. s . ‘. oS ae will say that Fam_ tainly be robbery in the other. The Daily Granseript NEVADA CITY, CAL. Tuebday, June 27, 1871. Booth’s Opponent. Mayor Selby, of San Francisco, has ‘within a few days publicly announced himself as a candidate for the nomination for Governor. In his speech to a large stumber of Germans of San Francisco, who serenaded him on Friday night, he saith! It is know to you, getitlemen, that fora longtime my nante has been mentioned in connection with gubernational honors; yet I never sought the position, never announce: ed myself as a candidate for it, until within a few days, and then only at the earnest solicitation of many of my fellow citizens. I have no desire to enter into political life. I fully appreciate the honor attaching to ns of public trust, but lam also aware of the duties connected with those offices, and the sacrifice of time they require if the duties are to be performed faithfully, But it is nevertheiess consistent with the duty of every good citizen to accept office, when necessity requires it, and when offered for the advancement of the public good by his fellow citizens. Tsdeni thete can be but little hope for the country and its prosperity if citizens refuse to take their share of the responsibility. This i¢a manly atd frank avowal of his motives in allowing his name to be tied in connection with the Governorship, and he makes in the Same speech a clear and explicit. daclaration of his principles on. the main issue and his theory in regard to legislation. On this subject he bays: This is not the place to make remarks relating to, or to dwell upon the policy that should be pursued in the government of the State, but I bubsidies to railroads. The government should be based upon good business principles—honesty in legislative government and in the affairs of public offices is as necessary as honesty in the workshop and in the vounting house. There is no reason why the affairs of government should not be so coihected; What would be robbery in the one case must as cerActs have been passed by tie Legislature when no necessity existed for them, Many of them are mischievous, and have robbed the people. We have good evidences of this on both sides uf us now.

It is not caused by want of enterprise, by a want of perseverance, or by an absence of ample field. for industrial pursuits; but is caused by bad legislation, which has damped the ardor and spirit of enterprise of our people. Ht is & matter of congratulation for the firmest friends of Newton Buoth that he is to meet such an opponent as Selby in the contest, for although they may and should make use of every honorable means to secure the nomination of Booth, they have the assurance thit if he is not sclected his more successful competitor will’ be worthy the support of the party, the confidence of the people, and will fill with honor the trust reposed in him, Newton Booth is without doubt the preference of the people in the northern portion of the State, and he will in all probability be thé nominee. Nevada county is united for him, and the delegations selected will use every effort to place him at the head of the ticket. Booth isa iman of fixed principles, sterling integrity and exalted ability. The people of both parties have the utmost confidence in him, and we believe he will be the nominee. He is our choice, but should he chance to be defeated, not even the niost earnest friends of Selby in the State will support him more cordially than we: Never, in the history of any State bas a canvass been made between maore worthy men, and however strong may be the personal preferences as between the men, in any event the Convention cannot go far wrong in the selection of a candidate for Governor, Tuxnx is one sensible Yankee gir! in London, She was the Champion skater last Winter.

A jocky, training a young horse, which ran well on the first quarter, and then ‘‘bolted’’ the track, was asked by the soldiers the name of the nag. ‘‘He's got no name” said the rider, “but he runs so little on the track and bolts so much, he ought to be named Governor Haight.’’ The soldier boys who wet'e on exhibition at the cattle groutids, in consequence of the Governor’s last ‘‘bolt’’ en: joyed the-joke hugely and it was the ‘big laugh”’ of the camp. The march of the soldiers towards Amador, by order of the Governor, is only equaled by the march of the ‘Mackerel Brigade.’’ It will be remembered the Governor called out the troops with all haste to repair to Amador county to quell the insurrection by the leaguers, The troops reached Sacramento, transportation ‘wagons, camp equipage and a train of cars were in readiness to carry them to the seat of war, and it was heralded through the State that the army .would be in the field in six } hours, with ample reinforcements at hand. Then the Governor “bolted.” He dreamed on it. and came to the conclusion that’ Amador. miners had votes, and it was then that “Grim visaged war smoothed his wrinkled {front.” and the Governor's courage oozed out his finger ends. The marching orders were countermanded, and the soldiers who had been taken from their business and families, under the idea that they were to ‘‘stand in the battle foremost,’’ were corralled like a flock of sheepin the Agricultural Park ‘at Sacramento, to “growl and sweat,’”’ when the thermometer ®stood at 90 degrees in the shade. What was the reason? Why, Governor Haight had ‘‘bolted”’ the track, gone back on his war policy and deterniined to start “to Amador in person with a “white flag.’’ He snidt i Reports of the trouble and the contemplated movement of the troops had been circulated in. Amador, and the Sheriff of that county called on me at Sacramento, and we helda consultation onthe matter. He assured me that noe cause for military interference existed, and that no se= rious trouble was anticipated, If this be true, why was it that the Governor ordered out the military at all? Is it possible that he did so on mere rumors, and that the interview spoken of in the extract is the first he had with the Sheriff, the peace officer of the county? Really this shows Governor Haight in a most tidiculous light. Men are taken from their homes and business, steamers and trains chartered for transportation, enormous expense is incurred, and war and bloodshed threatened, and after all this is done, the Governor says ‘‘no ¢ause for military interference existed, and no serious trouble was anticipated.”’ This last escapade of Haight’s is the most ridiculous and unpardonable of his whole administration. ps Sucar Cang in Santa Barpara.— The Press says there are some 200 hills of Sandwich Island sugar cane now growing upon the farm of Captain Mayhew near that town. The hills are already as large around as a bushel basket, each hill containing from 30 to 50 canes, and about two feet high. The hills being overcrowded, the surplus canes are being taken up and transplanted. This cane is of a highland variety, and seems to grow with surprising vigor, as though it had found a congenial soil and climate. They are expected to make a growth of four or five feet this season. ‘If the plants do well they will be employed to stock a large field.

How He Gains. Democratic papers state that Coffroth has gained on his ppponent in the Second District every time he ran. The last time he ran Sargent’s majority was 3,140 exactly. Our impression is that Coffroth only had 1,200 against him the time before the last. Weadvise Democratic papers to look at the returns before boasting about Coffroth’s decreasing majority against him.

Iaonepation.—Thé following ine. teresting statistical facts bearing on the subject of foreign immigration are obtained from the Special Report on Immigration, prepared by Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, in the Tresury Department at Washington: It appears that the whole number of aliens added to our population since the formation of the government is about 7,800,000, and of these about 5,600,000 were living in the country on the lst of last June. During the year ending Decembeér 31, 1870, the number.of immigrants was 378,790, against “395,922 in 1869. The decrease isaccounted forby the Franco-Prussian war, the immigration from Germany diminished by that cause about 28,000. More than half the immigrants are British subjects, and about one third are Germans. The influx from Germany has for some time exceeded that from. Ireland. During the last ten years for instance, the average annual immigration has been as follows: Germans, 83,000; Irish, 77,000; English, 21,000; British American, 16,000; Scandinavian, 13,000; Scotch, 3,700. How rapidly the Gerthan element is gaining upon the Irish is shown by the returns for the three immediately preceding the war of 1870, during which the annual arrivals of Germans averaged as high as 128,000, against 82,000 Irish. Even in 1870 we received 97,000, Germans, and only 75,000 Irish. Since 1820 the whole number of Irish immigrants has been 2,700,000, and of Germans 2,300,000. A sILvER mountain has been discovered in Colorado near a little mining village known as Georgetown. The ore was first discovered in the “‘slide.’’ and afterward several valuable lodes were struck. A correspendent of the Denver News was shown pieces of mineral, averaging from two hundred to three hundréd pounds each, taken from this mountain, which when assayed gavea return of from 1,500 to 2,000 ounces per ton./ As the mouhtain was near’ a village, the discovery could not be long kopt a secret; and as soul as tle news got out there was sucha general rush to the place of old and young, amateur and professional miners, that ata little distance it resembled amammoth ant hill. There can be no doubt about the entire truth of this story, for we have seen it in several [@pers, Henk is another of the heroes who are so common that they attract little attention, John Olvany, of Michigan City, Indiana, was sailing on the lake with three friends, when the boat capsized by a flaw of the wind, and as the little craft could bear up only three persons, Olvany, saying that he had no family and they had, bade them good-bye, released his hold, and was drowned. Sir Philip Sydney never did anything half so noble as that, and yet who will remember the name of John Olvany to-morrow. ConversationaL,—A Berkshire paper says that a fellow in that vicinity went courting his girl on Monday evening, and wishing to be very conversational, observed: ‘The thermomokron is twenty degrees below zelon this evenin’.’’ ‘‘Yes, ” innocently replied the maiden, ‘‘Such kind. of birds do fly higher some seasons of the year than others. PROPERLY Locargp.—An exchange describing the localities of three prominent Institutions of its city, says: ‘The medical college ison the road to the cemetery; the divinity college on the road to the poorhouse; and the law school on the road to the A Bure.ar in jail.at Canton, Ilinois, hanged himself with a rope made trom & spool Of thread.

How He Gains. Democratic papers state that Coffroth has gained on his ppponent in the Second District every time he ran. The last time he ran Sargent’s majority was 3,140 exactly. Our impression is that Coffroth only had 1,200 against him the time before the last. Weadvise Democratic papers to look at the returns before boasting about Coffroth’s decreasing majority against him. A War. ‘ There was war among the women of the town on Sunday night, and some four or-five of them have been arrested on charges and cotinter charges. THE glory of Mrs. N. B. Gardner, of Detroit, as the first woman voter in Michigan, has departed. Not Wilson voted at Battle Creek at an earlier hour than she did on the last election day, but the Lansing Republican has discovered that the fame should rest on. the brow of a lady lohg since dead; and old book of records showing that on the 28th day of April, 1804, widows who were freeholders voted the same as men, und were even permitted to vote by proxy. The. election was a vital important one, touching the defenses of the town against the savages, and involving, of course, taxation; and the women’s vote turned the scale on the economical —_ Sevenat dayssince a soldier named Fisher was found inthe San Francisco city prison by an Eastern visitor, and indentified as the heir to an estate in Deleware valued at $150,000.

Tue brig Freida arrived in New Orleans lately with 3950 bags of coffee from Rio, which will be about the last cargo in this season. ‘The total imports are now 203,935 bags, compared with 139,743 last year. Tue Danville (Va.) Times says John A. Ratcliff, with his two small boys, raised, from six and a half acres of land, 7,466 pounds of tobacco, which sold for $2,630 60.

Iaonepation.—Thé following ine. teresting statistical facts bearing on the subject of foreign immigration are obtained from the Special Report on Immigration, prepared by Edward Young, Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, in the Tresury Department at Washington: It appears that the whole number of aliens added to our population since the formation of the government is about 7,800,000, and of these about 5,600,000 were living in the country on the lst of last June. During the year ending Decembeér 31, 1870, the number.of immigrants was 378,790, against “395,922 in 1869. The decrease isaccounted forby the Franco-Prussian war, the immigration from Germany diminished by that cause about 28,000. More than half the immigrants are British subjects, and about one third are Germans. The influx from Germany has for some time exceeded that from. Ireland. During the last ten years for instance, the average annual immigration has been as follows: Germans, 83,000; Irish, 77,000; English, 21,000; British American, 16,000; Scandinavian, 13,000; Scotch, 3,700. How rapidly the Gerthan element is gaining upon the Irish is shown by the returns for the three immediately preceding the war of 1870, during which the annual arrivals of Germans averaged as high as 128,000, against 82,000 Irish. Even in 1870 we received 97,000, Germans, and only 75,000 Irish. Since 1820 the whole number of Irish immigrants has been 2,700,000, and of Germans 2,300,000. A sILvER mountain has been discovered in Colorado near a little mining village known as Georgetown. The ore was first discovered in the “‘slide.’’ and afterward several valuable lodes were struck. A correspendent of the Denver News was shown pieces of mineral, averaging from two hundred to three hundréd pounds each, taken from this mountain, which when assayed gavea return of from 1,500 to 2,000 ounces per ton./ As the mouhtain was near’ a village, the discovery could not be long kopt a secret; and as soul as tle news got out there was sucha general rush to the place of old and young, amateur and professional miners, that ata little distance it resembled amammoth ant hill. There can be no doubt about the entire truth of this story, for we have seen it in several [@pers, Henk is another of the heroes who are so common that they attract little attention, John Olvany, of Michigan

City, Indiana, was sailing on the lake with three friends, when the boat capsized by a flaw of the wind, and as the little craft could bear up only three persons, Olvany, saying that he had no family and they had, bade them good-bye, released his hold, and was drowned. Sir Philip Sydney never did anything half so noble as that, and yet who will remember the name of John Olvany to-morrow. ConversationaL,—A Berkshire paper says that a fellow in that vicinity went courting his girl on Monday evening, and wishing to be very conversational, observed: ‘The thermomokron is twenty degrees below zelon this evenin’.’’ ‘‘Yes, ” innocently replied the maiden, ‘‘Such kind. of birds do fly higher some seasons of the year than others.
