The MNsrRELs.-Miss Irving's Min
strel Troupe are announced to appear
at Columbia Hall, next Monday even
ing. They are said to be good perform
ers, but probably the bestrecommenda-
ton they possess is the fact that they
have been enabled to secure the services
of MIR. Gum of the Transcript, as agent
OF manager. Under such encouraging
auspices, there can be no doubt that the
entertainment will be chaste and high
toned, and complete success fnan-
cially as well. We observe the posters
state that reserved seats are held at
800, and back seats only so cents; but
whether this is an error of the types, or
an indication that the price of admis-
sion, like Southern cocktails under the
Civil Rights Bill, is subject to a dis
count to white people, we are at loss
to determine. Be this as it may, the
proposed entertainment enlists our sym
pathies quite as much on account of
professional pride as the high reputation
of the performers.

Loss OF THE u. s. WAR STEAMER
"SARASAc. "A Victoria dispatch of the
2lst inst. says that the United States
man-of-war iSaranao was lostin Seymour
Narrows, Johnson's Strait, on Friday
morning, the 18th inst. It'appears
that the vessel left San Francisco on
the 9th inst. for Sitka and Behring
Straits on q scientific expedition and to
make collection for the forthcoming
Philadelphia Centennial. She had taken
the inside channel, called at Nanaimo,
and at GAS A. NJ. Friday struck on her
port side the famous Mid Channel rock
in the Seymour Narrows, and went
down an hour afterwards. The dispatch
says that this is the rock so much talked
of in connection with the projected
bridge which is some day to cross the
Narrows for the use of the Canadian
overland railroad. The vessel struck
very hard, as she was going at the rate
of of fourteen knots, with seven
knot current, swung around and hung
on little while. She was then headed
for the Vancouver shore. Water was
gaining rapidly, enabling the officers
and crew to save but little of the stores,
clothing or effects. She remained above
water before sinking just one hour. A
good deal more would have been saved
only that it was not known at what mo-
ment the ship would vanish. The Off
GERS and crew were encamped on the
beach, without bit of canvas, OF any
thing with which to shelter themselves,
and few provisions were saved. The
Saranac was an old vessel, about 1900
tons measurement, carried ten guns and
crew of 300 men. Lieutenant Com
mander Saunders, the pilot and thirteen
men arrived at Nanaimo to seek assist
ance. No vessel being in port torender
aid, the commander and pilot came
down to Saanich in q canoe, and arrived
at Victoria on the Goth inst. The
steamer Otter left Victoria on the Dist
for the scene of the catastrophe.

THE RATTLE IN CALIFORNIA.

The political outlook in California
betokens total disruption of the Re.
publican forces and victory for the
Independents, possibly, or tho Demo.
Gratis, probably, 1t is believed that il
the Dolly Vardens nominate Bidwell
for Governor, they may carry the day
but that organization is controlled by
parties in San Francisco who would
prefer James Anthony or John F. Swift
to the Chico farmer. But it is thought
that if the Democrats put up either
Roche, of San Francisco; Irwin, OF
Siskiyou, or Ryland, of Santa Clara,
they are certain of a victory. The
nomination of Timothy Guy Phelps,
on whose behalf the celebrated ward
robe job was done in Sacramento in
1862, has been wet blanket to the Re-
publican party, and while the Alta
endeavors to manufacture enthusiasm
for him, the Chronicle-another railroad
paper of Republican proclivities t
enthuse worth a cent. Frank Pixley
writes its leading political articles, and
pours in endless vollies of hot shot at
the Toll Gate Candidate for Governor.
He alludes to Phelps servility to Carr,
Gorham and Sargent, and winds up by
imploring him to leave such disreputa-
BILE company in time, that he may save
friends enough to make up a decent
funeral. The same paper adds that
Pacheco's withdrawal was caused by
the certainty that Gorham had cap
tured enough delegates away from the
present Governor, to prevent his re-
nomination. The Chronicle further
says that if the delegates could have
been polled as they came from the cars
and steamboats,, Pacheco would have
been re-nominated by two-t thirds vote.
This looks as if the scenes of 1867,
when Bidwell was beaten by Gorham's
sixty-three cappers and pugilists, had
been re-enacted in that city, under the
auspices of the Secretary of the United
States Senate.
Hence it is not difficult to predict a
Democratic victory in California, next
September, if good counsels prevail and
nominations are fairly made. But if
the money-bags of such men as Findley
and McCoppin are brought into requi-
sition, to corrupt delegates with weak
knees and itching-palms. there may be
show for the Independents to win.
The strength OF this latter faction must
not be moderated. 1t is composed
largely of mercantile men who WELD
an enormous weight of capital and con-
troll many leading industrial avenues.
But if Democracy will only stand up
true to its real representative men, the
race will be walk-over for its nomi-
nees. The masses are sick of Republic
can corruption, and the Independents
are not thoroughly organized as yet,
unless some faur pas on the part of the
Democrats, gives them q greater advan-
tage than they now possess. 1t looks
like an easy fight, if we'll managed.
