The FIRST GUN From the Yre eka
Union of last week, we learn that j. X.
Luttrell was to open his canvass for Con-
gress at Happy Camp, Del Norte county,
on Saturday last, September 7th. In
accordance with his former habits we
suppose Jay Kay carries the usual num-
Der Of Sacramento Untons in the tail of
his coat, from which to take his text.
Seven copies, badly worn, was tho num-
Der, we believe, which he found necessary
to display to his audiences during can
vass made in this county three years ago.
What Luttrell will find to talk about now
is riddle which we cannot solve. His
slang phrases and vile epithets have in
his previous campaigns been directed
about as follows: First, at the Sacramento
Unionj second, at the "stnking, fiat
nosed niger 5" third, the Sacramento
Union fourth, the "opium- eating, moon
eyed Chinese" and fifth, the Sacramento
Union. The Niger and Chinaman be-
ing out in the cold during this canvass
and the Union having thrown itself mad
ly into Jay Kay's arms, he will certainly
be at loss for something to "cuss."
But then Stanford is broad -shouldered
and will stand good deal, even if Lut-
trell has voted for as many subsidy bills
as he ever voted against.

REPUBLICS may be ungrateful, but we
are now certain that Dolly Warden Con-
ventions are not. The anythng-to bust
the-Central-Pacific Railroad Company
Convention met in Sacramento last week
and in view of the kind assistance and
cordial cooperation proffered by the I'm
ion provided the Convention would al
low the proprietors of that journal to
name the candidate) Paschal Coggins,
one of the editorial staff of the Sacramen-
to Union, was nominated, and the Re
cord says that the owners of that paper
are to furnish him with the necessary
funds with which to make the canvass.

We inadvertently neglected to mem
ton, last week, that the mongrels Of this
Congressional District had nominated j.
X. Luttrell, of Siskiyou county, as the
bloody-chasm candidate for Congress.
Our only apology for the omission is the
fact that it is of so little signifinance in
its effect upon the campaign that it en-
tirely escaped our memory. Mr.. Luttrell
is very pleasant gentleman who achieved
a notoriety, in the last Legislature, as
garrulous opponent of everything not
originating with himself or some of his
political friends, and is more noted for
the quantity than the quality Of his ora
torical efforts-tor verbosity in utterance
than profundity of thought; and although
he is put forward as the especial enemy
of railroad monopolies and the opponent
of subsidies, his record on that subject is
neither clear nor consistent. 1t is said
that, in the Legislature of 1866, he
voted for the bill the lobbying of which
proved so disastrous to George G. Cor
ham in 1867, and voted also to sustain
the Governors veto thereof. In the last
Legislature he distinguished himself by
talkative opposition to subsidies of all
kinds, and at the same time introduced,
advocated and secured the passage of a
bill giving the Central Pacific the right
to build bridge across the Sacramento
river, at Tehama, without draw. We
have no fears of his beating Coghlan
with all the help the Sacramento Union
can give him.-,Sotano Republican.

Too BAD.-Greeley's canvass in Maine
must have had terrible effect upon the
election held there on Manday last, as
witness the following dispatch sent by
Speaker Blaine to President Grant under
date of Sept. 10th: "We have carried
the State for Governor Perham by more
than $4,000 majority-a net gain of 5000
over last years vote. We have carried
all Congressional Districts-the closest
by 1000 majority. We have carried ev-
cry county in the State-something never
achieved but once before. We have
elected every Senator, and chosen more
than four-fifths of the House of Repre-.
sentatives. Onr victory is complete and
overwhelming at all points and insures
you more than $4,000 majority in No
vember.

EARTHQUAKE shocks were distinctly felt

GREELEY BEFORE THE BARGAIN.
" l saw the other day suggestion that
] would probably be the best Democratic
candidate to run against General Grant
for President. | thought that about the
most absurd thing ever heard or read.
If the Democratic party were called upon
to decide between Grant and myself,
lnpw that their regard for what they
must call principle would induce nine
tenths Of them to vote against me. Why?
l am a decided enemy Of that party,
even in its most respectable aspects"

never was its follower, and lived and
died in nothing its debtor. - Horace

SIGNIFICANT.-It is a remarkable fact,
full returns from Vermont indicate the
existence of negative instead Of pos
tive coalition influence. When the Dem
ocrats were working by themselves in
that State, they succeeded in obtaining
two State Senators and twenty-nine As
semblymen, but they have been so weak
ened by their fusion with the Liberals
that they could elect no single Senator
in the late election, and only twenty one
MEMBERS of the House.

the people of this District may fairly

that Luttrell and Coghlan will canvass
this District together. If Coghlan don't
beat his opponent out Of sight, we will
give it up.-TRINITY Journal.
That's what we say, so we may all hear
both sides, and Judge who tells the truth,
and will prove the best man to suit. We
doubt, if Luttrell will do it, as he refused
a challenge n year ago to stump with
Calvin Edgerton in this county. If he
does, Coghlan will use him up so badly,
with good sensible argument, that the
Sacramento Union will beg Luttrell to
go home and keep his mouth shut Yrc-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER,
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 1872.
DECLINE IN GREELEY STOCK.

DECLINE IN GREELEY STOCK.
There is a manifest falling off in the
prospects of the coalition party. Now
that the lines are drawn and the Repub-
lican proselites, who are generally fence
men who go to the strong side, have
halted in the boiling movement, and be-
gun to come around to their old first
love there are scarcely handful of Re-
publicans in the Greeley camp that are
not manifest soreheads. The New York
Herald is strongly tn the interest of
Greeley, and its corps Of Democratic
correspondents uniformly t0rite up the
friends of Greeley and writc dorm the
friends of Grant, and yet the editor ad-
mits that there is really nothing against
Grant, and he is almost sure to win in
the contest. 1t also gives as the reason
why the blow and Juror that inaugurated
the the Baltimore nominees has quieted
down into absolute indifference, that the
business interests of the country have
considered the proposed change, and de-
cided that it cannot be afforded in the
present time of business prosperity. The
gold market which is the most sensitive
index of the cautiousness and fear Of a
change which row animates business
centers, has continued to vary with the
popular pulse regarding the possibility OF
Greeley's election. Shortly after the Bal
timore Convention gold ran up to 1l6
and yesterday it was down to liz. 9th
er influences may last few hours, but
the fear of Greeley's election is perma-
nent dread and hangs like an incubus
over the operations OF moneyed men.
EXCITING CRIME.
The last sensation here is the murder
of Mrs. Wheat in our neighboring city of
Baltimore. Her nephew, young man
of the name of Jesse Uppercue, who had
ingratiated himself in her good graces
and already secured most of her property
in his own right, is in prison charged
with the murder. He gave the alarm
and asserted that the house was infested
by robbers who had shot his aunt, and
that he had followed the robbers and
fired his pistol down the stairway. His
pistol was four-barrel revolver, and
was loaded when found after the firing,
excepting one barrel, with cartridges
which resemble in size that with which
the woman's life was taken. Search
was made through the house, and no
mark Of a pistol ball could be discovered.
1t seems that the deceased was weak in
body and mind and had been left from
$4,000 to 100000 and that there were
rival interests in the family as to the Sc
curing Of the money at her death, but
that young Uppercue being an attorney,
had managed to secure most of the prop.
erty and money to antagonize her other
near relatives. The case is involved in
mystery and is enhanced in interest by
the fact that within ten days the alleged
murderer was to have been married to a
Baltimore lady of high respectability.
