DIsrsIcr JUDGE t. B. Mcfarland Esq,
has been elected Judge of the l4th Judicial
District over both his competitors. The
county has reason to be proud of this re-
suit. A high toned honorable gentleman,
above artifce or trickery, of well cultiva-
ted and logical mind, good counselor, and
Correct in his dealings with his fellow men,
be inspires complete confidence in his ca
reer as District Judge. Long ago he was
singled out by the bar of the county as a
proper nun to fiji the bench of the District
Court, and many are the members Of that
bar who voluntarily pledged themselves TO
him and his friends to give him them sup
port, who were unmiudful Of their pledges
when tie day Of election came. Men who
had received fhvors and hunors at his
hands were arraye against am, forgetting
the obligations of gratitude and private
pledges Mr. Mcfarland is elected, but to
only Messrs. Sargent, Sewers, Ga! lord and
Niles, Jf all the bar IN the District, Is he
ildeLted in the least for his position.

rrsioS DLFEAfFD.---lt is with no ordinary
fr-!i1ga. of pleasure 1re chronicle the cleo
ton Of il H. farqunar. Esq, Of North San
Jaan, 20 the office OF Clerk of the County,
because of his esneciai fitness for the posi-
ton, his intarnshed character, and partic-
ulariy because he was singled oat as the
man before all others on the Republican
ticket to be beaten. At Grass Valley the
two wigs os the Democracy struck hands
70 defeat him. Here strenuous effort was
made ty the Dixie leaders to control the
votes of the party in favor of Mr.. Laton,
the Union Democratic nominee. The re-
turns from North San Juan show that in
Mr.. FarGubar's own home enemies were not
wanting to combine the Democratic wings
against him, though the same returns ex-
hibit his popularity among those who know
hin. test.
Mr.. Farquhar IS a gentleman of positive
character, and such are rarely known to be
popular like those putty men, who have
moderate ord for every body and vote in
whispers or skulk a question. But our
pominee for County Clerk is elected, and
the people win assuredly find they have
promoted the right man to the right place.
