STATE ELECTION Sanderson is elected by a
small majority, owing to the lukewarmness of
the Democracy. The Sacramento Union says
1.-The returns from the various counties sus-
tain the opinion that Sanderson is elected By a
majority which may reach nine thousand or 90
down to five thousand" This proves that Re-
the Democracy had turned out they would have
elected Hartley by an overwhelming majority.
Sauderson's majority in San Francisco is only
456. A year ago Lincoln carried it by ma.
jority of upwards of four thousand.

THn PlacerVille Democrat declares that IT
the people restore the DemocUstie party 70
power, Il Wfh repudiate the contracts Of the
GovsrUueuk--Marysvills Appeal.
Why man, do you 20 willfully, persiS-
tenay and rsmOrselessly lisl Would It
chOks you to speak the truth : Are you
hired especially to do the dirty work Of
your partyi Is your cheek irOu'clad p
The DEMoCRAr has never made any dec
laration Of the kind-nOthing even ap'
proaching'it. We think that capital as
well as labor ought to be taxed to sup
port the Government. We can see no
justice in taxing labor and exempting
mOney-nO fairness in compelling labor
ing men to pay exorbitant taxes and mil
lienaries not cent. The Appeal thinks
it right to exempt from taxation Govern.
ment bonds in the hands of wealthy
shoddy contractors, spectators and cap.
italists-EiSht to tax labor not wealth.
We think every ns8 ought to be taxed
in proportion to his wealth, no matter o!
what that wealth may consist, and that
it is an outrage to tax labor and exempt
wealth. The Republican party, by its
legislation, has made swindling wealthy
bondholders privileged class" and if
laboring men are not blind to their own
interests they will defeat party which
legislates for wealth at the expense Of Ia
Dor. 1t should be borne in mind that no
Democratic paper or Convention has d g.
gested reputation the Republican pa.
pers are constantly clamoring that any
thing said in derogation Of the unjust ex-
emption of the bond aristocracy, means
reputation. 1t has been forcibly said by
another, that. they should beware how
they familiarize the popular mind with
that idea, in connection with the injustice
Of transferring the burdens Of capitalists
to the shoulders of their poor neighbors.
What is now held up as bug bear, il
cheapencd by constant exhibition, may
be seized upon by the ambitious and un.
scrupulous, as the most effective weapon
with which to beat down the barrier to
preferment, by restoring equal taxation.
We have just seen persistent effort BY
that class Of men result in persuadlng a
majority of the people to disregard obi
cations as sacred as the contract with
federal bondholders,"

Expressions of disloyalty are frequent in the
mouths of DemOcrats.-ShastaC Courier.
What are expressions Of disloyalty?''
What is disloyalty? The loyaliSts them
selves are unable to define it. Some say,
denouncing the President; others, oppo-
sition to the policy Of the Administration;
others, opposition to negro suffrage
others, sympathy ior the suffering people
of the South; Others, to question the
honesty of Cameron, the humanity Of
Jim Lane, the purity Of Butler, the piety
Of Beecher, the patriotism of John Brown,
the craftsmanship Of Sumner, the veraci-
ty of Pope, the Generalship of Banks, the
wisdom of Chase, the integrity Of Stan
ton, tho courage Of Hunter Andrew
johnson called John Brown "a murder.
er, robber, q thief and a traitor" and
for quoting his language the loyal San
Francisco Flag called US "paltry trai,
tor" II we are traitor" for merely
quoting the language of President John
son, what must johnson be for speaking
SO disrespectfully of loyal saint?-
John Brown, although he was murder
er, a robber, thief and traitor" was
"loyal," and loyalty excuses the crimes
of murderer, a robber, a thief and a
traitor. Cameron is swindler, Butler a
thief, Jim Lane and John Brown mur.
derers and traitors, but they are loyal, and
when Democrats speak of them as they
deserve. they utter expressions of dis
loyalty" in the estimation OF the Courier !!

Cotton at sylIminEtou.
F. A TfI1une Washington special says 1t is
known that Just after the fall Of Fort Fisher
the rrbcls commenced evacuating Whining
ton and moving cotton to the Interior, bnt
that ten days ago there was still from 30, 900
to so.ooo bales left. 1t is believed at the
War Department that most OF this has fallen
into Gen. schoaeld's hands.
The ReralFs Washington special says the
committee from Illinois for obtaining reduc-
ton OF the quota Of that State, has arrived
and had an interview with Gen. Fry, but were
unsuccessful. -.....
The ssDcur Old Hartferd.''
The 1u,es' Washington special says the
sloop- -of.war Hartford, famous as the flag
ship of Admiral Farragut, aud the Brooklyn,
which rendered such great service under
Capt, Allen, arc both being fitted out for ser
vice. The Hartford will probably go to Bra
I'll and the Brooklyn to the East Indies.
What the RIchmond ENQUIRER Thinks.
The Richmond Enquirer Of the I'd says
"Shou]d the whole seaboard be evacuated
md detaehments that baVo been guarding
clties concentrated, our army, will be
strengthened, while the enemy will be weak

eyacuated. The fall Of Richmond, apart from

It has been the grent objective point of fou1
years' var, and also the fact that 1t Is the
