John SWEET.

The Petaluma Argus suggests JOHN
SWEET as candidate for State Super
intendent of Public Schools, and pro-
ceeds to eulogize little JOHN as man
whom nature designed for a model
Superintendent. 1t wont do. All the
whitewash in the State will not cover
over the black marks which the people
have scored against little JOHN. He
is scheming little fellow, whom book
rings know how to use. He is par
tizan of the narrowest, bitterest and
most illiberal character. he compiled
text book made up of the most in
cendiary and dissension-breeding arti-
cles that could be collected against the
South and the Southern people. He
was assistant compiler and is part
owner of SwINToNs series of school
books, which he is eternally trying to
force into the public schools. He was
the author of the bill introduced in the
Legislature to reduce the salaries of
lady teachers. He was the instigator,
if not the actual author, of many of
the malicious personal attacks made
on Rev. o. P. FITzGERALD during the
campaign which ended with the elec-
tion of Mr.. BoLANDER, and he is by
nature and inclination a double-deal-
ing, intriguing little politician. JOHN
wont do. He is so unpopular in San
Francisco that WIDBER was defeated
solely because he had JOHN SWEET for
his deputy.

The company will furnish their gas at
the reasonable price of five dollars per
thousand feet.n A San Jose Mercury
reporter witnessed a trial of the diff
ferent gases and says: "The gases
were turned through numerous kinds
of burners, and lighted in every possi-
ble way calculated to show a differ
ence between them, the petroleum in
every instance producing the clearest
and most brilliant light. That there
should be such marked difference in
the illumination seems almost incred-
ible, but those who doubt the state
ment can examine for themselves. y
This trial was witnessed by the Mayor
and Councilmen of Jan Jose and all
were highly pleased with the petro-
leum gas.

purchased California at forty and sold
1t fol seven hundred made money
these are the people whom the Post
says made the money that nobody
lost. But the people who pur-
chased California at seven hun
dred and have it on hand
when it is discovered that the
mine will only pay interest divi-
dends on its stock at forty dollars, will
lose money-these are the people who
will lose the money that some body
has made, and these are the people to
whose bad luck the Post will not call
attention. The real value of Califor-
mia is nearer forty dollars than seven
hundred dollars per share to-day, and
sooner or later it must drop from its
stock board ficticious valuation
to it's real worth as mine.
In the slide down the scale the
money made must be lost. The un-
fortunate feature of the transaction is
that those who have made the money
will not be the ones to lose it. Cali
fornia will doubtless yield immense
wealth but it is impossible that it will
pay interest for any considerable
length of time on the money for
which its stock has been sold. If 1T
cannot do this, money must be lost.
If it could do this in place of waver-
ing at seven hundred the stock would
go upward until it reached two thou
sand. No one need flatter themselves
that all these millions have been
coined out Of nothing nor yet out of
the great bonanza. Into the crucible
has been thrown the toll, honor and
life of thousands. The compound was
the philosophers stone that converted
nothing into bright yellow gold, but
it is gold stained with the widows
tear and blighted with the orphans
curse-in its sharp ring may be heard
the maniac's shrek.

A Little Pinch.

There was a little pinch in San
Francisco the other day. Stocks went
down with crash, and we are told
that many people of small means fell
from the apex of fortune to the abyss
of poverty. Under the excitement
created by the discovery of the great
bonanza, laboring men and women in
vested their earnings in stocks and
lost in an hour what years of toll had
accumulated. Vast misery will come
of this. Dependency, then despair,
will seize these unfortunates, and the
insane asylum and the drum kard's
grave will hide many of them from
the eyes of the world. Gambling of
any kind is dangerous to people of
small fortunes, and no kind Of gam
bling is so dangerous to this class as
stock gambling. The demand for more
"mud," which means an increase Of
the percentage paid on stock, is always
an ominous and generally fatal blow
to the hopes of one who has invested
his little all in mining stocks. He
cannot meet the demand, and is sold
out. We remember reading in the
Post that the millions made in the
advance in California and Consoli-
dated Virginia were made without loss
to anyone; that it was the simple re-
suit of the enhanced, value of the
stock. But was this advance an illus
tration OF the permanent value of
these two mines? The little pinch
the other day seems to us an indica-
ton that the ultimate answer must be
in the negative. There will come other
and more disastrous pinches, and there
will be bluer days than any yet seen
on California street. In the early days
of the rebellion a-man named GRID
LEY conceived the idea of selling sack
of -four at auction for the benefit of the
Sanitary Fund. That sack of flour,
worth one dollar and seventy five
cents, was sold and resoId until it net
ted the fund about thirty thousand
dollars. The money was devoted to a
noble cause, but will anyone deny that
In business point of view twenty
nine thousand nine hundred and nine
ty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents
of that money was lost? At no time
was that sack Of -four worth more than
one dollar and seventy-five cents as a
sack of -four. Now will the Post or
any other stock organ of San Francisco
assert that California, which eight
months ago was dull sale at forty dol
larsper share aud has now been thrown
up to seven hundred dollars per share,
is worth the money. People buy stock
to make money. Will California fol
any length of time pay dividends equal
to one per cent. on its stock sold al
seven hundred per share2 People who

Cheering Prospects.

The prospects of the Los Angeles
and Independence Railroad are rapidly
frightening, and the list of subscrib-
ers to the stock is lengthening daily.
AS our citizens realize the Importance
of this road, its great advantage to the
valley and the numerous benefits
which will result from it, they become
enthusiastic in its support and
promptly place their names ON the
subscription books. We are assured
by the canvassers that the stock is
much easier disposed of now than ten
days or even one week ago. This is
encouraging, and leads us to hope that
the requisite amount of stock-$300,-
0O0-will be taken within the next few
weeks and the certain building of the
road rendered an established fact. The
inevitable fact that unless the Los
Angeles and Independence Railroad is
built, we shall lose the greater por-
ton of our interior trade should impel
every citizen of Los Angeles valley TO
encourage and assist the work to the
utmost extent. If we fail to build
this tt road within less than one year
from to-day, not a pound of freight
either to or from the mines of Inyo
county will be shipped by way of Los
Angeles, and we shall lose eur entire
trade with these mines. This is fact
that must be looked square in the face.
1t is railroad or no trade. We must
build the road.

Efforts TO Effect a Com promise I'm New
Orleans.

New ORLEANS, January 31st.-Gov.
Kellogg and Marshall Packard, repre-
senting the Republican party, and
Messrs. Leonard and Jeffries on behalf
of the Democrats, met tonight to ar
range the terms of a proposed compro-
mise. Mr.. Fry, of the Congressional
Committee, was present during the
consultation. One proposition was
that Kellogg be recognized as Cover
nor and Penn as Lieutenant Governor;
such recognition, however, would in
volve an Investigation into the cleo
tion of 1872, and the Committee re-
fuses to touch upon that point. In
addition to this, it may be mentioned
that the negro element in the Repub-
lican party will not agree to any set
tlement by which Antoine, the mu-
lotto Lieutenant-Governor, loses his
seat. The consultation was continued
until late hour tonight and then adj
iourned till tomorrow evening. The
leading men of both parties are very
sanguine that q compromise will be
entered into.

A Sensation. y

LOUISVILLE, January 31st. = The
book, for whisha reward of e1, 900 was
offered by Galbourne, of London, re-
lating to the members of the Royal
family of England, has been discov-
cred in possession of gentleman here.
The book, whiih is in two volumes,
was received in this city in 1878 by a
book-dealer named Taylor, and was
supposed to have been put by mistake
ina case of books ordered from Lon
don. They were afterward purchased
by the present owner. The book is a
memorial of George w, containing a
minute history of all the scandalous
passages of his life. Among other
matters, the fact of the marriage of
King George to Mrs. Fitzherbert is
proven by letters anddocuments taken
from the royal archives. It also testi-
fies that child was born to Mrs.
Fitzherbert, while in lawful wedlock.

Grants Louisiana Policy to be En-.
d0rsed by the Senate.

WASHINGTON, February 1st. = The
Republican Senators have agreed in
caucus to a resolution endorsing the
course of the President with reference
to affairs in Louisiana and recognizing
Kellogg as de fdcto Governor of the
State. A resolution embracing these
declarations will be offered and un-
doubtedly passed during the week.
The Senate will not commit itself to
all avowal that the Kellogg govern
ment is the de jure government of
Louisiana, and while many, and per-
haps "a majority, believe with the Pres
ident, that kellogg has more right
than McEnery to be Governor of the
State, they are not willing, upon the
evidence, to say so.

RoU In A SAILOR BOARDING.HOUSE
Rigrred Through the Lungs by q Bullet

Between the hours of II and u P. NJ,
Wednesday, difficulty occurred at the bal
of the sailor boarding house on the corner Of
Decatur and Hospital streets, between q
Bailor named William Brown, q native oil
Maryland, and an unknown Italian, which
resulted in the shooting and wounding OF
Brown in the right breast, Just two inches
from the nipple.
The wounded man was taken to the Charity
Hospital, where his wound was dressed and
pronounced dangerous, if not fatal The
italian succeeded in making his escape.
A BULLETIN reporter visited Brown at the
Charity Hospital, where he was lying in
great agony and scarcely able to respirate
lie says that the difficulty was unsought on
his part and that the Italian entered the bar
noon and began to quarrel with every one.
At last it came his turn, when the italian
walked up to him and began a TRADE of
abusive language and threats, whereupon be
rose to defend himself, when the unknown
italian coolly drew revolver, and taking de-
hberate aim, fired and shot him. Brown does
mot know who the man was, as he had never
seen him before.
The wound was this morning probed, and |
ii was discovered that tie ball had passed |
into the right lung causing Browns condi- |
aion to be quite critical. He is young man |
only twenty-three years of age, without any |
