.AdviceS from Chincoteague indi
cate that patronage which should
fall tomemberS of the Democratic
party is likely to be transferred to
rartiSans nf different faith, by
mismanagement of our party lead
ers. We refer to the appointment
of IA keeper at killick Shoal Light,
now almost ready for an occupant.
1t being a new light as our cores
pondent suggests, "eveR under the
Civil Service humbug administra-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland" a Democrat
should he appointed to the place,
but If one should be, it will be with
ont thanks to any influence Of our
party leaders and especially of our
REPRESENTATIVE in Congress, who
should control the matter. To be
more explicit, we are informed that
petition Of an applicant Tor the
light, the testimonials of whose fit,
ness for the place is as good as
conld be secured on the Eastern
Shore, has been consigned to the
keeping of Commander EvaliS, an
avowed Republican partisan, and
there it rests as securely as if il
had been consigned to the tomb of
the Capulets. In the meantime
the Republicans are at work and
will secure the appointment for
some member of their party. unless
assistance is secured from some
one other than our representative
in Congress. The light, in fact, has
been already offered to the second
assistant keeper of Assateague
Light who declined it. I h e
appointment of Democrat to
the place must be made, if at all
through the influence of citizens
outside of the State, whose AID is
now being sought. In this connec-
ti0n,we cannot torbear the inquiry,
what has Commander Evans, got
to do with 1t anyway Offensive
partisan though lie is, it is true he
retains in Office Republicans and
without cause removes Democrats
from Office, within his jurisdiction,
but why should he not only be con
suited but allowed to control even,
by pccketing petitions, aapP appoint.

Knew Her Rights,

Certain legal lights have asserted that
there could be no such thing as slavery in
this country, because the law prohibited it,
and consequently that Chinaman could
not be convicted of holding a woman in
slavery because there is no such offense.
Evidently the Chinese women do not take
that view of the matter, else the greater
portion of those now held in servitude
would walk out upon the street and claim
the protection of the law if interfered with.
Last Saturday noon, however, one of these
females showed that if she did not see fit
to use her knowledge of the law to free
herself, she at least could use it in the in
terest of her owner The latter was in
debted to the proprietor of Chinese store
IN the sum of $500, and, as he could not or
would not pay, the store levied upon one of
his women, on Fifth street, near /, with
the intention of sending her to San Fran
cisco to be sold to pay the Indebtedness. 1t
was one thing to levy upon her and another
to take the goods away. She declared that
she would not go, and to attract attention
shrieked wildly. A great crowd of whites
and Chinese soon collected, whistles were
blown and there was great excitement.
Among those who were attracted by the
noise was Judge Henry, who placed one of
the Celestials under arrest for disturbing
the peace. This had quoting effect and
those who had intended to take the woman
away postponed it until some more salts
factory opportunity.

ADVERTISEMENT MENTION.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
A speedy Two-year-old.

At the Bay District tract Saturday one of
the races was between Twinkle and g. VAL
ensin's two-year-old stallion Shamrock
There was no difficulty in starting, as the
mare had the advantage of some three
lengths, but as Howard nodded for the bell
he must have been pretty sure as to the ca
pacity of his horse. Shamrock fully justi-
fed the opinion of his driver, as he soon
gained the lead, and won very easily in
2:31. For the second heat, Shamrock was
sent to beat all records, so the heat was
watched with much interest. The two
year-old showed his mettle by reaching the
quarter in 81 seconds, the half mile in
1:124. the three-quarters in 1:4S1 and, amid
a good deal of excitement, he finished the
mile in 2:25. Now, as in a race Nutbreaker
held the record at 2:29, this reduced the
stallion record by four seconds, while the
best FLY showing was that of Carrie c.,
with 2:274, always excepting Wildfowers
wonderful performance of 2:2l, against
time. Shamrock is a fine black horse,
with handsome and telling gait, and is by
Buccaneer from Fernleaf by Flaxtail, Buc-
cancers sire being Iowa Chief, he by
Green's Bashaw. He is owned and was
bred by G.. Yalensin at the celebrated Arno
ranch near Sacramento. aud is likely to be

Police Court.

In the Police Court Saturday the cases of
All Dow, for keeping an opium den, and
Bob Welch and Louis Hansche, for visit
ing an opium den, were continued until to-
morrow $500 Jack Williams, previously con-
victed of battery upon Alfred Enerton, was
discharged, tesiifying that he saw
the difficulty, and that it was Antoine Greg
DRY, and not Williams, who struck Emer-
.Ah Coon, for having been drunk,
was fined $5......Bob Welsh's case of va
grancy and the charge of disturbing the
peace pending against Mrs. Kicker, were
continued until tomorrow the re-
quest of the prosecuting witness, the charge
of burglary against l. George Orme, who
entered DR.. Atkinson's Office last Sunday
and stole some instruments, was redu ed
from burglary to petit larceny, to which
the defendant pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced to 80 days in the county Jail. The
case of John Norton. previously convicted
of battery upon j. J. Barrett, was taken up
for the pronouncing of sentence, but, on
motion of w. a. Anderson, who urged that
the defendant had been convicted upon the
uncorroborated evidence of a man who was
drunk when the battery was committed,
the Court concluded that it might possibly
have done the defendant injustice, and
granted him new trial, which is set for
tomorrow morning.

Strongly Appealing to sympathy.

A lady by the name of Mrs. Roberts
came to this city some weeks ago, and is
now stopping at the St. George building,
on Fourth street, and in destitute circum-
stances Her husband died of consump-
ton some time since, and her son, young
man living in Los Angeles, is on his death
bed with the same disease. Mrs. Roberts
herself is in almost the last stages of con-
sumption. A number of kind people called
to see her yesterday and gave her food and
clothing. She is an educated and refined
lady, and expresses desire to go to her
son. To that end the case was reported to
this office, the person making the report,
and who is familiar with the case, leaving
S. to start a fund for the widow and little
child she has with her. 1t seems to be a
case of dire necessity, and one that should
appeal to those who are charitably inclined.
Donations in her behalf can be left at the
RECORD UNION office. Bestowing small
amounts by those who can afford it will

Too yIueh Land.

The Gait Gazette of Saturday had the fol-
lowing 81. L. Lester, of this vicinity
who purchased the magnificent ranch of
Simon Prouty situated on Dry creek, some
three years ogo, agreeing to pay therefor
SS1 GOO, was compelled to give up the same
this week. at the time of the sale about
two thirds of the purchase price was paid
down. Mr.. Lester at that time, and up
until week ago, owned tract of $50
acres of the best land around New Hope,
every perch of which is worth 800 an
acre. This latter place he lost also. and
now Mr.. Prouty has got the whole thing in
his own hands. Real estate was very nigh
when Lester purchased the Prouty place
the three last years have proved miserable
failures, all the farmers losing money, and
Lester fell in the crash. We have time and
again pointed out the folly of farmers at
tempting to own and control all the land in
the country"

shnn We BE Heard From .

Recently S. P. Smith, of D. o. Mills
Bank in this city, received letter directed
as follows: Mr. s. P Smith, care of Bank
of California. Los Angeles, Gala" Itwas a
business letter from some old clients of his
Illinois banking days. They had heard
that Mr.. Smith was connected with bank
ing in California, and addressed their letter
to the only place in this State that is ever
heard of east of the Missouri river. The
people of Southern California deserve all
the distinction their section has acquired
through the energy and well directed bust
ness push of its enterprising citizens, and it
is encouraging to see that the people of
Central California are becoming earnest in
their intention to also have the advantages
and rare opportunities of this part of the
State also made known at the East, SO that
letters directed TO our principal business
men need not pass through Los Angeles
and the Dead Letter Office 10 find them.
Let the good work go on. We do not wish
to detract one iota from the good standing
and Astounding prosperity of the people in
the lower portion of the State. but we do
desire our friends at the East to take bite
of Our pie also, in order that they may see
that il is even superior to that OF our
neighbor's
