weprenar, 0 DEc. % 1868. Capinmr--Maxansi—The politicians and newspaper correspondents are exccoedingly busy making Cabinets for __ General Grant's ‘administration. One er ally confident gives 4 new list of Sidelid ocmsatned to “Roy whe shall have the seat from the Pacific Coast.— generally count Oregon and Ne-@ut of the ring, and seem to think that the Pacific coast appointment mast come from California. Governor Woods. of Oregon, or Senator Williams would either of them make a @o0od Secretary of Interior. Eugene ee John B. Felton, John Conness and several other Californians have been mentioned. Senator Nye of Ne_ Vad has also been , but the Cabinet markers of the East, 'thongh they ‘upon persons for other Secs. have. not yet named the in for the Pacific. We are inclined to think these wise ones will find themselves wide of the mark when the real Cabinet comes to be announced by Grant. ‘The keen judgment and correct estimate of men which enabled Grant to choose his officers and to fix upor Sherman as a great ‘leader after hé"had been relieved of command and was pronounced insane by newspaper _ Correspondents, will not fail Grant in . his new position. He seems to judge men intuitively and his jadgment never fails. Politicians and correspondents by selfish motives, and ‘then fori to wite« Cabinet into ex. for Grant will hardly be suce to settle the account, but no nde reached. On Saturday evening these two, with others, engaged in & game of cards at Ross’ store. AtS o Leachman got up and went tohie home, and was followed by ce i pm Diodndier we over the hag = a in front of the store. Being busy at the time he did not go out, and shortly it was announced that Leachman was killed. The struggle between the two men was witnessed by ‘e Chinaman, omployed as a cook by Leachman, andthe weapon used was ab fe taken from the store of eo ‘The following is the description of the murderer, who is ‘still at large: Age, ae sy thirty-seven to forty ; hight, about feet ten or eloven inches ; spare in person ; a little round-shouldered; sandy * hair and beard—the latter three or four inches long on the chin, but short on the rest of his face ; eyes, blue or gray ; had on a short eck coat, brown or snuff «olor; paritaloons, light brown or snuff, and striped, and worn inside of his boots; shirtoof a light color, and a Dlackyhat,rather broad-brimmed, and _ half worn. Grass VaLLey Censvus.—Jobn Webber, Town Census Marshal, says the National, bus completed his labors and reporte the population of Grass Valley as follows: Males, 21 years and over, 1,666; males under 21, 825; females, 18 years of age and ever, 847; females under 18, 763 ; total, 4,110. The town site is two miles in length east and west, and a mile and a half wide north @nd south, ond embraces the following sections and parts of sections: Section 27, west half of section 26, east half of section 28, north-east fourth of section 38, north half of section $4, and northwest fourth of section 35, ‘ » rid Io Miss P. W. Forsyth has succeeded her father as publisher of the Liberty Miss. Adrocate, having had twelve years experience inthe composing room. California, the ‘lead ry wp , have'at last © ont the last ditch of degradation, and jn the Secretary of State they find a willing tool for carrying out ‘their infamous purposes todefeat the will of the people‘of this ‘State as expressed at the ‘ballot box. Such a barefaced, outrageous and contemptible proceeding was mever undertaken during the palmy days of Billy Mulligan and Yankee Sullivan, us that of counting in Henly and counting out Hoffman by the present Secretary of State. It appears that no position is too sacred, no office too high but it may be prostituted to party purposes, and the leaders of the party appland. Ina dark room, away from any bat his own partizans, Dr. Nichols proceeded to count the votes and to make up his returns so as to give the election to Henly, no doubt expecting to have the certificates issued and signed. by Governor Haight, who, by the adinis— sion of the Secretary was one of the chief devils in the plot, and thus put the matter beyond reach of the Courts. They were caught in the scheme just in time to prevent its consammation.— As to the question. Every man in the State knows that only one Hoffman was a candidate, and every lawyer knows that a middle initial letter, if wrong, does not vitiate a vote. The in-ention of the people was maniiest therefore and the attempt to defeat Hoffman by the recent counting or miscounting uf votes, was palpable, infamous and damnable attempt on the part of those concerned to defeat the clea: ly expressed will of the people of this Sate, This attempt fraudulently to defeat the will of the people deserves the condemnation of every good citizen. Fine Woou.—We find in a Vermont paper, says the Oregonian, a very curious history of the growth of fine wool and the manner of its introduction in the United States, Fifty years ago scarcely a pound of fine wool was +. grown in the United States, in Great Britain, or in any other country except Spain. In 1784, a small flock was sent tothe Elector Saxony as a present from the King of Spain, whence the entire product of Saxony wool, now of such immense value. In 1809, during . © the invasion of Spain by the Fren some of the valuable crown fi so'd to raise money, Consul, Jarvis, at n, purchased 1,400 head and sent them to this country. A portion of this pure and unmixed Merino flock is still to be found in Vermont at this time. Such was the origin of the immense flock cf fine wool sheep in the United States at the present time, Tae VoTE.—The object of the Secretary of State has been defeated, and }all the hopes of saving stakes entertained by Democrats have been dashed by a mandamus trom the District Court. The Court has issued an order requiring the Secretary to count all votes cast for Hoffman. This is in accordance with all thedecisions in law, and also in obedience to our own Statute, providing that “no ticket shall be lost for want of form, if the Board of Judges can determine to their satisfaction the person for and the office intended.” There was only one Hoffman a candidate,and there could be no question, as the first initial was his, that all the votes were intended for him. The Secretary of State, had he not been caught, no doubt intended to make his certificate so that his party friends might draw their money. But the cable slipped, and the. trick was spoiled. Of course the Secretary will gracefully submit to the edict of the Court and count Hoffman in. At Lucerne, recently, Queen Victoria offered a party of ten pin players $400 to abstain from playing on the Sabbath while she stayed av the hotel. The landlord refused, rudely adding that Switzerland was a free country, and those who disliked their customers might stay away. THE expense of putting up a private telegraph is about $500. There are 50 of them in New York. eee SPAIN has adopted the French system of coinage. “ “Tue Las Drrcs.—The Democracy Finck Paci anda is more destructive to life n the]. most unwholesome ‘trades, or than resBe idence in an unwholesome house or district, where there never hss been the most distant attempt at ‘sanitary improvement of any kind. A Mexpox (¥t.) clergyman accepted an invitation to a ball in that town, on condition that he be allowed to deliver a sermon, which he did,at midnight, to an audience of dancers, who listened attentively to a denunciation of that pastime. _ Tue French police are greatly puzzled to prevent the introduction of Les Lanternes into France. ~ Recently they opened several large packing cases that contained plaster busts of Napoledn IIL; which, when broken, were found to be filled with — of the obnoxious sheet. ’ Tax irom mocntain at C ‘obden, Tiinois, is about five miles long, two hun— dred feet high; and full of ore of ansual purity. A part of the mountain is owned by the Illinois Central Railroad ng? Gronar Francis Train will keep his room in the debtor’s prison a few weeks longer. He received 2,500 votes for Congress against Morriesey’s 15,000. Tue total Republican majority by the New England States is about 148,000, THE popular majority for Grant is about 472,000. CONGRESS meets on next Monday, Dec. 7th, On December 15th, the loyal: soldiers meet in Convention at Chicago. ALTHOUGH Grant was brought upa mechanic he takes no pains to conceal his dislike for Cabinet-makers. It is somewhat singular

Tue Princess Murat has been sued for the price of her wedding jewels. Brigham Young has recently taken five more wives. Tue Bank of France contains 1,300,000,000 francs, BUCKLE, in his History of Civilization, says that marriage does not depend upon love, but upon the price of corn. It is evident that children have long known this, and have even measured love us men measure corn, as appears from their common expression: “] love you two bushels and a peck.” The statistical lover does not now say, as he used to: “Amanda, I love thee,” but instead: * ‘Amanda, provisions are cheap.” so sneaeanies Merry Christmas !
