The Democracy.

All day yesterday little knots of Demo
Gratis were to be seen upon almost every
street corner, discussing the political situa-
ton. They seemed to be at sea without
either sail or rudder, the u obscured by
lowering clouds, and their compass out OF
repair. They were badly affected with a dis
order that seems to be contagious, and for
fear of catching it, the Big Ten and Little
Six kept aloof from n another. When
they met, which they occasionally did at
the Capital Hotel, the fur would fly"
The Big Ten would sit upon the fence,
and snarling at the Little Six, would say
Z" You raised hades, didn't you. You wanted
to ~monopolize things now you've got it
ali your own way, and what are you
going to do about it?" The Little Six
would retort in language more vigorous
than polite, in~terspersed with the most sar-
castle illusions to violations of obligations
in the past, of perfidy, of treason to party,
etc. All day were representatives of the
great unterrified wandering the streets il.
mourning, trying to pacify the recalcitrant
children OF Democracy. Their advice
seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Last
night the opposing factions were securely
tented on their respective nights, and a
great valley of despond lay between them.
The Little SKIS Central Committee has
found a sufficient number of self-sacrificing
Democrats to fill the blanks upon the
ticket, and their names will be added by
the committee tonight. The members OF
the committee refuse to give away" the
names of those who are willing to bare
their necks to the political guillotine that
will decapitate them, together with their
other candidates, on the ID of November.

time is that if the big Ten" knew who
were to be put up tomorrow night, they
would pull them down." 1t Paynes the
Little Six to listen to the Blessings that
are so freely and ~copiously showered upon
their heads by the "Big Ten

Natural Soldiers.

The pelican is generally considered a
stupid old "duffer," yet those who have
had opportunity to watch his movements
Will testify to the contrary. Those that
have been captured while young and tanned
show an aptitude for learning a variety of
cunning tricks, but in their natural state
they evince much more intelligence than
they are credited with. The water on the
low land in the immediate vicinity of Fish
erman's Lake is just now swarming with
fish, and in consequence a large number of
pelicans nave assembled there. The fish
are so plentiful that the birds do not have
to skirmish" for food, but take their
meals regularly. The observer will see a
large flock of them standing near the water
so motionless that they might be consid-
cred a bunch OF stuffed specimens. Pres
emily there is g commotion among them,
andtwo or three move about. hen the
whole band marches to a place where the
water is shallow, and, like soldiers in skir-
mish drill,, take position a few feet apart,
| and. apparently at an understood signal,
| all commences striking the water and NOV
ing forward toward q point where the body
of the water is narrow. They keep a good
| alignment, and proceed as steadily as old
veterans gradually closing up as they near
| the objective point, and then, the fish hav-
ing been driven into a small space, they
open their bills and every fellow scoops up
such fish as he can, storing them away in
his pouch, TO be disposed of after he goes
ashore and has dried his feathers. The
whole proceeding shows a complete under
standing. and is carried out with a disci-
pline that is truly remarkable.

Those excursions from the Eas..

DR.. Latham returned from San Francisco
last evening, and states that arrangements
were yesterday completed with Nh Good
man, of the Southern Pacific Company,
and Colonel Hitchcock, of the Union Pa
ciic, TO afford every facility for running
excursion trains from the East to Central
California, that has heretofore been en-
joyed by the excursion companies running
to southern California. The privileges con
sist in the fitting up of third-rate cars in
the most comfortable ann and bringing
the passengers through on express time, at
special rates. The terms TO the excursion
companies are such as to make it an object
for them to advertise this part of California
throughout the Eastern States and Terri
tories; organize excursions, and accom-
pany the people here. This is the accom-
plishment of an object for which the I'm
migration Association of Central California
has la5ored for nearly two years.
There are ten of these excursion compa-
MES which have been advertising southern
California in the East, until they have
made the winterlesS climate and peren-
NAL flowers of that section household
words, and brought $4,000 excursionists to
that part of the State within the past two
years. A large per cent of these have remain
ed and purchased homes, or subsequently
returned here for that purpose. 1t may be
said that G3 of the 10000 became adYertis-
ing mediums with their relatives and
friends at the East for the country visited
or adopted.
Among the vast number who came were
alike home-seeker and health-seekers, and
this portion of the State affords greater in
ducements for both. 1t now depends upon
the people of Central California whether
we shall reap a like benefit from the ar
rangements just perfected. To do this we
must not only bring the excursionists here.
but must be ready with information as to
lands which can be purchased in quantities
to suit the home seeker, and we must show
that our foothills, mountain and seaside
resorts are fully as desirable as southern
California, for those who seek for health
and pleasure. In order to do this, the
people in every county in the central and
northern portions of the State should
organize and be ready to receive and enter
tain these people. The press will also have
its part to perform, and it is believed will
awake to the full measure of the occasion
and of its responsibilities.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
White Bass.

r. D. Cooper, while fishing with a net at
Fisherman's Lake Monday night, caught
two fine white bass, in splendid condition
and weighing about one and one-half
pound. each. These are the first fish of
the species that nave been caught in this
section of the State, so far as we are aware,
and are of the lot imported by the Fish
Commissioner several years ago and
planted in several of the streams near the
Bay, from whence they evidently made
their way to where they were caught dur
ing the high water last winter. They are
on exhibition at GeorgeC G. Cooper's market,
X street, between Fifth and Sixth, where
they yesterday attracted much attention.
There are eleven varieties of bass, the black
bass and rock bass, of fresh water, being
those with which the public are most IA
miliar. The white bass, sometimes called
white perch, is peculiar to Lake Erie and
the upper lakes, and is very abundant in
them. In color it is a light olive above,
and silyery white on the sides and belly,
with numerous longitudinal dark lines, the
number varying in different specimens. 1t
is an excellent fish on the table, and a bold,
voracious bitter. If there is one fish more
than another that the angler would desire
to find in great number in the waters of
California. in addition to those we now
have, it is the bass, and the finding of the
two referred TO in this vicinity will cause
Sacramento lovers of the gentle sport to
hope that in a few years the fish will have
increased to as great an extent as have the
;shad and carp, with which the Sacramento
n its tributaries are now well filled.

Headed OF From tn. Hatcherv.

Judging from the following item, found
in the Fall River Maa, the salmon are
having trouble in the upper Sacramento, as
well as in the lower river and bays: 1T
was only a few days agothat we noticed in
the Red Bluff papers that salmon in liberal
numbers were running the Sacramento by
that. place, but as yet lone have reached
the hatcheries. for which failure there must
be a legitimate cause. The best solution is
the theory that the big drive of sawlogs
which is on its way TO Redding has pre-
vented the upstream progress of the fish.
This is certainly plausible, for the natural
home of the salmon is on the rifles, and On
these is where the logs lodge, at times pre-
venting the passage of even a minnow.
Another fact is apparent, that fish will not
attempt 10 pass beneath a jam of timber
even in deep water. and, together with the
blasting occurring on the river, it is not
strange that the headways and tributaries
of the Sacramento are devoid of this migra-
tory tribe of food fish"

guests OF their cousin, Sergeant Barwick. They
left for the East last evening, and Miss Holt will
remain with relatives in Maryland for some
time. Mr.. Holt is highly pleased with his short
visit in California, and is now hurrying home
for fear a longer stay will induce lin to per-
manently locate in this State. With its winter

Sacramento.
Much has been said about the apparent
dull times, and complaint of a lack of BUSH
ness in all commercial lines. This is not
borne out in fact, for an investigation in
all the lines of business in this city indicates
a healthy state of affairs, an increase over
any preceding year. One of the best cri-
terions to go by in making comparisons in
commercial business is the number OF let
tiers forwarded and received and the volume
of business done by the Postotfce..
Below is given a statement OF the busl-
ness transacted in the Sacramento Postotfice
during the quarter ending September 80,
1886, and for the same quarter IN 1885:
The first column is for this year, the second

Swift and Waterman Legion.

The Swift and Waterman Legion, organ
lied out of the Blaine Hat Brigade, met at
the old Pavilion last night, Brainard F.
Smith presiding, Reports of Finance and
Uniform Committees were received. The
membership roll was increased to over 100.
H. l. Seymour was elected Commander
and Lieutenant Birdsall Vice-Com-
mander. To these was left the ap-
pointment OF four Lieutenants. The
Legion, in order to accommodate diff
fering tastes, resolved to permit a portion
of the Legion to adopt a different uniform
from that of the major portion of the club,
and to move as a division of the main or
ganization. After adjournment a number
of the club organized in such division, and
resolved, for a uniform hat, to wear pearl
colored low-crowned planters hats and
satin badges. The main division will wear
the tin polo-cap and silvered capes. The
Legion has secured fifty flambeaus, which
will be used first on Saturday night. A
hundred uniforms will be ready Friday
evening, when the Legion-both divisions
will meet at the old Pavilion again at s
o'clock. Information regarding Elephant
er's hat division can be had of Mr.. John
son, the Secretary, in business hours, at

opened again at the meeting Friday night,
