The judicial Appointments.
March 31st, 1876.

EDITORS CLARION: - Allow one of vour
readers, who seeks no appointment and has
no private interest to subserve, TO submit a
suggestion through your columns. touching
matter which seems to him to merit i'm
mediate consideration.
The present Governor owes his position
to the action of the two branches of the
Legislature. Would it be proper noag for the
Governor, so coming into potoer, TO appoint to
judicial positions the members lcb0se action has
Just had the effect to INCEST him acith the author
ftg to make these appointments 1t seems to
the writer that it may prove a serious, if
not fatal, mistake, if such course is pursued
especially if it goes to any considerable
length-and this aside from any considera-
ton of the new elections which would be
made necessary.
This view is expressed with some diff
dence, by one who is watching with great
interest the hitherto mastery and successful
progress through a critical epoch in our af-
fairs, not yet fully passed. and who gives it
here in the hope that the matter NAV be
thoughtfully considered and wisely de-
cided. DEMOCRAT

was the result OF careful consideration
and conference. The governor saw that
the prime object of the Democrats was to
obtain the office and not to punish him,
and bargain appears to have been made
that if he would give up the place quietly
he should be allowed to go in peace.
Some Republicans here are displeased at
Ames' course, saying that he sold out
instead of standing up puckily and
fighting it through as he ought to have
done. Ames will remove to Minnesota.

HE CarPet-EsagGer's Choice for
President

1t is said that Morton has fourteen Of
the Mississippi delegates to Cincinnati.
and Bristow two. Morton will no doubt
carry two-thirds of the votes from the
Southern States in the nominating con-
vention but in the Presidential election
these States will all go Democratic. The
bloody-shirt followers may force candi-
date on their party, but they cannot give
him an electoral vote.
Morton will be the weakest man the
Radicals can select. The nomination Of
a pestilent agitator like him would
shock the conservative sentiment of the
country; and he would be distanced in
the race by some such sturdy statesman

THE RAIDS, in their State Convention,
ignored Gen. Grant entirely. They
wouldn't endorse him because he did not
employ Federal troops in the late cleo
ton. They are not likely to change his
mind by pouting at him, especially after
the late decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States, that it is no part OF
the duty of United States troops to per
form police duty for the States.

NOT NEEpED.-It is probable that no
further action Will be taken on the Dill
introduced a couple of months since by
Senator Tinnin, defining the rights oil
children of part white and part Indian
blood, and granting them the privilege
of the elective franchise, the Senate judi
ciary Committee, comprising the best
legal talent of that body, being unani-
mously of the opinion that no action Is
needed. This opinion must be based up
on the assumed operation Of the 1Ith and
18th amendments. Senator Tinnin has
earned for himself the gratitude of that
class of people by his prompt action IN
bringing their cause before the Legisla-
ture of the State, for we presume that
henceforth there will be no cavil against
admitting this people to the same politi-
cal rights enjoyed by their fathers. 1t
was held by their friends that some lcgls-
lation was necessary, declaratory ut least,
in consequence of the opinion of Attor-
nev General Love, who held, last Sum
mer, that half-breeds must be classed
as Indians, and therefore not entitled to
vote. Mr.. Tinnn, in letter to a gentle
man of this place informs him that he
has held a conversation with Attorney
General Hamilton upon the subject, and
that that officer stated that his opinion
differed from that Of his predecessor,
and that where half-breed child was
"acknowledged by his father, or had
shown by his mode Of life that he had
severed his tribal relation from his mo-
theirs people" he should rule him to be
entitled to registration and citizenship.
This is certainly as liberal construction Of
the situation as the most Jealous friends
of the boys could ask, for if they choose
to be Indians in their mode Of life, they
must expect to have no greater political
rights than Indians have. We now hope
the boys will bear in mind that they
stand upon footing Of political and civil
equality with those by whom they are
surrounded, and show themselves to be
as worthy of the hon)r Of citizenship as
those from whom they have received it..

ANOTHER IDOL SHATTERED.-The
Hon. j. X. Luttrell was the bright and
shining light of the reformers short time
ago. He was n John the Baptist crying
aloud from the wilderness about that mon
strous fraud the Central Pacific Railroad.
lie was the promised Messiah. He was
the oacle; the fountain of wisdom the
all in all, provided the Sacramento U,,ion
of those days told the truth. Men of SUI
porior worth were maligned daily w
that paper for the purpose of baneftting
Mr.. Lut'rell. Sargent was n " little
bullet headed man." compared with the
great Luttrell, and the editor succeeded
by frequent and persistent repetitions in
making many OF his readers believe that
Mr.. Luttrell was really the greatest man
then in existence. Mr.. Luttrell was at
that time drawing his inspiration from
the'atoresaid editor. When the latter gen
tleman remarked, "Simon says thumbs
up" Mr.. Luttrell got up and when he
Snld Simon says thumbs down." Mr..
Luttrell got down. Now the editor
writes for another sheet. The San Fran
cisco Post is his engine of torture, and
while he continues to torture the great
monopoly some, he is Furnishing Mr..
Luttrcl good deal. He has discovered
that Mr.. Luttrell is drawing his inspira-
ton now from the Directors of the Cen
tral Pacific Railroad, instead of from the
editor Of the defunct Sacramento Union.
and he naturally feels like punching the
Hon. gentleman under the left ear. so
to speak, and he is punching him. He
admits that Mr.. Luttrell has practically
stepped into the ranks ofthe adyocates of
the Central Pacific monopoly. 1t must
be extremely annoying to be compelled
TO make such confession. 1t must grind
the EDITORS sensitive nerves to find that
Sargent is true to the people when the
time arrives that his assistance is needed
and his pet is found wanting when work
and not buncombe is required of him.
Most people knew Mr.. Luttiell was n
years ago, when the Ujtfon
adopted him ms its shuttlc-cock and when
it was bespattering better men with its
Shiny emanations. We are glad the
scales have fallen Off from the Roman
historians eyes, and that he is candid
enough to acknowledge his error. lie

FIFTY'DoLLAR PIECES Wiggington
(ugh what name y has Introduced n
Li.I in Congress to do away with the one
and three dollar gold coins and provide
for the coinage Of fitty-dollar pieces. We
hope Mr.. WIS. bill viii fail to become a
law. The twenty dollar pieces are large
enough for all the purposes of trade, and
Il coin Of larger denomination would be
inconvenient in small business tlansac-
tons. What we need for general use is
a larger coinage Of small god. Besides,
we find it such hard matter to get hold

larger denomination coined. The sight
of tiity-dollar piece would set old Cal
