PLACER ELECTION.

The grand fight which took place last
Wednesday, in tbs county between the
pc, pie battling for freedom, purity Of prin-
ciple and good government on one side, and
the Auburn Cou House Ring struggling
for the offices and their emoluments on the
other, was, we feel safe in saying at this
time of writing (rhursday), in great meas
ure, n success for the people the un-
founded, unprincipled, mystifed efforts of
the Sacramento Union 10 the contrary not
withstandipg That DR.. Martin, our can
didate for State Senator, and w. q. Norton
and VIM. Roush for the Assembly are
elected there is no doubt.
Sd. Dunnam, candidate for Treasurer,
lis also elected beyond a doubt. The rest OF
the county ticket is from present returns, so
close that it is impossible to say who or
which one vii! come out victorious. AS we
write there are several precincts to hear
from, but it is thought that Mccormick,
candidate for Sheriff, is elected by from
twenty to fifty majority. Two of our Su-
pervisors are elected, sure, and the chances
are in favor of the third. What more do we
want? what more can we ask? The very
first rise of the people has secured for then
the Legislature, the Sheriff, and the contro
of their county ;ffairs. Is rot this mucl
good, and can not all honest hearts rejoice
and unite with one accord with us and sa,
.ueH done? The rest of the ticket is as ye
doubtful. with the exception of ene or TIVE
candidates. G. w. Applega.e, than whom
there are nore betteg or More worthy, w
are sorry to say is most certain y defeated

THE SUCCESSFUL ONES.

fOn the Independent ticket Martin, for the
Senate, Norton and Rcush for the Assembly
are elected. If Long is beaten, it is by a
very small majority. Mccormick is elected
Sheriff by so votes. Applegate, candidate
for Recorder is defeated by Crosby. Dunnam
is elect ID Treasurer. The Clerk is doubtful
Brown, for District Attorney, and Filcher,
for School Superintendent are beaten by very
small majorities. The rest of the Ipdepend-
ent ticket, Surveyor, Coroner, and Public
Administrator are undoubtedly elected. The
Independents have elected their Supervisors
in Districts l, 3 and 4 In district the ma
jority is only votes. On Collectors and
Assessors we have not sufficient returns 10
warrant us in saying, except in Rev. Dist l,
where the Independents have elected both.
Altogether it is victory for the lndepend-
ents-Hurrah!

DISGCSTED COLORED CITIZENS.

The negroes of Ohio are assuming behg
Grant attitude .award the radical party. A
muatto agent sent ont from Washington to
obtain an endorsement of Gran. at the Chill
cothe convention found the tide against him,
and was compelled to rets<n without accom-
plishing his object. The Radicals consider
the Africans just as much the slaves ane
,chattles of their party as the old Southen
planters ever did, and treat them with less
consideration. They use him for political
purposes; they demand the negro vote as a
right, but when he seeks some official posi-
ton lie is spurned by some insolent pale face
who, perl aps. owes his own exalted position
to the colored mans vote. In Ohio the
Negroes see things in their true light and arc
&. demanding their tights. and unless proper
tionately represented, they are determined
no longer 70 swallow the Radical nomina-
tions as heretofore. Time will teach even
the colored man who are his friends.

THE VICTORY Is OURS.
The Railroaders are sent Howl
ing to their holes!

And best of all the COURT HOUSE
RING is smashed all to skaters, and the
chain of followers appended thereto are bur-
iod so deep in disgust that they. never will
appear again on the surface of the Republl-
can party. The LEGISLATURE, the
SHERIFF, and the TREASURER are
ours; two SUPERVISORS certain, and
rood chance for the third. "Truth crushed
to earth will rise again." and though foi
wears truth, right, honesty, justice, fair
dealings and good government, are things to
which the people Of Placer have been
strangers, they now rise again above the
surfi ce, and vii! send happiness to the door,
and peace to the heart Of every good man
and lover Of his country.
THE SACRAMENTO UNION
AS an advisor of the people of Placer
has proved q failure. Where are you now,
you would-bc all virtuous and powerful
Union-Damned by every good man for
vilely attempting to deceive him from what
be knew was right, where you and the peo-
pie were jointly in the right; victory crowned
your united efforts, where the people were
right and you wrong, you are denounced as
deceitfu Take lesson, Mr.. Union, and
save your credit. Glory to the lndepend
ents! may the principles inscribed on their
banne, spread throughout the length aud
breadth of our land, until they shall be-
come 70 powerful as to rule our nation, and
redeem it from the tllraldom of oppression
she now suffers, and raise her up from tn.
degradation into which -he has fallen, until
she once more rejoiees in purity as in the
early days of the Republic.

THE ELECTION.

The election last Wednesday, passed OF
quietly considering the number Of candidates
in tue field for Office. The polls were open from
eight in the morning, and c'osed at sundown.
Although great deal Of interest was taken
ia this election, the ballots cast were about
fifty less than were usually cast in this
voting precinct-295 votes being cast al
this election. The appearance Of things in
the early part of the day seemed to indicate
that large vote would be cast, and, for
while, the vot ne was lively, bat for short
time only; after which they began to fall off.
All through the day the prospects of oul
Republican friends looked rather bad, and
on the other hand everything went alone
smoothly in favor Of the Independent ticket
Republicans looked down in the mouth
while the Independent candidates appeared
.contented and satisfied that the yesuIt wout
be in their favor. Candidates of both par
ties could be seen strung along the streets
leading TO the polls, with tickets in 'hel'
hands waiting TO buttonhole every voter as
they passed along en- route for the voting
place. 1t was Il fiery ordeal each and every
voter had to pass through.
Never before, perhaps in the history OF
elections, was scratching Of tickets carried
on TO such an extent as it was last Wednes,
day. Scratching seemed TO be the order o.
the day. The number Of straight tickets
were few, mostly Independent This scratch
ing seemed to be universal rule adopted by
the voters of all p'rtes, and they carried il
to an extent beyond anything we have eve'
known 1t was really astonishiogI every
man voted ticket put up by himselS, ano
to suit himself, entirely without any regard
as to party candidates. At sundown, 'h'
time of closing the polls, only 295 votes
had been cast, but being so terribly scratch
ed that it occupied the election officers unit
3 o'clock Thursday morning TO count them

RIGHT MUsT NIN.-The same spirit
which has go recently brought contendine
parties together in this State in most des-
perate political conAict-that Of honesty
against monopoy-has already very strong
foot-hold in States east OF the Rocky Noun
tains. We sec the telegraph announces a
call for State convention m'Iowa, of Dem
ocrats. Literal Republicans, and anti-mo-
nopolsts and other political elements oppos ed
to the railroad power. These are the ele-
ments which must consolidate and rule this
country, for they are the pure and the good.
Bad men have, as general thing long ago
sought favor with the great monied monopo-
lies, for the lucre they might obtain by bow
ing the knee and serving the behess of these
would be lords of all. The good are left to
fight the fight of fieemen be imposed
upon. They should make the fight every
where, our welfare and the salvatien
of the country is in their hands. Let a ma
ton,l party spring up from these elements, a
party of reform and purity, and they will
rule the country.

WAR AMONG The INDIANS.

A few weeks ago band Of Pawnees
numbering about three hundred warriors, ac-
companed by large number of squaws and
pappooses we're returning from their annual
buffalo hunt, in which they had been very
successful, having killed one thousand buf-
falo, and were attacked while in camp by
about ore thousand Sioux, and before they
could escape or make a successful resistance
nearly one hundred men, women and chill
dren were slain and scalped. The wound ID ,
dead and dying were thrown in heaps and
burned. There immense supplyof meat was
taken, and nearly all their ponies run off by
the victorious Sioux.
1t seems that old Spotted Tail unable to
create trouble with the whites, was deter
termined to use the excellent ,h-doaline
weapons which our indiscreet Uncle Sam
supplied him with whAe in Washington last
Summer
This furnishing the Indians with the bes,
weapons in the Government Armory is a
fraud upon the people, and we may consider
it fortunate that it was their fellow Red mer
and not or brother pale faces, that this vim
dictive and treacherous Indian tribe chose tc
try the Henry rifles on that we had given
him. This same principle of furnishing arms
was tried with the Modocs, and when an ap-
peal to force becume ne essary, we had to
suffer the consequences by a sacrifice Of
millions of treasure and the lives of mary
of our bravest men.

The punching of holes through the various
STRAPS of harness for buckle-tOngues and for
attaching the buckles, Is q matter Of considera.
BILE Importance, and does not as rule, receive
the attention that il should. The old method,
of punching them from the upper, or grain side
of the leather, has been generally abandoned by
the manufacturers Of fine work, il being deemed
injurious tn the wear Of the leather. The princi-
pal objection arises from the liability of the grain
of the leather to crack from the strain on the
bnekle-toDgue, and to he the cause, eventually,
of the leather tearing, As it causes such crease
where the tongue catches that il Injuries the tex
ture of the leather. and makes it tear the hole
more or less. In addition to this, If the leather
is very strong, the tongue of the buckle is liable
TO he bent out of shape. All these objections
can be obviated by punching from the under or
flesh side of the strap, and by using punch the
long sides being parallel with the length of the
strap; the punch should be set at an angle Of
about twenty degrees cutting the hole at such
an angle that the buckle tongue will rest in it
without throwing any strain on the inside of the
leather.
Some object to punching the hole from the
der side an account Of its forcing the grain out
and thus disfgnriny the outside edges of the hole.
This can he Corrected, however, by driving the
punch through the hole from the outside, which
will cut away the slightest turned edge of the
grain, and set il down smooth and clean. IL in
not necessary, however, to repunch any holes
except those that will he exposed when the har
hess is complete. Punches should lie thin
possible, the extra thickness of the metal
strains the leather.

Reputed site sfBabeI.

The Rev. G. NJ. Gordon, writing in the Church
Missionary Intelligence, thus describes the reput-
ed site of the Tower of Babel:
A high mound is surrounded by a ruined and
unfinished tower of brick, the summit of which
is 235 feet above the plain. An examination of
the mound shows that il il composed Of the same
elements as the mounds nf Babylon-masses Of
brick and rubbish, iDterspersed with brokcn pot
terry. These bricks are all of them inscribed on
one side with cuneform characters The cupei-
form is the ancient Assyrian, and is supposed to
be the Oldest in the written languages in the
world. One side, where the excavations have
been made, you may see walls of brick ascend
ing tier above tier with mastery ambition. On
another, all is convnlsion and disturbance-huge
masses of brickwork, rent and overturned, yet
solid in their ruin that it is easier To pulver-
ize the brick than to separate it from the NOR
tar.
One of these blocks has rolled boldly to the
foot of the mound. Others are virtrified or fus-
ed by process which can he none other than
electricity or fire. Curiously enough the Arabs
have tradition that it has been destroyed by
fire from heaven. The sides of the mound are
pierced with holes and strewn with bones, which
plainly indicate the lairs of wild beasts. The
view from the summit at sunrise is distant and
varied. The broad sheet of the Euphrates wiIrls
for many n mile, till lost in the distance IN a
''sea-liks plain.o 1t is dif1icnt to resist the
victiOn that Birs Nimrod is the Tower of Babel,
the oldest ruin in the world. There are those
who (like Mr.. Rich) believe it to be the Tower
Of Belus, and regard it as a part Of the ruin of
Babylon, but prefer to hold the older tradition.
And surely il is when standing on ground like
this that the language Of the Scripture acquires
q vividness and reality which rewards the toll Of
patient investigation, and makes the privatinns
of travel forgotten; and voice seems to breathe
fr"m the resting place of the prophets beside
these mighty rivers WHICH is daily more heard
and felt, rehuking the sheer of the scoffer aud
the skeptic.

Now that the season has arrived for selecting
the male turkey to preserve for breeding pur-
poses, the necessity Of picking out the largest
and most perfect as regards form and vigor may
well be urged upon everybody who keeps this
very profitable farm stock. Let it be constantly
borne in mind that size is a great desideratum in
gobbler kept for breeding. The largest males
may be used with safety, even if paired with fair
to medium-sized hens, provided the following
precautions are used:
The peril from thirty-fve pound gobbler is a
reality, whether the hen be large or small. This
arises not so much from the great weight of the
gObblcr from vicious use of his we'll grown
spurs and claws. If left free, the feathers are
soon torn from the backs of the hens and the
skin not unfrequently follows, and the hen dies
from the injuries.
To prevent this, the gobbler may be kept in
confinement for few weeks before you wish his
services It is a well-ascertained fact that sim
gle connection Of the male with the hen-turkey
at the proper time insures the fertility of all the
eggs she may lay in the first litter after it.
day or two Of the gobbler with the hens answers
all purposes of weeks, and greatly diminishes the
danger of injury. As an additional safeguard,
cut the spurs and tOe-nails, and burn of all the
sharp points with hot iron, of course, taking
care not to injure the fowl. If this be done,
breeding with large turkeys is quite as safe as
with smaller birds. We are aware that the
American passion for size has sometimes operated
to the detriment Of poultry But in turkeys, size
can be secured without danger.
