The Infamous Sentiments Of .
Radical Judge.


In the Sacramento Record Of August 3lst,
the following sentiments Of q distriot Judge,
asd the endorsement Of them by one OF his
0eaos, appeared:
Judge Mcfarland said last Fall that "it werc
better that our daughters were given over to
prostitution, our sons TO the gamblers, our wives
TO the embrace Of the negro. aud ourselves to the
devil. than that the destinies OF this Lard be
committed to the care and keeping Of the Demo
cratic party" 1t is fearful alternative. but
the Judge has an emphatic way OF telling the
whole truth.
A sense Of duty alone induces US 10 recall
10 the minds Of the people OF Placer and
Nevada this vile ut,erawce OF their highest
Judirisi officer. For The sake Of the dignity
al tho bsncb-for the good nsms Of the Ju-
dietary Of Caiifornia-ons would gladly lot
this d.vilsh notion Of Judge Mcfarland 60
without further publicity. Had his party
sent him into that retirement, voluntarily.
which awaits him in October next, We would
have spared q revival Of that indignation tho
above sentiments oaed forth, when in the
interest Of y party, he Rrst dared to pro-
claim them. But, inasmuch as the Radical
convention has re- nominated him, and he
ha. responds by standing again for election,
it is right add proper that this hiJeous fana-
ito should be exposed at every irsside;
sLamed il possible, on every hustings, and
hunted down wherever he 10 bold enough

office of Dislic' Judge.
We have often heard upon the stump
and even in moro deliberate debate

and impurity Of heart. 1t is sometimes call.
ed forth when high political hopes are sud
denly dashed or personal grievances are
sharp in their sting. 10 the heat OF party
strife words are not unfreque"'ly spoken,
which, 10 calmer moments the same lips
would refuse to utter. But we challenge the
whole record Of partisan rancor to show any
where or at any time, adeclavation more fear
ful in ito impo,t or more Infamous 10 its char
acter than the words we have given above.

Fa,land ba. branded npon his vandslls Wis

lie has not the ulsa OF inexperleDce or The
mitigation Of youth for his defence. VIII
fully and knowingly. in Tho hearing OF in-
telligent men, aud for the promotion OF a
partisan end, he leaves the judicial seat, and
avo~s himself the most shocking bigot that
ever wore our humanity. To charge that
he is more fit for the supervision OF an Insane
Asylum than the dispassioBats duscusslcn
OF other mems rights, is but putting pro-
position clear 10 al rigbt-think'ng mon. On
the score Of common decsncv, he ia proper

II We consult those feelings common to every
husband and father, We are fo'ced to con
cIuds that 10 his breast political hatred has
utterly consumed them its malignaot hses
Aud when wa add 10 all this tho fact that
he is both lawyer and judy e-schools in
which care and d-hbera,ion are taught as
the proper guardians OF every word and
thought We use or entertain-we see loom
and da'kness pervading this mans soul
through which there can scarcely steal one re-
deeming raw. His place should DO without the
pale Of decent society. Ills hsun,s should
be with The bloody minded Of bis race. We
assert that to retain him upon the bench
would b. a burning di.gracs to any party or
people. The rude DEGREES Of asavags trib-
una NAV inflict hardships upon hel pess sui
tors, but We question if more real cruelty
ever found place in the breast Of its Judges
than is linked with the feelings that promp-
ted the language above.
We call upon all good mon. irrespective
Of party to start at once upon this mans
track and never to relax their pursuit OF loose
sight Of this social criminal Till they see him
on the rack Of public opinion, suffering for
his blasphemy and shorn OF bis power
