" The DEllshcRd..''

"The BEllShcRd.."
The Ds1ocrdt would attempt 10 squirt its
dye stuff like the cuttlc-fsh, to hide the
actions Of some members of the last Legis-
ls,ure. The libel bill, bulkhead bill, -four
and pork inspection bill, and several other
thieTing institutions, the Democrat would
cover from sight By dragging the " old man
o. the sea between them and the specta-
tor. Thrusting all the stealing measures
of last session into the back ground and
hauling Gwin by the collar to the front, We
are told the things in the distance are only
trites, whereas it i. all owing to the Dem
ocrats perspective Put Gwin at the van
lshing point, where he really should be-
and allow the abominable objects to assume
their proper places in the picture, and we
have different view and prospect ac-
colding to nature.
In regard to the bulkhead and other un-
popular measures, We do not say, and have
not said, the members of the last Legisla-
ture from this county, in their action upon
them, were governed by improper motives.
But the strange fact that some of these
members happened to vote for all the odi-
ous bills of the last session, does not leave
on the minds of their constituents very
favorable opinion of their judgment
Where two men are candidates for the same
position, the one who has opposed those
measures which are considered questioua-
bic, is safest.
1t is nonsense to erect Old Gwin into
scarecrow, and pretend the election of those
men who have on all occasions been found
advocating the most obnoxious measures,
is mere triae compared with the return Of
'tthe daily mail killer" to the Senate. Is
it trie to give the State over to heart
less monopoly to be bound hand and foot
hundred years? Is it of no consequence
that the liberty of the press, the palladium
of a free government, should be crushed?
CoRREcTIvE.-Judge Smith, editor of the
National, corrects our report of the proceed
ings of the late Douglas County Convention
in particular or two respecting himself.
The Judge says Mr.. Leach nominated him
in the Convention and not Mr.. Glass, q. we
reported, and, also, q that the candidates
came forward and pledged themselves, etc."
is not exactly true. Judge Smith was de-
tanned at home on account of illness.
The Judge is right. Tie rapidity with
which the nominations were made prevent
ed US from seeing all those who nominated.
We did not catch the eye of the gentleman
who"put the Judge in nomination, and had
to depend upon others.
Judge Smith says he did not authorize
any one to nominate him except in certain
contingency, which did not arise, and,
therefore, no one had the authority to
pledge him to support the nominees of the
Convention and furthermore, the Judge
says he does not advocate the election of
the ticket as an entirety, but will haul down
the names Of any whose views are not sat
isfactory on the bulkhead question, and
dares any body who don't like it to pitch
in.
S. G. ELLIoTT.-In reference to the re-
marks we have heretofore made touching
this gentleman, we did not design, or dream
of doing him the slightest injustice. Our
statements were made upon er patti evidence
" aH at Z ba ac1ao Il
vincing. What may be elected on investi-
CATION, whether exculpatory or condemna-
tory, we cannot say, but in view of conflict
ing statements, we deem it proper to de-
clare that we have not a particle of interest
in the difficulty which has arisen between
Mr.. Elliott and Mr.. Welch, farther than to
see exact justice done all parties. We hope
and trust the matter which has given rise to
some i'll feeling will be found to have origi-
mated in Misunderstanding, and that no
culpablityl is to be laid at the door Of either
party for whom we have felt the highest es-
teen.
BEES VS.. GRAPEs.-The little circumstance
Of few bees having been discovered de-
vouring white Muscat grapes in the garden
of A. P. Smith, of Sacramento, has furn-
ished many an item for the papers, besides
exciting fears among the grape growers that
the little honey insect might destroy .heir
crops? Mr.. HARRISON has, however, dis5i-
pated these fears, and nearly ended scrib-
bling on the subject by suspending bunch
of the Auscat in hi. apiary, which the bees
did not touch. 1t was contended long ago
by Langstroth, who is pretty good authori-
", that bees would not destroy fruit If by
any means the skin of grapes is broken.
either by wasps puncturing them or other
wise, the bees, he insists will step in and
save waste, but never make the first breach
themselves.
