Nor So.-The Beacon states that Mr. Street
announced himself, while in Red Bluffs as a
candidate for State Senator. Mr.. Street informs
US that this is a mistake. He is not a candidate
for the position alluded to- Courier of the I4h
Mr.. Street informs us that he did not mean to
be understood as being positively out of the
field. He would be pleased to have the nomina-
ton for Senator but inasmuch as it had been
generally conceded that Tehama or Colusa was
mean to enter the field positively and formally
He merely wished the nomination in the event
that the lower counties should determine to
select nominee from Shasta County So that
while he is not unqualifedly candidate, neith-
er is he peremptorily withdrawn from the field.

SKURB.-We give another poetical effusion
from "Skurb." Skurbp don't like the word
gotten" He kicks it, cuffs it, spits upon it,
and stamps it in the mud, as if it were the most
hl-begotten word in the language, and wasn't
recognized by Noah Webster's "Unabridcedn
as the perfect participle of ''get" By the way,
ifyou hate ''gotten" so decidedly, what are your
views relative to "gat?' or " git?" or git up
and git?n

cognized the Liberal Government, and undoubt-
edly greatly got the better of the French and
English representatives, in thus securing the
friendship of the new Government

Serious stabbing and shooting Affairs.

On the 18th, on Middle Creek, S. ]. Nutter
stabbed A. Anderson in the groin and bowels
They had been partners in mining, and fell out
in making settlement Mr.. Nutter is now in
Jail. DR.. Bates informs US that the wounds are
quite serious.
On Thursday evening, at the lower part of
Shasta, W. Schierman was stabbed in the shoul-
der by the wife of another gentleman. We un-
derstand the cause of the stabbing was the ap-
plication of disreputabe epithet to the lady.
The wound, which was dressed by Dr. Bates, is
not very serious.
On yesterday morning. at Whisky Creek, Ben.
Mix was shot in the groin by W. Sparks. 1t ap-
pears that Sparks, some time since, had erected
corral on portion of Mr. Mix's land, against
the owners consent-that some days since he
requested him to take it down, and on his failure
to do so. proceeded yesterday morning to do it
for him. While thus engaged, Mr. Sparks shot
him with revolver. We learn that Mr.. Miy's
wound is not considered dangerous.
The hot weather has evidently put the blood
OF our citizens in fighting condition. We want
it distinctly understood that we do not mean to
use fighting language in any thing that we write
this week.

The Shasta courier., 1859-05-21

Mr.. Streets request, about nine weeks ago. AT
that very time-in fact before that time and al
most as soon as it was introduced into the AS
sembly-a copy of 1t was in the possession OF
the paper that now publishes it. If it was such
very proper, bill so right, so equitable and so
forth, why was it not published at that early
day :? Then there wasmuch talk about it-much
excitement-and a universal desire to see it
And yet, until we got hold of copy, the public
could not learn what the bill really did contain.
We assert, then, that Citizen purposely closes
his eyes to- the truth, when hs charges US with
acting unfair. Was it fair to publish the bill
when we did? If it was, then was it not unfair
for paper not to publish it at that time?
Inconclusion, one argument of Citizen" is,
that this whole thing is in the hands of the
Board of Supervisors. So we think, and so
we have repeatedly said since we received
copy of the bill. And those two or
three gentlemen who were alone interested in
having the bill passed, against the interests of
all the other tax-paying citizens of the County,
will doubtless endeavor to reap the benefit of
the BILL John A. Dribelbs, member Of the
Board, will doubtless present his illegal scrip to
the Board, for cancellation, and request his
brother members to issue in its stead new scrip
| which the County can be forced to pay. Sheriff
Stockton will present his account for Keeping
the jail at the rate of five dollars per day for
the greatest part of his term. The claims of the
two will amount to about $4,000, which the
county willsnow have to pay, if the Board lend
them favorable ear, and which, but for this lar,
the county would neper hare been forced TO pay!
This they certainly expect. No set of sensible
men would have passed this law unless they
expected to make it work. Men do not have
laws enacted for their individual benefit, and
then let them remain as dead letter upon tho
statute book. We predict that the Board will
be asked to do both of these things. Mark the
prediction.
