Within the last two months there has
been seven millionaires Of this city died.
The most Of whom died very suddenly.
The Constitutional Convention, now in
session at Sacramento, have considerable
work at present; the principal feature DO
ing the -enacting of laws-to aexelnds,the
Chineseyfrom tho State, and stop their
immigration. However, nothing otimport.
ance has passed toithat effect.
Gen. D. D. Cotton, another millionaire,
died at his residence in this city very sud.
denly, cause by Injuries sustained by rid.

days ago. ~ g
The first rain Of the season came rather
carly, and old residents predict a dry win.
ter. Tho weather has been beautiful fol
several weeks, undergoing the chansefrou
the dry to the rainy season. The high
winds cease until next summer
We arc happy 10 say that business III
most every branch has improved greatly
within the past few weeks, and great hopes
arc entertained OF 1t continuing through
the winter. s;I
r. Lyman Potter, the wheelbarrow-man
arrived in this city from Albany on the
18th ult., twenty-five days ahead OF hit
time, and is nov completing his walk Al
Woodward's Gardens. That, together with
a balloon ascension, last Sunday, attractet
an attendance TO these gardens Of more
than twenty-five thousand.peoplc.
Tho exciting Stock Market on Pine anc
California streets, has been very good fol
several days past, most every stock OF tht
Comstock ledge increasing two and three
hundred dollars a share. This, togethoI
with many Of the wild Cat" stocks, have
kept upa livelymarket.
The election news from the Eastern
States caused considerable excitement IL
this city. Great interest by all parties wa
manifested by bulletin boards being con
is%picuously placed bearing the latest tele
grams. The ons looked 10 with most in
terest was the glorious defeat OF Ben But

ney, that the streets would run with bloot
II Butler was defeated. He now console
himself that no will elect all tho city Off
! ciNlsof Boston, then return to Frisco. W,
are sadly in need OF him here, for all TIL
Chinese have not gone yet, only fifty thou
sand remaining in this city.
Col. T. A. Bee, attorney for the six com
niles Of this city, who made a speech a
Washington q short time sinceon the Chi
nese question, has notingratiated himsel
: with the citizensof this country "a wa OK
! pccted by him. His u~ttcranccs in rcgart
10 the opinion Of the people Of this eoun
! try were utterly erroneous. He said nl
. the people on this coast were in favor Q
!. Chinese immigration but the Irish. Thi
is not SO. By taking q thorough and i'm
partial canvass, It will be found that nine
, tenths OF the American residents, not in
GLIDING the Irish, are opposed to Chimes
immigration. Its true all those that ar
making millions, as many capitalists ar
! by this speculation, are in favor OF tbei
immigration. However. take the unintel
, ested eapltallsts and you will find the ms
jority opposed to this pestiferous race
3 1t is not the persons themselves, but III
masses that arS perpetually coming, whicl
: will eventually have possession OF thi
! coast. Giving the views Of some em;neu
I writers, this Ia the impression OF the In
tellIgrnt class and not the Kearneyites a
it were. We will give more Of an impai
