_. Wat-on Unton.Men.—An idea seems
Be: prevail among some of the political manTagers in this State that all that is necessary
to dispose of a min’who stands in the way
is:.to.raise the cry of copperhead, and no
_ matter what.the past record or the character
of the party'assailed, his fate is sealed. They
_ denounce ien who have stood by the Gov~ ernment since the first voice was ‘raised in
behalf of treason in Congress, who .were
friends of freedom and the North, and stoed
up.for free territories when the hatred and‘even the violence of the chivalry was inear‘yed'thereby. It is time that these foolish
“assaults. should etase. Those who engage’
in them are neither actuated by a love of country nor influenced by a desire for the wel_._ fare-of the Union party. . Their motives are
"selfish and they work for—the-overthrew of
~§ some man who stands so far above them
that he cannot be disposed of by any other
means. When it become necessary that
loyal men should band together for the pur‘pose of maintaining the nation, old parties
were or should have been torgotten. Upon
abroad platform of “Union at any cost,”
Douglas and Seward, Butler, Dickinson and
Brady, could write ard battle shoulder to
shoulder for the country, and any man who
has shown a clear record ‘since the appeal
to arms-by. the rebels, is entitled to. full -felJowship in the Union party. ‘We are led to
these remarks. by the war whichis now
waged against the State Librarian. Mr
Strafton fas since the war hegan been, we:
~ beéve, a true friend of the nation, or he
would have been removed by the Legislature. Hydenfeldt and McConnell were.
— ousted beeause they were not true. Every .
effort was made to get out-Stratton at the
same time, and if there was any foundation
‘ for the charges which are now being made
him, fhey would have beén used there, and
a loyal Legislature, such as we. had Iast
“" winter would have removed him. He is an
excellent officer, and to.bim alone is due the®
éredit of making the State library what it is.
Every man who is true f9 lis principles will
frown upon those meh whoattempt to accom,
plish their selfish purposes. by oa unfair .
means.
The Appeal truthfully rustle as follows { upon the read fromthe Back Bone House to
upon the effect of such a cour irse as is propoded by the enemies of Mr. St ratton:
“When the Union party comes to make
antecedency atest of worthiness of office,
or sincerity of faith, then there is an end to
the organization, Then the Union party .
repudiates Union principles, and the party
disbatided, and reverts back to its original
A lements. . ‘The Union party becomes a Reublican, or Douglas organization, aceord. }
. ing to numerical strength. If we look back
to-tte:,organization if will be found that we,
extend the right hand of fellowship to all,
aid “Union” was made the only test. “Mi.
Stratton accepted that invitation,-and has
acted fait sbfully with the organization. He
who chargeshim with dishonesty and hypoe_ risy’assumes a high responsibility, and must
elaim to‘know hisheart. He makes charges
of the most serious character, and such as
—po-manhas-the right to-do without the powér of omniscience, He not only assumes
high personal responsibilities, but he sets a.
precedent for the disruption of the party,”
and the overthrow and defeat of the prineiples for which he assumes to have so much
“reverence. He tells every Breckinridge
man inthe Union party thatthey are fit to
aerve in the ranks, but cannot be trusted
with a. commission. Every Union man of
_ Breckinridge antecedents, is informed that
tecedents are discarded at the polls, but
hen office is to be: distributed, antecedents
are tobe revived. Can Union men, se belying the principles of party, lay claim to
honesty i pasa coeat t they true to the
eause of the Union, or the spoils? This
rinciple has not prevailed withthe Federal .
“Women or the State Goverment; neitherin the army or civil service.
will, ifthe Union party is what it professes.
We hope that the Trustees of the State Li-,
brary will act wisely in this case sued Mr.
Stratton. '

THe Long Island Historical Society exhibits in its rooms an original copy of the
Boston Newstetter, printed by John Allen, in
Paulding Lane, and sold at the post office in
“
Cornhill. The sheet consists of one leaf, .
about ten by fourteen inches. It is dited
in the year 1710, or 64 years before the De‘\-elaration of Independence, but it is well.
inted and in good preseryation. This paperis glaimed to be the first one me
in sa Sac States.
THE Fer ry number of the California
Teacher is at hand. It contains a large
. Company's office for Sacramento, The
“gay and festive” young gentlemen who
have.“‘tipped the light fantastic” nightly. remarked “‘it is 'sad to part.” The establishment was about to close and the farewells
were said, when Marshal Venard, who had
an attachment for the fair ‘Ones, interposed .
an objection to their departure. “Yesterday
motning “Steve” went out to look for witnesses and these of course must be obtained
from among those who engaged in the festivities of the preceding night. They must
be men of respectability in order that the
testimony might have weight with the jury.
‘We took apeep at the names on the sub-.}
poena, but-we den’t intend to make them
‘piblic Suffice it to say. the jury thought
the-witnesses reliable. Yesterday-afternoon
the Marshalescorted the ladies from the
lock-up to the Justice's office. The case is,
one of considerable_interest and the Court .
rvom was crowded, They were arrested
for the violation of a State iaw against the
establishinent of Hurdy Gurdies or. dance
houses. They should have been prosecuted
long ago. It is an outrage that such viola=
tion of law is permitted to oceur nightly for
stop it. But it is said that “justice is blind”
and it might with truth be added her officers
are frequently inthe same fix. We areglad
that the. initiatory-has beentaken and‘ we
hope.in the future the laws will be strictly
enforeed. Such an institution as has exist¢din this town for the past five weeks is a‘]
nuisance and: under “the lww: it should be
‘abated. The hurdies” demanded separate .
trials, and inthe ease tried yesterday: the
jury, after being out a few minutes, returned with a verdict of guilty. The other cases
will be dispgsed of to-day. The one tried
yesterday was ordered to appear for sentence this morning.

THEME FOR WoNDER !—A few days ago,
Gary, Hainilten and-company, engaged in}
prospecting at Randolph Flat} says the Grass
Valley Union, took a netion to examine the
ruins of some of the old cabins in that vicinity, with the hope of finding some of the
treasure which tradition says was buried
somewhere in the neighborhood, in early
days by parties who met with sudden or violent deaths. Among others, they prospected
tha. “Fisher Cabin,” an old °49-er, in which
various parties of miners have successively
lived. They found no treasure, but under
the old decayed flooring, they found a part
of a human skull, in a good state of preservation, the skull-cap, or brain pan only, with
no other:--bonesof remains of the human
frame. How came it there? They also’
found an oaken chest or safe, about eighteen
inches in length, made of four-inch plank,
firmly banded and bolted with i iron, fastened
‘with a three-bolt lock. This chest had been
bursted in from the outside; so'that a man’s
hand could be inserted through the aperture.
The chest was evidently prepared. to hold
treasure, and was. of capacity sufficient. to
contain many thousand dollars. No one
now living in that vicinity has. any knowledge of the party who may have had this
safe, and it would seem, from all the circimstances, that the owner was not the party
who cut it open. When the sea gives up its
‘dead, then, too, willa thousand deeds of horror, committed among the hills of California
