The Peoples Congressman.


The Chico Couraat very justly styles Hon. John
Bidwell the Peoples Congressman, "a high but
thoroughly deserved compliment Although the
Couraht has never taken occasion to notice-let
alone indorse-his patriotic course in sustaining
the reconstruction policy maintained by Con-
gress, it yet bestows upon him the following
need Of praise for his earnest devotion to the in
tcrests of this coast Following is the Coarant'S
opinion of our Congressman -. Without eXcep-
ton, ana with one voice the Eastern press ard
newspaper correspondents agree in rendering due
credit and praise General Bidwell for his hon
est, dilgent and effective labors for his consttG-
ents. Unlike large majority in Congress, poll
ticians who are forever manufacturing political
capital and laying wires for future preferment,
taking up valuable time in making bombaStic
speeches, Gen. Bidwell has been at work, dill
gently, for the people Of the Pacific Coast and
without exception has done more to that end
than any other man who has undertaken to rep
resent this people in the halls Of Congress. But
what is to his credit, he persistently ignores
all chicanery and dishonest means, the effective
agents of politicians, basing his arguments and
representations upon honest facts, and the intiu-
ence of truth and right. General Bidwell is not
politician, and never would stoop to the mean
intrigues Of the political code, depending upon
tie business of his canse for success, and the

Had California more such and fewer pot
house politicians, it would be greatly to her cred
it as well to her interest.
The correspondent of the BaIletiR, referring to
the contest over the :. Bill to Quiet Land Titles
in our State, and the obnoxious amendments of
Julian, of Indiana, re-opening the Susco Ranch
case, says
General Biwel who is specially the father and champion
of led before the House brave and
manly has since proved successful. The msclerous
acnncnt was finally rejected by the splendid 30

particulars hut could not refrain from referring to the sub
ec in orler to accord the tribute OF praise due to General
Bgcll for his persistent ana successful efforts in the case
This is but one tribute General Bidwel has
been the man in Congress, and not measure for
the benefit of the Pacific Coast has been propos
ed but what he has been the working man to car
ry it through lie is, in fact, the People
Congressman.
AID we trust the time is not far distant when
he will be the PEorLE's GOVERNOR of California.
