mcnt Bill reported by Mr.. Fargo, of the As

who reported the bill, Travelled over the
whole map of California they could have
scarcely found a county in the whole State
more isolated from Tehama than Plumas. To
be sure, the extreme northwestern corner of
Plumas county joins Tehama, but otherwise
it is entirely segregated from this county,
having nothing in common with U.S. Had
Plumas and Butte been Joined in the Sena.
torial apportionment there would have been
some sense in the act. Tehama and Colusi,
and Tehama and Shasta counties have some
thing in common joining each other; their
people have associated together both politi
cally and socially; we are in direct commu-
nication with each other, and if we are to be
joined in the Senatorial apportionment to any
county, let it be one of these two. But to
join us to Plumas-good Lord they might as
well join us to San Diego!
We hope our Representatives in the Legis
lature will look to this matter-and we ad
wise the Committee to look at the map, and
good sense, at least, will recommend an
amendment. Tehama and Cousi are the
proper counties to join in a Senatorial district
We are more directly connected with Colusi

DEFINITION OF AN ADo1IrIoN1sr-Th South

DEFINITION or AN ADoLITIoNIsr-Th South
ern Literary Messenger gives the following
definition of the word "Abolitionist:'
"An Abolitionist is any man who does not
love slavery for its own sake, as divine in-
stitution who does not worship it as the
corner stone of civil liberty; who does not
adore it as the only possible social condition
on which permanent republican govern
ment can be erected and who does not, in
his. .inmost soul, desire to see it exteneed and
perpetuated ever the whole earth, as a means
of human reformation second in dignity, I'M
portance and sacredness alone to the CHRIS
tian religion. lie who does not love AT i
can slavery with this love is an Aboltionist." +"
There are men in this Ssate who have al
ways pretended to be Democrats, who would
like to see the above adopted as a platform
for "all anti Republicans to unite upon" at
the coming election. They call themselves
conservative men, too. They are the most
unreasonable fanatics outside of the Insane
Asylum.

The Late Judge Mclean.

Another eminent American jurist has gone
John Mclean, the oldest of the nine Justices
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
died yesterday, aged seventy-seven years, at
his residence in Cincinnati Ohio. The de-
ceased was born in Morris county, New Jer-
sey, March llth, 1885. While he was yet
youth his father moved to the then almost
unsettled backwoods of Ohio. After such
education as the resources of that region
afforded, he began life for himself in Cincin-
natl. Choosing the law for his profession,
and obtaining employment in the office of the
Clerk of Hamilton county, he found time to
pursue his studies under the direction of Ar
thur st. Clair, II prominent counsellor and
son of the revolutionary general of the same
name. In 1907 young Mclean was admit
ted to the bar, and commenced practice at
Lebanon, Ohio, having Just previously mar
ried Rebecca, daughter of DR.. Edwards, of
South Carolina. In October 1912, he became
a candidate for Congress- and was elected by
large majority. In 1914 he was again cleo
ted to Congress by nearly unanimous vote
"A circumstance of rare occurrence and re-
NAMED a member of the House of Represent
tatives until 1916, when the Legislature of
Ohio having elected him Judge of the ST.
Preme Court Of the State, he resigned his seat
in Congress at the close of the session. He
remained six years upon the bench of the SUI
preme Court, and attained an enviable posi-
tion as a sound and able urist. In 1922 he
was appointed Commissioner of the General
Land Office by President Monroe; and in
1928 he became Postmaster General, both of
which offices he filled with ability. In the
year 1899 he was appointed by President
Jackson Justice Of the United States Su-
preme Court, after he had refused the offer of
the War and Navy Departments. He enter
ed upon the discharge of his duties at the
January term of 1880, and has performed the
duties of that station for period of thirty
one years. In politics, Judge Mclean had of
late years affiliated with the Republican par
ty, and was understood to be its second choice
for the Presidency in 1856. When the bred
Scott case came up before the Supreme Court
he dissented from the majority decision of
his associates. In his social relations Judge
Mclean was beloved and esteemed by all
who enjoyed his companionship From early
life he was a consistent and earnest Christian
of the Methodist persuasion, and ever promi-
nent in religious and benevolent movements
lie leaves behind him the memory of wise
and virtuous man.-N. y World, april 5M.

CANDIDATEs.-The Sacramento Bee gives
the names of some of the candidates for
State nominations of the various parties as
follows:
On the Douglas-Demoerat side, Governor
Downey has long since been considered
candidate for reelection, and we know of no
one who has taken the field against him in
his own party, but there will be many by
and by. On that same side we hear the
name Of Conness, of El Dorado, mentioned
as candidate for Congress; Griffith, of Yolo,
for Attorney General; Boruck, of San Fran
cisco, for Supreme Court Clerk, and Hoge. of
San Francisco for Supreme Court Justice
Among the Republicans, Phelps, of San
francisco and Stanford, of Sacramento seem
to occupy the Gubernatorial field; Campbell
Assemblyman from San Francisco, and Sar-
gent, Of Nevada, are mentioned as candidates
tor Congress; Marshall, of Sacramento, and
thodes, Senator from Alameda and Santa
Clara, for Clerk Of the Supreme Court, and
Ashley of Monterey, for Supreme Court JUS
Washington, Collector of San Francisco, is,
we we believe, candidate for Governor on the
