Sax Francisco, March 7. A case of
what is sapposed to 1 bubonic plague,

in Ch:natown. The pattent, who is a

apprehended of the spread of the disease,
whatever it may prove to be.

We understand that tbe friends of E

While we do not know what ihe ulti
mate decision of Mr. Prrott may be in
regard to the matter, w a desire to express
; the opinion that th republican voters of
the county would look with favor on the
suggestion that ha make tbe rai tor
that office. We b?lieve that if he should
be nominated he would receive the
hearty and undivided support of the re
publicans of tbe couuty, and that his
biiity , integrity and peteonrl strength
