The Bugle blows for the Standard.

PrefaciDg quotation from the Democrat
of Friday, relating to the Sacramento Daily
Standard, the Bugle of yesterday uses the
following language:
The "Marvsville DEMOCRAT" in pure wan
tonness of malevolence yesterday made the
| following slanderous, and foolishly false
charges against the Judges of the Supreme
| Court and the Democratic District Judges o.
the State.
Now, in the first place, what We said was
based upon direct and entirely credible in
formation; in the second place we made nc
charges" against Supreme or District Judges
but, on the contrary, we gave the public the
benefit of our information as to charges d
land collections made by the Standards vol
unteer eappers."
Following the quotation, the Bugle toots
thus
"IIow is it possible for man to be so
! blinded by partisan hate as to imagine that
the Democratic party can be injured by Sian.
ders so gross and so palpably fnlse and mali
! cous against individual members of the par
| ty? Cannot any sane man perceive that so
far from injuring those against whom such
outrageous assaults are leyeled, they only in
cite feeling of contempt for the petty spirit
that can make them? But we suppose this
outrage will be excused by its author as be:
ing good humored and entirely Legitimate
pleasantries."
That i such q tune as has been played up
on such weak instruments as the Bugle so

consideration. 1t is a snOppish snarl from
an animal standing at bay. Because it
knows nothing of the truth Cr untruth OF
what we publish, it chooses to intimate that
we manufactured the statement out of whole
/ cloth. Now we reiterato the assertion that
we hear these statements from one who
has q right to know their correctness" We
will also repeat that "our informant has him
self been taxed at any rate SO he told us
and We have no reas,n for disbcleying
him.
We have not charged or insinuated anything
against the Supreme Judges, nor do we wish
to he understood as doing so. We further
more believe they need no such feeble defen
/ der as the Bugle. However high in Office {
man may be placed, he has a right to dc
with his months salaries just as he please'
and what he does-honorably- nobody
business but if the fact of his making char
table donations is made public, he has nc
just cause for finding fault. This is not in

CY- The DEMocRAr says that the Express
applies the the term "mlckeTel catchers" to
Northern men.-ETpreSs.
The above is based upon the following re
mark of ours, concerning the Express man:
We would not hesitate to wager a "hot
rum with the hombre that he has lived in a
cold climate in his day. If we are wrong
he is the first real Southern gentlemen that
we ever knew to make use of the term "mack
erel catchers.'
Can the gentleman deny that he has used
the term "mackere catchers"? We didn't
say that he made any sweeping application
of it. lie may have alluded to his own
friends.

VALUE OF VIRGINIA SrABLE.-The Rich
mond Dispatch says, that it has from good
authority that the Messrs. boswell have been
offered the sum of SIS, 800 for their flley
Fanny Washington, and their celebrated
brood mare Nina, and her three Revenue
colts, Planet, Exchequer and yearling-
Planet is estimated at $4,000, Exchequer a
$4,000, the old mare and the yearling at 81,
500 and Fanny Washington at $4,000. The
sale has not been made.
The above, which we found copied into thu
Bugle Of yesterday. is an i'll concealed an(
very lame attempt to assume a news item nj
a means of ridieuling the San Francisco Gus
tom House. Has forbearance ceased to be
virtue, or will the Bugle still continue t,
publish Federal advertisements "By Author

IRREMEDIABLY MAD.-The Bugle of this
morning speaks of an unfortunate lunatic
who was arrested day before yesterday by
Captain Cook. OF the poor creatures con-
diton, "our enterprising contemporary" says
The unfortunate man refuses to utter a

to the Asylum at Stockton. He appears t,
be German, and laboring man.

Teuton's insanity is, that when asked by al
officious electioneerer who he intended t,
vote for, for Mayor, he replied-"Tompkins ?

STREET REPAIRs.--We are sorry we gave
the Express SO much labor on this subject,
10y our suggestion that after streets had been
once graded and graveled by property own
ers, the city should keep them in good re
pair, at the expense of the community gen
orally. We would inform them that the
Council has failed TO agree with the PROPOSE
tion, as wiffappear by Aid. Stokes commu
nication to day. The Express will. we trust
have no further pains upon the subject. The
streets are used by all, and it is a matter oi
general interest that they should be kept
passable Whatever mode may be deemed
best, for the accomplishment of this object
by the city Council, now and hereafter, vii
probably be acceptable to us. Meanwhile
we wish the Express to understand that W,

gestion we made. and furthermore, weas-ev
crate that no "Broderick caucus" has beer
held upon the subject.

The DRAMA IN STocKToN.-The Argus in
forms us that the Legitimate drama" is and

the histrionic art among the denizens of the
insane city. Good idea.

THE PANAMA RAMRoAD.-The President OF
this road states that of all the freight trans.
ported over it, not more than one tenth
thereof has any connection with California,
nine tenths at least consisting in British man
nfactured and other goods, shipped to South
America and Central America, and of the
produce of those countries in return, such as
indigo, cochineal, India rubber, coffee, cocoa,
deer skins, goat skins, hides, orchilla, pearl
shells, tobacco, balsams, Peruvian bark, ores
straw hats, DC
Nothing is shipped from California by the
Panama route, except n few cases of silks
sent there from China, small parcels of ores
and occasional lots of whalebone Ship
ments to California consist mainly of valua
ble goods, which will bear high rate Of
freight, which between New York and San
Francisco now amounts to from 81 % to Sc
per cubic foot.
The fact is overlooked that while Califor

STATE REFORM SCHooL-The bill introduced
into the Senate by Mr.. Ketchum, providing
for State Reform School for youths, passed
that body on Friday by vote of 81 to g.
The bill is one of very important nature
and has for its object the very desirable ain
of reforming unfortunate and vice-cOntamina
ted children, by more wholesome and pro
per process than that provided for by the
present system Of incarceration in the county
jails and in the Penitentiary While thi:
bill was under consideration, Mr.. Burton Of
Nevada, made the following remarks:
There are now fifty-four under sixteen and
242 under twenty five years Of age, confined
in the State Prison at the present time. Thi.
of itself is very dreadful The object of this
appropriation is to provide place to guard
against crime, where these boys can be placed
in employment, away from the vicious Of
maturer age with whom they are now asso
ciated. as to the remarks of the Senator
from Placer, about each county having an
institution of its own for such purposes, il
could not be done There are small towns
in the country where they are infested by
this class of boys, who have received their
education in vice in the larger towns, and
then go into the country to practice their
arts. hold it to be an absolute duty to the
State to provide place of this kind, where
these boys may be taught some useful trade,
and ultimately turn out good members of Sc.

Letters to Gov. Wise.

The Governor of Virginia, whose encr-
getic, patriotic and prudent conduct in re-
gard to the liarpcr's Ferry outrage com
mands universal approval, is in the daily
receipt of large number of letters from
abolitionists in various States, threatening
his life, threatening an attempt to rescue
old Brown, and threatening the renewal Of
like attempts to those Of Brown, ifGov. Wise
does not pardon the miscrcant who has just
been convicted of his crimes, and who will
be put TO the death he deserves, as surely as
tomorrow sun rises in heaven. These let
tiers speak OF the increasing number of the
abolitionistS, Of their ability to perform what
they threaten. and Of the 'muyderouS eye, 70
use the language of one Of them, with which
they watch the progress of Browns trial.
They wind up generally with holding out 10
the Governor great popularity at the North,
If he will deal leniently with the criminals.
From all quarters in the Northern and West
ern States these letters come, written in eve
~ variety of style and of penmanship; but all
breathing threats of rescue or Of vengeance,
in case Brown and his followers are cxecu-
ted
These letters, however, might be treated in
the illustration which Old Brown has recent
ly given of the truth of Sam Patch's maxim
that "Some things can be done rs well as
Others" But these are not the only, nor the
most important and digniticd of the docu
ments with which the Governors mail is
daily loaded. From some of the most intelli-
gent aud respectable sources in the non-slave
holding States come letters full of respect
and courtesy, some of them evidently free
from all sinister motive or influence, invok-
ing the Governor to pardon Brown. The
ground of good feeling is urged as the reason
Of their recommendation: the enemies of the
! Constitution, who are chagrined by the ex-
posure Of their crimes will have no chance
of recovering the influence they have lost;
Virgin and her Governor will be every
where hailed with universal love and graft
tude.
One of the writers says that, if the Cover
nor could be on the ground and see the state
of sentiment in the non-saveholding States
upon this subject, he would not hesitate for
an instant. All this explains the sympathi-
ling tone of the New York journal of Com
merce, to which we referred yesterday, hith-
erto conservative paper, but which seems
now to be infected by the general madness.
The writer's of these letters underrate the sa-
gacity, frmness and the character of the Nir-
ginian at the head of this great Common
wealth, when they address him to such appeals.
In the most cold-blooded aud deliberate malice
and wickedness, John Brown has committed
the greatest crimes known to human law,
and now they who instigated his crimes
threaten vengeance if he is punished, and
men whose morbid sympathies are always
enlisted in behalf Of suffering villainy, insist
that it would be good policy to let him go!-

AMERICAN SECURITIES ABRoAD.-lt IS not
very ilattering to our pride as nation to
learn that with money hardly above two per
cent. in London, and with large amount of
capital in the shape Of dividends thrown into
the market for investment, there is an increas-
ing distrust of American securities. English
capitalists have had some difficulty in obtain
ing such investments as were in all respects
satisfactory Continental losses have ceased
to attract; domestic, foreign and colonial en-
terpises have lost their charms, and the offer
of government guarantees repels rather than
tcmpts. American stocks have lost credit
even since the crisis of 1857, So that even IN
Il market which has been remarkable for the
readiness with which promises Of large IN
terest have been received the seven and eight
per cent bonds of American railways are no
longer sought. but capital turns more readily

price before the European war, and 10 Eng

history which does not tend to inspire very
great confidence in them as a general thing.
