Recommendations for Office.


I'VE heard of a case once where a
gentleman urged the appointment of
an acquaintance to q subordinate pc
sition in a particular department. 1t
happened that before the appointment
was made, the gentlemen himself was
called to the head of that Department.
He did not appoint under him the
person he had before recommended
When asked why he did not, he said
shat it was another matter now, the re-
sponsibility of properly filing the of
flee rested upon HIM, and he could not
conscientiously make that appoint
ment.
People and newspapers are apt to be
free to make suggestions of candidates
for positions to be filled by the Chief
:, Executive, and they do it with very
little sense. of esponsibillty. A gen
2 tleman once said to Gen. Grant, Mr.

of diplomatic relations with -
would you take the responsibility 0

man was compelled to own that h

- Who ever thought that claims
would be presented against the United
States Government for the rcstora-
ton of personal property destroyed
uy the United States, hypothecated on
the late Confederate States Govern
ment, so called! The supposition of
such thing strikes one as the height
of impudence yet the American
and British Commission has been
called upon to decide claim of this
character, in the case of Edward AL
fred Barrett against the United States.
The agent and counsel for the United
States, in his argument on the motion
to dismiss the case, maintained that 1t
was ''really nothing more nor less
than a claim to hold the United States
liable for the debts of those lately in
rebellion against them, contracted in
the very course of such rebellion in
aid of it, and from which it drew its
chief support. The language of the
treaty itself is believed to be abund-
antly specific in excluding claims OF
the character in question; besides, the
Constitution of the United States con
tains an express prohibition of the as
sum tJttOA vi pay IhOAs VI SAGSC NOoLS
by the United States, or by any State. .
On the strength of this ground, the
, Commission, on Friday last, decided
that the sUnited States Government
is not liable for the payment of debts
contracted by the rebel authorities
Persons contracting with the so-calle6
Confederate States voluntarily as
sumed the risk of such failure, and ac
cepted its obligations subject to thu
paramount rights of the parent State
by force, to crush the rebel organiza
ton, and seize all it's assets and prop
erty, whether hypothecated by it o
not to its creditors"
Perhaps it is just as we'll that tni
decision has been rendered, TO crus
those who may have built high e1
pectations of protiting handsomcl
from such deal, but the assumptio
itself that the North is legally oblige
to make good any losses it inflicte
onindiyiduals connected with the II
bellion is too ridiculous for serior
argument. o. s. Journal.

SENATORIAL AsPIRANrs.

According to the Humboldt Reg
lister the following named gentlemen
are Republican candidates for the
I. S. Senate, to succeed Gov. Nyes
Nye, belong, Sharon, Biasdel, Bat
terman and Jones. 1t is of the opin-
ion that -'Nye, of course, will be in
the field, and make a desperate effort
to be his own SUCCESSOR; that De
Long is so busy making treaties that
1.-THE chances are very predetermined
about his being a candidate =; that
Sharon is considered the leader of
the Bank ring, and is therefore I'M
popular with the working classes y;
that ''Blasdel might win in a Meth
odist conference, but will surely
prove Intellectual in a political con
test -; that Batterman is consid-
cred the pet of the Bank and will
carry the odium of the ring; that
John 2. Jones is the man whose
chances of success appear fully
equal, if not superior, to any of the
gentlemen named" Jones strong
points are set forth in glowing c%olors,
while the tender spots of his Senate
rial rivals are slyly indicated, and
just sufficiently touched to faint the
impressions of the public. These
quiet stabs at some of the prominent
Republican chiefs show which way
the political wind is blowing out on
the Humboldt. Isn't it a little early
in the day to inaugurate publically
this Senatorial war? Or has the
bitterness already reached that point
that silence has become impossible 4?
We would kindly advise our Repub-
lican aspirants and their friends to
keep cool and not allow their peril
Gus passions to carry them away vet.
There is just enough of them to play
their little game of sell-out without
much danger of any one of them
getting stuck" Don't quarrel
over the cherries until they I ripe,
If this backbiting cannot be stopped
any other way the Democracy may
find it convenient to add another
name to that list. Do the fair thing
by each otheror a Democratic Legis-
lature may do it.

The Door County Advocate contains

After the fire fOrtv-tiVe bodies were
found in a potato patch. in the center
of the clearing. Other bodies were
found. some in wallSand some scatter

THE DEMONSTRATIONS has gone
Republican again. The vote was very
light, the Democrats generally caring
very little for the result, many alb
staining from the polls altogether.
The vote in San Francisco fell nearly
10000 short of that polled in Septem-
Der, and in the interior the proportion
was about the same. As the Repub-
iicans carried all the offices of much
value in September, the Democracy
generally concluded to give them the
balance.
