Clear as rEudI.

The Democrat answers our questions in
the National Of last week, about Kent and
Riley's OK By the Democrats showing,
Kent didn't kill the OF himself, bu; some ol
his men did the deed of blood. Kent, there
fore, stands acquitted Of cattle stealing in
the first degree.
The Democrat then says: Middleton &
Riley drought civil action, for the value
Of the OK, against McAllisier a Kent, which
they paid" (McAllister, we suppose was
thrown in as kind of breastwork)
II was certainly very honorable in Kent
TO pay for tina. OK after judgement was rem
agains; him ergo, Kent stands acquitted Of
any intention. whatever, TO delrand Messrs,
Middleton Riley out of their OK; " e wo'd
scorn the hact." We congratulate Mr.. Kent
for the clear, satisfactory, and forensic man,
ner in which the charges made against him
have been answered by tie Democrat.

Horace Greeley n Letter.

The letter Of Horace Greeley has sealed
the long expected fusion. True, we had all
the time known that there would be prae.
iical fusion of Blacks and Halfbreeds 10 1,
very great extent, yet we we were not pre-
pared to expect that the fquare-toed Repub-
lieans Of the Greeley Abolition school,
would consent TO the arrangement. Led on
by the cohesive power OF spoils. the notori-
Gus Greedy, by inducement or otherwise. has
written letter advising his brethren to
unite with the Anti. .Lecomptonites. At Au-
burn and Sacramento, Mr.. Greeley declares
that there are only two great parties, the
National Administration Democratic party.
and the Republican party that the princi-
pies of these parties were diametrically an.
tagonistic, and demonstrated clearly that the
principles of the Anti.Lecompton party a
mounted TO nothing; that they were, in fact,
miserable imbecile faction.
At San Francisco be argues the necessity
OF fusion, for the reason, no doubt, that the
leaders OF the Anti-Lvcompton party have
assured him of their cooperation in the bat
Tia OF 1850, and the further reason that be
would suppress the voice of California in
Congress, in case OF no election By the peo-
pie.

we are Informed that on the trial OF Ken
Tor taxing Riley's OK. in Nevada, 1855, a
witness was introduced for the prosecution
lwho still resides in Nevada,) testified that
The hide Of the unfortunate OK was burnt al

then introduced by defendant to prove that
II was the custom of butchers in that place
TO burn hides.
That was getting out Of the scrape about

FEuIT.-Mrs. Bennet's Garden and Orch
ard, in this town, in our opinion, is little
ahead of any other in The country Three
years ago few little switches, with one or
two leaves TO each, was all that showed an
intention TO make an orchard. Now there
are peaches, apples, plums, pears, grapes
and other fruit in delicious profusion. The
orchard of Mrs Bennett, is credit TO our
town, and shows what the energy and taste
of lady can accomplish, in little time in
this fruit producing region. We noticed a
pear tree there with two crops upon it, the
first just about to ripen and the second far
enough ahead to miss the frost.

The Editor of the Democrat got OF some
horrible wit last week, on the Withdrawal

editor OF the Democrat evinces his usual
discretion by waiting till the "innimy'' had

loose.
Waite comes back at him this week with

THAT POLL TAX RECEIPT. PT.-The Grass Val
ley National is still harping upon ihut Poll
Tax Receipt alleged to have been sold by
Capt-Henderson, without being signed by
the Auditor, and asks us TO explain. All
thet we know Of this matter was derived
from a conversation with the District Attor-
ney some time since, and that we gave two
weeks ago. We have never heard any one
else allude to the subject. Mr.. Anderson
Informed US that there was no charge against
Hr. Brennan. the Assessor, that If any one
was tn blame, il was the deputy who sold the
receipt. Nevada Democrat.
The Editor Of the Democrat puts on
very innocent air about this matter. lie has
heard no one else allude TO the subject. OF
course not some people have ears and hear
not. We do not believe that our District
Attorney said that Mr.. Brennan was not to
blame for the acts of his deputy. Why does
Mr.. Brennan permit these charges TO 60 un.
reiuted? If he is innocent he will have no
difficulty in showing it. Somebody is TO
blame. Written receipts, not signed by the
auditor as the law directs, have been given
for poll taxes, and The money collected has
not 6eeu accounted for in tie returns IF the
Assessor!
The Democrats serere virtue does not
show itself on this occasion. Come, good
Iago, don't put Off your explanations till

has been played out We now make the

The LAW or LlDEL.-For considerable pc
Rod The decisions of the courts in cases of Ii
bel suits against heconductors of public jour
nails have leaned strongly to the side of liber-
atty and common sense. Thessedit0rial pro-
fession, accordingly, began to feel that the
law was its friend that well-meant para
graph, which might happen to prove unfound-
ed in fact, could no longer he used as q club
in the hands Of an enraged party or brief
less attorney, wherewith to compel the pay
ment ofsdamages and costs. This state of
calm and confidence, was, however, recently
very seriously disturbed by a report that the
editor of a country journal in the western part
Of this State had been mulcted to the amount
Of " 900 for publishing what was alleged to
he a facetious report of breach of promise
case tried in his village; and it was noticed
as an impressive coincidence, that the verdict
against the editor precisely equaled that found
against the fathless swain who would not
marry as he had agreed to do.
But on the heels of the shock caused by
the severe judgment against the poor editor
for being facetous, comes an explanation
which puts new and more cheerful face on
the matter. It now appears that the Court
which tried the night of the quill was not one
authorized by the Constitution or recognized
by the judiciary of the State. 1t was, in fact,
a voluntary tribunal, composed of law stud
ents, for their own especial delectation and
Improvement Before such court the editor
was summoned, tried and convicted. 1t il
thought that it may be a long time before the
Judgment is collected. The whole affair, in
short was one of those practical jokes which
young limbs of the law have never been alto.
gether above putting in operation.
