Men for the Places.

rants for the State position to be filled next year
As the nominations will not close for six months
yet it is possible that other names will from
time to time be added to the list Here is the
catalogue which Marcus gives US
For Governor, we have from San Francisco
Geo. C. Gorham, present Clerk OF the United
States District Court Frank VI. Pixley, D. C. Nc
Ruer ; from San joaquin, c. 7. Meader Tuoi-
umne, T. n. Machin, present Lieutenant Cover
nor from Butte county, John Bidwell, of Chico
now representing California in Congress; from
Yba, J. II. Jewett. For Lieutenant Governor.
the most prominent man thus far is Senator J. P
Jones Of Trinity county. General George S.
Evans, of Tuolumne, is also a candidate For
Controller, George Oulton, present incumbent.
from Siskyou county, will be candidate for re-
election. For Treasurer, R. Pacheco, the pres
ent incumbent, will also be candidate for re-
election. As yet we have heard of no aspirants
in opposition to those gentlemen but doubtless
there will be before the convention assemblies
No one, yet, but W. c. Stratton of Placer
county, present State Librarian, has been an
nounced as an asprant for the Office of Secreta-
ry of State, and whether the present able gentle
man intends coming forward again for the
honor have not been informed. For Clerk
of the Supreme Court, Col. w. G. Wood, the
present deputy, is a candidate also Marcus D.
Boruck, Chief Clerk ofthe last Assembly For
State Printer, J. j. Owen, of the San Jose Mer-
curry T. A. Springer, of the Amador Ledger ;
Samuel Cassday of the Petaluma Journal and
Argus D. o. Mccarthy, of the american Flag e;
n. 2. Brown, of the Nevada Transcript, are can
ddates-for this lucrative position there will
be lively struggle. For Superintendent of
Public Instruction, John SWEET, the present in
cumbent, will be candidate for reelection j. B.
McChesney, of Nevada, is also candidate.
From the above it will be seen that there is no
lack of patriots who are willing to serve their
country for four years. We have no particular
objection to any of the gentlemen named in con-
nection with the different Offices but will attest,
so far US our acquaintance goes, that they are
men who deserve the confidence Of the Union
party. But will take this occasion to say
that so far as the choice for Governor is concern
ed, the people of the Northern counties are al
most a unit. We have had opportunity to learn
and be convinced that John Bidwell, our present
Representative in Congress, is the favorite for
that position. The Union men of Trinity are
unanimous in his favor, and we think the same
may be safely said of Butte, TehAma, Shasta and
Sskiyou. Bidwell has fully won the confidence
of his constituents, and they will sustain him
for any position he may desire. We have no di-
rect authority for stating that he will be candi-
date for the position, but should he desire it,
there is no doubt about the result in this District.
A THANKSGIVING PREsENT.-Grant Taggart's
big-heartedness is too generally known and ap-
preciated to need any reminder from us. Ready
is he always to help the needy and protect the
poverty-stricken and God-forsaken. Therefore
did he, (and Mrs. Taggart) by Wednesdays
to Mar nd
one turkey, several chickens one dozen quail,
mince pies brown bread, cake, etc, and the
wherewith to wash them down. (And Isaac held
the reins all day without dinner. The laugh is
you, Isaac y May be our lucky bachelor
neighbors were not exultant. They had splen-
did dinner served at the New York Hotel and
number of their friends 1--WE were in) invited to
partake. Well, as Taggart remarks, they are
forlorn old bachelors, and it is proper that some
one should care for them. We know this much,
that they fully appreciated the present.
Nor FOR SALE.-Major j. R. Bradway, Post
master at Red Bluff, was favored with KNAPP
circular, asking assistance for the Johnson cause.
Not being that sort of man, the Major replies to
the chairman of the q Resident Executive Com
mittee appointed by the late Philadelphia Con-
vention," in gallant terms. We quote an ex-
tract &c In conclusion, would remark that my
sympathies seem not to be with the President and
his supporters, and could not therefore cheer-
fully render them any assistance. But if it is
expected that the position | hold would have any
influence in inducing me to do violence to my
principles, then would say, firstly, my princi-
ples are not in the market, and secondly, if they
were, the price is too small.
HARpER's New MONTHLY MAGAzIxE.-When the
Methodist Protestant said of that great American
monthly that g. the freside never had more de-
lightful companion, nor the million more en-
terprising friend, than HARPER's MAGAZINE" it
spoke the sentiments of every intelligent and ap-
preciative reader. 1t is the monarch of Ameri-
can publications, and is not excelled by anything
printed in the Old World. No one who reads it
a wear will fail to renew their subscription. No
tice the prospectus for 1867.
IMPEACHMENT OF THE PREsIDENT.-That the
first important business of the Congress which
is to assemble next Monday will be the impeach-
ment of President Johnson, there is longer
doubt The charges are numerous, and far from
frivolous Hon. John A. Bingham and General
Butler have prepared articles of impeachment
and General Logan and Hon. John Hickman de-
clare they will spare effort which can lead to
breaking Andrew Johnson OF the position he mas
so infamously disgraced-
AHl-The editor Of the Solano Herald came
being expelled by the fraternity of this
State recently for advertising that he had mon
ey to loan. His bacon is saved by the following
explanation - The money belonged to a third
party, who had more confidence in our judg-
ment as to securaty than in his own. When we
get rich enough to have money enough of our
own to lend we shall retire, and not wait to be
expelled"
OFFICIAL MAJoRITIEs.-The official returns of
Illinois show that for Congressman at large Lo-
gan received 203, ,265, and Dickey l47 ,l5S votes
giving Logan majority of sc, l07. The official
vote of New York shows 369, 1873 votes for Fem
| ton and 1924 ,49l for Hoffman-givinp Fentou n
