Incorrect.

Our article of last week, wherein we showed
the Anti-Lecompton men of this county,-the
leaders of whom profess TO be Douglas men,
that I. j. Butler, the Independent Candidate for
Senator, and whose name their Central Commit
tee ordered placed on the regular Anti-Lecomp-
ton ticket, was most bitter hater of Stephen A.
Douglas has stirred up not a little commotion
in the Anti-Lecompton camp. We therein
showed by evidence of Capt Stout, of Red
Bluf-evdence that Mr. Butler will not seek to
impeach-that Immediately after Douglas took
ground against the Presidents Kansas policy,
Mr.. Butler was so incensed at his course as to
declare that he would not vote for him. even
though he were nominated by the Charleston
Convention, and Mr. Seward, the leader of Black
Republicanism, were the Opposition candidate.
Could hostility TO Douglas 60 further than that?
Could prescription for opinions sake 60 fur
ther? With such sentiments, Mr.. Butler would
have justified the President in turning every
Douglas official in the Union out of Office
But one of the leading Anti-Lecompton men
of this county, member of the County Central
Committee, says that he understands Mr.. Butler
made that declaration not when Douglas took
ground against the Presidents Kansas policy,
but years before-away back in 1854, when
Douglas introduced the Kansas-Nebraska Bill.
He thought the introduction of that bill but
served to re-agitate the negro question, and
hence felt bitter at that time toward Douglas
ofor Introducing It'll
We are quite sure that our Anti-Lccompton
friend is mistaken. Mr.. Butler could never have
made any such statement. The conversation to
which allusion is made in Judge Harrisons let
ter occurred not in 1854, but Immediately after
Douglas dared differ with the President on the
Kansas question. How could the conversation
have occurred in 1854, when Mr.. Butler ant
/ Capt. Stout were talking, as Judge Harrison
says, " in regard to the Presidency of 1902"
the conversation had occurred IN 1854, they
would most likely have been talking in reference
to the Presidency of 1856, then rapidly approach
ing, and absorbing the attention of the politica
/ world

OHl-Our friend Spatz says that one reason
why he is running against Skillman is that some
Democrats doubt the Democracy of Mr.. Skill
man." Well, we believe the proper rule is to
judge tree by its fruit The first election after
Mr. Skillman joined the Democratic party, in
1855, he spent upwards of one thousand dollars
for the party. And from that day to this he has
worked as hard and spent as much money for
the party as any man in the county. Mr.. Spatz
has been in this county for at least six or eight
years. Can any man say with truth that he ever
saw Spatz spend dollar for the party, or work
an hour for it, during all that time 1t is safe
to say that be never has spent single dollar for
the party in his life.
TRINITY MOUNTAIN RoAD.-The road over
Trinity Mountain is completed, and the Califor-

over it on Monday last Thus passengers arc
taken from this place Immediately to the foot

we think, the road over Scott mountain will be
completed, when, of course, stages will run
from Sacramento to Yreka, and thence on into
Oregon

A RID.
To the Democracy of shasta County !:

To the Democracy of Shasta County:
In the Shasta Herald of last week appears a
card, over the signature of j. II. Spatz, inde-
pendent candidate for Tax Collector, wherein
the attempt is made to lower me and elevate
himself as Democrat, in the estimation of the
people of this county. In the performance of
that I" work of love-" l have no disposition to
disturb Mr.. Spatz. If he can convince any
Democrat that he is acting as a good Democrat
should act, in running against me, because |
happened, by the skin of my teeth, to defeat his
friend in the Democratic Convention, why, let
him do it.
He, however, makes one remark which calls
for reply. 1t is this:
at is currently reported, and it emanates
from very good authority that Mr.. Skillman has
repeatedly declared that he did not acant toreign-
ers to uots for him; and it is very unfortunate for
him that it is so generally believed to be true"
In the first place, it is absolutely and unqual-
ifedy false that ever made any such remark,
or even uttered words that could be construed
to mean any thing of the kind. In the second
place Mr. Spatz, and the man who wrote the
card for him, knew they were uttering un-
truth when they declared that the lying report
"emanated " from very good authority" If the
I" Authority" had been Every good" Mr.. Spatz
and his card-writing friend would have been
most happy to have published the name or
names composing said !" authority" That they
did not do so, is the best possible evidence that
they knew they were uttering deliberate false
hood for the purpose of injuring opponent.

TOWNSHIP NoNIsATfONs.-The only nomina-
tions made for township officers, that we have
heard of, are the following:
CLEAR CREEK TowSsHIP.-For Justices of the
Peace, James F. Brown and VIM. Barnum, for
Constables, Dennis Maher and Mr.. Logan.
SHASTA TowSsHIP.-For Justices of the Peace,
Ewd. K. Shed and James Keene for Constables
Jos. Short and Thos. J. Flynn.
These gentlemen are all qualified for the posi-
tions fer which they have been nominated, and
should be supported by the party.

BucKErE.-The Democratic rally at Buckeye,

BucKEYE-The Democratic rally at Buckeye,
on Wednesday evening last, was very pleasant
affair. Messrs. Mix, Dosh, Daingerfield, Reese,
Follansbee, Anderson, Durick, and Dix, each
made brief speeches, which were received by the
audience in a manner indicative of warm appro-
val, and of purpose TO give the Democratic
ticket hearty support.

Judge Dainger6eld was elected in the year
1854, and if bis term of Office comenced on the
first day of January, 1855, it will consequently
expire on the first day of January, ls6l.-Shasta
Herald Of the 21th dug.
The Herald editor should be aware of the
fact that Judge Daingerfeld took his Office be-
fore the first of January, 1865, and held term
of his Court before the first of January, 1855.
As the Constitution provides that he could be
elected for term ofbut six years. of course his
term expires before the first day of January,
1861, and hence this election is the proper time
to elect Judge of this, the 9th Judicial District.

The Senator 5 hip.

1t is matter of great importance that the
shall be a sound and reliable Democrat and par
tisan. He will, during his term, be called upon
to vote for the successor of DR.. Gwin in the U.
S. Senate and of course, this district, being tho
roughly Democratic, should be represented by a
man who will act with the Democratic party, go
into Democratic Senatorial caucuses and sup
port the nominees thereof This Mr.. Logan, the
regular Democratic nominee, will do, while Mr..
Butler, the Independent Candidate, and choice
of the Anti-Lecompton party, will not. He will
act with no "party, caucus, clique or faction"
Not desiring to cheat any one, being frank and
honorable gentleman, he took especial pains, in
a recent card, to state this in effect. In that
card he said:
declared to the editor Of the Courier, at
the time of my announcement, not TO accept n
nomination from any party, caucus, clique, or
faction, whatever. When l say Independent
mean independents"
Refusing TO accept a nomination at the hands
of any "party, caucus, clique, or faction" of
course he would refuse to act with or be bound
by the action of any "party, caucus, clique, or
faction whatever" He takes position which
proclaims aloud the proud boast, " Behold me, a
candidate who is too pure to be party man ;
Nevertheless, he desires the support of all par
ties, Democratic, Anti-Lecompton and Republi-
can, to the end that, if elected, he may deny his
obligation to act with any one party, having been
elected oy members of all parties.
Tom Butler is very clever gentleman, but a
very poor politician. Does he really think the
Democracy of this district will consent to be
without representative of their doctrines in the
State Senate for the next two years? And yet
this is what he asks of them, in asking for their
votes.
Democrats, vote for Logan, who is the regular
nominee, and Democrat who does not claim to
be too pure to be a party man, and who will
participate in and support the action of Demo-
cratic caucuses.

Mr. Romer being a man who attends carefully
to his own business affairs, will, in all probabil-

the same manner He has a clear head, is firm

right, of undoubted integrity, and hence, is
