oROvuLE. SATURDAY. NOV. 8. 1866.

E1-GovERSoK JOIN BIGLER, If appears. has
really been appointed the Federal Assessor Of this
district in place of Mr.. Avery. Upon presenting
his papers, he was told by the present incumbent
that he could not have the Office. whereupon it is
said Bger has appealed to the authorities at Wash
ington. United States District Attorney. Lake,
upon being referred to- gave it as his opinion, that
the Ex-Governor was entitled to the Office. No
sabe. John. His appointment seems to have crea-
ted some astonishment and stir among the innocent
sovereigns, who do not appear to understand that
the Ex-Governor is simply politician, and ready
to 60 with any party that can furnish him with an
Office 1t was an appointment that sent him with
the Breckinridge bummers in their attempt TO de-
stroy the Union. for every true sentiment of John
Biglers heart was for the Union. 1t was the un-
worthy ambition of the mere politician for place
and power that destroyed the manhood within
him. 1t was an appointment from those that he
had persstently fought during his political success
with the people that captured aad enslayed him.
He accepted an appointment from Buchanan and
Gwin, and sailed upon foreign mission. while
Broderick. his early companion, friend and chief
was murdered by the party that gave Bigler pre-
ferment. His lion heart accepted of no favors from
his life long enemies, and the enemies of the Cu-
ion and his mutilated corse was borne 10 Lone
Mountain while John Bigler sailed upon a foreign
mission Does the recollection of your murdered
friend never make you curse the hankering for Of
fee that appears to control you. John Bigler, and
to crush out the innate manhood Of your nature,
so that you could desert Broderick for Buchanan
and a Breckenridge, Bglers mission ended when
the Government passed from the hands of the enc
mics of the Union in 81, and upon Bigler's return
TO his home the promptings of his nature almost
amounted to patriotism; but the visions Of an Office
rendered by a convention of the Mcconnell party.
held him captive, and he lost all. His abstinence
from Office has whetted and sharpened the prompt
ings of the politician and the least opening of the
door, proved sufficient for his admission. Ned
Marshal used to say that the team that Bigler
drove across the plains, had not been unyoked or
ceased painting after their arrival in Sacramento.
before Bigler was rnnng for an Office J. pretty
good illustration of the true politician; and one
that leads us to the belief that it is not John Big
ler-ex-Governor Bgler-that is scrambling for
appointment to the paltry position of Federal
Assessor; but simply the laundering of the politician
after ofice-a power that. in the present instance,
seems to be stronger than that of wine, women or
truth. This Avery Bgler embroglio, it appears to
~, mere squabble Of politicians for place, that
which neither will emerge with the approval of his
console nee unless politicians are indeed, utterly
remorseless.

A BEE TAMER.-The following is description of
bce-charmer who has been exciting great interest
at the New York State Fair, held at Saratoga:
One of the greatest attractions on the ground
was great honey bee monger, whose hat, while on
his head, was covered with bees. which appeared
like small swarm on bush. He handled bees as
if they were harmelesS flies. They crawled all
over his person. in his hair and on his face. and he
put some of them in his mouth and blew them out
and handled them at pleasure. And what was most
remarkable is. they were strange bees, attracted
from the woods or from colonies in the country.
Immense crowds of people hung round him. con
tinualy asking questions and purchasing the secret
of collecting bees from the forest or robbng their
neighbors of their busy workers by remaining
quietly at home. When every bee was shaken from
his hat and it returned to his head, the buzz
ing swarm about him would quickly return. com
pletely covering his hat. The Superintendent in
terfered. he affirmed that such an exhibition
drew away too many people.

THE STATE CArrroL.-The Alta. of saturda,

THE STATE CArIroL.-The -fha. of Saturday,
has the following on the Capitol building:
The foundation Of the State Capitol is cracked in
a number of places. aud the breaks are of such a
character it will be impossible to complete the
structure of granite. if the people would con-
sent to spend ten years and fonr or five million dol
lars on the work. BY constructing buttresses. the
basement may be stfened sufficiently 10 bear the
weight of couple of additional stories of brick.
In consequence of the flood. the level of the first
floor and the hei ght of the basement walls were
raised ten feet so that the foundation will have TO
bear greater height of wall when completed than
was intended in the original design. There will be
some dissatisfaction in Sacramento at the refusal
OF the Commissioners 10 finish the building with
granite. but the condition of the foundation re
qures change to some lighter material. materi-
al with which lighter wall can be built. The ar
chitects say that ii the entire superstructure were
to be of granite would be necessary TO tear down
the founpstion and rebuild It; hut more than
half 3 million dollars have already been spent on
it. the tax payers of the State would consent
TO such a course

"AS OPEN LETTER TO ANDY JOHNSON. The
Chico Courant. of last week, publishes an open
letter to Andy johnson, in which the President is
informed that the writer thereof has cheerfnlly
supported the Presidential policy, and is disposed
to continue that support, but cannot endorse the
Apo intment of Ex-Governor Bigler as the Federal
Assessor of this Internal Revenue District. Now,
Of course every is the proper judge of what he
can stand, in politics as well lager. 1t might
very naturally be supposed that any one who can
endorse President johnson can swallow John Big
Ter great many sensible men do not see why a
person who can swallow the Camel, Andy johnson
should strain at the Gnat, John Bigler. 1t seems
to many like aclever presentation of the sublime
tragedy of the COW, that swallowed full grown
Pumpkin, but choked to death on a Potatoe. We
believe the Cou,anf man is Federal office holder
for a neighborng county, and we advise President
johnson to chop of his head at once It's evident
that he won't do for the President to bet on"

MExico.-From all accounts, and from the Just
expectation of the public. the cruel invasion of
Mexico by France and Austria, is about to termin-
ate The Frenc h are evacuatng the different ports
and sections of which they have had possession, and
the steamer has sailed for Vera Cruz that is to
vey Macmillan to Europe and to the privacy of his
home at Miramar. 1t is stated that the French
troops will be concentrated at San Bias, and march
from thence to Vera Cruz, and that Corona. the
gallant Mexican chief who has proven inveterate
and formidable enemy of the invader, is preparing
to open "a fire in their rear, if he cannot intercept
and cut them off. Guaymas has been evacuated by
the French and they are preparing to leave AGA
pulco and Mazatlan.
Thus ends the attempt of European powers to
establish monarchy on the American Continent.
Those Americans who denounced their govern
ment and country, and swore allegiance to the Aus.
trian and French usurpers of Mexico are likely to
find themselves under the protectorate of the Uni
ted States as it is understood that Juarez has
asked for this, and that it will be granted The
United States have recognized the Juarez govern
ment all through the troubles that have encom-
passed Mexico, and in restoring that 10 power and
giving peace to Mexico against opposing factions
they are but pnrsung consistent and appropriate
policy. For this purpose it is reported that body
of twenty thousand troops, under Sherman or Sher
idan. are to be quartered in Mexico for that pur-
pose. So that those renegade Americans who are
determined to hide themselves from the sight of the
Federal uniform, will have to renew their denunci-
atoms of their own country, and go with the for
eign legion the lately curtailed diminions of the
house of Hapsburg. We should suppose they are
prepared by this time to endorse the sentiment:
"Our country. always right-but right or wrong,
our country
But for the rebellion of the Southern States the
attempt to establish Monarchy in Mexico, would
never have been seriously entertained by France
and Austria. And the wonder is why they did not
recognize the rebel Confederacy and fight it
out on that line The success of the Monarchy
clearly dependent upon the success of the
rebellion that the failure to do seems inexplica-
bic. Not that such course would have insured
the OF these two projects, for always be-
eved in the ability Of the American Government
to whip the rebel lion thus backed up. And il was
this belief that made admire the position Of Sen
ator McDouga on this question. He was never so
far lover the bay, but what he had proper con-
ception of the invasion of Mexico and was in favor
of driving the European invaders and their allies.
the American renegades, such as Gwin and his fol
lowers, from her boundaries. But they are going
now. 1t is as well. perhaps that they have fallen
by their own weight. Mexico has maintained her
Republican Government, and the southern bounds-
~ of the United States will be Strengthened from
the Brazos Santiago to Cape St. Lucas.
