The Caucus Of Republican Mem.
bers Of the California Legislature
has set Aside Cornelius Cole, their
present Senator, and nominated
Aaron a. Sargeant, who has repre-
seuted one Of the Congressional
Districts Of that State some ten
years. He will unquestionabIy be
elected ON the day prescribed by law
to-wit, next Tuesday, as the Repub-
lioans have . handsome majority on
joint ballot.

the railroad was completed in little

owes his election principally to the

The telegraph brought 10 the
grateful news yesterday, that Aker-.
man had resigned, apd that the Hon,
Geo. a williams, Of Oregon, had
been sppointsd Attorney General In
his place. ,,f.ss2 .,. gs3s
Judge Williams WAS one Of the
Democratic Territorial Judges Of
iowa, and has hold United Statos
Court 10 Ottumwa, and will bs recol-
lected By many Of our older citisens.
Al an oarly day bo emigrated from
Keokuk to Oregon and directly
thereafter became the leader Of the
bar Of that Territory. When the
war broke lont he sschowed the Dsm-
ocracy and was prcminent ioyalist
and Republican ell during the con-
dict, st. the close. Of which he was
tfiumphantly elected United States
Senator in the place Of Nessmith.
II is not too much to say that no
man ever made reputation faster or
better in one term in the Senate than
Geo. II. Williams. He Was unani-
mously and vshemently urged by the
Republicans on the Pacific Slope for
. place in Gen'l Grant,s Cabinet at
she inauguraticn, and when It Was
necessary TO survey tho entire Soun-
try over to select men well known

Commission, he was selected BY
common consent ~ having just ex.
actlY the qualities Of mind and edu-
cation to creditably serve his country
in that important and delicate daty.
Judge Williams Is IN the prime Of
life, possesses one Of the very finest
judicial minds IN the country, has
elegant physique, and impressive
presence, most exemplary habits,
and irreproachable purity Of private
and public character, which will all
combine to make his appointment
exceedingly honorable 70 tho admin
istration and beneficial to tho country
st large.
Akerman, the retiring Attorney
General, had much more IN him than
the public gave him credit for q the
outset He Vas ''Singe Cat" of
the first water; yet his section, the
politics Of his State, and his antscs.
dents were al against him, and
greatly weakened his influence in
the councils Of the Nation. His re-
signstion, and the appointment Of
Judge Wiliiams will meet with gen-
sral and hearty approval.
