IIfE NEW DEPARTURE' ACCEPTED
IN MANCHESTER.-An anxious crowd OF
penitent Democrats assembled last evening
at the new Chesterfield courthouse, in
Manchester, to listen to speeches delivered
by few misguided and ignorant colored
men, who have embraced Democracy for
the few paltry dollars it puts in their pock-
cts. They were imported from this city
for the purpose Of denouncing the Republi-
can nominees, and, if possible, TO confuse
the colored people of Manchester. We
know of no undertaking more serious, and
less likely TO have any effect upon the
masses of the colored people, than the at
tempt to lecture them through those who
have sold their birthright for little filthy
lucre.
Those who put them forward are scarce
ly to blame, as we concede to them the de-
termination to "defcat Radicalism" by any
and all means, but for the colored man who
lends himself tool to his would-be mas
ters we feel pity and shame-pity for his
ignorance shame for his moral degrade
ton.
A negro named Abram Hall, another
one named John Cooley 1--WE do not blame
Cooley so much, for he is nearer white than
black and fat, grcasy-looking, sleek me-
gro named Solon johnson, were the pecu-
liar champions of proscriptiye Democracy,
at Manchester last night.
Abe Hall said, while looking very much
ashamed of himself: 81 am a Conserva-
tive from the top of my foot to the heel of
my head" Jes' SO, Abe! We presume
you are. All their speeches were charac-
terlzed by that hypocracy one of their race
is bound to feel and exhibit whenundertak-
ing to persuade their hearers to adopt their
ideas.
The results of their labors were poor, i'm
deed, and did but confirm their colorcd
hearers in their determination to adhere to
the party Of their friends, and support it
more zealously in the future.
AT the conclusion of their remarks, Vim.
3. jackson, "a colored Republican, addressed
the meeting, and appealed to the misguided
ana deceived OF his race to come out from
among their enemies and unite with their
friends. Here jackson was mistaken, for
had he really desired to have them among
the 'respectables" the application Of s'me-
talIc' or 'green-backic" influence would
have been more potent. Jackson cxperi-
enced no difficulty in convincing his hearers
that the interest Of the poor man of both
classes were identified with the Republican
party.
If johnson, Cooley, Hall & Co., realize
no more profits from their lectures, than
they did last night, (unless somebody paid
them for their scrvices) Hall had better
stick to his brush and Cooley to his strop.
Ii both had good brushing with strop,
or stropping with brush, some enlighten-
ment might be gotten into them. We re-
commend it, only in pleasant humor, as
we are III favor Of free speech and thoug.. i.
II any Republican was induced by them
to vote against the Republican nominees.
we guarantee the color of his skin was
aohite.

New GOODS AND How TO GET RID
OF THEM.-Our merchants are daily re-
ceiving from other markets large quantities
OF new and fashionable goods. The un-
loading and reloading them at our depots
and wharls have made them quite lively
and active. As they are hauled through
the streets, the noise and din of numbering
drays and wagons remind us that something
unusual is going on around us. These
goods are delivered to their purchasers,
who, with their assistants, are busy as bees
unpacking, marking and arranging them on
their counters and shelves. Having accom-
plished this much, the next thing for the
merchant TO do, in order TO succeed in his
business, is to have plenty Of customers to
buy andpay for his goods, giving him fair
and just profit. Without customers old

some equally dicagreeable visitor (pardon

our merchants is, how are good paying
customers to be obtained? There can be
but one opinion. as to the means to be enl-
ployed. Adcertise and advertise literally.
The papers of our city are its life blood,
and are your best friends if you treat them
properly. Come up then, all you who

would like TO get rid Of, and tell the people

CORoNER's INQUEST.

Ff4f I51
A week ago last Thursday, Mr.. Ather-
ton was walking along the bank Of the
Sacramento, in front Of his house, when he
discovered a corpse lodged in some drift
wood which had caught in the branches of
a willow tree during high water. The
body was naked, much decomposed, and
must have lain in the position in which it
was found for several weeks. Mr.. Ather.
ton sent word to Coroner Schuler, and the
following day that official repaired to Ath-
erton's ranch. empanneled jury and
held an inquest over the remains. After
aducing all the information possible re-
lating to the matter, the jury rendered a
verdict to the effect that the deceased was
unknown and that he had evidently met
his death by drowning. After the inquest
the body was placed in cofil and buried
near Reid's ferry.
We understand that man called John
Scott disappeared about the first of Novem-
Der, and was supposed to have fell into the
Sacramento while attempting to cross on
the "beom" near Woodward's mill. Cor
oner Schuler thinks the remains found near
Atherton's were those of the unfortunate

WATCH THEM.

Senator Stewart has re-introduce his
complicated and bungling bill to provide
for the sale of the mineral lands of Cali
fornis, Nevada, etc. And now comes Sen
ater Ney, who introduces another BILL
which is merely supplemental to Stewards
providing For the donation of all tbe
monies received from the sale of mineral
lands, to the great Sutro Tunnel scheme in
which both the Nevada Senators are inter
ested. If Stewart would confne his legis
lation to matters affecting Nevada alone
heswould please Californians, as we think
thepeople of that State deserve some pun
ishmeht for sending man to the Senate
who, seems to favor monopolies on general
principles. The miners of this State are
satisfied with Sargent's Mineral Land Law,
and they should petition Congress to reject
Stewards bill. ~ m

RECONSTRUCTION.

The, Republican majority gthsUzs'
Senate, at the commencement ofthe new
session, reconstructed several of the most
important of the Senate Committees, plac-
ing Cameron atfLe head ofthe Conmit'
tee 90 Foreign Affairs in place Of Sumnel,
and removing Trurabull from the head o!
the Judiciary Com aittee. This action q
the part Of the majority has caused con-
siderable commotion on the part of the
numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and hench-
men Of Sumner and Trunbull, and in
fact the two old barnacles are hugely dis
gusted themselves. Indeed it is said that
the bloodless TrumbaIl and snappish Sum
nera threaten in their wrath to "break
things busthe resultsofs their efforts in
that line will not amountto anything very
alarming as they have already broken their
own necks-politically. Wendell Phillips
formally left the Republican party last
year, and headed Democratic movement
by which he hoped to break the Republi-
can ranks in the old Bay State, and Trum-
bull, Sumner & Co. are drifting upon the
rock whereon Wendell was, wrecked
Let them drift; they are implacables whom
no party wishes to claim. The removal Of
Sumner could no longer be avoided with
out serious detrimen. to the interests Of
the country. His egotism and insolence
had become unbearable d HIS hostility to
the Administration was, and is, bitter and
unjust. He induced Motley to disregard
the instruction of the Washington Cab
met on the Alabama claims, and arrogated
to himself prerogatives belonging only to
the Government of the United States
He avoided intercourse with the President,
whom he has slandered and wrouged, and
was not on speaking terms with either the
Secretary of State or the Assistant Secre-
tary Notwithstanding. all this, the Sen
ate permitted him to hold his position
at the head of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs, until the English and American
Commissioners met. in Washington to ad-
just the Alabama Claims, when the in
terest of the Government demanded that
the Foreign Committee should be headed
by some man with whom intercourse could
be held and business transacted. Hence
Sumner was removed, and the party says
amen, with the exception of his relations,
pensioners, and the few New Englanders
who think the sun rises and sets at his COM
maEd.

IRISH DEMOCRATS WILL HAVE,
THEIR RIGHTS OR TRY WHATVIR-
TUE THERE IS In BOLTINC

From the San Francisco Monitor1
"From time to time we receive communi
cations from various parts of the State
relative to the political status of our coun-
trymen in California The gist of these
letters is that Irishmen of intelligence,
education and respectability feel they have
not that amount of influence which, proper
ly, is owing to them in the councils of the
party to which they have invariably given
their support The Z emocratic wire. pull
lers act upon the convenient principle that
they are sure of the Irish voters, anyhow
that, consequently, they have no need of
troubling themselves as to whether their
candidates are acceptable to them or not
and that, finally, when the. division Of the
"spoils of victory comes, the Irish share
may safely be made infnitestmal. In short,
the plan is to use our people as lever
wherewith to elevate others into office; to
deliberately play upon the attachment Of
Irish voters to the Democratic platform.
The individuals who want to get nominal.
ed to Conventions, for the purpose Of bar
tering their votes, affect great deal Of
windy sympathy for Irishmen and the
cause of Ireland but, as soon as the votes
of their dupes, at the primaries, secure
them the object of their exertions, their
sympathy, like Bob Acres courage, oozes
out at their fingers ends. They should
assume an attitude which would let the
wire-pullers and professional conventionists
very plainly know that they were no longer
to reckon the Irish voters among theil
private property, or number them among
goods and chattels to be bought and sold
as occasion required"

THE GRANT-HANC0CK UNPLEAs-


The New York papers publish the cor
rsspondence which took place between
Graut, sherman and Hancock, relative to
the ALLEGED slight shown the ,latter.A The
Tribune gives the following far summary
of the Whole affair:
We punt tfis morning voluminous ex-
tracts from the correspondence between
Gems. liancock and Sherman N reference
to the former gentleman's reclamations
against an assignment which he thought
unsuited to bis rank and dignity. The
quest on may be stated in nutshell. Gen
Grant, for reasons Of public neoessitJ, was
compelled to override certain orders of
Gen. Hancock in..teW Orleans in conses
quence of this Gen. Hancock assumed to
ward. Gen. Grant an unfriehdly attitude
when they sniet ia Washington; Z; later,
General Grant, on the decease Of General
Thomas, assigned Gen. S,hofeld to the
Command Of the Military Division of the
Pacific, and did not assign Gen Hancock,
whose commission was little older than
Schofeld's; all of which he had perfect
right to do, Again, when Gen. Sheridan
went, to Europe, Gen. Hancock thought be
should have succeeded him in command of
bis DiSisiop. The President and Gen.
Sherman did not see. the necessity of this
change, preferring to ,gretain the position
open for Sheridan on his return
1t is difficult to imagine what General
Hancock expected to gain by the publica-
ton of this correspondence. 1t represents
him as petulant and Jealous to the last de-
gree, devoured by sense of his own i'm
lportance, and utterly unable to comprehend
how any other officer could be preferred to
him for an important command. The let
ters of Grant and Sherman, on the other
hand, are kind and conciliatory, treating
the offended General like hayward boy,
whom they would rather coax than compel
into obedience The whole affair i'll deser-
rves the space it has claimed but it seem
"a pity not to give General Hancock the
benefit ofthe publicity he has so indus
triously courted. efa ?" -
