a FRANK lNDoRSEMENr.-Th Plumas National
ernor IN the following unmistakable terms: q In
expressing our preference for General Bidwell
we would not be considered as making war Upon
the other Union candidates for Governor, for we
believe that all who are in the field for that posi-
ton, are capable men, and we propose to abide
cheertully by the decision OF the Union State
convention, and support heartily its entire list
OF nominees, whoever they may be. But sub
Ject to that decision. we do not hesitate to an
nounce our unqualified preference for General
Bidwell, with belief that he is the choicesof
the great body of members of the Union party of
our county. The grounds upon which we adyo-
cate the nomination of General Bidwell, are the
same as those which have already secured to
him the enthusiastic support of very many Union
papers Of the State: His un1oubted capacity


his sterling integrity, and, above all, his un-
finching devotion to the great principles to hch
the Union party is committed entitle him to our
regard and confidence. His straig t-forward
course in regard to all the great measures which
have come before the body of national represen-
tatives of which he has been q member and the
firm stand which he took at the very commence
ment of the rupture between the President and
Congress, before the question at issue had been
agitated among the people, convince that he
is a Radical Union from principle, and not
a mere scheming politician, who would shirk the
responsibility of assuming a position upon new


issues until popular opinion is known, or betray
his party for mess of pottage. We consider
General Bidwell an honest com1etent tried and
true public servant, and as such we desire to see
him rewarded by elevation to tie high position
of honor and trust for which he is named''

The city yesterday abounded in rumors
respecting the forthcoming trial Of this
state prisoner Men who certainly have
the opportunities TO know, confidently
affirm that Judge CLASS will not at any
time preside in the court at Richmond
which proposes to try Mr.. DAVIS; that the
Chief Justice has scruples, which he cannot
conscientiously violate, that forbid him to
proceed in this trial while the State where
the court is held is under military rule.
OF course this is rumor, and we give it as
such, though there is semblance Of truth
about it, which renders it probable.


1t will be seen that our telegraPhic col
umn announces that Ex-President FRANK
PIERCE in on:a visit to Fortress Monroe
and it is said that this visit is for the pur.
pose of advising Mr.. DAVIS to accept q
pardon from the President, and thus avoid
coming into the clutches Of Judge UNDER

will be as inexorable as the law, which
makes treason one of the chiefest Of crimes

mounted q bench, stated the loss,

those around him to remain perfectly
quiet, as his watch struck the hours

but the eye of the proprietor detected
an individual who was trying to edge
away from the vicinity, and he imme-

thief. The latter was seized, and the
watch was found upon him; and as the
owner quietly put 1t into his pocket,
he remarked, "The watch does not
strike the hours but 1 thought my as

s9 We have seen no full report of the evidence before the Congressional con- mittee investigating into the election of MT. w. H. Barnum last Spring. From the reports we have seen, and from private sources we learn that much bribing was proved to have been committed in Salisbu- ry and Canaan. We do not imagine it was confined to one side; nevertheless, if it can be proved that the sitting member was connected with it, he deserves to be busted and new election ordered. The open manner in which voters are bought and sold in the northwestern towns of this county is disgrace to the people of those commit mites. Practically, it does not seem one whit more discreditable in those towns to buy voter and pay for him, than to buy Q drink of liquor and pay for that.
