}. The Infamous Attachment I.oXv. >,

l
For some years past, just before the assemb-
ling Of the Legislature, the San Faancisco
press have great deal to say about the "Iifa-
nous attachment Law" The cry has been ta-
ken up by some Of the press in other counties,
and we began to think that our Statutes must
contain some almost dabolical PROVISIONS
But upon examination and after some pretty
diligent inquiry, VIC find that there Is nothing
30 extremely hideous abont the law after ALL
1t simply provides that creditor may, in n
certain class of cases, secure his debt before
he obtains judgment To do this and before
he cah seize his debtors property, he must
give bond and security that he will pay any
damage the debtor may suffer it, upon the tri-
al, it should appear that the demand was an
unjust one. We are informed that in no in
stance in this county has an attachment been
issued on an unjust demand; that in every case
i'll which that writ has issued, the creditor has
obtained Judgment or the suit has been ami
cably settled. So long as the law gives the
creditor the right to collect by its means his
debts it should give him un rtlcctual remedy
Give him the actual, not the prctence, Of IL
power.
Let the merchants of San Francisco seek the
abOliShment OF all laws for the collection Of
debts, so as TO leave the obligation to pay sole
~ an honorary one, and we will not raise our
humble voice in opposition. But ask any bu.
sincss man in this State how many debts he
could collect if hc had 10 obtain Judgment
before he could make an effort to secure his
demand. Ifa man has to sue another lie gem
orally docs so only when satisfied that his debt
or has the ability to pay and won't pay. No
man incurs costs and expense by u suit against
one who has not the means of satisfying the
debt. The moment man is sucd the chan
ces are ten to one that hc reasons in this wise:
My crcditorhas sued me. and now will beat
bin If can. The debtor becomes irritatcd and
determines in his own mind, that it is pcrfrclv
fair and right that he should keep his creditor
' out of his money as long as possible This
may be deemed somewhat dcrogatory to the
character of business men in general, but it is
nevertheless true, and the business men are
those who best know its truth.
The San Francisco merchants find the law
ESQ infamous" because occasionally it happens
that they sell goods to country merchants who
arc indebted To their ncighbors in the country,
and sometimes those ncighbors secure their
debts before the San Francisco creditor arrives
with his attachment They make sales Of old
stocks at big prices, I" the country merchants
on part credit, who are thereby enabled 10 bOr-
row money from their ncighborS, and when the
cold stocks" are found to be unstable and the
San Francisco merchant importunate, it does
sometimes happen, aud by the consent too, Of
the borrower, that the ncghbor secures the re-
turn, dollar for dollar, Of his money. Let
MS have no laws ON tho subject, or else
laws that will attain the desired end-thc col.

The San Francisco Morning (aN, "a journal Of
the Bulletin and PIdindealer stamp, is highly
elated because some fellow, somewhere in some
paper has come out in its defence "a fellow
feeling makes it wondrous kind" The Norm
ing cali has been engaged for long time in
the disreputable task Of villifying prominent
Democrats, and of course the Nounfdin DEM
ocrat has come in for u full share of its abuse,
which greatly plcases a certain pack of ours
that arc constantly barking at our heels. We
are pleased to know that our course does not
meet the approval Of the editors Of the BmllS-
tin, PlaindeaIer, MorHiny (aN and their con-
federates in the interior; and that fellow that
was accused Of horsc-stealing and made to
leave Calavcras county, is not so degraded as
not to find some apologist for his conduct
We are proud Of the enmity of such fellows,
and hope the defender of the Morning (dN will
continue his "labOr Of love"

ject, in informal meeting, the past Grands of
the city being present. The decision Of the
Grand Master was confirmed. We understand
that the Grand Master will issue circulars, call

representatives may be prepared to act under
standingly on the subject, ut the regular ses-

from the Federal city as follows:
Attention has been attracted to the qucs-
tion Of title in the mineral lands in California.
This has not been question in other States.
The title of the General Government has al.
ways been acknowledged. ThcSuprcmr Court
of California has decided it to rest in that
State. The Supreme Court Of the United
States will oycr-rulc that decision, and that
will end it, IN the mcanN hilc the gold Of Cal
ltnrnia will not become exhausted. Its pro-
duets will annually increase, until there will
soon be as much gold in circulation as there
now is Of gold and paper. Shall we still have
paper circulation? Doubtless. II is easier

We understand that Gclwicks, Of the Democrat,
formerly occupied position in the Custom House
that he was sent to IL Dorado county with print

that hs paper was created to sustain the interests
of combination.
We had an appointment in the Custom House
under Major Hammond which we resigned in
November, 1853, against the wishes of the Col
lector. Since then we have r.tuSed to except
appointments. Not one cent was contributed
by the Custom House, nor by any one connect
ed with it. to establish the MOUNTAIN Demo-
GRAFT. This stale slandcr and infamous lie we
have contradicted before, but it does not deter
every sconndrel, when he wishes to abuse US
to repeat it. The DEMOCRAT has no favors to
ask from any one--certainiy has refused to ex-
cept them from prominent Democrats.
