my mind that this forcing of Judge Ham
upon the Yuba delegates, by a majority vote,
and the consequent ignoring of the claims of
other strong and Jealous party men, will be
followed by flat refusal upon the part of a
very large number of Democrats to longer

creature, that it is, because the necessity for
it is not now so pressing as it seemed to be
when the Union and Bulletin were so very
exclusive.


In the House, the bill to create the new
county of Alturas was passed. This will be
glorious news for the Rabbit Creek-ers, with
whom you, as neighbOrs, perhaps, "feel to
