CIRCUIT CoURT-JUDGE MEREDITH PRE-
sIDING.-For some days past the case of
Solomon A. Myers Us. Samuel Strong and
his creditors has been pending in this
court. Full arguments have been made
by Messrs. Lyons, August, and Wexford
for the plaintiff, and Messrs. Howson,
Smith, Page, Maury, Z. Y. Cannon, Spill
man, and Blackwell for the defendants.
The facts of the case are these: Strong
contracted to build a large warehouse for
Myers on Seventeenth street, for which
he received Myers's negotiable note, pay
able in ten years, and secured by deed
of trust on the building. Strong put the
note in bank as collateral security to raise
money, and while it was there, several of
his creditors attached the note in the
hands of the bank, and he (Strong) as
signed it to Messrs. Ould s. Darlington for
professional services. Myers now pleads
failure of the consideration of the note,
and wishes the parties enjoined by the
court from disposing of it. Messrs. Ould
& Darlington claim to be the bona tide
holders of the same for value received,
and entitled to recover the amount from
Myers. The creditors Of Strong wish to
subject said note to the levy Of their at
tachments.
The plaintiffs claim $4,000 damages.
The Judge withheld his judgment in order
to take time to consider.
The court then adjourned until the next
term, which commences on the first Mon
day in May next. The docket has been
considerably reduced this term, though
the Judge will have great deal on his
hands during the next, Notwithstanding his
energy and ability in disposing of the busi-
ness of this term.

Hon. William Highly.

Upon the adjournment of the Union State
Convention recently held in Sacramento, the
delegates from the counties comprising the
Second Congressional District, met in the
Sixth street Methodist Church, and organized
by the election of L. B. Mcfarland, Presi-
dent, and w. A. Davies. Secretary. Hon.
William Highly Of this eoanty. was re-nom-
mated for Member Of Congress from this
District. Mr.. Highly has long been promi-
nently before the people. and his antecedents
and record are by them well known. One Of
the originators of the Union party in this
State. in the several positions in which he
has been placed by it as an exponent of its
principles. he has acquitted himself with
ability. and won the respect, esteem and
confidence of his constituents. For the four
years past he has represented this State in
Congress. During that time fratricidal war
has been waged against the Government, the
country has been torn with internal dissen-
have been unremitting in their efforts, both
in the field and our National councils, to
overturn the fabric bequeathed to US by our
fathers, and erect upon its ruins system Of
Government founded upon slavery. Mr..
Higby's voice has invariably been raised and
his vote cast in opposition to traitors, wheth-
er occspying the Presidential chair or carry
/ ing mnskes. He ever has been and now is
an uneompsenissng supporter Of the meas
unes Of reconstruction proposed by Congress,
firmly adhering. under all circumstances, to
the taneis of the party which elected him.
His past record Is q sufficient guarantee to
the people Of this District that his course in
the future Will be marked by the same faith
fulness to principle and constant watchful-
| ness over the interests of his constituents
which has hitherto characterized his action.
I That his nomination Is acceptable to the Un-
ion voters. Of this District there can be no
doubt, and that they will roll up for him, at
the coming election. a large najosity. is
equally certain.

The "SAN ANpREAs' DExocR.r1c TIcxyI

The "SAN ANDREAs" DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Convention held by the unterriied
Democracy of Calaveras, in Mokelumne Hill,
on Friday, June, l4th, was slimly attended.
From the immense amount of blowing and
striking which they had INDUCED in for
weeks previous to the great event, we had
been led to suppose that they would make a
respectable showing, at least so far as num-
bers were concerned; but We were happily
disappointed. But sixty-three votes were
cast in the Convention and large number of
them were proxies. AS an item of interest
to our readers throughout the county we
publish the proceedings on the first page of
this issue. The ticket presented is a very
weak one. There are one or two names
upon it which might, under favorable cir
cumstances, poll the full strength of their
party; but compelled as they are to pack
the balance of the ticket. they will be dis
tanced in the race. The candidates for the
Offices of Sheriff. Treasurer and District At
torney, are residents of San Andreas !;
Mokelumne Hill being honored by having
one of her citizens chosen as the nominee for
the lucrative position of Public Administrator.
simply because San Andreas didn't want it.
The Convention adopted long string of
Resolutions in which, as matter of course,
there was the usual reference to Jackson and
Jefferson; no series of resolutions could be
, orammed down the throats of Democratic
Convention unless the principles of Jeffer-
son and jackson were re-afiirmed' in the out
set. The right of secession was emphatically
denied. but all of the evils and burdens
which have arisen from. the war waged fos
the purpose of determining that question in
the affirmative, were very ooolY laid at the
door of the party which fought to prevent it.
One of the resolutions says that, 'Iwhen those
in rebellion laid down tfeir arms and re.
turned to their allegiance. they should have
been received back and had all their former
rights guaranteed them." Certainly. If &
man attempts to stab you, and you succeed
in taking his knife away from him, you
should Immediately return it, with graciou.
bow, give him chance to get his wind and
try it again. Taken together. the resolutions
are composed of the same balderdash with
which Democratic leaders have tickled the
ears of the rank and file of the party for the
last century, slightly revamped to suit the
occasion. Had the Democrats put up 9
good ticket, judiciously distributed through.
out the county. and adopted the right kind
of resolutions, they might have made a 6xh,
that would have entitled them to a decen,
burial; but as it is now, they will be dead
SO long before election that they will stink
some San Francisco soreheads are tryins
to get up a National Republican Party.
