Burglary.

Our usually quiet town was thrown
into a fit of excitement last Friday
morning, 4th inst. The night previous
not less than fourshouses were unlock
ed by means of skeleton keys and en-
tered by burglars.
Our friend, ID. w. Burroughs, who
happened to have the most money in
his pockets, is the heaviest loser in
the lot. They coolly entered his bed
room and stole his pants, searched the
pockets, found $50 in gold, threw his
pants near the gate and slopcd.
The residence of j. A. Frey, the
young man whose hand was acciden-
tally shot off last fall, was visited and
all the money that could be found in
his pockets, $1,S5, was taken there
from, aud his pants thrown into the
grass near the house. \ man named
Gardner was lodging in the same
house, and his pants were served like
wise. His pockets were found empty
by the burglars.
The scoundrels then tried their luck
at the residence Of Judge Couch.
They unlocked his doors and entered
the room in which the Judge was
snoozing away. They evidently an
ticipated making "big haul,1 but
they were disappointed in this. Luck
lily, Mr.. Couch had only fifty cents in
his pocket book The thieves left the
gate open, so that cattle could easily
surround his house. We learn that
some time in the night Mr.. COUGHS
sleep was disturbed by the noise of
those pcsky quadrupeds. The Judge
rushed out of bed to drive said animals
out of his yard. The night air being
most too fresh to be comfortable, he
concluded to slip on his pants, but the
ones he had taken of his person when
retiring in the evening, were not tc
be found. Mr.. G. desires the light-fn.
gered gents to return his warehouse
and safe keys, and retain the pants
and fifty cents for their trouble. lie
will also be thankful, (if they call Oh
him again) if they will close his door
and gate Oh leaving, SO that four-leg
gcd animals will not disturb his rest
The rascals next attempted theil
operations at the residence of Mr.
Switzer, but there their plans wer,
knocked into cooked hat. They sue

He who never forgets his old friends
and cherishes his attachment for them
as ever, no matter how much time,

the influence Of ingratitude, selfish.

Having again opened this well known Ho-

the Travelling public and the rest of mankind,
that he intends to make it worthy the pat

fed, will not ask them to come again.

WANTED!
A Man of Infamy.

There is no resisting the conviction that
James Buchanan is traitor to his country-a
hoary.headed, vile, hell-deserving traitor. His
name will go dowr to posterity with an infamy
black as Stygean waters. The present genera
zion of men will curse his name. Untold gene
rations to come will use it as synonyme for
all that is vile, traitorous and dastardly Hence
forth men will cease TO speak of the unequaled
infamy of Arnold's treason, OF of the nnrivaled
turpitude of the treachery of Judas. Their vii
lainy resulted in good to the world. But this
treason of Buchanan can only accomplish re-
sults disastrous to his own countrymen and
kurtful to tho whole world He has proved
himself to be n scoward on instinct" No Amer
lean with am ounce of honest blood in his veins
eAn think Of the old man without fee ling his
ACE glow with shame. Although he has sworn
upon the Holy Word Of God that he would en-
deavor faithfully to execute the laws, yet be per-
mits the maddened men of South Carolina to
set nt defiance all Federal laws, to ignore all
Federal authority, and even to take violent pos
session of the forts, ships, munitions of war and
States lie not only permits these acts oftrea-
son and robbery, but by refusal to take the pro-
per steps to prevent their consummation, he
convicts himself before the world of the crime
Of aiding and abetting those engaged in the
traitorous work.
The question now arises, is he entirely be-
meath contempt? If not, let him be impeached
If not for treason TO his country, then for i'm
beclity. Let his name be made entirely infa-
nous. 1t is due posterity. AS this age has
furnished Buchanan, let it do all it can to pre-
serve succeeding generations from similar in-
fanny. Aye make him mark
=" for the hand of scorn to point his slow
Unmoving finger at,"
henceforth and forever.

pr James Buchanan gave the commission
ers from the South Carolina seceders hearing
before his Cabinetl What would jackson or
Washington have done under similar circum-
tancss? Suppose the Pennsylvania Whisky
Rebellionists had sent commissioners to treat
treatment at his hands? Or suppose the South
Carolina Nullifers had sent commissioners to
treat with Old Hickory. how would tie old hero
have acted? Tho simple enunciation of these
inquiries shows the immeasurable difference
between Washington or a jackson and a Bu-
chauan- between n patriot and traitor
between brave man aud a poltroon.

The ANNUAL CoNPLINENTs.-1he Amador
ledger reminds its readers of the fact that al
ready have the members of the Legislature re-
ceived their first annual compliment from the
Sacramento press, to wit: they are personally
the best looking and most intellectual appearing
body of men ever assembled in the State."-
Compliment No. will be pronounced about the
latter part of the session, when the world will
be informed that the aforesaid Legislature was
the weakest and most imbecile and corrupt
that ever disgraced the halls of the capital" So,
No. L, don't forget No. 2-don't forget that for
every sweet there is n bitter.

WILL BUCHANAN RESIGN ?-Cass, Floyd and
Cobb, three members of the Cabinet, have re-
signed. Will the old public functionary be wise
enough to follow suit before the 4th of March
Surely Breckinridge would do something to save
the ship of State from going to pieces upon the
rock of secession, and not, like old Buck, play
the woman by falling upon the neck of Cass and
boohooing like whipped boy. Gods, can it
be that such miserable old dotard has the very
existence of this glorious government in his
bastard hands AT last accounts it was ru-
mored that the entire Cabinet was about 10
abandon the miserable old man to his merited
fate. He may now say with a man of other
days
"liad Ise-ved- my country with half the zeal
Iserved my masters, Cobb, etc., she would
not in mine age
Have left me to mine enersies"

EHs- The first division of Briggs entertain

drawn. The tickets to be drawn from were
numbered from to l07,S 500. The first prize,
the Sacramento river orchard, valued at $780,
600, wns drawn by No. 9,0so, owned by some
man in Auburn. The S2I2,OOo prize will turn
mp upon the drawing of the second division. OF
course we knew there would be some sort oi
rascality in Mr.. Briggs rattle. He sold tickets
to men with the assurance that they would have
chance at the high prize, and then so I" fixed
things that none of the tickets under l07 SOC
could draw said prize.

Ba5~ South Carolina never was much of q
Republican State. Her people never had tn ,
privilege, like those of other States, of voting
directly for Presidential Electors. Her aristo-
cratic Legislatrs perform that duty. ''No man
can be elected to the House of Representatives
Of that State unless he has freehold of three
hundred acres of hnd and ten negroes, or a clear
yearly income of Seven Hundred and Fifty dol
lars and no one is eligible to her Senate, un-
less he has a clear yearly income of Fifteen Hun
dred dollars, and if he resides out of the district
in which he is elected, Five thousand dollars"
South Carolina is very good State for rich men
to live in. Poor cusses however, have slim
show there of political preferment. Poh, the
idea OF following such Republicans out of the
Union given us BY Washington and bis COM
patriots, is sickening.
