Collector Bronson and the Press.

The Press teens with indignation at the rash
removal of Judge Bronson; and if a Presiden-
tial election were to come off tomorrow, we be-
lieve our New York Custom House martyr
would be carried into the White House, by ac-
clamation.
The Albany Argus, is filling its columns with
the indignant esprit of the press" on this sub
ject; and from its yesterdays leader we make
the following significant extract:
On every hand, among men of all parties, the
last letter of Secretary Guthrie is regarded as
the climax of pettifoggng peryersion and official
arrogance. 1t is received every where among
honorable men, irrespective of political differ
ences, with contemptuous and kissing scorn.
It is impossible to speak of the removal of
Judge Bronson, under the circumstances, in
other than the strongest terms of reprobation.
Since the organization of the government, such
an act of unmitgated despotism, under such
pretexts, has never been committed-let who
will be responsible for it. Judge Bronson's re-
Spouse to Mr. Guthrie fully exposes the hollow
ness of all the allegations against him. He was
appointed, with full knowledge of his strongly
marked political antecedents and position, not
at his own solicitation, but against his wishes
and he reluctantly assumed the Office because he
was assured the President desired it,
All his appointments and all his official acts
had been approved by the administration. His
only offence was his refusal to compromise his
uniform national democratic character and
course, by subscribing to the free soil and short
boy organization in this State.
The pretext that he declined to submit to OK
actions which no previous Secretary Of the
Treasury had demanded, and which disgrace
alike the country and even the vain and hitherto
unknown men whom elevation to power has
made despotic-bad as they are are not the
real reasons for this high-handed act. As to
the brazen allegation of Mr.. Guthrie that Judge
B. had not informed him that lie had appointed
free-solers, and that had he been apprized of it,
he would have refused to confirm them-it is
literally beneath contempt.
The Washington Union, on the other hand, a
journal which but a few weeks since was en-
ployed in exercising the Abolition newspapers
of this City and State, is drunk with exstacy at
the bloody sacrifice; and complacently quotes
the New York Daily Times as one of the chorus
singers of the Administration, in the perform
ance of the Free-Soil DRAMA
The Charleston Mercury, also, exhibits a tall
specimen of "Southern chivalry," by dcnoun-
cling Dickinson and his Adamantine conductors,
and shouts pans to the butcher Guthrie! If
this is the tone of the pro-savery democracy,
let them henceforth catch their own niggers and
skin their own skunks. The North will no
longer consent to do tile dirty work of the South,
only to be insulted in return for its fidelity to
the Compromises of the Constitution.

STRANGE FREAK OF FRENCH LuNAT1c.-The
monotony of the Place de la Concorde has been
enlivened by the advent of gentleman of re-
spectacle appearance who armed himself with
pair of shears, few nights ago, and cut off
peoples coat tails as the passed by. do not
ind this set down as an offence on the penal
code, but the man was arrested, and found to
be lunatic, escaped from the Hospital of St.
Anne He had been to see pantomime, and
was SO charmed with the adroitness of the clown
who shipped off his masters skirts that he felt
the necessity Of initiating him in the public
streets.

Died,

In this place, on the 81 instant, Mr., WILL
LIAM PlTTMAN, SEN, in the 9Th year Of
his age, after long and severe illness, which
was borne with Christian fortilude.
The subject Of this notice was native Of
Chesterfield county, Va, from whence he emf
grated 10 Kentucky in 1872. During resi-
drncO of more than thirty years in Affair county
OF that State, where no was ono of the most
prominent and influential citizens, he drew a.
round him by his many virtues, large circle Of
devoted friends, who will deeply deplore his
death, and minGlo their sympathiss with his a
nicled family in their severe Bereavement. lie
was endowed by nature with strong and gen-
erous intellect, and with high and nuOlr impal-
scs,--and in all the eniearing relations Of life
was MISUNDERSTANDING warm and true
friend, devoted husband, kind and al
feotionate father, and generous neighbor, His
entire lite was marked by the love aud practice
Of Justice and truth, and for more than twenty
years he was pious and devoted member Of
the Christian Church.
During his FIVE years residence in this place
he has, on account OF feeble health, lived very
retired life; but the few Of our citizens who
knew him, highly appreciated his many excel
lenoies, and deeply Spmpa'hi'e with his bereav'
cd family. T.

The INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC
PREss.-The Times and Transcript thus
nobly expresses its position, as Demo-
cratic organ:
eve are aware that there are those
who look upon apublic journal as mere
engine for the working out of private
ends and aims. There are those who
appreciate such in exact proportion to
their power Of subsidizing it to their pur-
poses. We are aware, that even in
connection with ourselves, cliques, d.
visions and cabals, have been vain
enough to indicate that this or that course
would not be acceptable, and even find
fault that we could not appreciate the
force of their suggestions. TO all such
We reply: ''We know you not I" While
we will ever fearlcssly speak our opin-
ions when the emergency demands it
anl maintain that independence of pri
vate interests so essential to the position
Of paper deserving the confidence Of
an enlightened community, we do nn
decm 1t any part Of our duty~to .miDsl.
IN those struggles for personal prefer
ment, so strikingly manifest in the his
tory Of our State Should there be anv
who expect different course, We can
only say, their hopes are built upon sand.
i'hc powers of the influential, or ,he Sc
dnctlve promises Of the aspiring, will
alike fail N swerving rs from our conrso
:ien who arc presented by the Demo-
cratic party as their standard bearers, in
contest for important trusts, have right
to expect our support. Especially,
too, should the honest incumbent be de-
tended from The wanton attacks of the
fact'ous OR INSCRIPTIONS Honesty, ca
paclty and fidelity, are qualities in pub
lie men which should ever be held il
sacred regard, aud freely command

FIRE-About midnight, On Tuesday
last, our citizens were aroused by the
cry Of FIRE 1t broke out in the back
room Of the Old fandango house, on Main
Street. Cur fircmcn and citizens were
immcdi .tely on the spot, and extinguish-
ed the flames, before they had done more
damage then to burn some hangings,
and one or two straw beds. A Mexican
was arrested and examined before Judge
Carley on Wednesday morning, on sus-
picion of firing the building, but as
nothing could be proved against him, he
was discharged.

THE TELEGRAPH.--The San Fran
cisco Herald tells its readers that "com-
panies are at this moment organized to
build a continuous line of Telegraph
from San Francisco to India, cover
mountain and morass--under ocean and
sea-" and that "O'Reily is at the head
Of a company Of practical and wealthy
telegraph men, to construct the line from
San Francisco to St Louis.' From St.
Louis to Halifax the line is now in oper-
alton. From Halifax a submarine wire
is to be laid down under the Gulf of St.
Lawrence to Newfoundland, and thence
across the Island to It's eastern extrerli-
ty. The money has been subscribed to
continue the line from this point, under
the ocean, to Scotland.

GENTLEMEN:-It was my intention to
have addressed you communication
from Stockton; but my late arrival and
early departure from that place, depriv-
ed me of that pleasure. Stockton now
presents one Of the most business-like
and lively appearances, of any city in
California. The streets are being hand
somely planked, and a number of large
and beautiful fire-proot buildings have
been lately erected. The Theatre is a
building that will do credit to any place

can, to whose courtesy I am indebted
for seeing the 6 sights" " in the Bayou
City.
l arrived at San Francisco yesterday
morning. Business is not so lively as it
was when last visited this place, but
the spirit Of Improvement is still on
ward.
One of the main topics Of newspaper
discussion down here at this time, is the
question Of the election Of u. S. Senator
next winter. This uncallcd for question
is exciting considerable feeling, and |
am proud to see that the Times &
Transcript-the ablcst Democratic Jour
nal in California; taken decided
ground against bringing on the election.
am satisfied that the movement is
made by a clique for the purpose of
hosting some gentleman into the Office,
whose pretensions mag not be equal to
the office he wishes to Gil. 1t is time
that the peoplc-ah, the people should
frown down all such clique movements.
AS far as old Tuolumne is concerned, I
feel justified, from my knowledge of the
sentiment of the democracy up there
that the election of Z. S. Senator this
winter will not meet with the approval
Of one tenth Of It's citizens. Precedent
may be introduced as Justification of
the election, but no present exigency
requires such step to be taken, and it
is to be hoped, that the people will be
consulted, before that election viii be
brought en-. Let the question be fully
and thoroughly discussed in our elections
next fall, ana the wishes of the people
be then carried out. Yoa will and a NUM-
