No SMOKING IN HERE.-"YOu

want to smoke come out here on the

"All right" returned the passen-

think it would hurt nothin'," he
said, apologetically; "seein's there
aint any straw in the car to catch
fire.''
"But there are ladies th ere."
"Oh, yes; didn't think nothin'
bout that. Might get ashes on their
gowns and spile 'em."

Too BAD.-We really feel sorry for
Henry Larkin, whom we believe to be a
straight forward honorable gentleman,
but little erratic politically and alto
gether too ambitious for the ability he
possesses. After backing and filing, and
blowing hot and blowing cold, be sue
ceeded in securing the nomination from
the Workngmen and Honorable Bilks
for Railroad Commissioner in this Dis
trict. Everything looked bright and the
future promised success when, 10 and
behold the Democratic Convention
nominated Carpenter, OF El Dorado, in
stead Of indorsng Larkin as he no doubt
felt confident they would do. The gem
tleman fondiy imagined that he had sur
rounded the w. p. G.. and n. q. p. and
was bringing them triumphantly into the
Democratic camp when all too late he
discovered that they had captured him
and Democracy rejo.ced at the deliver
ance. No man will ever amount to much
politically unless he has sense enough to
stick to his party and not run after
" strange gods"

Northern California Railroad from Will

his desk a copy of the new Constitution
and said: "When the people voted this

another dollar in extending railroads.

DvMocRAr1c STATE TIcKET.-After

DgMocRATIc STATE TIcKET.-Atter
much confusion, disorder, declinatlons
and forcible nominations, the Democrat
ic State Convention managed to put forth
n ticket. Few if any of the Delegates
assembled appeared to hope that it hsd
any chance whatever of being successful.
This was manifested by the extreme diff
fculty apparent in securing men VINO
would permit their names to be used IN
connection with a nomination under the
circumstances. Certain it is that some
of the names presented by the Conven-
ton would never have appeared on
Democratic State Ticket had there been
any chance whatever of electing them.
P rominent Delegates, who realized the
situation, objected to assessing the can
didates ten dollars each and plainly sta
ted that n nomination by tho Convention
was not worth that amount. Boundless
ambition and an Unsuitable appetite for
glory has induced the following persons
to allow their names to be used. The
ticket is far from being satisfactory to the
best elements of the Democratic Party in
California

for every child born to her. Mr.. Chand-

lief. AT the time he made the offer he
WAS not acquainted with his son law,
and he had more confidence in his daueh-
ter than he has now. They have seemed
to conspre against the old man, and it is
believed that his bad temper towards
Democrats and rebels is caused by this
constant drain on bis bank account. A
committee of Democrats have waited up
on Hall to induce him to go to Europe for
his health, but he says he can t leave his

FACTS ABOUT RAILROAD CHARGES -.
The Sacraraento Record Union furnish~
es the following comparative statement
of freight charges on the Central Pa
cihc Railroad and Leased Lines in Cal
ilorn ia:
The truth is that a steady reduction in
in lreights and fares has been proceeding
constantly Thus the average freight
charge in 1872 was .S5 cents per ton per
mile, and in 1873 it had been reduced to
90 cents per tod per mile, or total re-
duction of % 98 per cent. while still fur
ther reductions mace since last year bring
the decline TO full 80 per cent. below the
rates Of 1872. These figures prove that
the rates are being lowered constantly,
and the fair presumption is that they are
reduced IN prompt response to the de-
mands of business. Again, while the
law permits the eXaetion of Is cents per
nile us the maximum rate, an examina-
tlon of the business not long since showed
that only Z per cent. of the whole amount
of freight carried renched the maximum.
while 81 per cent. of the entire local busi,
ness was done at an average Of Q 80 cents
per ton per mile. Adding this low-pric.
ed local traffic to the through traffic, it
was found that 62 per cent. of the entire
tonnage was moved at the rate of Q cents
per month per mile, and that 46 per cent.
OF the whole amount was carried at the
inte OF ls6 cents per ton per mile.

THE MINING MANIA. - The New York
Times has two-coumn article on the
coming mining mania. Itsays: The
indications are too many and too plain to
be mistaken, that fever of speculation
is beginning in gold and silver mine
stocks. The price of seats in the Mining
Stock Board here has risen from $75 to
some hundreds. Brokers who never
touched this class of paper are now oper-
ating extensively in it; new min ing COM
panies are coming out with displayed
advertisements in the papers; names of
men we'll known in politics are paraded
at the head of the prospectuses; every
little exchange shop down town has its
freshly written placard, announcing that
all kinds of mining stocks are bought and
sold there.

TWELVE sets of telephones have been
sent out to Sir Garnet Wolseley for use
at the seat of War in South Africa The
great advantage OF the telephone over the
telegraph Is that the General can carry on
confidential talk with the officer at the
district station, or soldier can creep out
toward the enemy's lines and whisper
back the information as to position. a
fine wire-the thinner the better-is all
that is needed. This the soldier carries
on reel upon his back, mile weighing
only few pounds. This will be the
first time the telephone has been used as
an instrument of warfare.

MUST The New Constitu-

and decidedly objects to its candidate
occupying the position of tail to n would
be Democratic kite. The State Central
Committee of the Honorable Bilks held
n secret session at San Francisco last
Monday afternoon, lasting from till 5
o'clock, when they had this matter under
serious consideration. The Secretary
declined giving any Information concern
ing the proceedings, but from other
sources it was ascertaned that the subject
of discussion was the removal of DR..
Glenn from the ticket. The general view
taken was that the Doctor must cast his
lot either with the II. BIS. or Democrats
no double bareback act. II was finally
decided to hold another meeting next
Monday evening, when DR.. Glenn is ex-
pected to be present. II he then decides
to deciin the Democratic nomination he
will be allowed to retain his position on

"SoLD BUT NOT DELIVERED" Such
is the heading of n leading article in the
Yreka Jou1nol Of July 9th wherein the
editor, a strong advocate of the New Con-
slitution, plainly talks as follows;
The nomination of DR.. Glenn by the
IL. B. convention exhibited sell out, for
it was generally known that Glenn only
accepted it on condition Of being endors-
ed by the Democracy, and according to
the platform of the two parties, he either
repudiated one or the other, and is repub-
iated hv the Democracy rs candidate
of the II. BIS. The II. BIS. understand
this, and rumor has it that thcy are al
ready making efforts to have bis name
taken down from the head Of their TICKET.
DR.. Glenn is noted land monopolist,
and were i: not for employing Digger In.
dans and Cinnamon to work his planta
Ito n on the Southern slavery style, his 10
m lies of land along the Sacramento river
would be kept for speculation, and there
by have made him n strong opponent OF
oar new constitution in place OF favoring
it. He is also heavy shipper by rail
road and to aid his own pocket he won Id
come to terms with the monopoly to his
advantage. In fact it is generally be-
ieved that the railroad corporation mani
pulated the head OF the II. B ticket. for
the sole purpose OF debating nm endorse
ment by the Democracy, especially when
n conference of railrond Democrats was
held for that purpose day or two before
the Ill. b. Convention assembled.
The result is no Republic an who has
any respect for himself, can conscientious
| ly vote for Glenn, and whatever may be
said about Perkins, he gained his nomi-
nation in a straightforward manner. and
no one can impugn his honesty and in,
tegrity, 50 that we have no fear that he
will deal unjustly with the people. In
lact it seems very humiliating for even
Democrats to support Glenn, after the two
faced way he has acted in trying to cap
tnre Republican votes under false colors
He played the hypocrite and traitor to
his principles as a Democrat after en-
dorsng the New Constitution party plat
form, which asserts that the Democratic
party is too corrupt TO be trusted with
the reins of our State government.

The New Constitution party declared
that they would not support for office any
man who opposed that instrument, yet
they nominated as .her candidate for
Secretary Of State Laured e. Crane, of
Sierra, If whom the Downieville Messen-
ger says "He was one of the most bit
ter opponents of the new Constitution,
going so far as to take the stump and
make speech against it a few days be-
fore the election. He is also an employe
of large number of Chinese in the Gold
Ell Star mining claim in which he is an
owner, and until quite recently Superin-
tendent."

A DELUsTvE HoPE.-In agita:ing the
situation in friendly spirit among our
neighbors, we find an occasional New
Constitution man who expresses a belief
in the possible election of DR.. Glenn
Democrats, without exception SO far as
we have conversed with them, concede
the success of the entire Republican State
Ticket. The too-confding II. BIS claim
that enough Republicans will vote the
New Constitution Party Ticket to more
than make up for the Democrats who will
support the Workingmen, but in this
claim they count without their host
There is no earthly reason why Repub-
lican should bolt his party ticket this
year. The New Constitution has been
adopted by rair express ion Of the peo-
pie, and it will be as faithfully and hon-
estly administered by Geo. G.. Perkins as
it can possibly be by DR.. Glenn or any
other man. From the strongest New
Constitution Districts of this State we
have advices that Republicans are entire
ly satisfied with the nom nations made
by their party, the Constitution question
is regarded as settled and they have no
desire to defeat themselves in a senseless
war upon those of their party comrades
who held an honest difference Of opinion
on that question. The few sore headed
malcontents who have cast their lot with
the II. B. element are as nothing to the
grand army of Republicans, and their loss
will be repaid many fold by the accession
of Democrats who are thoroughly dis
gusted with the ostracism attempted to
be enforced by the selfish rule-or-ruin ell
ement which had majority in the late
Democratic Convention. We observe
th&t the ch ief II. b. organ has quit talk
ing of the A" majority" its ticket will re-
ceve and now speaks of plurality. -
Republicans who at first anticipated only
a plurality now feel confident of a clean
majority over all their opponents
Counting on Republicans deserving their
colors this year is folly.

HEAVY CLUB. The "hve" paper, the
organ of the II. BIS in San Francisco
publishes long list OF New Constitution
Clubs that have been organ lied in this

such. If there is such Club in this city
very few know it. 1t is surely not CT
suflic lent size TO beat out the brains OF
any of the other parties here. The Re
pubicans, Democrats and Workingmen
have live clubs here, but who knows any

Gently at Fort Vancouver, on the Pacific

also considerable sum of money he had

and that his only heir is a half breed
daughter, whose friends can prove the
