CTTY ELBCEToN.-On Tuesday next the clti-
sens Of Placerville will elect officers TO conduct
the afairs Of our city for the next twelve
months. II 10 important that We should elect
competent. prudent, honest men, regardless Of
personal friendship or political prelerenceG-
II Is moro than probable, it is almost certain,
that the railroad will be finished 10 our city
before the expiration Of . year, and that new
and pressing and greater duties will devolve
upon the city officers, requiring the exercise Of
attention, energy, skill and superior business
qualifications. It would be q grave mistake to
place the city government in the hands of uu-
tried, inexperienced, incapable hands Our
city is certain 10 increase rapidly IN wealth aud
population on the completion of the railroad,
and We want men elected who will assist not
retard its progress, who have no axes to grind
and who are philosophical, liberal and capa
ble--men of means, of brains, and of charac-
ter, whose interests are here and who would
take pride in discharging their duty faithfully
and efficiently. Good men ought TO be selected
IN the dtffefe1t wards for aldermen, not men
who merely run for the vanity of holding q
petty Office. If we elect capable Aldermen
our city affairs will be property conducted and
We shall get along swimmingly; If we do not,
it may be great drawback to the advancement
Of our city. We hope our citizens will see the
matter in proper light and act judlciously.-
We are not the advocate of any candidate-we
have no friends to reward, no enemies to pun
ish in this contest. Our party will present no
candidate, and all parties ignore politics in this
fight We shall vote for the best men, no mat
ter how bitterly they may have opposed or saw
aRely denounced us. No candidates for Alder
men have yet announced themselves.

FuS AHEAD.-Lee & Ryland's grand comb.
nation circus and dramatic company, will per-
form in this city on Monday next, the 18th
instant. Everybody knows "old man Lee, -
aRd everybody feels like encouraging him, for
citizens of Pacerville. for his liberality in other
days. Aside from other attractions, the per-
Torrance of the Lee family" and the rich
humor, telling and pointed witticisms, graceful
dancing and high old singing and tum6ing OF
"Frenchy," another Placerville favorite, are
we'll worth the price of admission. OF course
the circus will be crowded. Lee understands
his business and never stoops to humbuggery
to draw q crowd

Coon TIMEs.-These are good times for
the officials, but hard on the people, who
are victimized in number of different
ways. Plumber and robbery are the order
of the day-the vocation of gang o.
swindlers clothed with authority. 1t is
stated that the army mails have been rob
bed of millions of dollars, the money sent
by the soldiers for their families. Steal
ing pervades every branch of the public
service, and the Government thieves are
no respecters Of persons. They steal all
they can get hold of.and none are punish
ed. And this state of things will continue
and grow worse as long as they are per-
mitted to steal with impunity. 1t rests
with the party in power to remedy the
evil by placing honest men in Office. The
Democracy are powerless-the people
blinded by excitement, and the swindlers
are enjoying q rich harvest.

ANOTHER JoLLIFIcATIoN.-Our citizens had
another Publication last Monday, over the sur.
rended Of Gen. Lee to Gen. Grant. 1t was less
boisterous, more decorous and becoming than
the Publication on Tuesday of last week. A
few deeming it excessively loyal to follow the
example of Vice President johnson, got boosy
In the afternoon the military, headed by the
Placerville Brass Band, paraded through the
streets and at different places fred salutes.-
Flags were raised, the bells rung, cannon fred
and the usual amount of liquids punished
All seemed jolly, looking upon the news as the
harbinger OF peace. In the evening the incor.
rigible Carpenter, the impulsive Ensmnger,
the t;reless Hamilton and Col Jones spoke in
the Theatre. A ball at Confidence Pavilion 81
night closed the festivities of the day. Every.
thing passed of pleasantly, the utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailing.

ANOTHER Rev. SwINDLER.-The Nash.
vile Dispatch, a loyal organ, notes the
arrest of Massachusetts, clergyman, Rev.
Albert Griffith, on the charge Of stealing
or appropriating large quantity Of sani-
tary stores. After Griffith was arrested,
much Of the stolen property was found in
his possession, and large number of let
tiers belonging to soldiers were also found,
their valuable contents extracted. By
dint of tears and entrcatics he obtained q
parole till the next day, and in the mean
time took flight, but was pursued and re-
arrested. This Rev. scomdrel was cor.
respondent Of the New York Tribune, and
was constantly Boosting Of the superior
civilization of the North" Unfortunately
for him he introduced it at Nashville, but
victimized his friends instead of the
Southern people. Had he stolen from
the latter it is doubtful if he would have
been molested.

GENERAL ANDERSON AT Fort SUMTER
The following are the remarks which, with
great emotion, General Anderson delivered
at Fort Sumter, on the occasion of restoring
the old flag to its place over that fortifca-
ton:
"My Friends and Fellow Citizens and
Brother Soldiers: By the considerate ap.
pointment of the Honc rabe Secretary of
War. am here to fulfill the cherished wish
of my heart through four long. long years of
bloody war, to restore to its proper place this
dear flag, which foated here during peace,
before the first act of this cruel rebellion.
thank God that have lived to see this day,
(great applause) and to be here to perform
this duty to my country. My heart is filled
with gratitude to that God who has SO sig
nally blessed us, who has given us blessings
beyond measure. May all the world proclaim
glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace and good will towards men," Voices
Amen, Amen.

" NOT A STAR OBSCURED.,

At the imposing ceremonial of raising the
tattered ensign of Fort Sumter above its
ruins, on the fourth anniversary of the day on
which it fell before the fire of treason, Henry
Ward Beecher was present and delivered an
Grafton worthy of his fame as an orator. In
the course of his address he alluded to the
happy omen, that although the old flag often
rent by shot and shell, yet not single star
pas blotted from the Union! Wemake room
for an eloquent extract containing this happy
allusion. Turning to Major now General)
Anderson, and the group of veterans about
him. and reviewing the incidents of the
bombardment, he said:
To-day you are returned again. We de.
voutly join with you in thanksgiving to AL
mighty God, that He has spared your honor.
ed life and vouchsafed you the honors of this
day. The heavens over you are the same !;
the same shores morning comes and even
ing. as they did. All else, how changed |!
What grim batteries crowd the burdened
shore! What scenes have filled this air and
disturbed these waters! These shattered
heaps of shapeless stone are all that is left of
Fort Sumter. Desolation broods in yonder
sad city-solemn retribution hath avenged
our dishonored banner You have come
years ago, leaving the air sutry with fanatic
ism. The surging crowds that rolled up
their frenzied shouts, as the flag came down,
are dead, or scattered, or silent and their
habitations are desolate. Ruin sits in the
cradle of treason. Rebellion has perished.
But there lies the same flag that was insult.
ed. Great and prolonged applause With
starry eyes it looks all over this bay for that
banner that supplanted it, and sees it not.
Applause. You that then, for the day,
were humbled, are here again, TO triumph
once and forever. Applause. In the
storm of that assault this glorious ensign
was often struck but. memorable fact, not
one of its stars was torn out by shot or shell.
Applause. 1t was prophecy. 1t said !:
Not one State shall be struck from this ma.
ton by treasonl" IApplause.) The full,
filment is at hand. Lifted to the air, to day
it proclaims, after four years of war, Not u
State is blotted out !" Applause
This fact of cheering omen, and the elo-
quent language of the speaker recall to mind
the fervent prayer of Daniel Webster
'' Let their last feeble and lingering glance
rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the
Republic, now known and honored through
out the earth, still full high advanced, its
arms and trophies streaming in their original
lustre not a stripe erased or polluted, not a
single star obscured-bearing no such mser-
able motto as What is all this Worth? Nor
those other words of delusion and folly, Lib
erty first and Union afterwards-but every
where. spread all over in characters of living
light, blazing on all its folds. as they float
over the sea and over the land, and in every
wind under the whole heavens, that other
sentiment dear to every true American
heart: LIBERTY AND UNION. NOW AND For
EVER, ONE AND INsEPAKABLE "-Gold Hill
