The ..Buifetfn- Oh Radical Thieves
Sly Dig at Gorham
Speaking of the San Francisco Radical
County Convention, the Bulletin of last Tues
day says:
The security this city threatened by organized
band of thieves and ocered by whose natural Craft
by their experience Of
ton and their knowledge of municipal matters. They
have for consulting counsel, arch schemers whose
ambition seeks wider fields than the spelling Of single
cities. Their advisers, whose probiiy
proby the people have already passed setting wires
by which they work their puppets in the Union Mu-
nlcpa Convection. These c5unselors want Hothins
for themselves directly of the municipal treasury
citizens pockets but ndisputable that they have
debts to pay and that they desire to pay them through
the Convention.
We have no doubt of the truth OF the above
statement. But it is not the security of San
Francisco alone that is threatened by organic
ed bands of Radical thieves. A much more
dangerous band in Congress threatens the
security of the entire country. Every State,
county and city is cursed with such " organ
lied bands" The people, however, have
found them out and will take care that they
do not again have opportunities to spoil ci-
ties or rob the nation.
The covert attack on Gorham in the fore
going extract is worthy of notice. That
gentleman's success gals the Bulletin and
Union; but they are cowed and now only
venture to insinuata what last year
they boldly asserted. The tide-lander," f"
the ''railroad-swindler, the lobbyist, the
"Coolieite," after his defeat in California
went to Washington, and was recognized by
the Radical leaders as the representative
man of Radicalism on this coast. His ortho-
doxy was rewarded with lucrative Federal
office. He returned to the State that so con-
temptuously rejected his services, fully de-
termined to reward his friends and punish
his enemies. Long hair is at a discount.
Short hair is at premium. Stand from
under. The crack of his whip is felt by
the Bulletin. "Arch schemers whose ambi-
ton seeks ,cider fields than the spelling of
single cities" shave debts to pay, debts
of vengeance as we'll as debts Of gratitude
and they will pay at least an installment of
them Through the Convention" Mother
Alta, 90 out and meet this wrathful Coriola-
nus. Get down on thy knees and intercede
for the Bulletin and the long-haired beast
with many heads that butted him away.
TRUE CAUSE Of THE CAMILLA RIoTs.-
The recent acts of murderous violence in
Georgia were undoubtedly caused by an ut
ter disregard of the laws of the State, and
&c kbo hv
whose especial duty it was both as partisans
and citizens, to respect and enforce them.
The laws of Georgia forbid armed organiza-
tons of men. The Governor of that State
issued his proclamation forbidding assem-
blages of armed men. In violation OF the
law, and in opposition to the proclamation,
Murphy, an ex-Agent of the Freedmen s
Bureau, with Pierce, Radical nominee for
Congress, took an armed force, mostly ne
roes, with flags and arms, In procession,
with boxed guns, and large amount of pro-
visions, and started on the road to the town
of Camilla, to have public speaking. The
Sheriff met this illegal horde outside the
town, and urged its members, as was his du-
ty under the law, to lay aside their arms
before entering the place. They refused to
do this, but marched on, in contempt OF the
,
banners flying, in defiance Of constituted au-
thority, and farms to 1.-THE ready" in def
ance of Gubernatorial proclamation. Having
proceeded thus far on their illegal mission,
they commenced to use their arms, and the
subsequent carnage was the consequence.
''Let US have peace !" Compel lawmakers
to obey the laws IS. f. Call.

TIE STOCKTON Posi- OFFICE.-The Stockton
papers have been complaining greatly Of the
way the Stockton Post Office is conducted
We think they must have good cause of com,
plaint A little over two weeks ago we
sent letter to Mr.. Jesse Eoff, formerly
of Big Oak Flat, containing certificate ol
cancellation of registration in this county
Last Wednesday evening, Mr.. Gardiner, oul
County Clerk, received letter from the
same gentlemen stating that he had received
no letter from us and requesting Mr.. Gardin
er to send him a certificate of cancellation
The request was complied with, but Mr.. Eof
will be lucky if he gets it in time to be regis
tered in San joaquin.
