fisted" and support their candidates you
now have an opportunity. If you are
sincere in what you say Of the Wings,
show your consistency by supporting those
who come from the mountains. You now
have an opportunity of showing your re-
gard for the mining interest, which, as
you Justly say. ''is by far the most impor-
tant in the country" but which "has been
wholly overlooked"-by your faction, as
we'll as the Wings
The Editor of the Democrat, whoever
he is, for the late one whose name re-
Gently headed its columns has retired, in
Inmates that he knows our correspondent
"Jeffersonian Democrat" In this he is
mistaken, he is known only to ourself, is a
resident Of Michigan City precinct, and
well known for his veracity and integrity
as a man. lntimatiOns are also made that
"window scenes" will he pictured and a
mark made. Although having no great
pretentions as craftsman, zoe think
we can draw some "docum ents" from our
old port folio, which will present scene
and make two or three marks. Edito-
rally we have no disposition, but if this
kind of warfare is entered into, court
records will tell something's as well as
others. A word TO the wise, &c
We have good reports from various
sections Of the county. Daily the Brode-
rick faction are becoming less and less
throughout our borders. Knowing they
have no chance of success, they hold up
their aspirations for the mere purpose Of
placing the wings in power, which as a
matter of course, is very agreeable to the
latter. At several Of the appointments of
Gen'l Denver and the gentlemen travel
ing with him, one Of the Broderick can
ddatcs was Justify called out by promi
nent wings. A friend at our elbow re-
marks sit shows the affinity, and their
knowledge of old friends"
To the Public.
In the Placer Herald Of the 29th ult :,
the Editor says something about Sheriffs
and Collectors retaining the public money
for two or three months at time, thereby
preventing those holding county orders
from having them cashed Now I say, if
he charges me or my deputy collectors,
with thus retaining the public money, he
is base liar.
S. C. ASTIN.
August I, 1854.
In the last issue of the Placer Demo-
crat we find the above card.
On referring to the Revenue Law, Sec.
ia, we find and extract the following:
"The amount Of moneys collected by
the Sheriff shall, at least once in every
month during the year, be paid into the
County Treasury"
Upon due examination of the County
Treasurer's Books, we find that S. G.
Astn, through deputy, made payment
into the County Treasury on the LIST May,
1854, and the next payment made by the
same officer, was on the l1th July, 1854.
Intervening time between the payments
being t,co months and ten days.
FoREIGN Miners LIcENsE.-We have
been informed that licenses have been
seen among the Chinese on Bear river,
hearing no date and name. A friend of
ours has promised to collect up some and
send US, when we shall be able to judge if
they are of the genuine issue.
The question is asked by the Stockton
.argus, who attends to the duties Of Sec
retary Of State, while Gen. Denver is
canvassing the State? 10 which the State
Journal replies, quien sabe. We wonder
if the Journal quien sabies who acted as
Governor of the State last year while John
Bigler was canvassing for reelection to
the Gubernatorial chair.
BALL AT CHRISTIAN VALLEY.-Mr.
Rice, of the California House, will give a
Ball on the 2lst inst From the .prepara-
