Senator Mortar on Public Morals.

Senator Mortar recently made q
speech in which he took occasion to
say . good word for the people OF the
present day, at the expense of the old
fogies of 1776-and Whereabouts. There
il . deal Of truth in what the Senator
says. Following is an extract from
his speech:
ASA general rule, the public men
are tit representatives of the people,
and represent the people, especially
in their manners and morals. And
while l am not wanting in %veneration
for the memory and character of our
fathers, l am sure l do them no injus-
tice when l say that the mass OF the
people of this country at the present
day are their superiors in morals, edu-
cation, ndintelligence. Their means
Of improvement and their opportuni-
ties are vastly greater than were those
OF the fathers; and as a general rule
their public men have kept pace with
them. l believe the world is growing
better instead of worse, aud especially
this part of the world in which we
live; that the principles Of free gov
eminent are better understood in this
country to-day than ever before; hat
there is more devotion to them, and
that the sacrifices for preservation Of
the Union in the war of the rebellion
were to say the least, of far greater
magnitude and quite equal in degree
to those made in the Revolution. HUI
man rights are better understood and
more strictly enforced than ever be-
fore; and whereas, at the time of the
Revolution, there were a few men
who, rising above all their contem-
poraries, perceived the great wicked
ness and dangers of human slavery,
the mass of the nation has now come
to comprehend it. AS our fathers in
the Revolution were wiser than the
colonists, so is the generation of to-
day wiser and better than the fathers"

Assessors Report,

We devote much Of our space in to-
days SENTINEL to the publication of
the official report Of County Asses
sor C.. c. Wallace. 1t is an exhaust
i've statement of the of the
new county of Eureka, and should be
read by everyone. The various in
dustries are alluded to in fitting
terms, and we imagine that the show
ing made will give general satisfac.
ton. 1t will be observed that the as
sessed value of taxable property in
Eureka county aggregates more than
two million dollars. This insures a
healthy condition of our county
finances for the next year, and we
may reasonably assume that under
no circumstances can our script fall
much short of par.

SAN Francisco. Sent. 3

SAN ~RANClSCO, Sept 3.
The election opened quietly at the
polls, but voting i>very brisk already.
Reports from all the wards show
good order. All tickets are extensive
lN scratched, many voting for Ualli-
die and Irving NJ. Scott for the Sen
ate. For Mayor, tickets are generally
voted straight. There is much scratch
ing in favor Of COckrill against Crow
ley. The contest between these meu
Will be very close. Workers for all
the tickets are industrious, but it is a
noticeable fact thus far hat most of
the voters come to the polls with their
tickets made up by themselves. Most
places OF business are closed for a
part or the whole of the day. The
Cliff House brigade is smaller than
eve before, for the contest is exciting
enough to keep them at home. The
probability Is strong that the railroad
ticket will be defeated.
The election generally passed off
very quietly. Few drunken men and
few disturbances Of any kind. 1t is
impossible to obtain returns tonight.
1t Is estimated that the vote of the
city IS between -, 00u and % DOC.
judgments differ a. to the result. II
IS generally conceded, however, that
the Autobiography ticket has won.
This is only guess work, for it is inn
possible to distinguish the tickets. and
most voters went to the polls with
prepared ballots. The result for
Chief of Police will be very close.
The vote was smaller Throughout the
city than was anticipated.
A dispute occurred Just after the
close of the polls tonight between
John Gallagher and a man named
Jaynes, known as Johnny Stickeen.

BOOTH AND CASSERLY.-Some of the
Bay papers admit that there was COL
fusion between Casserly and Booth in
the late political battle in the Golden
State, and at least one print c~onfesses
that Casserly out-generaled the Gov
ernor. That has been u opinion all
the time. Booth is no match Tor Cas-
serly in the business of politics, and
when the returns reach us we shall
expect to hear that Casserlv has a
sure thing on succeeding himself in
the United States Senate.

The threatened inundation of the

descending into the former bed.

LONDON, Sept. 3.
The Times this morning has addition
al details concerning the affair be-
tween Vice Admiral Ielverton and
the Cartagena insurgents, III relation
to the removal of the iron cladS AL
mama, and the Admiral'S notification
that at the expiration of 40 hours he
would take the vesselso out of the har-
Dor, is given. The insurgent Junta
proposed that he should pledge his
faith for his Government that they
would be held at Gibraltar and not
turned over to the Madrid Govern
ment. The proposition was rejected,
and the British commander informed
the Junta hat he would take the YES
sells to Gibraltar, and then recon-
mended to his Government that they
be not surrendered until the affair of
Cartagena was settled, but that he
declared to give his personal guran-
tee on the subject. At this the insur-
gent leaders were very much eNas-
perated, and the Junta issued orders
to commanders of rebel vessels to go
down the bay and be prepared to re-
Sist by force the removal OF Ron
clads. The English Consul prepared
to leave Cartagena and a conflict
seemed unavoidable. This was the
condition of affairs when the CORES
pendent sent the dispatches. To-day

there was no conflict. Whether the
