steamship Phoebe has arrived at Plymouth. She left
the Cape Of Good Hope on the 2lst OF July. We take
the following from the summary published IN the Cape

Her Maesty's steamer Hermcs, Capt. Gordon,
which was dispatched from Smons bay some time ago
to accompany the Livingstone expedition to the mouth
of the Zambesi river, has returned She arrived in Al

from Dr. Livingstone and the members OF his eXporn"
expedition Dr. Livingstone, in private letter. dated

Tn. Atlantic Telegraph Cable.

Intelligence of the success of the Atlantic Tel
egraph enterprise, was as gratifying as it wac
unexpected. According to the latest accounts.
the Niagara with one end Of the cable. had
reached the shores Of Newfoundland. and the
Agsmemnon, with the other end. was within a
mile and half Of the shores of Great Britain,
and the telegraphic communication between
Europe and America was almost complete.
This news was received in New York just before
the sailing Of the steamer. and there is = poss-
bility that the report IL hoax. We are dis
po.ed, however, to indulge in the pleasing re-
feetion that the next steamer will bring con0r-
nation Of the success of the enterprise. In the
pages Of the future historian. the political
squabbles and contests Of the year 1858. now
considered Of So much Importance, will be dis
posed Of in . single paragraph. while whole
chapters will be devoted to the details of the
magnificent scheme Of connecting the tive eon-
tinents by = telegraphie wire. 1t is certainly
the great event Of the age.

To rnre,rn-l,orn citi.sns.

The Democrats nominee for District Judge,
Col r. H. Taylor, was formerly an old-line
whig, but has acted with the Democracy since
the downfall of the Whig party. Unlike most
Of the Wings, Col. Taylor never had anything
to do with Know Nothpgism. but invariably
opposed the proscriptive doctrines of that party.
In the year ls55-the same year in which Judge
Searls was elected on the K. N. ticket-Col.
Taylor, though not then candidate for Office,
stump,d Sierra county for the Democratic tick
ct. aud stood up manfully for the rights Of for
eign-bOrn citizens. Col. Taylor and Judge
Searls ere now opposing candidates for for the
same ONCE, and we desire fereign-born citizens
to reflect which of the two is more worthy OF
their support Will you vote for Judge SeaIls
who took advantage of the temporary furore
against foreigners, to ride into Office, OF will
you vote Cor the man whs stood up fer your
rights at time when it was popular TO join in
the cru'ade against yOut II you are net un-
grateful. answer the question TO day at the
polls, BY depositing your votes for Col. X. L..
Taylor. Stand firmly by the man who sustain
ed your rights in time of need. and should the
clouds lower again upon your political rights,
you will not lack friends to advocate your
cause. Prove BY your votes to-day, that you
are not ungrateful.

working hard to defeat the Democrat candi

candidate, Baldwin,. Park IL perfectly cUnrist-
ent with what he Said III the K publican State
Convention, when Ae declar,d that he would
prefer supporting Lec"mptOnlte to n Douglas
Iuan for Office, because he believed that the Le-
compton doctrine apprOxiinated much nearer 10
the Republican creed than dld tue Douglas doc
trine HIS wing Of the Republican party, thei e.

OH the ground that that party ought to be sup

the principle of the Kahsas Nctraska BIll-a
principle against which the Republicans have
always contended. and which they must over
throw. in Mr.. Parks view of the case, in order
to establish in its place their own doctrine.
Mr.. Shaf;sr, If We mistake not, WAS once the
A6oIIien candidate for GuvG.:er In the State OF
Vermont. aud was there known as u rank and
full-nedged AbOltiOnist. for years Mr.. Park
10 so strong in his opposition to slavery that We
question very much ii he is not q pretty good
Aboliticnist himself. II is entirely proper that
such arm should support the Administration
in its LeeOmpton Antl-Nebraska policy. Talk
about Douglas men fraternizing with Rapubli-
cans, when here you have the strongest Repub-
lican in the State, and an out-and. out Abolition
list leading on their forces in the support of
your Administration candidate for Supreme
Judge, and for all We know, the whole Lecomp-

Look Out for sDurious Tickets.

Voters will do well to be on their guard
against being imposed upon by spurious tick
cts. Examine your tickets closely, and see that
the names are the same as those in the regular
Democratic ticket at the head Of this column.
Desperate efforts will be made to-day to defeat
Msssrs. Belden and Chase. and for that purpose
tickets have been printed, closely resembling
the Popular Sovereignty ticket with the name
of G. Wilson Hill in place of David Belden and
c. J. Lansing in place of S. II. Chase. The OBJ
jcct is to deceive unwary voters. and defeat one
or more Of our candidates. Once more We say
to our friends, scan your tickets closely, and
see that every name is right before you deposit
your ballots. The cause Of the Lecomptonites
is SO desperate IN shis county that they would
consider defeat of one of our candidates as
victory for themselves Let them not accomplish
their object through the carelessness Of Popu-
lar Sovereignty Democrats.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-01

THE COUNTY JUDGEsHIP.-lt is openly assert
ed that the Lecomptonites design to quietly
drop their eand date for County Judge, II. NJ.
keore. and vote for e. W. Hill, the independ.
ent candidate. They cannot certainly have
much confidence in their own candidate. Moore
was elected delegate TO the late County Con
vcntion a. n Douglas Democrat, but on being
elected President Of the Convention. he bstray-
ed his own party. and announced himself as oil
English compromise man, and after the split in
the Convention, was reward d by the nOmina-
zion for County Judge. The LecOmp,onio s
know full well that the man who will betray
their opponents will betray them il occasion
requires. and we are not surprised that hun
dreds of that party refuse 70 support their nom
inee for County Judge.
The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-01

Poor FELLOws.-During his speech on Sat-
urday evening, Mr.. Latham drew dismal pic
ture Of the distressed condition OF the Federal
officers in California. and said that their pay
was 70 small that il was barely sufficient to
keep soul and body together. Until quite re-
Gently, the pay Of these officers has ranged all
the way from ten thousand dollars year down
to five dollars . day. During the late session
of Congress Mr.. BrOderisk succeeded in getting
ii cut down twenty-five per cent, which partly
accounts for the howl which the Federal organs
ret up against that gentleman. Their pay now
ranges from seven thousand i've hundred dol
lars year, to three dollars aud q half day,
which they receive for doing almost nothing
aud which comes out Of the pockets Of the peo-
pie. The poor fellows are indeed TO be pitied.
Hereafter they will not be able to do half ~
much towards carrying primary elections as
they have done heretofore. for their numbers
have been reduced and the remainder are de-
prived Of one fourth Of the necessary primary
election sinews As soon as the election is over,
aud Mr. Latham is disengaged we should rec
ommend that he be sent through the mining
counties to collect subscriptions to relieve the
pecuniary necessities of the Federal officers Of
this State. The deplorable and destitute con-
dtion Of these officials proves the old adsge.

A CIRCULAR. printed in the German language.

A CIRCULAR. printed in the German language.
and signed by Julius Korn, Port-warden OF San
Francisco, has been extensively circulated in
this section within the past day or two. Mr.
Korn informs his German friends, that Judge
Baldwin is opposed to Sunday law, and if
elected will decide one unconstitutional and
that Judge Currey will decide similar law
It is somewhat singular that
the man who was most active last winter in
getting signatures fol a Sunday law petition.
in this town, was the same that took upon him
self the responsibility of circulating Mr.. Korn's
circular. The statements, in regard to the
opinions of the candidates for Supreme Judge.
circulated as they are on the eve of the rlrc
ton, cannot bc relied On. The individuals who
paid for the printing of the Korn circular might
as well have thrown the.r money into the Bay
of San Fraucisco. 1t will not make vote Tor

THE STATE SEHAToRsHIr.-Vo should re-
member that G. J. Lansing, the Lccompton
nominee for State Senator, has been a member
sf almost every party and fraction of party
that has existed in the county; that at one time
he professed TO he an enthusiastic sdmirer Of
David c. Broderick, and at another. without
any conceivable cause for change. except All
anticipated change OF public opinion, he bitter
ly deEonnces that gentleman; one day he is
regarded as man of extreme northern senti-
ments, and the next he becomes peculiarly
sound on the nigger question. He evidently
has no fixed political principles. and cannot be
depended upon. On the contrary, S. II. Chase
has always been q true. consistent, and life
long Democrat, firmly adhering to the princi-
Piles Of the party, man Of talent and OF infiex-
ible integrity. He has been tried and not
found wanting. If she people of Nevada coun-
ty desire to be properly represented in the
State Senate, they will east their votes for S.
II. Chase.

The Nevada Democrat., 1858-09-01

JUDGE SEARLs.-The Grass Valley organ. in
speaking of the course Of the Democrat and Jour
nal towards Judge Searls says:
But a few weeks since the Democrat spoke OF Judge
Searl in the highest terms and said in Of his being
candidate for District Judge that would be folly for
any man to run against him.
Some three weeks ago we spoke Of Judge
Searls. as having made popular Judge, but
never said or intimated that it would be folly
for any man TO run against him. At that time
Il was not supposed that Judge Searls would
permit his name TO be used as candidate in
fact, we had heard him so express himself, and
in view Of the uncertainty Of the successful can
didate being entitled to the oniee. we stated
that il was not probable any candidate would
be run against the present incumbent. We
have had nothing to say about the political sum-
mersaults which Judge Srarls has made within
the past few years. He has certainly been as
consistent as a majority Of the candidates now
running on the LecOmpton ticket, which is say
ing but little in his favor. But aside from his
political course, Judge Sesrls is peculiarly OBJ
j ctiOnable to us as Judge. When the Vigil
ance Committee excitement Was raging, two
years ago, he chimed in with the excitement Of
the day, aud carried the weight OF his influence
as Judge, in favor Of that reasonable organ
ization. A man so easily carried off by such n
m"meHtary excitement, is not possessed of
sufficiently we'll BALANCED mind to qualify hun
for high judicial station. A Judge, ef all 9TH
ere. should be man who can look calmly and
coolly. and without prejudice or passion. upon
the passing events Of the day.
