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, Slate 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. Te GLEE ee ha Party.—The German Glee Club had a pleasant party _ “motwithstanding the storm, and at ‘the “request of friends they will give another Bre Bally Beans ‘. with people, and “Party Rr 2 Fenpcany —The Union party standing the slight rain on Tuesday 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 Baptist Church, this evening at 7 o’clock—subject: “The date of our Saviour’s birth.” A collection will, be taken up, the proceeds to be applied to purchasing singing books for the Sunday School. ITALY produces twelve million bottles of wine daily. THE Mendocino Grand Jary, at its late session, ignored the charges against Martin Frost, Isham Frost and Abner C.

The parties were all discharged. —_— AN enterprising tradesman in London has attracted considerable notice to . . an assortment of revolvers exhibited in his window, owing to his having a printed card directing attention to the weapons in these terms: “Suitable for the Fenian season.” illustrate the force of example, station ed themselves at the door of a place of amusement, recently, with ambrellas up, and “sold” the ou crowd, who began to button up in preuae. although 10 wen's Tae CumisTmas Taxes. —NotwithAt the Congregational Church a hand. distance of fourteen feet and was totally . “Two young men at Easton, Pa: to For. the first time Washington will witness, during this Winter, the diplomatic rivalry between Turkey and .
