REMOVALS. In order to frighten the denizens of
the Pacific coast the Pierce Cabinet has lately been
showing its teeth. Not long ago the National tink
ers concluded to remove L. M. Reed from the Post
Office at Georgetown, whereupon the people, to
show their contempt for the Pierce dynasty and
the little cappers of that concern, elected Mr.
Reed supervisor and followed up this endorsement
by electing him Comfy Treasurer.
Over at Diamond Springs one nj. X. Shearer re-
sides. who is no doubt very good citizen, but has
fallen among thorns by the way side. The fugle-
men of the swapping league undertook to have Mr.
Shearer legslated into the Office of Supervisor last
winter, but sgnally failed. Next the attempt to
elect him at the ballot box was made; failure num-
Der two occurred. The aid of the Pierce admins
tration was now invoked, Mr.. S. having become
fit subject for its merciless consideration. The then
incumbent in the Post Office at Diamond being in
no wise inclined to be led by the nose must be re-
moved, and Mr.. Shearer appointed in his place !;
accordingly Mr.. Noteware's postal head is cut off
but the people hearing of the design went immedi-
ately to work and elected Mr.. N. County Recorder,
by majority of some four hundred larger than the
average vote of his ticket. This shows the con-
tempt in which the Pierce dynasty and its cappers
are held by the people of this county.

Of Justices CoutS--Winter rs. Rir Justice @c.-In
this case His Honor decided that, according to the
construction of the statute relating to proceedings
in Justices Courts, the service of summons did not
confer jurisdiction; but it was necessary that the
note or account sued upon or copy, should be
fled in order to give jurisdiction and in the case
at bar where this had not been DONE the mags-
trate could not be compelled by mdndamuS to issue
execution on the judgment. His Honor remarked
that the law was little singular: but the con-

Cholera on the Uncle Sam.

The Nicaragua steamship Uncle Sam arrived in
San Francisco on Friday, 18th inst, from San Juan
The Sam sailed from San Juan Sept 2 with $50
nassencers. of whom 200 died on the passage
From the correspondence published in the Times g.
Transcript, and received from member of Colonel
Walkers expedition, it is evident that cholera has
prevailed for long time on the Nicaragua route
The Chronicle says:
awe are indebted to Mr.. Henry Lobensten
passenger on the Uncle Sam, for the following in
formation in regard to the cholera on the Uncle
Sam ON her trip to this port. There was no chol-
era on the steamer on the other sde nor was there
anv among the passengers while oD the lsthmus;
and narticuar care was taken to prevent them eat
inc fruit or disspating in any way to render them
liable TO sickness Nevertheless at Castillo Rapids,
some of the steerage passengers were taken with
suspicious diarrhooa. On arriving at San Juan del
Sur, the passengers passed through an old hulk,
on which--as was reported--some OF Col. Walkers
men were lying sick with the cholera. 1t was ne
cessary to pass through this hulk to get to the boats
which carried the passengers to the steamer The
report that there was cholera there induced some
of the passengers to hire private skfs as convey
ance to the steamer.
When the steamer left San Juan the symptoms
of cholera appeared very plainly, and the disease
soon began to rage with great vehemence At first
the presence OF the disease was concealed from the
cabin passengers as much as possible, but the num-
ber Of deaths was soon so great that concealmcnt
was impossible. The surgeon reports ITO deaths
The report current among the passengers aud some
of the officers of the vessel was, that 2lO had died
The death of ITO would show that one out of six
had fallen a victim.
Since writing the above we are assured by sew
eral sources that not less than 200 persons died
the trip. One passenger who spent every day on
deck, and kept count of the bodies thrown over
during the day time, and made inquiries as to the
bodies thrown over at night says his count was
207 MIR. Lobenstein tells us that the Surgeon
said the deaths were 2l0. An officer of the vessel
said the deaths were over 200
The Surgeon of the vessel stated that if he had
had plenty of blankets and attendants, he might
have saved many of those who died There were
forty sick on board the Uncle Sam when she arriv-
ed in the harbor, and three corpses had been
thrown overheard during the morning"
The Times s. Transcript says
Among the incidents on board we hear of one
case of apparent hardship: A young lady by the
name Of Mrs Honora White, whose husband re-
sides at San Jose, was taken sick of fever few
days before the steamer arrived at this port She
died two hours before the arrival of the at
the wharf Against all the remonstrances of her
friends the remains of the unfortunate lady were
taken from her state room and plunged into the
