To THE INTERIOR PREss.-A few DAYS
ago, that poor onteast, liar and paltroon, Beri-
ah Brown, published in his paper, which was
telegraphed to several of the interior papers
by dirty dog, formerly one of the editors of
the Democratic Press, now one of the editors
of the Alta California, that the editor of the
Flag had had difficulty and rencontre with
Calvin B. Mcdonald Nothing of the sort
occurred. We have had no difficulty. not
even dispute, with Mr.. Mcdonald
Moreover, as can be attested by more than a
hundred concerned, we have never had an
unfriendly word with any person employed
in any department of this paper. We regret
to see that the falsehood of two wretched
outcasts and branded traitors is so readily
reported by the journals protesting loyalty.
This incident will probably admonish them
to henceforth obtain their information from
respectable persons and responsible journals.

UNITED STATES 7-30 LoAN-D. W. Chees-
man, Assistant Treasurer at San Francisco
received, by the last steamer, one million
dollars in 7-30 notes. Parties desiring to in
vestin them can do so to any amount from
$50 upwards, by remitting to The Assistant
Treasurer greenbacks, with an additional
amount to cover the interest from the 18th
of February, 1865, up to the day of deposit.
The notes will be forwarded to parties by
mail or express as they may direct. Now
is the time to invest in Government bonds !;
the rebellion is near the famous " last ditch. /"
At present rates, one thousand dollars in coin
will bring two thousand in currency. The
interest on each 800 amounts to cents per
day.

County Affairs.

Bv the report of our County Treasurer,
published in this number, it will be seen that
financially our county is in fodrishing
condition THAT our debt is rapidly decreasing;
so fast, indeed, as to warrant the hope that
we may soon be doing business Oh cash
basis.
For the present condition Of things, much
credit is due to all our officers, including,
ofcourse, our excellent Board ofSupervisors,
but principally to ex- Senator Shurtlef and
Asssemblyman Chappell for the laws they
framed and worked through the Legislature.
and which have had so healthy an effect
upon the financial condition of our county.
There is further legislation needed to equal
ize the profits of the various county offices,
and make those profits assimilate somewhat
to the responsibility attendant upon the
Office. For instance, the Office of Sheriff,
one of great responsibility, is hardly self-sup
porting. while that of Tax Collector, having no
other responsibility than that of safely keep
ing and promptly paying over the moneys
collected, pays the fortunate incumbent,
during the two years for which he is elected,
a small fortune. This is not as it should be.
The offices of the county should be sufficient
fy remunerative to insure their occupancy by
good men; but should not be so endowed
other than fair means to obtain them, or
make them over anxious to retain them.
Good men will serve the public for the same
wages that they would serve individuals,
and as will and ifany or all choose TO incur
large expenses in procuring such positions
it is simply their own business, and does not
entitle them to a life lease of fat office
because they choose to spend q great deal
of money to get it, nor should such excuses
be listened to-
Again, we apprehend that if the Offices par
took less of the fat, and more of the lean,
such extraordinary efforts to obtain them as
the past has witnessed would cease, and we
would be gladdened by seeing the office
hunt the man. instead of the man hunting
the office, '' consummation devoutly to be
wished" 1t was pet theory with old
Foote, and we favor its Inauguration here.
As a stepi in equalizing the profits or emolu-
ments of the county offices as they now exist,
we shall advocate the passage of law by
the next Legislature dividing the business
of the Tax Collector with the Sheriff either
giving to the Sheriff the collection of the
property tax, or of the foreign miners tax,
or some other division as will in our judg
ment equalize the profits of the two Offices.
We are thus early in announcing our views
on this question, that those interested may
have full notice, and be governed according
ly.
Our columns are opcr for short communi
cations on this subject, and we shall be
happy to have our citizens discuss it. 1t is
one in which every tax payer is interested
and more especially those who mvy be seeking
a nomination at the next Union Convention.

PUBLIC MEETING ABOUT HoGs.-Our fellow
citizens. of the Cottonwood country held q
public meeting at Janesville last week, tc
| fix up hog laws and settle old grievances,
growing out of many adjacent hog ranges.
By the expressman we were furnished with
the proceedings of this meeting for publica-
ton but were not furnished with any compen-
sating "kale' for so doing. Now it is by
the publication of our paper that we make a
living, and when we print matter that is of
a strictly local nature, and of no general
interest, we expect to be paid for it.
The matter in question was not, so far as we
could judge, of interest to any except those
in attendance at the meeting.
Welearn there is some little feeling against
us for not publishing the proceedings
referred to, gratis. We will ask you, gentle
men, if you are prepared to give us sow
and pigs, or half dozen shoats for fattening,
on the same liberal terms that You ask us to
work for you?

HIGHLAND MILL.-Saturday last this com
pany cleaned up nine days run. The
amalgum, reduced and assayed, amounts to
S., ,235 46. The superintendent says if the
weather had admitted of his getting the best
rock to the mill, of which there is an abun-
dance, he would have doubled the above re-
turns in the run. As it was they put through
a considerable quantity of comparatively
poor rock which was stored at the mill.

Justice Sanderson of the Supreme Court has
written letter to the lawyers of San Fran
cisco, that he will allow his name to be
used as canidate for Supreme Judge next

subject, and solicited him to permit his name
to be used in connection with the office.

RoBBEkY-Last Saturday two Cinnamon,
who had been employed as cooks in the
Washington mill, were paid off and dis
charged. On Sunday morning the Celestials
were missing. as was also purse belonging
to the company, containing nearly $500,
which the superintendent had hidden behind
work bench in the mill. 1t is supposed
the Cinnamon had watched the cache and
raised it.

The above is the oath taken by the son Of
Dr. Mcdaniel of Marysville, on his return tc
that place from the rebel army, where he
boasts of having killed dozens of Yankees
About six days after having taken the oath
he made oneof a party who stole the large
flag from the Masonic Hall, and secreted ii
in filthy sink in that building, evidencine
that traitor will take an oath and his
whisky with equal relish and indifference
The people of Marysvillle are becoming ter
ribly excited about the matter, and it would
not surprise us to learn any day that outraged
loyalty in that city purged itself Of such
nuisances without having strictly followed
the statutes in such cases made and proyi-
ded.
A correspondent of the Appeal, ofWednes-
day last, charges that this young Mcdaniel
is probably one of the piratical crew who
some time since came. to the Isthmus OF
Panama to capture the steamer Honduras,
and raise thereon the black flag of piracy.

should live outside Of the walls of Alcatraz

CELEsTIALs GAINING GRoUND.-In Lower
Springs Mining district, the Chinese have for
a long time been excluded. Recently the
miners having become disgusted with work
ing for small pay, and with small quantities
of water, held meeting and voted that
Cinnamon might come into their district and
work any claims they could buy, and no
more. On last Monday another meeting
was held, and the laws so amended as to
admit Chinese to come in on equal terms
with Others This is as it should be, and
those diggings will now produce ounces where
heretofore only dollars were extracted, and
will add largely to the revenue of the county.

SHoT.-At Lower Springs, on Wednesday
last, difficulty occurred betweeen China
man and German, whose name. we
have not learned, in which the Chinaman
was shot in the arm. 1t seems the China
man had bought ditch and mining claim
in that vicinity and innocently supposed that
his ditch was Untitled to some water. The
German denied that Chinaman had any
rights, and so shot him. All parties still live.

SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILROAD PUR-
cHAsE.-Wc mentioned some days ago
that George F. Bragg, of San Francisco,
had, on behalf of himself and others, pur-
chased q controlling interest in the Sacra-
mento Valley Railroad Company, buying
out the entire stock held by L. L. Robin
son and Phoebe s. Bayerque. 1t was not
at that time known whom Bragg repre-
scented in the purchase, but the develop
ments Of Tuesday and yesterday show
that Sacramento capitalists were probably
somewhere in tho background and were
the instigators of the movement. At all
events, it turns out that the principal
stockholders of the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company have purchased Of Bragg
his entire interest in the valley road, in
Guiding the late purchase from Phoebe &
Bayerque and Robinson. The new pur-
chasers took formal possession yesterday
of the road and property Of the company.
AS yet no changes have been made as to
the SUPPLEMENTARY, time of running
trains, etc. The Sacramento Valley Rail-
road Company has occupied and used the
Freeport road under q lease of ten years,
on the payment of $4,000 per year. This
lease, Of course, is still held by the new
company. The general belief is that the
Freeport business will now be concen-
trated in this city. At all events it is safe
to say that the antagonism which hos
heretofore existed is now ut an end, and
that the entire management Of both roads
is in the hands Of Sacramento citizens.
The meetings of the Board of Directors
of tho Valley road will hereafter be held
in Sacramento. This purchase does not
carry with it any interest in the Sacra-
mcnto Valley and Placerville road, run
ming from Folsom to Single springs.
That road is owned principally in Ell Do
RADIO. Charles Mclean, of San Francisco,
is the President Of the company. That
road is however, at the present time,
worked by the rolling stock of the Valley
road, having none Of its own.-Sae. Union

SACRAMENTO, August l8.-InformatIon
has been received in this city which con-
firms the reported murder of John L. At
kinson, who resided between Michigan
Bar and Sebastopol. On Wednesday
morning, persons going to his store found
deceased lying near the door dead, having
received several knife wounds. The son
Of the murdered man was absent on buSl-
ness in the city. Az some $26 remained
in his pockets, and valuable property was
undisturbed in the store, it seems evident
that robbery was not the object which in
duced the murder. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Atkinson was murdered by
the murderers'of William Ritter, from a
fear that he might at some future day be-
come a witness against them.
Preparations arc being made to raise
Hastings Bank, corner I'd and ] streets,
to the high grade.
A dispatch received from Salt Lake,
this morning, says Mr.. Creighton, Super.
intendent Pacific Telegraph Company,
came into Circuit, last night. He report

EXCELSIOR.

-
We had the pleasure yesterday of a talk
with Mr.. C. r. L., recently from Excel
sior. As he is soon returning to that
lofty mining district, VIC expect he is con-
WINGED that the leads there are substantial
footed affairs. About 800 hundred inhab-
itants are round about. Everything is
lovely. Many men are of the mind that
they have an immense thing but BY WIN
ter time it will be on ice-if at all. Snow
promises, from freed indications, to fall
from fifteen to twenty-five feet. So the
chaps who are laying back for Matched
fortunes by the old quick ~incubating pro-
cess-of Washoe flush times-are apt to
be overtaken with an avalanche, before
they build a Sandy Bowers palace. Hard
cutting all round and all under. Don't
expect to get down an inch without
blasted work. More developing money
required there than here. 1t seems desir-
able to republish frequently the fact that
Excelsior" is in California.
Rev. Father Monogue, of Virginia,
started for Excelsior yesterday afternoon.
He will remain about a week. He will
attend to the spiritual wants of his old
parishoners-now in thatsmore heavenly
exalted country ; and will, if he deems it
advisable, make preparation there for reg
ular services and the building Of a church
ediice.
It is reported that a mill is on its weary
way up to this new district ample to test
and demonstrate the wealth Of the leads.
California capital sends it; and that char
aScter of investment is expected to answer
a thousand hopes deinitely-be the place
rich or be it sham: The telegraph wire
is going there. A band of negro Ministries
is going there. As many as one gambler
has started for there. Three highly hon.
orable young gentlemen have left there
with unknown quantities of feet to dispose
Of in New York city. There is no sick
ness there, of any account. No doctor
there, yet. Very little profanity in the
camps; not a lawyer in the valley; morals
generally good.

We van peace and quiet, and a sooth-
ing and softening, as soon as possible, of
the bitter feelings the war has engendered.
The Southern people who were driven out
of the Union are glad to get back to it.
S. +. Examiner.
IAN we want is to be let alone" once
remarked jeff. The idea of the Examiner
on that particular point can therefore
hardly be considered original. But as
the Southern people who had been
"drivcn out Of the Union" by jeff. have
expressed themselves, according to the
Examiner, glad to get back to it, hadn't
they better behave themselves q while be-
fore they undertake to get their backs up
again? It would seem that these high
combed cocks had not yet been sufficiently
subjugated and whipped into deccncy, if
we can judge by the following sentences
of insolent bombast. Just read it:
"Slavery, so far as it was a disturbing
cause, they are almost glad to see gone
forever. But these restless fanatics are
never satiated with wrong and outrage.
Having by the power of superior numbers
forced upon the South the intolerable evil
of a free negro population, they now in
sist upon the elevation Of the negro to
the political status Of the white. This
demand is calculated to plunge Us into
another civil war of even more frightful
dimensions than the n through which
We have Just passed. This demand the
South will resist to the death, and in this
resistance she will have the support Of
thousands who were willing to fight for
the abolition Of slavery, but who will
never lend q hand 10 sustain this modern
heresy of the equality Of the two races.
We shall never have peace or quiet in the
land until this restless, intermeddling, mis-
chievous race is either expelled or
silcnced."
