HUNTING quail over rough hills and gulch-
es these hot days may be fun, but we can't
"see it, Having by an unexpected stroke
of good fortune become the possessor of a
double barreled shot gun, the game law
having become defunct and Saturday after
noon being traditional holiday among
printers, from the devil down to the editor,
threatening destruction to the feathered
blpeds we sailed forth on Saturday last with
high expectations. After travelling over the
hills for an hour or so, the sun beating down
hot enough to broil fellow, we at last, to
use Nimrodic phrase, "fushed" flock of
quails but We were SO much flushed
with excitement that we forgot to attempt
to shoot. Promising to do better next time
we followed them as closely as possible, and
as they rose, one after another from the
chaparral We brought the gun to our
shoulder. but before we could '.get sight"
and pull the trigger, the bird would be in
visible. Such things are aggravating and
we made up our mind that the first bird
which got up would have to suffer. The
next moment, as if in answer to our wish,
we heard the futtering of ones wings. and
without stopping to get sight of the object at
all, threw the gun quickly to our shoulder,
shut both eyes and our teeth tightly together,
shrinking instinctively back and holding our
breath. we pulled the trigger. There was
no report. We had neglected the very i'm
portant operation of "cocking" the gun.
Cursing. as the editor of the Dramatic
Chronicle would say, our ''bucolic stupidity"
we cooked the gun and proceeded. After
that we lad fine shooting. The gun went
every time. and so did the game. We are
convinced that shooting-at quail-is our
forte. We got one before night however.
We were hunting along the course of ditch.
A quail flew up and we attempted to shoot
it. As we pulled the trigger We noticed
that another one flying in an opposite direc-
ton acted as though there was something
the matter with it. Whether stray shot
struck it, or whether it was suddenly taken
sick, we do not know. At any rate it tum-
bled into the ditch, got drowned and we
fshed it out. Disguised with quail hunting,
we went down to Coleman's, where we
struck the liveliest game we ever saw-dIaw
poker.

United State Senator.

Although the Democracy will elect the
next U. S. Senator, yet, in common with all
citizens OF California, we should be glad to
have an honest and able man sent as our
Senator to Washington. The mining coun-
ties are entitled to this Senator, as Mr.. Cole
was selected as the representative of the COM
mercial and agricultural interests of the State.
Our two great branches of industry should
have each man, identified with its peculiar
interest, in the Senate of the United States.
We are aware that the popular choice for
these high positions is usually selected from
the legal fraternity, and many suppose that
unless man is lawyer he cannot properly
represent us in the law-making branch of the
Government; but this is one of the illusions
that is fast passing away. Every branch of
business should be represented by some one
thoroughly conversant with its details, and
then, if legislation is demanded for it, the
legislator can frame law that will be &C.
ceptable to the masses engaged in the occu-
patton. 1t will not be long before the mining
interest of this coast will demand some radi-
cal change. We are fast passing out of the
old system of placer mining, and, with the
prospecting for quartz, the erection of mills
and improvements in machinery, a more
stable and comprehensive system of laws will
have to be prepared and enacted, and no one
could represent US so we'll in Washington as
practical miner. In order that we may have
such representative, we would recommend
to our democratic friends, A. II. Rose, of
our neighboring county of Amador. For
years past Mr.. Rose has been a successful
quartz miner, and by his industry and sagac-
ity has accumulated snug fortune. On the
death of Mr.. Seaton, Senator elect of ANA
dor, two years ago, Mr.. Rose was elected to
fill the vacant seat in the Senate of this State.
He did not enter upon the duties of his posi-
ton until the session was considerably adj
vanced, but at once took a commanding
position, and was looked upon as one of the
soundest and ablest men of his party. We
know there are men in the democratic party
who have been more literally educated, and
who have had more parliamentary expert
ence; but we doubt if they have a candidate
for that high position who has more natural
ability. or who would carry more experience
and observation into the Senate, than Mr..
Rose. We do not wish to influence the dem
ocratic party in their choice, but as a citizen
of the mining region, we have deep interest
in the selection of Senator, and do not
know of a man in the whole section who
would make so good representative as our
friend, A. H. Rose.

Weekly Calaveras chronicle., 1867-10-05

Our San Francisco contemporary and
namesake, the Dramatic Chronicle, seems to
have a sort of chronic affection for the word
"bucolc." 1t rings as many changes on it
as the Examiner does on the word mon
grel." Such sentences as ga bucolic con-
temporary" 1.-THE bucolic press" and "the
bucolic editors" are to be found. ad inf,,ituns,
in almost every article and in every issue.
We are unable to discern anything particu-
larly witty, smart or humorous in the mean
ing of the word, its frequent use or its con-
slant application. A person who makes the
pretensions, in all branches of literature, that
the editor of the Chronicle does, and has the
assurance to criticlse the productions of 9TH
ers, if he possesses the requisite genius and
talent to maintain the position he assumes,
should certainly be lenient in passing judg-
ment upon his less favored brethren. 1t
seems to US that a man who is constantly
speaking of and referring to others engaged
in the same calling as himself in contempt
uous and sneering manner. although he
possibly may be their superior in some par
ticulars, is either disgustingly vain, egotisti-
cally impudent or lamentably ignorant. Mr..
Bowman is evidently an educated gentleman,
well read in political history and polite lit
erature. His editorials are we'll written and
his style is humorous, pungent and piquant;
but for all that, there undoubtedly have
been, are and will be just as able men as Mr..
Bowman is, although they may not be con-
nected with the "bucohc" press. Such SEN
timents as he embodied in an article the
other day in relation to newspapers. are I'M

The scene that followed is thus de-

one of the petitioners, to take one Of

up in arms and an immediate demand
was made by the female portion of the
family that Jeff. Davis himself pro-
ceed to the ncighbor's house and de-
mand satisfaction. He accordingly
proceeded, rang the door bell. which
was opened by the lady herself. after
which the following colloquy ensued:
