In conclusion, he congratulates the Legislature “upon restoration of the State to civil governJupGe Mo Faruanp.—The Auburn well known to ever P’Republi¢an in the ‘county in the following article in refers ence to McFarland : It is wholly and totally on the score of bitter, bigoted partizanship that a relentless warfare is being waged against McFarland, It is not charged, or if it be it is a malicious falsehood, that Judge McFarland has ever, in any degree, permitted his political proclivities to influence his judicial course or ever so slightly color his rulings or decisions from the bench. Asa Judge he has always exhibitedthe utmost impartiality between Democrat and Republican, and so invariably and ineven his most viralent political opponents-have been compelled toadmit and applaud the fact. Off the bench, however, and apart from his official duties, he has been a staunch, earnest ars dént, unswerving and tireless Repubs lican. In the darkest, drearest hour of the Nation’s peril, his tongue never faltered in giving utterance to the high, faith im the sare triumph of free” principles; No matter who quailed or how many fell by the wi¥side or skulked inthe high aia the Republicans of Placer and Nevada were never in a dire strait, with defeat sturing them in the face, that they could not rely upon McFarland to champiun their cause, unless his officiakduties forbade his doing so. if the cause was in danger, and it, was egpboned the emergency demanded his aid and assistance, a call never went up to: McFarland “help us or we sink-!” that he allowed any’ private or personal considerations to stand in the way of a‘prompt, a willing, a hearty compli~ ance, It is because. of these facts, and these alone, that saperhuman efforts ar’ being*made to deteat him, Speaking of the Republicans of the District, that, same paper says ; They have the votes and the strength to save him and secure to him a tris umphant election. He never faltered they rounded and seémingly doomed to ira retrievable disaster, he battled bravely in their behalf; his: counsels reassured the doubting, his clear, contident tones inspired and strengthened the weak and wavering. Shall we now forgetall, the brave and true service he has ren. dered us, and leave him to be borne dowa aod trampled under foot by those whom he fought and routed in our behalt? Béeause of his gallant, iaithtul and efficient championship of our cause, they hate and would crush him, Honor, gratitude and common decency tor bid that we should desert him now. THE APPROACHING Stats Exec10N8s,—The* State elections in Penneylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska take place on tho 12th ivstant 23d instant. Datlh g & Bel neider of § erra City are s quired to connect with the. Henness mat Donner Lake Wagon roads. Heretofore ge vi ae éngaged in building a wagon road from Sierra City to Milton on the Henness ‘Pass rodd. ‘The length of grade rePass road is five miles. The design of the road is to connect Sierra, City with. Truckee, via. the Henness Pass ‘and Sierra City has been compelled to get its supplies by way of Maryeville and Downieville a distance of eighty miles, or from Colfax via: Nevada City and Downieville, jalsoabout eighty~ miles. The.new.road will connect them with the railroad within a distance of thirtytwo miles ; giving a distance of fortys eight miles in favor of the new route. \ " Locuer’s Sram Pic létin' gays, company 8 > be fk corpoFated with a’ ofking capital “of $100,000 to build steam plows. It is claimed that this machine will plow and seed forty acres per day ; and will.do the work better than it. possibly. can be done with work horses. Contracts have already been tendered by the wheat growers of San Joaquin Val ley, suffidient.to kedp six of these steam plows running. The price -per acre ranges from $2 50 for light soil, to $3 for héavy and adobe soil ( *. Tat Kansas Compa: ince the removal of the machinery to the foot of the hill for the’ purpose of sinking upon the gravel channel, the shaft has been sunk to the depth of thirty feet, when the water became:so troublesome as to require a pump. One will be: put.up and work pyshed ahead. The’ channel for Downieville people to reach.the railroad, as the latter place is but six Messrs: Darling & Schneider have lidd the route surveyed, and are now engaged in constructing the road, and they intend to have a stage upon the road this Fall: The twelve Chinese gamblers that were arrested some time since, notice of which we.made, have been: bound. over to appéar before the Grand Jury. Wa Leesrys tliat'the Chinese have raised and paid to'somebody. $150 to let the case drop, and have. it done away with s0 they will not have to appear and j answer. Who received the money we could not learn,.but certainly, if the case does not properly come before the Grand Jury, and is not dealt with according to law, the matter should be investigated, and whoever has received this black mail-money should be prop-~ erly punished, if found out. A DirrerEence:—Judge Crockett, in his late card in the Bulletin, says: Taking no active part in the canvass, even in my own behalf, I have not deemed it incumvent on me ~to: interfere a8 a partisan in the contest between Judge Sawyer and General Wallace. ‘But, whenever the occasion demanded it, . have expressed my true opinion of . General Wallace, by saying that I knew ‘him to be a lawyer of great ability, and I esteemed him as an honorable and most estimable gentlevan. On the other hand, when my opinion of Judge Sawyer has been asked, [ have replied that I considered him an honést’ man ‘and laborious and able Judge. I could not, with-truth,lave-sgaid less of either. It will be noticed that Judge Crockett says General Wallace is an able lawyer, and Judge Sawyer “an honest man and laborious and able Judge” Mark the difference honest men. , : THE JUDICIAL QuESTION.—A corress pondent of the Truckee Tribune, speak~ ing of Judge McFarland, says: To the honesty, ability, fairness) and private habits und character of Judge McFarland, orto his induastry in the dispatch of official business, no objection has been or-can be fairly urged. He has been tried in the. position. and not been found wanting, In voting for him we vote for one who has an honor. able and unstained record behind him— a record which is at_:once the pledge and guarantee’ of fidelity and-of an honorable record in-the future. Why then should he not be supported in an office that really ought to be held during good behavior? And why, especially, should not every true Republican and every consistent Union man of what~ ever party rally to his support ? ation INTERESTING To CHEWERS.—The Gold Hill News sags. that a bar-keeper in that place collected the tin foil thrown away by the tobacco chewers’ rin-his place during the last three yeare, and has cast itall into a solid bri¢k’ The brick is eight inches, long, four inches wide and three in depth, weighs thirty-six pounds.and is, valued at $21° 60—or sixty cents per pound at Market price. It is coniposed of 2,088 wrappers. It would take one man nearly six years to chew the®:.tobacco contained in the wrappers which produced this brick. ee A LocaL paper at Decatur, Alabama, speaks of a “quiet, inoffending man’’ Of that plage, who was attacked by sixteen ‘masked men on ‘the night of the 13th September, and succeeded in’ ak men are their ‘desperate characters?” : I killing thirteen of them. If their quiet into tubes, all right side Lp,and finally titizens do these things, what eort of . subjected to the action of another nia. will probably be struck before the shaft is one hundred and. thirty feet deep.

Tue destruction of oysters in Rhode Island by the late gale was etiormous.

The wind and tide lifted and transported vast quantities of sand, distributing it over the beds and completely burying the oysters. ie It is said that the stone for the Uni~ ted States Mint, at San Francisco, is to be brought from Quincy, Massachu. setts. The alleged reason for this is in San Francisco at a cheaper rate than any suitable granite can be obtained in California, — Mn. “FIGHTS MIT SiGkL.”—The Republican Convention of New York State has nominated General Sigel for Secres tary of State, Sigel is every where pops ular with the Germans} and’ his name will add strength to the.party in New Dr. LIvINGsToNE, has. again, been. heard from, _ A missionary from Zanzi-. bar, states that letters have been rex ceived there from: Dr, Livingstone, dated February last.
