Correspondence Of the Democrat.

EDITORS MOUNTAIN DEMoCRAT-GENTS :;
Complaint, and very justly so, and of
significant character we think, is made by
our traders of the treatment they have
lately received from our District Attorney
and his tacile agents, in tho manner of
prosecuting innocent parties for few
days delay in procuring licenses, We
are at the mercy Of men who are Singu-
larly ambitious to make money, no matter
how. 1t has cost one of our business men,
for negligence Of only day or two, enc
hwndred dollars, when his license was
only about thirty-seven dollars, and others
in proportion for only the delay Of day,
one Of whom was away on business. The
agents of the District Attorney, like a
hawk after his prey, pOunce upon every
man they think has neglected to obtain his
license. They seem to be ever on the
alert to take advantage Of the unSuSpect
ing. TO an outsider it may look right
that each person should look out for him
self, which is the law, and the first law of
nature, but how often are persons apt to
neglect that which is vitality important to
themselves from certain causes. NoW- the
custom under the old officers was to ), nd
round man to collect the hcru> ;. and
the men who were around last assured
our traders that they need ret tiNwbic
themselves about gfttihg licenses aS thc

matter or feel perfectly safe. Ii is true

We presume that the late Auditor, in
whose honesty we have the utmost conf
dcncc and whose name has not even been
limited at in connection with Reeds deial-
cation, heretofore, will Cheeriully give
enquirer" the desired information. Any
statement he may deem proper to make
we will publish with pleasure. The inno-
cent should not, must not be held rcspon.
siblc for the acts of the guilty. Tho late
Auditor may be able to throw some light
on the tranSaction"-may furnish some
important information. lie has an oppor-
tunity to clear himself from unjust impu-
tatonS, and he will doubtless avail HIM
self of it.
The "-Auditor's Office" is, in great
measure, check on the TrCasurerS,
and the Auditor ought to know and when
the Treasurer is honest he does know
show much the Treasurer receives and
how much he pays OUT" but diShon-
est Treasurer may easily deceive a con-
iiding Auditor; and we venture to assert
without consulting Mr.. NOtcwarc, that
I've had implicit confidence in Reeds hon
csty and would never have dreamed Of
questioning his veracity. lilo may have
been little neglgcnt-we are satisfied he
was totally ignorant of Reeds dctalcntion
previous to its becoming public, How
ever, it is not for us to defend him; he
mast make his own statement, and that
he will make satisfactory one we do not
entertain doubt We promise in al.
vance that Mr.. NOtcware, late Auditor,
will answer the questions of Enquirer"

JAY HAWK, Nov. "a, 1857.
GENTS OF TIE DEMOCRAT AS you have
always taken hearty interest in the well
fare of Ell Dorado county, of every pOr-
tion of it, have thought it not inappro-
pirate to address you on q subject that
deeply concerns the people, that has
caused no little Indignation, that is crca-
ting bitter feeling, that is regarded as
outrageous, and that should be arrested at
once. allude to the prosecution of ira
ders, by the deputies of our District At
tOrney, for failing to procure licenses.
What are the facts? A deputy rides up
to store and inquiries if the proprietor
is in and if he has license to do business.
He answers yes or no, as the case may be !;
if yes, the deputy haughtily demands to
see and examine it; if no, he is arrested
for trading without license. Now this
may be all legal, but it is not exactly the
way for public officers to conduct them
selves. We expect little afiability in an
official, if not forbearance. Heretofore
our traders have had no difficulty with
regard to their licenses. Either collcc-
tor came round and furnished them what
they needed, or they waited until busi-
ness called them to the seat of justice,
when they procured their licenses from
the Treasurer, and if they were week
or so behind the time the pardonablc neg
ligence was overlooked. But it is not SO
now. Idoubt, sirs, if the trainers Of the
law intended that it should he used to
peTsecWte the honest but 0nsuSpecting
business man Of the mines.
Again, Messrs. Editors, We have anoth-
or and very serious complaint to make
against the deputies. A trader in this
township sold some provisions to some
miners and received therefor gold dust
He could not exactly make out the
amount in dust, and he gave them money
in change. He was charged with buying
gold dust without license and prOsccu-
ted for it. The prctext was most frivo-
lOus one, and of course the plaintiff was
non suited. Now, although he gained the
suit, yet he was subjected to nolittle incon-
venience and annoyance. Itappears to
us that the whole proceeding was unne-
cessary if not illegal, and that the agents
of the District Attorney would make as
much, get along more mOothly and not
render themselves odious to every person
by pursuing q more conciliatOry course.
II is not necessary to be insOlcnt to con-

It is a noticeable fact that scores of
Black Republican members Of the last
Congress made themselves rich during
their two years service at Washington.
They anticipated TINT it was their first
and last session, and they practiced the
grab game extensively. Every thicving,
specializing bill numbered them among
its advocates, and they blcd freely rail-
road, steamship and other contractors.-
OF the large number who received bribcs
only three or four of them were expelled
or ccnSurcd for corruption. If all who
had sold their principles had been cx-
PEELED, but few Republicans would have
been found in the House.
