SHASTA COURI Err.
The Cloven Foot.

The Shasta Courier for the past twelve months,
has let no opportunity pass of giving Gov. Well
Ter side rcipe In the last issue of that paper
the editor says the appointment of either Judge
Thompson or Col. Forman, to the seat made va
cant by the death OF Mr. BrOderick would not
give them sufficient importance to make them
formidable opponents of the Governor himself
for that important position.
The foregoing is from the last Red Bluff Bed
con. The editor is wrong when he says we have
permitted no opportunity of giving Gov Weller
lick, to pass unemployed We will venture TO
bet hat with the Beacon man that we have
permitted dozens of such opportu mites to pass
u.s. The editors horror at the intimation that
Gov Weller will not make a club with which to
batter out his own brains is exceedingly anus
ing, not to say melodramatic intensely Hear
him:
Now does the Courier editor think Governor
Weller so depraved. so lost 10 all sense of duty,
as to let any such considerations as the above
enter his mnd2n
We grieve to say it, but truth CO -pels us to
answer, " You bet" Ifyou call that " depravi-
ty,' then we think Gov. Weller depraved. Does
tuc culIOE VI tile DedCCH TctllN luluh lflhl NOS.
Weller will make an appointment that will serve
to decrease his own chances of an electi IN? If
he does, then he must think Gov. Weller po-
ltical numsiaul. Nev, friend Fisher what say
you to a bet OF hat that Gov. Weller does not
appoint man who will be a candidate against
him for the unexpired term?
But" the cloven foot" What does the ed
itor mean by that? Does he think we are se-
creuv opposed to the election of Gov. Weller to
the U. S. Senate this winter, but afraid to say
so? If so, then be at once uudeceived. He is
not our first choice By several. Shasta is not a
Weller county, We think; and between the
Beacon man, ourself and the gate-post, neitheris
Tehama.
The Beacon editor will permit us to say, that
while Gov. Weller is not our first choice, if a
majority of the Democracy, through their repre-
sentatiyes, determine to elect him, we shall not
complain. We believe him to be an able and
reliable Democrat 1t will be remembered, how
ever, that Gov. Weller, last summer, when seek
rag a denomination for Governor, appealed to
she people against the politicians. The people
did not heed that appeal but elected Latham
delegates. In seeking an election to the United
States Senate he viii next winter he forced to
appeal for aid to those very politicians against
~hom he last summer appealed to the people
This will certainly place the Governor in 4 very
awkward fix. VIII not the Beacon editor ex-
plain away that uaaappy appeal somehow OF
other? Do so, fec the sake of the Governors
consistency.

A PlCAYUNE STORY.

One Of the, coast packets (which,
we will not say) was hailed on her
downward trip to New Orleans, by IN
old lady standing near a convenient
landing, who gave the usual sign to
round to and take agpassengcr. The
boat was accordingly headed to shore,
the engine stopped and the plank was
run ont, and the ancient maiden, with
signs Of trepidation, tottered aboard.
Her first query WAS
I" Yc shaiht seen anything o the
'cap'n around here, have yc?"
The "cap'n'' was pointed out to
her. She hobb!cd up, and with
a deeply reverential look over the rims
Of her silver bowed spectacl,s, the
following dialogue ensued:

a RICH INCIDENT. }

a short time since,i IA young man
went to see a minister's daughter.
whose fathers house was near a mill
dam. ...>, ,.,r
1t being the spring Of the year, the
waters made considerable of a roar.
as they tpmbled,. over the dam. The
modest 'y-ut'y gentleman tapped light
" ut the door at first. and received no
answer. He tapped ayain-still no
answer. Again and again he repeated
!ns knock, but still unhcard. Muster
ing up courage, he proceeded to in.
ilict some severe tllu1nps on the door,
which brought the said old gentleman
out.
II SUPPOSE said the younsstcr,
who had by this time become slightly
savayc, from being compelled to wait
so long, - suppose you could not hear
me knocking for the dam roaring.'
"The dam roaring? What do you
mean, sir? How dare you speak il,
this way?" said the divine, somewhat
angry at hearing the young man swear
III his presence. ~. =, 40
81 mean to say, sir, that / suppose
you could not hear my knocking on
account Of the dam roarins.'
Dam roaring again! you scoun-
drel! Have you the impudence to in
suit me with repetition of those
words? Begonc, sir!' ...
My dear sir" quo:b the now be-
wildercd youth, L intended to say
that presumed l could not he heard
on account of the dam roaring;' lay
ing particular emphasis on the last
! two words.
lnsrls or insult! shouted the now
tlnturlat"d man, and he rushed at the
poor fellow with the evident intention
Of ejecting him, but was restrained by
the voice Of his daughter, cxclaiming:
"Papa, suppose the young man
intended to say he could not be heard
on account Of the roaring of the
dam"
"Oh, beg your pardon, sir, I beg
pardon; walk in, walk in, really nh,
well declare The dam roaring
Capital! Come in. That is really
rich -
1t is needless to add that the young
ster went in, and, in the excellent so.
