The great event in the experience ‘of Sacramento—the change of the Administration and the meeting of the Legislature—has taken place. hotels are crowded, and a large representation of both political parties The Democrats have the Senate, and the whole party was anxious to get a share in the spoils; for that reason there were many candidates for every cliice at the disposgl of the Senate. Republicans, too, have a multitude of candidates for every office in the gift of the party. KING CAUCUS. Fortunately for candidates the caucuses were held early, and the ‘cases were soon disposed of. On Monday night, the Assembly caucus was held. The Capitol was brilliantly illuminated, and the Republican Asserablymen were on hand. It was generally conceded before the mecting of the caucus that Shanuon and majority.

The inauguration of the Governor elect has been ‘postponed to Friday. The Republican Senatorial caucus: is set for Friday night. It is conceded that Sargent will be the nominee on the first ballot. Buare anp Forrest.—-In regard to the recapture of Chris Blair and Billy Forrest, the Carson Register of last Sunday says: District Attorney Gale of Sierra county, Cal., telegrapbs that Chris C. Blair and Wm. Forrest, two of the convicts who escaped from our State Prison in the September break, are in custody at Downieville, and will have an examination at 4 yp. mM. on Wednesday next. From this we infer that Blair and Forrest have friends in Downieville who are endeavoring to get them réleased on habeas corpus. Sheriff Grant of the same place, also telegraphs that he has arrested another (a third) man who is believed to be one of the convicts who eseaped from the Nevada State Prison, on the 17th of September last. He does not. state which of the convicts the suspicious character is supposed to be. Cotron1n Los ANGELEs.—The News has the annexed on this subject: Various experiments in cotton raising on a small scale have from time to S‘arnal Clerk, A. Thompson; Copy* ing Clerks, I. Eyre and F. Crique. The Assembly‘Republican caucus was also held on Monday night, but the party being in the minority the candidates had to be sought. The Senate Democratic caucus nominated J.T. Farley, of Amador, Speaker pro tem; Robt. Ferrall, Secretary, defeating Joe Roberts, formerly of Nevada; T. J. Shakleford Assistant Secretary. We suppose as the nominations are now made the Legislature will soon get to work. THE NEW CODE. Ever member is supplied with copies of the revised code, and each cne will have ample time to examine the work, It is generally thought by those who have made the matter a study that the work cannot be improved, and that the Legislature ought to adopt it as passed by the Oommission, after the reeommendation of Johnson and Tuthill. OUR DELEGATION, The Nevada delegation stands high with the members of the Legislature, and they seem determined to work for the interests of the State und of their constituents. Senators Kent and O’Connor are domiciled at the Golden Eagle, where many of the Nevada people are stopping. Bell and Everett, (a suggestive combination of names) have seats together on the floor ef the Assembly chamber, and Days and Barker are in other parts of the hall. They are all on the alert and ready for work. We hope and believe the ‘records of all will be creditable to. themselves and acceptable to the people. SENATORIAL, There was an effort made to bring . the Senatorial fight into the contest for organization, but it failed, and the contest was urged upon the merits of candidates. Cole and Felton have headquarters at the Arcade and Sargent is at the Orleans. Felton is now & pronounced candidate, and the opponents of Sargent will support him or any other man who can gain strength, but the game is up. Sargent bas friends from every county inthe State, and they count at least upon 44 votes on the fizst balCole’s friends have many of them admit. they ,have, no hope. They.are-nowowaiting for acme Candidate to turn up who will time been made in Los Angeles, with varying success. This season Major Strong, believing that the culture of this staple could be made profitable, planted some 200acres. The ground selected was on one of the ranches ‘owned by the Los Angeles and San Bernardino Land Association, a few miles from Anaheim. The plants grew finely, and guve {promise of yielding a large crop; but before the’ balls had come to maturity, ultimately frosts dashed the hopes of the culti. vator, and the crop proveda failure. We incline to. the opinion that our nights are too cold to admit of cotton raising being pursued with profit. Tue Evrsxa Mine.—There was a rumor around town yesterday, says the Grass Valley Union, that the Eureka mine was doing well. Some said that its old status had been again established. We do not know how all this is, but from good authority we learn that gold valued at $19,000 was yesterday shipped from the Eureka, for two weeks run. The mill has of late been running with all of its thirty stamps. Every body here wants the Eureka to come out and our wish in that regard may be father to the thought. Certain it is, however, that $19,000 were shipped Tuesday for a two weeks’ run. A curious experiment was tried in Russia with some murderers. They were placed, without knowing it, in four beds where four persons had died of the cholera. They did not take the disease. They were then told that they were to sleep in beds where some persons had died of malignant cholera, but the beds were, in fact, new and had not been used at all. Nevertheless, three of them died of the disease within three hours. A SHootine affray occured at Hawkinsville, two miles north. of Yreka, on Saturday, between a company of Portugese miners and some Chinamen, which resulted in the killing of one Chinaman and the wounding of another. ~e ‘Henry Hopprz, a German laborer, died suddenly about six o’clock Saturday evening, in ‘San Francisco. . He was about thirty years ofage. A Mexican named Gillermo Avila, aged ‘fifty years, died at No. 522 i eemorsen street. take place after the procession. Capt.4 ' For Sargent. Nearly all the Republican papers of the State have expfessed a decided preference for Sargent for United States Senator, ‘and nearly all the people of the State are the same way, with the exception of the Federal office holders, and those who have been promised positions by Cole. It ‘is said that some of Cole’s friends, in order to make new converts, have promised a certain office in San Franciseo to four different individuals. That way of electioneering appears to be the only string Cole and his friends can play on, which is very dishonorable, to say the least. In a long article, giving reasons why Felton should not be elected Senator, the Bulletin says ‘‘plainly Republican members of the Legislature had better stick to the candidates who are most strong Dy reason of frank and hearty service to the party, long political and legislative experience and familiarity to the people.-If from these they choose the one who has most deserved praise by his energy and usefulness as a representative at Washington, and most commands confidence by his personal and official integrity, they will have no cause for regret hereafter, either ‘on account of the party or the State,” “lor, in other words, they should, byall means, elect Hon. A. A. Sargent to the United States Senate. Well said, Mr Bulletin. We have been convinced long ago, that for the best interests of the State and the party, Mr. Sargent should be elected, and in a few days the Republican caucus will so decide. The President’s Message. This document ‘was received Tuesday evening, and has been perused by the most of our readers who take an interest in public affairs. It isa terse, vigorous document, gives a resume-of the condition of the country, without entering into details, erally be approved by the people. We shall merely allude to a few prominent subjects discussed, without attempting to give a synopsis of the document.” The President reecemmends a reduction of the revenue, by a modification of the tariff and the abolishing of all internal taxes except the tax on spiritous and fermented liquors, tobacco in all its forms, and the stamp tax. Healso suggests to Corgress the propriety of passing a general amnesty act, but excluding from its provisions a few of the more prominent ex-rebels, if Congressshall deem itexpedient. The actionof the United States authorities in Utah, in prosecuting the polygamists, is approved. On the subject of the public lands, the President renews his former recommendation, that hereafter they be held for the benefit of settlers—that is, that they be sold only to pre-emption and homestead settlers, He would include in this the school lands, but have the proceeds of their sale devoted to educational purposes. Evening Post. We have received the first number of the Daily Evening Post, a new Democratic paper published in San Francisco. Itis just half the size of the TRANSCRIPT, and is delivered to subseribers at the low price of one cent, and change given by the newsboys. Pray tell us how you make the change? It is a very neat looking paper and spicy. The Bulletin, believing that it would soon grow to huge dimensions,and the Chronicle fearing the rival, both refused to publish an advertisement for the Post, whereat Harry George is handling these newspapers without the gloves. Goin Harry, you will make them sick or get very sick yourself. p><om> Ara recent meeting of the Milwaukie Relief Committee, Captain Langworthy stated that the examina tions of fhe burnt region have brought out the fact that not les than 1,200 persons met a firey death through that terrible catastrophe, a great majority of whom were blackened and disfigured beyond recognition, while others, even to their bones, were calcined to powder. An interesting and beautiful young lady in Virginia ‘City, being obliged to raise money, parted with her ‘‘dear diamonds”. to several gentlemen friends as security for loans. She left town with $3,500, and the diamonds are not genuine.: Tux St. Louis Mutual Life Insurauce Company has filed its authority to transact business under the laws of this State, and the recommendations will gen-} ee Brass Band. A few weeks ago somé of the worthy citizens of San Juan organized a brass band,‘composed mostly . hel of those who had been members of the old band, and the result is, as an informant of ours,says, that in the locality ‘where they generally t‘toot their horns’’ the rats have left and taken unto themselves new habitations, ‘‘with none to molest or make them afraid.’’ The old refrain that ‘“‘music hath charms to soothe 4 savage, rend a rock or burst a cabbage,”’ will not certainly apply to that institution. We hope, however, that a certain lawyer friend of ours, who is said to adorn (!) thisconclave of harmonious spirits, will not take offence and institute an action for slander against us for what we have said in relation to the band. Roads. A correspondent from the ridge writes as follows: The road leading from San Juan to Sebastopol remains in a most miserable condition. It is the worst piece of read by far of any ‘jn the couuty. It is to be hoped that our worthy Road Commissioner will compel his contractors to fix the roads so as to make them decently passable at all events. “There is something radically wrong in the working of the new road law, and it should be amended in such a manner as to compel contractors. to give bonds for fulfilment of contract. As it is now some fellow takes a contract for a mere song, lets the road go to the d—i, arid yét we, the poor peopie must pay a tax, no matter how the roads are. “= County Board of Examinatisn. Thirteen applicants for certificates have presented themselves before the Board for examination— eleven ladies and two gentlemen. Some changes in the method of examination are recommended by the State Board of Education and are being practiced by our County Board. The most importantis, examinations are partly conducted orally, a change we think highly commendable. There is a full board present, consisting of T. B. White, County Superintendent, Frank Power, Joseph Leggett and B. J. Watson. ‘The Board will close its session on Friday. oe oo Roll of Honor. . The following names of pupils have been placed on the roll of-honor in the North San Juan Grammar school, for the month ending December Ist, George E. Robinson teacher: Sarah J.

M. till 12M. and from 2to4 P.M. each day, until Wednesday, Dec. 27th, for the purpose of receiving the same. Taxes not paid on or before the 27th will become delinquent. alle The Episcepal Party. The party given by the ladies of the Episcopal Church, on Tuesday evening last, was a grand success. The Hall was well filled with the dancing portion of the community, the music was good, everything passed off satisfactorily, and the best of all, the profits were large. Annual Meeting.

From a consultation of our fies fora year past, we foot up the dividends made by the Idaho at $232,500. That is agrand result to be turned out'by a fifteenstamp mill. The stock of the Idaho is,not on the Board at San Francisco, and it has therefore been generally omitted from the lists of dividend paying mines which the papers there have published.

Evening Post. We have received the first number of the Daily Evening Post, a new Democratic paper published in San Francisco. Itis just half the size of the TRANSCRIPT, and is delivered to subseribers at the low price of one cent, and change given by the newsboys. Pray tell us how you make the change? It is a very neat looking paper and spicy. The Bulletin, believing that it would soon grow to huge dimensions,and the Chronicle fearing the rival, both refused to publish an advertisement for the Post, whereat Harry George is handling these newspapers without the gloves. Goin Harry, you will make them sick or get very sick yourself. p><om> Ara recent meeting of the Milwaukie Relief Committee, Captain Langworthy stated that the examina tions of fhe burnt region have brought out the fact that not les than 1,200 persons met a firey death through that terrible catastrophe, a great majority of whom were blackened and disfigured beyond recognition, while others, even to their bones, were calcined to powder. An interesting and beautiful young lady in Virginia ‘City, being obliged to raise money, parted with her ‘‘dear diamonds”. to several gentlemen friends as security for loans. She left town with $3,500, and the diamonds are not genuine.: Tux St. Louis Mutual Life Insurauce Company has filed its authority to transact business under the laws of this State, and the recommendations will gen-} ee Brass Band. A few weeks ago somé of the worthy citizens of San Juan organized a brass band,‘composed mostly . hel of those who had been members of the old band, and the result is, as an informant of ours,says, that in the locality ‘where they generally t‘toot their horns’’ the rats have left and taken unto themselves new habitations, ‘‘with none to molest or make them afraid.’’ The old refrain that ‘“‘music hath charms to soothe 4 savage, rend a rock or burst a cabbage,”’ will not certainly apply to that institution. We hope, however, that a certain lawyer friend of ours, who is said to adorn (!) thisconclave of harmonious spirits, will not take offence and institute an action for slander against us for what we have said in relation to the band. Roads. A correspondent from the ridge writes as follows: The road leading from San Juan to Sebastopol remains in a most miserable condition. It is the worst piece of read by far of any ‘jn the couuty. It is to be hoped that our worthy Road Commissioner will compel his contractors to fix the roads so as to make them decently passable at all events. “There is something radically wrong in the working of the new road law, and it should be amended in such a manner as to compel contractors. to give bonds for fulfilment of contract. As it is now some fellow takes a contract for a mere song, lets the road go to the d—i, arid yét we, the poor peopie must pay a tax, no matter how the roads are. “= County Board of Examinatisn. Thirteen applicants for certificates have presented themselves before the Board for examination— eleven ladies and two gentlemen. Some changes in the method of examination are recommended by the State Board of Education and are being practiced by our County Board. The most importantis, examinations are partly conducted orally, a change we think highly commendable. There is a full board present, consisting of T. B. White, County Superintendent, Frank Power, Joseph Leggett and B. J. Watson. ‘The Board will close its session on Friday. oe oo Roll of Honor. .
