A GENUINE SENsATIoN.--Hamilt
and Pendegast not being here according
to appointment, ex-Rev. Colonel Will
liam Rackerby was here last Saturday
according to no appointment. A meet
ing was held that evening at Thomas
Theater. The meeting was called to or
der by Hon. w. j. Tinnin, who stated
that the proceedings were under the au-
spices of the Liberal Republican and
Democratic committees. This was sur
prise number one, as Rackerby told us
that afternoon that there was no Liberal
Republican committee in the county. Mr..
Charles Thomas was chosen Chairman,
but not being in the room, the Chairman
of the Democratic committee disappeared
in the labyrinth connected with the Thea
ter but presently emerged with Mr..
Thomas who, with some apparent reluct-
ance, proceeded to preside and Rackerby
took the stand. 1t was something to see
Rackerby and more to hear him, espe-
cially as he directed fully one-half of his
remarks at us. He was not at all harsh
and let us down easy, and as one good
turn deserves another we propose to do
the same. Were we disposed to criticse,
we might say that while in his exordium
he proposed to discuss the great questions
of "Amnasty" and Rickonciliation," +"
he did not afterwards allude to those alb
sorbng subjects. In the main his effort
consisted Of about enough vile abuse of
Grant to make it palatable TO the any
thing to beat GRANTEES, with stories about
niggers and dogs that pleased the little
boys certainly. Having armed and equip
ed himself for the campaign, Mr.. Rack
erby undertook to quote two lines from
from Shakespeare, but failed to give them
correctly and turned passage from Pat
rick Henry's celebrated speech into ridi-
cule When he pompously exclaimed
With the glorious Patrick Henry |
prefer liberty to death, J." we thought to
ourselves, Mr.. Rackerby, what Il pity
you didn't have some ten n-year-old school
boy near at hand to prompt you about
that time" We do not wish to do in
justice, but from what we heard on the
streets afterwards, we believe that as a
Democratic meeting it was considered a
success, but that the d" Liberals had
very little stock in it. Be that as it may,
Rackerby is the embodiment, the head
and front of Liberalism in this State,
came and went without the firing of can
non or an organized procession in his
honor. Verify, "no man is prophet in
his own country"

LUTTRELL's "FEARFUL EXAMPLE"
A remarkably good thing, and one which
will give every thinking citizen an in
sight into the governing motives of j. X .
Luttrell's manner Of conducting a politi-
ical campaign, has lately come to our
ears and is vouched for by one of the
most respectable and truthful citizens of
the locality where the incident occurred:
Three years ago as our people remember,
Mr.. Luttrell canvassed this county. not
because there were any great political
questions to be decided that year, for we
had only county election, but because
there was an opportunity for Luttrell to
work upon the prejudices of certain
class OF citizens and thereby make capi-
tai for Luttrell, to be used on some fu-
ture occasion. The Fifteenth Amend
ment was one of the great evils of which
Lnttrell never tired in setting forth and
picturing in the blacklist colors, and his
imagination was taxed to its utmost ca
paclty for some new phase of horror in
which to clothe this great bug bear. Ev-
cry one has heard of the Temperance
Lecturer who Travelled about the country
advocating total abstinence and in order
to more fully portray the sad effects of
intemperance took with him an cold sot',
whom he paid to attend his lectures and
whom he presented to his audiences as a
" fearful example," Certainly this was
a novel feature in temperance lecturing,
but it remained for the great l, j. X L.,
to introduce its parallel into politics. At
Lewiston, in this county, the night that
Mr. Luttrell spoke there, Chinaman of
the lowest order and most vile and filthy
appearance was sent for and given front
seat, and as the incident was related to us
the ridicuosity of the situation can be
better imagined than described. Lut-
trell, with copy of the Sacramento Un-
ION in his left hand, would point with the
index finger of his right, first to Il few
lines in the Uui0n-which, by the way,
he had previously misread-and then to
the fearful example" which had been
hired to be present. We say hired, be-
cause the poor heather Chinee had been
lured into the presence of the great orator
by the promise of one dollar, but we learn
that the deluded Celestial never received
the amount, but in lieu thereof he is to
this day known to the people of Lewis
pretty rough on the Chnaman. How
ever, should Jay Kay be elected to Con-
gress he will in all probability take his
" fearful example" " with him to Wash
ington and thereby partially atone for
the ignomy cast upon him here.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1872-10-26

BIRDS oE FEATHER.--When he
was here Rackerby did not try very hard
to elect " Horrus Greeley" but put in his
biggest licks and biggest lies in behalf
of skulking-anything-for office Luttrell.
We can readily understand how fellow
feeling should "make them wondrous
kind" Our sentiments toward the pair
are best expressed by little story. Once
upon time there was a man who was
noted in his neighborhood as being the
most fluent blasphemer in all the country
around. One day he was going to mar
ket with load of potatoes, and on the
road was quite long hill. Some mis-
chievous boys, knowing his hasty temper
and peculiar talent at swearing, thought
to practice upon both. So when he started
up the hill they lifted out the endboard
and the potatoes being loaded in loose
rolled out all the way up. The boys, an
ticipating great fun, were at the top when
he stopped and looked around to see if all
was right. He comprehended the stu
alton at glance. Along the tedious as
cent the road was lined with potatoes,
but not one in his wagon. Once, twice
he opened his mouth, but with no sound
Of speech. At last he stammered out {:
" Boys, it's no use, l can't do the subject
justice" Rackerby and Luttrell, Lut-
trell and Rackerby. Well we haven't
said word, have we?

GREAT REGIsTER.-The edition of the
Great Register Of Trinity county has been
completed and delivered to the County
Clerk. 1t contains 904 names, and al
though there are some which will be can
celed before election day, and others who
are absent from the county, it is thought
that the new registrations will be about
equal and that about the total vote of the
county will not fall far short of 900. AS
the law provides for the printing of a
number of extra copies of the Great Reg
lister, qualified electors applying at the
Clerks Office will be supplied with the
same until the edition is exhausted.

Old Things Have Passed Away.

This is at least true of the old method
of treating the long abused and much
abused human body. 1t is no longer
considered wise to put patient to the
torture in order to cure him of disease
in which pain is already undermining
the energies of his system. True science
ranges itself on the side of nature, and
tries TO assist her In her fight against dis
ease. This is the province of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the most approved tonic
ever ADVERTISED in this country. 1t may
be recommended as fall medicine, par
excellence; for it is in the fall that bill
iousness, dyspepsia and malarious fevers
are especially prevalent. The frame, ex-
hausted by the heats of Summer, is re-
laxed and feeble at its close, and requires,
we may say demands, artificial assistance.
Afford it that assistance in occasional
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bjtters, and
the evils referred to may be escaped,
Throughout the far West, and or the
steaming alluvial of the Southern rivers,
all the varieties OF periodical feyers are
probably rife to-day. Had course of
Hostetter's Bitters been commenced by
the sufferers a month ago, 4. c., before
the unhealthy season set in, seven -eighths
Of them would in all probability be in
their usual health at the present time.
So much for want of forecaste. So much
for not keeping in the house, and using
daily the best safeguard against epidemic
and endemic fevers.
AS focks of impostors and imitators are
trying to follow in the wake of the great
American remedy, therefore be sure that
the article you buy is genuine and verified
by the proper trademarks. The true
article, can only be obtained in bottles.
Beware Of the spurious bitters sold by the
gallon or in keg. lO-oct.

VAN DUZER AND FoULKE.-Our citi-

A PIONEER GoNE.-Mr. Louis Lud-
wig, who died at this place last Tuesday
night, was one of the pionsers of this
county. He came overland to California
in 40 in company with M. F. Griffin,
Ned Fogarty, Henry Conroy and Cal
houn Benham. While the others stopped
at Sacramento. Ludwig pushed on to this
county and arrived at Lewiston in August
of that year. For some years he was one
OF the foremost men in this community
but his latter years were not smiled upon
by fortune. Peace to his ashes,

THE COUNTY BOUNDARY SURVEY
From the Vest Coast SignaI Of October
10th we extract the following item, OF
general interest to the people of this coun-
ty: Capt. W. Ii. Fauntleroy has com
pleted the survey of the boundary line
between Humboldt, Klamath, Trinity
and Mendocino. From him we have
gathered the followin information The
north line between Humboldt and Kam-
ath, about 25X miles, strikes Trinity
river miles north of China Flat, and
5 miles from Campbell's place. The
line from Grouse Creek south to latitude
40 deg, is about 48% miles. The coun-
try is rugged, and contains. no timber of
especial value for marketable purposes.
the line neared Eel River. The line be
tween Humboldt and Mendocino, about
26% miles, is over rugged county, with
very little grass except near the South
Fork of Eel River and the sea coast.
Timber of no especial value for shipment
except a species of oak afording the best
article of tan bark. OF this there is a
large supply on the South Fork, and ex-
tending west nearly to the ocean. The
line between Trinity and Mendocino is
about ~ miles, 1t passes through much
good grazing land for sheep until the
Coast Range is reached-say 10 miles,
after which, Capt. Fauntleroy tells us
an excellent opportunity is afforded liz
ards to crawl and salmon to jump. BY
this survey Trinity county gains about 6
miles of territory heretofore supposed tc
belong to Humboldt. The land is of lit
tie value except in minerals. The Cap
tain found some fine specimens of iron
and cinnabar in both Trinity an Mendo'
cino.

home. We guess he will hereafter

DIDN'T CoME.-Our people were some
what disappointed at the appearance
of Hon. w. w. Pendegast and Hon. 10
Hamilton, who had previously been an
nounced to speak here on Saturday eve
ming. We learn that both gentlemen
were detained with legal business which
could not be postponed, although the
Red Bluff Sentinel attributes their failure
to speak at that place to the big race "
pending at Sacramento at the time. Some
Of our Republican friends incline to the
belief that the result of the late Eastern
elections had something to do with theil
not coming, but we are assured that bust
ness was the only reason.

RETUNED.-Mr. NJ. Karsky, after an
absence of six weeks, came back last Fri
day. While in San Francisco he pur.
chased large stocks of merchandise for

THE WILTON TROUPE From the
Signal of last week we learn that this
company was still playing in Humboldt
county to large and delighted audiences.
They intended to go from Eureka to Cres-

overland. If this programme is carried
out our people will probably have another
opportunity of witnessing the perform
ances of the Wilton Troupe within the
next few weeks.

PLENTY OF GAME.-Sheriff Flowers
informs us that game is more plenty on
Canon Greek this season than for many
years past. Bears in particular are nu-
merous andboth bear and deer are very
fat, owing to the fact that the acorn crop
is much larger this Fall than usual. One
last week party of hunters from Canon
City, after hittinga grizzly fourteen times,
succeeded in killing him and returned
home with about 800 pounds of bear meat.
The hunters say that the bears skull was
SO hard that bullets from a Spencer rife
flattened on it without making any i'm

and bears the following inscription
Chicago Court House Bell (; Theodore
Tuley from M. f. IT,, A. d. 1871" The
donor writes that fortunes have been
made by impostors making articles of va
rious kinds from other metal and passing
them off for having been made from the
famous Court House bell, but that the
cane-head is the genuine article.

VINO RAcKERBY Is.-Rackerby began
his speech the other night by saying :
" Who is Rackerby? This question has
beeh asked by all the papers in the State
and let them answer" 1t was cruel in
him, we thought, to excite curiosity in
that way and then not crafty it. As
some of our readers would like to know,
we will tell who he is. Ex-Rev. Col.-
VIM. M. Rackerby is the man who went
before the Sutter County Democratic
I Convention last year as candidate for
the Assembly and was defeated. To
heal his injured sensibilities he voted a
Republican ticket that election and on
the strength of that is now better Lib
eral Republican than anybody. Wher-
ever you scratch Republican of his
stripe you find Democrat.
