NEVADA: crry, CALIFORNIA,
‘FRIDAY, DEc. ro. 1867.
tt
of Cslifornia seems te have been very
unfortunate in its selection of leaders,
, and most of the members of the organ—
seem to be aware of the fact.
s idea pervaded the caucus at Sacramento, and instead of discarding the
been wrecked and taking up some man
_ who has shown the qualifications of a
~ leader in. the party, but who has never
yet been honored by it, they discard_ ed entirely every man who has been
“prominently associated with the party
and nominated one who has been a
mere ¢ypher in the organization. The
' Alta traly says: “Brown of Contra
Costa, or Smith of Yuba may be excel-.
lent names withal, but Falstaff’s forked
tadish,with a head fantastically carved, . ome:
would be just as useful at the head of
Of he Union column,” and this want
of meritand force for a leader is the
evidence upon which the friends of
Brown based his claims for the nomination. If there is any other rule by
which to test the qualifications of a
party leader, than his record of service
to the party and the prominent part he
has taken in the party contests we do
not know it, and yet the Union caucus
takes up a man whose only recommendation is that “he.was not in any man=
ner identified with either wing of the
Union’ party in the late contest,” and
who, though he has been in the Legislature for, several terms, has failed to
do auything to distinguish himself from
_@ny other Brown of the large class who
have 1 name. It is) true that the
vote of the Legislature was an empty
honor, but it has its influence on the
fature. There isa principle involved
+ hen matter which the Union party
understand, and its members
should de if they are ready to make.
such a " policy the rule of party action in
the fature. Is Brown to be doctored
‘by this’ vote as a candidate for Governor
or Congress? Are the Union men of
the State ready to ratify the act of their
representatives or say that hereafter
only those who are workers in the party
“contests shall participate in its honors ?
We have already tried this policy, by
the election of Conness, and he has repaid our effort at harmony by defeating
the party with the best principles, in
’ his efforts to accomplish his own selfish
“purposes. If such a policy is to be
pursued, what,inducement is there for
men of ability and commanding minds
to enter the contests on the side of the
party. They are informed beforehand
that if they lead the party in one contest they “must takea back seat forever
after.” . Such‘a principle in any party
is wrong, and we hope the rank and
file of the Union party will repudiate
‘the principle upon which the majority
of the Union caucus acted in the Senatorial matter. We want for electors
men who are qualified to énter the field
and make a vigorous and able canvass ;
men who can combat the positions of
the opposition, and not the amiable
gentlemen who have no merit save their
obscurity to recommend them. The
Union party want men of strong intel_ lect and ability to lead it, and none such
can be found that “‘are not in any manner identified with its contests,” and
victory can never be won by any such
policy. Wehope that from this time
forward a better and wiser policy may
. mark the acts of the Union party,

DAMAGE IN LitTLE YorK.—Considerable damage was doné by the storm in
“Little York township. Alport’s barn,
at his slaughter house, near Red Dog,
was blown down—damage $100. Star's
flumes:were damaged to the extent of
$800 by the wind. At You Bet, Frank
Snell’s dwelling was blown off the un Gerpining, and — damaged.

evening the Methodist, Congregational
and Baptist charches were well filled .
all the Areca were .
beautifully decorated with presents.—
The Methodist Church was very heautifally trimmed. On either side of the
tree American flags were gracefully
hang upon ‘the wall, and over them,
in-evergreen letters, was the motto,—
“In God we trust.” Above this was a
gilt. star, emblematic of the Star of
Bethlehem. On either side of the]:
Church large wreaths were hung, ‘in
which were printed, ‘‘Faith,” Hope,”
‘Charitv,” etc., while at the end of the
Church, in ‘a large wreath was an engraving of “Christ blessing little children.” “fle tree contained a large
number of ‘handsome presents, which
were distributed after singing by the
school and a short speech by Rev. Mr.
Northup. :
The tree atthe Baptist Church wasa
model of beauty and it was very handsomely decorated. The tree was.surmounted by a handsome banner fringed
with gold, upon which was: inscribed, '
“Baptist Sunday School.”. The exercises were varied by singing anda distribution of presents.
some tree was loaded with presents,
and the singing and distribution of
presents made the exercises interesting.
The friends of Mr. Fraser, the pastor,
surprised him with a purse containing
a considerable amount of money. The
exercises in all the churches passed off
very pleasantly, and we believe that
the committees did the work so well
that no child of either school went
. away without some present.
Hovsk DEMoLisHED.—The Nevada.
waterfront has sustained considerable
injury by the late flood. On Wednesday evening, about 5 o’clock, the building owned by John Williams and occupied by Richard Rowe as a paint shop,
had’ the piles swept from ‘under it by
the water of Deer Creek and came down
with a crash, It fell to the creek a
demolished. Yesterday morning men
were engaged in fishing out the Juamber
which had not been carried off. The
damage is probably from $150 to $200,
Weare informed by old residents: of
this city, that the Jenny Lind theatre,
which was swept away by a freshet,
about 15 years ago, was situated upon
the same site.
IMPASSABLE.—Yesterday morning,
Broad street bridge was impassable, in
consequence of a cave in the street,
caused by the undermining of the bank
by the creek. The bridge was ge
nately not damaged. .
THE Union of ‘Wednesday reported
the water 22 feet and 5 inches above low
water mark at Sacramento,
THE Rev. Mr. Wirth will lecture at

THE Mendocino Grand Jary, at its
