MrEDEREp's BAR. Auo. 80. 1855.

A meeting numbering considerably over
one hundred persons assembled here to-
night. D. K. Newell, Esq, addressed the
meeting in speech Of an hour and a half.
His illusions to the great American party
were received with much applause. He
was followed by Mr.. McCallum, candidate
for the State Senate, in a speech Of half an
hour. Mr. Oliver, candidate for the AS
sembly made few appropriate remarks
The candidates were well received, and had
the assurance that the most prominent men
of the Bar were energetically engaged in
the success of the American Party. Many
Democrats expressed themselves as desiring

ThA Democrat" Ars,,

After giving notice for. week previous
the last number of the PlacerviIle paper de-
votes something over column this paper
1t undertakes to prove that the representa-
tions about the recent County Convention
were true, because one Chamberlain had re-
presented that such nominations were made
by trading and wire working AS to Mr..
C.'s statement on the subject, we refer the
Democrat to the abundant testimony of his
neighbors as to the position he occupied be-
fore the convention, and also the fact that
the individual alluded to was not a'delegate
in that convention, as our neghbor errone-
Ously states The other witness is one c.
b. Patterson, and as to his credibility and
peculiar position before that convention
We also refer to the abundant testimony of
his neighbOrs at Diamond Springs. This
| is the whole evidence produced, which our
neighbor thinks is more reliable than that
of one who is nominee of that of one who
! is a nominee Of that convention, because OF
the interest of the latter. But it ought to
be remembered that the latter is corrobO-
rated by nearly the entire delegation, while
the witnesses relied on by our cotemporary
who are entirely uncorroborated, could not
be taken as sufficient to prove any assertion
even though there was no testimony on the
other side. But in this case it is abundant
We dismiss the subject. Our neighbor has
been deceived, and he ought to chastisC
those that have made him book so ridicu-
lOus.

Americans Beware
BOGUS TICKETS!!!

A Telegraphic despatch was
received on last Monday at this
office, exposing a gross fraud
which it is intended to perpe-
trate on Wednesday. 1t states
that a large number of bogus
tickets were being printed at
the Office of the Democrat at
Placerville. These tickets will
resemble the American ticket
in almost every respect, but
on close inspection it will be
found that the name of one or
more of the regular American
Candidates will be left out and
the names of the Phalanx Can
didates for the same offices sub
.stituted. BEWARE OF THEM
By this fraud it is admitted
that on a fair vote our ticket
must succeed, therefore fraud
is resorted to. Compare the
ticket with the ticket as pub
lished in the Placerville Amer
lean, Empire County Argus
Georgetown News and the
posters containing the Amerl
can nominations.

EXAMINE Your TICKETS, DEMOCRATS
We understand that the whole county is be-
ing flooded with spurious tickets, circulated
by and containing the names of Know n 9TH
ing nominees-some have not all the candi-
dates on them, while others again have the
names altered. Mountain Democrat
The above we believe to be without the
least shadow Of foundation whatever
Now, Mr.. Democrat, we would like to know
what you have been doing lately in the wey
of the spurious. and why did certain per-
son, "a particular friend Of yours we pre-
sume,) wish to ascertain in confidential
way, some two or three days since, from an
individual belonging to this Office, whether
or not we had all the American Tickets to
print, and if so, to let him know without
fail by return stage to your place Some
OF your Georgetown eaves-droppers, "got
the color" on US, did they and let you know,
en-? All we have to say about it is, that
the persons who have lately been prowling
around our Office, prying into that that does
not concern them, they are gentlemen. We
have you spotted, and will try and see that
your spurious American Tickets avail moth
ing on to-day.

MAINE BAR AND YANKEE BAR,
AuO 81 ISSS

About one hundred and fifty persons as
sembled at Yankee Bar this evening"
The miners from Maine Bar,which is about
a half mile from the former place, were
present. Hon. Messrs. Newell and Nc
Callum addressed the people. Mr. j. D.
White, candidate for the Assembly, also
made few remarks. The speeches were
well received, and the candidates had the
assurance that a large majority will be CIV
en- for the American!State and County tick
ct. Here there are but few foreign voters,
perhaps not over eight, and most of the
Americans will vote the ticket. Depend
upon near one hundred majority at this pre-
cinct. Yours. MAINE BAR.

V OLCANOyILLE, Sep.
Public Discussion.

DEAR News: Several of the American
and Phalanx' candidates met here last hight,
and addressed the people. Also D. T. Tai
madge of the Argus and Mr. j. G. Carpen-
ter of olcanoyille, took part in the discus
sion. About two hundred persons were
present. and the meeting continued until
about midnight. The debate was conduct
ed in the following order: Mr.. Lockwood,
Phalanx candidate for the Assembly, COM
menced the discussion. He was followed
by Mr. Talmadge on the American side of
the question; then came Il. HeweS another
of the Phalanx candidates for the Assem-
bly, He was followed by.J. G. McCallum,
the American nominee for State Senator
Then came j. G. Carpenter after whom
J. w. Oliver. Mr.. Carpenter then closed
the debate. During the discussion there
was every evidence that large majority Of
those present were either members of the
American party, or sympathised with that
party and are giving it their support. Ev-
cry truly American sentiment uttered by
the speakers was loudly appauded, while
Phalanxism was received with chilling in
difference. Judging from the expressions
given by the large assemblage, at least two
thirds were actively engaged in the support
of the American ticket. The meeting re-
suited in much good to the American cause,
and be assured that Big Bar township,
which has beon the only hope Of the
Phalanxers on this side of the South Fork,
will give the:whole American ticket q hand
some majority next Wednesday.

The Cause.

From every precinct in the county we
have most cheering accounts of the progress
of American principles. 1t is confidently
believed that the American ticket will not
only triumph, but by such majority as to
entitle the Empire County to be styled the
Banner County of the State.
At Diamond Springs, where in conse-
quence Of the dissolution of small Council
the Phalanxers imagined that the American
ticket would lose many votes, we have the
best assurance that the effect has been to
rouse up every true American to put on the
armor; and whereas heretofore the Ameri-
cans that were lukewarm and too indiffer-
ent, the recent action of those who have
acted traitorously to the cause has had the
most beneficial effect, and it is now under
stood that the American ticket will receive
one hundred more votes than before the
looping off the so-called Silver Lake Coun-
Gil. At FL Dorado Mud Springs the eff
feet has been similar, and We are assured
that the cause will triumph at that precinct
by tremendous majority. At Placerville
the Americans have it all their way. Those
candidates on the Phalanx ticket residing
about Placerville have already manifested
their belief that the American ticket is
bound to succeed. Many claim 5000 ma
ority in the comfy.

TIE CLIMATE CHANGING.-Ne that lived
here in so and 81 will soon forget the
clouds Of dust which poured down from the
hills every afternoon during the summer?-
To walk up Clay street or any of the par
allel streets was serious undertaking which
had to, be done by rule, the head being held
down and a handkerchief applied to the
eyes or mouth, or the handkerchief thrown
over the face like lady's veil. OH it was
terrible! But what a change. One scarce
ly suffers the slightest annoyance from the
dust nowadays. We may thank the
s2rinklers in part and in part the planked
streets. The fact is, that our CITY is a
much more endurable summer home than
people few years ago thought it possible
for it ever to become. Some will have it
that the climate is changing. 1t is ia
vorite notion that the Yankee population
is revolutionizing the climate. Pshaw!-

razee the Sierra Nevada mountains on the
east, and you may begin to talk of the eli

Judges OF EIectIon---TheIr Powers and
Duties.

Duties.
"T'hey have not q right to ask uhere or
in what court citizen was naturalized.-
No such question is even implied by the
statutes They must administer the oath
that is all. The ruling of the Supreme
Court is plain in the Gordon case, to the
effect that the naturalized citizen is not
even obliged to show his papers"
State Journal.
1t is likely the Judges of Election will
take the d,ctum of Ethe State Journal for
granted, and not read and think for them
selves. BY examining the law they will
find that it is made their duty to satisfy
themselves by any and all questions they
may see proper, of the qualification of the
person applying to vote, whose vote has
been challenged; and it is even made their
duty to challenge the vote Of any one they.
may suspect not duly qualified. after the
administration Of the oath, it is true they
are not permitted to examine witnesses
touching his want of qualification, but pre-
vious to that time they can put any ques-
tiOns they may see proper, and call for any
evidence they may see proper, which are
pertinent: The Judges are not necessarily
compelled to administer oath; it is left
entirely in their discretion to do so or not.
If by questions and witnesses, without ad-
ministering the oath, the Judges are salts
fed that the applicant is not qualified, it is
their duty to reject his vote without admin
istering the oath. What evidence is the
oath of an interested party? Just none at
all. 1t has become the practice at the polls
when parties are challenged, for them to
demand the administration of the oath. as
if they had a right to it. They have no
right to make such demand, and the Judges
by administering it foreclose themselves
from rejecting the vote. The proper course
for the Judges is, when a mans vote is
challenged, to question him as they may see
proper. and examine witnesses, if there are
any, touching his qualification; if from the
evidence they believe him not qualified, his
vote should be rejected; if the evidence pre-
ponderates in his favor, then as last resort
they should administer the OATH This is
the plain and evident meaning of the law

in the cease of Gordon" conflict with this

BOTTLE HILL, Sept. I'd, 1855.
Mr.. Str:-I have but few
words to say to you at this time. In re-
gard to mining, it is generally dull Some
tunnels are paying well, on the Divide be-
tween the North andsMiddIe Forks of the
American river. Judge Longley's tunnel
above Todds Valley, is paying we'll even
better than the Columbia on Jones Hill
The Big Spring, near the above named tun-
mel, is paying from $40 TO $50 per day to
the hand. A new claim has been opened
during the past week in Slug Gulch by c..
Degatt & Co., which bids fair TO pay them
for their work; as yet they have not washed
any dirt, but in stripping they have picked
up several slugs, one that weighed twenty
ounces and four dollars, and others that
count as many dollars; and this day the
gulch is claimed from end to end such is
the eagerneSs Of the miners. At Todds
Valley the work Of making water bitches is
the principal business of the day. White
& Brown have nearly completed their sec
ond ditch. The Bed Rock Co. have theirs
done and water will be furnished the miners
this winter at two bits an inch. Success
to the enterprise.
