Ter, that they will attend and take part in
the Douglas monumental ceremonies at Chi
cago next month. If life could only return
to reanimate the form of the i;lustrious dead,
and Douglas could arise amid the scene, he
would administer a rebuke to the two recre-
ant functionaries that would send them back
to their deserted posts in shame and dismay.
These treason revivers and unprincipled be-
trayers of the peoples trust have no right to
approach the spot where the remains of such
true and fearless patriot as Douglas lies
entombed. Rather let the place, on that
occasion, be sacred to the tread of those 10y
al sons of liberty whose brows are decked
with the fadeless laurels of freedom, and
whose hearts remain true to the principles
which Douglas commended even with his

Supervisor, Second District.

SokSA wAoO1y 9CCOAA 6Aose
On Wednesday next, September 9th, the
qualified electors of the Second Supervisor
District. composed of the Fifth, Seventh and
Tenth townships. will be called upon to e4-
ercise the elective franchise in the selection
of person to fill the office of Supervisor.
That competent man should be chosen Is
matter of great importance, not only to
those citizens who reside in the district where
the election is to be held, but to the county
at large. The duties which desolve upon
Supervisor, especially in the present condl-
ton of our county finances. are onerous, and
should be entrusted only to capable, honest
thorough business men. To the Board OF
Supervisors the entire management OF the
affairs of the county is confded. and unless
the people take interest enough in the mat
ter to see that none but economical, shrewd
business men, men who possess some finan-
cial ability, are elected, they can never ex-
peet to be relieved of the enormous debt
which has SO long oppressed us. No nomi-
nations have been made by either party, but
Mr.. James Cole, the present incumbent, is
the Union candidate. Mr.. Cole was elected,
little over year since, to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of P. w. Cornwall,
ESQ.,, and during the time he has exercised
the functions of his Office, his course has been
such as to give the most entire satisfaction to
his immediate constituents as well as to the
citizens of the whole county. He has long
been resident of Calaveras, is fully identi-
fed with her best interests. is thorough,
practical business man, and understands the
duties of the Office to which he aspires. much
better than person can who has never oc-
cupied the position. Mr.. Cole is firm, un
swerving Union man, a gentleman of fine
social qualities, courteous and affable in his
manners, and by his Straightforward, hon.
orable course, has gained the respect and
confidence of all. A better selection could
not have been made. The Union men of the
Second District should roll up such ma
jority for their candidate, on Wednesday
next, as will put a quietus to the hopes of
the Democrats at the next general election.
Should they succeed in electing Supervi-
sor, it will inspire them with fresh courage
and assist them very much in the next CAM
paign. They are aware of the advantage
which the prestige of winning this fight
would give them, and are straining every
nerve, leaving no means untried. to secure
the victory. Union men should allow no
party differences to divide their ranks, but
march in solid phalanx to the ballot-box
and as one man, deposit their votes for the
Union candidate.

Gen. Grants Opinions,

Nelson Dingley, Jr., editor of the Lewton
(NIain) Journal, and Speaker of the House
of Representatives of that State during the
winter of 1865, visited Washington few
weeks ago, and had an interview with General
Grant. He spent an hour with the general.
the subject of conversation being the .condi-
tion of the county. Gen. Grant intimated
that it would perhaps have been better for
the country hal the war continued for a year
longer, adding further observations, of which
Mr.. Dingley made notes.
''i1e was confident that the large majority
CT the Southern people would smother their
rescutments.a;id become good citizens. if the
mischief makers at the North (the COPPER
heads) would only let them alone. For
himself, if he had the power, the first thing
lie would do would be to seize the New
York News and kindred sheets, which are
giving the South so dangerous an idea of
their own position and rights.
''Troops, said General Grant, must be
kept in all the principal points in the South
for some time to come. This will be neces-
sary to repress the turbulence of class of
the South very dangerous to all well-disposed
persons, and also to protect the rights of the
freedmen, who are looked upon with hatred
by very large proportion Of the people,"
