Pay tux Devr.—Among the questions
submitted toa vote of the people at the
comicg election, is that of paying the equitable debt of $150,000 against the State.
By the act of the Legislature of 1857, subsequently approved by the people, the outstanding indebtedness, which had been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court, was funded to the amount of $3,900,000, But it was afterwards ascertained
that this amount was not sufficient to cover
the entire indebtedness into about $150,000,
and the question is now submitted to the
people whether or not they will pay the latter sum. Those wishing to have the debt
paid, must vote a ticket with the words
“Pay the Debt,” either written or printed
upon it; those opposed to paying it must
have the words ‘‘Repudiate the Debt,’’ on
their ticket. The words ‘‘Pay the Debt”
will be printed on the Douglas ticket of
this county, and we presume upon the tickets of other parties. The debt is just, and
wo trust there will be a unanimous vote in
this county in favor of paying it,
Taararcars iy Wasnok—A gentleman
just over from Washoe, informs us that a
Jarge and elegant theater has lately been
erected at Silver City, and a theatrical
company organized under the management
of Mr. and Mrs, Fairbank, The stock company is made up entirely of home talent,
and consists of little Miss Pollock, Henry
Herbert, John Eagan, John Fritz, Vanderhoof and others, The theater was opened
for the first time last Tuesday evening, on
which occasion the thrilling drama of the
“Miser and his Sevea Clerks’? was presented toa crowded house, Weare informed
that the actors, though they had had but
little practice at the business, acquitted
themselves admirably, The evening’s entertainment concluded with a side-splitting
farce. Messrs, Herbert and Eagan, and we
believe Fritz and Vanderhoof, were formerly of Nevada county, and our readers
will be pleased to learn that they are likely
to become theatrical stars of the first magnitude.
Anrivan or Tae Uncus Sam.—The mai)
steamer Uncle Sam arrived at San Francisco, from Panama, at six o’clock last Saturday evening, withthe New York mails and
papers of October Ist, There being no
Sunday -boat, the mail for the interior did
not leave San Francisco until Monday
morning, and will arriveat Nevada this
evening.
Last RauLy Berore Execrion.—Msgsree,
J, R. McConnell, J. C. Palmer, and other
speakers will address the people of Nevada
and vicinity next Monday evening, The
meeting will be held at the corner of Broad
and Pine streets, under the Douglas flag.
PourricaL Mretinas.—Messrs. Belden,
Garber and Palmer will address the people
at Moore’s Flat next Friday evening. On
Savurday evening, Messrs, Belden, Garber
and Caldwell will.speak at Washington,
and Mr, Palmer at Omega.
i
The Vote of Nevada County.
A gentleman who bas traveled considera
bly over this eounty within the past two
months, and Who is, perfiaps, as competent
to judge of the sentiments of the people as
any man in the county, has furnished us
the following estimate of the vote at the .
Presidential election.
Iu the townsbips of Eureka, Bloomfield
and Bridgeport, known as “the Ridge,” the .
vote will be about even between Douglas
and Breckinridge, while Douglas will have
100 more than Lincoln. In Washington .
township, Douglas will beat Lincoln 200, .
and Breckinridge 100. Ia Nevada, Douglas will lead Breckimridge 500 votes and
Lincoln 400. In Little York, Lincoln will .
receive 100 more votes than Douglas, and
Doug!as 50 more than Breckinridge. In
Grass Valley, the vote will be about even
between Lincoln and Breckioridge, and
Douglas will lead them 300. In Rough &
Ready Breckinridge will probably be 50
votesiahead of Douglas, aad Douglas 100
ahead of Lincoln.
This estimate would give Donglas 900
more votes in the county than Breckinridge,
and 1,000 more than Lincolu. The majority for Douglas is somewhat less than we
have heretofore estimated ; but our informant ia well posted, and his figures may
prove to be nearer correct than our own.
Itis now conceded by sii parties that
Douglas will have a majority in the county;
the only question is, as to how large that
majority will be?
The contest for State Senator is confessedly between Watt and Phil. Moore. The
Breckinridgers are making a desperate effort to elect Moore, and seem to have abandoned all hope of elesting any other candidate on their county ticket. The Bell and

AppoiNTMeNT or James MARRIOTT— .
Some five or six months ago, Mr. James Marriott was appointed Justice of the Peace for
Bloomfield township, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Justice Denison. Mr.
Marriott is a candidate for re-election, and we
he obtained his appointment by fraud and collusion with the Board of Supervisors. There .
are simply these: It was understood in Bloomfield that Mr. Denison intended to resign, but
not known at what time. Mr. Marriott, being . of Arizona about fifteen months, and has bean applicant, got up a petition, which was . come well known throughout the Territory.”
signed by over eighty voters of the township, .
and left it with a member of the Board, to be
presented when Denison’s resignation should . aisns have been discharged from Mendocino
be acted on. Some three or four weeks subsequent to that time, Mr. Denison sent in his . rifles.
resignation, and represented to the members
of the Board that the cases on his docket required that a successor should be appointed
immediately. In consequence of this representation, and it being two months before a regular meeting of the Board, a special term was
held and Mr. Marriott appointed. A day or
two before the appointment was made, an informal election was held in some of the precincts of the township, at which Mr. Carter received a majority of the votes; but this was not
known to any members of the Board until several days after. There was some dissatisfaction in relation to the appointment, but ‘that
was occasioned by the men who signed Marriott’s petition having ehanged their minds after
they learned that Mr. Carter was an applicant
for the place.
ARRIVAL oF THE Pony.—By the Pony Ex
press we have dates from St. Louis to October 16th. The dispatch to the Union states
that there is little more election news. The
majorities are very much as before reported, and it is generally admitted at the cast
that Lincoln will be elected, All attempts
Everett men have no county ticket, and as . q¢ fusion in Pennsylvauia, New Jersey and
the members of that party are not particularly anxious for the re-election of Gwin, it
is reasonable to couclude that the most of
them will support the candidates on the
Douglas county ticket, We believe every
candidate on our Legislative ticket will be
elected ; but our friends throughout the
county must not slacken their exertions,
for o clean victory is now within our grasp,
and not a vote should be lest. Above all,
we wish to caution our friends against tradipg or swapping their votes, Itis a bad
practice at best. Itis by this means that
the Breckinridgers hope to elect Phil.
Moore. The Republicans are the only party
they expect to trade with to any extent;
but unless the Lincolnites should pretty
generally vote for Moore, in consideration
of # large number of votes being thrown
for Lineoln, the election of Watt is certain.
Tue Poxy Express.—A dispateh from
Carson City, signed by W. H. Russell, one
of the proprietors of the Pony Express,
says that the mail contraet bas been extended to Salt Lake City, which securea the running of the Pony Express permaneatly.
The dispatch is dated on the 28th inet., and
the intelligence of the extension of the mai}
contract was doubtless received by the last
Pony from the Bast. Mr. Marley, the Superintendent of the Western Division, informs the Bulletin that he has completely
stocked his portion of the route, and laid in
at the different stations abundant supplies
for man and beast—sufficieat to last until
the first of May next, for both mail and
Pony Express purposes,
Wiraprawn FRoM THE Canvass.—Mr, A,
P. Dudley, one of the Breckinridge candidates for Elector, has withdrawn from
the canvass, He has doubtless by this time
had a sight of the hand writing on the wa)l,
and is not disposed to spend his time and
money in advocating a hopeless cause.
Non-Intevertion,—Ool. B. F. Washington, Collector of the Port of San Francisco,
and at present one of the champions of the
protection doctrine, said, no longer ago
than May 28th, 1859:
“fdo not hesitate to say that Zam
Congressional tartan with aa
Territories, either for protection or otherwise.”
Warer Sraixe,—The miners of Big Oak
Flat, Tuolumne county, have struck for a
reduction in the price of water. The present rates are five dollars a day for twelve
inches ; the miners refase to pay more than
three dollars. .
IyrormaTion Wantep.—The whereabouts
of Jane Duffy, F. Adams, and Joba My. ¢@°ght fire from coals raked from a pit which
hard, who are supposed to be in California,
is inquired for by their friends in New
Y
Indiana have been abandoned. It appears
that the Democrats have gained six Congressmen in Pennsylvania, Ohio and fndiava, which will render it impossible for the
Republicans to have a majority in the next
House of Representatives. Lincoln, if he
sbould be eleeted, will find himself without
a majority imeither branch of Congress.
The Democraey of the northwest are in no
wise disheartened at their late defeat in
Ohio and Indiana, but under the lead of the
gallant Douglas are contesting every inch
of ground; and though they may not be
able to elect their etandard-bearer, there is
a prospect that the election will be thrown
into the House,.ia which event neither of
the sectional candidates, Lincoln and Breckinridge, can under any possible circumstances be elected.
Prerer Lixconn to Dovetas.—The Mariposa Gazette, a Breckinridge paper, of s
recent date, says:
“There are many Rreckinridge men, ourselves among the number, who had rather,
as things stand now, vote for Lincoln than
Douglas.”
€ol. Kewen, in his speech at the Nevada
Theater, last Friday evening, gave the audience to understand that he would vote for
Lineoln in preference to Douglas, and that
the Republican platform, in his estimation,
was preferable to the Demooratic platform.
His remarke on this subject were applauded
by the audience; but whether the applause
came from the Lincolnites or the Breokiaridgers, we could not learn,

The “half dozen of Heidsick” was disposed of in due form, at Blase’s, at two
o’clock this afternoon. Is is needless to say
that brother Smith invited all his friends to
be present on the interesting occasion.

cants were admitted to citizenship, in the

Tux Uvstaurtovs Gorne To ConGRruss.—
A Tueson (Arizona) correspondent ofthe Bulletin, under date of October 14th, oH
“Lieut, Mowry, for several years Delegate to
Congress from ‘Arzonia, has resigned. Judge
McGowan, formerly of San Francisco, is one
of the candidates for his e, andit is xd
probable that ‘Old Ned’ will be successful.
Some of his friends have made up a purse for
defraying his expenses, and he is now in Eastern Arizona actively engaged in the canvass.
The people of this section have little hope that
Congress will do anything for us next winter,
and therefore take so little interest in the affair
that I doubt if any participation is had in the
election. Judge McGowan has been a resident

This, we are informed, has been done
at the recommendation of Lieut. Dillon, Mr.
Dreibelbis, the Superintendent, taking his advice, instead of Col. Tobin, and others. The
consequence fs, that cattle are being killed with
impunity. George H. Woodman found nine
head of cattle dead, last week, killed by Indians, and many horses are missing. The people think it a gross outrage, after being at the
great expense of collecting them from all ne
of the State, to let them go where they please,
with arms.
Apvick TO BreckinRtpGERs.—The San
Jose Tribune, a rabid Republican paper, gives
the Breckinridgers the following disinterested
advice:
The Breckinridge leaders have never had any
hope of electing their candidate; their highest
hope was to defeat Lincoln, and throw the election into the House. The late news from the
east must have convinced you that even this
hope was groundless. The Breckinridge men
have withdrawn him in New York; you had
best do the same here; unite your vote with the
Bell and Everett party, or even the Black Republicans. Do anything to utterly overthrow
Douglasism in California.
Tue Great Racr.—Senor J. A. Pico’s great
race against time, bids fair to be an interesting
affair, says the San Jose Telegraph. He has
thirty horses now on the track in the course of
training, and his experiments have been sufficient to convince a number of his countrymen
that he wll win, and they will, with their usual
recklessness, bet large sums on his success. If
only courage and skill, and careful training
were requisite, Senor Pico would win, sure; but
150 miles in six hours and a half is not to be
accomplished by care and skill alone; it requires
speed and endurance on the part of horses and
rider almost unparalleled.
How Ripicutovs.—Some very ridiculous
and oftentimes amusing results are produced
upon handbills by the erasure of certain letters
and the substitution of others. We saw an illustration, the other day, upon the outside of
the Postoffice in this town. Some jocular individual had taken a political ster of A. W.
Baldwin’s, another of C. A. Tuttle’s, and one of
Miss Rowena Granice’s show bills, and with
the assistance of scissors and paste brush produced the following singular mixture: ‘“Rowena Baldwin and A. W. Granice will Tuttle the’

Republicans of La Porte this (Saturday) evening, October 20th.”—[Mountain Messenger.
Trey Hate anp Fear Him.—The Republicans hate and fear Douglas. They never cease
to decry him. They now hoot at the idea of his
election, just as they did at the idea of hisnomination by the National Convention.. They then
said there was ‘no other prominent: Democratic statesman, who has so small a chance of receiving the nomination at Charleston:” Yet he
did receive it. Now, they say he has no chance
of an election. Yetihe will be elected the sixteenth President of the United States, ene week
from: Tuesday next.—[Butte Record.
Tue Law’s Detay.—Aman in Sen Joa= county killed hiswife last May, after the
rand Jury had adjourned. The District Court
met in August, but the Grand J could not
assemble till October, long after the District
Court adjourned. The Grand Jury of October
indicted'the man, but he cannot be tried until
the December term of the District Court. He
therefore 'lies in e six or seven months. This,
the Republican thinks, is hardly giving the accused a “fair and speedy trial,” nor is it just
to the public who pay the prisoner’s board and
keeping.
Cou. BAKER AND His Scratcuers.—The
San Francisco eorrespo ce of the Sacramento Bee, speaking of the many ia that city
who rejoice at the election of Col. Baker, United States Senator from Oregon, says the “loudest in their demonstrations congratulatory are
the very same ublieans who: last year
scratched his name from the ticket! ‘Will’ the
Colonel Femember, or will: he reward those who
most virulently sought to: do him evil. Soon
we shall see.”
