Rather Tame.

A fter the loud talk that had been
heard at different street corners for
some days past the people naturally
supposed that there would be some en-
phatic talk In the Council chamber on
Thursday evening, and at an early
hour that spacious room, which by the
way, Is about the size of Western
farmers pig pen, was crowded with
spectators who expected to hear Coun-
Gilman after Councilman rise in his
seat and Indignantly deny that he had
been offered a bribe to vote for the
San Pedro street depot ordinance. Ex-
pectation was on tiptoe and expecta-
tion was disappointed. The Mayors
veto was read, the ordinance was pass
ed over the veto by the regular eight
votes and certain proportion of the
crowd cheered with unanimity sug.
gestive of the regularly employed
claqueur. After this part of the pro-
gramme had been carried out to the
letter committee was appointed to
investigate and determine II there was
any truth in the report that attempts
had been made to bribe certain mem-
bers of that honorable body. Then
came the serenade and the virtHous
and incorruptible went home and
slept the sleep of the innocent and the
pure.

ESPECIAL TO THE HERALD. I
PACIFIC COAST.
Racing at sacrarn en- 70.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 24th.-The sec.
ond race was for purse of $780, two
mile heats. Entries, Theo. Winters
G. C. Major Bradley, N. Coombs' b. C.
Shannon, II. Walsh's b. C. Sherman.
A good start was made at the first
bound, and away they went, with
Bradley in the lead, which position he
maintained to the outcome, although
Sherman made hard fight for the su-
premacy, but only gained the second
| place, Shannon third-time $40.
Second Heat.-Bradley was great
favorite before the start of the first
heat, and consequently much great
er one after winning it, and to such
an extent that very few pools were
sold, those that were having great
odds iu favor Of Bradley. Bradley
again went to the front, followed next
by Sherman, whose rider tried hard to
win with him, but the gray horse
seemed as if he was playing with both,
winning easily in 3:44, Sherman Sec
ond and second money, Shannon dis
tanced. Bradley got first and third
money
The last race was for purse Of $500,
for beaten horses, with the following
entries: Walsh's Hardwood, o. Han
Ions Fanny Hall, Pritchard's Colonel
Cowles-mile heats.
First Heat-Fanny drew the pole,
Hardwood second, Cowles outside. At
the start Fanny fell back two or three
lengths, Hardwood and Cowles run
ming together to the quarter-pole. At
the turn Fanny stumbled and fell,
throwing her rider s or 10 feet over
her head, where he was picked up in
an insensible condition and carried to
the outside edge of the track, when we
learned that he was quite severely in
jured, his collar bone being dislocated
and his breast considerably mashed
and bruised. The unfortunate boys
name is Wash Smoot, commonly
called Wash. The Judges latterly an
nounced from the stand that medical
authority had stated that the boy was
not seriously injured. Hardwood and
Cowles ran on and the heat was won
by Cowles. Time, 1:49s.
Little interest was now taken in the
race, a great many leaving immedi-
ately after the accident. Hardwood
won the next two heats very handily,
receiving the first money and Cowles
the second. Time, las, ISL. This
was the only accident of the week,
and we hope it may be the last.

Our Vast Resources.

Perhaps few of the most observant
Of California's residents have ever
carefully examined and classified her
many and varied resources. The per-
son who does this will be slow to be-
lieve that the people Of the Pacific
coast will ever suffer by real
monetary panic. We ought to export
everything and import next to MOTH
ing. Within the area extending
from San Diego and Siskiyou, almost
everything known to or classed among
the vegetable kingdom will grow and
attain 9 maturity. Between the
oceans beach and the summit of the
Sierras almost every metal known to
the mineral kingdom is found in vast
quantities. What should be the fu-
ture of country soforwards? A coun-
try with such vast resources ought to
be the Paradise of earth and its people
ought to enjoy the highest degree OF
happiness vouchsafed to mortals. With
climate ranging from the tropic al
to the temperate, and with pro-
ducts indigenous to both zones, what
need we import in the way Of vegeta-
bles? With mountains of gold and
silver, broad lodes of copper, wide
veins of lead, hills ofiron and fields of
coal; with broad valleys Of soil the pro-
ductions of which are unequalled any
where in the world; with q grazing
region capable Of supporting millions
of head Of stock; with q climate adapt
ed to the growth ofsheep, fine wooled
goats and silk worms, why should we

State Superintendent.

The papers are actively engaged In
setting forth the merits and demerits
of the two candidates for Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction. Democrat
ic journals point to the record of DIR.
FITZGERALD during the time he filled
the position as his best recommends
tion for reelection. He proved HIM
self faithful and efficient public SER
want and for this the people will again
trust him with the superintendency of
their Public Schools. About the only
and certainly the strongest argument
the Republican papers offer in support
of the election of Mr.. CARR is the fact
that he was removed from the State
University in which he held profess
sorship until he was expelled because
Of bis incoinpetency. This is poor
reason to urge for the elevation of a
manto a position Of as much import
ance as the Office of State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction. The
qualification or rather disqualification
of Prof. CARR is set forth in the fol-
lowing paragraph taken from the Col
usa Sun:
sProfessor Carr is particularly fussy old
Individual, who must Impress his fussy no.
lions on all he has to do with AS o professor
In the University he was q failure, and The
Regenfs found II necessary to discharge him
and since that time he has been doing moth
Ing. He affects a9ricultur-, but be knows
about as much of II as hog knows Of the
gospel He might make q very good super
mtendent but we know Fitzgerald would
and Carr would be a dangerous experiment.
In view then of the claims made anead thai
Carr's election would be claimed as a Re-
publican victory, 1t behooves those who dc
not wish to see that party successful In the
Presidential election, to turn ont and vote
for Fitzgerald"

Over Trading.

The Bureau of Statistics at Wash
ington has published a statement
showing the product of the mines OF
the United States during the twenty
|. five years from 1S4S to 1873. The av-
erage'annual product Of gold is set
down at $50, 300, 900, and that of silver
in fifteen years ending 1878 was Sl3,-
100000. The highest yield of silver was
in 1873 when the sum ofS35, ,75O, 600 was
mined. Ofcourse these figures, like ma
ny others gotten out by the statistical
department, are pretty old and do not
touch the new era in silver mining,
opened by the discoveries in the Com
stock Lode; yet they are valuable new
ertheless. They show that within
the last quarter of century the
mines of the country have produced
the enormous sum of S1,500,000, 900,
which ought to make the United
States more bountifully supplied with
specie currency than any country
in the world, yet there is not 5000, ,O0O,-
600 of this left in the Republic, and the
consumption of the precious metals in
the arts could not have exceeded $500,
100000. One thousand millions of
dollars have gone abroad to pay for
the surplus importations of the coun-
try beyond the value of the exports
of domestic produce. Nor is this
the extent of our overtrading. No
less than Sl,5OO, 100000 of Ameri-
can securities are held in Europe.
These have been placed in the market
Of Europe and helped to settle the bal
ance of trade. These frightfil figures
fully impress upon our minds the ex.
travagance engendered by the war,
and the desperate extremity to which
the irredeemable paper currency has
led the people. One of the greatest
curses of an irredeemable and fluctua-
ting currency Is that nation inflict-
ed with 1t does not comprehend the
injury being suffered until its entire
strength Is exhausted; it infuses a
delirium that is mistaken for. the in
spiration of wisdom. While leaving
the bark Of the tree intact it eats
away the heart aud the branches are
without any support, to be laid low by
the first gale.
Where gold and silver are the meas.
ure of values the excesses of people
are speedily corrected. When extrav
agance has induced importations be-
yond the ability to pay the outflow OF
speice soon creates alarm and that
alarm causes the tide to change. Sense
less and injurious as panics are there
is both philosophy and good in them
They induce caution and check an
outflow ofcurrency that would ulti-
mately lmpoverish the community
They warn the speculator and shacklt
the spendthrift 'ere it is too late.

send abroad the yield of our mines
for wearing material? Perhaps no
country in the world has within itself
more of the necessaries and luxuries
of life than California. If there was
an insurmountable barrier thrown
around our State we should not want
for meat, drink and wearing apparel.
If compelled to do so we could draw
on our own resources not only for the
staples but the luxuries of life. Seme
day we shall learn to wear our own fan
nels and silks, eat our own fruit and
other vegetables and drink the wine
pressed from the grapes of our own
vineyards and when we have done
this We shall not send the gold and sill
ver Of our mines abroad at the rate of
from thirty to forty million per year,
and we shall become rich, respectable,
and independent.

The Black Hills Commission i'm a Danger.

The latest news from the Sioux commis- sion is of a startling character, and will cause well grounded apprehension for the safety of both the troops and the commis- sioners. sAt the meeting of the council Friday, the discontented tribes appeared in war costume and armed with breach-load- ing rifles. A movement was made on the part of some of the more blood-thirsty warriors to attack the cavalry force from an ambush and slaughter the commission CTS. It was frustrated however, by Young Man-Afraid- His Horses, who is proving himself to be good friend to the whites. The half-breeds have been warned to leave the council, as they cannot be relied upon in case of a collision between the troops and the Indians. On Friday night the run ners from the Indian camp reported that the hearts of the warriors were bad and there is reason to fear an outbreak at any time. The Indians who are bent on war are mostly young men from the Cheyennes, Ogallahs and Arapahoes. Big Little Man, chief of one of the powerful wild tribes of the North, will also resort to war if there is chance 10 do so. The trouble seems to arise from jealousy between the tribes in regard to their rights in the Black Hills, and has now gone so far that treaty may be impossible. e.-Rartford Post. (Nonday Epe)
