For District Judge.

The nomination of candidates for Judge of this
the voters, and which they will probably be
called upon to decide by the latter part of July.
The Office is not only lucrative and important,
but its capable and impartial administration is
aneytiJ cannected With the geeeral welfare, and
it is high time for the people to cast about and
inquire concerning those who wish the position.
The Hon. Z. Garter, of Shasta, is candidate
for reelection, and is the only aspirant on the
Republican side. As Judge OF this district for
the last six years, Judge Garter has merited and
obtained the respect and confidence of the peo-
pie generally, winning golden opinions from
friends and foes alike as able Judge, court
eous and attentive, but prompt and decided
when sitting for the despatch of business. In
this county jury trials before Judge Garter are
almost unknown, litigants preferrng that their
disputes be altogether adjusted by the court.
No one can make an accurate estimate of the
condition of political parties in the three coun-
ties composing this judicial district-Siskyou,
Shasta and Trinity. They are probably about
equally balanced, and Judge Garter's nomin-
alton will be necessary to insure Repub-
lican triumph for the reason that he will un-
doubtedy run ahead of his party vote. On
the Democratic side we hear of Hon. A. NJ.
Rosborough, of Siskiyou, and the Hon. C. E.
Williams, of Trinity, as being the probable con-
testants for the nomination at the hands of that
party. Of Rosborough we know little, further
than that he is now, and has for sometime, been
County Judge of Siskiyou county, and is said to
be quite popular there OF the Hon. c. E. Will
liams we can speak knowingly, and il our rec
concentrations would have any weight with the
Democracy of this district they would be given
in his favor. Judge Williams is classical
scholar and reliable lawyer, and, what ought
to recommend him to the party, straght-for-
ward, out-spoken, consistent Democrat. If
through any possibility are to have Demo-
cratic Judge, let us have C. E. Williams To
take purely local view of the matter the coun-
ties of Shasta and Trinity ought to go together
and retain the Judgeship in one of those two coun-
ties, if possible, matter of convenience to
the people. Yreka being not only equally re-
mote from both, but for part of the year diff
cult of access

SEwARD.-Snce it has been announced that
Wm. II. Seward is en- route to California the press
generally slobber him with praise. Seward, a
year ago and 5000 miles away, was styled by
the same press an 'old fogy," and g traitor
TO the Republican party besides being called
monomaniac on the subject of annexation by
purchase. But since the ex-Secreary is coming
nearer and will NEE: the 90 Bohemidns' face to
face, he is the greatest man in the nation-the
greatest diplomat and philosopher living-a per-
feet sage. We are inclined to believe if Andrew
johnson should "swing around the circle" and
arrive at Sacramento, that the "independent
press" would gush over his great craftsmanship.
Mr.. Seward was great man. There was a time
when he was beloved by his Republican friends
Base treachery cut the cord, and we who adored
now pity. Our opinion has often been expressed,
but with pain, at the political recrenncy of VIM.
Ii. Seward. The near approach of the falling
Star and descending meteor, bedazzles eyes.
but when it has passed away only full concep-
tion of Its glory remains. The great political
orb is about setting down on the western hori-
zon, and while we are charitable we must be
trne to principle. Everybody will be pleased to
see VIM. Ii. Seward-happy to shake by the
hand and thank him for what he has been His
venerable age warrants respect, and his past
greatness due acknowledgement. - MarysuWe

CUBAN AFFAIRs.-Chili and Peru have recog-

to recognize that as the best de facto government
of Cuba. lie has taken the request under sd-
visement, and will return bis answer in a few
days. 1t is now certain that the party of Npe
bay fllbusters have formed junction with
Quesda's army. The rumors of severe fight,
between Cuban insurgents and the Spanish at
Puero Padre are confirmed The Spanish were
beaten; but they say they have got even in the
capture of fifty flibusters and the killing of
fifty more sixty miles from St. Jago de Cuba.
The Cubans have raised the question whether
since Dulce and many of the leading regular
Spanish appontees in Cuba have been deposed
by the mob of volunteers, there is such de jare
Spanish government in that island as the United
States can recognize and transact business with.
They are now confident of the success of the rev.
olution, and claim to have immense assistance
from this country, Mexico, and South America
The Spanish Governor of the Trinidad district,
Cuba, refusing to be deposed by the volunteers,
is reported to have been assassnated Two more
expeditions, numbering six hundred, have landed
in Cuba and joined the revolutionary forces
The Cubans have organized their forces into two
army corps, one Of which is under General Jor-
dan, who has two thousand Americans in his

the President is already fulfilling his promise
that if the appointees in the new Administration
did not fill properly their positions they would
be removed. Two newly appointed Collectors
and one Assessor Of Internal Revenue have been
removed, for the reason that their performances
fell short of their undertakings as public officers
This course will be pursued as far as the internal
revenue is concerned. Commissioner Delano
says, with regard to failure to collect the whole
tax due from any given district, it will be con-
sidered prima tacia evidence that the officers are
either inefficient, incompetent, or dishonest-a
fact which will be deemed sufficient ground for
suspension.
