sCHURZ.

The statement has often been made by
those who knor,fh the man, that Carl Shurz
rs an ambitious, graspiug, intriguing, ego
tisticsl person, and withal revolutionists,
soldier of fortune, and consumate dema-
gogue. 1t is also openly stated by Ray
mond of the New York Times, that he
secured his election to the Senate by basely
and cruelty betraying Hon. John B. Hen.
derson, who trusted in his professions of
friendship. 1t is certainly known that his
hostility to Grant is based on the fact that
the. PRESIDENT granted the disposal of GER
tam Federal patronage, which Schurz
wanted to control, to Senator (now judge
Charles Drake and his friends. In his
blind rage against the President, he has
become reckless and desperate, seeking
madly in every direction for ouething to
crafty his malice aud malign the man to
whom he could not dictate But in his
last effort he has stumbled and fell very
low iu the estimation of intelligent Ameri
cans of all parties, who really knew before
that his cry of "reform" was not raised SO
much iu behalf of the public interest, as
to cloak his schemes to injure th Presi
dent.
Although the German Government has
never complained because certain citizens
of this country attended Government sales
and purchased surplus arms sold to the
highest bidder, and then smuggled them
out of the country and sold them to French
agents, without the kuowl d ofeur Govern
ment, yet conplai, has been made. and an
effort attempted to make out case where
by Germany may be encouraged to ask
indemnity from the United States By
whom has this complaint been made? Who
called on Germany to make demand upon
US for damages, and arraigned the Ameri-
can Government on the charge of having
violated the law of nations? Not Bisma, ok.
from whom the complaint would have come
long ago if his Government had considered
itself jusri6able in making it, but from
Carl Schurz. a Senator Of the United States!
Instead of standing up as true Senator,
sworn to protect our Constitution and
Government, he has done his utmost to
make it appear that our Government
knowingly and unlawfnlIy sold aru,s
direct to France, and that, in conse.
quence, Germany has rigltous claim
against us for damages, and that Grant is
to blame for the whole thing Although
the Committee appointed to Investigate as to
the justice or injustice of Schurz's state,
ments, have clearly established the fact
that our Government did moi sell gun to
France or to any known or then charged
with being an agent of France, yet the
Senator has placed himself on record in a
way that proves that his loyalty to this
country is very questionable. He stands
in the Senate as an attorney who has
striven to make out case against the
Government he has sworn TO uphold, and
in favor of the Empire OF Germany, and in
that attitude we leave him TO the judgment
of a patriotic people.

Nor FoUND.-Mr. p Hughes tells us
that the boat which the young man, Choate,
used has not been found, that he is aware
of. 1t seems that at the time Choate ven
tured out in the boat, all the other men
folks about the place were engaged some
distance from the ferry, and that when he
expressed desire to Mrs. Hughes to prac-
tice rowing the boat, she told him that she
feared he.was not able to manage the craft,

RESOLUTIONS OF THE SHASTA BAR,
Shasta, March 5th, 1872.

Shasta, March 5th, 1872.
AT a meeting of the members of the bar

We. therefore. the members of the bar Of

EsTIMATE.-.h he Trustees of this Dis
trict have made out the estimated cost of
building and furnishing good school
hou,e, aud they think $4,000 will be re-
auired. .Ifthe amount, or anything near it,
is ever raised, it will have to be done by a
school tax levied on all the property in the
District, and the majority OF our people
appear opposed TO such tax at present.

DIsGRAcEFUL On Monday night DIR
Jordan, an elderly gray haired mao, was
announced to lecture on phrenology at the
public School house, but the audience was
slim and some of the boys made them
selves hoarse by yelling outside, aud finally,
entered the building exringushed the lighls
leaving the Doctor in total darkness, aud
to grope his way down rickety fight of
stairs as best he could The next night
the Doctor obtained permission, and lee
tured in the Union Church, thinking that
he would enjoy peace and protection within
its sacred precincts. Mistaken idea! As
soon as the elder portion of the audience
had dispersed, crowd of about twenty
youngsters proceeded to raise particular
thunder, by calling the old gentleman
opprobrious names, cursirg singing dog
gerel. stamping. pounding on the floor, etc.
Such conduct is dlsgraceful to the town,
and should be guarded against in the future
Shasta once had the reputation of bein,
an orderly town, but of late it has retro.

style, go to Wilhelm's Gallery. Shasta,

is prepared to serve you. His pictures
cannot be excelled in this portion of the
State, if in San Francisco. Give him a

LAYS OVER Us.-A week or two ago
we mentioned that the Sacramento Record
and Trinity Journal were going for the
scalp of Assemblyman Tinnn on account
of bis speech in opposition to the $4,000
appropriation of pay the expense of the
japanese bloS out, and also expressed the
opinion that Mr. Tinnin's course On the
bill met the approval OF the mass of Re
publicans in the mining counties. Upon
this, the Trinity Journal of the 9th refers
back nine years to the time when we pub
lshed the Trinity National, and draws the
inference that the smell of democracy
clings to us still. If opposing appropria-
tions of the pee pies money to pay for
Japanese feasts is evidence of Democracy
in our composition, then so be it. But in
order to discover Democratic tendencies in
the Journal We are not compelled to go
back nine years. 1t has better and
later record on that subject than the CoU-
RIER. For about year past, it has foated.
as its choice for President. the name of Will
lam b. Seward, late Secretary of State
under Democratic Andy johnson, and his
guardian in the somewhat celebrated
"swing around the circ.e." And, within
the last few mouths or so, it has champi
oned the claim of John jackson, who is
seeking to put his hands into the State
Treasury and haul out $4,000 as reward
for opposing and defyiDg national law en-
acted by a Republican Congress. Itstrikes
us that the above acts on the part OF the
Journal diffuse slight Democratic oder,
and rather excels IN steDgth any perfume
we have emitted in that Inc for long time
