LOYAL REPUBLICANS.
BroCkWay Still the Banner Town
ship i'm the County.
SANDY FERGUSON GENEROUSLY REMEMBERED


There was no noise or buster about
Tuesdays election. 1t was matter OF
business with republicans, and they at
tended to it without fuss or feathers.
Taking into consideration the fact that
it was an off year, the polling of 1876
votes was somewhat remarkable, being
the largest percentage of the total
vote cast in any township in the
county. Good hard work on the part
of many active republicans from every
portion of the township and village
had much to do with bringing this
about.
The many wild reports that enough
republicans would cut the entire county
ticket to give democratic candidates a
mai were unfounded. There were
just IL of these by actual count. If
there we're originally more, they are to
be complimented for waving personal
luminosity and feeling and voting for
the excellent candidates on their ticket.
Sandy Ferguson may we'll feel proud
of the support given him. Although
his opponent is a farmer of excellent
character and ability and true re-
publican, exactly $50 republicans split
the ticket and voted for Sandy.
One would have supposed to hear the
democrats talk before election that the
whole crowd were going to vote for
Governor Pingree. They freely adj
mitted that he should be supported
and elected, but when it came to split
ting their ticket for him their hearts
failed them, and but II of 1872 voted for
the Governor.
The Republican and Democratic vote
was as follows:

CABIN OF THE PILGRIM.
Remains of the Vessel in Which
Richard II. Dana Sailed Around
Cape Horn.

In the Spanish quarter of Santa Bar
bara there stands little cabin of
singular type of architecture, very
weakly as to its foundations and with
heavily-paneled and deeply-recessed
door presenting a striking contrast to
its diminutive proportions. Many a
curious glance is cast in this direction,
but even among the oldest citizens of
a little city rich in these time -honored
individuals, few are aware that they
are looking upon the cabin of.the good
ship Pilgrim, which brought Richard
II. Dana around the Horn in the early
'30s, when he began gathering material
for his famous book, Two Years Be
fore the Mast"
The story of the wreck of the Pilgrim,
as told by a reliable Santa Barbara
man, is a strange romance of the sea.
1t seems that after discharging the
| cargo which she had brought around
the Horn, she remained on the Pacific,
engaging in the coasting trade. Shippers
must have been scarce in that day, for
in no other way can the fact be account
ed for that she finally fell under the
command of Capt. Moses, who, old
seamen bitterly assert, knew no more
about navigation than a babe in arms.
One day Capt. Moses started from
Monterey with a cargo of potatoes and
lime for San Francisco. 1t is to be pre-
sumed that the San Francisco con-
signees heard nothing of her, for sew
eral weeks later Moses hailed a ship
just arriving from Mazatlan and lying
in tie Santa Barbara channel, anxious
ly inquiring his way to Ventura, and if
the market for potatoes and lime was
likely to be promising one in that di-
rection. Judge Mcguire, the father of
the younger generation of Maguires
living in Santa Barbara to-day, was to
De married that night, and the skipper
was invited ashore to the wedding. A
storm came up and the vessel went
ashore, and this is how it comes that
the ships cabin, rescued from the
wreck, became landlubber's home, in
stead of floating upon the high seas.
Dirt and squalor pervade it, sin and
crime have Haunted themselves within
it, murder has very nearly stained its
walls with blood, but the stanch little
cabin, built of good, honest timbers,
still holds its own, and seems mutely
to plead with passers-by to rescue it
from its ignominious fate. Cleansed
and repaired and reprinted, and with
vines trained over its roof, it would not
make an i'll ornament for some ones
lawn, and might yet do good service as
