The Placer herald., 1866-03-17
A SrpAw.-It seems that the influence of

istration at Washington. Recently Judge
Haight, of the U. S. District Court for the
Southern District Of California died, and a.
soon as the news reached Washington,
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, telegrapbed to
Cornelius Cole, Senator elect from this State
as follows:
''Whom do you want 10 Haight's place!
Every Onion man should support the Presi'
dent"
The Sac. Bee says that Cole naturally
concluded from this that Stewart had the
Presidential ear in regard TO appointment on
this coast, and is more confirmed in the
opinion by the news dispatches that Conness
has voted against the President, and has
also introduced bill to abolish the Court
ofJudge Haight, and combine bis District
With the Northern District of California;
being an attempt to head off the appoint
msnt Of any man whom Stewart might re-.
commend.
We conclude from the dispatch that Lit.
tie John is played out with the President,
and that Stewart has become the dispenser
Of Federal appointments here. And We also
conclude from the latter part Of The despatch,
that Stewart is calling out an expression
frop Cole as to bis views on the Presidents
policy, and that if he fails to toe the mark,
his recommendations will carry no weight at
Washington.
Now, Cornelius, show your hand! he
that is not for Uncle Andy is against him.
WILL THE PRESIDENT WEAKEx!-A one
horse military company somewhere in Solano
county, having by resoluton Endorsed Andy
Johnson last season, now feel it incumbent
upon them to take their prop from under the
President and let him drop, have gone and
done it, and resolved that they can uphold
him no longer. All Of which, with a start.
ling whereas, is published in the columns Of
the Sac. Union.
The country is nervous with anxiety to
learn whether Johnson's vertebral column
will weaken, when be hears Of the determin.
alton Of the military home guard veterans ol
Solano - the mighty warriors Who are
pledged not to leave home Except in case Of
INVASION"
A DUrcH FLAT IrEM.-On Saturday last,
at Dutch Flat, Hartman, Clerk Of tho Su.
preme Court, and Justice Aubrey, got into
discussion, not "wid sbticks," but fists, on
account Of the lie passed from the latter to
the former, a. which the Clerk fetched the
Justice "stinger" on the mob" that "sent
him to grass" The Nevada Tronscript
learns that bis "amicable settlement" of the
difficulty arose out of political discussion.
As the parties both roost in the Abolition
nest We are inclined to doubt this version Of
the affair. Our information is that The Clerk
was pettifoggying case before the Justice,
when the latter, from something that passed
felt it necessary to maintain the dignity Of
the Court by calling the advocate liar
Hence the pugilistio demonstration, result.
ing as stated above.
Fok JoHNsoN.-A friend writing US from
Lincoln says, the good people Of that place
and vicinity are decidedly 10 favor of Presi,
dent Jobnson's restoration policy. We are
pleased to hear it; and we can assure our
friend that there will be great many more
communities in the same frame of mind be.
fore many months roll around. The
people are tired and disguised with Radical
ism-tbeir great desire is to have all our po>
litical difficulties settled as speedily as pos.
sible, so that We can again be united, pros
porous and happy people.
@T The Radicals being afraid to measure
their strength with the Democracy OF San
Francisco. At the May election, are attempt.
ing to prolong the terms Of the officials to
be succeeded, BY lsgislating them into Office
until after The Registry Law goes into effect
more than year hence. Such bill has
been introduced into the Assembly, and We
expect it will pass. The Same party cut off
the'terms of Democratic officials in this coun
~, little over two years ago, because they
we're Democrats, and from the same motives
they will extend tho official lives Of their
own partizans, because they are afraid the
people Of San Francisco will will return
Democrats when election day arrives.
For the speedy release from the domina
ton OF such party, Good Lord deliver US!
~Tbe U. S. Grand Jury, at San Fran,
cisco, have indicted young Macy, for embez.
cling about 100000 in Government funds.
That sportive young gentleman is said to be
now in Mexico. A. bis delinquency was
said to have been known some time before
he went away. the inquiry naturally arises.
Why be was not arrested and held for trial.
THAT EGo.-Some person from the plains
writes us, doubling the size Of that hens egg
published in the last Herald. All the
doubter has to do. is to call upon Mr.. An.
