THE BIGAMIsT's PARDON.

The Presidents proclamation par
doning G. G. Bowen out of the pen
itentiary is a singular document.
Several reasons are specified for the
pardon, and among them that sit
appears that he rendered good SER
vice to the cause of the Union dur
ing the rebellion" The only SER
vice that neglectful history has
quoted was that in the character of
a carpet Dagger he swindled the ne
groes out of votes enough to send
him to Congress. The public inno-
Gently supposed he was rendering
more service to himself than ''to
the cause of the Union" by that
transaction. The negroes them
selves thought SO, and told him so
very plainly, when he applied for
the situation the second time. The
President should not be personal in
his favors. If Bowen's politics al
lowed him to commit bigamy at
pleasure. we see no reason for grum-
bling at Utah. If his politics are
sufficient to override the laws of the
country. a general jail delivery ought
to be had. and an unconditional par
don extended to all convicts who
can prove that they were eve elect
ed to Office On a Radical ticket.
Bowen's career has been an evil one
from his youth up, from the time
when he had to run away from his
native town to keep out Of jail fol
petty theft. There is nothing in his
history to recommend him to the
clemency of Courts or Presidents
save that he rendered ~''service to the
cause of the Union" by organizing a
Radical party among the South Car
DINA negroes. This was no case
calling for executive suspension of
the sentence of the Court. If hav-
ing three wives is a crime in anyone,
it merited punishment in the person
of this ex-Congressman. But If
Gen. Grant must needs pardon
Bowen, it would certainly look bet
ter to first allow a portion of the
two years time to expire. This
seeming haste to liberate his former
tool is discreditable.

BOOTH AND THE CHINESE.

The Examiner has drawn a damag-
ingdocument upon Mr.. Booth. The
Radical party of California attempted
in the State Convention to play the
demagogue on the Chinese question,
Notwithstanding its fearful record
including the constitutional amend
ments, Burlingame treaty, Congress
sional acts nullifying the Chinese
mining tax, and all State legislation
unfriendly to the Mongolians. Rad
ical journals set their sails to catch
the Democratic breeze on this ques-
ton as they did on railroad subsi-
dies, and voriferously shouted the
anti Monaghan sentiments of their
candidate into ears of the working
men. The famous letter of George
Gorham, written while a candidate
for Governor in 1867. in which he
expressed his ''fatherhood of God
and brotherhood ofmln" doctrine to
the fullest extent, will he remem-
bered by all familiar with the poll
tics of that day. In that letter he
emphatically declared himself ''"ot
IN ac0r Of tie aati-co0Ae m0rement:"
that he was opposed to the erection
OF an anii-Chinese wall at home:
that "if we could have cherp ha5or
in abundance the State would go
forward at such strides as would
make prosperity general among all
deserving classes; that '~'p1incip1e
and p1Hy both forjid the attempt to
make ua7. upon oar Asiatic brothers,;
that he was not ready to deny tie
rights of man to the humblest of his
creatures" &C., &c. Turning now
to the files of the Sacramento Union
of June 9th, 1867, a few days after
the publication of Gorham's letter,
the following appears:

PIOCHE.-From the Ely Record of
the 9th WI take the following items:
The funeral of John J.. Monahan
took place yesterday afternoon. He
was buried under the auspices of the
Pioneer Hook and Ladder Company,
of which organization he was Treas
urer. The demonstration was one of
the nos imposing and solemn ever
witnessed in Phoebe, a large number
of our citizens attending on foot, in
carriages and on horseback. Mona
han was "A native of st. sylvester
Township, Canada East, aged 81 wears,
and leaves a wife and three children.
About one month since he insured his
life for $40, 900 in the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York.
There is no body of men here as
Yet who can aspire to the dignity of a
' lgllance Committee or Committee of
Safety, and il any organization does
exist its members have not at heart
the good of the community. This is
too evident to every one. The better
class of citizens here are apparently
struck with terror. Though we are
opposed o organizations that that take
the law into their hands, We will say
that no community was yer yet so
loudly called upon to protect them
selves as this at the present time.

The Young people about Unionville
must be becoming uneasy. The COun-
ty Clerk finds it necessary to have the
following published in the Silver
State, in order to stop the matrimonial
flood which threatens TO overwhelm
that part of the country:
The County Clerk desires Us to in
form all persons contemplating matri-
mony, that the law does no permit
him to issue Licenses unless sati>fac
tory evidence that the parties are of
lawful age or have the consent of pa
rents or guardians, be given. If both
parties are OF legal age an affidavit
setting forth that fact will be re
quired. If both or either Of them are
under the age prescribed by statue,
the consent of fatheror guardian must
be given either personally before the
Clerk or in the form of "A certificate, to
be subscribed by two witnesses, one
of whom must appear personally be

the signature of the subscribing

GRANT M GREELEY.-The WASH
ington Capital draws a comparison be-
tween the rival candidates for the
Presidential nominations:
The ridicule and opposition come
with a bad grace from h journals of
the country. MIR. Greeley is a shining
mark in the American world of jour
nalism. And will we accept the NOM
ination of a coarse soldier, whose only
defense for his shortcomings is to be
found in his utter Ignorance not only
of political duties, but the common
decencies of civilized life. 1t is not
well to sneer at the claims of a man
whose intellect has added honor to
our profession. When that atrociOuS
old humbug called History ONE to
make up her balance between the
brutal soldier and the editorial student
between the maj who, after all. was
only the hand of another's intellect,
the blind agent of a wonderful brain
that conceived campaigns and fought
battles in the midnight chamber of the
War Department-and the man OF 9e-
Mus who worked his way from a jour.
printer to a position where his edito-
rails are of more influence than an
ordinary Presidents Message, we may
find ourselves put to the blush.

LOCAL POLITICS.

tSly Chances at the Workings Of the wirssl
Gen. Pope has returned, having Major
Mum in charge from Springfield, where
he has been during the past week over
looking the majors interests.
When the RAIDS get good ready we
wish them to fire away at Billy Martin.
We have several shots in The BULLETIN
locker for them, and are anxious to have
our fire called out.
The colored republicans, who arc I'M
der the domination Of the radical clique
of this city, are anxious to know who Mr.
Miller, the republican candidate for coun-
ty treasurer, is. The effort that has been
made to induce them to believe he is q
black man has signally failed.
Jacob Yost ESQ, who was in town
last week, endeavored to attract attention
by otfciously dipping his oar into the
stream of our local politics-which is a
metaphor hard to beat; but he was unsuc-
cessful. His ugliness attracted more at
tention than an honest radical ofIice-holder
would or fve-legged COW.
The republicans of the city have en-
tered into compact with Mr.. Miller, their
candidate for county t-easu 'er, to "pui
him in season and out of season. He is, as
the -four quoters have it, "white wheat
family" or, as the wheat quoters say,
''choice AMBER" or, in the language Of thu
corn man, "white, in sacks, delivered =
or, to use a hay phrase, "choice timothy,
delvered;" or, as the butter dealer would
express it, extra gilt-edged." They never
quote him slow SUPER" "super," "white
mixed on p. t." "red top" or "ordin.
ary.' Well, Miller is a good maa, but has
fallen into evil company, and, like Dog
Tray, must take tho consequences.
