Messrs Editors:-Thsrs has very little o
interes. tfxs.pired here since I las. wrct,
you.
On Monday the Radical Diatriet Conven
tiUn assembled here and nominated N. Cal
derwood for Collector; John C.. Bogss 70,
ksSSssor, mud Nm. Durk fcr Sspssvisor. -
Also. lesser nominations for Township otficss

"Dabes IL the Woods" in tho way Of a Jus

med Gorham 4 Co, down the throals OF The
'uccessfnl asriran,s. although whom ttsis
State ,irkst was talked about il brought nu
spontaneous ssmhusiasm, but fell still born
upos the listless ,brong.
TIE Convention nominated very weak
| ticket. Caldsrwood is very unpopular, even
| with the men Who served under him, besides
hs has not got the elements If popular ~
in bis orgsnism; which you know goes q
great wa,s in carrying a candidate through
a campaign. Put him dows for stesrsgs
ticket. .up Salt River. ~
John G. Bcggs 10 we'll known in the coun
y and district rs a constant officer hunter,
and an inveiers,s Know Nothing. who has
damned the Dutch and Irish for years; and
Who does not hesitate to say. be would ra,h.
ct let a nigcer vote vote than 4 damned
foreigner. because he is a native born! Our
foreign born population have not forgotten
R"ges's snmisy towards them, and they will
balance accounts With him l.. The ballot boz
in September next.
Bill Ducks fate i. sealed. lie went down
to the Radical County Convention 10 get up
a County ,irk.t in favor Of the r abroad bu,
he did not make his points in favor Of the
insti'u u,ion. In fact. he was let out. H.
has got the nomination fnr Supervisor he.
cause Crorksr has ordered him to do so.-
The Railroad having los, the legislative nom.
iness ara now trying 10 secure the Assessors
and Supervisors. You see Why Duck wants
to Be Supervisor. But our people want no
Railroad candidates. We have been caught
mapping once. but do not intend to be sgain
We want a Supervisor who will look after
the interests Of Placer, county, and moi
s-tvsut to the Pacific Railroad Company -
Boys. spot this Duck-vole against lin.

visor.. they ara dangerous fi.h to handle; il
you handle them a! all, do so wilhou, gloves.
There was very little speech making in
the Convention. One little fellow. with bis
face covered all over with hair, hating from
Dutch Fla, and by the name Of Brown, af'.r
being nominated Ju.tice Of The Peace OF No.

Taking this Convention, all in all, it was

There was one thing ia the action Of the
Radical S,ste Convention which has struck
me very forcibly. Wren il ground out
Gorham. Parks, Howell and McCary. as
their standard hearers. these PhaIise%s
turned up shsir Indignant noses at the pirat'
zeal crew. and swors hastily that, though the
H.aveas should tail, they w.uhl never sur.
port such mass Of eorrup,ionis,s and
.~indlsrs. N" epi'hst VAS vile and coarse
enough to express their Indignation. Bu,
yesterday. noticed several Of them s~al
lowed the mass without sugar coating. Two
weeks ago 20 have heard them talk. you
would have supposed ,ha, San Qu'nt-n had
furnished them With ticket, and tha. the
pubic would have to call in the aid Of a
Cacruh to rid the State Of such dangerous
men.
The ~hipper in has been around chas,i.s.
had their eyes opened to the belief thu, Cor
ham h Co.. are homes, politicians. ind will
MT rob the state Of more than tho people
can spare. Is this not beautiful &, mn,en

knowing that the interests Of the State will
no, be safe in their hands They have l"tt
their manhood aud ars slaves to party. and
dare no, when they know they are wrong
do that which is right.
III this be true, indeed,
Some Christians have comfortable creed"
The Democracy are daily making arc-s
.ions 10 their ranks. We are confident, ,hx,
w will redeem old Placer from the clutches
Of Radi"alism, and once more hand it over
TO party tina, will pay more attention TO
white men and less to negroes.
The Dem ocrscy all through this section
are very anxious .ha. Judge Arnold shall he
placed upon the IT, ket for Prosecuting Al.
,ornsy. lie is an allie man. and will make
Craig feel that he has no lease or claims on
the POSITION. We hope to 'ss the Judge
the nominee. and pledge ourselves to roll up
