Coloma, Saturday Morning, Sept. 90, 1855

HEADS OFF The Uncle Sam arrived last week.
bringing the executive axe to behead Richard P
Hammond, Collector of the port of San Francisco
The sacrifice was made, the Majors head was cut
off, and in few days his trunk will be pitched out
of doors and Milton S, Latham installed in his
place The late Collector, Mr.. Hammond was last
year the embodiment Of pure and undefled democ-
racy and mouthpece of President Pierce, and this
year has been instant in season and out of season
in his democratic fealty; nevertheless, the Pres-
dent unceremoniously kicks him overheard, repud
ates him and all his kind. This proceeding serves
the Collector exactly right. He opposed Broderick
in 1858, opposed Gwin in 1854, and supported John
Bigler in 1855 sins enough in all conscience to
excite the indignation of a contemplate admins
tration. The President perhaps is trying to an
noint the wounds Gwin and Broderck have receiv-
ed at the hands of the Collector, and at the same
time endeavoring to apply q soothing balm to the
bruised spirits of Latham who was defeated by
Bigler in the last State Convention.
The merchants of San Francisco have great rea-
son to thank His Excellency the President for the
appointment of Milton S. Latham. He is an old
and experienced merchant, and from his long and
varied intercourse with and among commercial
men, and his intricate knowledge of the trade of
all nations they derive great advantage; besides
this Mr.. Latham many years ago became tired OF
the muddy pool of politics" and will not now be
likely to indulge in electoneering Let Mr. La
than be installed in the new Customs on Battery
street soon as possible.
We have still left a pretty kettle of fish, all Of
them slippery as eels and squrming for supremacy.
Major Hammond can commence the settlement of
his accounts and finish at the end of a lawsuit.
Dr. Gwn will probably 60 to Central America
about the time Col Walker conquers new State
and elect himself I. S. Senator, taking his seat
when the State is admitted into the Union--he is
the best hand of the lot for this business Latham
turning all his time and energy to commercial af-
fairs will leave Broderick to trade with Biger
McDougall and Weller for the remaining loaves
and fishes. The condition of things among the
harmonious" is interesting The crowd having all
got ahead of each other and ahead Of the Major
the ex-Collector will make several desperate kicks
at his prosecutors; the effect will avail but little
nevertheless Mr.. Hammond will not be without
consolation. The verdict Of an offended people has
just been rendered against all of them, including
the hero of Greytown. The judgment is entered
where the trouble begins, and the execution is
issued and levy made, and as per advertisement,
the people through their representatives will dis
pose of all their stock in trade on or about the first
day of January next.
Oh! won't there be mourning mourning
AT the judgment of Sam?

LEGISLATIVE SMARTNEss. In the early history
of the State of Indiana, Sullivan county elected
Sol. Turman, of iurman's Creek, to represent it in
the State Assembly. 1t was his first experience in
legislative life, but by holding his tongue, and yot
ing his friends did, he managed to steer nrettv
well, until one day he brought down the house s,
as follows lie happened TO come into the Hall in
cessary to know the population of several of the
counties, and the Speaker, not having the docu.
ments at hand, was asking the members for the in
formation As his eye fell upon MIR. Tur-
man he addressed him: "Ah, Mr.. Turman, what
is the population of your county!' Mr. Turman,
taken entirely by surprise, said "Sir we have
scarcely no poplar in the county; the timber is all
oak, hickory, birch and maple, with very small
chance of poplar in the bottom" Mr.. Speaker
" You misunderstood me. What is the census of
your county," MIR. T., very badly scared, replied
= Oh they have no senses. They are damned g-
norant set, assure you!" An enthusiastic mem
Der from Clay county Immediately invited MIR. T.
out to drink.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept. IA, II P.

GRASS VALLEY, Sept IA, III Z. M.
Our town has just been visited by one of the
most destructive confagrations that has yet befal-
len anv of our mountain cities. A fire broke out
about IL o'clock last night in the French Hotel
which spread so rapidly that in less than two hours
nearly the entire town was destroyed, embracing
all but Of our principal business houses. The
space of ground burned over is estimated at from
Is to 80 acres $50 houses were destroyed. The
total loss is estimated at S400,000, which was
greatly increased from the fact that most Of our
merchants had just laid in heavy stocks of fall
goods All the hotels, bakeries and boarding
houses in town were destroyed The materials OF
the printing Offices were ved and all the churches
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an incendia-
ry. The town has received a severe check, but
our citizens are by no means disheartened. Fif-
teen or twenty temporary places of business are
already going up amid the smoking ruins, and
measures are in progress for widening and straight
ening the principal Streets preparatory to the erec-
ton of permanent structures.

LoAvEs AND FISHES. AS soon as it was known
yesterday that simple Mr.. Latham had been trans
formed into Collector Latham certain parties some
of them regular inhabitants of the Blue Wing, be-
gan to procure signatures from prominent Demo-
Gratis asking the newly-fedged Collector to ap-
point some candidate to lucrative Office One of
them succeeded marvelously well--havng got near
ly four hundred names to his petition--proof posi-
tive that there are men in this community who like
to sign their names. The utter disrespect they
now profess for Mr.. Hammond is astonishing

OH won't there be mourning, mourning,
AT the judgment seat of Sam?

Quite an amount of petty malice has been man.
iested by certain stripe of politicians against this
paper. Circumstances have made it necessary for
us to express ourselves openly in relation to matters
in which every citizen has deep interest. In
doing so we have limited ourselves within the rec
ord. We have ever held ourselves at liberty to de-
fend or condemn all matters of public nature and
we intend to maintain this position for the future
and will exercise the right freely whenever occa-
sion requires. The brawer and pot house politician
claim as much Some there are who differ from us
and have deemed it their province to make it mani
fest, not by openly and fairly controverting oul
statements and positions, but by underhandet
means. Such men and their efforts are as the idle
wind; their efforts are impotent and injurious only
in their recol The correctness Of our positions
shown, by the fact that no legitimate effort has
been made to controvert them and by the verdict
Of the people themselves.

The New York Herald has the following, which
contains much practical sense:
"The truth is, that all parties upon all questions
especially the slavery question--are all adrift,

prospect of national organization in 1856, ex-

When President Pierce gets the news of the de-
feat of his ring gstreaked and speckled party in this
State, he will feel particularly cheap; and when
he thinks the matter over and secs the ridiculous
figure he has cut in suddenly removing Maj Ham

in the morning vote himself member OF the

JUDGE DOUGLAS The Washington correspond
en- of the New York Herald says that Judge Doug
las disapproves the course pursued by the Missou-
rians in Kansas, and hes so expressed himself to
President Pierce. The high-handed course pursued
by Ex-senator Atchison and others of the extreme
pro slavery men in Missouri, will recoil upon their
own heads. The course pursued has practically
nullifed the provisions of the Kansas Nebraska
Bill, which proposed to leave the decision of the
slavery question to the people Of the Territories,
whenever they may be called upon to form State
Constitution The course of the Missourians will
be quoted as justification on the part of the Free
Soilers for refusing to admit Kansas into the Union
should she offer herself as a slave State Should
she present herself, the opposition of the ultra
Southern men to the admission Of California as a
free State will also be quoted as precedent set by
the South
