VOTE FOR JUsTICEs. The ballots OF
both parties this year are printed with II
place lett Cor Justices of the Peace. A
little explanation is necessary. The Ju-
dicial Election in October is the election
at which all judicial officers are chosen,
consequently vote for Justice of the
Peace ut this time amounts to nothing
more than an expression of opinion
There is, this year no State Judicial tick
ct, no district ticket nor no county ticket.
There will be no election (or Supreme
Justices or State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction until 1879, and our Dis
tlirt and County Judges We're elected two
years ago. There is nothing To vote fol
this year in this county except justices
If the Peace for the several tuwnships.-
1t would seem tarcical to go to the eX-
pcnse of holding an election all over the
county just for the purpose Of choosing
justices, and it seems to be understood
that the voters will signify their prefer
enc9 at this election, no election Ge held in
October, and whoever appears to be the
choice will be appointed by the Board OF
Supervisors. In this manner the expense
and annoyance of another election can be
avoided aud the people still signify their

The AssEMBLY.-We embraced the
occasion OF Nv. klotz' visit to this place
to interview " him on the Senatorial
question. We presumed from the fact Of
his being endorsed by the Shasta Repub-
licans that be had given them satisiacto-
ry pledges AS to the course he would pur-
sue on the Senatorial question, but such
Is not the case. klotz declines TO swerve
from his standing as an Independent cam
didate aud will not he bound by any par
ty obligation. For Senator he will, il
elected, support the man who will best
serve the State. be he Republican, or Dem
ocrat, klotz will undoubtedly obtain
strong support in this county among those
Republicans who were favorable to the
election Of Booth as Senator, as it is to
Klotz' vote that Booth really owes his
position. As We have saii heretofore
the ouly thing the Republicans of the
District have to make II fight for is the
Senatorial succession and they do stand
some chance ofa vote for a Republican
Senator from klo.z, while Dr.. Montague
will, of course. support the caucus nom-
rec of his party. The fact that klo;z car
ried Shasta county over Bricelaud two
years ago, when there were three candi-
dates IN the field shows that his neigh
hors have confidence i'll him. 50 far as
the personal character Of the two candi-
dates is concerned, the local interests of
the county will he safe in the hands Of

his views upon several question:. of pub

CORRESPONDENCE.
A YOUNG LADY TALKS.

A large assemblage gathered on Sat
urday evening last at the Odd Fellows
Hail to hear an original lecture by Miss
Minnie Worthington, of this place. The
discourse lasted something oyer an hour
and was repletc with good points and
sparkling with humor. The young lady,
to those who know her best, has given
promises of unusual brillancy and some
thing pretty good was expected. But the
audience dispersed satisfied and more
than satisfed-aStonished and delighted.
With proper encouragement, splendid
future is in store for the youthful lectur-
ess. Her father, DR.. Worthingt0n, is
well known as gentleman Of scientific
and literary attainmeuts. She will prob
ably give your people u chance to Judge
her merits at no dista Mt day.
LIES vICIssITUDEs
were we'll illustrated by a case that came
to notice the other day. A young man
diiitcd into our little world who proved
to be IL brother OF Edward Bo>qui, the
well known printer of San Fraucisco.-
Until about "a year ago had been engaged
ir clerkng tor an establishment in Hum
boldt county, and by diut of economy
and attention to business had secured to
himself nca little income. A brother
OF his getting into some trouble, he stood
by him to the end, in the face OF public
opinion, which grew so strong against
him that he was forced to leave. He
went to San Francisco. Through his
brother, he found his way into circle of
acquaintances, some of whom were fitting
up IN expedition for Arizona. Inhucnc.
ed by them and the representations Of
their chief engineer, who had been sent
on in advance, he placed his entire capi
tai into the aid of the enterprise and join.
ed the party. Arrived at their de>tiua
ton, they set Immediately at work, bat
found that the ore, though quite rich, as
saying $50 or S75 per ton, was refractory,
and that smelling in their furnaces was
dead failure. 1t is hardly necessary e.
conclude that Bosqui never Gterward
saw dollar Of his money and now he
has come to that stage in the great dram
ma, known as commence again."
