DAvID.-The interior journals are making q loud
call for d. G. Broderick-only to know where he is
May be he eloped with Gen. Volney E. Howard, who
has not been seen for about four weeks Trinity
Journal.
Broderick is playing the part of a mole, at this
time, in politics. He is working under-ground-you
can see what he is doing, but not aim-Sac. Am.
The redoubtables David arrived in Coloma on
Wednesday evening, attended by cavalcade of ad-
herents from Placerville. He was taken in hand by
his peculiar friends, who nocked to his side from ev-
cry quarter. During that eventfu evening there was
hurryng up and down the street, from twilight till
near twilight again. Broderick man met Broderck
man, smiled and whispered Or winked, and passed
on. 1t was amusing, on Thursday to hear the Chiv-
airy Democrats-Mssissipp proselytes and all-des-
cant on the merits of Broderick, and endorse him
through. We couldn't help thinking of the change
that would come over the spirit of their dreams, in
case Brod and Buck and Bgler and Brother Bill
beat the bloody Knownothings this fall, in California
and the Union The spos are already partitioned
for that event. The Gwin-tes wouldn't get a smell.
New York and Pennsylvania would rule the roast.
But happily, it will never come to that There is
national party in the field, and Brodericl and Gwin
may raternize now, and yet have no occasion to split
after the election. They can then condolc with each
other over their joint defeat
Concerning the object of Brodericks visit to Ell
Dorado, we are quite in the dark. We haven't even
shrewd suspicion in the premises. We did have
funny dream the other evening, which we might
give just for its oddity-not that it cuts any figure
in the case. Here is the gist of it,
After taking glass of Lager with McDougal we
retired, and slept WE'LL While wrapt in the deep
mazes of the land of dreams we suddenly found our
self in room splonddy lit up by two tallow candles
Is to the ib) and occupied by politicians from New
York City and eastward. A man with large cane
sat at the head of table on which were stretched
lids and handles. AT the feet Of him who sat at the
head of the table knet an Israelite and along the
table sat the faithful On the long paper were written
the names of those who sat around the table and

rem not of the House of Tammany. should bolt.
On the long paper appeared the names of others
and the middle name of many was x and many sur
names began with Nc. John Of Georgetown wrote
upon the margin of the episte, saying that he would
manage FL Dorado and that the Doctors raw recruits
in Cooma should have no part in the first resurrec-
ton. And John Of Uniontown, and Samuel of
Johntown, wrote: what they said, read John of
Lancaster-If you wish the party to have the first
symptoms Of hope in the present contest, for the
love of Moses don't venture back here till after the
election. The Chivalry ducks are now well under
we have them where Gale had the hen-but your ap-
pearancc amongst US would be the signal for a stanl-

David-Joe Palmer has been making a fool of him
self, and the concern isn't SAFE
He at the head of the table sealed up the long pa
per in an envelope and bringing the black cane to
the floor, said " Thumbs up! wig-wag." They who
sat around the table, and the Israete who sat at the
feet of him at the head of the table, obeyed the Or
der and then commenced singing Few Days" the
miserable bass of which startled U.s. and we awoke-
and laughed, and thought-and wondering, laughed
aloud-that such q thing should be, and yet be-
all dream."
