AN OFFICIAL SwINDLE.-At the late elec-

AN OFFICIAL SwINDLE.-At the late cleo
ton Road Commissioners were elected for
the several townships Of this county, Town,
ship No. 8, in which Auburn is situated,
among the rest. By a special Act Of the
Legislature, several years ago, the incorpora,
ton of Auburn was created separate road
district, the remaining part Of the township
being known as Road District No. 8. At
the election just past, the Abolitionists voted
for their Road Commissioner candidate in
every precinct in the township, Auburn in
cluded, but the Democrats only voted for
their candidate in the precincts outside OF
Auburn, as they knew that Auburn was not
a part of Road District No. 8. After the
polls we're closed, the Blacks claimed that
the last Legislature had abolished the Au.
burn Road District, and that Auburn was
now a part of District No. 8, and that they
had succeeded in stealing a march upon the
Democrats, and had elected their man.
An examination of the statutes showed
that an amendment had been passed last
winter, to the general Road Law of the
county, and while its tenor is calculated to
confuse the law, it WAS yet clear that its only
intention was to define the terms of the Road
Com missioners, without disturbing or repeah
ing the law creating any District.
But when 1t came to counting the votes,
Messrs. Madden and Scott, the two Supervi-
sors who recently signed the famous MAORI
ty report on the examination of the affairs
Of the Pacific Railroad Company, decided to
count the vote cast in the town of Auburn
for the Abolition candidate for Road Com
missioner, Boles, which gave him majority
of the whole vote cast, and then issued him
a certificate of election BY this means,
Murphy, the legally elected candidate was
swlndled out Of his certificate Never was
man more fully entitled to his certificate
than the Democratic candidate, and never
was man more shamefully treated by the
sworn officers. 1t is true the office is insg>
nificant in itself, but that does not delract
from the enormity Of the outrage committed
by the immaculate majority of our Board of
Supervisors. Mr.. Rogers, the third mem
ber' of the Board discounenanced the pro-
ceedngs in the business, and recorded hi,
vote against the swinde.

INDIAN CoRN.-lt was once thought that
corn could not be grown with any degree of
success in this valley, on account of having
no rain in the Summer, but we believe that
it has been demonstrated that corn will grow
with as little rain as wheat. In fact, we
have noticed that in great many places
corn would grow well when too dry for smal!
srain. 1t is not so badly effected By the
bhghting North winds to which the valley is
subject in the Spring. In 1882 we remem-
Der to have noticed at Mr.. Dunn's, (opposite
the head of Grand Island) beautiful field
of corn, which must have yielded forty BUSH
els to the acre, and field of wheat imme
diately adjoining which would not have
yielded five bushels. If ground can be
thoroughly wet after it has been once plow
ed, and then we'll cultivated, corn is as GER
tain as in any of the Eastern States. And
then the great advantage is, that one can
tell whether he can get the water before he
plants. Another error into which people
have generally fallen is that they must have
sweet corn or some other small trashy stuff,
in order TO have it come to maturity. We
have noticed corn crops a great deal, and
we say plant the big kind if you want big
crops. Give the soil of this valley one wet
ting, and it will bring anything to maturity.

RA1N.-From present appearances, the
long hoped for rainy season has at length ar
rived. For some days the clouds have been
gathering, and at the present writing the
rain is descending in quiet, pleasant man
ner. as if it intended to stay long enough to
soak the parched earth from the surface to
he'd rock. These clouds and showers are
more welcome to miners, farmers and the
general population, than the brightest skies
or bracug winds that California climate
has ever vcuchsa&ed them.

Ier's Dutch Gap Canal (for changing the

that something important may soon be look

in attempting to change the channel Of the
Mississippi river, such operations have not
since been regarded with much favor. But
then we shsl see whether Dutch Gap Canal
is to be an improvement on former efforts, if
We are but patient. The great interest now
centers upon the movements Of Shermau.-
He has destroyed Atlanta and Rome, and is
said to have cut loose from his base Of sup.
plies, and started on an independent expedi-
ton to capture some of the Southern cities
either Mobile, Savannah, Charleston, or
some Of the interior towns of Georgia. One
account says be is heading for Macon, Geor
gia, city directly south Of Atlanta bat as
the last report placed him at Kingston, sixty
miles north Of Atlanta, on the railroad lead
ing to Chattanooga, this suppostion cannot
be correct. A movement toward either Of
the places allowed named would not likely
be made 10 the direction that his army has
been moving. The press, although confident
that General Sherman is about executing a
*elling piece of strategy, is completely mys-
tilted as to bis movement. If it was not for
the confidence expressed that Sherman is
striing out for new and important field we
should say that bis retrograde movement
from Atlanta to Kingston, looks as if be
was retreating back to Chattanooga, to re
store his communications and confront Hood
in his threatened invasion of Tennessee. At
last accounts Hood was at Florence on the
Tennessee river, ready as rebel authorities
cay, to strike in any direotion-which is sup

phs. But few days more will probably
develop the intentions Of the rival comnan
ders, and the doubts that hang over the mill
itary operations of northern Georgia and
Alabama, will be solved. The season of the
year has arrived when naturally lull might
be expected in army movements, and provs-
ion made for going into winter quarters, and
while this is likely to be the case in Virginia
it is not apparent in the armies Of Sherman
and Hood, and with them everything at
present points to an active winter campaign
In eastern Tennessee, Breckenridge has
