$ Daily Transcript NEVADA CITY, CAL. a A GuiEaM or Horz.—The following is from the Reporter the State Democratic paper of the 21st: After all, Friday, June 23, 1871, aa eeaeasanenecnanaanaamsianmeanie How are you Haight? The opponents of Haight had hopes of winning up to Wednesday morning, as will be seen by anarticle published in the Sacramento Reporter, the State Democratic paper, on the morning cf the 21st, the day Haight was nominated. We republish the article elsewhere and call the attention of those Democrats who think all is harmonious in the party to the sentiments of the delegates and other Democrats, as given in the article. In the same issue the Reporter says: It may be set down as a fixed fact that, with Governor Haight at the head of the ticket, it will be beat several thousand votes in San Francisco, and we will lose twelve Assemblymen and (with San Mateo) three Senators. Almost before the ink had dried upon the paper which contained the -prediction, Governor Haight was at the head of the ticket, notwithstand_ing the disgust of the many leading Democrats and the county delegates, who were bound by instructions to support him against their own convictions. We have no donbt these were honest warnings of the Reporter, but they were unheeded by the leaders, and Haight was forced upon. the . . party. ‘The same feeling of disgust preyails.among the Democrats of. this county, and many of the old gaurd declare that they will never support Haight for Governor of the State. In due time matters of record will be brought forward and placed in the scale against the Governor, and those —who héve nominated him in hopes of his getting Republican votes will be deceived. No member of the Republican party can support Haight as against such a man as Newton Booth for Governor. _ _ Smoothing Down. ae The Examiner, after having denounced all who opposed Haight as the “‘touls of the subsidites,” having succeeded in forcing its favorite upon _the party by such means as were reserted to by Mandeville in the State ‘Convention, now comes out and attempts to quiet the storm it has 1aised. In the course of an article ‘“‘soft-soaping’’ those that have been abused, the paper says : We repeat it, let not a single man in our party feel that we are safe until the ballots are counted. The Examiner is evidently frightened at the storm it has raised and having got its man is endeavoring to bring those whom it has abused into Ine. While these oily words are beig spoken, the Haight slate is being put through by the Convention withouta break in jthe line, and correspondents writing from Sacramento declare that none but the followers of Haight can be made nominees in the Democratic Convention. Stand Firm. Even after the Democratic primaries, run by employes on the Governor’s mansion, and ward politicians of San Francisco, had secured Haight the Convention at Sacramento, his Excellency came near losing the nomination, Findley, whose popularity increased as the convention progressed, could control over one hundred votes, and the Haightites were losing. In the preliminary fight the Haightites lost several important points, such as the manner of appointing committees,etc. Mandeville, Haight's champion, came to the rescue and culled upon his clan to stand firm as one man, and put their feet upon ' the measures concocted to beat him. From the proceedings it is eviden; that the Haightites had a “‘big scare,”’ and every hour the vote was postponed Haight was losing ground. Mandeville’s clan however stood firm and as a consequence Haight was néminated. A NEw musical instrument has been exhibited in Edinburgh. It is described as a keyed instrument, having six octaves, and resembling a harmonium in general form but very different in mechanism.* The sounds are produced by the friction of wooden hammers against a revolving cylinder of wood set in motion by the feet. The tones. produced: are said to, be very sweet and wonderfully varied. o Killed by Lightning. John Williams, .a teamster who has been engaged in freighting to this town from Colfax, was instantly ki night. . thing depends. there is # gleam of hope for thie bh party in this State. -'The prospect is brightening—God grant that it may not be marred before night. The procéedings of the State Convention yesterday encourage the hope that the nominee for Governor will be one who will get the support of the entire party. This much is certain, the office-holders and one-man Democrats signally failed in carrying out their hasty programme yesterday.— The Democrats who solemnly declare they will not vote for Gov. Haight, if nominated, will give a cordial support ta the ticket if any other good man is placed at its head. It seems to.us a waste of time now toeven refer to Governor Haight’s record. The great question is, is any r table portion of the party against him, and will that minority, in the event of his nomination, refuse to support him? Even if the great majority really believe their candidate is the purest Democrat and the best man in the State, still if he cannot secure the support of the whole party ata time when it is absolutely neccessary to avoid a schism, all thought of his nomination should be dismissed: We understand that many delegates from distant counties have been astounded at the powerful opposition to Governer Haight’s nomination. They had been assured that this opposition was made up of men who were utterly insignificant both in character and numbers. They find. they have been deceived. They.see gatheréd together at the Capital of the State trusted leaders and old time Democrats from nearly every county, . who openly declare that they will not vote for Governor Haight. They rea-. lize the fact that this opposition is not to be déspised. They know that if this opposition is not conciliated we might-as well surrender to the enemy before the campaign opens. The minority does not demand the nomination of any particular man, but simply asks that some other man than Governor Haight be placed at the head of the ticket. Principles, and not men, gentlemen of the Convention! Let the majority declare the principles and make the platform. It will be a queer platform if Governer Haight is the only man in the State who can stand on it. There are a dozen men any one of whom the whole party would support with enthusiasm. . An available candidate can be found in Sonoma, at least two in Sacramento, at least two in Santa Clara, three or four in San Franciseo,; three or four in either parts of the State. ‘Can we not have one of these when everynit? The Sonoma werat. Mendocino Democrat, Sierra Age, San Joaquin Argus, and other Democratic papers, go a great deal further on this subject than wedo. Some of these journals are very bitter against Gov. Haight, and will not support him if nominated. There are several hundred Demoerats in Sacramento from different parts of the State, watching the proceedings of the Convention, who will also withhold their support if he receives the nomination. We can see no hope for the success of the ticket with Governor Haight at the head of it. By all means, gentleman of the Convention, give us some other man. Since Haight declared himself a candidate for re-election, they have been spreading throughout the State the most villainous lies touching his past acts and record.— Examiner. The above is in reference to the course of Republicans towards Gov. Haight. The Examiner man probably has’nt been around lately. The most damaging charges against,i pet have come through the medium of the Democratic press. The ‘‘seven reasons’’ written by Botts, a leading Democrat, appeared in the State organ appointed by himself and supported by a forced contribution from the people, under a most infamous law passed by a Democratic Legislature and signed by Haight. Don’t say the Radicals have exposed the infamy of Haight. The charges and the proofs have come from such men as Botts, McConnell, and others who have done more hard service for the Democracy than the Examiner or its favorite Haight ever did. ee Jaw Bone or 4 Mastopon.—We were shown last evening by Mr, Moulton, Superintendent of the Copperopolis Railroad, says the Stockton Independent, several large teeth and part of a jaw bone of some large animal which probably roamed through the valley when the Big Trees were little saplings. These relics were dug up at Peters by the workmen who were loading gravel on the cars. They were found in a layer of sand fifteen feet below the surface of the ground. One of the teeth shown us was between three and four inches long.__Others -were nearly an inch anda half square on the face. The portion of jaw bone when found was about two feet long. It is thought the workmen may yet find additional portions, of the skeleton of the ‘‘crittery'" from which his size and charmioes if acter may bathed be more definitely detexTue Parts Honrors—More THan THREE ibRED WoMEN and Cut1pREN Kittep,—The New York World siomoccurred at Parig,May 18,at 5:30 P.M. I, who am a mile from the scene of the disaster, thought I was a dead man. I havea powder magazine about one hundred and fifty yards from me. Yesterday morhitig there were thirty-five or forty railway vans discharging shells into it. When I heard the series of explosions I made sure it was the above-mentioned magazine which had blown up, for the reports were dedfening-—the house shivered, the windows rattled, every woman was shrieking, children sobbing, National Guards were running wildly about crying, ‘‘To arms! to arms!’ I looked around me to see which wall would fall first. Finding it remain firm on its foundation, I went to the witidow to find the street filled with a terrified crowd, but nobody could discover the source of the detonation, until a man cried, “Do look there!’ An extraordinary sight presented itself, A ball six.or seven times as large as the Federal Capital floated in midair. It was smoke, but so black and so dense that the rays of the setting sun were distinctly visible as pencils of light protruding on every side beyond it, like the solar spectrum seen inadark room when beams penetrate some shutter’s crevice. The huge ball floated motionless, and gave no sign of merging into air. Presently volumes of thinner smoke curled fitfully upward, and now and then forked tongues of flame ran nervously from the bottom to the top. ‘“‘The Hotel des Invalides has been blown up’’ was the general cry. Down towards it an inundation of hue man beings poured in constantly gathering floods, which checked even . the broad outer boulevards. Windows had lost all their glass, and dinner tables had been overturned and their china vessels shattered. But ‘twas not the Invalides; it was the extensive cartridge manufactory on the Champ de Mars which had exploded. When the catastrophe occurred the sirveis were full. of people returning home to dinner. They thought that a. battery of mitraillenses was planted at the street corner, and was throwing volleys down it. Every person fell flat on the ground. As one drew near the Champ de Mars the sight bafiled description. Arms, legs, hands, heads, some of them still quivering with vestiges of life, the majority of them blackened with powder and with fire, were to be found every ten paces one made down the street. There was not a whole window anywhere to be seen. Cartridges, or balls, or cartridge papers, were strewn broadcast. I picked up a chassepot ball, melted and flattened to the length of four inches. Three hundred yards from the scene ofexplosion, the naked trunk of a woman was found; head and limbs had been torn off. The number of victims has not yet been ascertained. Three hundred women were killed Five hundred women were employed in the manufactory; but two hundred leave work at 4:20 Pp. wm. each day. It is believed the building contained three hundred women when the explotion took place. These all perished, and they are not the only victims. A model lodging house, called Cite tits: Napoleon, has been so much damaged that its fall is hourly expected. A great many of its tenants were killed. All the wounded soldiers in the ambulance of Rue de la University were killed. A woman standing ata window had one arm pulled out of its socket, and she died instantly from the nervous shock and terror, One woman leaped from her window and was killed. In the same house an infant was rent to pieces in its cradle. Avenue de Ia Bourdo e has hardly a house standing. ouses four stories high are a mass of rubbish.— For some time after the explosion the neighborhood witnessed maddening scenes. Panic stricken horses galloped wildly in every direction.— Women ran to and fro shrieking hysterically; children screamed for their pens people frantically threw out of the window everything they could lay hands on. But fof the prompt arrival of the firemen the disasters would have been still greater, for there were a thousand barrels of powder in neighboring magazines, and the fire was rapidly spreading.— All the sheds on the eastern side of the Champ de Mars were in flames. The powder was stored in cellars under them, Several hundred vehicles of every description—omnibuses,' ambulance wagons, hacks, railway wagons—were soon on the spot carrying away the victims. Some ofthese vehicles had eight, none had Jess than two, corpses or wounded persons. CLEAvVELAND, Ohio, is fast run ning ahead of all other cities in the country in the business of refining petroleum.

Some of these journals are very bitter against Gov. Haight, and will not support him if nominated. There are several hundred Demoerats in Sacramento from different parts of the State, watching the proceedings of the Convention, who will also withhold their support if he receives the nomination. We can see no hope for the success of the ticket with Governor Haight at the head of it. By all means, gentleman of the Convention, give us some other man. Since Haight declared himself a candidate for re-election, they have been spreading throughout the State the most villainous lies touching his past acts and record.— Examiner. The above is in reference to the course of Republicans towards Gov. Haight. The Examiner man probably has’nt been around lately. The most damaging charges against,i pet have come through the medium of the Democratic press. The ‘‘seven reasons’’ written by Botts, a leading Democrat, appeared in the State organ appointed by himself and supported by a forced contribution from the people, under a most infamous law passed by a Democratic Legislature and signed by Haight. Don’t say the Radicals have exposed the infamy of Haight. The charges and the proofs have come from such men as Botts, McConnell, and others who have done more hard service for the Democracy than the Examiner or its favorite Haight ever did. ee Jaw Bone or 4 Mastopon.—We were shown last evening by Mr, Moulton, Superintendent of the Copperopolis Railroad, says the Stockton Independent, several large teeth and part of a jaw bone of some large animal which probably roamed through the valley when the Big Trees were little saplings. These relics were dug up at Peters by the workmen who were loading gravel on the cars. They were found in a layer of sand fifteen feet below the surface of the ground. One of the teeth shown us was between three and four inches long.__Others -were nearly an inch anda half square on the face. The portion of jaw bone when found was about two feet long. It is thought the workmen may yet find additional portions, of the skeleton of the ‘‘crittery'" from which his size and charmioes if acter may bathed be more definitely detexTue Parts Honrors—More THan THREE ibRED WoMEN and Cut1pREN Kittep,—The New York World siomoccurred at Parig,May 18,at 5:30 P.M. I, who am a mile from the scene of the disaster, thought I was a dead man. I havea powder magazine about one hundred and fifty yards from me. Yesterday morhitig there were thirty-five or forty railway vans discharging shells into it. When I heard the series of explosions I made sure it was the above-mentioned magazine which had blown up, for the reports were dedfening-—the house shivered, the windows rattled, every woman was shrieking, children sobbing, National Guards were running wildly about crying, ‘‘To arms! to arms!’ I looked around me to see which wall would fall first. Finding it remain firm on its foundation, I went to the witidow to find the street filled with a terrified crowd, but nobody could discover the source of the detonation, until a man cried, “Do look there!’ An extraordinary sight presented itself, A ball six.or seven times as large as the Federal Capital floated in midair. It was smoke, but so black and so dense that the rays of the setting sun were distinctly visible as pencils of light protruding on every side beyond it, like the solar spectrum seen inadark room when beams penetrate some shutter’s crevice. The huge ball floated motionless, and gave no sign of merging into air. Presently volumes of thinner smoke curled fitfully upward, and now and then forked tongues of flame ran nervously from the bottom to the top. ‘“‘The Hotel des Invalides has been blown up’’ was the general cry. Down towards it an inundation of hue man beings poured in constantly gathering floods, which checked even . the broad outer boulevards. Windows had lost all their glass, and dinner tables had been overturned and their china vessels shattered. But ‘twas not the Invalides; it was the extensive cartridge manufactory on the Champ de Mars which had exploded. When the catastrophe occurred the sirveis were full. of people returning home to dinner. They thought that a. battery of mitraillenses was planted at the street corner, and was throwing volleys down it. Every person fell flat on the ground. As one drew near the Champ de Mars the sight bafiled description. Arms, legs, hands, heads, some of them still quivering with vestiges of life, the majority of them blackened with powder and with fire, were to be found every ten paces one made down the street. There was not a whole window anywhere to be seen. Cartridges, or balls, or cartridge papers, were strewn broadcast. I picked up a chassepot ball, melted and flattened to the length of four inches. Three hundred yards from the scene ofexplosion, the naked trunk of a woman was found; head and limbs had been torn off. The number of victims has not yet been ascertained. Three hundred women were killed Five hundred women were employed in the manufactory; but two hundred leave work at 4:20 Pp. wm. each day. It is believed the building contained three hundred women when the explotion took place. These all perished, and they are not the only victims. A model lodging house, called Cite tits: Napoleon, has been so much damaged that its fall is hourly expected. A great many of its tenants were killed. All the wounded soldiers in the ambulance of Rue de la University were killed. A woman standing ata window had one arm pulled out of its socket, and she died instantly from the nervous shock and terror, One woman leaped from her window and was killed. In the same house an infant was rent to pieces in its cradle. Avenue de Ia Bourdo e has hardly a house standing. ouses four stories high are a mass of rubbish.— For some time after the explosion the neighborhood witnessed maddening scenes. Panic stricken horses galloped wildly in every direction.— Women ran to and fro shrieking hysterically; children screamed for their pens people frantically threw out of the window everything they could lay hands on. But fof the prompt arrival of the firemen the disasters would have been still greater, for there were a thousand barrels of powder in neighboring magazines, and the fire was rapidly spreading.— All the sheds on the eastern side of the Champ de Mars were in flames. The powder was stored in cellars under them, Several hundred vehicles of every description—omnibuses,' ambulance wagons, hacks, railway wagons—were soon on the spot carrying away the victims. Some ofthese vehicles had eight, none had Jess than two, corpses or wounded persons.
