The American Speakers.

Early in the week bills were circulated herea.
bouts announcing rally of the American People,
to be addressed by Messrs Foote, Marshall, Peyton
and Terry, who are making the tour of the State,
in the service of "Ssm" The bills set apart Fri.
day night for tbe meeting in Coloma, but the mis-
sonaries arriving on Thursday, and probably being
hurried by engagements elsewhere, the people
were hastily summoned by the town crier, to meet
on Thursday evening, in front of the American
Hotel. The assemblage (probably four hundred
persons) was addressed by Messrs Terry and Pey-
ton, only Messrs. Foote and Marshall being simi-
lary occupied at Georgetown where they address,
ed an audience of about fifteen hundred persons
Mr.. Terry led off here, with very good Speech
characterized by fairness and liberality and spced
with proper quantity of we'll chosen and we'll told
anecdotes. Mr.. Peyton followed with terse, ar
gumentative and nicely squared address, prefaced
by an appropriate compliment to the ladies, large
number of whom were seated in the balcony of the
American.
There would doubtless have been a large meet
ing, if the appointments had been properly made
and properly fulfilled. Every body wants to hear
of Sam. AS it was every thing passed off in
good order, and all went away satisfied all the
four hundred!'
The four speakers above named are to address a
Marysvie audience this evening"

For the Empire County Argus.

DEAR ARGUS:
see that in quarter of doubtful veracity Judge
Johnson is spoken of as "a gentleman Of unblem-
shed reputation, sound jurist and ripe Scholar"
and comparison is instituted in some respects
between the Judge and his associates, Carson and
Stoddard; all of which is pretended to be in an
swer to remarks of Spectator in letter to the
Sacramento Union. Now | shall not answer in
my own language the remarks coming from the
source alluded to, but will simply give to the read
ing public certain Instructions offered in the case
of the People u.s. Gordon, and the action had there
on; that they may judge and compare for them
selves. The Dist Attorney offered the following:
"The People ask the Court to instruct the jury,
that if they believe from the evidence that Bin
swanger was a white male over 81 years of age,
and that he offered to vote and was challenged, the
inspectors were required by the law to administer
the oath prescribed in the statute take his vote
-provtded eof the Judges had seen him uote before
on that day. he might refuse to administer the OATH"
The words in italics not in the instruction, but if
added, the Judge (Johnson) said he would give the
whole. The Associates refused. The defendant
offered the following "When voter is challenged,
it is the duty of the judges of the election, in
passing upon the qualifications of the voter, to
ceive only legal testimony; to wit: primary evil
dece to the exclusion of secondary, when primary
exists; unless they in the exercise of the discretion
giUen them, determine to administer the oath men
toned in the statute" e"-Refused by Judge Johnson,
but given by the Associates
You must bear in mind, that the instructions
asked for by the parties, were based upon section
% of the election law which reads, "When any
person offering to vote is challenged it shall be the
duty of the board of judges to declare to him the
qualifications of an elector;" and section 29-"If
such person still insist that he is entitled to VOTE
and the challange shall not be withdrawn, the
board of judges in their discretion may administer
an oath or affirmation to the voter.''
Now Sir, as before remarked, your readers can
judge and compare for themselves. Let them read
closely, and weigh each word of the law and the
offered, and say whom they believe to
be the honest man or men, and whom to be the
tool of party. Yours, &c.

Coloma. Saturday Morning, June 80. 1856
That Conventiru,

The DemocratN Party of Ell Dorado assembled
here by delegates, on Saturday, 23d, and proceed
ed to resolve themselves into county convention
The representatives of the Great Harmonious had
a gay time, take it all in all, and we would like il
1T wero not that we have an abundant supply o.
more profitable matter, to publish the proceedings
in detail-not as they'll 60 out to the readers o.
the cear-grit official papers of the county, but a:
they actually transpircd. The committee on ere
dentials reported in favor Of the adoption of The
Knownothing test, and under that opened the fight
democratic delegates from Georgetown, cut of five
bringing credentials from the Democracy of thai
precinct. The other three were rejected, as being
suspected of Knownothing proclivties. MIR. Con.
ness, one of the endorsed delegates, arose and an.
nounced his determination to have no part in such
a proceeding; he and the other delegate returned
by the committee were of foreign birth, while the
three rejected delegates born Americans; he
considered this disgrace to the latter gentlemen,
and if on the other hand the gentlemen considered
as disgrace his foreign birth, he held them in su-
preme contempt; [signifcant applause and final
ly, he had no sympathy with the Kns, and wished
to make no capital for them he would not have it
said that he was one of two naturalized citizens
selected to represent in convention the Democracy
of Georgetown, while three Americans with COM
missions same as his, were ruled out. Pending
this question, little side dishes were served up in
rapid succession, to the infinite amusement of out
siders. One delegate from Diamond Springs had
occasion to call colleague liar, (hot day, hot
discussion, and man might have lied, accidental
1y;) colleague launched out in pursuit of delegate,
latter made dive for COL, and there was pros
pect of seeing Diamond cut Diamond afray.
but the Sheriff was too numerous and the con-
vention went on But, we can not give the pro-
ceedings in full, and so leave the subject to our
friend Spec who in another column advises
the Governor of the affair. The little minut@
given in Specs letter is entertaining, and the
more so that though told in his own uncouth style,
tits an over true tale !"
The convention was finally permanently organ
lied, and early on Sunday morning, the ticket be-
ing full and capped with regular brick (-top)
candidate for Senatora 'reputed editor-the body
adjourned sine die, in pursuance of the act of last
Legislature, suppressing boisterous amusements on
the Sabbath We have nothing to say of the tick
ct as whole; those who are considered among
the faithful admit the nominations to be worse
than we would venture to style them Some say
the Kns were the means of foisting the ticket on
the Harmonious; others assert that the ticket was
framed only in burlesque, and not intended to be
elected. In either case the design was admirably
executed

Loss $4,000. The San Joaquin Republican says
that on Sunday afternoon, about two o'clock, fire
broke out in a Chinese house, in Angels Camp. In
twenty minutes the whole town was in flames The
fire after spreading upon both sides of the street
communicated to the house of C. F. Lake, known
as Lakes Hotel in connection with the banking
house of Wells, Fargo & Co., which was entirely
consumed with every building in torn. The safe,
books, papers and treasure of Wells, Fargo & Co.
were saved.

MURDER. A man called Levi Goodwin, but
whose name was David c. Goodman, was brutally
murdered, as is supposed, by man named Alex
ander Higgins, his partner. The body of the mur-
dered man was not discovered until one week after
the deed had been committed, and was found in an
old prospecting hole, partly covered with ashes
We see by the Marysville Herald that Higgins was
arrested in that city, by a Sacramento policeman.
The murder was committed at Horseown, near

from which the rays of the sun are transversely
refracted with intensity almost sufficient to burn
man to a cnder - S. F. Sun.
Sorry for you, Mr.. Sun, that you're so deplorably
ignorant of tie geography of the land over which
you undertake to shine. John Randolphs deserip-
ton might apply to the efort.] But, you seem to
be given to lying, too. The town you speak of is
not hot, there amt any mountains in the immedi
ate vicinity the SUMS rays amt very badly refract-
ed just there, the people Of the town don't want
any help, and finally, there is no such place, and
the citizens don't propose to have much of time
on the Fourth With these exceptions, your item
is pretty much correct
There Is, however, town cOunty-seat-in El
Dorado county, called Coloma - and sprightly
growing town, too. Rather hot, it seems to some
people, about one of the county buildings; but
barring this, they get along pretty well as long
they're wanted here.
p. S.-Wc DO propose to have considerable of a
time on the Fourth, and the warmest day we've
had was 107 . Fahrenheit Couple of moderate
sized hills near by--useful in keeping out S. T.
