Career. The San Francisco Daily Post T. B; McFarland’s career. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21. Advertising “. ” paper says: that the worst mining fraude prepequiet or confidence game class. Men come here with letters of introduc* tion. to respectable merchants or others; quietly show samples of ore which have been borrowed or stolen from.a good mine; work their way into a financial circle; whisper statements of fabulous richness; yain the confidence of afew an! induce others to fall in_by showing a list of ~ Yespectable names; gather in all the ready cash possible and foid_ their tents and steal away. The victims generally pocket their losses in_silence, being ashamed to speak about it. The pretence on the part of con. fidence operators is the scheme is tvo good and the association too conservative to seek newspaper publieity. The real fact ia, that the frau, if advertised, would be exposed. The man who steals around Boston try“fing to float a mining scheme on the quiet, is the one to be supicious of. who boldly challenges investigation.” —————______] APOSTATE SEARS. Ex Senator W. H. Seara goes to Nevada City to-day.—Sacramento Bee, Monday. — This'man Sears is one of the bitterest and most uncompromising howlers against the interests of Nevada and other miuing counties that ' the last Legislature. He ranks with Ohlyer, Sexey, Stone, and McUlatchy in point of being a virulent anti-min ifg.fanatic, but we do not credit him with the honesty of intentions that we do some of his loud-mouthed fellows, He used to be a miner in this county, and is eminently qualified from his knowledge of ‘its toPography to come here now as a spy on the. miners’ movements. If he proposes to combine with his other business hére the hunting up of votes, he will be able to. appreciate the truth of the old adage that oil and water will not mix.

Black was Judge uf the court, The examination of applicants for admission to practice had been so loosely conducted for some years, that Judgs Black became indignant, aud he made a rule that a committee of three should be appointed "hy the court to examine all applicants, the committee to be changed every yea. He had the committee sworn to discharge their duty faithfully, and he required them to make their-examinations in his presence, Young McFarland was the first applicant who same under the new rule. He wasexamined at nivht, in a hotelio Chambersburg, in Judge Black’s bedroom. The weather was warm and Judze Black lay upon his bed, his coat off. Judge Lewis, afterwards Supreme Judye; was visiting him. The applicant had no companion with him in his extremity, and betrayed yreat trepidation. The examination commenced. The committee would ask the applicanta question, and then Judge Black would put one to them. The young man answered the committee’s questions better than they did Judge Black’s. Soon he was ateade and the ation afforded Judges Black and Lewis much amnsement, and at its close the committee seemed to feel more relief than the student. The latter was given his license to practice, being then-twenty-one, STRIKES WI'H His ‘‘SHINGLE.”’ In the same year, without having put in an appvarance at the bar, he arrived in California by the overland journey, and went to mining in Nevada county. During the tirst few weekshe had extraordinary luck, making about $8,000; but thereafter he had no luck atall, although he ran his rocker for several years lovger, COMMENCES PRACTICK, law office in Nevada City. He found a bar comprising McConnell, Sargent, Meredith, Searls, Stewart, Ga ber, Thornton, Churchman, Buckuer, Hill and a score of others, ‘The new comer soon obtdined a yzood practice. He cried many important cases, prominent, among them being Sparks vs. Hess. The property affeted was Sparks’ bridge over the south Tork of the Yuba river, and the houses and lands aljicent. It was a very interesting case, to the bar, and the Supreme Court decision, with a full statement by John B. Harmon, is iv the fifteenth volume of the reports, The subject discussed was the lien which a vendor of real estate hal upon it for unpad purchase money, after he has exeuted a need for the property. J udge McFarland’s client. was successful in the District and Supreme Courts, Judges Field, Baldwin and Cope being unanimous in his favor, Gener al MeConnell and Judge Niles had the losing side. < JUDGE OF THE FOURTZENTH D'STRICT. -In 1861,° after a _2Ouparativel brief career at the baf, Judge McFarland was elected District Judge of the Fourteenth Judicial District, which then embraced Nevada* county aloné.s His sucvess. was'a surprise tonim, inasmuch as his oppone it. ablest man of the county, and then District Judge. Judge Searls had given very general satisfaction and was very popular. The constitutional amendments of 1863 cat off two-thirds of Judge McFarland’s term, but he was re-elected for a full term, the Democrats not putting a candidate in the field. The District had-been-enlarged and now.comprised Nevada and Placer counties. In 1869, at the close of his second term, he was agai nominated by his party, and the disirct was R-publican by 1,200 majority. The Democrats had nominated before. J. K Byrue could have bad their nomination but declined it. It Was given to Judge T. B. Reardan, who had returned from Virginia City, Nevada, and settled fn Nevada City, California, Desiring to extend his acquaintance, Judge Reardan accvpted the nomination from business motives; he hardly expected to be elected. 40 the fifteenth amendment, went to the wall in 1869, and the Democrats elected all their candidates for “District Jnages,His’ judicial life presents two striking. instances to show that Judges are subject, like other candidates for office, to. the , tyranny of political opinion.

A VALUABL® CLIENT, Judge McParland is the principal attorney employed by the Central Pacific Railroad Company in Sacramento, Having been engaged by the Supervigors of Placer county soon after his location at the capital to contest acase with that company, and, having been suceessful, he was surprised to find himself in a few weeks thereafter retained by the coupany in aninportant case “~p-nding in Stockton. Since then, for ten years steadily, he has been the regular railroad attorney in his section of the State. BEATS THE SUNDAY LAW. _ Judge McFarland was th. first, lawyer tu secure a unanimous jury against the Sunday law. He recently defended four cases at Sacramento under this law—two of saloon-keep ers, one acigar store proprietor, anid one a hotel-keeper. In various parts of the State since the last Supreme Court decision on this question, jaries had disagreed in cases where the fact of breaking the Sabbath had been cleary established; but in Judge McFarland’s cases the jury acquitted. PLITICAL Views, Er, Judge McFarland was ‘a Whig till the Republican party got under full sail and since then he has always been in the latter ship. He is astalwart of the Stalwarts. Inthe State Convention in 1880 he made an impromptu and veheinent speech eulogistic of Grant, and fora time it looked as if he would break the was the best speech he ever made.
