The taal, 6{ citizens, without great-concern. aheir efforts. Transcript, CARBFORNI AG THURSDAY. JULY 15, 1869. <— oo — FT 7 = —_To’ Working Menx—No one can watch the persistent atteinpts of demaray the Jaborers again&t -other classes Inthe gemeral acceptation of the term the large majority of the people of the United States are laborers, but in a restricted sénse those only engaged in ‘work by the day are classified as the laborers of the county, and it: is to this class that demagogues have directed A large ‘class of these ea of ana genee, who cannot. be but many men to belong to that an attempt ispress them. These ap made to‘opto prejawith appeals of laboring men to p tect themselves against the “bloated _ bondholders, and the Republican party policy. This comes with an ill grace from a party ruled by a Belmont, and whose whole history has been repeated~ ly marked by efforts to degrade labor. Many can new remember when “free Jaborers” weré denounced on the floor of hy Democratic Jeaders as ‘“mudsills of society,” and placed in the sume catagory with the slaves of the South, who performed their labors under the lash of the overseer. For years leading Demoefats persisted im protect~ ing a system!of labor in the South that shut out enterprising white labor, and at last these very leaders took up arms to establish a nation, the cornerstone of which should be slayery, thus degrading labor and perpetuating its degradation by enslaving it. But these California Democrats are appealing to laborers to protect themselves against Chinese labor and Chinese equality,and while they are doing this, Demiocratic Conventions beyond the mountains are demanding Chinese laborers’as the only means of bringing back wealth to the South. Long ago an attempt was made by a leading Democrat to pass a law having for its object the establish~ ment of a system,;—wheroby thousands of Chinese might be bought for a term of years and brought into the State, ‘yet these men. now “profess. to be the’ special champions of the laloring men, _ and many laborers aye willing to aceept them as such. Their professions are . hollow pretences and shallow attempts . at deceit. The Republicans of the coun~ try are the true friends of the laborer, and have always been the champions of freedom. Under a free government labor can protect itself by its own innerent power. Let the mind take in the vast extent of territory North,South, East and West, under the government of the United States, compare the progress of the North and West with the progress of the South and note the difference. I+ will be found in the fact that in one section labor has been free and in the other enslaved. The Republican party has made it free every where in the land and the laborer wants no demagogue to shield him. Labor isa power in this nation “and can protect itself without the imposition of those who have always favored its deg~ redation, Let not laboring men be deceived i into a clanish warfare against any other class, butenter the political field as all American citizens, determined to support thht policy ‘best calculated to advance: the peace, prosperity and anity of the entire nation, advocating a free government as the very best protection tor labor and Jaboring men. Tae construction ofa ship canal from New Orleans to Lake Pontchartrain, it is assured, would diminish the pert. charges in pilotage and towage. alone, by the g: ot 81,800 om a. Fessel of 1,000 tong burden. “At present it costs $2,525 to b a vessel. of that size from the mouth of the Missi z New Orleaus. The charges to'b veasel of 1,000 tons from the cccan to 1e wharves amount to $370. at Boston . and $676 at New York.“A Nice County.—At the recent . primary election i im one of the outside. precincts, the Democracy; thin a ‘Beneral’ ‘election, mustered al! forces aud came down to vote.

Court adjourned to aed 24th at 10 o'clock. INNOCENCE.—Just before the late tepublica. election the Nevada TRANSCRIPT -argued—with mightand main because Nevada City had s0 many caudidates the place would have few nominees. The TRANSCRIPT theorised well and madé many people. believe that it was quite right.. The election, however, showed that Nevada City Republicans centered on their qwn residents asa rule,and cdred little for outside precincts, and way stations. Our neighs _boy of the TRANSCRIPT, of course, could not know that this would be the case, and he is innocent in the matter ; but the Republicans down here say “no more Crawford for them.”—G. V. Union. The resalt was just as we predicted. The yote was divided on the candidates and if the Nevada vote was not count» ed there “would only be « change of two names onthe entire ticket. The people of the outside places nominated Nevada men. We neversaid that Neva. da would get few nomineés,.but we did say outsiders had a_ better making a ticket than ever befor with two exceptions they made it. A VEKY useful article, called the Endless Match, has made its appearance in San Franciseo, and is attracting considerable attention. It consists of a neat tin tube, about three inches in length and a Jittle less than a quarter of an inch in diameter. In this is placed a match, which is run out of the open end of, the tube, by means of. slot, about one-eighth of an inch, when it is desired to light it. By a gentle friction it is ignited the same as any other match, and will continue to burn by pushing it out slowly. By pulling the match back, or covering the open end of the case with the cap used to protect it while being carried in the pocket it is easily extinguished. ‘Torelight it, it needs but a gentle friction as before . and so on until the efitire match is consumed, One of the great advanteges of the new invention is, that the match can not be blown out, and it. can be lit after being immersed in water. Tux Silver City (1. T.) Tidal Ware, of July 9,says that one man was killed . .and another very badly if not fatally wounded at that place on the Fourth. It appears that a man named Pete Han-~ son and another whose name we have not heard, were “on a run” and went into a saloon to drink. The man said to Hanson, “You whipped me a year ago to-day.” Hanson said “Yes, but in self defence.” “All right,” said the other, “stay here a fow minutes,’ which Hanson did, and'his companion returned with a six shooter, saying, “Now . have the advantage of,you,” and fired, killing Hanson immediately. Another man rushed in to interfere and received {a shot in the side by thesame pistol. A LARGE lode of magnetic iron, or lodestone, exists in Cope District, which by its attraction draws upon it the lightnings of every thunder storm. The surface of the ledge lies in waves of solidified slag, blackened and glazed like the cinders of a blacksmith's forge, doubtless from the effects of lightning, which for ages has made thiftepot its target.

In connection with Pal Fauque’s circus, the “Female Blondin” had been announced for an outdoor performanee. She was to walk along a rope fixed from the third) story of “the Old Coronation Mills to the tep-of-the -eiveus,; the-height-of she—rope—_being + about 60 feet, and the distance about 80 feet. “About halfspast 7o’clock the
“Female Biondin;” entered the Coronation Mills, which are being pulled down, and ascended the rope. She sauntered aléng it for a few feet with a light and easy step, but at about 15 feet from where she started there wasa large ugly knot on the rope several inchestong. She essayed to cross it, and then turned back. In a moment, however, she re sumed her perilous journey, amid the breathless anxiety ef thousands who stood 60 feet beneath her. She approached the knot cautiously, crossed it, but just as her. foot was leaving ik, shestumbled. At once she threw her pole tothe crowd below, and with a desperate effort she grasped the rope. She is a strong, muscular woman, exerted herself to régain a position ‘on the rope, but hung suspended by the hands. The wildest excitement prevailed among the spectators. There were loud eries of “Lower the rope,’ which was done, but only a few feet. With'more speed than it,can be told, a large number of men massed themselves together at the place over which she hung by the rope, and begged.her to let go and fall. She did .so, and was caught by them, and although thé distance she fell was almost fifty feet, she sustained no injury beyond the fright and a shake. TRE Petersburg (Va) Express, having been reproved by an exchange for, being mulish in political matters, replies: “The faet is, when our own notions are opposed, we are all pretty much like during the war, laying it on vigorously with his whip and exclaiming to his team, ‘D—n you, I’m some mule, too.’’ A GANG of Efglish pickpockets made aclean sweep among the fashionables at the Paris races.
