ED. JOURNAL: 1t is seldom that putt
licly notice newspaper articles especial
ly articles written by anonymous per-
sons, who, f,r,purpos,s IS best kn wn to
themselves, thus attack person under
cover, when by an honorable and manly
course every fact necessary for the pub
lie good can be elicited without an in
sinuation of dishonesty against the col
lectors Of Public Revenue My official
Books have ever been open to the exam
ina tion Of the public, and if tho writer
who signs himself Grass Valley" or any
citizen Of Nevada County will call on
me at my Office | will take pleasure in
showing all that has been transacted in
the County Treasurer's Office since the
organization of the County. The writer
"Grass Valley asks first, that the Coun-
ty Treasurer give full and complete
list of taxes by him collected, of whom,
and their location, &c. IL 'sGrass VAL
ley'' has taken as much time to exam
inc the statutes as he has to make him
self conspicuous as a newspaper scrib er
he would have known better than to ask
such question, as the Sheriff, and not
the Treasurer is the collector of taxes
Secondly, Grass Valley asks for de.
tailed copy from the census agent of all
tax payers, their residences SC. In an
swer thereto will refer 10 the county
assessors returns which can be examined
at the County Clerks Office by any enc
so desiring In answer to the third
query of Grass Valley will say, that
on the first Monday Of next month, the
annual settlement between the Sheriff,
County Treasurer and County Clerk will
be made, and then either of the above
named officers will be happy to give full
information respecting foreigD miners
licenses, SO The full amount Of all
taxes collected, of all monies paid into
the County Treasury, &c will be gwen
in my annual report in May next, and
if all the facts connected with the Coun-
ty Treasury will satisfy Grass Valley,
then hope to give full satisfaction
Respecting the amount paid into the
State Treasury by Nevada and Placer
Counties respectively, have but 10 say
that all monies collected in this county
prior to Dec 29th 1852 was Thea paid
over to the State Treasurer A much
larger sum would undoubte lly have been
ooiiscted, if the Sheriff of this Comfy
had been allowed liberal per cent or
collecting the foreigG minor tax, %c.
rs was allowed the SherifI of i'lacer
County, by the Court Of Sessions OF t'@ia t
County. With these explanations lshall
rest until my annual report is made to
the Court of Sessions and to the citz MS
of this County, to whom I hold myself
amendable for all official acts

A numerous body of magistrates was as.
sembled at the Capital at our command, for
the purpose Of revising the penal code for
merly in force under the late dynasty of
Ming, and of digesting the same into new
code, by the exclusion of such parts as were
exceptionable, and the introduction of others
which were likely to contribute to the attain
ment of justice, and the general perfection
Of the work. The result of their labors hav.
ing been submitted to our examination wo
maturely weighed and considered the vari-
Gus matters it contained and then Instructed
a select number of our great officers OF state,
carefully to revise the whole, for the purpose
Of making such alterations and emendations
as might still be found requisite. Where
fore, it being now published, let it be your
great care, officers, and magistrates of the
interior and exterior departments Of our em-
pire, diligently TO observe the same, and 10
forbear in future to give any decision or to
pass any sentence according to your private
sentiments, or upon your unsupported au-
thority. Thus shall the magistrates and peo-
pie look up with awe and submission to tho
justice of these institutions, as they find
themselves respectively concerned in them.
The transgressor will not fail to suffer
strict expiation Of his crimes, and will be
the instrument Of deterring others from sim
liar misconduct; and, finnlly, both officers
and people will be equally secured for end
less generations in the enjoyment OF the
happy effects of the great and noble virtues
of our illustrious progenitors." QNU
Their code oflaws is arranged under seven
heads, viz: general, civil, fiscal, ritual, mill

Unfortunately, the execution of the laws
of the empire is committed to men whose
ruling passion is cupidty, and whose main
aim is self-aggrandizement, and hence, the
people are oppressed by those who should
be their guardians and projectors. s.eea
