SYNOPSIS OF THE SOLE TRADER Acr-
Women who are now doing business under
the Sole Trader Act, and those who contem.
plate availing themselves Of its provisions,
are referred to the following synopsis Of
the Act, as amended by the last Legislature
which we find in the Alameda Gazette:
"The Act now provides that any married
woman wishing to transact business in her
own name, must first advertise for four
weeks a notice Of her intention to apply to
the District Court for permission to do so.
AT the expiration Of this notice, she is to be
examined by the Court as to the reason
which induced her to make the application,
and upon such an examination the Court
may grant or refuse her request, which re-
quest any creditor Of her husband may op.
pose, by showing that it is intended 70 pre-
vent such creditor from collecting bis debt
from the husband. The Act further provi.
des that every woman who 10 now sole ira
der shall cease TO be snch on the frat Of
November next, unless prior to that time
she complies with the new law"
The Placer herald., 1862-08-16
MEMO.

SnIRklSc.-A few miles beyond the lines
Of Placer in Sutter county, there resides a
venerable gentleman, Of the Republican per-
suason, who is somewhat noted as "war to
the knife man against all the retels in Dix
ie. In fact he is for giving "the last man,
and the last dollar" for tho suppression OF
the rebellion. But several weeks ago the
collector called upon him to give his "firs'
dollar" in shape Of the two dollar Federal
poll tax, when the old man declined on &C
count Of his age, and demurred to the pay
ment Of the tax by one of bis sons and q
son in.law, because they were crippled, and
Of another son because he was not Of SOUND
mind. At last accounts the collector was
dumb.founded.

The Signs of the Times.

From different parts Of the County we
have cheering news OF the prospects Of the
Democratic Ticket Old Democrats welcome
the names of our nominees with entuhusi
asm, recognizing in them old and wel-tred
champions who have been faithful to the
principles Of democracy--hence, hundreds
of Doug!asises are leaving their mongrel or
ganization and coming 10 the support of the
Democratic Ticket.
1t is well known that all tina. keeps the
Douglas men together in this county, is the
popularity and strength Of the candidate for
District Attorney, and even he cannot save
lhem-ths is there lest fight, their death
struggle is upon them, and in few short
DAYS they will be compelled to retire to private
life. The Republicans came near capturin ing
them rs is proven by the exposure in "Sel.
kinks Letter." and then the Withdrawal from
them Of Judge Poland and Arnold with a
very strong wing, left the poor Douglasite'
very meagre in numbers to enter upon the
present campaign. And to add to their mis-
fortunes. the regular democrats have received
large accessons from their ranks since las
year.
The fact is, the people begin to look Al
political matters in true light-they know
the real question is peace or war. The Re
publicans advocate war, no matter at what
sacrifice, even if it be the liberties Of tht
people, and the constitution, and the coun
try should be burthened with insupportabl'
taxation for centuries to come and the hor
rors of civil war shall desolate the countr!
from one end to the other.
On the other hand democrats demand peace
and contend for compromise, for the liber
,ies and for the preservation Of the countr!!
from the evils that are now upon us. Wh'l
the Douglas party is nothing: Its Repub
lican and YETI is''not, processes democracy
but acts RephblicanAIn fact III. fs neithe

disgusted with it--they will either vote tn

PROGRESSION VS.. PRAcrIcE.-S. r. Brad

one Of the candidates Of his party for the re-
sponsble position of AssembIyman, yet not
withstanding he is for carrying the war to
the bitter end, we are reliably informed that

lector called upon him to pay the two. dollar

A SEcEsn TR1cK-Some time since. we
said the Administration wers issuing paper
which it would not receive back again from
the people Under the above caption the
Marysville Apdeal, attempts to refue it; and
the article of the Appeal is approvingly cop
led into several abolition rapers-among the
number, the Forset Hill Courier We con
slider the attempted refutation direct ad
mission Of our charge: but we will submit
it to the judgment Of the fact as stated to
the public.
"The HeraM can hardly be ignorant OF
the fact, that the frs: issue Of Demand Notes
was receivable and received for all govern
dues; and the reason that the second issue wa'
not made receivable for customs is because the
Government wants to be certain Of always
enough cash to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt which is required by law to be made
in specie"
If this is not pleading guilty to the in
dictment then we nre much mistaken.
The Placer herald., 1862-08-16
Homer to Whom Honor is Due.

We understand some of the candidates on the
opposition are attempting TO make capital out OF
the present most prosperous and sound condition
OF the county financially. This will do very well
10 blow about, among people who do not know
to whom the credit Of this is due. Fortunately
there are but few of the citizens of Placer but
are familiar with the facts, and know that it is
the work of the democracy Hon Joseph Walk
up commenced the work Of reform by the cgis-
lation of the session of 1857, in the passage OF
the act reducing the Board Of Supervisors from
fire 10 three members The redemption law. and
other kindred measures. This was followed up
in the session of 1853. by the acts dividing the
Offices of Clerk and Recorder making them sal
aried places. the combining the terms of the
County Court and the Court of Sessions.
Much credit too is due in the working OF these
laws. TO the economical administration coming
under the supervision of the Hon. Judge Van
Dccar and the fnarcal acumcn of VIM. Duck.
ESQ. Supervisor. These are the sources to which
the people attribute the credit, and rghtiully
too. Let our democratic brothers claim their
dues; all the rest of the world have had their
pay-ample and sufficient for all that they have
done. The democracy took charge Of the county
administration when it was nearly hundred
thousand dollars in debt, and by the policy es-
tablishcd hy the democracy then. the current eX-
penses have been borne. the debt cancelled, and
we have now 100000 surplus.
