'Wb. Senatorial Emtoroglio Tbe Senatorial question remains an- changed, the eaacua still proceeding with its inTestigations, and enough bus been proven to show that money and the offices of the Stat were freely offered members, provi-, dad4hey wed Id support this or that candidate.

T. W.

Park jhas withdrawn from the canvas, and some of AVe'apers think, thereby, Cannes has tbe beat chance. Several new candidate have teen brought forward, and among them we the name of Stephen Field, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, a gentle helievewell qualitieti for the posi-tion. 'But we doubt whether he or a Other man- can be elected as long as the Federal office holders of San Francicco nb-ject. They are bound to have a friend at Phelps has published a card repu-padiating Watrous, and appointing Barstow alone to act for him, with authority to con--volt-Naval Agent Chenery, and Judge Dame of tbe-San Jose Railroad Company. Tbe ray we understand tbe card is, that no contracts will be considered binding upon him unless sanctioned by his agent and his gent's advisers.

The friends of Phelps insist that he is not responsible for the acU of unauthorised persons, and that his cause be vindicated, and the onlay way to do 'this will be to make him Senator. The Union party must be purged from the (Corrupt influences which linn fastened upon or the organization will sink so low that frill be past resurrection. The pitiful derail of the investigation will cause a contempt in the minds of all loyal Union jaen who read it. We agree with the Marys-jrille Appeal in demanding "the withdrawal 6 jtfie candidate in whose behalf the crime KM committed. The Department should be to remove Watrous.

The men trho" have borne the heat and burden of the day in earnest and unselfish effort to keeo the Uuion men of the State together, cannot; sit tamely by and see their efforts terminate in this way. The people will read with amaxement that one of the bribes said to Kave leen offered 1 to a member, to induce him to vote for a particular candidate, wu ft seat on the Supreme Bench It is impossible to conceive of a more scorching inult to the Union men of the State than this." jThe Humboldt Inline s. As a very large number of cur citizens are interested in the silver mines of Humboldt aounty, and Star district particularly, every thing concerning their richness arc more or less interesting to all classes iu our county. We have from time to time published ac-coaats of their richness, upon information verbal and wrjtten furnished us by those who have visited and worked in those mines. StfxnYbf the statements of the more sanguine, were bjf such an extravagant character that we.

at firxt coucluded the reports were exaggerated and made principally for the purpose of effecting 'sales of stock. Yet there were so many who insisted that the mines were rich, and the assays returned such good results, that were' compelled to receive the reports as true. But it seems that "all ia not gold that and wo find the glowing reports doubted. The Territorial EiiteVprise, the leading and influential newspaper of, the territory, published at Virginia city, made a statement in effect that r- ck from one or two of the principal ledges in the region had been crushed, and the yield was lead and antimony.1 The rock was crushed at the mill of Dodge owned, we' by the Sheba Company. The statement of the Enterprise denied by parties interested in Humboldt mining claims, and something ijf controversy has arisen regarding the truth of the published unfavorable report.

We hope the record may prove incorrect. It may be that the mineral saving' process at the miil is i rape rfeet, or want1 of kuowle Ige oa-tbe part of the operatives or it may have been circulated by interested parties for Deeu-lative purposes. A few weeks at most the be put at rest one way or thebther. We are sorry to be compelled to make this unfavorable statement regarding these mines, because we fear other bad report may follow, and the. high hopes of many of our citi-seni and personal friends of realizing a com.

petency will be disappointed. We hope the mines may yet prove as rich in the precious xnetals, aa the wildect dream of the prospecting enthusiast could wish. Valentinx Eva Ball.

He leaves a blank in this community that cannot be filled by another. He bad been to College at Santa Clara for near four years Up to last June vacation. One of his prin- cipal studies while there was the science of music, in which he became very efficient, ne Wll8 a natural musician and peculiarly adapted for that profession, in which he took great pride in perfecting himself. After leaving college he came to reside with us and enter ution that profession at once so honorable and at the same time so pleasing to himself. I shall never forget his enthusiasm in music.

He has often told me that he lived for it, and I have many times thought it so when, in the midst of playing or singing some fine musical production, his eyes would sparkle with that pleasurable soul light so peculiar to natural artists His ever cheerful spirit and fine social qualities endeared him to all with whom he became acquainted both old and young. I have seen him in company and conversation with the aged with whom ho was always affable and kind, and desirous to please-such he always left still firmer friends that before. I have also sen him with children all about him in perfect extacies of glee. (For the children all loved Thomas.) Sometimes they would be playing with bim, at others getting him to sing or play for them. He appeared to enter into the spirit of their innocent amusements, thus affording them happiness and of himself, which will never be effaced.

The iron clad gunboats Chicora and Palmetto State, with three steamers, went out beyond tbe bar on the 31st and attacked the blockading fleet.
