Mr.. EdgaFston, who fivesseven miles

reason to believe it was picked up from
Mr.. ShellhOrn's counter.
Judge O.B.Hewett, Republican can
didate for District Attorney for this
Judicial District is now canvassing in
the western Counties. He adressed
the citizens Of Pawnee on Monday
evening last, and delivered an excel
lent speech.
On Tuesday Evening last the citi-
zens OF PaWnee City and vicinity had
the pleasure Of listening for several
hours to Senator Upton and Hon. T.
M. rquette-twO Of the finest Ora
tors Of the State. Although the evening
was wet and cold, the House was
crowded 90 Its utmost, and both SDea-
keTs did fuu justice TO their reputation.
The House rang with applause scores
of times.
Judge Z. W Thomas, although
challenged by his opponent, Judge
o. B. Hewett, several weeks ago. and
afterwards invited by the Chairman Of
the Republican Central Committee to
discuss the political issues involved in
the present campaign, through this
Judicial district, has so far failed to ar,-
pear on the stump. He probably thinks
his prospects fOTelectiOn would not be
increased by public discussion in
which hewOuld be compelled TO adYO-
cate and defend the doctrines Of his
party Besides he is probably aware
thathe wiz be inevitably defeated any
how, that II is useless to spend time in
the canvass.

new, a colored man In Richmond, Va, pur-
chased his freedom from Mrs. Dejarneue,
Of Hanover. Va. Just before the war. for
s. 900, agreeing to pay the amount by in
stalments. During the tendency of the
struggle he paid about one half Of it an Con-
federate currency, which was at last so de-
preciated in value that his late mistress re-
ouested him to discontinue the payments
until the close of the conflict. When slavery
was abolished the debt was, of course, no
longer due :; but. notwithstanding he was ad-
vised against such a course, Dabney lately
transmitted to his old mistress, now in lndi-
gent circumstances, $500 in greenbacks.
being the balance of the s. ,o0oh had con-
tracted to pay. This is but one of many ex-
ampies that mi m be cited, illustrating the
generosity of emancipa,ed slaves toward
their former masters or mistresses. We
lately heard distinguished Southern lady

slavery-relare several incidents OF this sort
that had lately come under her own observa-
ton.

SAN FRANCISCO DISPATCH.

SAN Francisco, August 4.-The Figaro,
through A. X. Henry, sues F. NacCrelish
of the Alta for $40 900 damages for announc-
ing the suspension ofplaintitf's paper.
Fourteen months ago Mr.. Lazarus Cohen of
Vallejo. came to this city with 81 $50 in cash
and L. S. bonds. He disappeared, and it
was supposed by his family and friends that
he had been fouly dealt with. A letter just
received from him at New York states that
he was robbed and sha nghaed on board ship
in a state of nseEsibiiity. The ship was
wrecked on an island, and when all expected
to be lost sailor confessed the crime, and
restored his share of the plundtr to Cohen.
He got to sea alone in a small boat, and was
picked up, and taken to New York, broken
down in health and pocket. His extraordi-
nary story is fully believed BY his family and
business partner.

THg MARYsvILLE APPEAL's BEr.-For
some time past the Marysville Appeal
has had q standing Offer of bet OF
81 900 on Grant and Colfa1. The other
day some Democrats went to the Appeal
office with an offer to bet some money
on California. This bet was declined !;
and tbereupon the Copperkesd press set
up shout that the Appeal man had
craw fshed. Here is the way the matter
stands as related by the Appeal: ~
Some weeks ago we advertised that we were
authorized to bet $1,000 on the election of
Grant and Colfax. One day last week John
P. Campbell called upon US. and said he had
come to bet us 81 900 that Grant and Colfax
would not carry California. We informed
Mr.. e. that we had advertised no such bet,
but We were authorized to bet 81 900 on the
general result. After a good deal of talk.
and several visits by Mr.. Campbell to the Of
fce, he and Mr.. Whitaker, foreman of the
Appeal, agreed to bet $500 on the general re-
suit, and left the office together to put up the
coin. They, however, found the bank closed,
and finally went to MarcuSe 4 Bros. cigar
store, where they proposed to put up their
checks. Campbell then drew check for
81 900, and insisted on betting that amount,
which Of course diversified Whittaker's pile.
Whitaker insisted on betting his $500, but
Campbell wanted 81 900. The parties then
and some industrious body IA wait
er in the Western House, we are told) pub
lished all over the State bv communication
that the editor of the Appeal had been backed
down from the proposition to bet s. DOC on
Grant and Colfax. The whole matter rested
ill Friday. when we called at Marcuse'S and
enqnired il Campbelrs ST. 900 was ready.
We were informed that the money was on
deposit, but he was not authorized to bet it.
We then gifted Mr.. Marcuse that we wanted
the bet. and would give Mr.. Campbell one
weeks time to take or decline it. The $1,000
in gold coiE was placed in the hands of Mr.. |
Marcuse last evening, and if MIR. Campbell !
does not accept the wager i'll a week, some |,
other good Democrat can have the opportu- |
nifty. We hope the Sacramento Reporter,
Grass Valley Union and other papers pub
fishing the Msrysville letter stating that we !
had been backed down, will do us the justice
to publish this item, or its substance.
