SNEAKING BACK.-Now that the State is
under Democratic control, many of the old
vultures who proved upon her substance be-
fore the war, are sneaking back, like jackals,
to renew their banquet Calhoun Benham,
VIM. NJ. Gwin, and others, set sail for this
State as soon as they became convinced that
their scalps would receive Democratic pro.
lection; and now we perceive that Judge
Terry, and murderer of the lamented Brod
erick, has also arrived and taken up his res
iience in Stockton. Let these facts stimulate
Union men to greater effort, and by activity
and good management we may again purge
the State of these vampires.

PARDoNED.-President johnson is still en-
gagged in making treason odus-in his own
peculiar way. His last effort in that line
occurred on the 4th inst, and consisted of
proclamation pardoning all persons who par
ticpated in the rebellion. except such as are
under indictments in u S. Courts for felony
and other crimes. This proclamation con-
ficts with certain laws of Congress which
prescribe how disabilities may be removed
from participants in the rebellion. We give
the proclamation
Now. therefore. be it known that I. An
drew johnson, President of the United
States, do, by virtue of the Constitution and
in the name of the people Of the United
States, hereby proclaim that Internationally
and without reservation to all and erv per-
son who directly or indirectly participated in
the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting
such person or persons as may be under
presentation or Indictment in the United
States Courts having competent jurisdiction
upon charges of treason or other felony, full
pardon ana amnesty for the offense of trea
son against the United States. or of adher-
ing to their enemies during the late civil war.

which any person may have been legally di-
vested under the laws of the United States.

The FouRTH.--The orator of the day on
the Fourth at San Francisco made casual
allusiOn to the name of Gen. Grant, in the
course of his review of the Nations rise and
progress; whereupon Democrats became
highly indignant and created a disgraceful
disturbance Affairs have come to pretty
pass when the name of the chief soldier
of the war for the preservation of the Gov
ernment cannot be mentioned on the ami
versary of the Nations birth without ava
kening a storm of Kisses and creating DEM
ocratic uproar. The names of Grant, Sher.
man, Sheridan, and other heroes, are insep
erably linked in with the history of the Re
public, and neither the objections nor malice
of Democrats can blot out their noble record
or obscure the brightness of their fame.

We believe, which presents such inducements
