Sea sy fied eee ee me SATURDAY, SAN. 25th, 1868. Rumors oF Cornuprion.—Rumors are rife of great--corruption in-the late , Senatorial contest. One statement is that the several candidates, with their friends, made use of over $1,000,000 to ~-tnfluenee the choice.. We do not know, that any of these charges are made ‘against Casserly, but it is certain that ~-& pamphlet was published by Volney E. Howard, one of the contestants for the Senatorial toga, in which he charged his fellow Democrats with all manner of corruption. This record by one who was onthe inside, was for some cause “not yet explained, suppressed, and it is stated that only a few copies ate-in existence: We should like to obtain one, but as the welfare of De~~ mmocracy demands that the dark record should be hid, we have little hope.— We trust, however, that the Legislature may succeed in bringing to light some of the scenes enacted behind the curtain, that the people. may know how adept the Democracy are at their old ~ re ture adopt some stringent measure against thiscorruption? In the State of New York, and especially in the mete 0 teieeny bes pet practiced than any where in the coun"try; and of late several measures have been suggested to prevent the evil— The plan which has received most favor is to inflict-a fine and to imprison these yeas, provided it is not accepted. _ Ifthe bribe is accepted he is exempt from punishment, but the receiver of ~ the bribe is to be punished to the same extent. This will place one or the othBL er in a position always where he may on the guilty without personal tisk. It is well known that money is largely used in the political contests in this State, and if the Legislature will to put an end to such practices it will bea great good to the State. Men of merit may then become candidates for offices, though they do not have large corporations to back them, andthe State wil] be able to se cure much better officers. east Vistrine Prrsician.—We learn that Dr. Overton, formerly of this city, has been nominated by the Democratio caucus Visiting ExSvicien to the Stockhad charge of the County Hospital in this county and served one term as ~ Superintendent of Schools. We understand that the position secured by him is worth $3,000:per year.

Lord Hobart has written two able letters to the Times sustaining the “position taken by the American Government. The editor of the Zimes replies ~ im terms moderate and conciliatory. SHED CrusHED.—The lumber shed on Auburn street known as Runnels’ shed, was crushed yesterday morning, says the Union, by the weight of snow upon it. The loss is light, as the lumber is not hurt by by. being covered up. Pitishs ehool Baines cleared . about four hundred and fifty dollars, which will almost furnish the High School building. So says the Grass Valley Union. MILWAUKEE is at tlength to have pub, lie water works at a cost of about one million dollars. Over sixty miles of ~maine will be required to supply the a most ex Yield of corn—two nscale ' hatidred Doshels and twelve quarts Fea ahs at has been appointed Assistant Clerk of the AssemGhinvenavias Mrnk.---On. the 17th } nual election for Trustées, Trustées, at the Anthony House, says thé Grass ‘Valley Union, with the following result : 8: W. Piper, Robert Gunson, 4. F. Connelly, Peter Tydd and M. J.Crawford. The} Trustees organized their board by electing M. J. Crawford, President; Peter Tydd, Treasurer; T. F. Connelly, Secretary. The election was an animated Smartsville and the Pleasant Valley shareholders—Pleasant Valley winning. The mine is looking well, and work: is being pushed forward, ‘night and day. We understand that measures are about Lie meee stock of the company. WE learn from the Union thatthe heavy quartz men of Grass Valley are talking of constructing a branch rail read from Colfax to that place, and in that event they will endeavor to get the County Seat removed. We apprehend that they stand about as much chance of getting the railroad as they. do the County Seat. Gites’ Quartz Emory Paste.—The [inventor of this important adjunct to yall ‘sharpening implements, says the National, has exhibited to us a specimen of the above paste, and we can vouch for its effect upon-a monstrous dull . knife._It ia a paste.made. from: quartz: tailings and we are informed is fast taking the place of emory, for the various objects the latter is used for,and can piece of pine shingle to the finest piece of sole leather. Lea BRoKEN.—We learn from the Grass Valley National that C. E: Miller, whilst engaged in clearing snow off the roof of his building, on Thursday, slipped and fell to the ground,sustaining a fracture of his right leg. A Porc CORRESPONDENT —We are not in the habit of advertising letters gratis, but the following superscription entities this letter to a free notice: In India, there are now laboring 25 Protestant Missionary Societies. Of these, three are organized in Scotland, eight in England, one in Ireland, four on the continent of Europe, and nine in America. These societies maintain about 550 missionaries, and expend ‘annually in thatcountry about $1,250,000. Some WEATHER.—A Vermont paper says that the weather there, just now, is freeze, sneeze, thaw, rain, mud and a gale—da capo, fur cap-o, umbrellas, overshoes, great coats, sore throats, ‘toothaches, rheumatic bodies, toddies, ete., ete. A great time for doctors. These remarks, with considerable addition, will apply to the present season in California.. We can discount Vermont on rain, mud and thaw, but the Green ee A orraeh Wy Lack eee +Mountain Boys-can“freeze-us out*-and . ) ee on APPOINTED.—The Grass Valley Union says: Mr. P.
