No NEws.-The mail brings us no
news Of the election outside of this coun-
ty. In San Francisco there are six tick
cts in the field, each ticket with between
sixty and seventy names on it, and the
result in that city cannot be reached for
several days. Over the State the same
condition Of affairs appears, though to a
less extent, and the fact Of there being
three sets of nominees makes counting
the ballots slow and tedious process.
We had hoped to furnish some results in
bis issue, but were disappointed. Mr..
Tinnin received letter from Shasta,
written when the vote of that town was II
little more tnan half counted. 50 far MS
the count had progressed, Tinnin was ten
votes ahead of Newton. Bgicel&nd and
Klotz about even, and Bell far in the
rear, showing that the Republican vote OF
Shasta was ccnterng on Klotz as the
most available candidate to defeat the
Democratic nominee. Verify, politics
this year is IA mighty uncertain affair and
no man is safe on any ticket.

Fuvn TO BEGIN WITH.-One OF

FAILED TO BEGIN WITH.-One Of
the blanks in the Democratic State plat
form declared in favor Of Convention
to amend the State Constitution. But so
far as we have heard the plank was hui-
lifted from the outset. In this county llie
plank was ignored, no attention oeing
called to the fact that such vote wou'u
taken nor was it ordered printed on the
tickets of the party. As matter Oh
course the convention will be defeated oy
six or seven hundred majority here, as the
law requires majority Of all the votes
cast to call convention. In San Fran
cisco the party managers had the tickets
printed with For n Convention" and
against Convention" leaving to the
voter the privilege of scratching off either
he chose. The result will probably be
the defeat of the proposition. We have
already little idea of how much Demo-
Gratis mean by their professions.

AK INDIGNANT BKDEGRooM.-The
Eureka Sentinel OF August 4th relates
the following incident: "A CORES pond
ent from McGeary District writes us Of
an incident which recently occurred at
wedding at that place. After the solem-
nzation Of the nuptia ceremony the cler-
gyman, in accordance with the time hon
oreG custom, proceeded to impress upon
the lips Of the blushing bride chaste,
clerical salute, when the bridegroom,
who had doubtless read the proceedings
in the Beecher trial, suddenly thrust his
newly. welded wife aside and assumed II
belligcrent attitude toward the astounded
gospel expounder. For time the utmost
confusion prevailed, but it was finally ex-
planned to the indignant groom that the
kiss was not of the paroxysmal kind, but
a strictly orthodox salute of the most
harmless character, when he became pac-
ilied, and peace reigned again in McGeary.

A WISE LAw.-The legislative wis
dom Of the State has the credit of having
passed one law which all must admit to
be wise in its conception and excellent in
its practical workings. We allude to the
one prohibiting the sale of liquors on
election day. Those who rememb Der the
scenes of drunkenness which attended
former elections, when men who had lost
their sense OF manhood in the love of liq-
uor kept back their votes so long as the
chance Of "free whisky" was offered to
them, and were finally led to the polls in
such condition that the act of depositing
their ballots was a buresque on the elect
i've franchise, who contrast the election
now with such scenes, can have no desire
to return to old usages.

THE discovery Of method by which
glass is made elastic and wonderfully
strong is entitled to rank among the most
important inventions Of the century.
Glass can henceiorth be used for cooking
utensils, and will take the place OF metal
and wood in a vast variety o. manufact-
urcs. The discovery orrevival Of a F." lost
art" for that Roman artitcer mastered
the secret Of making elastic glass and was
put to death in order that the value Of the
brittle glass in existence might net be
impaired by the discovery Of making a
vastly better article, has always been be-
lieved, although no one until now has
succeeded in hitting upon the process
which perished with the ancient Roman.

GONE TO HIS REST. .-Elward Leary, a
well known and highly respected resident
Of this city, died at his residence on F St.
at halI-past p. NJ, yesterday, after a
long and distressing illness. The de-
ceased was native Of townsville, Mary
land, and was aged forty-four years. He
came to California in 1852, and for many
years resided in the neighboring county
of Trinity, settling there, we believe, Mt
an carly day. About five years since, he
removed with his family to Humboldt
county where he has continued to reside
until his death. In Trinity county, rs in
this. no act of his life ever cast the slight
est blemish upon bis reputation, while his
genial disposition, generous nature, and
warm friendship drew about him hosts of
friends and endeared him to all. The
community has lost worthy and useful
citizen. He leaves wife and two child
rem to mourn the loss of devoted hus
band and father. The deceased was n
member OF the Order Of Odd Fellows, by
whom ho was buried. HQm52,dt Times.

WIN. c. RALsTON.- Close following
upon the news that the bank OF California
had suspended payment came the inteli-
gence that VIM. c. Ralston was drowned.
Passing from earth Mt such a moment,
when the great institution of which he
had leen the financial head was ruined,
the thought naturally followed that with
the loss Of his entire fortune, he had lost
hope and sought relief in suicide. The
inquest of the Coroner's jury, however,
does not seem to bear out the impression.
Mr.. RalstOa had been in the habit
o. going to n bath house on the shores Of
the bay and taking bath in the salt wa
ter and this he had done on the occasion
OF his death. The physicians called in at
the inquest incline to the belief that he
entered the water oveIheated, and there
by brought on apoplexy. The event ere
atod great sensation, and the general
respect in which Mr.. Ralston was held
was evidenced by the fact that fully fiftv
thousand people suspended work on the
day Of the funeral, the city generally be-
ing droped in mourning. This evidence
of pablic respect was not paid to the man
on account OF his wealth, but for the good
use he had made of it during his lifetime.
He had always displayed liberal public
spirit which, willie seeking to his own
means, gave employment to hundreds
and thousands. No doubt he would have
retrieved his fallen fortunes had he been
spared, but that was not to be. He left
insurance on his life to the amount of
$4,000 which cannot be touched by the
creditors of the bank and which will place
his family above want.
