NJ. LEON CHoTrEAu complains that he
has been misrepresentei in these columns,
presumably in our assertion that he met
with rebuff at the hands of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce when he re-
Gently attempted TO induce that body TO in
dorse his humbugging schemes for recipro-
cal commercial treaty between France and
the United States. The truth is us appears
from his own statement of the cnse that the
Chamber of Commerce in question did not
reach any conclusion regarding the pro-
iects he submitted to them, but pigeon-
holed them by reference to n committee of
five With this committee CHOTTEAU la
bored to secure an Endorsement aud failed
the only result of his labors being the adop-
ton by the committeeman by the Cham
ber--of the following politely eyasive reso-
luton:
Resolred, That it (the committee) will study
thoroughly the question of a reciprocity treaty
with France without preconceived prejudice
or bias and that it will only have in view the
best interests of California and of our whole
country.
This is, IL must be admitted, a rebuff, as we

not talked as often or as long as some Of his
peers, but when he has spoken he has had
something to say that will be remembered
for good. He has not attempted in any in

loaded for the game before him, and what is
more, he has never fired blank cartridge ut
the enemy. He never misses fire or the
mark at which his weapon is aimed. lie is

another liccnse and again was united
in marriage with the woman he had
rescued from the wrath of an irnte
shoemaker. Thus, though he never
had but one wife, General jackson
was thrice married.
The knot 80 well tied never grew
slack. Jackson always loved his
wife. Mr.. Hopkins tells All incident
illustrating his devotion to her.
Hopkins had remained over night at
the Generals house after the death of
his wife. One morning he arose very
early and started to walk toward the
Old family cemetery. Iie approached
rather close to the grave of Mrs.
Jackson, and was surprised to find
the General himself knecling over it.
lie rctreatcd his footsteps as soon as
possible, but not too soon for the
quick eye OF the old soldier to see him.
Afterward he spoke to him about the
matter, and said that tho act in which
he, Hopkins, had behcld him was no
uncommon ono. Every morning, he
SAID, no went to the grave, for he
thought that tho proper place for him
to conduct his religious devotion was
by the remains of his wife, who had
been so dear to him, and who had so
great and SO abiding faith in the
graciousness Of tic Ruler of the
Universe.

WHAT does tho Medium think of
Mayor Sales Conservative Liberalism
now? We pause for reply.

CHIEF JUSTICE WILLARD desires tho
correspondent Of tho Ne,cs aa,d Cou,3-
er to say "that his sense of duty leads
him to maintain his views Of tho con-
stitutional rights of his office, because
the election Of Chief Justice in this
State had always been conducted indie
pcndcntly of the interests of politicians
and only upon considerations Of what
was due to the administration of JUS
ticc, and he was not willing that his
administration should be signalized
by a departure from this healthy
practice" All this does very well,
perhaps, but when Judge Willard was
elected, it was under tho distinct I'M
preston that he would fill only the
uncxpircd term Of Chief Justice
Moses. Under such circumstances he
=" ght not to press his claim for Il full
term.

A Stampede.

Mayor Sales so-callcd Democratic
Executive Committee has stampcdcd
bodily into tho Radical camp. 1t
publishes notice Of a primary cleo
fion for mayor, OH the 18th Of Dccem-
her, five days before the election. In
reference to the voting it announces
that "as there is no Republican candi-
date in the field, every voter in tho
city shall have the right to participate
IN tho Primary Election, IN order that
they may declare their preference
amongst Democratic candidates tor
mdyor for the meet .four years."
Such a pronunciamcnto is unparalleled
in the history Of politics, and would
be stamped as Il c0narM but for it's
appearance as II paid advertisement
over the signature Of the so-callcd
chairman Of the city Democracy. A
Democratic primary at which every
voter in the city shall votcl Who
ever heard Of such proposition out
side ofa lunatic asylum2 When Cor
bin and Bowen and Mackcy arc in
Vitcd to sclrcta standard bearer for
the Democracy, it is high time for the
democrats to hang their heads in
shame. The invitation of the Sale
committee is admirable in the origi-
nality Of it's conception, bind in the au-
dacity Of its promulgation. But it is
susceptible Of al Improvement. Let
tho whole matter be referred at once
to a massmccting Of Elliott Street,
regardless of race, Sex or previous
condition. This would spare tho rest
of the city the Inconvenience of at
tending the polls, and would be quite
as likely to satisfy tho rcspcctability
and honesty OF Charleston as n prima-
ry participated in bv tho raging and
bobtail OF Rndicalism.
The contest is now narrowed down
to Il straightout fight between Dcmoc-
lncy and Radicalism. Whoever may
bc chosen at this iondcscript primary
will be tho regular Radical candidate,
under whatever pscudonym hc may
wish to disguise himself. Charleston
will not be long in deciding between
them. We believe the last act of tho
Sale committee has mado Captain
Courtcnay's election sure.

a PENIrENTIARY USED nY COUNTER
EElTERs.--For somc timc past counter
felt silver dollars, halves, quarters,
dimes and nickcls have been circulated
quite extensively in Frankfort, Kv.,
and the ncighboring towns. Several
days ago these coins were traced to
tho Kentucky penitentiary. The pris-
on authorities were notified Of the fact
and they determined to make OIL inves-
tigation. The prisoners were locked
up IN their cells and diligent search
was instituted in the various depart
mcnts Of the prison. The result was
the finding ofthc mint and almost a

(From the Denver TribuneJ


(From the Denver Tribune,1
Jackson was a young lawyer. He
was on his way from Tennessee to
some town i'll Kentucky to attend
court. lle was passing through what
is now either Warren or Barren couu-
ty III the Green River country, which
was then but thinly settled, and most
or it covered with forests. Approach
i g lone cabin in the road, he heard
the cries Of a woman, which grew
more and more distinct the nearer he
approached the house. Squirting up the
animal he was riding, he soon reached
the cabin, and, alighting from his
horse, entered it to find a shoemaker
beating his wife with great strap of
leather. Tho sounds that he had heard
proceeded from her throat. Disrc-
garding the old admo,ishmcnt never
to Interfere between husband and wife,
he caught tho mans arm and compell-
cd him to dcsist from his diabolical
paslimc. Then half showing him,
half Kicking him into the yard, he told
the fellow to clear out. "You con-
founded scoundrclW he exclaimed; !;
''lcave the country Immediately, and
never lot me hear Of your showing
your ugly face TO this woman again.
My name is Andrew jackson; I am a
lawyer. | am going up here to court,
but l will return to this place every
day or two until am sure that vol,
are so far away that you can cause
the lady no more disturbance. If she
has no one else to protect her, 1 will
do it,"
The positive manner Of tho Young
advocate convinced the cowarClly hus-
band that his adversary meant what
he said. So he took Jackson's. ad-
vice and cleared out.
Jackson visited the woman, as hc
had avowcd he would, and from be-
coming interested in her case became
interested in her and she in him. In
the course OfA year he procured q
decree Of divorce for the woman from
her husband, and then married her.
The marriage was q quiet one, and
occurred near Nashville. Tho name
of the witc's first husband was Rob-
erts, and her own maiden name was
Donaldson. Hopkins says that she
was an illiterate, woman, but had a
very Kind heart, and was always A
good, true, and worthy wife Of jack
son.
Soon after tho marriage, jackson
determined to emigrato to what was
then the Territory of Mississippi.
Here tho report became current that
he had not been married to the woman
with whom he was living. 'sI was
married to her" no said, tin Tonnes
see, IN tho presence Of two witnesses,
but if It will DO amy qualification to
any Of these people hore to havo us
married again, | am willing" "And,
he goes and is married again."
Some time afterward Mr.. jackson
and his wifo went to kentucky. There
they found that Roberts, Mrs. Jack
sons first husband, had boon circulat.

been married. Bong willing that all
parties should bo satisfied on this
