EB The proceedings of the Democratic
County Central Committee will he found in
another column. After full and free inter
change Of opinion. they deem it inexpeden,
10 make local nominations for the September
election. They, however, urge in the ads
dress, vigilance, activity and zeal in main
tanning the unity and organization OF the
party, that it may be efficient in the great
and good work Of restoring the country to
its former peaceful and happy condition un-
der Democratic rule, revivng the ancient
respect for Constitution and laws, and es,ab
fishing as the irreyocabls decree Of the Amer
ran people that "iiis is 8 white mans Coy
ernmen', and made alone for him and bis
posterity."
The State Central Committee have called
further requirement upon the Democrats OF
Placer to close up their ranks and I've ready
for the work appointed them. With proper
industry and complete organization. the
Democratic candidate for Supreme Judge
can be elected. BY like organization in the
September election. we can prevent the eler
ton Of any man who would so far dehls the
elective franchise. and change the p Ian of the
Government of our fathers, US to favor Negro
suffrage. This question is now advocated
publicly by Some. secretly by others, hv most
OF the candidates on the Long Haired ticket
in this county. and it therefore becomes a
duty incumbent upon every man calling him
self Democrat, /" prevent the spread and
sucress of snch odous sentiments, by con
signing their advocates TO the sha.Ies Of pri.
va'e life, instead of indorsing them 10y Al

HASN'T Heard the News.

We have searched the columns Vi oui

retnrns of the Connecticut election or
anv editorial comments thereon. The
same silence is preserved concerning this
important political event, that is OBJ
served in relation to the Presidents re-
construction policy, or his magnanimous
speech to the Southern delegation. Why
is it, Hasn't the Intelligencer heard the
news? 1t is true the telegraph, which
would have promptly notified us of tbs
fact if Connecticut had been carried by
the negro suffrage men, has as yet failed
to furnish any mention of the election
which took place last Monday, and all
the information we have been permitted
to receive upon the subject comes by
mail, but still we think our neighboI
ought by this time to have learned that
the question of negro suffrage was voted
upon in New England State on the ID

The Louisville Press says Gen. Palmer
has been indicted for abducting slaves
under his celebrated order granting free
passage across the Ohio. We presume
that The is legally indictable, and
there are counties enough in Kentucky
where juries could be found to convict
n. Y. Tribune.
Well, now, Mr. Tribune, if Gen. Palmer
is legally indictable, and if he be legally
tried, legally convicted, and legally pun
ished, for the violation of law, what is
your objection? Do you propose to set
Gen. Palmer, a creature of the law and
whose Office is to aid in sustaining and
enforcing the law, above that law and
above trial by jury?

to be very much of sinecure in these
days Chief Justice Chase has found
abundant leisure during the short time
he has occupied that distinguished judi

angue the negroes; to visit yarmouth
College and air his official robes in the
classic atmosphere of that ancient seat
Of learning; and the last we hear Of him,
he has been West organizing some sort
of an association or commission for the
