LOOK OUT FOR sToRMs.

Boruck, Of the Spirit Of the Times, from
some cause, has got mad at thoee, who,
heretofore, it has apparently been bis great
est deligh, to praise. We do not know the
reason. They may have pulled the teat
away from him, or struck his name from
some lucrative pay roll. we don't know
which, but we know he is mad. And in
his anger. has gone to telling what be
knows about some of those who have been
in the same boat with him. Two weeks
ago he opened his battery on the mint, in a
manner which was as astonishing to the
credulous Republican, as it was refreshing
to himself. Now he is pitching into the
monopoly press. No man has been deeper
in monopoly filth than Boruck, and no man
can tell what lies ct the bottom better than
he. They will doubtless put stop to his
rawlings soon, otherwise We may look for
terrible storms in the enemy's camp. In
speaking Of the Oakland Transcript he
says, "the editor Of that paper is bound in
shackles, and must respond when the lash
resounds in his ears" We knew this all
the time Of the Transcript, and we know
other papers, one not more than thousand
miles from here, in the same fix; but it re-
quires the evidence Of one Of their own
number to convince everybody. Boruck
has been true Republican, Of the pure
monopoly stripe, and we have thought his
turned, but in that we were mistaken, for
be now denounces the Republican party as
a party Of few men, to whom the Ameri-
can people are, and will be compelled to pay
toll as long as they are allowed to remain in
power. Choke him off,

THOSE TICKETS.

We printed the tickets voted by the Ii
cense party, at the Local Option election,
held in Township 8, Placer county, on the
9th Of August. There. Those tickets
were legal in every respect, except in the
matter of width. This triaing technicaity,
it was feared, would cause some trouble,
and, perhaps, invalidate all the License
votes. and cause them, after polling clean
majority of forty, to lose the election.
Many have denounced us severely, for
making the mistake, and some have even
gone 80 far as to hint that we were paid for
making the mistake; and others have helped
to spread the report that we printed both
lots Of tickets, and in printing the anti-Li-
cense tickets right, we must have known, Of
course, that the License tickets were wrong.
We hardly believe it necessary to reply to
such absurd rumors, as we know there j,
not man in the county, who knows us,
that will entertain any such ideas for a mo-
ment. But, we will say: As for being
paid, the PLACER HERALD was never yet,
through money, or any other outside infu-
ence, to our knowledge, induced to commit
a deed, or say word, contrary to what it
honestly believed to be light. and meuer
,ciu. SO long as this tar stands at the helm.
As for printing both tickets, we only wish
we had, for, most assuredIy, they would
then have been either all right, or all wrong.
Now, as to those who blame us for making
the mistake, through ignorance Of this little
senseless amendment to the Code, we have
only this to say: We frankly acknowledge
that we were ignorant, and all the excuse
we can offer for being ignorant, is the fact that
we happened to live in county where
everybody else was in the same fix. If this
little change in our laws (and it is only one
out Of thousands) had ever come to light,
we doubtless would have seen it, but, un-
fortunately, we do not believe there were,
previus to this election, two men in Placer
o"""'J' '""Joie NV oA|OP'o", "Ao WV
aware that any such change existed. Of
course, we acknowledge the editor of the
Arqls knew all about tat least it would
appear 80 from the immense amount OF
knowledge he possessed on the subject so
soon after. We are sorry that any should
condemn us until they understood all the
facts. None regret the troublesome error
more than we, and we only console oursef
with the reflection that, being human, we
are, like other human beings, liable to make
mistakes. Again, on turning to the pbiloso-
ply Of Josh Billings we find that "smart
men make blunders; fools repeat them"
We have not begun to repeat yet.

COME AT LAST.

The final report of the Beecher-Tilton In
vestigating Committee has at last been given
to the world, and, as was suspected by
many, from the appointment of said Com
mittee, Beecher is entirely cxoneratcd from
all the charges preferred against him. They
say, eve find nothing whatever in the
evidence that should impair the perfect con-
tidence Of Plymouth Church, Or the world.
in the Christian character and integrity Of
Henry Ward Beecher; and now let the
peace Of God that passeth all understanding
rest and abide with Plymouth Church, and
its beloved and eminent pastor, SO much and
so long afflicted" They say, further, that
Mrs. Tilton is gutless. But Tilton and
Moulton they deuominate conspirators, and
pronounce them guilty Of vile fraud. Thus,
then, for the present, the matter rests.

RE.NOMINATED.


The Republicans can't elect who shall be
King, to rule this nation for life. nor who
shall be Princes, Earls, Dukes and Lords,
to follow in his train, simply because the
people won't let them. But, from their &C.
tions, it would seem they, as party, are
bent on coming as near it as possible. 1t is
yet fresh in the memory Of the people Of
this county, how, one year ago, in the Re-
publican County Convention, one county Of
ficer after another was brought before the
Convention and re-nominated, without q
single miss, from one end Of the list to the
other, and with such apparent pre-concoction
that the few honest men in that body (igno-
rant Of the arrangement, because they were
honesty went home, sick with disgust. Pla-
Ger county is only very small corner in the
great field Of American politics, and our
excuse for reverting to this, is merely to
show that the continue-in-ofice plan per-
meates every nook and corner Of the great
Republic, where the Republicans have pow
er to elect. Whatever smacks Of despotism
seems sweet to Republicanism. and as the
best of men become dcspotic, by an undue
lease of power, this seems to be their plan Of
creating despots. From eastern dispatches,
we see they are carrying out the re-nomina-
ton programme to perfection, on the other
side Of the Rocky mountains. On the 25th
of August, in the Fourteenth Illinois Con-
gressional District, Jas. G. Cannon was re-
nominated for Congress, by acclamation;
in the Second Michigan District, II. Wal
dren was re-nominated for Congress, the
same day, by reclamation; in the Third
Michigan District, Geo. Willard was re-
nominated for Congress, the same day, for
the third term, by acclamation, we suppose;
in the Sixth Michigan District, the same
day, Josiah Begole was re-nominated for
Congress; in the Eighth Michigan District,
B. Bradley was re-nominated, on the same
day. for Congress, by reclamation. In the
Sixth Ohio District, William Lawrence
was re nominated, on the same day, for
Congress; in the Eighteenth Ohio District,
james Monroe was, on the same day, re-
nominated for Congress. by acclamation,
and so on. to the end Of the chapter.
There seems to be no end to this re-nomi-
nation mania among the Republicans, which
being interpreted, means there is to be no
end to corruption, thievery, nepotism. and
extravaganza, so long as the people will cast
sufficient votes for the men they nominate 10
keep them in Office. They fatty say, as
plain as actions can speak, by these re-
nominations, we are satisfied with the way
our government has been run for the past
thirteen years, and if our opponents are not,
let them help themselves. They impudently
hurl the gauntlet at the feet Of honest
men, and dare them to pick it up. Let
each man decide for himself what best be-
comes an honest American.

Funeral Of Capt. Atkinson.

Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the
Veterans of the Mexican War accom-
panied to the grave the remains of one
Of their comrades, who devoted the
best years of his life to the service of
his country. Captain Atkinson's life
was of such quiet and unobtrusive
character as to leave him with but
comparatively few acquaintance, but
those that knew him all agree in ex-
tolling his virtues. Through the eff
forts of Major c. n. Wilson his SER
vices were recognized by the Govern
ment by granting him pension, but
it only came in time to cheer the heart
Of the old man with the knowledge
that the sufferings and hardships of
his hard years Of service were appre-
ciated. The Sisters Asylum afforded
him a pleasant retreat during the REM
nant of his declining life, and there he
received the affectionate attention so
solacing to the aged and infirm. To
John d. Dunlap, Esq, Deputy United
States Marshal, much credit is due for
his kind attention, he having taken
entire charge of the funeral obsequies.
Gov. Downey, E. f. Hewitt, H. G.

known by our citizens, and all con-

themselves in manner to secure the
respect of the community. The tender
of a benefit to Mrs. Phelps was made
by many of the first citizens of the
