Iusi and Tehama Counties.
The Legislature having organized the
above counties into the Fifteenth Judicial
District, the duty will devolve upon them of

The present Judge of Butte county hav-
will be a candidate for that position, we
would caution the Democracy of the District
against being deceived into his support, as
he has used the official position given him
by the Democratic party, to sustain an or
ganzation that has ever opposed Democratic
principles and Democratic men, as will he

Aside from this consideration, however, it
is generally understood that Judge Lewis is
interested in much of the litigation that will
occupy the District Court of Butte county
try cases in which he was interested, or turn
them over to another Judge while he retired
upon his salary He has been employed as
an attorney in many of the cases that must
come before the District Court He has pur-
chased from professional squatters lands
that have been in the peaceabIe possession
of Cinnamon for years. He has granted
parties the privilege Of erecting buildings on
the Plaza, with the hope of gaining a recog-
milton of the absurd claim of his partners in
Oroville land speculations, that they may
compel the county to pay them three thous-
and dollars for it, 1t is understood that
Judge Lewis, in connection with Messrs
Harris & Burt, have agreed with Bird &
Morris, to litigate their claim to lands upon
which Oroville is located, for one third in
Ierest in the same His active supporters
for the Judgeship are his reputed partners
IN these transactions.
We ask the people of the district not to
corrupt the source of Justice by the eleva-
ton of this man to its head, and thus COM
pei the people of Oroville and Butte county
to assemble en- naqsSe and maintain their
rights by an organized force, as was the
case with the recent Plaza operations.

ly of the trade This is sad news to The
Johns" and the juvenile patriots, who are
looking forward to the Fourth Of July, but
ather welcome Intelligence for nconle who
