BIDWELL.

Shoemaker, Of the Grass Valley
Union, is a I" sarcastic cuss on pretty
much all occasions. Following is the
ironical manner in which he sends of
Bidwell in search of the Independent
nomination for Governor There is
some talk that the Independents will
let Swift and Estee alone, and will
nominate Bidwell for Governor. Gen.
eral Bidwell is an Independent and is
a terrible anti-monopolist. He thinks
that any man who owns more than
twenty or thirty thousand acres of land
is a monopolist, and should not be
countenanced to any great extent. He
Is a very independent man, for he will
eat parched peanuts from a paper
bag and never offer his hungry neigh
Dor a single peanut. Then. again, Gen.
Bidwell came to this country along
time ago and he has seen very many
deep SHOWS even in the Sacramento
Valley. His qualifications for the place
are, therefore, very superb.

A NEW PAPER FOR SAN FRAN
CISCO.

Michael Hayes is arranging to pub
lish q new paper in San Francisco.
Such an enterprise as he maps out
ought to succeed. We yesterday re-
ceived the prospectus of the new jour
nal. which is as follows: "The want
of a daily morning Democratic paper
in the city of San Francisco, and the
State, having been severely felt, an eff
fort will be made to establish and main
tain such a newspaper as will meet the
requirements of the day. The Demo-
cratic party in this city and State is
large, and the patronage OF its mem
bers SO much desire, that the ~so-called
independent morning and evening
newspapers pander in every way pos
sible to obtain the subscriptions and
business advertisements of its MEM
bers. They applaud the principles Of
Democracy. They make a seeming
popularity for men; and recommend
for party Endorsement individuals
with the understanding almost ex-
pressed that they will support them
for public positions. Within a few
days of the election the principles of
Democracy are scorned; the men
whom they have been instrumental in
having nominated are denounced and
betrayed; and in their place are raised
individuals of no political creed or
faith, but who will faithfully do the
bidding of their masters. To remedy
these fragrant abuses it is designed to
start this newspaper. Its name will he
The San Francisco Democrat. In poll
tics it will be Democratic. 1t will be
the champion of no man for
a nomination for any Office, but
will give an unwayering support to an
unexceptional representative Demo
cratic ticket. 1t will oppose all
cliques, combinations, corporations and
individuals conspiring to defraud the
State or the city of San Francisco. 1t
will endeavor to deal politically with
living issues and let the past sin. into
oblivion. The editorial department
will be ably managed. The Geographic,
local and commercial columns will
present the latest reliable news. 1t
will be furnished at the price of twen-
ty-five cents per month";"

engaged in the trial Of the suit of Mrs.
NJ. Apple against Robert Apple, tor
divorce. on the ground of extreme
cruelty. The principal witness on the
part of the prosecution was the plain
tiff, who testified to several specific
instances of cruely, physical and men,
tai. Her testimony was, on material
points, corroborated by other wit
nesses, who testified to having seer
the acts committed which were COM
planned of. In one instance the
charge was that the defendant threw a
knife at the plaintiff, and in another
that he threw a pan of hot bacon at
her. In addition, Mrs. Apple swore
that her husband had deserted her i'm
st. Louis some years ago, End left
her destitute. She condoned that Of

ly. Mr.. apple denied every statement
made by the plaintiff. He swore that

means would allow. When ne was
married to her he was worth about
$780, 00. Now he was poor, and he
thought that was the main trouble.
Mr.. Apple is about so years of age,
and Mrs. Apple is not yet 80. The
jury returned a verdict in favor OF

REMIN ISCENCES OF MEADOW
LAKE.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jul

SAN Francisco, June s.
EDITOR SENTINEL: The perusal in
q recent number of your paper of
your interesting sketch of the rapid
rise and swift collapse of the town of
Meadow Lake, has revived my recol-
lections of the camp and its former in
habitants, and l take advantage Of a
leisure hour to send you a few lines
concerning some of our old acquaint-
ances.
Alex. Wightman, the old President
of the Excelsior Stock and Exchange
Board" is now a resident of Stockton,
CAL, where he has been for some
years in the employ of Wells, Fargo Il
Co. Alexis faith in the future of Mea-
dow Lake is as strong TO- as it Mas
when hesowned feet by the thousands
and town lots by the square mile. He
believes that the long-looked- for PRO
cess =" will be found at last, and that
some "~scientific cuss" will scale old
Man Mountain some day, sooner or
later, with y chemical discovery that
will prove the open SESAME" to the
gold and silver wealth that lies locked
up SO tenaciously in the veins of the
Excelsior Mining district. During the
"iush times Of Meadow Lake, Alex.
laid ont a town about half way up the
side of old Man Mountain, and in hon
or of his native place dubbed il Balti-

made of its future wealth and power,
and the writer was SO convinced that
Baltimore would he the principal
camp of the district that he was anx-
ious to buy a lot, and persuaded Alex.
to agree to let him have one-just a
small one-at bedrock prices. Before
the city could be laid out and sur
yeyed the bottom fell out Of Meadow
Lake, and Baltimore went down in
the general crash, and l did not gel

sHERmAN,s SECOND MARCH.

The brilliant, if irratic, General Sher-
man has something more on his hands
now than a triumphal march through
Georgia. In that celebrated under
taking he had a powerful, fearless
army ready to carry out his designs,
but in this latter display of personal
courage, hacking at and hewing down
the exalted military regulations of his
compeers, the General will have to do
the fighting mainly single-handed. 1t
is hard to decide as to the justice or
injustice of the charges he brings
against several we'll known officers,
but it is at least a pleasure to find a
military man who has a mind of his
own, not to be fettered by red-tape,
and q powar to make himself heard in
defense of what he evidently believes
to be right. Sherman's Memoirs,
Judging from extracts we have read,
will prove we'll worth a careful perusal,
and If some things Of a personal ma
ture have been said, that might have
been prudently withheld, we suspect
the author feels himself equal to the
task OF maintaining his ground against
all corners To the publishers Of the
work, the severe criticism it is meeting
with is the very thing they desire ia
secure for 1t a wide circulation, and il
Sherman's military genius does gel
some undesirable knocks, we do not
expect TO see him lose much of his
prestige as one Of the grandest heroes
which our civil war brought into view.

THE CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN
CONvE NTION.

We have something from the Re-
publican State Convention in Sacra-
mento. The Congressional nominees,
40 far as made, are alluded to else
where in these columns. According to
the latest advices, the gubernatorial
programme has been changed. Ex-
Congressman T. G. Phelps is the COM
ing man. The convention selected
Sargent, Chairman; Marcus D. Bo-
ruck, Secretary; appointed the proper
committees and then recessed until :
o'clock in the evening. We received
nothing after that hour. 1t Is an
nounced, however, that Phelps would,
without doubt, be the choice OF the
convention for Governor. The adj
dress delivered in San Francisco by
Phelps a few days since on the subject
OF State taxation, evidently did the
work. The address was highly con-
mended for its soundness by the press
of the coast, and we should not be
surprised If he ran a long way ahead
of his ticket. There is but one thing
that is likely to operate against him.
He is found in doubtful company
that is as things are viewed in these
latter days of Dolly Vardenism. 1t
will be observed that Sargent, Gorham
and Boruck are figuring very promi-
nently in the Sacramento gathering.
This is q circumstance not likely to
promote the chances Of any portion
of the ticket; and yet it is too early to
form a definite conclusion regarding
the campaign in our neighboring State.
The Democrats and Independents re-
main to be heard from. If they should
happen to act in concert, the Repub-
deans would, Of course, be distanced
in the race. Further developments
will be watched with a great deal OF
Interest, not in California alone,
but all over the Pacific Coast. If our
memory serves us, the Independent
State Convention will assemble on the
18th inst, aud the Democratic on the
2sth-or vice versa. At any rate, both
parties hold their State Conventions
during the present month.

Metropolitan Police Atrocity.

Nothing could be conceived more anti
Republican and despotie than this meae-
IRE. 1t vests supreme powers ia the
hands OF the Governor, and makes him
practically q despot. He appoints the
Commissioners who are to organize the
military establishment, aud removes them
1t his discretion. There is no limit to his
20 Ser, nor check upon his ~prerogative.
He appoints whom he pleases and dis
misses at his will. And the creatures Of
bis caprice, are to appoint the officers who
command the force. The standing force is
to c insist of he hundred men, but it may
be indefinitely increased at the discretion
of the Metropolitan Board for special SER
vice-the Board itself being the judge OF
the n o.ssity.
To support this establishment, a special
tax is to be levied upon the property Of
the city aud county. The cost will be
enormously oppressive. The three Com
misrioners alone are TO receive So, 900 a
gear. The officers 10 command of the
Police are TO receive 81 800 and 81. 500
per annum, Captains and Sergesnts, re-
spectiveIy; and the patrolmen, or privates
are to receive 500 q month. The city is
to provide Office sccommod atoms for the
Commissioners, an station house, equip
ments, etc, for tue force. The whole cost
cannot be less thsn $500. 900 per amman.
Especially is it deslnged as a punish
ment and a humiliation for Vicksburg.
Not only did her citizens rebel against the
Wholesale thieving OF which they were the
victims, but they elected a capable and
honest city government This bill taxes
away her chartered privileges and reduces
her municipal government to a mere nul.
lity. 1t abolishes her police department,
and vests its powers in the force created
by this bill. 1t takes from the Mayor the
duties sppertaining to his Office under ex.
lsting lsss and vests them in the
Metro oolitsn Clerical Commissioner. In
q word, it does everything which msligni-
ty, love of plumber, haired and revenge
could invent to torture, humiliate and i'm
the community, or hat class Of
the community, who are designed to be
punished. Clarion.
