COUNTY FINANCES. Some persons seem 10
have al idea that the paper OF the county
should depreciate in view OF the proposed cree
ton Of county buildings. Il is not understood
By such that those buildings are to be paid for
entirely by special tax, and that not dol
lar Of the bonds issued for building purposes
can come in competition with the scrip issuce
for general ex penses,
There is one reason Why coCntF scrip should
be worth more nov than ever before The
debt Of the county is hoS but about 10000
less than ever before ard the Board IF Super
visors are cutti~g of every possible expenses
and strictly scrutiniziug all accounts brought
before them. At least one thousand dollars
were saved al The late session Of the Superyi.
sors, by cutting off legal charges
Scrip should now be worth in the market
ninety cents on the dollar, and then it would
pay better than any other investment Taxes
are fast pouring into tn treasury and the
foreign miners tex especially is paying large
revenue We predict the county will be out
of debt except tie liabilities upca account Of
the county buildings, in six months from this
date

NEcEss rY FOR X N.-We clip the fol-
loving from an Eastern exchange: "Thc
mpudent assumption of foreigners, and
their general, arrogant and dominecriu
bearing, bnt particularly at the polls,
erected the necessity for our existence. -
They united and organized, to cndeayor,
by pcaccablc and legal means, to put
limits upon immigration, and to restrict
the political power of those who might
come, as they had the natural and Con-
sttutional right to do They met in a
quiet and orderly manner, in public assem-
b!ies, to devise measures to carry out their
purposes; and in many instances, while
thus engaged, large mobs of armed ruffian
foreigners would rush in upon them, over
power them with numbers, knock them
down with bludgeons, stab them with
knives, make a general melee, and break
up their meetings Such l understand to
be the deep provocation which caused our
origin
The Nevada journal., 1855-06-22

EeA. 1t seems to be fashionable for the
Phalanx party to deelaim against secret
political associations, on the mere gi ound
of secrecy. If the measures proposed by
any party are beneficial in themselves, it
matters not what party machinery is used
to carry them out, il the means are non
est. Every Democrat knows that his own
party has been governed for years by Sc
crct caucuses. Every great party move,
every nomination, is first discussed by the
leaders in caucus, and thc ig'tobl?e vmgnS
arc excluded \ few wire pullcrs direct
the masses. In the American Order the
thing is not 50. The secrecy is not ex-
elusive of any member of the party, :or
all participate and counsel Instead Of a
confined secrecy, that secrecy is dropped
for the masses, and more general intclli-
gence Of party movements and aims is
circulated Corrupt politicians have found
this out, and Withdrawn from an order
they cannot control. Is not that your cx-
periencc, Shipley?

PLACER COUNTY CANAL CoMPANY--
We are gratifed to learn that our mining

which are now comparatively of no value
until these waters have been introduced
We learn from the Secretary of the Com

well known contractor and builder o!
the first Levee enclosing that city, is the
successful bidder and undertakes to com
plete the canal in - months from the 4tb

the faithful performance Of his contract IL
the most substantial manner within the
time specified
We are glad to see that the attention
of capitalists is finally being directed to
the real interests of the state, namely, its
boundless resources in the precious metal,
The development of which, strange as it
may appear to the uninitiated has but just
commenced When this Canal is compile
ted it will be one of the largest in Califor-
mia and will yield at the ordinary rates an
enormous annual revenue for long wears
to come to its propriotors
The directors Of this Company are en-
