VIGILANT.-The marshal and his
posse are vigilant nowadays in enforc-
ing the ordinances of the city. Their
activity in searching out cases of nom
compliance with the city laws is highly
commendable. They are fast driving
owners and occupants of buildings to
erect brick chimneys, have ladder in
readiness and barrel filed with water
The ordinance requiring these things is
a good one and should be enforced. We
have been remiss our elves, not think
ing the marshal or his men would visit
the suburbs. We missed our calcula-
tions, and give this as first rate notice
for official vigilance.

FOR SUPERVISORS.

The RETURNS-The returns come
in unprecedently slow. We are only
able to give the following corrected
from the Union. 1t will be seen that
Weller thus far has amajority over both
his competitors. 1nthe Southern coun-
ties he will probably add to his MAORI
ty. The letter of Stanly to the Settlers
had the effect to destroy all confidence
in him among land owners. The C2amor
PublicO, hauled down his name immedi-
ately on his Settler views being known
and denounced him as land pirate
The American party never fourished
among the native Californians and Bow
les vote is doubtless smallin the South
ern counties. 1t is expected that Bowie
will command votes sufficient in the
Northern counties to overb alance the
difference between his vote and Stanly's.
we think it extremely doubtful howev-

The VOTE OF THE. CCUNTY.-We
have not examined the tally lists of the
precincts to find the exact number of
votes cast in the county at the late
election, but the vote for Weller, Bowie
and Stanly combined is 1922. The
whole number of votes cast in the couDtvI
is not far from that number. The votd
oflast year was upwards of 1900, show
ing falling off from last year of more
than 1000 votes, or about twenty-five
per cent. Various causes conspired I'd
lessen the vote this year. 1t was not
an exciting contest. The Americans
and Republicans entered the political
field with no expectation of winning and
many did not come to the polls consid
ering his time lost. The Democrats,
thinking they had it al their own way
by large odds, did not bestir themselves,
and probably many of them did not
leave their work. There was a good
deal of double --oting last year, while
there was little or none this. Taking
all these causes together they account
for the low vote of the county at the
late election.

The WATER PRoPoslTIoN-TheD Dem
ocrat thinks, or rather says, our sugges-
tons of last week concerning the con-
tract to supply the town with water
were dictated by spirit of fault-fnding
That is our business. We intend to
find fault with any thing we do not deem
advantageous to the people. If we find
the City dads running loose with the
power they are invested with we are
going to say a word to the people about
it. We are liable to get wrong some
times in giving what appears to us at
the time true statement of things, but
in these days when men should be pre-
sumed guilty till proved to be honest
the people will be thankful if in the dis
charge of our duty as journalists, we do
occasionally jerk up an innocent crea-
ture. 1t will show watchfulness for
their rights and interests if nothing more.
1t is far better to fire away at any thing
suspicious in the bushes than lie snoo-
zing at your post. We commenced the
earliest and exhorted the latest for wa
ter. We have advocated it first last
and all the time. We hav'nt lain
spaychless crying for wather'' like our
cotemp, but have found voice without
waiting to see if the cry of fire was more
popular. We are decidedly in favor of
Throwing cold water" on the town,
rather than OIL any project which is cal
culated to bring us an abundance of the
element. However, we are one of a
great number of the residents of Nevada
who wish to see the thing done accord
ing to Gunter, and have put in our lip
for this purpose. We offered some sug-
gestions in our article of last week which
should not be overlooked. For instance,
if the town burns down from the negli-
gence of the water company, what for
felt is there for the delinquency terrible
in its consequences! Say, Mr.. Democrat,
the company cant get their S1,5OO-
that'll be heavy on us-and the compa-
ny too.

- A Squabble is going on among
late candidates for township officers in
Washington. The voters at Shan's
Store on Poor Mans Creek, precinct
of Eureka township, voted at the cleo
ton for the township officers of Wash
ington. If these votes are counted in
Washington, DIR. Wixom is elected JUS
tice, if in Eureka Mr.. Prescott is sub
stituted in his place
We learn that petition was presen-
ted to the Board of Supervisors some
time last winter praying to have Shan's
store placed in Washington township.
The Supervisors, however, did not heed
the petition, but on establishing the
boundaries of townships, the record of
former lines having been destroyed in
the fire, the line between Eureka and
Washington was run one mile from the
South Yuba and parallel with that
stream, leaving Shan's Store in Eureka.
The Board of Supervisors had an un-
doubted right to run the lines of town
ships as they might deem best. Mr..
Prescott may therefore be said to have
the inside track.

BOGUS TIcKETs.-There is a general
complaint this year about the preva-
lence of bogus tickets. Every now and
then we hear of somebody's favorite
candidate being slaughtered by these
internal machines. The question is Of
ten asked, where do these destructive
missives come from. Tho question is
easy of solution. There are three job
Offices in this county, either of which,
if not conducted by ninnyhammers,
would print any sort of ticket ordered
and paid for. 1t is the legitimate bus
mess of a job Office and no one has
right TO complain. The only rational
way of stopping it is to hire the use of
the job Office week Or two previous to
an election, or enter into a business az
rangement with the printers that no
mixed tickets shall be printed.

For the Journal.

Of the journal.
~ The Democrat denounces and
threatens those Democrats who refused
to vote the whole ticket at the last cleo
ton in this county. We are inclined
to believe that its curses like chickens
Will come home to roost. The more
that paper rails at the 'bolters'' for the
benefit of the 'bogus," the stronger will
be the force that will swell the ranks of
the American Democracy" next year
IN this county. The "bolters" in 1854
swept the State, and left the Tammanv
wing IN a miserable minority and if
the issue is pressed, will do so again.
From general indications we believe
there will be no difficulty another year
in uniting those opposed to the Tamma-
ny wing in the Democratic and other
parties, and sweeping the county, as it
was swept for Burton and Smith this
year. The "bolters" were men who
could not tie warped by party ties to
vote ter bad men-especially when a
sectional issue was so plainly visible.
Let the fight come, and see who finch
es! The persuasfons of the Democrat
before, and its threats after election, are
desPised alike by men who prefer right
to party, and duty to mere name.
