I The suggestions of Mirador', are not
very economical in regard to making delin-

Will he tell us how many officers it will require
to guard the road gang;-where he would
confne them when not at work; and how he
would raise money to pay the guard The
plan might be constitutional, yet the doctrine
is now obsolete, which favors imprisoning a
man for non-payment of tax, when he has
nothing to pay with. For as the law now is,
if delinquent has even q pick or shovel it
can be seized and sold.
The truth is here in nutshell. "Mrador"
is desirous of doing something to injure the
newly inducted officers of Amador county !;
and supposed this to be the most open point
of attack
The people of this county have entire con-
fidence in their Sheriff and his appontees;
