THE SALARY BrLI.-A bill has been introduc
ed in the Legislature by Mr.. VanSchaick, of San
ia Clara, authorizing the Board of Supervisor:
of Trinity county to levy special tax not ex
ceeding twenty-five cents on each one hundred
dollars, to be set apart special fund for tht
payment of the salary of the county Judge
The bill was referred to Mr.. Personette, and BY
him reported back with the recommendation tha
it pass.
We think the bill good and just one. Under
the new constitution the duties of county Judge
have been largely increased, while the salary ha:
been reduced from three thousand to twenty-four
hundred dollars. The county Judge has now
original jurisdiction over cases in insolvency
as well as in cases of forcible entry and unlaw.
full detainer, in trials of arson and other actions
which we need not specify.
1t is argued by the opponents of the measure
that it will make that officer preferred creditor
of the county We do not, however, think this
is the case. The constitution, which defines the
duties OF the office, also fixes the salary, which
it declares shall not be increased or diminished
during his term of Office The present mode of
payment by the issuing of county warrants which
have no fixed value in the market, but which are
bought and sold at any price which may be set
tied upon between buyer and seller, is in effect
diminishing the salary by substituting for cur
rency deprecated paper, the market value of
which may be one price to-day and another to-
morrow.
Such law will work no injury to the tax-pay-
ers of the county, who are in reality the parties
interested on the contrary. by reducing the
county Indebtedness and saving the interest on
the amount for the next four years, (amounting
to over 50, ,S0O) it will be decided benefit.
We have no doubt that the intention of the
trainers of the constitution was that the salary
should be paid in coin, and that legal proceed
ing could compel its payment in that manner
We have before US decision of Judge DANGER
field upon the point in question, which, if sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court, would be conclu-
sive, In 1882, +. ]. Curtis, then county Judge of
Trinity, petitioned for a writ of mdnddmus, to
compel John Musser, county Treasurer, to pay
in coin, a warrant issued Nov. 3oth, for services
rendered during that month as Judge. The Pc
tition was denied, but in the opinion dismssing
it the Judge said
q l further decide thai the petitioner, if he has
a remedy, must seek it through or against the
Supervisors of the county, whose duty l believe
it to be to set apart special fund in payment of
the Judges salary, but in this proceeding the
point does not arise, and ! can make no order
against them"
We hope the bill will pass. 1t will be no more
tnan justice to the Judge, and the county will be
oensntted. " Every other county officer receives
a. least one-half his income in coin, while the
omcer in question takes the whole in the depre-
ciated currency Of the county

SIGNS oE THE TMEs.-In Weaverville and
Columbia in this State there no Jews, if we
may credit the report of the postmaster from
these respective places. The once populous and
thriving towns in many parts of California,
where Isrealtes were won't to Iiue and improve,
are fast dwindling down into nothing, for it is a
very sign that where there are no Jews there is
no business, and town without business is as
good as a mound. Weaverville we are sorry for

THE DECISION WHICH DISTINGUISHES THE Sol
EIERs.-But the greatest of all injustice arising
under this decision is the disfranchisement Of
men who are fighting and exposing their lives for
their country. The biggest good-for-nothing
loafer in the country is allowed to come to the
polls and deposit vote, and generally one, too,
in favor of the rebels while the citizen soldier,
enduring the hardest of privations, and offering
his life to his country, is disfranchised. The
decision is shameful necessity, but imperative
upon the Court under the letter of the Constitu-
tion.-Appeak.

General Grant.

The New York Tribune pays this trib-
ute to General Grant:
We. loathe man-worship, and distrust
the worth of a nation which but one man
can save; yet every days experience
strengthens our faith in Lieutenant Gen
cral Grant. The task devolved on him is
ardous: he is confronted by an able Cen
eral and gallant, veteran army, who en-
JOY enormous advantages in their defen-
sive attitude, the nature of the country,
and their intimate knowledge of its to-
Biography; yet, from the hour of his cross
ing the Rapidan, Gen. Grant has gone
steadily, sturdily forward, repelling impet-
uous attacks assaulting (when necessary
strongly fortified positions; Withdrawing
unobserved from the immediate front Of
his wary antagonists, and efecting the
most daring and difficult flank move
ments, thereby achieving the fruits of
victory without encountering the carnage
which is the usual cost Of such success
and all this with a stern quietude that in
dicates reserved force, and conscious
ness of powers adapted to any emergency.
We are not apt to be over sanguine. We
realize that victory is often a happy ac-
cident, and that occurrences purely fortu-
itous often derange and defeat the ablest
combinations but having noted his bear
ing undertevery phase of fortune, his
quick improvement of advantages; and
his skilful reparation of mischances, we
cannot doubt that he has a true military
genius, and that he will do whatever one
man can do to break the back Of the
slave holders rebellion.

head has already been unanimously re-
nominated for fourth term, and Hon.
Thos Williams has been practically re-
nominated by two of the three counties
of his district declaring for him. OF the
other Union members, all are pretty GER
tain to be re-nominated without a contest
and triumphantly reelected, but Messrs.
Hale and Tracy, who were elected two
years ago irregularly, receiving the votes
Of the Democrats and a fraction of the
Unionists, although both have made
blameless records. Judge Hale, we learn
will not be a candidate, and the regular
Union nominee will succeed him. Tracy
will probably run noleas roleas against the
Union nominee, and the issue will depend
upon the force of the nomination made
against him, but we look for the election
of the candidate for whom the Copper
heads do not vote A feeble effort has
been made to defeat the denomination of
Judge Kelly in the 4th district, but it will
not succeed. So true, earnest and able q.
Representative cannot well be spared just
now from our National council.
On the Democratic side, Messrs Ran
dali, Stiles, Strouse and Dennison will
certainly be re-nominated, and we look
for their reelection. A contest will be
made against Dennison in Susquehanna
and Luzerne, and against Strouse in Leb-
anon and Schuylkill, but the chances are
largely with them. We have not seen any
indications as yet of our Irish "friends"
in the mining regions of Schuylkill and
Luzerne voting less earnestly, less fire.
quently or taking less interest in making
their neighbors vote against the war and
everything that sayors of loyalty and
Freedom; and as they make their own
criminal and election laws, they will give
just as much majority as they deem ne
eessary. We learn that Grow will not
run again, and Campbell has gone abroad
as Minister to Sweden. Ancona and
Johnston will go out by party limitation
and will be succeeded by intense Copper
heads like themselves. Bailey will be re-

BILLINGS ON DRAFTING.-There are
some nice points in drafting operations
which are extensively discussed in the red
ribbon circles. The most lucid explana-
tion of few Of these is given by Josh
Billings
Widder wimmin and their only son IL
xmpt, provided the widder's husband has
already saryed 2 years in the war and il
willing to go oagin; believe the supreme
corte has decided the thing forever.
Once more-If a man should run ava
with his draft, he probably wouldn't ever
be allowed to stand the draft agin; this
looks sevear at fust sight, but the more
you look at it the more you see the wis
dom into it,
Once more-Xmpts are those who have
been drafted. into the staitprizzen for try
ing to git an honist livin by supporting 2
wives at onct, also, all them people who
are crazee apd unsound on the goose; also,
all the nuespaper correspondents and fools
in general
Once more again-No substitute will
be acksepted who is less than three or
more than ten feet high; he must know
how ter chew terbacker and drink poor
whiskee, and mustn't be afraid of the itch
Or the rebels. Moral charakter amt re
quired, as the government furnishes that
and rations.
Conclusively-No person can be draft
ed but twice in 2 different places without
his consent, but all men has a right to be
drafted at least onct; j don't think even q
rit of habeus corpus could deprive a man
Of this last blessed privilege.

A LOSING GAME.-Some years since,
before the secession war, Southern gen
tleman visited the Moth for the purpose
of seeing the lion and fighting the tiger.
He tried the tiger, and didn't like 1t,
and thought he'd take shy at game IA
miliar to him by name only, called rou-
lette. One turn of roulette, you know,
makes the whole world win! He started
out in quest of the game, only knowing
that roulette had something to do with
roll, but entirely ignorant whether the roll
was French or a Dutch one On the
first corner he met barrel organ man
grinding away for dear life.
He was turning as though he had only
a few moments to turn in, and didn't want
to die before his work was completed -
The tune was g The Bold Privateer."
Our Georgian friend thought he'd found
his game. Stepping briskly up, he laid
a dollar bill down on the box. The or.
gan mans eyes opened-he bagged the
BILL and ground away with renewed Wig.
or.
Our Georgian thought he had lost, and
" doubled up laying down two dollar
bill. That war bagged, and The barrel of
the organ went around as though there
were seven imps inside it.
To make a long story short, the thing
went on, and the Georgian " doubled up,
the organ grinder pocketing the money
all the time e-until he had nary" anoth-.
er dollar left.
But he didn't complain As he saw
the last of his currency bagged by the de-
lighted organ grinder, he simply remark
ed
Well, of all the games l ever backed
against, this is the dogdarndest guess
III jump it," and he left.
