If the platforms of the three parties before the people are substantially the same (and it is so asserted) the question becomes, not one of issues, to be dealt with by electing parties for or against them, but which party is most likely to carry out those platforms. If we are so united in sentiment that there are no issues we need no parties. If there are no State issues between parties, are there no national issues? And if there are any national issues: how de our votes affect the »? Does the election of a Democrat, Republican or Independent State ticket affect any national issue at stake? Are the questions of hard money, repudiation, the present conditions of the Soutbern States, whom the next President shall be, and above all, the general future of our country and its effeet upon the civilization of the world affected in any manner whatties? If you think so, shovld your vote not rather be cast for your country than for personal prejudices foror against any man or set of men?

Richardson, was 8 native of Franklin county, Missouri, aged fifty-two years, and was one of the few survivors of the Mexican war. Thus one by one the pioneers of our State are dropping off, and the simple announcement of. their death appears in the papers and is passed without even a theught . of the frials and hardships most all of them have passed through to make our country“what itis to-day. G. 8. Richardson, or rather Stroud Richardson, as he was known to all, came to California in the year 1850, and settled on Bear river, where hé has resided most of the time since. He was there when the now rich farms of Bear river and Dry. creek were but a plain. “Cattle were pastured on the bank of Bear river with ua abundance of clear water, where is now only a muddy stream changed from its original channel by mining. Stroud associated himself with his brother Perry and others in farming at a place now known as Tom Young’s, near Kempton’s old crossing. He was also about that fime engaged in mining near Rough and Ready, ata place called -Randolph Flat. Heand his brother Perry also at one time owned whatis known as best interets.

The coal men are making charceal near this city, and the smoke is so thick that the sun ceases its usual feel its excessive heat, smoke or no staoke, It was reverted in town that there was a large fire in the woods, and that a section of the V -. flume had beeh destroyed, but it seems Madame Ramor said: that which was not in accordance with. the trath. The smoke originates from the charceal pits, and there is no fire in the weeds. That’s all. Good Nomination. .The’ Republicans of Sacramento have nominated Hon. James A. Duffy as their candidate for Senator. We don’t believe the party in that county could have done better. Duffy is an honest, able and, wideawake man. He has served several years in the Legislature and his every act will bear the closest scrutiny. We hope he will be elected. +. Nuf Ced. The following is from the Grass Valley Union of -yesterday:. ‘'The Nevada Transcript seems to question our independence, while at the same time we are running the squarest independent paper in the State, as everybody can see.

After the concert a dance was organized and $31 clear was realized from it. The latter sum goes to paying for an organ for the school house. G. V. Union,Oakland Tribune.

Chinese camp meeting will begin on Monday next, and will continue eight days, Immense prepzrations bave been made for the occasion, and Chinamen from’ all parts of the country will come to Grass Valley for the purpose of renewing their vows to Josh, The Joshes this year are larger than those of last year, those at the front of the -: . temple being 14 feet high.

The Grass’ Valley Union says: Wednesday the Osborne Hil Mining Company of that place received a patent to their ground on Osberne Hill, Theapplication for,the patent has been a long time pending in the Land Department of the Government. ‘The patent covers several old locations. Messra. Campbell & Stoddard, of Boston Ravine, are among the principal owners of the Osborne Hill stock. We hope the mine will soon be started to. work, now that the title to the property has been perfected. The Election. . According to the Gode the polls, on the morning of the:election must be opened one hour after sunrise and be kept oper till sunset when they must be closed. We believe the sun. will rise at half past five o’clock on the moraing of the Ist day of Sep-. tember next, Tho officers of election should be careful about opening the polls on time. Sheridan, Agren a Tow days of rest in San/ Francisco (if he can find any rest there) General Sheridan will proceed to Oregen-and ¥.3it his old-stamping . . grounds in that State. The General will remain there about a month,and will devote a good portion of his time to trout fishieg, for he is'a devoted follower of Izaak Walton. When he served in Oregon he Knew all the Lest fishing spots, and he thinks the fish haven't stepped biting in those pools yet.
