g peeener ney _ Coreepting , Becing tar aoa 9 wnt s ‘Democratic Convention on Saturday, some. statements were made against ex-Assemblyman W. A. King, as enrolling officer of ‘the last election. These statements show some of the tricks Tesorted to by the Democtacy to carry the day. Mr, King was enrolling officer and also Justice of the Peace and a candidate for the Assembly. J. A. Cross, of Truckee, was a candidate for Constable in Meadow Lake, both gentlemen being on the Democratic ticket. Mr. the Democratic Convention to make _q statement, which he did, by saying gubstantlally that one of the parties a seat, was under age, that he was also a Republican, but that King had enrolled him upon the condition that he would vote for King and Cross, and that the party was not sworn. Mr, Cross further said that Mr. King had enrolled a good many in his presence whom he did not swear. According to Mr. Cross’ statement, made in open Convention, we say Mr. King does not appear in an enviable light before the public. Mr. King was Deputy Assessor, and as such made the enrollment. The law requires, (sec. 5) “The Assessor or “his deputies shall examine on oath each person go enrolled and returned, in relation to the facts and particulars-so required to, be set forth, and in his returns shall nete the fact of such examination: and sworn verification by the word ‘‘sworn,’’ with the date of administering the oath.” Did Mr. King do this? If he did not, and Cross’ ‘statements, publicly made, be true, he is guilty of making false returns. Under sec, 21 of the Registry Act, officers making fradudlent returns are liable to be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000, or by imprisonment in the State prigon not lesa than one or _moro than ah If such offi. Ger neglect to perform any specific act required of him; he isliable to a like ptinishment. These are grave charges made, and they should be ininvestigated by the Grand Jury, and if sustained, such acts should be punished. If officers are permitted with impunity to perpetrate frauds in the élections, regisjry laws are of little benefit. ‘The charge that this was done was boldy made against Mr. King before a Convention of his party, and in the presence of nearly three hnndred people, © Findley's speech.

VALLEJO CLAIMS MORE. It claims harbor facilities equal to San Francisco; it is thirty miies farther inland, and isan excellent pyint+ for the terminus of various railroads, particularly’ for a continental and Oregon road. ‘The competition of the California Pacific has proved to a considerable degree the value of its position. . The. road. has opened, up a most desirable wheat growing region, as well as a direct thoroughfare for passenger travel up and The road is a success to its owners, to farmers along its route, and to Vallejo. It revived the slumbering hopes of having a foreign: commerce, and as a practical beginning loaded thirtysix ships at its wharves in the. past year with whéat for foréign countries. Such a favorable result has attracted capital from various of the State, and also from . nd—the world’s banker. ‘English capital conand proposes to extend the same northward to secure the Oregon trade, and then eastward” to grasp hands with the Union Pacific at Og. the continent. ‘Besides this great enterprise, which will soon ‘assume partial shape, Vallejo is destined to be the termintis of atdad running northward to Humboldt Bay, on the coast range, as also local roads to Clear Lake and other points nearer by. The owners of the Central Pacific,nettled by the competition of the California Pacific, and the superior route of the latter from Sacramento to the Bay, has just completed its survey of a parallel ‘fotite to Vallejo. If the Central folks,_build to Vallejo, they will mike ‘that’ place their terminus,as they can get no farther westward, or nearer San Francisco. One thing is certain: the Central Pacific cannot possibly bring their road to San Francisco. They may conclude to bridge the Strait of .Carquinez and reach Oakland. But this would be at eriormous éxpense; and what can be the object of their doing this, when they can reach a commercial port as good as that of San Francisco at Vallejo, the only place on the Bay that offers a natural terminus?’ The great continental xoada expect . with reason to carry a large amount of freight and the Passengers from Asia, Australia, and the islands of the Pacific Ocean. These great continental roads are not building to favor San Francisco or any other particular point, but to secure all the businefs they can. Freight from Australia, Japan, China, the East Indies, and the western coast of South America, can be delivered at Vallejo just as cheap as it can at San Francisco, and save twenty-five miles of railroad travel, as it is shipped across the continent, The railroad companies find they can secure through trade just as well by stopping at Vallejo as they Gan by spending millions in driving piles and running a railroad track from Oakland out toward San Franciséo and having to use a ferry at last. OTHER ADVANTAGES. The topographical character of the country at and adjacent to Vallejo is more fvorable ‘for a large city than or rocky hills to ‘ititerfere with the construction. of streets or gold, disa-. winds that-are of daily ccmake y he but to nv awtilline of the peo. ple of the present commercial imiétrop. olis, we will give them the benefit of . a doubt; and patiently await the tide . Transcrirt, met in this city, From the first it was evident that a lively and bitter contest was to be made between the friends of Findley and Haight. The preliminary organiza. . tion was. conceded forthe Findley ! men, with the exception of a little sparring on the committee on credentials. The first-real contest before the Convention was made.ona contested seat from Truekee, by W. A. King, against Oscar Hill, each claim. _ ing to represent Summit Valley on . the floor. In this contest some fam-. ily secrets leaked out. It was charged that two; meetings were held . at that place by King, that King was and had been for sometime a resident 6f Sacramento, who ‘canie to Nevada. county. te. help,the. Haightites, and that his first mecting was held at-Cardwell’s. in Placer county, himself and a manunder age participasting, and that they two elected the delegation'and King got the proxy, and that after Walker held his meeting, King went back to Summit Valley in the evening and held another meeting, electing another delegation, and securing the proxy. Mr. King contended that Judge Walker’s meeting was all wrong, ‘being held at a different time from that appointed. Besides this, sundry other charges were made, among-them accusations that the primary at Grass Valley was carried by colonizing voters and other utifair—-means.—There--was—evidence all through the proceedings of adeep feeling in.the contest. The relative strength of the parties, as 4.shown. by. the test-vote, was-about.asfor Findley to 35 for Haight. The best tacticians were in the interests of Haight and fought inch by inch, but tle superior numbers were for Findley, and they stuck ‘together, voting solidly on every proposition that was brought'to a vote, except as to:the matter of appointing delegates to the State Convention. There are said to be three favorable to Haight on the delegation, but they are so tightly bound to ‘Findley by resolutions of instruction, that they must stand by him or disobey instructions. Findley has reason to be proud of his victory, and his friends in the county are in high glee. They really hope him to be the nominee of the Democracy, as he has now become the leading opponent of Haight in the State. ee SrentenceD.—The following is the sentence or Mrs. Fair, convicted of the murder of Crittenden, pronounced upon her by Judge Dwinelle on Saturday last Leure.B Beir, you are indicted by . the Grand Jury of the city and coun‘ty of San Francisco, wal crime of murder; in. the. unlawfal killing of Alexander.

Bishop Cark, of the Methodist Church, brings. sadness to the thousands of Methodists in this city, to many of whom he was endearéd by personal ties, and by all of whom he was affectionately reverenced. Bishop Clark, although comparatively a young man, has completed a wondefrul work of Christian service. Born February 25; 1812, on the islandef Mt. Desert; Maine, he early evinced a liking for the sea, and while yet in his boyhood determined to follow it fora livelihood. This project, however, he was.led to abandon by a Methodist preacher, under whose teaching he entered upon the peculiarly devout religous life, whose beauty and simplicity were fitly illustrated in. his recent. quiet but triumphantdeath. He was graduated from Wesleyan in the class of "36, and spent the following seven years in teaching in Amenia seminary in Duchess county, New York. In. 1843 he entered regularly upon the work of the ministry, and under the itinerant system, ocoupied from that time until 1852 a number of important churches in New York city, and the adjacent country. In the fall of 1852 he was called to the editorial Management of the Ladies’ Repository, a Methodist periodical widely known throughout the West. At the General Conference of 1864 he was chosen to the high office of the Episcopacy, in which he has since labored with untiring zeal and abundant suecess. His pulpit efforts were often brilliant, and never unprofitable, and as & pastor he will long be remembered by those who were privileged to wait upon his ministry. In literary labors he was also eminently successful, and several of his works will add to his posthumous fame. While presiding over the New. York Conference at Peekskill his health gave ‘way ang . °22 he until last, Tuesday when he Geod.ah is date wictdines 3 in The Social, Circle connected with the Methodist Chureli, in this city, will meet at the parsonage, on Piety ‘: “In'the Precincts of Nevada city and Grass ‘Sasade ito) And Cle ek!

The best tacticians were in the interests of Haight and fought inch by inch, but tle superior numbers were for Findley, and they stuck ‘together, voting solidly on every proposition that was brought'to a vote, except as to:the matter of appointing delegates to the State Convention. There are said to be three favorable to Haight on the delegation, but they are so tightly bound to ‘Findley by resolutions of instruction, that they must stand by him or disobey instructions. Findley has reason to be proud of his victory, and his friends in the county are in high glee. They really hope him to be the nominee of the Democracy, as he has now become the leading opponent of Haight in the State. ee SrentenceD.—The following is the sentence or Mrs. Fair, convicted of the murder of Crittenden, pronounced upon her by Judge Dwinelle on Saturday last Leure.B Beir, you are indicted by . the Grand Jury of the city and coun‘ty of San Francisco, wal crime of murder; in. the. unlawfal killing of Alexander.

Bishop Cark, of the Methodist Church, brings. sadness to the thousands of Methodists in this city, to many of whom

he was endearéd by personal ties, and by all of whom he was affectionately reverenced. Bishop Clark, although comparatively a young man, has completed a wondefrul work of Christian service. Born February 25; 1812, on the islandef Mt. Desert; Maine, he early evinced a liking for the sea, and while yet in his boyhood determined to follow it fora livelihood. This project, however, he was.led to abandon by a Methodist preacher, under whose teaching he entered upon the peculiarly devout religous life, whose beauty and simplicity were fitly illustrated in. his recent. quiet but triumphantdeath. He was graduated from Wesleyan in the class of "36, and spent the following seven years in teaching in Amenia seminary in Duchess county, New York. In. 1843 he entered regularly upon the work of the ministry, and under the itinerant system, ocoupied from that time until 1852 a number of important churches in New York city, and the adjacent country. In the fall of 1852 he was called to the editorial Management of the Ladies’ Repository, a Methodist periodical widely known throughout the West. At the General Conference of 1864 he was chosen to the high office of the Episcopacy, in which he has since labored with untiring zeal and abundant suecess. His pulpit efforts were often brilliant, and never unprofitable, and as & pastor he will long be remembered by those who were privileged to wait upon his ministry. In literary labors he was also eminently successful, and several of his works will add to his posthumous fame. While presiding over the New. York Conference at Peekskill his health gave ‘way ang . °22 he until last, Tuesday when he Geod.ah is date wictdines 3 in The Social, Circle connected with the Methodist Chureli, in this city, will meet at the parsonage, on Piety ‘: “In'the Precincts of Nevada city and Grass ‘Sasade ito) And Cle ek!
