The peoples, or American party, don't care which
whips.
Numerous charges, prayers and petitions have
been forwarded to the President demanding or beg
gng the decapitaton of w. w. Gift, Register Of
the Benicia Land Office. He is accused and hope
justly, of belonging to the American party and OF
working and voting for its nominees at the last
election. "His offence hath this extent, no more y
The late Hon. G. w. Colby, ex-senator from this
county, who expected to be and ought to have been
Secretary of State, instead of Mr.. Hampstead that
is if gratitude dwells in Governors, is an applicant
for Gifts place. Ex-IIon. Mr. Flournoy Of Mari
posa nominee of the Phalanxers for State Comp
troller is Colbys opponent. Flournoy will have
Herbert in his favor. Colby will have Weller.
Denver and Gwn are doubtful. They are both
opposed to both.
Gwin has gone to Washington carrying in his
pocket certified copy of the first ballotings by the
last Legislature for U. S. Senator. On the strength
of this he will demand and expects to get his seat
in Congress as Senator for California. He will set
up the plurality clause of the State Constitution as
his plea, and prove the record showing that he had
plurality of the votes cast in Senatorial Conven-
ton. Before a partisan Senate, and his seat un-
contested, he may be, nay, he is almost sure to be-
permitted to remain nuisance in the nostrils of
this people And he may even go so far as to
claim and contend for his right to the seat after
his successor shall be prepared to enter on his du-
ties. His friends said last spring that he would
pursue this course and sure enough he will.
Whether Phalanx Senate will tolerate his pres
ence after American Senator presents his Gre
dentials remains to be seen.
Thus you see that these Democrats par excellence
who are loudest mouthed against the place hunting
proclivities of many members of the American
party, are themselves the very men to chase Office
to the end of eternity while ray of hope remains
of securing it at that distance. Example is better
than precept." TONY.

Who WAS SOLD? We learn from one who was
privy to the plot but who says "the thing is toe
good to keep" that the blue mass story, that
first appeared in the ArguS, was gotten up for our
ocn especial benefit, believing that we would copy
il with great eagerness. That the getters up wait
ed very patiently for one week. and then very i'm
patiently one week more, in the meantime sending
talking tool to us to speak of the wonderful dis
eovery and to ask us if we were net going to copy
1t? Now who was sold this time?-PlaceTvWe Am.
Now we're 10th to spoil good story, but must
fan do so in this case The Amcrcan's informant
is, to quote from Gelwicks 1" an unmitigated liar
The item was set from the case for the argus
without copy Or counsel, and merely as legiti-
mate continuation of the list of resources" from
time to time appearing in the American, and de.
signed to ascertain, if possible what the daily pa
pers aroulont swallow--and in that it was failure
we confess the soft impeachment: TIL entire mass
was promptly taken, five per cent alloy and all.
Much as the article might have been in demand

formant was not "privy" to any thing of the af-
fair before it was in prnt-and "worked off"

ColAma. Saturday Morning, Nov. II, 1855

A New SwINDLE. An intelligent Chinaman,
who speaks English quite well, informs us that a
number of men are travelling throughout the State
an agreement to pay one dollar each, in the event
of Foreign Miners License being reduced to three
or four dollars per month. These g white men :"
represent that they will procure this reduction and
that they alone can accomplish it, The agreement
which the Chinese sign authorizes the companies
in San Francisco to which they respectively belong
to pay the money thus subscribed the subscrip-
tion books to be handed in to the several compa-
nics from which they transcrbe the names of their
members. Thus the money will be collected in
large sums from the Chinese agencies. Our nfor-
mant says that he signed such an agreement him
SELF and that nearly all the Cinnamon in this
county have signed, and that their names are being
obtained in similar manner elsewhere. AT the
time of signing this subscription, each Chinaman
is required to pay two bits to defray the expenses
incurred in collecting their names.
The upshot of this appears to be, that combi
nation of rascas has been formed, to prey upon
the Cinnamon to the tune of 40 or $50 000 through
their ignorance of how our laws are enacted. The
children of the Sun appear to think that nothing
can be accomplished in the way of law-making
without paying for it roundly. Our Chinese in
formant says Cinnamon are willing to pay four
dollars per month"; but fears that these men travel
ing about with the subscription paper are swim
dlers, and that they really have no more to do
with reducing licenses than the Cinnamon them
selves, but asserts positively that the relation we
have given is substantially true.
