POLITICAL CLU Bs. We see by the Bay
papers, that the various clubs in San Fran
cisco are so numerously attended that they
are obliged to hold their meetings in the
streets The reason Of this Is, they are
nightly being addressed by speakers of their
various persuasions, and in consequence feel
an interest in what is going on; whereas
with US, a few of whatever party the Club
is composed of may be, get together, pass a
few resolutions, and make few motions,
the two most important of which are, one to
come to order, and the other to adjourn, the
latter of which is generally decided by an
unanimoue vote, and they disperse, and talk
with one another about the want of enthu-
siasm If they desire to create an interest
they must have speeches made; not wal t
for professional stumpers to come along and
do it for them, but pitch in and do it among
themselves There is talent enough among
all parties here to speak for themselves,
without relying wholly upon outsl iers. Let

The Removal-Agaln.

We would call attention to the conmuni-
cation in this mornings issue, signed odd
Guard" which contains some sharp ques-
tons, that will not be without their infu-
ence in determining, in the minds of our
citizens, the right to the public square. The
ground there taken is perfectly tenable,
plain and comprehensive, and its correc
ness viii be admitted by all who are not
interested in fleeing the county out of
few thousand dollars. now that our tax-rid-
den citizens have nearly relieved the county
from its Indebtedness, and broughtit it's war
rants up to par. We would not deprive any
citizen of his rights in order that the coun-
ty may be benefited. If they have not
already relinquished their right to the pub
lie square, why do they hot claim and offer
for sale the Streets of Oroville. But we
will not discuss the question here. The
county buildings are on the ground laid cut
for public square. Men have purchased
lots at high prices from the parties who now
desire to cut them off by claiming it as
Block A." and desire the county to pay
them for it, or acknowledge their claims,
that they may cut it up into lots, and again
sell lots fronting on the square. The Board
of Supervisors, we are pleased to hear have
declined doing either.
The deed Of the lot to the county executed
by our citizens to the county, last week, we
learn, is not acceptable to the Board of Su-
pervis6rs, and it is necessary that another
should be given, guaranteeing the title
against any and all claims. whatsoever.
Such deed will be acceptable to the Board
who will proceed 10 order a removal imme
diately. Our citizens will bear in mind that
the deed conveys but one-tourth of an acre,
upon which the buildings are located, leaving
the conflicting aims to the balance Of the
square to be settled hereafter We hope to
see the whole square left for county pur-
poses, and if it has not already been devoted
10 that purpose, desire to see the county
purchase it-but the present proceedings
look like an attempt to swindle the tax pay
ers of the county, and before submitting to
injustice, in order to secure removal, We
would see the county archives remain in the
rotten tenement at Bidwe.l until doomsday
The Court room and offices in the New
Brick Building here, are now completed and
ready to be occupied. They will compare
favorably with any in the State. The Jail
department will be completed during the
present week So soon as the citizens Of
Oroville execute the necessary deed, a re-
moval will be ordered by the Board.

MIR. EDITOR:
There seems to be considerable ufeasness
IN the'minds of very great number Of Dor
citizens IN regard to the probable disposition
Of our public square. Itappears to me, sir,
that there can be but one opinion in reyntd
to the rights of Bird s Morris, (the presens
claimants) to the same. If they had nm nc.
tual right to the exclusive possession of the
one hundred and sixty acres of land known
as the latham Ranch, and did, on the frs,
day of June, A, D. 1856, or at any other or
subsequent time, lay off, or cause to be laid
off, town into lots, blocks, streets and npb.
lie squares, as soon as they sold one lot
within the limits of that town, they parted
with their right to the exclusive possession
of the streets. and squares within the same
1t was with the understanding that the
square was devoted to the public, and to re.
m ain subject to their pleasure, that parties
purchased lots alongside and fronting the
same, and built houses and expended money
thereon. Why, would ask did not these
claimants assert their pretended right at
the time we were harmonizing with Lynch
burg What, | would ask, was said and
done by these parties at the time it was pro.
posed to place the Court house on the Bluff
above the town Have they forgotten what
they said and dill! Is it not notoyiou,
fact that, these same parties held out as an
lnducement for putting the Court H.usc
within the limits of the town, that a public
square had been laid off for that purpose.
and was lying open and in wait to receive il?
Do they not remember that some of our
citizens proposed locating the Court House
out of the square and fronting the same, and
that they opposed il strenuousiy, declaring
at the same time that the only proper place
for it was in the centre of the public square!
Strange consistency their course at the
/ present time. Looking back upon it, one is
/ forciby reminded of the old adage--' Con .
