WILL NOT RESIGN.

1t is stated on good authority that Pacheco
will not resign his Senatorship until the day
of his being sworn IN as Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor. Good faith to the people Of Santa
Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties re-
quired that he should have resigned his
position as Senator az soon as nominated
for Lieutenant-G G Governor, and allowed his
successor to be elected at the September
election, and thus saved the people Of those
counties some 81 600, the expenses Of a
special election; but his intense desire for
office, we suppose, prevented him from doing
this justly demanded act. The hope Of aid
ing the II. K. and Gorham plundercrs to
organize the Senate by the election Of their
tools as officers, and adopting rules that will
give himself the power to pack the standing
committees in the interests Of the same
greedy parties, has, we suppose, again in
duced him to hold on, and rob the people of
these two counties Of voice in the Senate
during the best portion of the session. Pa
chcco is incapable himself, we believe, Of
these schelning tricks, and hence we must
conclude that he is controlled by ADLER and
less scrupulous persona. Such things are
disgustingly small in the second highest
officer in great State like California. We
occupied the same position in 1857 that
Pacheco did this year ia holdovcr Senator
and the nominee for Lieut.. Governor), and
We resigned the Senatorship as soon as VIC
received the nomination for the higher office,
and allowed our SUCCESSOR to be elected at
the general election, without additional ex-
pense to the people of this county; and we
should have despised ourself ever afterwards
had we not have done 80. We believe
Pacheco is being used in this matter by
schemers, who mean no good to the State or
to him. Let the Union proprietors, who
have talked with Pacheco, turn this thing
carefully in their minds, and again invite
him to visit their Office.

lynTUER LIBEL SUH'

The suit brought by Sinton against 'Ne
Chronicle of San Francisco, says the o"''"
,,,o Beco,d has terminated i'll the ac-
u,;.t., Of the defendants. The ground OF
action was the criticism of Snton III Ills pup
lie character as School Director, the paper
having charged him with unbecom'ng col"
a,o, in the Board rooms. Justification was
set up, and evidence introduced to show 'hal
Sinton frequently bulied the Board as
CHARGED. The jury were in consultation ou, +
few minutes and returned a verdict OF
g not puilty." Thus has the right OF the
press to criticise public officials in the inter-
ests Of the people beer! once more vlndlca'eu,
while the endeavor to gag the same grca'

conduct in public servants, and that 'hese

posing their misdeeds and calling them to
account therefor.
The San Joaquin Republican says the re-
suit of this suit is worthy of study by those
gentlemen who feel aggrieved at the treat
ment they have received from certain news
papers. They should find out whether then
public or private character is assailed before
appealing to the law. The law Of libel
draws wide distinction between the charges

and Jones, citizen, stole chickens. If the

OK TIE HuNr. Republican sheets are on
the hunt for recruits from Democratic hold
over Senators. They say Beige of San
Francisco can be had. Beige is the man
these Republican prints accused of robbine
San Francisco by duplicating hip bills for
stationery. At that time they abused him
like pickpocket, and if he should now 60
over to them we should have no doubt but
that he wa, the dirty, swindling fellow they
charged him with being. Others say that it
is not Beige, but McClay Of Santa Clara;
and If they get him, VIC have parting word
for his ear that will keep it warm through
the winter. We have no desire that the
Senate should be Democratic, but prefer that
the mongrels should have full sweep and no
excuses for their foul deeds.

WONDERFUL FEATS OF LYING.

The wonderful end prodisious feats of ly-
ing performed by the mongre press during
the Gubernatorial campaign we had hoped
would satisfy the Gulliver cravings Of these
SANDER monger editors. They have found
that some people believe lies, if they should
be damned for it, and they have taken their
wind and started on another stretch Of lying.
These fellows either believe there is no hell
or have concluded they might as well 60
there for an old shcep as lamb. We think
it probably true that the lies they made and
published on Gov. Haight will land them in
the bottomless pit. anyhow; but we caution
them that there may be degrees Of punish
,ncnt in the dominions of Bclzebub. If lying
10 merit in Republican editors, then the
gutter snipe Of the Oakland Nescs should
takc the premium. lie it is that has more
brains than all Of them put together, i'll this
limo of business. lie inycnts them, and the
Chronicle, Record, Union, and all the
lesser and feebler sheets retail them. The
lying talent and instincts of tho Republican
editors are all now employed against Fi'z-
gerald, and tie readers are getting very sick
Of these glaring falsehoods, and many Of
them threaten to vote for him on genera!
principles, believing that he must bo a good
man, or he would not elicit the abuse he
does from these lying whelps. If the people
wero TO elect Fitzgerald, it would probably
lead to a moral reform Of these liars, as un-
questionably as soon as they see that lying
fails, they will quit it.
