Business and Personal Record.
We were honored this week by a call from a party
of ladies and gentlemen from Grass Valley—A. B.
Dibble and lady, F. Ryan and lady, Mrs. Hunt and
Mr. Riley—stopping at the Reis House Mr.
Fletcher has returned with put of his family—two
bright little boys. The ladies arc still at the Bay
O. B. Wright is below on merchandising business
...... In speaking of the new Hall across the way, we
have always called it the “Odd Fellows’ Hall,” whereas
it is the joint property of the Odd Fellows and Masons.
One of the latter wanted to know of us whether the
Masons had sold out ? Rut out your shingle, and then
we’ll know what to call it Please see Mr. Dow
ney’s advertisement of his Hotel. His is a large and
spacious house, with exceedingly nice rooms, and all
who stop there speak well of the house and its atten
tions Wm. floppier and Johnny Lewis have re
opened the “Boomerang," under Craycroft Block, and
Lave fitted it up in excellent style, where refreshing
drinks can always be had...... See Hopkins & Gra
ham's advertisement.
Dick Martin, Esq., informs us there is to be a grand
Barbecue at the Marysville Buttes, cn the 4lh of July—
to which he has invited us, promising all sorts of hos
pitalities. “Dick” is a generous fellow, and has al
ways been a good friend of ours.
Notice to Teamsters.— We are requested to notify
teamiters that there is a quantity of stale butter in
town that won’t wait for the wagon much longer.
Dr. Kibbe contemplates opening a Drug Store
shortly. He cannot fail of doing a good business.
About Piracy.— t lie reader is aware that there is
great deal of discussion about the alledged piracy. It
is simply a dodge of the law-and-order party to get the
United States Government to espouse their quarrel—
or more likely, to frighten the Committee to terms.
Speaking of the intermedling of the Supreme Bench,
the Sacramento Union remarks :
“Those rash and fool-hardy acts have dded fearfully
to the embarrassments which before surrounded the
relative positions ul the State authorities and the
Vigilance Committee. And still, not content, an at
tempt has been made to complicate the matter still
further, by involving the United States officers
in the controversy. To do this, an affidavit
was made against a member of the Vigilance
Committee for piracy, in seizing the arms shipped
from this city to San* Francisco, 1 hey were found
on board of a sloop in the bay. secreted under a few
thousand bricks. Withiqual legality and propriety
an affidavit might have bi-en made charging tliosu who
took by force the arms from the Law and Order party
at the California Exchange, with piracy against the
United States. The bay is just as much under the
•jurisdiction of the State as that celebrated Exchange.
The Constitution of the State, in defining its jounda
riea, after the east line strikes the 3oth degree of north
latitude says :
‘Thence running west and along said boundary line to
the Pacific Ocean, and extending therein three English
miles ; thence naming in a north-westerly direction and
following the direction of the Pacific coast to the 4-d
degree of north latitude.' ‘Also, all the islands, harbors
and hays along and adjacent to the Pacific coast.'
“We quote the above to show that there can be no
question about the bays of San Francisco, Napa, &c.,
being in the jurisdiction of the State of California, as
those very well knew who sued out the process.”
Senator Weller wrote a letter to the people of
California, in which he made some justification of the
killing of Keating by Herbert. The Bulletin answers :
“We tell this Senitorial apologist for the crime of a
Congressman that Californian’s heart beats with no re
sponse to the appeal he has made. We tell him that the
picture presented of the widow of that poor Irishman,
.bcariDgihur babe to the court-house and, in the frenzy of
ber grief, calling on it to look upon the murderer whose act
made il an orphan, makes many a heart here swell with
sympathy for that mother and that child, and indignation
against him who, with cruel hand, slew the one to whom
Loth looked for support. We tell him that his constitu
ents bow their heads with shame to recognize in such a
man as Herbert their Representative, and that there is a
universal resolve that he shall be the last gambler to
whom opportunity to disgrace California in the eyes of
the world will be given.”
How bold and nervous that language !
“The intelligence of the arrest of Durkee by the U.
S. authorities was received with a warm welcome by the
people of this city,” (Sacramento.)
A legitimate lie of the State Journal. All the other
papers in rebuttal.
Robert Burns. — He looked round at us. I thought
that he looked through me, and I lost the grip o’ the
’beginning o’ my speech, and for the life o’ me could I
sget it again that night. He apologized for being late.
He had been getting hi’, thing to us. but it had gone
from him. He had composed a song for the occasion,
Atid would sing it. He looked round on us and burst
into song, such as I never heard before or since. If
•ever a sang was sung it was that ane. Oh man, when
became to the last verse, where he says—
“A last request permit me here,
When yearly ye assemble a’,
One lound, 1 u>k it wi’ a tear,
To him, the Bard that’s far awa ”
That last sight of him will never leave my mind.—
He rose and burst into tears. They werena sham unes.
It was a queer sight to see sae mony men bust out like
bubbly boys an’ blutibor in spile o’ themsel. Soon
after the song he said he could not stay longer.—
W ishing us all well, he took his leave, as wc thought,
forever.-
