C~ongre,s;oaal Caudidoies.
In the First District, at present rep
resented by Axtell, about a dozen
names arc already mentioned for his
position. Republicans do not much
care for the expensive and doubtful
honor Of nomination In this district,
rs 1t Is hopelsssly Democratic and
welded without possibility o fdivorce
to Democratic hercsles. james IL.
Lawrence, publisher of the Mariposa
Free Press, and Senator from Mariposa
county, f. j. G.. Kcwen and a. D..
King, Of Los Angeles, j. ID. Hamilton
and James ii. Hardy are all spoken Of
likely men, though some think that
Axtcll will try very hard for another
term at Washington. In the Third
District the slate makers figure OH
John NJ. Coglan. Of Suisun, Charles F..
Reed, Of Yolo. aud l.. b. Miner. Of
Benicia, as Republican candidates,
while wonderful to relate even rtumor
has not yet whispered the name Of
anv one Oh the Democratic side rs
willing to contest the field against
these Champions. SUCH Is the long and
certainly not very interesting list Of
those who openly propose to become
our Governors and lazy makers. How
many secretly cherish vain ambitious
Is beyond mortal ken, but for every
avowcd candidate there are certainly
fifty with private hopes, each II of
whom is doing his little best to further
his own particular designs.
Tho whi,r-Cox Libel Case.
For a real downright nasty case,
reeklng with pruriency, and lasciyiou'
detail, nothing equals a suit in which
your truly pious is n plaintiff and your
still more truly plou' a defendant. 1t
is always so and always will be 50 as
long rs the mere fact Of church mem-
bership Is a recognized cloak for all
the sins in the decalogue. DR.. Elijah
White, whose action for libel against
brother Cox l mentioned IN my last
letter, has stirred up one of the worst
pools OF moral fllthiness that has as
the nostrils of the public for
some time. The old sinner who testi-
fled that he had been fifty years n
member Of the Methodist C~hurch-lav-
ING been converted when about fifteen
to have had the pr~oclivitles
of q Mormon but with u tendency for
other mems wives, above the average
clsrp cteriStic Of q Salt Lake Saint.
The Jury did not hesitate q moment
about their verdict, but at once ac-
uuitted the clerical Doctor OF the
Of malice. thus saying by infer
cncc that the Medical Doctor had not
attained that spiritual perfection that
n members life of fifty years In the
Church would lead the out
side world to expect.
Tho Law and ID Lottery Mauia.
An attempt has been made during
the last week to enforce the law
against lotteries by arresting n vendor
Of tickets in the Marysville scheme:
In the case was pronounced
to-day. Judge Sawyer holding that the
Enabling Act passed for the benefit Of
the Mercantile Library repealed the
penalty for an infraction Of the law.
But no sooner was the decision given
than the Chief of Police ordered the
a rre,t of +. w. Gross for advertising
the scheme. so that the legality of the
will come up in n new form.
