On Sunday night last We had another
successful iail delivery. The parish is doing
as well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances. The parties escaping were two
of sundry and divers Rileys, convicted be-
fore Judge Bussey of hog stealing, and
sentenced to the Penitentiary. But strong
in the persuasion of their guiltlessness, they
appealed, carrying their cause before a
higher and less prejudiced tribunal. In the
meantime, pending the full assertion of
their innocence, they pinned for liberty-for
locked up in strong iron cages, in the centre
of the ground floor, by some hocus pocus,
unlocked the doors, pried out the iron bars
and made good their escape. One OF the
trio was left to pine in loneliness the flight
of his companions-their combined skill
failing to open his cell door.
In all seriousness, MOrehouse had just as
well have no Jail at all. Prisoners make
their escape almost at will. The parish is
put to a heavy expense IN trying precious
thieves and ~rascals. They are justly con-

Whereas Lovelace McClanahan of Horse

cribed under the presumption laws of the US.
and whereas on the oath day of January A. D.

Land Office at Marysville an affidavit alleging
the said land to be mineral in character and
more valuable for mineral than agricultural
purposes, Now Therefore notice is hereby given
to all whom it may concern that the under
signed have appointed the 25th day of July

Land office in the town and county of Shasta,

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

The conviction of Dougherty, who MUIR
dered Miss Dennison, at Wheatland, and
the summary vengeance which followed the
fendish crime of Austrian George"
murderer of Miss Mcdaniel, of Cherokee
Flat, are circumstances we'll calculated to
meet the approval of the people OF this
State. If there is any right which should
be held sacred to woman, it is the right to
choose freely among men in the selection
of husband. If woman must be infu.
enced in chat choice BY the dread of assas-
sination, her dearest right becomes of no
value to her. We trust that in the case
of Dougherty, the law will be enforced in
its utmost rigor

THE UNION REPUBLICAN COUNTY
TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the Union
Convention last week seems to meet the
appreciation of Republicans universally, and
independent voters generally, and with
proper industry and care on the part of the
nominees, all will be well in September
The tide ofpublic opinion is setting strong.
ly in favor of the Republican party this
year, and experienced California politician,
instinetively feel that the next turn of the
wheel viii bring defeat to the Democracy
Our nominee for the Assembly, County
Judge, Sheriff, and Treasurer, are well
known to the majority of the people Of the
County and need no special introduction.
The best recommendation they can have, is
the fact that they have been tried in off,
cial position in the past, and proved them
selves honest, competent, and accommoda-
tingservants of the people, and consequently
they can be safely trusted in the future
The nominee for Clerk, District Attorney,
Assessor, and Administrator, are untried
in official experience, but their qualifca
tions for the respective positions for which
they were nominated is conceded by all
who know them, and there is no doubt
but that they will acquit themselves to the
satisfaction Of the people in the event Of
their election. DR.. Guptill, of Millv,lle,
is particularly fitted for the correct dis
charge of the duties of Clerk, and is man
Of unblelnlished character, possessing the
confidence and esteem of all who know him
intimately. Bracket, candidate for Dis
trict Attorney has been a resident of this
county three years, is wellread lawyer,
and the interests of the county, will not
suffer if con6ded to his guardianship. The
candidate for Assessor, James Leary. of
Spring Greek, is native of Lynn, Mass,
resident of this county for years, and from
his known intelligence and good sense we
are confident that if elected, he will make
first rate officer, and one that will give
general satisfaction to the tax payers of the
county. Wilhelm, for Administrator is a
native of Germany, an old resident, and
fully competent to discharge the duties
of the position to which he aspirce.
The conduct of the unsuccessful candi-
dates for nominations, is worthy of special
praise, and entities them to the favorable
remembrance of the members OF the party.
Their prompt acquiescence in the verdict
of the Convention, and the cheerful sup
port they are yielding to the ticket, shows
them to be men Of honor and fully capa-
BILE of rising above self-interest when the
good of the party is concerned. Their
course is wise; the defeated of to day may
be the victors tomorrow
