Debt of Amador to Cslaveras.

The Calaveras Chronicle comes down
rather savagely upon the proposition now be-
fore the Assembly, introduced by Mr.. Briggs,
providing for the payment of the debt due
from Amador to Caaveras in the scrip of the
latter county. We do not propose to make
any argument on the question, inasmuch as
our delegation, assisted by the President Of
our Board of Supervisors and others, will re-
fer and urge all the facts in the case before
the Committee to whom the Bill has been re-
ferred. Beyond doubt, a very strong case
has been made out, and we would not throw
any stumbling block in the way of the inhu-
ence Of the Amador delegation in the prem
ises, which we are afraid would be the result
did we attempt full statement Of matter
with which we are only partially acquainted.
This Calaveras Indebtedness matter, or rather
the manner in which it has been managed,
has, in fact ever been profound mystery to
a vast majority if not the whole people Of Am
ador; and tits gratifying to anticipate that the
whole affair is now about to be disclosed and
made manifest.
There is one main proposition, or principle,
to which we would desire to call the attention
of the Legislature. If tits law and justice to
compel an individual to receive his own pa
per in payment of demands he may have
against another-whch will certainly be con-
ceded-then the conclusion is inevitable, that
it ought to be law and justice for counties to
be compelled in the same manner. This debt
from Amador to Calaveras is, or, at least,
was originally, in the precise nature of an
obligation from one individual to another,
when no third party interviewed Amador,
in 1854, was created out of that portion OF
Calaveras north and west of the Mokelumne
river; and the debt in question is the amount
adjudged to be Amador's portion of the orig
inal Indebtedness of Calaveras county, before
the division. 1t would be strange doctrine,
indeed, and strange justice, to contend that
Amador should be compelled to do more than
redeem her proportion of the original indebt-
edness, upon the best terms the market will
allow. 1t would not be fair to pay Calaveras
$50, 900 cash, when they could buy up the
$50, 900 Indebtedness, in scrip, for $l5, 900 or
less, and make clear cash speculation of
