FOR COUNTY CLERK.
PEST House, May ODD 1869.

PEST Horsr, May o2d lseo
To the Voters Of Trinity County In coming
before YOU for the Clerkship il is necessary to
tell YOU who am, what-I am, also to state my
poliiical proclviies: ] am what is called in
this county Il Southerner as my grandfather
only brought fifty pounds of tobacco, belong
necessarily to the second families. My parents
were honest, but when was born that imagin-
ary redeeming quality died out in the family. l
never eat any fire; claim not to be part horse
and part aligator-probably I'm cross between
a velocipede and wheelbarrow. "No sd6e,
John - Never tried whipping my weight in
wild cats, tame cats or pole-cats; in fact, I'm
not in the cat business, being candidate before
the Union primaries for the nomination OF County
Clerk but can thrash any man who attempts to
cough me down. | am bound to be heard this
time. There is no use Disgusting the fact, grass
is getting short and | must be nominated. Po-
litically, am in favor of the next war; think
filibustering an innocent pastime that ought to
be encouraged by government; am IN favor OF
the 18th and 10th amendments and to insure
my nomination, wonld go still farther, and in
dorse the 18th apd 18th. Besides all these quail
i6cations am social, genial cuss occasionally
indulge in a ''sniftero' of good Bourbon, and
can chew more tobacco than any man in the
county whose name is not Jones.

IN STATU GOETHE English press and Eng
lish statesmen seem disposed TO consider the A.
ALBANIA question for the present as a Gordian
knot. 1t is significant that the Irish question is
fast slipping into the same ted-fast condition
If violence continues and reaction takes place in
public sentiment, it is not impossible that the
contemplated reforms in Irela I'D will fail of pas
sage in Parliament, and then there will be dan
ger of another rebellion in the course of which
there will be opportunity for practical ilIustra-
tion of what Interpretation of international law
is best for England and best for u.s. Even
should no such extreme results follow the an
prehension of them will tend 10 modify the views
now so siontly adhered to by British publicist3
The very dead lock TO which we have come NAV
be the means of showing the way to the only So
luton which would be best for hoth namely,
quiet and complete transfer to US of all British
possessions on this contnent,o and a settlement
of accounts on that basis. Great Britain cannot
afford to sustain the doctrine that it is proper to
recognize a rebellion belligerent on the sea,
before it has any existence whatever off of dry
land. She admits carelessness in letting cruis-
ers escape: but does not like to acknowledge
that there would have been no cruisers but for
her. If she dare leave us free TO act toward Ire
land upon her own precedents, there is little
doubt that our opportunity for retaliatory COM
pensatlon Will come in time. Whether she re-
fuses to introduce reforms in Ireland, or con-
cedes the fullest liberty, there may be a strug-
gle in the one case revolt against wrongs, in
the other a strike for independence 1t is not
our sword, bnt hers that will eventually cut
this Goroian knot, if she insists upon treating it
as such .-Sacramento Union.

The Situation In Spain,

Spain presents an extraordinary spectacle
One of the worst monarchies has been peacefully
orerthrown and exile is the only punishment in
ficted upon the royal family for three centuries
of oppression. From the barharous despotism
of Philip to the stupid absolutism of Isabella,
during three hundred years, the voice of tolera-
ton was dumb, and light, liberty and progress
were crushed to earth in Spain. In the memory
of those three centuries of wrong it would not
be strange if, in 6ery nation like the spaniards,
the oppressors should be vindiciiyely dealt with
the only wonder is that these fiery people have
not been guilty of greater violence than they
have. Some statements would indicate that the
liberal masses were disposed TO be guilty of ex-
cesses toward the Catholic religion and priest
hood, but we can see that the Spanish liberals
have been discreet and there is no great dancer
of the papists being wronged in Spain We
should regret to see the Spanish democracy mar
their moderation by any persecution of Catho-
lies or Catholicism. Give to both of these the
largest freedom and liberation, and give to every
other sect and people and opinion the same
freedom and federation. If it does this, liberal
ism win commend itself and be justified of wis
dom, and there will be a future for Spain

CHINESE TEsrIMoNY.-Judge Mcfarland, now
holding court at Auburn, Placer county, has
ruled that Chinese testimony is admissible
against white man. The case is that of Rob-
ert Anderson, indicted for the murder of a Chi
naman at Forest Hill, in June, 1868. The pres
ecution offered for a witness a Chinaman who
was present, and his testimony was objected 10
by defendants counsel. The court overruled
the objection, and admitted the testimony, on
the ground that our State statute is repugnant
to the fourteenth article of amendment to the
constitution of the United States.

II: negroes have the right to vote and make

whites"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1869-05-29
The Bulletin says:

"Thousands of the white people who are nd-
dressed by Democratic leaders in the most affec-
tionate terms, are denied equality of social
privileges. and no legal prescription is necessary
to keep them out of the parors and families
where they are not wanted except as servants
a civil war was necessary to break up the syste-
matte intrusion of the whites into the families of
the blacks; but there is no danger that such Il
terrible resort will be needed to prevent the
blacks from retaiating."
