The DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES AND THE IRISH

The DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES AND THE IRISH
VoTE.-The time has gone by when the Democ-
racy can count on the vote-almost en- mdsse-of
the adopted citizens of Irish birth. Evidences
to this effect have been more or less apparent
for years past but at the present time this dis
affection promises to become more marked and
general than ever before. In California and at
the East, there seems to be utter GOODNESS on
the part Of the thinking and reading lrishmen
toward the Democratic candidates for President
and Vice Presdent-a total lack of enthusiasm.
The sleeps clothing no longer hides the wolf
that has preyed upon them. How could it be
otherwise? There is not the first element to
elicit even common respect attaching to either
candidate For President they behold in Sey
mour a man who, while they were fighting one
way, was pulling another, and whose "friends" "
pulled from his horse and murdered in the
streets of New York the gallant Colonel . Brien
while on duty. They know to their sorrow, that
while they were fighting under Corcoran at Bull
Meagher at Fredericksburg, that this same man
was plotting against them-was trying his ut
most to stay the draft and prevent timely succor
from reaching them. They know that while,
with Shields at their head, they fought and de-
feated Stonewall Jackson, that the rebels under
his command on hearing that Seymour was
elected Governor of New York, gave three rous-
ing cheers for their friend and sympathizer.
What effrontery would it not require to ask them
to vote for such man The spirits of departed
heroes-of Muligan, Corcoran, Meagher-would
rise up in the mind of each voter and forbid the
foul stigma upon their memories. In Francis
p. Blair, the candidate for Vice President,
man still more obnoxious is presented to them.
How could they possibly retain decent self
respect and vote for this lampooner of their
race ?-Sdcrdmento Bee.

AN IRISH SETTLEMENT UNANIMOUS FOR Grant

AN IRISH SETTLEMENT UNANIMOUS FOR GRANT
The Philadelphia Press says =" Ten years since
there came to Nebraska party of hundred
Irishmen, all of them without dollar in the
world. They were worth only their spades and
Democratic vote apiece. They took up land in
Douglas county, around the then unknown town
of Omaha, and now all of them enjoying af-
huence, and many of them wealth. Now, with
comfortable homes, and their cattle covering
hundred bluffs, a political as well as social
change has come over these American citizens
of Celtic descent, and every one of them votes
for Grant and Colfax. So it goes all our eoun-
try over. Lift man out of the gutter and you
raise him from Democracy"

ration of rebellion, the Unionists of this county
know their duty and intend to do it.

Protection AGAINST INDIANs.-The following
correspondence is published at the request Of
ex-Assessor John McCammon, and fully ex-
plains itself:
FRIEND GORDON On the 18th of August Mr..
David Gray and myself called on Capt. Pollock
to ask protection from Indians. We stated that
it was necessary that some soldiers should be
stationed at Burnt Ranch to protect the inhabit-
ants. He told us that he could not give a def
mite answer for two or three days, at the expira-
ton of which time received no answer. Some
seven days afterwards 1 sent him a note asking
whether he intended to send soldiers or not, and
received the following letter in reply. The let
ter pronounce fabrication in every particular
it contains not word of truth. We asked for
soldiers, but no number was specified.
He stated to us that he had ten Indians scout
ing on the Redwood-that they were we'll armed
with Government rifles, but did not say that they
were in pursuit of the Indians who shot San
burn, as he intimates in his letter.
Yours truly, JOHN McCAMMoN.

Chinese prostitute was murdered in her house on
Main street. The deed was bloody one, and
done in the most approved Chinese style. The
murderer used Ratchet and nearly severed
the head from the body, cut the left hand COM
petely off, and inflicted some frghtful gashes
about the head and neck. The victim must have
been lying on the floor when the blows were ad-
mnistered. All Ham, a Chinese butcher, bought
new Ratchet that evening, which was after
wards found, covered with blood. The Coro-
ner's jury on Sunday morning expressed the be-
lief that he was the perpetrator of the deed
He was the road to Shasta next day, but

WHERE THE SOLDIERS ARE Manufacturing
the arrival of a steamship with several hundred
regular soldiers, the San Francisco Morning Call
ventures the following suggestions
ave beg to call the attention of the General
in command to the great need that exists for
troops in the northern part of this State to pro-
tect the lives and property of citizens. In Hum
boldt county, for instance the people live in
constant fear of an Indian rising, which will give
the dwellings of the white settlers to the flames
and themselves, their wives, and the little ones,
to ruthless slaughter. The Indians are insolent
and the few troops already in the country are
wholly insufficient to keep them in cheek. An
additional force stationed at Fort CASTOR, Hoopa
Valley, would prevent re-enactng of those
scenes of blood which thrilled the State but a
few'years ago, and inspire confidence in the white
residents"
The proposition may seem plausible enough to
the San Francisco editor, but the settlers in the
section referred to will not second it with very
great avidity. The experiment has been repeat
edly tried, but not much benefit resulted from
it. That protection of some kind is actually
needed in many localities we know, but % Red
wood Jim," with twenty of his red brothers,
well equipped, can do much more effective SER
vice in the mountains of Humboldt, Trinity and
Klamath than a hundred regular troops.

VERMONT HAS SPoKEN.-The Green Mountain
boys have sent up the first victorious campaign
shout to the tune of 80, 900 Republican majority.
The victory is greater than was anticipated, be-
ing an increase of from 1000 to 10, 200 over the
majority of last year. There is little danger in
counting on 10000 majority in that State at the
November election. The vote for President in
1864 was naturally larger than that for Gov
ernor. While the majority of the Republican
candidate for the latter Office was less than 49,
600, that of Lincoln was 29,O9s. 1t is reason
able to infer that if the State has this year gone
Republican by 10000, Grants majority over
Seymour will be much greater than that of Liz
coin over Mcclellan. Maine votes next Monday,
and we hope to receive second edition of YER
