San FRAscIsoo. August 10, 1870.
A TRIP tt SACRAMENTO.
1t is very interesting, at this season Of
the year, to take the journey through the
great wheat growing region of Solano and
Yolo counties, on the route between San
Francisco and Sacramento. There Is no
pleasanter water ride than on our beauti-
full Bay, when the wind permits one to
walk on the steamers deck and view the
grand panorama as it swiftly flies by.
The Hudson and the Rhine are widely
celebrated for the grand and picturesque
scenery of broad river and rugged nights
inclosing them. and voyagers delight in
describing the beauties and recording
the impressions received. On those
streams the mountains rise abruptly, and
every feature stands out sharp and dis
tinct; but on the Bay a wider expanse Of
water gives a greater variety Of scene.
and, Distance lends encbantment to the
view The large ships about the city
front. the Golden Gate. and the ocean in
the dim haze TO the westward. the rugged
sides and frowning batteries Of Alcatraz,
the wide Bay. spotted with the sails Of
the many sloops and sehooners that ply
upon the interior waters, constitute ont
of the pretiiest pictures imaginable, and

they have debased themselves to elevate
the doxn-trodden Of other nations, that
native Americans Of good moral eharac-

respect shown them, as persons who had
not control over the accident of their

HARD TO PLEAsE.-Some of the papers
make a point Of the circumstance that
no celebration occurred on the anniyer-

partial reader will remember that before
quitting Paris Napoleon issued an order
that the money customarily devoted to
that celebration be given to the soldiers
Of France, and the fete be omitted.

Democratic Propos't

The Democrats who uphold aud de-
fsnd the Albany platform have been
loud in their denunciation of Republi-
cans, because they say that the 9Th res
plution means repudiation. They ap-
peal to the law definition of equitable
adjustment, and conclude that the term
is the very embodiment Of right. They
have harpad 50 long on this subject
that they, no doubt, actually believe
that no wrong is contained in the reso-
luton, and that, if rightly construed,
really means to pay the debt in full.
9hose persons who talk thus have GER
tainly forgotten the first part of the
resolution, that declares "that the
amount of the bonded debt was in
creased more than two fold by the We.
nal, illegal and unjustifable terms of
its contraction, is neither justice or
wi DOM" therefore must they resort to
equitable adjustment.
The whole thing, taken together, can
mean nothing else than that something
must be Topped off, and if any sum is
declared not due then there 10 repudia-
tion; nothing else can be made opt
Of il.
Fhe orators of the Democratic party,
Messrs. Grover and Slater, say pay in
gseepbacks the full face of the bonds.
Yhis they call equitable adjustment.
Now, when it is taken into consider
alton that the Government don't own
but . few thousand dollars Of green
backs, 1t will be seen that the project
of paying in greenbacks is impractica-
,ble. But the said orators say that the
Government should print more green.
backs. But at this iuncture q decis-
ion of the Supreme Court steps in and
forbids the issuance of more green
backs. Now the only alternative lef'
is to pay the bonds at their face, in
gold coin, or repudiate, These are. the
two hosas Of the dilema, and our oppo
nents may grasp which they please

The Mercenary 5s4sS
JOHN o. SHELTON.
CHAPTER I.

In presenting the biographical sketch
of q noted individual Ia this county,
we give, as the Grst chapter, the fol-
lowing from the Weekly Democratic
Press of the 2lst inst:
We have few men in this county,
formerly Democrats, who ure engaged
in the expectation business. j. o. Shell
ton, the sgo>bctween for your gentle
Jasper, appears TO bo q kind oil leader.
What comment on the God>and, d,mor>
ality party, when we see it engaged in
such dirty business as this. To see it
employ such simple creature as Shell
ton, proves conclusively that what it
lacks in knavery it makes up in fool.
This creature Shelton, some time ago,
was leader in a Good Templar lodge,
spending portion of his time in gro-
Gerry; between these two he vibratcd.
While under the influence of one, he
made an assault on a saloon keeper,
and when governed by the other, he
cour.ad the parsons daughter. Failing
to kill his man, and blast the. prospects
Of the fair, ] @. pogsed out, and, for
time, gave over the pusuit Of happi.
ness, in the shape of a wife, and spent
his time fighting his shadow on the
wall. With on empty packet and q
broken heart, out of love, out of cash,
he sucked the last drop Of ten cents
worth of whisky and left. After the
passage of Infamous Fifteenth Amend
ment, Shelton turned up again in pur>
suit of q wife. In his eye, The dusky
maid Of the forest became lovely and
he looked upon B. L. Whitson to see
what could be done in his behalf
Whitson informed him that Of that
kind, he had hardly enough to supply
local demands and referred him to La
follett. j. O.'s prospects are lovely
and in consideration OF his labors, in
behalf of the glorious Union, soon af.
| ter the Ides Of June, he is to lead TO
| Hymen's blushing altar one of the fair.
est of all the fair daughters, rolling in
pleasure, lice and dirt, on the banks OF
the eyer-murmuring Yamhill. He is
the chosen vessel, kind Of swivel, on
which to turn TIE Union of the races,
in the bosom Of domestic bliss. AT
present he is engaged by the Abolition
party to do its dirty work, and illus
trate the term .the Christianity and
Spirit Of the age" We will write nc
more ON this point, as the upright and
virtuous Gault promises to expose all
rascals engaged in trying to defeat the
wish Of the people All we have &c
s,y is, if Gault fails 10 exposing these
rascals, Shelton, Matheny and others
he is as bad if not worse than the mean
est man in his party. Come, Ganlt, nc
craW>fshing; give these fellows thun
der, expose them or your honesty il
damned.
