Ed. TiMEs:--The noted Jas. s. Green,
the apostle of Anti Bentonism and Sag
Nichtism generally, has taken EN- route Mer-
Ger and Grundy counties, and is to canvass
adjoining counties. He was heralded in
with great flourish of trumpets, as the
great Know Nothing killer, being anxious
no doubt TO add that title to his soubriquet
of the Benton killer"
We were told by his friends "wait till
you hear Green, he will use you up, &c."
Well, we have heard him, and it is the de-
liberate opinion oil many, that he benefits the
American party by his speaking wherever
he goes. Heretofore we have had some
speeches here from Gov. King, Hall, Gar
denhire, Birch, Lindley, Bowman and 9TH
ers, that were instructive and worth listen
ing to, and supposed from the blowing and
striking made for Green, that he was "some
great one" whose power and eloquence
would overtop anything that ever came
along. His whole effort consisted of abuse
of the American party, and laudation Of
"furriners." He had very little to say Of
his parly's platform, and its national candid
ate; made no allusion TO the State ticket, but
endeavored to create the impression that
the Democracy were unit; told few poor
anecdotes in a poor style. He made the
charge, so often refuted, that the American
party were responsible for electing Speaker
Banks. His speech kere was failure
wishy washy, no backbone about it; in fac
a re-hash Of the stale and ignorent charge.

pose the doctrine that "Americans shall rule

The County Election.

To THE ED IToR OF THE TImEs:-
begin to hear some CONVERSE
ton in relation to the election. Some bets are
reported, and some talk is being had, which,
in my judgment, looks one way and rows
the other. Without participating, in any
way, in the excitement, can but think the
election Of Messrs. WOODS and TALBOT,
certain. Mr.. WooDs, believe, will lead
both tickets. He has always been Wing,
and being wholly unobjectionable, will re-
ceive the Wing vote. That strength, as
every one knows, will put him at the point
Of election, as the county is very equaily di-
vided. He is also an American, and the
democratic members of that organization
who intend to resist all public and private
efforts upon their integrity, will also vote
for him. The number which can be relied
on, in any emergency, / am told, exceeds
one hundred. This places his election be.
yond doubt, and that, too, by very decided
majority.
DIR. TALBOT has always been moderate
democrat, and has the American nomina
ton. The democratic Americans will vote
for him, because he is their nominee, ant
agrees with them on old and neD issues.
suppose he will receive the united Whie
vote, because he has always been more mod
crate and respectful than either of his dem
ocratic opponents, and because he is great,
better qualified for the public service thai
either. The wings, as party, look well II
qualifications, and DR.. TALBoT's acknowl
edged pre-. eminence, in that respect, vii
probably win their support. There may b.
few exceptions, but not sufficient to en-
danger his success. His majority will b
but little less than that of Mr.. Woods.

"AvAILABILITY OF THE CINcrNNATI
THE New York Post, the
recognized organ of the Radical Democracy,
gives expression 10 the following views:
Buchanan's nomination does not take as
was expected. His friends supposed that
his name would combine every shade of
opinion, from the most decided Freesoilsm
to the most ultra slave propagandsm, in his
support. The most intractable bolter of by
gone days would, it was anticipated, return
TO the fold, and general era OF good feeling
would follow the announcement that the
veteran politician had been placed at the
head of the Democratic ticket.
But the plan, after all, does not work.
Buchanan's antecedents are against him.
The peculiar friends who have been most
instrumental in engineering his nomination
will damage him. His associate on the
ticket, Mr.. Brecenridge, will damage him.
And last, not least, the platform upon which
he runs ought 10 finish him.

Of such evasion. (Tumultuous applause
For my conscience would still ask, with the
dramatic poet
Is there not some secret curse
Some hidden thunder, red with immortal wrath,
To blast the wretch who owes his greatness
To his county's rlfin2
In the language of the lamented immortal
Clay--"I had rather be right than be Pres
ident." Enthusiastic and prolonged
cheers.) II seems TO me impossible that
those engaged in this, can have contempla-
ted the awful consequences Of success. If
it breaks asunder the bonds of our Union,
and spreads anarchy and civil war through
the land, what is it less than moral treason?
Law and common sense hold man respon-
sible for the natural consequences OF his
acts, and nust not those whose acts tend TO
the destruction Of the government, be equal
ly held responsible? (Applaese.) And
let me also add that when this Union is dis
solved, it will not be divided iuto two re-
publcs or two monarchies, but broken into
fragments and at war with each other
But, fellow citizens, have perhaps said all
that was necessary on this subject, and
turn with pleasure TO less important, but
more agreeable topic. (Cheers.) 1t has
been my fortune during my travels in Eu-
rope to witness, once or twice, the reception
of royalty, in all the pomp aud splendor Of
military array, where the music was given
TO order and the cheers at word Of command
But, for myself, prize the honest sponta-
neous throb of affection with which you
have welcomed me back to my native State
above all the pageants which royalty car
display. (Cheers.) Therefore, with {
heart overlooking with grateful emotions,
return you thousand thanks, and bid YOU
adieu. prolonged applause.)

Tho Herbert Homicide.

Most of our readers have read accounts of the
affray at Wizards Hotel, Washington City, in which
Phil T. Herbert, California Representative, killed
Patrick Keatng, the steward of the hotel. If the
accounts given by the papers arc correct it was q
disgraceful affair indeed. The following account is
from the Washington STAR Of the 9Th ult.:
Herbert went shortly after IL A. NJ. to the hotel,
and sent boy from the breakfast room for his break
fast In four or five minutes after, portion OF his
breakfast was set before him, and the boy then told
him that at that hour it would be necessary for him
the boy) to get an order from the Office to have a
breakfast sent up from the kitchen. Herbert told
the boy to clear out you Irish son OF q b."
He turned around to another waiter, Thomas Keat-
ing, who was standing near by, and exclaimed, "And
you you damned Irish son Of a B., clear out too!'
Herbert, on being answered by Thomas, rose and
struck him on the neck behind, with his fist. Thos.
seized a plate and threw it at Herbert. Herbert
seized chair and threw it across the table at Thos
striking him with it. They then cinched and fought
Another Californian, whose name we do not know,
Gardner came in and ran to Herbert's assistance,
and also struck Thomas with chair. Patrick Keat-
ing the brother of Thomas, and the steward of the
house, at that time coming in the room, ran to his
brothers assistance and seized Herbert who immedi-
atey drew revolver. The other Californian at that
time was striking both the Keatings with chair.
As Herbert drew his revolver, Patrick seized it by
the barrel, and they struggled over it for some mo-
ments, until the French cook of the house came in
and separated Herbert and P. Kcating, who let go
his hold Of the pistol barrel. Thomas Keating and
the other Californian were mingled in that particular
part of the fray between Herbert and Patrick Af
ter Patrick let go the barrel of the revolver Herbert
seized Thomas, who had clinched him and was strug
Cling for the pistol by the collar, and putting the
pistol to his breast, shot him through the lungs, kill
ing him in five minutes. After the shot, one of the
other servants threw q piece of chinaware at Her
bert but none Of the others interlered Herbert and
Gardiner left the room and the house Immediately,
and the former afterwards delivered himself up to the
officers.

JUDGE JoHNsoY.-Thc last issue of the Placerville
american spits the venom of its editor at James
johnson, our worthy County Judge This sheet
complains pteousy Of his charge to the Grand Jury
and asserts that the Judge attempted to fetter the
Grand Jury by instructions" The Judge did not do
any thing OF the kind. The charge is a malicious
SANDER The charge to the Grand Jury was in every
respect appropriate, and no auson was made to the
constirutionality Of the law authorizing special
election for county seat until called upon for an ex-
preston by the Grand Jury themselves. In response
to this call of the jury the Judge delivered his
views in writing. Judge johnson only discharged
his duty, in q manner becoming faithful public
officer. While he commands and deserves public
confidence, as he does the malicious assaults Of the
american can do no harm.

WASHINGTON, Nay l6- Considerable excitement
was manifested here to-day by report that Mr..
Hunter Chairman Of the Senate's committee on For
eign Relation, had received letter from the captain
OF an American vessel, stating that she had been
boarded by British man-ofwar, and her passengers
compelled to show their through tickets to California
before they would be permitted to land on the 18TH
mus a Senator announced the fact to Mr.. Critten-
den and Others at the dinner table at DeXters hotel
and it spread like lightning the room. 1t led to
some comments abroad, and demand for more vig-
orous and prompt action to protect the rights of our
flag. Should the information prove correct, public
opinion and Congress will force our backward admin
straton to act in a manner worthy of the nations
name and fame.
