JUDICIAL ELECTION, be ' Jupags or THE Supreme Court. Long Term—A.L. RHODES. .of Santa Clara. Short Term—A, C, NILES.;..0f Nevada. For Svrr. or ScHOOLs. . HENRY ‘N. BOLANDER. .of San Franciitco. COUNTY TICKET. For County Judge, JOHN CALDWELL.. The Democratic papers and leaders pretend to have a great detestation for preachers of the gospel who mingle in politics, and yet they are ail anxioysly laboring for the election of Parson Fitzgerald, of the Methodist Church South, who has four times been a candidate for office, with & nomination from a party convention. The Parson has been a standing candidate for years and is one of the wiliest politicians in the State. He knows every trick in the game and always plays a full hand, so long a3 the cards last, and when the game is ‘played out,’’ as it is in the present contest, he exclaims, “brethren let us sniffle,”’ and with sanctimonious look says, “I am no partizan. All good Republicans ought to vote for me.””. This supplication was not resorted to until aftér-the-general eleetion when the keen political Parson found that he must have Republican votes to elect him to office. Last Winter when a bil was offered and rushed through the Legislature to prevent the selection of a Republican in San Francisco by extending the term of a Democratic Superinteadent, the Parson forgot he. was not a partizan, and he even became a lobbyest in interost of this partizan scheme, and was at Sacramento buttonholing and urging members to sup“port the bill, Even in the-rdminis.tration of affairs, in his lectures be-. fore Teachers’ Institutes, and on every occasion, the Parson has exhibited the most intense partizanship; and now he asks Republicans to vote for him, aud the Democrats who protend to detest ministers who mingle in politics are also expected to support the Parson. It depends a good deal-on which side the parson is with Democrats. If he is an ultrasecessionist, who, like Fitzgerald, re. membered Jeff Davis and his confederacy in his prayers, he can secure Democratic nominations and Democratic votes, but if, like the Northern preachers, he preached and prayed for the old flag, he is denounced as having dragged the robes vf the gospelinto the filthy pool of politics, > Important to Settlers on State Lands. fp The State land law, as amended by the’ last Legislature, requires that when the survey or location of State lands is approved by the SurveyorGeneral of the State, the purchaser shall, within fifty days from the date of said approval or location, present his copy to the County Treasurer, who shall receive the amount, whether in full or in part, so worded by -law, and the fee forthe certificate of purchase. The Treasurer must receipt for the amount paid on the back of the certificate and roturn it to the purchaser, who must take it to the County Auditor and have the amount paid charged to the Treasurer, Here is the most important matter to settlers on the State lands: If the payment is not made within lifty days the land described in the survey or location is to revert to the State without suit, and the location and survey are declared “null and void.’’ County Treasurer Greenwald has received a circular from. Surveyor-General J. W. Bost instructing him to decline to receive the money in all cases where the first: payment is tendered after the expiration of tho fifty days from the date of loc&tion or survéy, Cabin Robbed, J On Monday night the cain of R. S. Johnston, on Aristocracy Hill, was entered find robbed of ‘2 pair of blankets, a fine pair of ‘pants, and a pair of new boots. Mr, Johnston was absent whén tho theft was com-. mitted,The Reverend Superentendent. School Superintendent John Swett in his rt of 1866, found it an Baucation had t¢ ti one éxreption, the text books in use in the schools of the State since 1863, Brus possibly providing against any ‘costly change for eight years. He says that the adoption of the State series then in use had saved to the people of California $50,000, while the action of tke State Board was placed ubeve suspicion’ from the-fact that it was. based upon tle vote of the teachers assembled in State Convention. Two years after, says the Vallejo Chronicle, agreeably. with the power vested in the Board, Parson Fitzgerald directa that a large por-’ tion of the series shall-be changed. He says in his report; ‘Before making any changes the views of teachers-were consulted by me, and I was greatly aided in reaching my conclusions by their: intelligent, unbiased opinions, Itis singular that in such a short period the teachers of the State should have come to a different opinion from the one expressed to Prof. Swett, but the personal egotism of Parson Fitzgerald may explain this sudden revolution in sentiment. ‘‘He was aided in reaching his conclusions by the teachers,” yet the changes. were made on his own motion; he was the father of the suggestions, although resolutions were introduced through his agency into the Teachers’ Institutes by teachers of Southern sympathies recommending uther text books, In Napa and Solano counties this was dono, and the fight against Willson’s serics of Readers was sprung unexpectedly upon the friends of,ghese text books. Parson Fitzgerald is disingenious when he represents that being but one person out of a Board of eight, he shoul¢ not be taxed with. being ihe author of the change. Governor Haight was easily brought around, and the Principal ‘of the Normal School and the Superintendent of the San Francisco schools would approve of whatever these twe worthies recommended, The two elactad members could be used as passive ingtruments, and the objections of the other members would pass for naught. Parson Fitzgerald. was the master spirit, ‘and the members of the Board of Edueation were simple nullities when opposing themvelves to: his will. However much he may contend that the chatige was not made through hig instrumentality, the fact remains that he recommended a strict adherence to the text books in the schools when he went into-office, not a member of the Board of Education would have expressed dissatisfaction with them. At the time John Swett loft the office the series of school’ books embraced thirty-seven volumes, including maps and charts. They were all works which had been approved by. trained educators at the East, being up to the times in the latest advancements made in knowledge and systems of instruction. Cauirorn1a Winks anp Branpy.— In his address, delivered before the State Agricultural Society on. Thursday last, T.G. Phelps thus speaks of the manufacture of wines and brandy in this State: af The raising of grapes and the manufacture of wime and brandy seems now to be firmly established as one of our —s and. most profitable industries. There is no longer, I am informed, any difficulty in marketing the entire product at remunerative rates, and it is quite probable the demand will increase faster than the production can be increased. Last year we produced six. million gallons of wine, worth $3,600,000, and one hundred and fifty thousand gallons of brandy, worth, duties unpaid, $112,000. This year it ig estimated we will produce from ‘8,000,000-to 10,000,000 gallons of wine, worth Bay $4,500,000, and 200,000 gallons of brandy, worth $150,000, and it is fair to calculate that this ratio of increase in preduction and values will be kept up for years to come. It is estimated by our principal wine duct is. consumed by the States to the east of us, while they are regularly shipped to. Mexico, South America, Sandwich Islands, Australia, Japan, China, England, and occasional lots to the continent of Europe. From every part of the world to which they are sent fair reports come back as to their excellence, and orders inerease, showing that they have a better standing abroad than at home. The Commissioner's Report. The final report of Frank Cleveland, outgoing Road Comniissioner, shows that contracts were awarded amounting to $20,207 60. . In addition to this there were other expenses for extra work, material, ete., whic) makes thé ‘total expendit ‘pon TH ERD song S90 DEN 88 Pha, Sol a xe meérchants~ that one-half—of our pro-. Cost The Alta says: Thecal that it cost one dol:eourit'each vote cast wt the late electio in Ban Framéisco, It is also the eale@lation that it rill cost about sixty cents to receive, reeord and Cogpt each vote cast at the Judicial election, which is to take place on the 18th of October. It will thus be seen that self Government is rather @n expensive luxury, especially if we add to the expenses which fall on the tax-payers or the people to be governed, the money. expended in various ways in the campaign legitimately and illegitimately. We believe that if it were possible to get at every item of expenditure it would be found that the offices cost moré than they are worth. Much of this waste can be stopped_by proper legisistion. In the first place the registry law can be so amended as to reduce the expenses of election down toa fourth of the sum now required. In the next place we want a stringent enactment upon the subject of bribery in elections. A law has been proposed in the English Parliament absolutely invalidating the election of any candidate who by himself or agent shall spend money to secure his own election. We cannot. under our Constitution pass so sweeping a measure as that, butwe can-so arrange matters as to eliminate the power of money entirely from our political contests. Pursuit anp Fiaur wita Escarpep Convicts.—By telegraph we have accounts of the pursuit of the Carson prisoners anda fight with them in Long Valley. We gather the following froin the dispatches: On the 24th Deputy Sheriff Hightower, of Mono cequnty, came upon the track of the party where they were headiffy for Owen’s valley, and sent word to the Inyo county officers to head them off. They were overtaken by Hightower and party at Long Valley, where the fight occurred. The Sheriffs party had two men killed--R. J. Morrison, express agent at Benton and an Indian; another was shot through the hand, and the pursuers lost seven horses, four killed and three captured. /As only three prisoners left the field, it is suppésed two were killed in the fight. The Sheriff's _party-eontinued-the pursuit after the fight. , . A Fortune in Stamps.—At the office of the County Treasnrer McDonuld, in this city, says the Virginia C.ty Enterprise, we saw affixed toa single document $10,000 in Nevada State Stamps. In all 500 stamps of the denomination of $20 eath were affixed to the document. The document in question wasa land bond mortgage, dated October 1, 1870. made by the Central Pacific Railroad Company to Charles Crocker and Silas W. Sanderson, conveying all the land granted to said company by Congress, in trust, to secure the payment of 10,000 bonds of $1,000 each. This mortgage is required to be stamped with Nevada State Stamps; the bonds require the same amount, $10,000, in. Federal stamps, making in all $20,000 in revenue stamps. The value of the property involved. in this transaction is $10,000,000. Wants Far Curcxens.—By the way the San Francisco Inspector goes for poultry he might be taken for a Methodist cirenit preacher. The Bulletin says: Market Inspector Bookstaver asserts that the poultry sent to our city markets this season is of a very inferior quality, that he has already condemned much of it and that if farmers continue to send poultry of a like description to the markets, he will be obliged to condemn it by wholesale. The poultry raisers have not fed their chickens’ sufficiently, and the consequences is that the hens and roosters are not as fat and tender as desired.” What becomes of the poultry after it is condemned? Roads Asked. A petition has. been presented to the Supervisors asking a road from near the Forest House, on the old Atburn road, to Wolf creek, following the old Auburn road; and also a toad from the McCourtney road near Denton’s, following the course of the old traveled road to Spenceville, near Hatch’s toll road, .The petition Says the road has been in use for fifteen years and is a great convenience to -the -publie, over that time’ might. be given to all interested to confer with the Board. te A Sacnamento dispatch states h,} that ex-Governer Bigler is solow that hisdeath may be expected ghyany . press, Mi The matter was laid followings Lawretive wife reside nearthe ‘Hartery mine, between Grass Valley and Allison Ranch. Monday night, @ little after 10 o’clock, after Kayan augh and wife had retired, the front doors of their house were pushed open. Two men came into the house, and soon after they entered one of them fired a pistol. They went to the bedroom occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Kavanaugh, when one of them struck a match,. took a short look and then extinguished the match. The maz who had lighted the match said: to his companion ‘‘come on.’’ Mrs, Kavanangh was sitting on the side of the bed. She had a stocking around her neck, having a cold or_a sore throat. One of the men caught hold of this stocking and pulled her up toa standing position. At this time another shot was fired. Mrs. Kavanaugh then begged that they would not kill her. Kavanaugh was all the while in bed and was not seqn by the robbers. They then compelled her to get them a match, when they struck a light and demanded money, watches, etc., and they then searched the house, obtaining some clothing.— They, then left. One John Glynn or Gienn was arrested as one of ‘the parties, and. taken before Justice Funston for examination, Mrs. K. identified Glynn. in thf most positive way, and saw him plainly on Mondey night. Glynn was the man who hung back while the matches. were beingy lighted. While the case was being examined, the prisoner was rather noisy, and was disposed to make light of the proceedings. Justice Funston ordered the prisoner to keep quiet, but the prisoner insisted that he was free to talk. Constable Williams tried to quiet the prisoner, but the latter squdved off to-fight, when the Constabie administered a rebuke to the prisoner with a pistol over the heud. Glynn was then handcuffed and kept quiet. After hearing all the testimony. Judge Funston held John Glynn to answer before the Grand Jury, inthe sum of $3,000, and a commitment was made out.Gtynn is a baker, and has lived in Grass Valley since 1856. He was a very quiet and industrious bey in 2 days: Theother man hus not been found. ? The Weather. For two days past we have had Southerly winds and élouded skies, and the community rejoices that-we shall soon have rain. ‘Travelers, especially, would bo glad to see rain, and the miners desire a long and wet Winter that water may be abundant next season. We notice by the Enterprise that the gophers, ground squirrels and mountain rats are unusually hard at work on the Carson river laying in Winter stores, and hence the ranchmen in that locality predict an unusually hard Winter. We have had no report from these sources in this locality, probably. on account of the fact that the ground isso hard and dry they can’t get to the surface, but the “oldest inhabitant’’ declares that ‘‘a wet season always follows two drys,” and the time for the ‘‘heavy wet’’ comes this year. The Governor Eléct. A Correspondent of the Washington Chronicle pays this tribute to Newtom Booth: The election of Newton Booth as Gvernor of California gives joy to ali good Republicans. SBesides, the pleasure derived from the, triumph of right political principles, it atfords mea personal one, for I have known and loved him from his earliest years, He was born in Salem, Washington county, Indiana, about forty-five years ago. His father is a native of Connecticut, and a brother of Walter Booth, who represented that State in the Thirty-first Congress. .Newton was graduated at Asbury University, Greencastle, Indiana, in the same class with Senator Harlan and Dr. Goodwin, late disbursing clerk of the Interior Department. He studied law and practiced it for some years in Terre Haute, Indiana. In California he has for many years been largely and successfully engaged in trade in Sacramento: In whatever engaged, he has, however, never wholly abandoned literature, to which his natural bent very strongly ® inchnes. His contributions to the and especially to the Overland » are marked by that curiosa felicitas. of style sorare of attainment; while his addresses on public occaslous are replete with the evidences of lettered refinement.

Governor Haight was easily brought around, and the Principal ‘of the Normal School and the Superintendent of the San Francisco schools would approve of whatever these twe worthies recommended, The two elactad members could be used as passive ingtruments, and the objections of the other members would pass for naught. Parson Fitzgerald. was the master spirit, ‘and the members of the Board of Edueation were simple nullities when opposing themvelves to: his will. However much he may contend that the chatige was not made through hig instrumentality, the fact remains that he recommended a strict adherence to the text books in the schools when he went into-office, not a member of the Board of Education would have expressed dissatisfaction with them. At the time John Swett loft the office the series of school’ books embraced thirty-seven volumes, including maps and charts. They were all works which had been approved by. trained educators at the East, being up to the times in the latest advancements made in knowledge and systems of instruction. Cauirorn1a Winks anp Branpy.— In his address, delivered before the State Agricultural Society on. Thursday last, T.G. Phelps thus speaks of the manufacture of wines and brandy in this State: af The raising of grapes and the manufacture of wime and brandy seems now to be firmly established as one of our —s and. most profitable industries. There is no longer, I am informed, any difficulty in marketing the entire product at remunerative rates, and it is quite probable the demand will increase faster than the production can be increased. Last year we produced six. million gallons of wine, worth $3,600,000, and one hundred and fifty thousand gallons of brandy, worth, duties unpaid, $112,000. This year it ig estimated we will produce from ‘8,000,000-to 10,000,000 gallons of wine, worth Bay $4,500,000, and 200,000 gallons of brandy, worth $150,000, and it is fair to calculate that this ratio of increase in preduction and values will be kept up for years to come. It is estimated by our principal wine duct is. consumed by the States to the east of us, while they are regularly shipped to. Mexico, South America, Sandwich Islands, Australia, Japan, China, England, and occasional lots to the continent of Europe. From every part of the world to which they are sent fair reports come back as to their excellence, and orders inerease, showing that they have a better standing abroad than at home. The Commissioner's Report. The final report of Frank Cleveland, outgoing Road Comniissioner, shows that contracts were awarded amounting to $20,207 60. . In addition to this there were other expenses for extra work, material, ete., whic) makes thé ‘total expendit ‘pon TH ERD song S90 DEN 88 Pha, Sol a xe meérchants~ that one-half—of our pro-. Cost The Alta says: Thecal that it cost one dol:eourit'each vote cast wt the late electio in Ban Framéisco, It is also the eale@lation that it rill cost about sixty cents to receive, reeord and Cogpt each vote cast at the Judicial election, which is to take place on the 18th of October. It will thus be seen that self Government is rather @n expensive luxury, especially if we add to the expenses which fall on the tax-payers or the people to be governed, the money. expended in various ways in the campaign legitimately and illegitimately. We believe that if it were possible to get at every item of expenditure it would be found that the offices cost moré than they are worth. Much of this waste can be stopped_by proper legisistion. In the first place the registry law can be so amended as to reduce the expenses of election down toa fourth of the sum now required. In the next place we want a stringent enactment upon the subject of bribery in elections. A law has been proposed in the English Parliament absolutely invalidating the election of any candidate who by himself or agent shall spend money to secure his own election. We cannot. under our Constitution pass so sweeping a measure as that, butwe can-so arrange matters as to eliminate the power of money entirely from our political contests. Pursuit anp Fiaur wita Escarpep Convicts.—By telegraph we have accounts of the pursuit of the Carson prisoners anda fight with them in Long Valley. We gather the following froin the dispatches: On the 24th Deputy Sheriff Hightower, of Mono cequnty, came upon the track of the party where they were headiffy for Owen’s valley, and sent word to the Inyo county officers to head them off. They were overtaken by Hightower and party at Long Valley, where the fight occurred. The Sheriffs party had two men killed--R. J. Morrison, express agent at Benton and an Indian; another was shot through the hand, and the pursuers lost seven horses, four killed and three captured. /As only three prisoners left the field, it is suppésed two were killed in the fight. The Sheriff's _party-eontinued-the pursuit after the fight. , . A Fortune in Stamps.—At the office of the County Treasnrer McDonuld, in this city, says the Virginia C.ty Enterprise, we saw affixed toa single document $10,000 in Nevada State Stamps. In all 500 stamps of the denomination of $20 eath were affixed to the document. The document in question wasa land bond mortgage, dated October 1, 1870. made by the Central Pacific Railroad Company to Charles Crocker and Silas W. Sanderson, conveying all the land granted to said company by Congress, in trust, to secure the payment of 10,000 bonds of $1,000 each. This mortgage is required to be stamped with Nevada State Stamps; the bonds require the same amount, $10,000, in. Federal stamps, making in all $20,000 in revenue stamps. The value of the property involved. in this transaction is $10,000,000. Wants Far Curcxens.—By the way the San Francisco Inspector goes for poultry he might be taken for a Methodist cirenit preacher. The Bulletin says: Market Inspector Bookstaver asserts that the poultry sent to our city markets this season is of a very inferior quality, that he has already condemned much of it and that if farmers continue to send poultry of a like description to the markets, he will be obliged to condemn it by wholesale. The poultry raisers have not fed their chickens’ sufficiently, and the consequences is that the hens and roosters are not as fat and tender as desired.” What becomes of the poultry after it is condemned? Roads Asked. A petition has. been presented to the Supervisors asking a road from near the Forest House, on the old Atburn road, to Wolf creek, following the old Auburn road; and also a toad from the McCourtney road near Denton’s, following the course of the old traveled road to Spenceville, near Hatch’s toll road, .The petition Says the road has been in use for fifteen years and is a great convenience to -the -publie, over that time’ might. be given to all interested to confer with the Board. te A Sacnamento dispatch states h,} that ex-Governer Bigler is solow that hisdeath may be expected ghyany . press, Mi The matter was laid followings Lawretive wife reside nearthe ‘Hartery mine, between Grass Valley and Allison Ranch. Monday night, @ little after 10 o’clock, after Kayan augh and wife had retired, the front doors of their house were pushed open. Two men came into the house, and soon after they entered one of them fired a pistol. They went to the bedroom occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Kavanaugh, when one of them struck a match,. took a short look and then extinguished the match. The maz who had lighted the match said: to his companion ‘‘come on.’’ Mrs, Kavanangh was sitting on the side of the bed. She had a stocking around her neck, having a cold or_a sore throat. One of the men caught hold of this stocking and pulled her up toa standing position. At this time another shot was fired. Mrs. Kavanaugh then begged that they would not kill her. Kavanaugh was all the while in bed and was not seqn by the robbers. They then compelled her to get them a match, when they struck a light and demanded money, watches, etc., and they then searched the house, obtaining some clothing.— They, then left. One John Glynn or Gienn was arrested as one of ‘the parties, and. taken before Justice Funston for examination, Mrs. K. identified Glynn. in thf most positive way, and saw him plainly on Mondey night. Glynn was the man who hung back while the matches. were beingy lighted. While the case was being examined, the prisoner was rather noisy, and was disposed to make light of the proceedings. Justice Funston ordered the prisoner to keep quiet, but the prisoner insisted that he was free to talk. Constable Williams tried to quiet the prisoner, but the latter squdved off to-fight, when the Constabie administered a rebuke to the prisoner with a pistol over the heud. Glynn was then handcuffed and kept quiet. After hearing all the testimony. Judge Funston held John Glynn to answer before the Grand Jury, inthe sum of $3,000, and a commitment was made out.Gtynn is a baker, and has lived in Grass Valley since 1856. He was a very quiet and industrious bey in 2 days: Theother man hus not been found. ? The Weather. For two days past we have had Southerly winds and élouded skies, and the community rejoices that-we shall soon have rain. ‘Travelers, especially, would bo glad to see rain, and the miners desire a long and wet Winter that water may be abundant next season. We notice by the Enterprise that the gophers, ground squirrels and mountain rats are unusually hard at work on the Carson river laying in Winter stores, and hence the ranchmen in that locality predict an unusually hard Winter. We have had no report from these sources in this locality, probably. on account of the fact that the ground isso hard and dry they can’t get to the surface, but the “oldest inhabitant’’ declares that ‘‘a wet season always follows two drys,” and the time for the ‘‘heavy wet’’ comes this year. The Governor Eléct. A Correspondent of the Washington Chronicle pays this tribute to Newtom Booth: The election of Newton Booth as Gvernor of California gives joy to ali good Republicans. SBesides, the pleasure derived from the, triumph of right political principles, it atfords mea personal one, for I have known and loved him from his earliest years, He was born in Salem, Washington county, Indiana, about forty-five years ago. His father is a native of Connecticut, and a brother of Walter Booth, who represented that State in the Thirty-first Congress. .Newton was graduated at Asbury University, Greencastle, Indiana, in the same class with Senator Harlan and Dr. Goodwin, late disbursing clerk of the Interior Department. He studied law and practiced it for some years in Terre Haute, Indiana. In California he has for many years been largely and successfully engaged in trade in Sacramento: In whatever engaged, he has, however, never wholly abandoned literature, to which his natural bent very strongly ® inchnes. His contributions to the
