Some guerilla, concealed behind the mask
ed battery of the editorial columns of the
Enquirer, is hotIy engaged in assailing Judge
DeBruler for sentiments uttered in his speech
at Mozart Hall last Saturday night. Such
terms as +" sapient judge" judicial traitor,
"ermined traitor" ETC., indicate that some
feeling besides partizanship enters into the
TRADE of the guerilla. 1t is plainly to be
seen, that personal spite is the moving cause
of the hostility to the Judge. 1t may be,
that in some decision he has cut pretty deep
into the interests of his assailant; or perhaps
in his capacity as lawyer he has had to
dissect some business transactions of bis
embittered antagonist. Or who knows
that the latter has not some case in Judge
DeB.'s court which he desires some less just
jurist to decide? This view of the case is
justified by the following extract from the
second article which appears as editorial in
the Enquirer.


We are glad to know the people of his
Judicial District are quite ready and will.
ing to dispense with his further service on
the bench"


This is the first time we ever heard a
whisper of dissatisfaction against Judge
DeBruler in his official capacity and we
venture to say that there are not ten men
in his district who, laying aside partizan
feeling, are not entirely satisfied with his
official course. We have heard it repeated
10 osaartad thof ba iS ayninan+Iv DopuIor as
a Judge, and that even his political oppo-
nents praise his qualifications and concede
his impartiality.


1t comes with a bad grace from this hid
without stint, and to talk in the same arti-
Gle about the sacred character of the Judge
ship. AS if the Judgeship out here in In~
diana, though not so elevated in the opinion
of men, were not as worthy of respect as
the Judgeship at Washington.


We wish to show up the Inconsistency of
this guerilla writer, and of the paper that
publishes his illusions as editorial, and en-
dorses them as such. They are Squatter
Sovereignty advocates, and the extra judicial
dogmas of the Supreme Court, which Judge
DeBruler condemns, completely give the
lie to and render nugatory that doctrine.


z
The Enquirer and its hidden editor turn on
Judge DeBruler and violently abuse him
because he refuses to acknowledge the bind
ing force of the mere private opinions of a
part of the individuals composing the Su-
preme Court. In the vindictiveness felt
toward Judge DeBruler, the Enquirer men
forget that the Judges they affect to worship
seek to overthrow that very principle for
which they express so warm a veneration.


The spirit and substance of the Enquirer S
friends toward him more strongly, and make
him new admirers.

We have enlarged the Railroad Guide
that has long been published in this paper,
so as to include the time of the arrival and
departure of the Regular River Packets.
We have included all of whose time tables
we are officially advised by advertisements.
We do not want any guessing at their time !;
therefore, if any boat-oficers desire their
time included in this Guide, the way to get
it inserted is to send us in an advertisement,
so we can inform ourselves correctly as to
their time.


This guide is for the benefit of persons
travelling, who generally look to the news
papers for information of this sort. By il
they can, at a glance, see how to plan 8
journey. 1t is designed as a public conve.
nience, and we do it gratuitously, for the
benefit of our readers. But it cannot be
expected that we will take the same pain:
20 keep the running time of boats that dc
not patronize us, before the public, as of those
that do.

GENTLEMEN Your official communica-
ton of the 18th inst, informing me that
the representatives of the Republican party
of the U. S., assembled ct Chicago, on
t1at day had by unanimous vote elected me,
as their candidate for the Office of Vice
President of the United States, has been
received, together with the resolutions adopt
ed by the Convention as its declaration OF
principles. Those resolutions enunciate
clearly and forcibly the principles which
unite us, and the objects proposed to be ac-
cOmplished. They address themselves to
all, and there is neither necessity nor pro
priety in my entering upon a discussion OF
them. They have the approval of my
Judgment, and any action of mine will be
faithfully and cordially sustained.


I am profoundly grateful to those with
whom it is my pride and pleasure politically
to operate, for the nomination so unexpect-
edly conferred, and I desire to tender
through YOU to the members of the Conven-
ton my sincere thanks for the confidence
thus reposed in me. Should the nomina-
ton which | now accept be ratified by the
people, and the duties devOlve upon me OF
presiding over the Senate of the United
States, it will be my earnest endeavor faith
fully to discharge them with just regard
for the rights of all. 1t is to be observed
in connection with the doings of the Repub-
lican Convention, that paramount object
with US, is to preserve the normal condition
of our Territorial domain as homes for free
men. The able advocate and defender Of
Republican principles whom you have NOM
mated for the highest place that can crafty
the ambition of man, comes from State
which has been made what it is by special
action in that respect, of good and wise men
who founded our institutions. The right
of free labor has there been vindicated and
maintained. The thrift and enterprise
which so distinguish Illinois, one of the
most fiourishing States of the glorious
West.

EwOur amiable (0 cote'nporary the
Iowa Hill Patriot says, upon the success
and continuance in Office. of what it is
pleased to term Gwin & Co., the existence
of the Placer Herald in a great measure
depends.


AS the Herald has never solicited or OBJ
tanned either State or Federal patronage, or
depended upon any other support than the
legitimate business of printing, the success
or defeat Of any members of the Democratic
party, will not make or undo its pecuniary
prospects.

business, as the Herald has done, then may
it consider itself a permanent establishment
of the county, and entitled to possess some
influence and respect among its readers.

An OvertOWlng state treasury Is cause
of much uneasiness to some of the patriotic
O) gentlemen who congregate outside and
inside of the walls of the Capitol at Sacra-
mento, and to none more SO, we should
Judge, than the talking member from YoIo,
Mr.. Gwinn, who has ccncocted bill, which
Il successful, will rake the strong box Of dou-
bic eagles too numerous to mention. This
is none other than a bill providing for the
taking of the census under the authority OF
the State during the present year; giving
the Governor the appointing power of an
agent for each county, and allowing such
agents $40 per diem for their services. A
more deliberate attempt to force the useless
expenditure of $4,000 or $4,000 of the
States money, has not before been made at
the present session.


1t will be remembered that the census of
the United States is required to be taken
this year, under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and the expenses at
tending the work, as usual, will be paid by
the General Government. The Secretary
is authorized to allow an increased compen-
sation to census agents upon this coast, and
has already signified bis intention to double
the pay in California. In the face Of these
facts, the proposition of Mr.. Gwinn looks
very like an attempt to 'rake the Treasury"
for no other purpose than to make places for
numerous hungry hangers on, who have
already done and propose more service to
the political master Mr.. Gwnn delights to
honor.


The Constitution Of this State provides
that census should be taken of the inhabi-
atnts in 1852, and in 1855, "and at the end
of every ten years thereafter, and these
enumerations, together with the census that
may be taken under The direction of the
Congress Of the United States, in the year
one thousand eight hundred and fifty, and
every subsequent ten years, shall serve as
the basis of representation in both houses
Of the Legislature" This section shows the
intent of the trainers of the Constitution to
obtain census every five years-the State
and the United States alternating in the
work. But Mr.. Gwinn proposes to override
this Constitutional provision. He is well
aware that census will e taken by the
General Government, the expenses of which
it will pay; but he is willing to put the State
to n similar expense at the same time The
census taken bv the State could not be re-
ceived by the General Government, as the
basis of Congressional representation, in
preference to the one taken under its own
authority; but on the other hand our Con-
sttution says the United States census of
this year shall be taken as the basis of our
Legislative representation.


This should be sufficient for our Lecisla-
ture, and cause it to put a quetus upon this
grand scheme to fasten regiment of hun
cry pap suckers upon the State Treasury for
purely political purposes. We shall see if
there be majority Of members willing to
assume the responsibility of this beautiful
project

Loss OF CATrLE.-The severe frost expert
enced for some time past is resulting in q
serious loss of cattle to the stock owners ot
the western portion of this county. We are
informed that there are more dead cattle on
the plains at the present time than has been
own in years. The frosts have prevented
the growth of grass, and no provision being
made to feed the cattle with hay, they obtain
but a precsrious subsistence at best, and ma
nv die. As there is more or less loss Of
cattle every year from this cause, it does
seem as if sef-interest would prompt ranch
eros to provide sufficient hay to keep their
stock from starvation at the worst season Of
the year.

~ We copy the following from the Paris
correspondence Of the N. Y. Times


The French Press comment very generally on
the execution Of john Brown, and in tone lit
tie complimentary to American pride. With the
disposition to magnify and to go beyond the
facts, in which they are only following the eX-
ample of the American Press, they declare that
from the execution of this martyr TO great
cause, dates the overthrow either of Slavery or
the American Union. Their wishes are natu-
rally for the abolition OF Slavery and the preser
walton of the Union. But they seem prepared
for great eVerts.


An American citizen was lately notified by
the French military authorities that he must
attend on a certain day at the office Of the Pre-
feet of the department in which he lived, to
draw in the cOnscript.On for seven years mill
tary service. He naturally resisted the demand,
and was arrested and carried before a military
tribunal on the grave charge Of resistance to
aud contempt Of the law. Marshal Aaynau was
present in the Court when the case came up
NJ ROussel a Partisan lawyer, employed ty the
refractory American, commenced his speech
thus;


"Gentlemen you have committed a most
grave error in arresting my client. He is moi
only a citizen, but was born a citizen Of the
Government which Of all others protects with
the most energy and the most jealousy its sub
jects, whether in Europe or elsewhere, whether
they be full or only partial subjects I warn
you also, that of all the legations of the Unit
States in Europe, that OF Paris is the most sen
silive to the rights OF its people"


This appeal had the desired effect. The gen
tleman, who was a Louisiana Creole, was sc
quilted with an apology for the e:rOr-As in fac

KEEPING APPLEs.-It is well known, saws
the Working Farmer that apples keep longer
after having parted with portion of the water
they contain. When first taken from the tree,
if laid in heap eighteen inches in depth, and
covered with a light cloth, or little straw, they
will soon sweat; when this operation has sue
ceeded fairly, the cover, or straw should be ta-
ken off, the windows opened, and the apples
suffered to dry as suddenly as possible. By
this operation they will lose five or six per cent
of weight, and if packed in barrels and shipped,
arriving at their port of destination before a
second sweating shall occur, they will be all
sound, unless bruised in the packing or car
riage If dried Immediately after the second
sweating, instead of being left closely packed
while damp, they are again prepared for still
longer voyage before decay will occur. Those
who ship apples to Europe are well aware Of
these facts, and use the necessary preventive
against decay.

A CANADIAN VIGw.-The Toronto Leader
says the present crisis in this country,
whether any of the States secede or not,
will tend to check the desire for territorial
aggrandisement, and adds:


"If the secession of the Cotton States
should take place, what becomes of the
Cuba question? The Southern Confedera-
cy would find its views on this subject op-
posed not by France and England merely,
but by the great and powerful Republic of
the North. Thus the expansion of the South
would become impossible. Slavery would
never be allowed to be carried into any of
the Territories of the United States so
that secession means the suicide Of South
ern interests and it is strange that South
Carolina cannot see what all the rest Of the
world sees so plainly"
