Put while ng : . .@ dark hall way, walked into an openES OTIS ER, I . about two inches above the ankle . _ The Vallejo Recorder says: One of the most desperate attempts to. take the life of another or of three persons was made en last Tuesday erening at 7 o’cloek in one of the rooms of the United States Hotel oh Main stréet. As large d depositor in Vallejo in the bank of Thos. Mooney, San Francisco, was perhaps Thos. . Ahern. He had placed in it over; $2,000, the hard earnings of a life . Tue Hon. James Brooks writes from Japan that the national food is fish. There is not an ocean or river creature that the Japs do not eat; even sharks, and tlie uglier the more appetizing. And most of the fish are not dead fish, but living, jumping, wriggling fish. Yon buy an eel all squirming. The fish market men bring their fish to market in water tubs, and the fishermen keep a huge bamboo water fish tank on each side upon which he expected-.to live in }of the junks, into which they throw i ini card . : hey haul up,or in. his declining years. When he h . the creatures that they P; of the failure of the bank and the ab. So much is thought of the fish here, sconding cashier, it completely-turn. that ona certain festival day every ed him from a good natured fellow family that has a boy born during toa downhearted’ sullen individual . the year hangs out a great painted who it never after was a pleasure to!) fish to boast of it. Mr. Brooks says: . ‘To Whom it may Concern. At the head of the editorial columns of the Examiner appears a card from the Rey. O. P, Fitzgerald, which he requests every editor in the State friendly to his clectionto copy. The Parson wants to secure freé advertising, and his. friends may possibly give his card a show. The Parson Says: Notwithstanding the fact that the . school teachers of California, without . indorse the poli-j distinction of party cy and action of my administraticn; a * * = ‘ notwithstanding the fact that a large ! number of the best men in the Kepublican party are sitpporting me for . re-election, their newspapers are seeking to defeat me by -appealing to every: prejudice that can be engendered . in the minds of their readers. Now if all the school teachers, with. out distinction of party, and the best , men among the Kepublcdn party in. dorse Mr. Fitzgerald, why this un. easiness? His card is only remarka. bie for the use of the personal pronoun and its disregard of the facts. . The papers inopposition to Mr. Fitzgerald are not zppealing‘to prejudice, . ‘but to patriotism as a reason for his . defeat. e Examiner attempts to! defend Fitzgerald in the change of ! text books, by saying the State Board . ® madé the change. This is true, but! still the Stat: Superintendent is reSponsible, and Mr. Fitzgerald made . before county Inetitutes, as well as . in their discussions ta urge the pro. posed changes. Every effort was . made by him to influence in favor of . stances of the same kind have been ' these changes. Among them was . . the discarding of Quackinbos’ history for a book that had not been . excuse such villainy if it could. be written, and which was only lately published. We allude to Swinton’s History of the United States.— . brace disagreeable objects. When it ’ Quackenbos’ history treats of the re. beilion, and Swinton is a Democrat, . und yet Parson Fitzgerald claims . that he was not influenced by parti. zan spirit. Why did he compel the State Educational Society to relinquish control of the State T eacher, if . not that the editors appointed by the . Society were Republicans, and Mr. . Fitzgerald wanted to get them out of the way. We venture to say no more bitter partizan cen be found in the . State than the present Superintend. ent of Schools, and we do not believe any Republican will be induced to support him by his pathetic appeals in his own behalf. An Extra Session Proposed. The Alta says a secret meeting has been held by leading Democrats, the object of which is to get an extra session of the Legislature. That paper says: -The pretext for this move is that itis necessary to pass, as soon as possible, bills for the establishment of a Board of Public Works in San Francisco, for a metropolitan police, for uniform ballots, for re-districting . the State, and for expelling the Chi. namen. The true purpose is to do i stealing and to cheat the people. We seriqusly doubt if any such insane proposition wouhl be entertained by leading Democrats. Each one of the matters spoken of may with safety be left to the next Legislature, . which meets on the first Monday in. December. As an extra session could not be called earlier than next November the proposition is simply ridiculous. There could be only one object in calling together the Legislature in extra session, and that would be to thwart the wishes of the people as expressed in the late election, or to put through some swindling scheme. The Alta has probably been sold, as no sane politician would for . a moment think of en extra session at this time. Poor Matt Pixley, who was killed by the State Prisoners in their outbreak on Sunday, realized Byron's idea of fame. “He had his name spelled wrong in the gazette. The telegraph his name ‘“‘Rixby.’’— Exchange. We understand that Pixley former-. . assisted tothe fluor from which he . . had fallen. !nam to his bed for three or four . weeks. i beex declaring its disbelief in the ni. doubt that had chemical tests been . day, tickets that had been chemically . . hands of highly respectable gentle. ing in the floor, falling a distance of . fourteen or fifteen feet to the second . story, where some excavations were . being made. He struck on his feet, sustaining the injury mentioned. Calling for assistance, a ladder was i . procured, upen which he climbed unconverse with. He perhaps entertained slight hopes for getting some percentage of the money, until a week ago when he read the account of the meeting of the stockholders and ditectors in the city. papers, adjoining room, and Dr. Bronson, . who was fortunately in his office, was summond to his relief. examination it was found’ that both bones had been fractured. The accident will probably confine Mr. Put. +<+ Wants Proor.—The Examiner has trate of silver fraud, pronouncing it a Republican electioneering trick and . calling for proof. An oid proverb! says there are none so blind as those . who will not see. If the Examiner . were a public spirited newspaper instead of a narrow party organ, says the Bulleiin, it wqald_know that nirate of silver tickets were thrown . out in the recount; and we have “no . i i applied to all suspected tickets, the number thrown out would have been large. Wewere shown on election altered, and that were placed in the . men who only: escaped dropping . them in’ the ballot hor by mere . chance; and since then numerous inreported to us on the best evidence. We do not think 'the Examiner would . made to see 1t; but there is great dif. ficulty in bringing its vision to emcannot see anything of the vast proportions of the Tammany swindle, itis not strange that it should: be blind to the State Capitol fraud and nitrate of silver rascality. ee VOLS ACCEPTING THE SiTvation.—The S. F. Examiner, after having partially recovered from the chagrin of its defeat, gives in its Monday evening’s issue a very sensible explanation of the causes of the result of the late elections. It no longer claims California as a Democratic State; but after speaking of various causes that have decreased the Democratic strength says: When we reflect that Grant carried the State three years ago, and that the Democrats only succeded because ofa split in the Radical party the year previous, we need not be sur-. prised, upon a careful and cool review of the tield, that we were beaten. The Examiner is correct. The election of Haight. in 1867, was the result of disaffection in the Republican ranks, and was not owing to the popularity of Democratic principles. Suop Lirrixc.— Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a Chinaman stepped into E. Lundquist’s jewelry store, Mill street, says the Grass Valley Union, and looked through the glass of the show case at the beautiful display on the inside, apparently full of innocent curiosity aione, Mr. Lundquist was showing a customer a gold watch, such as ladies wear. He laid the watch on the case while he turned.around to weigh a chain which his éustomer wanted. When he turned again to the show case,the Chinaman had disappeared and so had the watch. The Chinaman had seized the opportunity, while Mr. L. and his customer were looking at the seales; to nip the watch. > LiNcoun’s remains were on Tuesday placed in their permanent tomb at Springfield, Illinois. Robert T. Lincoln, Senator Trumbull, B. Gratz Brown of Missouri and J udge Davis of the. United States Supreme Court were present, TRERE were ten deaths at Sacramento last week. : _y resided at San Juan in this county. * Prov. Mahon, of West Point, committed suicide by drowning. esas and their conclusion toe abandon the affair altogether. This set the man smith shop, he would sometimes act i]ike a wild man. For the last few . Upon . nights his friends had to sit up with . him to prevent him doing any harm to himself. Yesterday while in one of these moods he must have made a resolution to stab his companions. He invited three of them to come to his room in the evening. They said they would come. They were Barney Lennon, Larry Cook and ‘Thos. ; Rutter the victim of his terrific onslonght. After eating his evening meal he went to his room and awaited the arrival of his friends, Previous to this he had told them he had no . knife, but he had obtained one some. ta where and had it as sharp as a razor. . A little before 7 o'clock his friends . Place decorated with cartoons . came, went to his room and sat downupon the bed and conversed with knife turned upon his companions and cried out ‘‘A Conspiracy,” at thé same time ‘stabbing the nearest man named Thomas Rutter cutting «deep gash in his throat: The other two men caught him and with the greatest difficulty succeeded in securing him. For one hour they wrestled with the powerful fellow before they could bind him. The finger of one of his hands had to be nearly severed before he would let go the knife. At this stage a Recorder reporter went into the room, He was lying on his face bound hand and foot, ‘‘Who’s this’ asked the Reporter. ‘Innocent Tom” he replied, opposite in another room lay tutter bleeding freely and very pale. He said it was a preconcerted plan of Ahern's to kill us all. Shortly after the doctor.and officers arrived. Rutter’s wounds were dressed and Ahern taken to prison. The wound is not a fatal one. > Usirorm Batiots.—Our Democratic cotemporaies are now very generally advocating the necessity of the passage of a law by which ballots used at our elections should be of uniform size and upon the same kind of paper. Such a plan would undoubtedly be perfectly satisfactory to Republicans, and it is a remarkable fact that during the last session of the Legislature Senator Pendergast, of Napa, introduced a bill entitled ‘An Act to protect the secrecy of the ballot,” which was approved by most of the Republicans, but did not meet the approbation of the Democratic caucus, and therefore was allowed to rest quietly upon the file and no further action was taken upon it during the session. If the Democratic members of that Legislature had thought the passage of such a bill would have benefited their party, there is no doubt but what it would have -been passed, but they then believed that such a law ‘would prove disadvantageous to their interests. If they are now in favor of such an enactment there should be no opposition from the Republicans, for they are competent to read their ballots and will not be likely to vote contrary to their judgment in any event. ‘Carturrp.—The Enterprise says that Charles Jones, one of the escaped -convicts, was captured near Genoa, and that eighteen of the prisoners had been seen on the dividing line between Douglas and Ormsby counties, some ten or twelve miles from the prison. : Tux English wheat crop is report. .

Shelby, and at their instance, a resolution was passed that it igs the duty of all former Confederates to turn their backs upon the past and grasp manfully the duties and responsibilities of the future.

On their way up they got among the quails when the three hunters leaped out of the wagon in which they were riding, ‘and began shooting. Allen fired one barrel of his fowling piece and then stopped to load. While loading the barrel which he had discharged, the remaining barrel was, in some unaccountable way, exploded. This explosion tcre off the thumb of the left. hand and sent cheek, The wound in the cheek is a trifling one, but the loss of a thumb is, of‘éourse, serious. The strange part of the affairis that Allen did not know that his thumb was -hurt until he undertook to shoulder his gun, when he found that he could not grasp the weapon with his left hand. He returned to Grass Valley and is under the surgical care of Dr. Tompkins, Qualified.

The Alta has probably been sold, as no sane politician would for . a moment think of en extra session at this time. Poor Matt Pixley, who was killed by the State Prisoners in their outbreak on Sunday, realized Byron's idea of fame. “He had his name spelled wrong in the gazette.

He perhaps entertained slight hopes for getting some percentage of the money, until a week ago when he read the account of the meeting of the stockholders and ditectors in the city. papers, adjoining room, and Dr. Bronson, . who was fortunately in his office, was summond to his relief. examination it was found’ that both bones had been fractured. The accident will probably confine Mr. Put. +<+ Wants Proor.—The Examiner has trate of silver fraud, pronouncing it a Republican electioneering trick and . calling for proof. An oid proverb! says there are none so blind as those . who will not see. If the Examiner . were a public spirited newspaper instead of a narrow party organ, says the Bulleiin, it wqald_know that nirate of silver tickets were thrown . out in the recount; and we have “no . i i applied to all suspected tickets, the number thrown out would have been large. Wewere shown on election altered, and that were placed in the . men who only: escaped dropping . them in’ the ballot hor by mere . chance; and since then numerous inreported to us on the best evidence. We do not think 'the Examiner would . made to see 1t; but there is great dif. ficulty in bringing its vision to emcannot see anything of the vast proportions of the Tammany swindle, itis not strange that it should: be blind to the State Capitol fraud and nitrate of silver rascality. ee VOLS ACCEPTING THE SiTvation.—The S. F. Examiner, after having partially recovered from the chagrin of its defeat, gives in its Monday evening’s issue a very sensible explanation of the causes of the result of the late elections. It no longer claims California as a Democratic State; but after speaking of various causes that have decreased the Democratic strength says: When we reflect that Grant carried the State three years ago, and that the Democrats only succeded because ofa split in the Radical party the year previous, we need not be sur-. prised, upon a careful and cool review of the tield, that we were beaten. The Examiner is correct. The election of Haight. in 1867, was the result of disaffection in the Republican ranks, and was not owing to the popularity of Democratic principles. Suop Lirrixc.— Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a Chinaman stepped into E. Lundquist’s jewelry store, Mill street, says the Grass Valley Union, and looked through the glass of the show case at the beautiful display on the inside, apparently full of innocent curiosity aione, Mr. Lundquist was showing a customer a gold watch, such as ladies wear. He laid the watch on the case while he turned.around to weigh a chain which his éustomer wanted. When he turned again to the show case,the Chinaman had disappeared and so had the watch. The Chinaman had seized the opportunity, while Mr. L. and his customer were looking at the seales; to nip the watch. > LiNcoun’s remains were on Tuesday placed in their permanent tomb at Springfield, Illinois. Robert T. Lincoln, Senator Trumbull, B. Gratz Brown of Missouri and J udge Davis of the.

For the last few . Upon . nights his friends had to sit up with . him to prevent him doing any harm to himself. Yesterday while in one of these moods he must have made a resolution to stab his companions. He invited three of them to come to his room in the evening. They said they would come. They were Barney Lennon, Larry Cook and ‘Thos. ; Rutter the victim of his terrific onslonght. After eating his evening meal he went to his room and awaited the arrival of his friends, Previous to this he had told them he had no . knife, but he had obtained one some. ta where and had it as sharp as a razor. . A little before 7 o'clock his friends . Place decorated with cartoons . came, went to his room and sat downupon the bed and conversed with knife turned upon his companions and cried out ‘‘A Conspiracy,” at thé same time ‘stabbing the nearest man named Thomas Rutter cutting «deep gash in his throat: The other two men caught him and with the greatest difficulty succeeded in securing him. For one hour they wrestled with the powerful fellow before they could bind him. The finger of one of his hands had to be nearly severed before he would let go the knife. At this stage a Recorder reporter went into the room, He was lying on his face bound hand and foot, ‘‘Who’s this’ asked the Reporter. ‘Innocent Tom” he replied, opposite in another room lay tutter bleeding freely and very pale. He said it was a preconcerted plan of Ahern's to kill us all. Shortly after the doctor.and officers arrived. Rutter’s wounds were dressed and Ahern taken to prison. The wound is not a fatal one. > Usirorm Batiots.—Our Democratic cotemporaies are now very generally advocating the necessity of the passage of a law by which ballots used at our elections should be of uniform size and upon the same kind of paper. Such a plan would undoubtedly be perfectly satisfactory to Republicans, and it is a remarkable fact that during the last session of the Legislature Senator Pendergast, of Napa, introduced a bill entitled ‘An Act to protect the secrecy of the ballot,” which was approved by most of the Republicans, but did not meet the approbation of the Democratic caucus, and therefore was allowed to rest quietly upon the file and no further action was taken upon it during the session. If the Democratic members of that Legislature had thought the passage of such a bill would have benefited their party, there is no doubt but what it would have -been passed, but they then believed that such a law ‘would prove disadvantageous to their interests. If they are now in favor of such an enactment there should be no opposition from the Republicans, for they are competent to read their ballots and will not be likely to vote contrary to their judgment in any event. ‘Carturrp.—The Enterprise says that Charles Jones, one of the escaped -convicts, was captured near Genoa, and that eighteen of the prisoners had been seen on the dividing line between Douglas and Ormsby counties, some ten or twelve miles from the prison. : Tux English wheat crop is report. .

On their way up they got among the quails when the three hunters leaped out of the wagon in which they were riding, ‘and began shooting.
