The Democrats having no State ticket
in the field, their duty is certainly plain.
It has been one of the Rrst principles of
Democracy to enfrauchise tho oppressed
people Of our State, aud in the campaign
they will certainly not hesitate to support
that ticket which has done more within
tho last few months for the suffrage
amendments than any other. While the
McClurg party has been divided upon
this issue, and the man who heads their
ticket afraid to come out squarely and
say where be stood, for fear Of offending
the "Eternal Hateites," Brown and his
party have stood out boldly and advoca-
ted the amendments. Whatever may
have been the past records Of these men,
they are assuredly as good as the Nc
Clurgites, and then they are all right on
the issues Of the day. If we had q vote
it would go for Brown.

We have been asked by several inde-

the exception Of ono or two names, which
might be overlooked by them.


IF any are thus deceived, for deception
it certainly is, We are determined that the
blame shall not rest with US, and hence we
will not print the name Of any iudepend.
ent candidate on the regular Democratic
ticket. We know this thing has been
done in the county heretofore, but are
proudly conscious that no such charge can
be laid to US aud we know further, that
such tickets, claiming to be the regular
Democratic ticket, will be before the peo.

who were told by us that VIC could not

people, have threatened to have them

Offices in adjoining counties.

The Scientific Press under the above cap,
ton corrects an error Of ours in supposng
that the Johnston and Downey process of
distillation was one and the same, or at
least very similar. Before we saw Mr..
Downey's card, and after we had written the
article referred to by the Press, we bad some
conversation with Senator Wilson, of Los
Angeles, who knew something of the Down
ey process, and from what we learned from
him we were convinced that the two inveu-
tions we're not the same. The impression
left on our mind from what Senator Wilson
said, was that the Dowpey process was a
SLOW, tedious one and not likely 10 be suc.
cess, for want Of capacity and cheapness;
which is net the case with the Jobnsto still
or invention. We had been advised that
Johnston and Downey had had some con-
fer ence or correspondence on the subject,
and naturally supposed that be was plying
the Jobnston invention, and possibly BY con.
sent Of the inventor. We regard the inven-
ton as one of mmeasurable value to the
whole coast. In the same connection the
Press states the following in reference to
the Johnston invention:


GAS the patents for Mr.. Johnston's still were
obtained through the Scientific Press Agency
for the United States, England and France, we
will state the important points of the invention:
First Economy OF time in making spirit en-
trely free from iusel oil exc ess of acetc ether
at one operation.


Second--A saving of the usual cost of rectif-
cation by charcoal or any other means.


Ihird-Saving of waste and loss in exposing
a large quantity of weak spirit to condensation,
by the old process.


Fourth Nothing is made 10y this still except
high.proof spirit; the proof being entirely under
the control of the operator.


There is at Bugbey's vineyard, El Dorado
county, two of these stills made of wood. work
ing to one column and one worm. In the pipe
leading from the stills to the column there are
balanced valves, by means of which the stills
can be worked alternately. When steam is turn
ed on No. l, it opens the valve leading to the
column, and closes the valve on No. 2; and as
soon as the spirit has been exhausted from No. d,
steam is turned op No. 2, closing the valve in
No. l. The pomace or wine is then discharged
from No. which is exchanged and ready for
operation. When the spirit has been exhausted
from No. 2, no time is lost in discharging and
loading.


The spirituous vapor on leaving the still, pass
es into the six-chambered column or rectifer. As
it ascends through the different chambers, it en-.
counters, in each, coil of pipe containing cold
water, by which the water and impurities are
condensed and separated from the vapor. An
uniform temperature is maintained in the upper
chamber of the column by the flow of water
through the pipes, so that spirit of any desired
strength can be brought over, ana nothing but
high-proof spirit goes into the worm. The only
portion of the spirit that requires rcdistilation
is few gallons which come over first on each
charge, about so per cent. over proof con tain
ing an excess of acetic ether.

WHERE ARE THEY.-Early in The session
bills were introduced TO repeal the Registry
Act and 10 enact an uniform ticket law.
These are both Democratic measures and
the public have been led to believe that this
is Democratic Legislature. The repeal Of
the odous Know Nothing Registry Law is
demanded by nine hundred and ninety mine
out Of every thousand Democrats in the State
and we can assure the Democratic members
of the Legislature that if they fail TO repeal
or greatly modify it they will find them
selves "ysarliugs" when they come before
Democratic Conventions for a re-nomina-
ton. The uniform ticket law is demanded
by the Constitution as we'll as every consid-

MUSICAL FEsrIvAL.-The great musical
festival which commenced at San Francisco

it may, and we hope will be financial sue

first entertainment says:


"The musical festival to day was attended by
about five thousand persons, while fully that

capital, and ease over the way for
some disafrected Republican votes to

at that time-admitting him to have
been a thorough "War Democrat.
there are yet other things to be con-

those who have sufficient grasp Of
mind to properly perceive the true
scope and tendency Of politics and
events-those who, in short, while
holding that position, had at the
same time sufficient Of those quail
ties to fit them for Congressional and
other important positions--long ago
left the bcl-loving Democratic or
ganization, and found their proper
political home in the Republican
party, the only party, indeed, that
could be a home for them.


But Mr.. Smith is not of this class.
Whether for lack of ability to per-
ceive the logical necessities of the
events of the last ten years, or from
lack of sufficient political inform
alton to enable him to perceive them,
or from worse and lower cause
than either of these, he still abides
in the Democratic party. His SYM
pathics are with his political nssocia-
tions. He cannot remain with the
Democratic party, and be supported
by its votes, and at the same time
favor the Republican policy. He
must be either fish, flesh or fowl, and
cannot be all together.


And there can be no doubt as to
what he would be. If elected to
Congress his vote would all the time
be with the rest Of the Democratic
vote in that body, counting just as
much on that side as the vote Of the

About two miles and o half from

Esq, there have recently been dis
covered several curious hot springs.
The one we now speak Of, and the
most remarkable one Of all, Is of con-
siderable size, the water of which,
when properly seasoned with pepper
and salt cannot be distinguished from
the best chicken soup. OF the hum
dreds who have partaken Of It, all
agree that IL has precisely the taste of
chicken soup or broth. The proprie-
tors have made many experiments
with the water of this spring, and
find 1t to be both wholesome and nu-
tritiOus. Three pounds of beef boiled
In the water OF the spring yields as
much soup as could be obtained from
twelve pounds of the same meat
cooked in common water. The spring
is one Of group Of hot springs situa-
ted in a stretch Of moderately hilly
or rolling country, and is In no way
remarkable In appearance. Like the
other springs about the place, 1t is at
the top of little mound Ofloam and
sediment, formed by the decay Of
plants and mineral deposits.
