Next U. s. Senator.

fo1 might as well ask who Is Mr.. Felix =
as TO ask who will be the successor of Nc.
Dougall in the United States Senate from
California At the present time the political
waters are being much troubled At the ap-
preaching September election members OF our
Legislature will be elected, and viii choose The
8 coming man." Aspiranss for Senatorial
honors are numerous. As far as We can learr
they are as follows: Gov F. f. Low and A.
A. Sargeant-these two prominent caBdi-
dates are old line Republicans, the former
denominated foolishly by aspirants Short
Hairs, and the latter Long Hairs-C. C.
Cole, late of Congress. Lewis Cunningham.
Phelps. McShafter. Pixley and FELTON,, and
lastly, Wm. Parks Of Suffer, and Snyder of
Marysville.
As Governor Low has proven himself not
only sound Union man during the dangerous
rebellion, but most excellent Governor, be
occupies prominent position among the aspi-
rants for Senatorial honors. This appears to
be the principal cause Of his being so stub
bornly opposed by Sargent and his friends,
and other aspiranis II is said that a MAORI
ty of those aspirauts hate Low and Conness as
the devil hates holy water first, because Con
ness is friendly to Low, aud secondly, in the
Legislature of '63, when the chief of the
Long Hairs" Sargent, and others of his po
liiical friends and aspirants were fighting and
snarling over who should be q. S. Senator,
Conness was taken up and elected, or in other
words ran off with the bone This is the
cause of his offending and of bis present oppo-
stion from those aspiring to the same position.
Sergeant also was candidate for Governor
and the delegates from the people failed to ap-
preciate bis claims to the gubernatorial seat,
hence he has become indignant from his "po-
litical misfortunes and insists that all his old
line Republican friends should not Only become
indignant, but designate themselves Long
Hairs and that Low and Conuess be termed
Short Hairs" or Douglas Democrats. AS
we understand it, in accordance Herewith,
Chief Sergeant aud bis friends in Nevada
county have made not only what we consider
disgraceful fight, but dangerous to the har.
mony and welfare of the Union party This
every true and honest Union man must deeply
regret. In consideration of such political wire
pulling We must look to the mass of the
people-to their honesty and inielligence-for
the correction, and that they be careful in the
selection of such delegates to their County
Conventions as will secure the nomination aud
| election of honest and sterling representatives
that will give US U. S. Senator of ability and
integrity, and one that will secure the union
and harmony of the Union party.
We are not particularly in favor of Gov.
Low for U. S. Senator. We are in favor of
any good, sound Union man, who has honesty
and ability, faithful to the best interests of the
people of California, of the Union, and the
welfare of the Union party. Such man we
favor for Senator, We care not who be is or

ROBBERY IN SHASTA CoUNTY.-The robber
of Schochs Express, mentioned in our last
issue, has been caught. The Courier of the
oath nit. gives the particulars as follows:
1t seems that when Schoch stopped his team
aud went back to look for his breast block, an
Indian lay hidden in the chapparal-not for
the purpose of robbing, but to save his own
hair-his kind not being popular on that side
of the river. The absence Of the driver Of
fered the temptation and the opportunity. Lo
was tempted-he fell, and Schoch's Express
box, containing twenty FIVE ounces of dust, a
deringer pistol and many letters, one of which
contained draft for some two hundred dollars,
fell into bis hands. Careful watching revealed
the fact that Lo was selling gold dust in guam
titles so large as TO excite suspicion. Lo was
finally suspected by others Of his people, who,
at the insigation of the whites, succeeded iu
capturing buck who had seven ounces on
him. and which he claimed TO have won from
Lo in gambling with him. He described Lo,
and Schoch, with some four or FIVE friends,
went in pursuit, met the fellow on a lonely
trail, let him come close up, when Barbour
told bin to step. Lo raised his hands saw
Barbours cleaning pistol, made a leap that
laDded him in gulch some fifteen feet down,
from whence be made quarter horse time, pur-
sued by pistol bullets and n.en. The men
failed to connect. Out of ten shots only one
took effect passing through the wrist. Indians
took the wounded mans trail found him, aud
brought in nine and a half ounces of dust
Thursday, the wounded man was captured at
Churntown. He says he lost the deriDger
when they were firing 90 him. The letters and
other express matter were found near the scene
of the robbery. So far. there has been re-
ceiyed sixteen aud half ounces of the twenty
FIVE lost.

peared 10 be directed against Gov. Low or
"any other man" who stood in the sweeping
way of Sargent, and who succeeded in winning
victory. To say the least, it was disgrace
full and abusive fight, and solely for the spoils
Of Office. These patriots appreciate their
purse-strings aud power Of appointments more
highly than they do the unity of the great

liar fight, No. . was made in the city of
Marysyille, where, the Appeal says, the Long
Hairs were triumphant and rejoices over the
fact. The Appeal pitched in, took part and
fought the Short Hairs furiously. The only
bone of contention was power AID place, hav
ing DO other principle involved. The contest
became heated from the inuumerable pa
triots willing 10 serve their country in
some official position. We can only trust in
the good sense and intelligence of the mass OF
the people, and if they view these wire pulers
and place hunters in a true light, when the
proper time arrives they will set aside all who
attempt to create discussion and dscord in
their party. Those aspirants whose object is
to "rule or ruin" should be laid on the shelf.
and it is in the power of the people so

tstives. The mission of the Union party is
