SAcRAHENro.-The following are the nominees
OF the Union party fer the approaching municipal
election Of Sacramento: For Trustee, David Ken
DALI City Auditor, John McClintock; City Assessor
Edward R. Hamilton; City Collector, D. A. Merritt,
The primary elections TO this nominating oonven-
tien were held under the law passed at the last
session of the Legislature. As the proceedin rs of
the convention were quiet and harmonious, and not
interrupted by war with spittoons for weapons. the
law governing primary elections is supposed to
work well. We must adopt ii here in Butte and
mayhap we can also have harmonious and salts
factory convention.

A Cool REPLY.-A well known lawyer of Nash
vile presented for the twentieth time small bill
that had been left in bis hands for collection. The
party who was requested to pay ia dry goods
commission merchant-protested the utter inno-
cence of his purse of anything resembling green
backs. 1.-The old, old story was told again-at ten
O'Clock in the morning" Vexed at his repeated
failures, the lawyer, as he was about to leave said:
81 am tired of this affair, and guess I'll have to
shut your shop until it is paid' The remark was
received with perfect composure, and the man,
locking the door and handing the key to the gen.
tleman said cooy I'm save you all trouble about
the matter, my agitated friend. Here is the key to
the concern. Take it, and run this BUSINESS for
me. shall be more than satisfied. All ask of
you is to let me loaf around occasionally and see
if you make anything out Of it. l can't, and l
have great curiosity to see you or any other man
make the trial." The lawyer left.

1MPEACHMENT.-The House Judiciary Committee
reported on the Impeachment that large number
of witnesses had been examined, and many docu-
ments collected. Everything had been done which
could be to reach a conclusion, but the investiga-
ton covers broad field. embraces many novel, in
teresting and important questions, and involves a
multitude of facts while many witnesses live dis
tant from the capital. owing to which the commit
tee. in view of the magnitude of the interests in
teress involved, has not concluded its labors and
therefore is not prepared to submit definite re-
port. The committee not having fully investiga ted
all the charges against the President of the United
States it is deemed inexpedient to submit any con-
cusion beyond the statement that sufficient testi-
mony has been brought to its notice to justify and
demand further prosecution. The report is sign
ed by all the committee except Rogers, who says
there is not particle of evidence sustain any
of the charges of the committee on the grounds
alleged. The extremists of the House will endeav-
or TO raise special committee on the impeach-
ment of the President, with Butler as chairman
instead of Wilson of Iowa. The intention is to
constitute the committee so as to insure extreme
measures, but success is improbable.

The DEMOCRATIC PRorEsT-The speech of Mr..
Brooks, of New York, in the House of Representa-
tive on the 4th instant characterized the proceed
ings of that body as revolutionary. His protest,
signed by all Democratic members, was as follows:
Whereas, the record shows that seventeen States,
viz: New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Tennessee, Kentucky. California, Arkansas and
Nebraska, representing eighty Congressional dis
tricts not represented the floor of this house
and whereas, of these unrepresented States seven
of the original thirteen which, in l7S7 created
the Constitution of the United States; therefore
we, members elect of the fortieth Congress, now
enter our most solemn protest against any and ev-
cry action to the organization of this house, until
the absent States shall be fully represented.

SEE PARIS AND DIE.-A gentleman Of ST. Louis,
Missouri, writing from Paris says: See Paris and
die, Is an old saying which indicates is authors
appreciation of the beauty and spendor of thin
most charming city. So far as the appreciation b
concerned can heartily endorse his enthusiasm,
and would add that no man should deem HE edu-
cation complete until be has seen this. the most
comp lete city in the world. The acknowledged
metropolis of fashion. il is less pre-emnent for
its archtecfecture-its collections Of art-its law
and medical insitusions-its broad and clearly
streets, among which the Boulevard and Champ
Elysees prominent-with three rows of trees
and ornamental grounds on either side of the car
mage track, adorned with neatly shorn grass, fow
ers and shrubbery, which, even in these melancholy
days, the saddest Of the year, beautiful, and.
when crowned with the foliage and beauty of sum-
mer, must be enchanting. l wish our Mayor and
Common Council were here to observe the cleanli-
ness and order which prevails throughout the city,
The streets swept every night, during the hours
when honest men are supposed to be in bed, as
every morning the garbage and ashes are required
to be deposited at specified place in each district
by certain hour. The failure to do this in a spe-
CITED time involves serious penalty. This accu-
mutation is promptly removed by the city carts,
and by nine A. NJ. the streets as clean scay-
engers, by the aid of brooms, and running water
in the gullies can make them. 1t is a positive
luxury to drive or walk through the city-the
streets being not only clean, and the atmosphere
untainted by villainOus Odors, but the principal
macademized streets are as smooth as a floor Then
again the police are 50 numerous, and their discip-
line SO perfect that entire order prevails, and it is
said to be as safe to walk the streets of Paris at
midnight as at noon-a contrast this to the city of
London, where garrotings and robberies are almost
of nightly occurrence.

STUFF The Red Bluff Lndependent thinks the
BUTTE RECORD the only journal in California which
enjoys the doubtful honor of opposing for the gu
bernatoria chair that noble pattern of an Ameri
can farmer-John Bidwen. We have spoken of
Bidwelrs selfish acts since he has been in Congress
and of his unparalleled presumption in Offering him.
self for Governor, when he has actually accom-
plished nothing for the State, or the district he
represents, but every thing for his own ranch. We
should probably have said nothing concerning his
gubernatorial aspirations but for the fact that the
RECORD was assailed by his silly trumpeters, who
would bring the elective franchise into disgrace by
the selection of candidates. We repeat we do not
care who may be chosen Governor, so that he rep
resents the sentiments of the people. Bidwell is
nobody, but will probably do for Governor as well
as anybody, if the people say so. But mobile
pattern of an American farmer there are fortu-
nately for the reputation and the honor of
American agriculturalists, but few among them
who view it in that light There is not one other
intelligent, civilized and respectable farmer in all
America, who would hold in peonage to do his farm
labor, a tribe of dirty yermined Diggers, and then
have the foolish presumption to ask the white la.
borers of California, who are using every exer-
ton to dignity and ennoble labor to make him their
Governor. 1t was Pope, We believe, who said that
IA want of decency is want of sense Still,
if the people want him for Governor. We have no
objection; but do not wish to compel the people
"to eat crow" If they 'hanker'' after it that is
another question. If they choose to make him
Governor for his patriotic services aud intense de-
votion to the cause of John Bidwell, all right
How 1T Is RECEIvED.-ln the absence of the re-
construction BILL passed by Congress the veto,
We give the veto message of President Johnson,
from which our readers may be enabled to form
some idea of the provisions of the law. The tele-
graph gives assurances that the southern people
will at accept the situation, and select dele
gates to form conventions in accordance with its
requirements. A delegation from Virginia is in
Washington, to whom, as it is reported, the Pres
dent said he would execute the law to the letter.
At meeting held in Atlanta Georgia. on the 4th
instant, resolutions approving the law and the
course of Governor Brown, were rejected The
meeting then divided, those who sanctioned the
law Withdrawing. The majority organized new
submission to the law, but characterizing it as
harsh and unjust, approving the course of the
President, and other col de rol about the manhood
aud honor of the Southern people. That of course
is admitted; in that respect they are above susp
cion. practical view of the situation however
appropriate.
