i i The San Lorenzo Road. SPECIAL iTXJZDIOI-fiLI-. ELECTION -RETURNS Santa' Cruz County. Sanla Mttiz Saturday October 19th, 1867. FOU PRESIDF.XT IN 1868!" H.

TV SHERMAN, GRAND CONCERT! SANTA CRUZ CORNET BAND, Assisted by the German Mrs. Blako, The Next President. A great deal of speculation seems to be Indulged in, iv regard to the probable candidate for, the ofiice of President of the United States. The eovtitryia possessed of very many good and wotSjrmen and is likewise endowed with niea of aigr.al ability. We have scores of scarred Repnblican heroes that occupy no unimportant position.

io the minds of the people, and among the great, and. good, and deserving of the land the speculator has an extensive range for calculation. Who the nominee for this high trust by the Union Party may be, it is as impossible to conjecture at this time as it ever has been. The time has gone by when we are to take standard bearers from the obscure retreats of the Nation. Noblo deeds and honorable service must have their reward.

Genius, and a devotion to a patriotic cause when there were foes within and without, have each their claims and possess a power that it would do well to take iuto consideration. The condition of things is materially changed. Those who were once first are liable to be last. With the change of condition comes a revolution of ideas. New demands have sprung into being and the whole system upon which we have based estimates heretofore has gone to decay.

Merit is to have its reward and mankind arc to be rated at their real values. It will not be possible for him who has occupied a doubtful position to prove the one to be lifted to place and power. The men who have been tried and not found wanting are in the way. Very many charges will of course be preferred for political capital against the nominee whoever he may be, but the people are fast learning what estimate to place upon the declaration of the politician. The cry of this and that threatening issue, universal suffrage and Chinese supremacy, will lose weight and be found powerless for evil, when men are advanced whose positions are inown and commanded the admiration of the citizens.

The propriety of electing to the high ofiice of President a military commander uny be apparent and wisely conceived; but the nation has so many gifted sons, scarred in its service, that it is hard to calculate of the one to be seleeted. What objection could be raised to the bestowal of the Presidency upon Grant, Sherman or Sheridan time only could explain. The various alarms given to control the mass of the party followers, that make up the train of every campaign would be of little virtue in eitl er of the above cases, as every one is quite able to perceive. The ability to control such a vastly complicated machitio ns an army composed of a million or moro of volunteer troops, and accomplish the great results therewith as were necessary in the overthrow of the Slaveholder's is an indication of administrative power suited to every emergency and capable of overcoming the greatest of difficulties. The hold that the Nation have upon Gen.

Grant no combination of means can relax. The cry of corruption, vitiated tastes and all the evil practices known to the decalogue if preferred iu a body, would have about the same effect against his march across the continent in a Presidential campaign, as did the" cohorts of starved and whipped rebeldora in theirflght be fore him on the banks of the Appomatox. Sheridan, who brought down a swift and terrible retribution on the heads of the marauding murderous bands of the Shenandoah, handling his hundred thousand braves, has established his claim to those singular qualifications that should characterize every Governor of men. Has any man in American a belief that in either of the three. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, there are not combined the Patriotism, Statesmanship and administrative ability possessed and displayed by the present incumbent of the Presidential chair? In their hands the destiny of the Republic is safe.

With either as Dictator the peoplo would rest in quiet assurance that all is well. It i an error in the right direction, if an error at all, to consider theirs the Statesmanship strted to the peculiar demands cf the time. The fruits of victory would not be squandered through weak legislators. Treason would lose soaie of its degrees of allowance. Hud rewards would be meted out to deserving laborers.

Every branch industry and finance would become stimulated by the confidence inspired throrgh the commander at the helm and the advance of Republicanism would not be doubtful. We cannot, if we would, evade the obi gations under which we rest, and can calculate to a certainty upon the character and of the coining man for President of the Republic. Sage Brush. Colonel Forney's Letters from Europe. In reply to continued and urgent inquiries respecting the publication of the above named letters in a collective form, we inform our readers that they will be issued in a ban 'some 12mo volume of about five hundred pages, with portrait finely engraved on steel, and index, by T.

The correspondence gives the author's impressions of various countries which he visited during an European tour of several months, with observations upon society, politics, amusements, manufactures, educational and religious institutions in England, France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. The variety of these lettes may be judged from the fact that they were written from London, Liverpool, Oxford, Windsor, Halifax, Stratford-upon-Avon, Chester, Taris, Berne, Lake Leman, Baden-Baden, Heidelberg.

Wiesbaden, On the Rhine, Coblcntz, Brussels, Antwerp, and the Hague. A. J. Hinds, of the Pacific News Depot, will be pleased to receive orders. Chance of Proprietorship.

During the past two weeks Mr. Swain and E. A. Ssevens disposed of tl.eir interests in the Santa Cruz County Times, to parties whose names we did not learn, but believe, for the present, it is ostensibly the property of Matthew Kearney, one of its former publishers and proprietors, aud who has placed in its business management, Charles Osgood Cummings, who was some years ago one of the publishers of the Sentinel, and who has obtained celebrity in this aud the Atlantic States under the nom de plume of Prof. C.

Clcarquill. It is rumored on the streets that the Democrats are negotiating for its purchase, with the intention of making it the exponent of Democratic principles. Under the management of Prof. C. it will be replete with the intelligence of the day.

Lecture. The lecture which was delivered by the Rev. F. Buchard, S. J.

of San Francisco, at the Cathoiic Church of Santa Cruz on the evening of the ICth, was a complete success and it would have been better attended were it' not that the election came on the same day. The lecturer having applied his text to. the Catholic Church and having shown that it could apply to no other, gnve a history of its infancy; its conflicts with Judaism and subsequently with Paganism, and its triumph over both. The composition of the lecture must be admired by every rhetorician present, and the delivery was especially good. JT" Parties in want of any description of Furniture, Bedding or Upholstery, and Cabinet Work, will do well by calling at Wool fa auction store, Eldeu's old corner, Lower Plaza.

Mr. Woolf is selling at unprecedented low prices and is prepared to do all kinds of repairing nt short notice and most reasonable terms. Spring-beds and lounges made to order by a practical upholster. Our citizens are requested to call and examine stock and prices, and we would recommend thcui to do so before purchasing elsewhere. Business men of Watsonville inform us that limes have not, for years, been easier with farmers in that vicinity than at present, and in consequence thereof, business is good, and new stores have been opened, amomg which is that of N.

D. Sanborn. Tbe crops, early and late, are good, and selling at remunerative prices. Land during the past season rented for from five to six dollars per acre, variation from these figures depending on soil, location and conven-ieuce for marketing. Castroville.

The town of the above name is located in Monterey county, Salinas Valley, and has increased in business and population to a place of considerable importance. The Salinas Valley for the purposes of agriculture, as its soil is rich, porous, and convenient to a shipping-point, holds out rare inducements to immigrants. The valley is extensive and but sparsely settled, and owned by men who are desirous of selling or renting. Santa Crcs Coc.vtt, Cal. Oet.

5th. 1867. Whereas, the Supervisors of Santa Crux County have hcretoforo-laid eut a road, from a point in the powder mill rwjJ, near where the paper mill dam lateiy to a point near the School House on the Seyante ranch, and a petition of the same has been made and work thereon ha v-ing'been snspt nded'Tor the want of funds to complete the same, now, therefore, we tbe undersigned, being interested in the completion of said road, and its full completion and dedication to the public. In consideration of the foregoing, and the benefits we expect to derive from the completion of said road, we hereby severally promise to pay to F. A.

Every man who does business in this town, and every man who owns real estate here will be benefitted by the consumntion of this road. It will open the back country of this county. The San Lorenzo Valley et so sparsely settled on account of the present bad roads, is able to sustain a larger population than the entire population ot the county at the present time.

lis large bodies of timber, fine grazing and agricultural lands, and its many advantages will he appreciated when the proposed road is completed. We shall have more to spy of this in our next Lecture os Chile. On the- evening of Oct. 11th, a lecture was delivered at Temperance Hall by Charles F. Compertz on Chile, her history, resources, with sketches of the manners and characteristics of her inhabitants, to a moderately small but select audience, which was owing; probably, as to number, to improperly advertising.

If you wish a light to burn unseen, cover it with a small half-bushel. The speaker's delivery was easy, interesting, with neatly turned periods, and entirely free from assumed oratorical ability his language bore a pleasant simplicity with the sutjecta he described, and was worded with a suavity that amused while it instiucted, creating a lively interest and bespeaking the educated gentleman. Would that there had been more present. California Laurel. J.

D. Boyd, on Saturday last, shipped per the Favorite for New York, a number of unsaved logs and manufactured boards of California laurel, measuring feet, consigned ti Wells, Fargo for Fargo at Buffalo. There were sent, also, a quantity of veneers, and samples of wainscott-iug and mouldings ol the same wood, finished according to Boyd's method. This county abounds with laurel and as the demand increases for it, will be brought into requisition Grand Lodge or Masoss Election or Officers.

Cold. We learn that R. F. Peck-ham, formerly of this county and candidate for County Judge in Santa Clara county, was defeated at the recent election. Peckham was so busy helping his friends at the Gubernatorial election on this side of the mountains, in gathering their grapes, that he neglected his own vinevard.

Edilort I had the pleasure of rUlting Harmony Lodge I. O. G. in Santa Crui list Tuesday evening and was much aurpriaed and gratified to te the interest taken to the cause of Temperance in your town. Harmony Lodge is doing a good work in your p'aceand is in a vary properoni condition, initiating several persona avary evening.

I was very much pleased with the spirit unity and sociability that seems generally tspervads fba members of the Ladg and they all seem to be to their work. During recess tbey bad a very pi- akant social time interspersed with mnsic, singing, cbsrades, each member seeming to vie with each other in pleating. Tho hall was filled to ovxifl w.n?, not a vacant seat was to be saen in the room. Tlioy need a new hall which I uu derataud they contemplate building, to bo called "Good Templars' Hall." The San Jose Silk Factory. It will be seen by reference to the doings of the Industrial Immigration Association of San Francisco, that.

the silk factory has enlisted the Association in its interest, and that it has already began the work of practical relief by liberal nbscriptions to the stock of the factory. In all enterprises of this kind, in every effort to build up and encourage home industry and manufactures, Mr. Thomas Mooney, of San Francisco, exhibits a degree of enlightened forecast, and a just appreciation of results, and of the duties, as a man of wealth, he owes society, far in advance of any man on the Pacific Coast. In this respect, he is doing as much or more than his veiy distinguished countryman, Matthew Carey, did for American manufactures iu the early days of American manufacturing enterprise and industry in the Atlantic States. Eveiythiug that wc have seen from Mr.

Mooney has impressed ns with tho highest respect fr him. He is no niggard in his contributions or subscriptions when a public good is to be accomplished. His mind is large, accurate, and eminently utilitarian, and seems animated by a love of promoting all useful enterprise. Such a man deserves, and will acquire, the highest public reward. The San Jose Silk Factory, under such auspices, aided by the skill and enthusiasm of Messrs.

Newman and Prcvoit will soon a success and a profitable' San Jose J'alrivl. A Plfasast Scrtrise. OnThurslay evening of this week, at the residence of S. W. Foreman, of this town, a meeting of the friends vi the Rev, E.

A. was held, at which a prosecution of silver service was made to Mrs. Ilazen in token of the high esteem in which the reverend gentleman and his family are held by the many liicuds they have made anion? us, and especially by the members of the M. E. Church, which he has so faithfully serv for tlie past two years.

The presentation was madjr by Mrs. II islam in an appropriate speech, and proocrlv responded to by Mrs. Hazen. The Rev. Mr.

Ilazeu's life among us has endeared hint to the people of Santa Cruz, and especially to the membership of his Church, which during his ministrations has grown more than double! We believe it was the desire of his charge that he should be returned for another year. A few ol the fiicnds of Mrs. Hazen accompanied her on Friday to the residence ol Mrs. Scott, whence this morning she takes the stage to go to her husband at liloomlield, Sonoma county the scene of his labors the coming year. They have the hearty good ishes of this community.

The Special Judicial Election, held on Wednesday last, passed off ter quietly in SanU Crut. But little tote reel, comparalirely. wag taken in the iwues at stake, and the personal preferences shown for different candidates caused no effort in their behalf outside of a few casual remarks. The main issue was for County Judge the leading candidates being F. J.

JIc-Cann and Albert ilagan. both residents of Santa Cruz and practicing lawyers. Tbe contest was spirited and the result close Mr McCann leading his opponent nine votes, it ia believed, although the official returns may vary the figure slightly. During Thursday excitement ran high, as the returns came slowly in, among the friends of the two rival candidates-principals keeping in the background. First came Soquel, 10 majority for Hagan then WaU sonville, 19 majority for McCann; Seyante and Scott's Valley again placed Dagan ahead Cor rtlilos and Pescadero set him back and put Mc-Cmn on the highest perch finally returns from New Year Point came in, with 20 votes all for Ilagan, leaving his competitor in the minority.

Although Mr. Ilagari is a Democrat tid Mr. McCann was the Union nominee, the election has no political significance ultra Itaion tntn voted (or Iligah and radical Democrats for McCann. Some excitement was caused the eveuing previous to the election by a circular being placarded throughout the town urging I'nion men to stick to the ticket," and stating Hagan was the Democratic nominee and that both of the local papers had "indorsed'' him. This was signed by ten or a dozen citizens who either did not know what they were doing or wilfully misrepresented the case.

We re assured that Ilagan had no official indorsement of the Democratic Committee or party, and wc know that the editor of the Sentinel never indorsed him politically as a candidate, but merely gave him a preference over three other candidates in the field. We never in-tndod by voting for a man to indorse his po-lifical views or religious opinions no more than we would his financial transactions. The "card was ill-timed and wanting in facts, only stirring up political jealousies which should not pertain ut such a time or on such an occasion. The idea that ten or a dozen men, on the eve of an important judicial election, can assume the I oarer or privilege to tell a whole community or party how to vote is obsolete, and the sooner the signers of that card learn the fact the better for Republican institutions, and the cause of Ionian liberty. The only result of the "card vss to prevent a few Democrats voting for Cur-rey and Swett, and defeating one or two candidates for Justice of the Peace.

This was probably the real design of the writer, and if so, the literary oracle who pcuned it cheaply accomplished his purpose and ought to be satisfied. In another column the returns, so far as we received them, will be found. In Santa Cruz, E. Wellington and James Montgomery are elected Justices Soquel L.B.Clements and Mr. Dvi; Watsonville Messrs.

Devoe.and Next week we will give the full official returns. As a general result, Sprague, Swett and Uagan have been elected. The Sentinel has not advocated the election of Currey and Swett be-csine they belonged to the Union party, nor the election of Hagan because he is Democrat, but because of the candidates presented to the people they were, in our opinion, the fittest men for the respective positions. Henceforth, as heretofore, our paper shall be the sentinel of Liherty, advocating free speech and free tl.onght. We may have erred in the past; we may err in the future, but our sole ol ject is to bcrve the intersts of our readers and thereby enhance our own interests.

We shall be independent, and hereby declare our paper free from any and all party bonds and fetters. We have been and shall henceforth be for the Un ion. We regard fccessiou as a crime. We desire the early restoration of friendlv feelings throughout the country, and we shall oppose all parties and men who seek to prolong the deadly strife, which is even now devastating and ruining our country. The columns of tbe Sen-tinel are open to a free and honorable disctis-tion of the questions of the day, concerning the material weltare of our county.

State and Nation. One of the severest political contests i ver fought on this continent will take place at the next Presidential election, in whieh we will stnd with the people in favor of freedom and Constitutional liberty, one and inseparable. Our choice for President, is Sherman, and we ill keep his name at the mast-head un'ets the people, through the National Republican Convention, may determine otherwise. Grant will not, in our opinion, accept the nomination, and consider Win. T.

Sherman, of Ohio, as the most available and competent candidate now bt-fore the people. Good Templars Fist Day. The Independent Order of Good Templars of Santa Cruz and vi-c'njty, observed last Thursday, the 17th as a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, in accordance with the request of the R. W.
