Ed. WORLD: Goldsrnith's Tines about
The Deserted Village would very appro-
priately apply to the lofty city Of Placerville
at the present writing. Life itself appears
to have left the animate as well as the imam
innate things The Coeur d'Alene excitement
With the failure Of the water in this vicinity,
has almost depopulated our hitherto lively
and busy camp. From the above you must
not suppose that we are entirely dead, ner
that the good town of Placerville .is geng
out Of existence altogether; no, not by any
means. We have still a number sufficient
left of the right sort of men who retain the
vitality of life to let it be felt and IN the right
way at the coming election, As well as IN the
Summer shipments of gold dust from Boise
Basin.
The action of Judge Mcbride in discharg-
ing the murderer Foote, is being commented
on in this vicinity in manner anything but
complimentary to his Honor, and some very
serious charges are laid a. his door as also
in the direction of the District Attorney
The words briber," bribes,' "borght y
and money" are frequently heard when
this is is the subject of conversation. The
circumstances appear to warrant every
thing that is ssid,Gf the reports are anything
near true that are in circulation in this neigh
borhood in regard to the matter. Consider
able wonder is expressed that the WORLD has
had nothing to say in regard thereto, and |.
am myself surprised that youshave not given
the subject more attention. And Why does
not Tycoon" give it the same attention
that be did the Buckner case? or is it that
Judge Mcbride is too high game for him to
fly his falcon at? Merely change of own
ership of the quadruped makes great differ
ence in the sentiments of the parties.
Politics " is raisin'.n The ticket nomina-
ted by the Democracy of this county suits
the voters here, and they intend to give it a
hearty support, and with a proper canvass
there need be no fear had of the success of
the party that has SO unfinchingly stood by
the principles enunciatiou by the originators
of our country's laws, which have answered
90 well for our government and guidance
until the present. The war is over, and We
have now to turn our attention to the healing
of the wounds left by it. It is for the Dem
ocracy of the country to seize the tctterlng
framework that is left of our once proud and
strong building and with their support and
attention, and by wise and judiciOus policy
once more present to the world free and
independent people governed by good and
wholesome laws.
Since tae circus We have had nothing in
the way Of amusements until yesterday when
our plaza was adorned by tent some twenty
feet in diameter, said to contain grand dis-
criptive panorama of the late war and "other
things" | am inclined to think that the
"other things" have it, and that it is reg
ular g blk )" but fools must have something
TO spend their money for.
We are promised some rare sport on nextl
Sunday, although I will not say that the
sport promised is of kind which might be |
called appropriate for the Sabbath day. Vel
are to have dog fights" done up according
to the usual rules. The mainmatch is for]
$500 side but there will be several other
matches of less amount, and several free
fights.
Ths Canon road is open at last and thel
Express comes in once week-occaeionally |
Weather cloudy, with indications of rain.
