State not only onght to be proud of the proved honesty and patriotism of Messrs. Sargent and Booth in the Senate, and Mr. Page in the House of Representatives, but also of their sagacity and men) and brilliant orators. A. A. Sargent has begun his admirable and peaceful political career as Congressman from the 2nd Distrigt of California, to the Congress at Washington, to which officévhe has been reelected three or four terms by the Electors, In 1873 he was elected Senator to succeed ‘Cornelius Cole. From that time Mr. Sargent bas ~acquired national fame. He is gifted with rare_perspicucity, pertinacity . and sound judgment of men and things. To him were entrusted many greatand difficult questions of na: tional interest in the Senate, and he has lately proved himself equal to the emergency in dilucidating the electoral imbroglio of ‘the State of Florida. _Upon his able reportit has beén decided that the four votes of Florida should be counted for the ‘aecess tO clock and Watches to enable . ‘Collins well remarks, ‘People do of consecrated metal, and bis slumters broken even earlier than ordinarily by the dissonance of ‘its elamor, And this noise is obtrusive; it pervades every part of the city, and it is monotonously unendurable.

Outside of those hours let their -clangor be pronounced a nuisance,_The proRepublicancandidate.~ Senator Sargent, with his eloquence, energy, high intelligence, quick judgment; with the merits of stern. patriotism and many other qualities of a statenman, has becomein a short time one of the pillars of the United States Senate. He is always at his place, ready to do his duty in.favor of the general welfare of the mation. ‘With stringent logic he finds out the’ cardinal points of the question, then he fights in that line With the tenacity which has distinqtished him so much, and ‘made him esteemed by the Republicans and feared bythe Democrats. By the Latin population of California; Nevada and Oregon, Mr. Sargent is kept in the same consideration as Senator Benton was by the population of Missouri, and Senator Sumner by those of the New England States, _, Lhat corruption unfortanately-exists, in this Republican country,which is a model of liberty, can not be denied, but when she has Representatives in Congress, -as Messrs, Sargent, Booth and Page, whom gold never had the power to buy or corrupt, the good and .honest citizens have reason to be proud, hopeful and happy, pointing ont that hon-esty and patriotism are not yet dead, and are promising to become vigorous aud powerful, all >< Church Bell Ringing. The San Francisco Stock Report man must have been nervous last Sunday morning, when he penned the following protest against the clangor and clamor of the bells. T'o fire crackers, to ring gongs, beat drums, and make outlandish nuvises with an instrument intended for a fiddle, is a part of the religious ceremony of our Mongolian brothers, yet the legal futhorities have deprived them of that privilege, and will now go so far as to stop the clanging, noisy and discordant bells from sunrise to sunset, on Sundays, if the irreverent Stock Report man is to have his way. Whether he speaks the sentiments of sick, nervous and pain distracted invalids or not, we will leave for them to answer. The Report says: “One of the most exasperating nuisences which afficts us -hebomadally, is the ringing of the charch bells on Sunday morning, Commencing with ‘. daylight, or before?, they banish sleep from the couch, alike of sick. ‘. Ress and health, with their monotf/ onous kling kling; they drive the in. valid to distraction, and the healtby man to profanity. We all have attached some respect to the “churehgoing bell,” and ut proper times and Seasonsthe practice might be.-per. missible. But when the bell is rung as is the present. custom, morning, noon and night, in season and out of Season, aggravatingly, unnecessarily and persistently, it becomes time to inquire if non church-goers have not Some riguts which even the most . pious and conservative are bound to repect. Many & man, whose » labor calls him from his rest before day light every day inthe week (when,\ be it observed, be gees without advertising the fact by ringing a tocsin to the disturbance of bis: neighbors) finds his Sunday morning, his sole day of rest, broken in apon from j si posal may be regarded as iconoclas. < tic, but the age is progressive, and with the daily increasing numbers of non church goers, some provision should be made for their. comfort and for guarding them against senseless persecation,’’ JupGiInG By . APPEARANCES. — On one occasion Daniel Webster was on his way to his duties at Washington. He was cotmpelled to proceed atnight by stege from Baltimore. He had no traveling companion, aiid the driver_bad a sort of felon look which produced no inconsiderable alarm in the Senator, ‘‘I endeavored to -tranguilize myself,”’ said Webster, ‘‘and had partly succeeded, when we reached the dark-woods between Bladensburg, and ‘Washington—a proper scene for murder and . courage again-deserted me;Just then the driver turned to me, and, with. a gruff voice, inquired my name, I gave it to bim. ‘Where are you going?’ said he. The reply was:—‘To Washington. Iam a Senator.’ -Upoacthis the driver seized . me fervently by the hand, and exclaimed: ‘How glad I am! I have been trembling in my seat for the Jast hour; for when [looked at you I took you to be a highwayman!’ ” HOTEL ARRIVALS, ood National Exchange Hotel. “ $. A. EDDY, Proprietor.

State not only onght to be proud of the proved honesty and patriotism of Messrs. Sargent and Booth in the Senate, and Mr. Page in the House of Representatives, but also of their sagacity and men) and brilliant orators. A. A. Sargent has begun his admirable and peaceful political career as Congressman from the 2nd Distrigt of California, to the Congress at Washington, to which officévhe has been reelected three or four terms by the Electors, In 1873 he was elected Senator to succeed ‘Cornelius Cole. From that time Mr. Sargent bas ~acquired national fame. He is gifted with rare_perspicucity, pertinacity . and sound judgment of men and things. To him were entrusted many greatand difficult questions of na: tional interest in the Senate, and he has lately proved himself equal to the emergency in dilucidating the electoral imbroglio of ‘the State of Florida. _Upon his able reportit has beén decided that the four votes of Florida should be counted for the ‘aecess tO clock and Watches to enable . ‘Collins well remarks, ‘People do of consecrated metal, and bis slumters broken even earlier than ordinarily by the dissonance of ‘its elamor, And this noise is obtrusive; it pervades every part of the city, and it is monotonously unendurable.

He is always at his place, ready to do his duty in.favor of the general welfare of the mation. ‘With stringent logic he finds out the’ cardinal points of the question, then he fights in that line With the tenacity which has distinqtished him so much, and ‘made him esteemed by the Republicans and feared bythe Democrats. By the Latin population of California; Nevada and Oregon, Mr. Sargent is kept in the same consideration as Senator Benton was by the population of Missouri, and Senator Sumner by those of the New England States, _, Lhat corruption unfortanately-exists, in this Republican country,which is a model of liberty, can not be denied, but when she has Representatives in Congress, -as Messrs, Sargent, Booth and Page, whom gold never had the power to buy or corrupt, the good and .honest citizens have reason to be proud, hopeful and happy, pointing ont that hon-esty and patriotism are not yet dead, and are promising to become vigorous aud powerful, all >< Church Bell Ringing. The San Francisco Stock Report man must have been nervous last Sunday morning, when he penned the following protest against the clangor and clamor of the bells. T'o fire crackers, to ring gongs, beat drums, and make outlandish nuvises with an instrument intended for a fiddle, is a part of the religious ceremony of our Mongolian brothers, yet the legal futhorities have deprived them of that privilege, and will now go so far as to stop the clanging, noisy and discordant bells from sunrise to sunset, on Sundays, if the irreverent Stock Report man is to have his way. Whether he speaks the sentiments of sick, nervous and pain distracted invalids or not, we will leave for them to answer. The Report says: “One of the most exasperating nuisences which afficts us -hebomadally, is the ringing of the charch bells on Sunday morning, Commencing with ‘. daylight, or before?, they banish sleep from the couch, alike of sick. ‘. Ress and health, with their monotf/ onous kling kling; they drive the in. valid to distraction, and the healtby man to profanity. We all have attached some respect to the “churehgoing bell,” and ut proper times and Seasonsthe practice might be.-per. missible. But when the bell is rung as is the present. custom, morning, noon and night, in season and out of Season, aggravatingly, unnecessarily and persistently, it becomes time to inquire if non church-goers have not Some riguts which even the most . pious and conservative are bound to repect. Many & man, whose » labor calls him from his rest before day light every day inthe week (when,\ be it observed, be gees without advertising the fact by ringing a tocsin to the disturbance of bis: neighbors) finds his Sunday morning, his sole day of rest, broken in apon from j si posal may be regarded as iconoclas. < tic, but the age is progressive, and with the daily increasing numbers of non church goers, some provision should be made for their. comfort and for guarding them against senseless persecation,’’ JupGiInG By . APPEARANCES. — On one occasion Daniel Webster was on his way to his duties at Washington. He was cotmpelled to proceed atnight by stege from Baltimore. He had no traveling companion, aiid the driver_bad a sort of felon look which produced no inconsiderable alarm in the Senator, ‘‘I endeavored to -tranguilize myself,”’ said Webster, ‘‘and had partly succeeded, when we reached the dark-woods between Bladensburg, and ‘Washington—a proper scene for murder and . courage again-deserted me;Just then the driver turned to me, and, with. a gruff voice, inquired my name, I gave it to bim. ‘Where are you going?’ said he. The reply was:—‘To Washington. Iam a Senator.’ -Upoacthis the driver seized . me fervently by the hand, and exclaimed: ‘How glad I am!
