GooD-ByE TO JoHNsoN.-The Gold Hill Necs
has finally concluded it impossible to support
Johnson, and remarks at can no longer be
questioned by any intelligent and earnest lover
of our Nation that President johnson has thrown
the whole weight of the Federal patronage at
his command. Against this conclusion we have
for a long time contended believing the Presi-
dents professions of adhesion to the doctrines of
the Union party as laid down in the platform of
1864, upon which he was nominated and elected
Vice President of the United States. But, alas
we find Andrew Johnson, to-day reciting words
of National import that he may practically argue
for the restoration of rebels to power. By the
measure of faith and charity we have exhibited
toward him and his administration, up to the
date of his defiant declaration of recreancy to
the party that has conferred upon him the high
est honors in the Republic, we experience pro-
portionate intensity of indignation and disgust
ut his developed character"

An EXAMPLE OF JoHysoNs CNIoNIsM.-Not
long since Secretary Stanton sent the name OF
Col. VIM. b. Stokes of Tennessee, to the Presi-
dent to be nominated for brevet, in recognition
of his eminent services on the field of battle
johnson became so furious thereat that he drew
his pen across the paper, without waiting to have
the official act duly and decently Cancelled The
President can pardon rebels by wholesale, but
he cannot recognize mertorious services in an
officer of the Union army, if that officer has the
manliness differ with him touching the man
ner of rcconstructing the rebel States.

THE Sacramento Bee is authority for say
ing that General Bidwell has written to friends
in this State that he has had sufficient honors in
the Congressional line, and that he will not be
candidate for reelection. If Andrew johnson
succeeds in carrying out his already announced
desires, no representation will be wanted from
California, as it does not favor his policy. We
think it safe TO assert that General Bidwell will
be among the prominent candidates for next Gov
ernor of California.

SlR-It is understood that Robert B.

been convicted in a colonial court OF Canada
and Sentenced to death on charge that,
being citizens Of the L. S., they were actors
in the assault made in the month of June
last at Fort Erie in that colony. 1t can
hardly be necessary to direct your attention
to the fact that the United States govern

tons of national dignity, duty and honesty

Sin gular Case of Restitution of Stolen
MOney by Young h-American.

The London Standard Of September 27t
relates that some years ago young Irish
man who had been educated at Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, had been thrown by his
friends upon his own resources in conse-
quence of his irregularities, arriving in Liv
pool, was engaged in mercantile firm, and
in time was appointed cashier In the Office
One morning he was missed, and an inves-
tigation showed that he had decamped,
taking with him $4,000. Nothing more
was heard from him until few days ago
The firm who had giveu up as lost forever
the s3, 600, received a packet by post from
America, containing an order upon a wei.
known house in Liverpool for 5000, with
five per cent, interest on the sum from the
period when the sender-who proved to be
the absent one"-decamped.
The packet also contained an account of
the exploits of the sender since he left
England lie had escaped to America,
entered the service of we'll known dry
goods MERCHANT in New York, and remain
ed there until a year after the outbreak Of
the war His governor was patriotic
and told each of his clerks that he would
advance from $500 to $500 to any one of
them who would join the army Of the north.
The hero Of this paragraph was the first to
offer his services. He had fought at Fred
ericksburg, Seven Oaks and other places in
Virginia was with Sherman in the cele-
brated march to the sea, holding a Sub
ordinate command under Sherman, and
wound up by marrying the young widow Of
a wealthy northern general who fell at the
head Of his troops AT Gettysburg

WHAT BRAVE MEN Last weeks Smut
Kachiae attacks our Democratic County
Ticket generally, and amongst the charges
preferred, states that none Of the candidates
served in the war Let US see how much
time the Radical candidates gave their
country during the trouble:
Henry Sibree served in the war, hoeing
corn and digging potatoes in the town of
kossuth
Robert T Blake served five years in the
war, acting as Constable in Manitowoc
Genry Baetz served in the war until he
got sick Of his bargain, and returned home.
Fred Borchcrdt served gloriously in the
war, his principal business being in carrying
white men in chains from Manitowoc to
Green Bay.
n Nelson was a glorious patriot, and
collected taxes in our town. while the boys
in blue were fighting the enemy down
South.
W. II Hamilton was JraUe SOLDIER and
occupied his time during the rebellion in
pettifogging before our courts.

An JNGRATEFUL ACr.- 1t would seem
that there are two Abolition candidates
running for Clerk Of the BDarl Of Superyi-
sors, against Mr. BACH, the Democratic
nominee Mr. SAMUELs0N was nominated
blythe Abolition Convention, and there has
been no official change made in the ticket
at least there was none in the last T,jJuac.
Mr.. NELSON, however, claims that he is
tie Abolition candidate, and is devoting his
time among Democrats, asking them for
their votes We hope he will not receive
one Of them. Mr. NELSON, on account Of
his iniruities, has had the sympathy and
support Of large number Of Democrats in
this town for a term of years for the Offices
of Town Treasurer and Town Clerk ; and
we think, as do large number of his coun-
trymen, it is very ungrateful act On his
part, without even receiving a nomination
from any party, to beg Democratic votes
given such universal satisfaction to all par
ties in the discharge Of his duties We do
not think Mr. NELSON would take such an
ungeuerous course were he not supplied
with money not his own, aud made catch
paw for the Abolition wire workers. Repub-
licans cannot look upon him otherwise than
as bolter to their party, while Democrats
must certainly despise him for his ingrati-
tude to their former favors They have
been his friends, and he now proves to be
their enemy No, Mr.. NELSON, the
Democrats have done enough for you al
ready. You cannot well ask them for more
Since the above was written we are
credibly informed that Mr.. NELSON
acknowledges that he was driven into being
a candidate b. HENRY BAETz in order to
procure the Scandinavian vote for the latter,
and not with any idea . ais own election.
1t remains to be seen whether our Scandi-
navian fellow. citizons are to be barganed
and sold by Mr.. NELSON for the benefit Of
Mr.. BAEH. We thing they will not allow
the trade to be colsummated.
