con Lewis. Judge of the Bidwell Bridge and
Pope of Butte County, has issued second
Bull commanding printing to be done at
certain rates, and making the Republican
hetdomadal his official organ. Weare per-
fectly willing he should turn traitor to the
party that placed him in power, for the
purpose of gratifying his personal animosity'
and use his official positioa 20 aid the Re-
publican organization, and to crush the
Record. We are not dependent upon his
patronage for our success, and his purchas.
able favor is not the price of our independ-
ence. We hold our fate superior to such
fortunes. But when he uses his official in.
fuence to degrade the labor of the craft, he
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
Dor of the craft. He has driven niggers in
Virginia, and Flats enough in Butte County
to compel the tax payers to construct roads
leading to his ferry and bridge, until he
imagines himself all powerful. Here is :he
second Bull ISSUED by this official Rat. 1t is
from the County Court:

County Judge.
Should he spread an order upon the Rec
ords of Court commanding our carpenters to
perform work for less than the established
price, would they not greet him with French
applause-"H- i.s.s! Ctr
The road to the Junction "strikes the
pocket" and that is greater motive power
than four hundred pounds pressure of steam
to the square inch, he has determined
To clean us out so completely,
That we'll lose our every 'mopus,'
Every single speck of pewter
Every solitary sinner
Every brad and every dollar,
All the dough in our possession,
All the spoons our labor earned us,
All the bright and lovely ready
All the 'rowdy,' alb the 'stumpy,'
All the cash and all the 'rhino.'
All the tin we did inherit,
All the 'dibs' we could discover,
All the browns our uncle left us,
All the chips and dust and 'chinkcrs,'
All the dimes and all the 'horsenails,'
All the brass and all the 'needful,'
All the 'spondulix' and buttons
All the rocks and all the mint drops
All the Jumps and filthy lucre,
All the 'gelt' and all the heavy
All the sweet 'pecuniary,'
All the hard and all our funds too,
All the 'wherewithal and 'scabs' too
All the root of every evil
All the circulating mediums,
All the 'mammon' we have gathered,
All our money in word"
Remorseless Judge! Ungenerous, extra
Judicial Rat! Cans't thou,not be induced to
place thy judicial cap once more on its
downy seat, and revoke these fearful Rules
and orders! We have sunk way down into
the heels of OUR boots, already-we have.
