct al. VS.. Austin, the
doctrine of the cases Of People VS.. Nc
Creary, People VS.. Eddy, Lick VS.. Aus
tin, and People VS.. Whartenby, is practi-
cally overruled, and it is held that solvent
debts of all kinds are not subject to taxa
ton. You will therefore, in making your
assessment, omit all solvent debts, wheth-
er secured by mortgage or otherwise,
State, county and municipal bonds, notes,
judgments for money, scrip, county war
rants, and all other evidences of indebted
ness. And where you have for the pres
ent fiscal year made such assessments,
you will cancel the same before delivery
of the assessment book to the Clerk OF

WHICH IS THE BEST !?
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND

of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sir years, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number, though having existed for
t,oenty years. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need of first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
chine at less cost, because machine of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, 81 will get me d cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my work
at present, and will learn to run q machine,
and sometime will get better.'' To all,
both high and low, we would say: When you
select a Sewing Machine you should be as
particular as you need to be in selecting a
family horse. See that ID has reputation
unexceptional: see that il is made for eaduy-
ancej see that it is sound; see that it is always
ready to go; see that il has no bad tricks; see
that it can do all kinds of work; see that it
is in good health, sc that it will not need con
slant doetorsng; see that you get one You can
depend upon to. do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor baihy machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and a constant source of trouble. Many of
what are called selling points in machine are
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
faney-of those who are sold. II is no great
recommendation in horse for family use that
it can walk on three legs, and SO useless tricks
in a Sewing Machiue should be avoided
Substantial excelences only can stand the
test of time and use. The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civilized
world. u is not sold at an Advance Of
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some of its competitors, but is offered on
such easy terms that persons Of moderate in
come can obtain one by paying small monthly
installments, and thus in time become pos
sessed of machine that Is not cheap in any
sense of the word, but one that will earn its
cost many times over, and bea constant source
of relief and comfort

SOLD BY ALL DRUGGISTS EVERYWHERE.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandrufs and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal yigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
