Rat.
The Hon Josephus Epaphroditus Napol
con Lewis. Judge of the Bidwell Bridge and
Pope of Butte County, has issued a second
Bull commanding printing to be done at
certain rates, and making the Republican

feetly willing he should turn traitor to the
party that placed him in power, for the

Record. We are not dependent upon his
patronage for our success, and his purchas

merits and should receive the scorn and
contempt of every practical printer, and Of
every honorable and intelligent man in the
State. What dignifed act for Judge to
spread upon the records of his court the
price for which labor shall be performed:
| No practical printer would aid him in his
meddlesome interference to degrade the Ia

Virginia, and Flats enough in Butte County
to compel the taxpayers to construct roads
leading to his ferry and bridge. until he

To clean US out so completely,
That we'll lose our every 'mopus,'
Every single speck of pewter
Every solitary sinner
Every brad aud every dollar,
All the dough in our possession,
All the spoons our labor earned us,
All the bright and lovely ready
All the 'rowdy,' all the 'stumpy,'
All the cash and all the 'rhino.'
All the tin we did inherit,
All the 'd;bs' we could discover,
All the browns our uncle left Us,
All the chips and dust and 'chinkers,'
All the dimes and all the 'horsenails,
All the brass and all the 'neelful,'
All the 'spondulix' and buttons
All the rocks and all the mint drops
All the Jumps and filthy lucre.'
