THE PACIFIC
LOAN G SEUIRlI bllA.

FENTHE FREQUENT applications made to
the undersigned by persons of moderate
means, to put out upon securities at interest,
sums too small to make it an object to the
borrowar, have induced them to adopt n plan
by which money can in any sum bring to the
possessor a rate of interest equal to that
claimed by larger Capitalists, and secured in
the most convenient and ample manner. 1t is
by the combination of large sums in one Loan,
and secured by one security, so that each de-
positor-no matter how small his amount
may receive the income to which his money is
entitled, and that. too, in such as will combine
in his possession both the evedence of money
loaned and the use of money deposited.
Money, in case or gold dust, will be received
on Deposit in sums of ten dollars and upwards,
for which certificates Of deposit will be issued
bearing date the first or fifteenth of the month
payable on demand, or at specified times, at
the option Of the depositors. If payable on
demand, they will be without interest, unless
the money remain on deposit one month, in
which case they will draw interest of one per
cent per month, but no interest for fractional
parts of a month. If deposited for specified
times, certificates will be issued bearing one
and a half per cent. per month interest for
such time Interest will cease at maturity ;
so that if depositors desire to continue their
depostes after their certifcatesfall due. they
must be presented for payment and renewal; ;
otherwise interest ceases.
The advantages not hitherto supplied to de-
postiors, and which we present by this institu-
tion, are:
SECURITY, con VEATENCE IND
SIMPLICITY
The money deposited is used only in loans
guaranteed by US, aud in all cases amply Sc
cured by mortgages, state, county and city
stocks. merchandise and other safe colaterals,
taken in the name of f"NiARRI0TT & WHEEL
Err, Trustees for depositors with Pacific Loan
and Secretary Be nk," which fact, added to an
experience of FIVE years in this city, in all
upon real estate or the investigation of titles
to property, will present this as the best saw
ings' bank to the frugal and industrious.
A register is kept at all times open to de-
positors for inspection, in which appear their
names, the n1Gber of certificates of deposit
issued, and the securities upon which the
money deposited has been placed
Our certificates are issued in the sum of
ten dollars, and one hundred dollars, and in
such other convenient amounts as NAV become
at all times available so the holder and in this
convenient shape become at all times available

E6~ We notice communication in the
State Journal of last week, stating that the
recent American County Convention at
Coloma, had refused to adopt the State
Platform of the party and that the Conven-
tion would break up in row.
What is the truth about it? The Con-
vention was the most harmonious ever held
in the County, and adopted the State Plat
form without dissenting voice.
There is a general disposition to remove
all secrecy from the American party-but
some say that it is their greatest source of
amusement to read the laughably absurd
accounts of its proceedings as given in the
State Journal and some other papers.

EDITOR NEws-Str: Our ears often catch
the sound of fattery from those who visit us
with praises like these-"What a pretty
place" "The most pleasant and well ar
ranged town in the mountains" &C., &C.,
which though true, should not slacken our
efforts to keep in advance of others, for
while it is true that we have overcome many
obstacles and made town which has risen
Phenix-like from the ashes, amidst beauti-
full scenery, with broad streets and comfort
able houses, much more remains to be done
to merit a continuance of the praises SO
lavishly bestowed upon US.
| desire in this, to point out a few very
necessary improvements and at some future
time may hint at others: First-I call at
tention to the old and rusty ragged awnings.
Secondly-The unpainted fronts-I might
add unfinished fronts Thirdly-The mar
row and ungraded side walks, unsafe for any
pedestrian except of steady nerves; and
Fourth hly-The manner and condition of the
side walks, blockaded with barrels, boxes
and other traps, through which one has to
squeeze, or turn to the street in order to
pass from place to place.

THEATR1cA..-The Dramatic Company
composed of Mrs. G. N. SINCLAIR, late Mrs.
Edwin Forrest, Mrs. NJ. VOORHEES,, Miss
Howard, Mr.. RYERs and Mr.. SEDLEY, gave
two performances here, on the evenings of
last Friday and Saturday. They had very
good houses on both evenings. Mrs. SIN
cLA1R's reputation as an actress is unsur-
passed by any in the State, and was highly
appreciated. Mrs. VOORHEES, singing took
her audience by surprise, many declaring
they had heard nothing to be compared to
it. 1t is principally in social life, we pre-
sumo, that Mrs. SINCLAIR has made such a
host of friends, for although accomplished
on the stage, she is equally or perhaps more
so in social life.

B6g~ The Placerville Democrat of last
Saturday, has raised the Phalanx Demo
cratic State Ticket, and also what is repre-
sented to be the County Ticket of the same
party. 1t was thought by many that our
neighbor would hold out faithful to the end;
not only on account of the contempt which
the Great Bigler organ, the State Journal,
expressed with reference to the country
Democratic papers generally which refused
to raise the ticket-but also on account OF
some paragraphs which have heretofore ap-
peared in the Democrat upon.the subject
1t then turned from the lectures of the
Journal with "loathing and contempt but
now it not only raises the ticket, but nearly
every column of the last paper is devoted
either to eulogizing the same, or in denoun-
cling the opposition.
But certainly no honest Phalanxer, how
ever desirous he may have been to see our
neighbor support the ticket, expected or de-
sired that such reckless charges should be
made as contained in the first number which
raised the ticket, especially as the same gen.
tleman still edits the paper. The last num-
ber contains many charges entirely ground
less. In fact we may safely say, with ref
erence to every statement made about the
late County Convention, that it is wholly
untrue. These things may have been so
represented by outsiders; but to those know
ing the facts they are ridiculously absurd.
For instance, it is said, that each successive
nomination was received with chilling in
difference, while, in truth, every nomination
was received with much applause and de-
clared- unanimous without one dissenting
voice. 1t is also charged that trading
ever, is merely stated as an inference-tha
paper not thinking it probable that the per-
sons nominated would have been selected
otherwise. This again is erroneous, we
speak from experience and fearleSsly say
that the nominations were not made upon
any trade or understanding whatever-and
it is very unjust to draw such conclusions
from such narrow premises. In fact, all the
statements made upon the subject of that
Convention by our cotemporary, must be a
source of amusement to those who know the
facts.
All that is said in favor of those candi-
dates who were not nominated, we fully en-
dorse, But ii is confidently believed, that
had the best of them been nominated-as-
suming that they were the best men in the
county-the opposition would have been
equally strong and uncourteous

The ProhibitOry Liquor Law.


We publish on the outside of this mum.
Der the response on this subject, of num-
Der of the American candidates for the
State Offices The letter of the American
nominee for Governor, we think should be
entirely satisfactory to the friends of tenn
perance throughout the State; while the
opponents to a Prohibitory Liquor Law
cannot complain Of the position taken by
Mr.. JOHNSON. That letter recognizes the
great republican principle that the MAORI
ty should govern, and therefore should a
majority Of the votes be in favor of a pro-
hibitory law, he, if elected, will give his in
fuence in favor Of and sanction law to
carry out the will of the people.
1t will be seen by the proceedings of the
late County Convention, that their Ticket
is to have the words "Prohibitory Liquor
Law" printed for the convenience of the
voter, leaving blank for the voter to write
"Yes" or mo"
This will give no advantage to either side
for those tickets in which the blank is moi
filled will be counted neither for nor against
while it gives to every voter, whatever may
be his views, an opportunity to express him
self on this very important question.

this place on last Saturday evening was suf-
fcient of itself to indicate such q result.
Great Mass Meeting

About eight hundred persons assembled
at the liberty pole, in this place, last Satur-
day evening to hear Gov. B1GLER, Col.
JOHNSON, D. S. TERRY ESQ.,, and Col. IA
BRIsKY. We propose to only give few in
cidents of this large meeting as a matter of
news, to show the political feeling about
Georgetown. Gov. BIGLER first ascended
the platform and being introduced by Mr..
LIvERMoRE, who was chairman of the meet
ing, one individual said, "Hurrah for BIG
LER !'' The Governor made speech Of an
hour and quarter in length. We presume
most of the people of FL Dorado County
have heard it by this time, so we will not
report it. On concluding three cheers were
proposed for the Governor. The first was
quite faint, the second was what is elegant
ly called "6zzle," and the third was given
by one individual who did not get further
than the first syllable of"Hurrah."
Col. JOHNSON, the candidate on the Amer
ican ticket was then introduced, who &C
cording to arrangement spoke an hour and
half. We did not hear any one propose
three cheers, bat when he ascended the plat
form they were given in such manner as to
make the welkin ring. During the speech
of the Gov, we did not hear single cheer;
during the speech of his opponent he was
frequently interrupted by vociferous cheer
ing. At the conclusion of Col. JoHNsoN's
speech, again the cheering was loud and
long. Gov. B1GLEK replied, by arrange
ment, in speech of fifteen minutes, which
was begun and ended in the most profound
silence of the audience. This is not men
toned as an evidence of any superiority in
point of oratory on the part of Col. JOHN
son, but as an evidence of the political feel
ing in this locality.
Col. ZABR1sKY made long speech, and
for him it was good, much better than
usual. But he not being candidate, the
people preferred hearing those who were. 1t
is said, however, though he is not candi-
date now, there is no telling what he may
come to" hereafter
D. S. TERRY Esq, one of the American
nominees for Judges of the Supreme Court,
was next introduced. His effort was very
well received, and greeted with much ap-
plause. There was abundant evidence that
at least two thirds of the meeting were
identified with the great American move
ment, which has been victorious in nearly
every State of the Union, and is to be vic
torious in California in September next
At late hour the meeting adjourned.
We understood at Johntown, that the
Governor had made an appointment for that
place last night. The Governor says that
he found things so different in Ell Dorado
County from what he had anticipated, that
he purposes making just twice as many
speeches as originally intended

adopted as a whole amid much applause,
and without dissenting voice.
