The WAY INDIANS ARE TREATED The
following extract from the San Diego Herdid
will convey some idea of the treatment to
which Indians are subjected in some parts
of the country. 1t is not surprising that
we have Indian wars and bloody massacres;
"A lot of greasers had bale the other
evening and as if that was not enough for
one night, they turned to and stoned poor
Indian, belonging to Mrs. Marron. till he
quietly lay down and died. This is consi-
dered fine sport, and as our magistrates
don't trouble themselves about such little
matters, the play will probably be repeated
ON the next occasion, with perhaps slight
variations "

ROAD To THE JUNCTION Those who are
petitioning for license to establish ferry at
the Junction, should circulate petition to
that feet, and give the rsidents on the east
side of te North Fork an opportunity to sign
it. Every resident Of that vicinity would do
so, and more than thousand signatures can
be obtained in Oroville and its vicinity
They can make a demonstration that the su-
peryisor. will not pass in silence, if those
Immediately interested will exert themselves
1t is important to Oroville to secure this
road. and it cannot be done by laying idle.
Let the people make an expression upon this
subject, and they will throw off the influence
that has hung like a nightmare ever the
county, prostrating her energies, and de-
vouring her resources. Circulate the docu-
ments and give 0roville the benefit of such
natural advantages as her location may pos
sess.
BY actual survey, the distance from hence
to Jack's Ranch is only nine miles, whilst AS
the road now runs, by Lynchburg and the
Miners Ranch, it is nearly double that dis
tance.

REVENUE OrrrcERs.-rhe Sacramento

Union is rather caustic on the revenue off,
GERS Of such Of the counties as have lately
settled with, or paid taxes into the State
Treasury. 1t says:
"That the sum of S116,S9o OS had been
paid into the State Treasury, to the eredi'
of the General Fund, in Controllers var
rants, by the Treasurers Of seven counties,
out of Si99 1926 40. which had been collected
to be credited to that fund.
After showing this fact, the Union makes
copious extracts from the Revenue law TO
show that the officers have no right to make
their payments in Controllers Warrants
unless the same are actually received from
the tax PAYERS. The law makes such tran
saction a misdemeanor, and imposes fine
not exceeding five thousand dollars, or I'M
prscnment in the county jail not exceeding
six months. From the manner IN which the
Union adheres to this subject, it evidently
believes that the county officers have been
speculating in Controllers Warrants-buy-
ing them u,.at discount for the purpose
of ppyinr them into the State Treasury.

Topics of the Day.

1OpACs OI tne Day.
The subject of road across the plains has
oeen before the public until it has become
hackneyed, and no sooner does some luckless
wight of an editor put forth an article upon
the subject,..than the columns of the press
proceed to announce the fact to their read.
ers Ill very laconic terms. 1t is understood,
how ever, that most of the articles which
have appeared upon this subject, have had
reference to what is termed the Central
Route, being the one for which the Legisla-
ture appropriated one hundred thousand
dollars, and upon which the State would be
obliged to spend four or five times tha,
amount before it could be made a good wag-
on road We shall not put forth an article
ON this route, but have thought that it might
not be inappropriate at the present time, to
say few words in favor OF route through
the northern portion Of the State. Now
when the Legislature is converting and when
the State officers are making their reports,
1t has occurred to us that the report Of the
surveyor general might have been rendered
very interesting to the inhabitants of the
northern portion Of the State if it con-
tained a report of survey OF the route
from the Sacramento Valley, up Deer Greek
to Indian Valley, and thence through Gene
sec Valley, and by Honey Lake to the east
ern boundery of the State.
,.b -. =. -
the inhabitants of Butte, Pumas, and other
northern counties, would furnish the people
of other portions of the State with vast
amount of interesting, important and yalu-
able information, concerning the advanta-
tages possessed by this neglected portion of
the State. 1t would be interesting to the
demonstrate the fact that an excellent wag-
on road could be constructed to the upper
meadows of the Humboldt River for less than
one half the sum lately appropriated by the
Legislature for the central route. Gentle
men of intelligence who have Travelled the
central route, the llenness route, and vari.
GUS OtneT routes leuulup lulO NulllOIHtd, uu-
hesitatingly pronounce in favor of the route
by Honey Lake Valley, rs being the short
est, the easiest grade, and abundantly sup
piled with grass and water. Indeed the
whole route from Honey Lake Valley to the
Sacramento is through vallies coarsed
by the purest waters from the mountains,
and supplied with the most luxuriant grass
Could all this be esta blshed by actual
survey. and embodied in a report of the Sur
yeyor General, those who only mention the
Great North " in ridicule, would be COM
PEELED to admit that they were not posted
upon her merits, and upon the natural adj
yantages which she possesses. And they can
be, if the proper authorities would move in
the matter. Now that the Wagon Road Bill
has been declared unconstitutional, and OF
course void, we would call the attention OF
the members of this section to this route, in
hopes that they may be able to set its advan-
tage- properly before the authorities Of the
State.

JoHN b. MCGEE.-Ihis gentleman, JOINT
Senator from Butte and Plumas, is set down
with the Democrats along with Ferguson
and Wcstmoreland During the canvass,
Gov Foote reported that McGee was a true
American. The Governors information on
this point, if we recollect Alright, was OBJ
tanned from the Senator himself Has the
success of the Democrats thu own him on the
wning side, or is he most wotuely belled:
[.NeUdda Journal.
We have no doubt but that Mr.. McGee
considers himself true American; but he
undoubtedly found it impossible to be "true
American and act with the Know Nothing
marty, as have thousands Of others in this
State. The Democracy of the State Will be
nleased TO see Mr.. McGee in the Democratic
caucus to assist il nominating Senators, anu
afterwards in Joint Convention to aid in
their election. That is the position in which
Mr. McGee will be found in the approaching
session. If we remember Alright, "durlng
the canvass" Gov Foote reported that FILL
more would carry Massachusetts, and va
rious other predictions that were not real
lied.
The leading organ of the remnant of the
Know Nothing order, at Sacramento, has
taken grounds against the election of Sena-
tors at the approaching session, and it is not
probable to suppose that it will carry any
great number of Senators or members OIL on
that tack. Mr. McGee voted to elect Sen
ators last year, and will do so now lfpo'
liticians 'wofully belle" him, it will not be
the first honorable Senator they have sought
to injurc. Having cut loose from the dead
carcase of Know Nothingsm, he is not affect
