Sacramento Charter Election

The municipal election in Sacramento last
Monday resulted in the triumph of the dem
ocratic ticket throughout. The new tangled
Peoples party received a severe blow, one
that it will take some time to recover from.
1t teaches democrats this important lesson.
that if they arc dissatisfied with the admin
straton of affairs, the most practical mode
of eradicating the supposed evils, is to re-
form their own party instead of attempting
the work through the medium of new organ
izations.
The following are the majorities reported
by the Age:
Dyer's (Mayor,l over both Peoples and
Republican candidates is 6ls; Dunlap, Re
corder, $50; Lansing, Marshall, 297; Sullivan,
Treasurer, 29l; Uousman, Collector 6lS;
Moore, City Attorney, ION both Dem. and
Peoples tickets,) 1868.

The Overland Wagon.

The Sacramento UuiOn recommends that
convention of delegates from the counties of FL
Dorado, Placer, Amador, Sutter, Sacramento
Yolo. Sonoma, Napa and also Solano be held
some time during the spring, for the purpose of
devising the ways and means for improving the
Wagon Road from the Sacramento Valley to that
of Carson" and the .Mountain Democrat en-
dorses the recommendation and calls upon the
Herald among other papers for an expression Of
opinion.
In our opinion the mountain counties referred
to. have antagonistic interests. to a certain ex-
tent, and that as the now stands convention
would not settle anything. 1t makes but little
difference to the valley counties whether the i'm
migrant finds his way to them through either of
the counties named. If Placer desires the west
ern terminus of the road to pass through her ter
ritory, her citizens should set 20 work and bv
careful examination of The route by surveys de-
monsrate the fact that it is the shortest and best
way of reaching the Sacramento valley When
this is done, we may then present our claim for
assistance to the people Of the valleys contiguous
to us, and doubtless they will assist in the build
ing of the road, and once good road is estab-
'oncu 'he ci' lah'S ahu stage company VIII ma
it to their interest to travel it. We don't think
it likely that the people of Ell Dorado and ANA
dor would contribute to an object of this kind
for the benefit of those counties that surround
them. When it has been settled, which is the
most practicable route through the mountains.
then we are in favor of convention of the par
ties interested in the move. This is the way, Mr..
Democrat, the proposition strikes our under
standing.

Our County Hospital.

We opened this subject last week and referred
vaguely to the reforms which we thought should
be adopted in the system. In continuation of the
subject and that we might be more specific, we
have thought proper to present two plans, under
the operations of which, we think the county
would be much the gamer financially.
We, heretofore contended and believe the fact
to be, that the prisoners, who are healthy, stout
men for the most part, could be boarded, if the
contract was put up to the lowest responsible
bidder, for from five to seven dollars per week,
each. This fact then being true of persons in
good health, we take it for granted that the hos
pital patients, can be cared for by giving out the
contract in the same way for five dollars per
week. By examining the report of the present
contractors, we find that for the nine months
ending on the I'd of February, 1857 the average
number of patients has been sixteen per week.
This number of patients at five dollars per week
each, would be 4,l6O per year.
We presume that a good commodious house
suitable in location and other respects could be
obtained at an expense of 500 per month. We
observe that the Board of Supervisors of Sacra-
mento pay the physician at the rate of 50 400p per
year, but as that is position that should be be-
slowed upon the very best professional man that
can be obtained, and ought not to be auctioned
off to the lowest bidder, as so much tobacco or
such an amount of manual labor, we will suppose
that the county pay salary of say $4,000 per
year-or at that rate. We have now enumerated
all that appears to us as essentials except med-
cnes, and we will say $500 for that and other
opti Accu mil hiatt oIo,, ,1of ;e
made upon a reasonable basis we find that we
have conducted the Hospital for one year at the
rate of $780, little over one-half what it is
costing us under the existing contract This is
one plan that has occurred to u.s. the other
one is for the county to build hospital, employ
its own steward and nurses, and place the care of
the concern under the vigilant and careful eye of
some physician having reputation and the con-
fdence of the Board of Supervisors. 1t is believ-
ed that good location in the suburbs of the town
can be obtained, and suitable house erected
and furnished for $500. The actual cost of the
board and care of the sick can be reckoned at not
exceeding four dollars each per week. reducing
that branch of the expense, taking the previous
hypothesis, to the sum of S3,32S. Add to this
physicians salary $500, and the $500 for medi-
cines and contingencies, and you have total of
S6,S2S per year. In this way the county will
have discharged the obligations of society to
the sick. as fully by our first proposition, and
at the expiration of two years have the house and
grounds with the improvements into the bargain
We think that strict adherence to economy
would commend the building of the Hospital but
whether under our existing debt, it is in fact
policy, is subject for dcliberation by the Board
of Supervsors-if indeed they should conclude
to act upon any of our suggestions.
