EMOCRAT. 33 The City Government, Considerable complaint has been made duTing the past week or two in consequence of the enforcement of an ordinance, passed nearly three months ago, with the design of protecting the city ‘rom fire, and providing means in case of fire of. a ready access to the roofs of buildings. Of the propriety of such an ordinance there may be a difference of opinion, though we Ddélieve the most of the property holders of the city were in favor of it. The section in regard to requiring people to bave ladders was worded in a bungling manner, and such a construction might be given it as to entirely pervert its meaning, and render it oppressive. We are informed, however, that the Recorder has never ; hitherto continually bas been a resident of thie ee ne Death of William H, Endicott. The sad necessity is at last imposed upon us of chronicling the decease of William H. Endicott. For several months past he has moved among us the sorrewful wreck of paralytic affliction, and having been prostrated again and again by its repeated. attacks, he expired yesterday the victim of its last merciless stroke. The subject of this notice was born April 29th 1816, in the town of Scynthianna, Harrison co., Ky. He resided six years in Cincinnati, Ohio, from whence he emigrated, as one of the bold, adventurous and enterprising band of pioneers who took up their line of march in 1849 to people the golden but wild shores of the Pacific. He was among the tenants of the first miner’s tent and cabin erected in the dense forest of pines which in January 1850 shaded the hills and ravines now covered by Nevada city, and place, where now his remains must rest until the morn of resurrection. None in this community and none who were before members and citizens of the place but what knew him and knew him favorably. Singularly energetic, he was equally successful in all he undertook, but his plenteous earnings were not hoarded according to the rule which selfishness prescribes as that of wisdom. What was his, was equally open to his friends, and charity never made a demand which his kind, good heart did not promptly respond to. Notwithstanding his unexampled generosity, while Providence allowed him his faculties, he never wanted assistance himself, butwas ever able freely to lend to those who needed help. His amiable, generous disposition, combined with other faculties with which he was gifted, marked him out as one so construed it as to require more than one ladder for one house. The water-barrel ordinance hasbeen in force ever since we had a town government, and we have never yet heard of ‘anh instance where a person arrested for not complying with its provisions, has been fined if tt was sliown he had the requisite quantity of water on hand, without reference to the kind of a vessel whieh contained it. The ordinance probably might be improved, but as complaints have never been made of ils being oppressive, a anneal LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Resecrep.—The special election on Wednesday last, resulted in the rejection of the proposition for the introduction of water for fire pur. poses, The whole number of votes cast were 369, of which 171 were in favor of the proposition, and 198 against it—two votes having been rejected in the count. Namerous objections were made to the proposition, some of which would be fatal to any proposition that might be submitted. Many objected to it because they were opposed to granting individuals or private companies the exclusive right to supply the citizens with water by means of pipes. Others thought the city corporation should pay nothing; that the amount collected from the sale of water would be amply sufficient to remunerate the company for their outlay of eapital; while others thought the contractors should beeome responsible for damages by fire, in case the works were out of repair at the time. These objections cannot be obviated at present. Lad the exact location of the reservoir been given in the proposition it is probable it would have been accepted. The reason the location was not given more definitely, was that the contractors were not the owners of the ground, and had the exact spot been designated, those claiming it might have charged an exorbitant price for it, This latter objection, and others which have been made to the wording of the contract, can be remedied should another proposition be presented, Tuearer.—The Nevada Theater was opened last Thursday evening, under the management of Mr. Phelps. The attendance on the whole has been fair, though not large. Mrs, Estelle Potter is the principal attraction, and being the present Board of Trustees have not consid. ered it necessary to change it. ’ In a town like Nevada, it is difficult to enact general ordinances for protection against fire that will not, if strictly enforced, be oppressive ‘and unnecessary in some instances; and for this reason the officers have usually exempted miners’ cabins and other buildings in the outskirts of town from the operation of such ordi‘mances. Where an ordinance or law has been in force for years, and its provisions aud the ‘construction put upon it known to the comma nity, it.is.usually better to allow it to still re‘main in force, than to passa uew one, with which the people for a time at least will be unacquainted. Innovations are not always an improvement. In regard to the wHolesale charges made by the Journal against the Trustees, we shall not attempt to answer them in detail, ag it would be useless. While we were refuting one felsehood, the editor of that shoct would be inventing another. The present Board may pass a bungling ordinance, as has frequently been done by their predecessors. Faulty and imperfect legislation has been an evil peculiarly prevalent in California. Even the Charter of the city, which was got up by the editor of the Journal during his brilliant legislative career, fixed an impossible, or rather a traveling boundary to the city. As this bungling section of the Charter was amended by an act of the succeeding Legislature, so may an imperfect ordiaance be remedied by its repeal or amendment. A word in relation to the business of the Recorder’s Court, and wehavedone. The amount of fines collected in this Court has been accounted for up to August 8th—being the first quarter of the term of the present Recorder, The fees of the Recorder are fixed by the Charter, and it has been customary to allow the Marshal the same fees as are allowed Constables in criminal cases. For merely making an arrest he is allowed two dollare. In trials, where witnesses are summoned, of course his fees will amount . to mere. The system of allowing the Marshal fees we believe to be a bad one, but it was) adopted on the formation of the first town government and never has until recently been changed. “Tux Press.’’—A friend has handed us a copy of Zhe Press,—John W. Yoruey’s paper— of August 19th. The Press was started about the first of August at Philadelphia. It is an eight column paper, has already a good advertising patronage, and contains a large amount of excellent reading matter, Its several departments are conducted with ability and by experienced hands. Itis needless to say that The Press is 9 democratic papor, and cordially supports the administration of Mr. Buchanan. Hoarpap Goip.—According to the most authentic estimates, the amount of gold in the United States is little, if any, less than $260,000,000; and of this amcunt, at least one half is hoarded by the people. The banks have on hand usually about $50.000,000; the U.S. Trea#ury hoards from $20,000,000 te $25,000,000, leaving $175,000,000 to be sought for among the people. Allowing $50,000,000—a liberal eztimate—to be in active circulation, and there remains $125,000,000 which is hoarded by the people. Porunarion or Avsrrauia.—-The Melbourne Argus estimates the population of the six Australian Colonies at 1,043,000, as follows: Victoria, 414,000; New South Wales, 300,000; South Australia, 105,000; Tasmania, 80,000; Western Australia, 14,000; New Zealand, 130,000, Total, 1,043,000. Lex Surr.—Jacob R. Snyder has commenced . other two parties will be about the same as at a-suit against the proprietors of the Morning Call, for an article charged to be libelous, which appeared in that paper on Tuesday morning, Sept. 15th. Mr. Snyder has been holding an appointment in the San Francisco mint, and the article in question reflected severely upon his official acts. _ Execution or Brapiey.—Joseph Bradley, the negro convicted at Auburn for the murder of Bakeman, another negro, about the first of February, was executed on last Friday at Auburn. He seemed to be perfectly indifferent to his fate, and walked upon the scaflold with a firm step. Parponep.—On the 17th inst., Gov. Johnson granted a pardon to Oscar F, Parsons, convicted of perjury in Sacramento, in April, 1856, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the State Prison. Inperenpence or Curte.—Thursday, Sept. 17th was the anniversary of the independence of Chile.

Peace to his manes. AvarM ov Fine,—On Friday night, about 12 o'clock, some villainous scamp, of stentorian lungs, cricd out “fire,’’ several times at the top of his voice in Pine street. The alarm soon startled people from their beds, and in a few . minutes a crowd had collected on the corner of Commercial and Pine streets, but noeclue could be obtained as to the author of the alarm.— . There are now two prisoners in jail under sentence of death, and reports are current, whether ~ . true or not we cannot say, that their friends his . have threatened to burn the town previous to the day set for their execution, As a natural consequence there is a feverish anxiety in the minds of our citizens for fear of incendiary attempts, and the raising of false alarms, at this time in particular, is deserving of the severest punishment, Death of Judge Murray. On I'riday morning, Sept. 18th, a little after twelve o’clock, Hugh C, Marray, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, breathed his last, Me had been suffering for some time with consumption, and had been confined to his room about two weeks previous to his deeease.

He was an able jurist, a clear, logical reasoner, and his decisions while occupying a seat on the Supreme Bench will bo an imperishable monument of his ability.

Years ago he retired from the ministry to pursue his philosophical studies. With but very . limited means at his command, he conquered all obstacles and year after ‘year has but added new wreaths to his brow and won for himself an imperishable fame. Unaided by government or wealthy patrons he achieved an amount of knowledge that seldom is possessed by the most affluent. He persevered amid many obstacles, . and in his grave added another to the many shrines of Scotland. It is many years since we have seenhim. He was below the medium’stature of men, but his. countenance was strongly marked by resolution and kindness, The last time we heard him speak was as the advocate of the “Peace Society” and the arbitration of the dispates of na. tions. Politicians laugh at the chimera, but it was the dream of Humboldt as of Dick. The union and barmony of the material made them hope (what matter if in vain) for similar concord in the vital world. He died old in years and full of wisdom, with the affection of thousands whom he bad never seen, the respect of his countrymen throughout the world—his memory lives—and his spirit is midst the stars he watched and loved so long.

Domingo Morales, a Mexican, was standing before, or walking past a fandango house on Main Street, when some one stabbed him in the breast: Mr. Thompson, Constable, was passing by at . the time, when Domingo cried in a clear and distinct voice, “Thompson, that Chileno has. killed me,”? at the same time pointing out the . man with his extended arms. Five minutes after this Domingo was a corpse. arrested the Chileno and kept him a prisoner until after the sitting of the Coroner’s jury, . when he was discharged on Sunday evening, The murder was committed in the presence of . many Mexicans and Chilenos, and yet not one of them could be induced by threats or otherwise, to reveal any of the facts connected with the crime. The jury returued a verdict that *deceased came to his death by some persou or persons unknown to us, by a stab from a knife or some sharp instrument,’”’ A Fvsion Proposkp,—The Sacramento Age says thata plan has been partially submitted to unite the liberal portions of the Republican and American parties, for the purpose of forming a party in opposition to the Democracy. is calcnlated that many of the ultras in each party will fly from the proposition, but that many disaffected Democrats will join the new party. We have no doubt some such arrangement will be effected; the greatest difficulty will be to find a name for the new party. Mar. Steamer Wnreckep.—The mail steamer . Illinois, connecting with the Golden Age, which left Sun Francisco on the 15th ult., with about . 700 pastengers, was wrecked on a coral reef about twenty miles from Havana, on the 26th of August, The weather was very calm at. the time, and the vessel remained quiet until aid reached her, The passengers and crew, were taken off and carried to Havana, and from thenee were to be forwarded to New York.—The steamer isa total wreck and a portion of . the treasure was lost.

I, Lammon, is our authorized agent for this city, He will deliver the Democrat to subseribers, and is au to receive subscriptions, advertisements, ‘&c., and collect and receipt for the same. Hoogs & Co. are our authorized agents for San Francisco, to receive advertisements, and collect for the same. A. Badlam, Jr., is our authorized agent in Sacramento City. _ NEVADA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23, 1857. EMOCRAT. 33 The City Government, Considerable complaint has been made duTing the past week or two in consequence of the enforcement of an ordinance, passed nearly three months ago, with the design of protecting the city ‘rom fire, and providing means in case of fire of. a ready access to the roofs of buildings. Of the propriety of such an ordinance there may be a difference of opinion, though we Ddélieve the most of the property holders of the city were in favor of it. The section in regard to requiring people to bave ladders was worded in a bungling manner, and such a construction might be given it as to entirely pervert its meaning, and render it oppressive. We are informed, however, that the Recorder has never ; hitherto continually bas been a resident of thie ee ne Death of William H, Endicott. The sad necessity is at last imposed upon us of chronicling the decease of William H. Endicott. For several months past he has moved among us the sorrewful wreck of paralytic affliction, and having been prostrated again and again by its repeated. attacks, he expired yesterday the victim of its last merciless stroke. The subject of this notice was born April 29th 1816, in the town of Scynthianna, Harrison co., Ky. He resided six years in Cincinnati, Ohio, from whence he emigrated, as one of the bold, adventurous and enterprising band of pioneers who took up their line of march in 1849 to people the golden but wild shores of the Pacific. He was among the tenants of the first miner’s tent and cabin erected in the dense forest of pines which in January 1850 shaded the hills and ravines now covered by Nevada city, and place, where now his remains must rest until the morn of resurrection. None in this community and none who were before members and citizens of the place but what knew him and knew him favorably. Singularly energetic, he was equally successful in all he undertook, but his plenteous earnings were not hoarded according to the rule which selfishness prescribes as that of wisdom. What was his, was equally open to his friends, and charity never made a demand which his kind, good heart did not promptly respond to. Notwithstanding his unexampled generosity, while Providence allowed him his faculties, he never wanted assistance himself, butwas ever able freely to lend to those who needed help. His amiable, generous disposition, combined with other faculties with which he was gifted, marked him out as one so construed it as to require more than one ladder for one house. The water-barrel ordinance hasbeen in force ever since we had a town government, and we have never yet heard of ‘anh instance where a person arrested for not complying with its provisions, has been fined if tt was sliown he had the requisite quantity of water on hand, without reference to the kind of a vessel whieh contained it. The ordinance probably might be improved, but as complaints have never been made of ils being oppressive, a anneal LOCAL INTELLIGENCE Resecrep.—The special election on Wednesday last, resulted in the rejection of the proposition for the introduction of water for fire pur. poses, The whole number of votes cast were 369, of which 171 were in favor of the proposition, and 198 against it—two votes having been rejected in the count. Namerous objections were made to the proposition, some of which would be fatal to any proposition that might be submitted. Many objected to it because they were opposed to granting individuals or private companies the exclusive right to supply the citizens with water by means of pipes. Others thought the city corporation should pay nothing; that the amount collected from the sale of water would be amply sufficient to remunerate the company for their outlay of eapital; while others thought the contractors should beeome responsible for damages by fire, in case the works were out of repair at the time. These objections cannot be obviated at present. Lad the exact location of the reservoir been given in the proposition it is probable it would have been accepted. The reason the location was not given more definitely, was that the contractors were not the owners of the ground, and had the exact spot been designated, those claiming it might have charged an exorbitant price for it, This latter objection, and others which have been made to the wording of the contract, can be remedied should another proposition be presented, Tuearer.—The Nevada Theater was opened last Thursday evening, under the management of Mr. Phelps. The attendance on the whole has been fair, though not large. Mrs, Estelle Potter is the principal attraction, and being the present Board of Trustees have not consid. ered it necessary to change it. ’ In a town like Nevada, it is difficult to enact general ordinances for protection against fire that will not, if strictly enforced, be oppressive ‘and unnecessary in some instances; and for this reason the officers have usually exempted miners’ cabins and other buildings in the outskirts of town from the operation of such ordi‘mances. Where an ordinance or law has been in force for years, and its provisions aud the ‘construction put upon it known to the comma nity, it.is.usually better to allow it to still re‘main in force, than to passa uew one, with which the people for a time at least will be unacquainted. Innovations are not always an improvement. In regard to the wHolesale charges made by the Journal against the Trustees, we shall not attempt to answer them in detail, ag it would be useless. While we were refuting one felsehood, the editor of that shoct would be inventing another. The present Board may pass a bungling ordinance, as has frequently been done by their predecessors. Faulty and imperfect legislation has been an evil peculiarly prevalent in California. Even the Charter of the city, which was got up by the editor of the Journal during his brilliant legislative career, fixed an impossible, or rather a traveling boundary to the city. As this bungling section of the Charter was amended by an act of the succeeding Legislature, so may an imperfect ordiaance be remedied by its repeal or amendment. A word in relation to the business of the Recorder’s Court, and wehavedone. The amount of fines collected in this Court has been accounted for up to August 8th—being the first quarter of the term of the present Recorder, The fees of the Recorder are fixed by the Charter, and it has been customary to allow the Marshal the same fees as are allowed Constables in criminal cases. For merely making an arrest he is allowed two dollare. In trials, where witnesses are summoned, of course his fees will amount . to mere. The system of allowing the Marshal fees we believe to be a bad one, but it was) adopted on the formation of the first town government and never has until recently been changed. “Tux Press.’’—A friend has handed us a copy of Zhe Press,—John W. Yoruey’s paper— of August 19th. The Press was started about the first of August at Philadelphia. It is an eight column paper, has already a good advertising patronage, and contains a large amount of excellent reading matter, Its several departments are conducted with ability and by experienced hands. Itis needless to say that The Press is 9 democratic papor, and cordially supports the administration of Mr. Buchanan. Hoarpap Goip.—According to the most authentic estimates, the amount of gold in the United States is little, if any, less than $260,000,000; and of this amcunt, at least one half is hoarded by the people. The banks have on hand usually about $50.000,000; the U.S. Trea#ury hoards from $20,000,000 te $25,000,000, leaving $175,000,000 to be sought for among the people. Allowing $50,000,000—a liberal eztimate—to be in active circulation, and there remains $125,000,000 which is hoarded by the people. Porunarion or Avsrrauia.—-The Melbourne Argus estimates the population of the six Australian Colonies at 1,043,000, as follows: Victoria, 414,000; New South Wales, 300,000; South Australia, 105,000; Tasmania, 80,000; Western Australia, 14,000; New Zealand, 130,000, Total, 1,043,000. Lex Surr.—Jacob R. Snyder has commenced . other two parties will be about the same as at a-suit against the proprietors of the Morning Call, for an article charged to be libelous, which appeared in that paper on Tuesday morning, Sept. 15th. Mr. Snyder has been holding an appointment in the San Francisco mint, and the article in question reflected severely upon his official acts. _ Execution or Brapiey.—Joseph Bradley, the negro convicted at Auburn for the murder of Bakeman, another negro, about the first of February, was executed on last Friday at Auburn. He seemed to be perfectly indifferent to his fate, and walked upon the scaflold with a firm step. Parponep.—On the 17th inst., Gov. Johnson granted a pardon to Oscar F, Parsons, convicted of perjury in Sacramento, in April, 1856, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the State Prison. Inperenpence or Curte.—Thursday, Sept. 17th was the anniversary of the independence of Chile. The day was appropriately celebrated by the Chileans in many parts of the State. designed by Nature to be the good Samaritan for numberless of his fellow beings on the wayside of life; aud accident located him in this supported by a good stock company, there is no reason the manageinent should not receive a land of vicssitudes, where a brotherly hand, an . liberal patronage during the season.

Peace to his manes. AvarM ov Fine,—On Friday night, about 12 o'clock, some villainous scamp, of stentorian lungs, cricd out “fire,’’ several times at the top of his voice in Pine street. The alarm soon startled people from their beds, and in a few . minutes a crowd had collected on the corner of Commercial and Pine streets, but noeclue could be obtained as to the author of the alarm.— . There are now two prisoners in jail under sentence of death, and reports are current, whether ~ . true or not we cannot say, that their friends his . have threatened to burn the town previous to the day set for their execution, As a natural consequence there is a feverish anxiety in the minds of our citizens for fear of incendiary attempts, and the raising of false alarms, at this time in particular, is deserving of the severest punishment, Death of Judge Murray. On I'riday morning, Sept. 18th, a little after twelve o’clock, Hugh C, Marray, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, breathed his last, Me had been suffering for some time with consumption, and had been confined to his room about two weeks previous to his deeease.

He was re-elected in 1855, -having been nominated by the Ameriean party, and at the time of his death had @ little over four years of his term to serve. He was an able jurist, a clear, logical reasoner, and his decisions while occupying a seat on the Supreme Bench will bo an imperishable monument of his ability.

On Wednesday last a Tue Carico Parry, at Grass Valley, for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, comes off this evening.

To him has universally been conceded . third Monday o the well earned title of the “Christian Philogo. come in and pay pher.” No vein of sarcasm, skeptical delusion or affectation of learning is to be found in his writings, but all—all recognise the wisdom and power of the Almighty and His benevolence in the design of creation. Years ago he retired from the ministry to pursue his philosophical studies. With but very . limited means at his command, he conquered all obstacles and year after ‘year has but added new wreaths to his brow and won for himself an imperishable fame. Unaided by government or wealthy patrons he achieved an amount of knowledge that seldom is possessed by the most affluent. He persevered amid many obstacles, . and in his grave added another to the many shrines of Scotland. It is many years since we have seenhim. He was below the medium’stature of men, but his. countenance was strongly marked by resolution and kindness, The last time we heard him speak was as the advocate of the “Peace Society” and the arbitration of the dispates of na. tions. Politicians laugh at the chimera, but it was the dream of Humboldt as of Dick. The union and barmony of the material made them hope (what matter if in vain) for similar concord in the vital world. He died old in years and full of wisdom, with the affection of thousands whom he bad never seen, the respect of his countrymen throughout the world—his memory lives—and his spirit is midst the stars he watched and loved so long.

Orleans Flat, Sept. 57. EVENING SCHOOL. Mcrper at Horniras.—The Mariposa Democrat chronicles a cold-blooded murder committed in Hornitas, on Saturday night, Sept. 17th. Domingo Morales, a Mexican, was standing before, or walking past a fandango house on Main Street, when some one stabbed him in the breast: Mr. Thompson, Constable, was passing by at . the time, when Domingo cried in a clear and distinct voice, “Thompson, that Chileno has. killed me,”? at the same time pointing out the . man with his extended arms. Five minutes after this Domingo was a corpse. arrested the Chileno and kept him a prisoner until after the sitting of the Coroner’s jury, . when he was discharged on Sunday evening, The murder was committed in the presence of . many Mexicans and Chilenos, and yet not one of them could be induced by threats or otherwise, to reveal any of the facts connected with the crime. The jury returued a verdict that *deceased came to his death by some persou or persons unknown to us, by a stab from a knife or some sharp instrument,’”’ A Fvsion Proposkp,—The Sacramento Age says thata plan has been partially submitted to unite the liberal portions of the Republican and American parties, for the purpose of forming a party in opposition to the Democracy. is calcnlated that many of the ultras in each party will fly from the proposition, but that many disaffected Democrats will join the new party. We have no doubt some such arrangement will be effected; the greatest difficulty will be to find a name for the new party. Mar. Steamer Wnreckep.—The mail steamer . Illinois, connecting with the Golden Age, which left Sun Francisco on the 15th ult., with about . 700 pastengers, was wrecked on a coral reef about twenty miles from Havana, on the 26th of August, The weather was very calm at. the time, and the vessel remained quiet until aid reached her, The passengers and crew, were taken off and carried to Havana, and from thenee were to be forwarded to New York.—The steamer isa total wreck and a portion of . the treasure was lost. Aw Experimentat Jury.—In the Sacramento Court of Sessions, a few days ago, a jrry returned a sealed verdiet to the effect that they “agreed to disagree.’’ They were cautioned by Judge Heard that any future experiments of that kind might be attended with serious consequences, The case was afterwards, by agreement re-submitted to them, but failing to agree they were finally discharged.
