CORRECT REMARKs.-The following from the
Stockton Independent should be read and ponder
ed by the people of every county in the State
The remarks indicate state Of things which has
been spoken of in our columns, and which de-
mands speedy and thorough reform. The evil is
one which is cleary apparent to even the most
dull observer, and it is astonishing that the peo-
pie of the several counties should be saddled and
ridden to the verge of pecunary ruin by schem-
ing trcksters without determined effort to rid
themselves of their burden
There is scarcely a county of the State, in or
out of the mines, that is not by far too dearly
governed. Just look Mt it. An able-bodied la-
boring man or mechanic, by laboring every day
in the year, after paying his moderate expenses,
can hardly lay up $500 or $500 Not one in ten
reaches the lowest of these figures. A merchant
whose investment does not exceed SIS 200 is glad
to clear So, 500 in a year Not one farmer in ff-
ty, with an investment not exceeding $4,000,
and employing from four to eight hands realizes
as much as 81, 900 per year. Yet, in the face OF
this general low ebb of trade and wages, there
are mountain counties whose limits of taxable
property real and personal do not exceed two and
a quarter millions Of dollars EACH where the
Sheriff realizes high IS, 600 or 900 per
wear the Clerk nearly as much, besides heavy
pay for one or two deputies, the District Attorney
from three to five thousand, the County Judge
nearly much though not employed quarter
of his time, with multiplied offices OF lower
grade either feed or salaried, in which the pay
is proportonatey heavy. We actually pay our
common laborers here less than the same labor
commands in ssachusetts or Illinois, and our
farmers and mechanics can make no more here
than there. But our County Clerks, Sherhs,
Recorders and lowest Judges of Courts OF record,
each receive twice and thrice as much as New
England and Western Governors of States, SUI
preme Judges or Members of Congress. This
may be sound political economy, but we don
see it, The lahorer is worthy of his hire ms well
as the public official. and the wages of one ought
not to he ont of all proportion with the wages of
the other. unless wish to establish an official
arristocracy on the one hand aud plebeansm
Of honest labor on the other The interior papers
are derelct in duty in not advocating and push
ing general reform in the matter. 1t is difficult
to oyere innate the services of genius very
high order of intellect; but these are qualities
seldom found in official stations in this part of
the world. The very lowest of demagogic arts
are by far more characteristic; and that the
poor mountain counties are severely taxed TO
pamper the miserable brood is their own fault.
Cut down their wages to a half or a third of their
present rates. and honester, more capable men,
less purchasable and less tempted and disposed
to purchase others. because Invested of the pow
err. will fill official stations devoting their whole
attention tn duty and business, rather than AS
now, to political wire-pulling and Office grabbing.

" But the freedom of the African race

The question, then, 10 narrowed
down to this: Will we make constitn-

African race, mad a guaranty Of their
civil rights, or remain indefinitely under

If the Southern people will accept
with eheerfnlness The conditions laid
down by Judge Byrd, and carry them

A Democrats Argument against VOt-
Ing the Unl0n Ticket.

Rather an amusing argument occur
red On election day, near the pclla Of
the Sixth Ward, An old time-honored
Jeffersonian Jackson Democrat, who had
grown gray in Democratic victories and
defeats, made his appearance a. the
polls, as oil good cilizens should do, for
the purpose Of acknowledging bis right
TO the elective franchise. Az he neared
the scene Of action, gentleman Of the
Union persuasion, cognisant OF the po-
litical anteoedenis Of the Jetfersonian-
Jackson man, rendered hima Cox ticket
in the way of joke,
The old Democrat accepted the offered
ticket, and declared he would vote it, as
be had become disgusted with his party
He then started for the polls, when the
fact of his conversion became noised
around among his Democratic friends,
az sach changes do in short space of
time. Before reaching the place tor de.
posting votes he was surrounded by q
score or more Of Hibernia politicians,
who collared, coat-tailed and button
holed him, and wanted to have little
talk with him.

for the polls, not agreeing with his old
political comrade, and voted the Union
