GDR!siM on BOOTH.

George c., Gofham, late Secretary of
the United States Senate, and Chair
man OF the Republicans Congressional
Committee, VINO is now stumping Cali
fornia for the New Constitution party,
is criticizing the course of Senator
Booth pretty sharply. He says Booth
left the Republicans, who. had elected
him Governor, and while still holding
that office opposed the party rather
than act with it while he thought it
under railroad control. He now leaves
the anti-railroad men of both parties
who placed himsin the United States
Senate, to aid the railroad company
and its yoke-fellow, the Boruck State
Central Committee, to. aid in the
election OF Perkins to the Gubernational
chair. Let no such man be trusted.
The more he has plumed himself in the
past ON being the peoples friend as
against the railroad monopoly, the more
ntelligently he now sins against the
people. The higher the station to
which the people have elevated him be-
maIse they believed him their friend,
tie baser his treachery and the lower
las fall.

The Eureka charcoal burners are on
the war path. They have fixed the
price of charcoal at thirty cents bushel
and will not permit it to- be delivered
at the furnaces at less than that rate.
Teams belonging to persons suspected
of selling the article at less than that
price have been stopped and their loads
scattered in the sage-brush. The Chair
man of the Board of County Commits
sioners and the Sheriff have informed
the Governor that the g Coal Burners
Association, numbering some 1000 per-
sons are banded together with arms in
their hands, are defying the civil au-
tLorities, aud refuse to allow any of
their number to de arrested. They hold
forcible possession of many coal pits,
and by force are preventing the owners
of charcoal from hauling it to the fur
naces, and are threatening to destroy
other property and burn the town OF
Eureka. The Governor was therefore
respectfully requested to order the Mill
tary OF the Second Brigade into active
service to quell the insurrection. Other
citizens and the military authorities
joined i'll this request, and the Cover
nor in response, authorized the Militia
officers to give such aid. to the civil au-
thorities as may be necessary in the ex-
ecution of the law and the protection of
life and property Meantime, twenty
members of the National Guard have
resigned, and though reports of the
insurrection have undoubtedly been ex-
aggerated, the situation is somewhat
critical and conflict between the au-
thorities and the coal burners is immi-
nent.
With black visaged and red handed
war staring them in the face, it is graft
flying to know that the people of Eureka
are not wholly respondent. They have
suffered and, it is hoped, been purified
by flood and fire, and now in this emer-
gency, when the town is threatened
with destruction by an armed mob. and
the militia are resigning by scores, they
behold the gallant Captain Hubbard,
the renowned hero Of the White Pine
War, with that Austin howitzer aud
feel that they are safe so long as he es-
eapes the bullets of the enemy and can
draw q sabre in their defence. As
might be expected, the gallant Hubbard
rs In, his glory. He scents the coming
conflict and is, eager for the fray As
she Captain goes where duty calls him,
regardless of the risks and dangers he
may incur, fears are entertained that,
Is he is certain to be in the thickest of
the conflict, where bullets. rain like

Novel Reading.
Toi onto Globe.

Tol onto Globe.
We do not agree with those who con,
tend that novels are usually pernicion,
in their effects. We believe that tbs
taste for solid literature lis very often
due TO the hunger for information which
has been stimulated by novel reading.
and we quite agree with Thackeray, that
all healthy Literary appetitee relish now
els as children relish sweets. Some nov.
els arc trash, just as some histories, some
poems, and some works on science an.
but no one wants History, poetry or sc
ence to be banished from the librarjs
1t should not be forgotten that mechap-
ics' institutes have other objects than
the instruction of the public; they are
intended to furnish people with the
means for enjoying leisure oheaply, as
well as with the means of improving
it. The young men and women who
lose themselves in the pages of the nov
elist, at least are doing no harm while 80
engaged; and there are few modern nov
els which convey any but good lessons
Or stimulate their readers to other than
noble efforts. Many man has been led
TO the higher life by such works as
John Halifax" &" Vanity Fair" has
warned clever women like Becky, fools
like Amelia, and stupid good fellows
like Dobbin against the temptations of
the World & 90. Scott has done more
to make the people realize that the Cruz
saders, knights, men-at-arms, Stark moss
troops, and gentle ladies of feudalism
were once really aive-.eating, drinking,
and subject to the vicissitudes of daily
life like ourselves--than all the historis
ans of the language !; and George Eliot,
teaching to-day the infinite complexity
of life, causes us to feel pity for the sin-
ner destroyer very often on the side of
virtues by the consequences of q set of
acts, the first of which was hardly
wrong, though its logical results is the
destruction which overtakes him. VIII
any one assert that the tendencies of
Dickens novels are immoral, or those of
Anthony Tro'lope, or Charles Reade, or
Miss Thackeray, Or indeed any of the
works of the most popular writer's of
fiction? "Ouida" certainly does some
times forget to mete out due puniahment
to her fascinating roues, but in real Life
the bad boy often escapes drowning when
he goes skating on Sunday, and once in
a way it is not displeasing to see the
good-natured scamp of fiction allowed
plenty of time to reform and be all tha
is noble for ever after.
