Ist, jssvey. Friday Evening Nov. 2d Red Dog..++.++ Saturday Kvening, Nov. 3d, 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 —— . are informed that charges have been made that 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, In 1856 we scratched from the Democratic’ Congressiona) ticket the name of Joe. MeKibben, and inserted that of A, B. Dibble.—(Campaigner. Brother Smith, you did right—receive thanks. Blaze, send the editor of the Campaigner a half dozew of Heidsiek!!!!!!—(G. V. Nationa’ 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. A Pourticat Srraw.—Twenty-six appli cants were admitted to citizenship, in the . Sacramento District Court, last Friday. As . they passed through the Clerk’s office, a . party present interrogated eaeb as to his . preference for candidates for the Presi. deney, with the following result: For Douglas, 16; Lincoln, 7; Breckinridge, & Tue Norraers Covyrize.—Judge Dangerfield writes to his friends in Sacramento,
that the couaties of Shasta, Siskiyou and Trinity are good for Douglas by handsome majorities, Burnep To Deatru—Mrs. Moody, wife of . a blacksmith at Ha ty, was burned to dea’ recently. Her clothes her husband was burning near their resid The lady had decowared” that the eiiseoal wes joing to waste, and in endeavoring to quench . the burning mass, in the absence of the smith, ' } is no truth whatever in the charge, The facts . 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 Mort InpIAN TROUBLES IN MENDOCINO. —The Gazette is informed that five hundred InReservation, and have with them some twenty 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’ . tended by the Sons of Temperance from Todd’s Camp, Humboldt coun. white children in Sacramento—1,864 of them 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.” Lancs Cxurcx.—The largest church in the State is: now in ‘pouee of erection at San Francisco, by the Episcopalians of Grace Church Parish. It will be sixty-nine by one Prey —~ thirty-seven feet, ‘and will 000. e entire number of bri in. the building will be 1,500,000. dean Exvuption.—The Panama correspondent the Bulletin says that in Guatemala an mo tion of a volcano, near San Pedro Ye capa threw out a large quantity of stones an ashes, which did considerable damage to the crops and. fields in the vicinity. a SuppeN DeatH.—From the Placer Courii we learn that James Smith, of Todd’s valley, was found dead in his cabin last Sunday, having burst a blood vessel. His funeral was. atvalley, Forest Hilf and Yankee Jim’s. SacRAMENTO CHILDREN.—'Fhere are 3,449 born in this State—87 colored i ahi . CaLirornta Post Orric uS.-Measures have Bocus Tax Couteerors.—The San Juan Press says that one day last week a party of Chinese miners, working near the Middle Yuba Ditch, were visited by several men who passed themselves off for collectors of the Foreign Mongolians to pay them over ihe aggregate sum of $32, for which they gave bogus receipts, These the Chinamen exhibited to the workmen on the Diteb, who at once detected the fraud of which the poor Jobns had been made the victimes. ers’ Tax, and compelled the The Press thinks it would be a good plan for the State Controller to have a Chinese character engraved and printed on the corner of the genuine reccipt, setting forth its character, to protect the Chinamen against villainies of this sort which have frequently been practised upon them. Srave Treasury.—At the close of business Jast Saturday evening, there was $289,411 84iv the State Treasury. DIED.
