Ir is AMUSING to see the ayldity
with which the X. n. papers suggest
the names oe persons for the various
Offices within the gift of the leglsla-
ture. In doing this they are careful
to include the name of one or more
who belongs to their defunct order,
or at least who has belonged to it.
Gen. Denver has the reputation of
still being a member o. their order,
and their papers are careful to give
his name prominent place IN their
lists of candidates for Senator's
Gen. EsteI, of Marin, who led the
Know Nothing State Convention by

WHAT do our Vigilante friends
think about the Democracy opposing
the action of the Vigilance Commit
tee? Did they ever see the Califor-
MIA Legislature more thoroughly De-
mocratic than it is at the present
Session? We shall not urge it upon
the attention of our Vigiliante friends
very strenuously, except to mention
the fact that the Democratic papers
opposed the Committee, which was
so very popular with the people, and
the Democracy have swept every
thing before them TT will not do to
say that it was not made an issue, for
here in Butte eouny, the opposition
candidates announced themselves in
favor of the Committee, and an
nounced that the Democratic nomi-
nces only desired to be elected for
the purpose of hanging the Commit
tee, and Notwithstanding all this the
Democratic nominees were elected. -
