CoRRECr REMARKs.-The following from
the Stockton Independent should be read aud
pondered by the people of every county 10 the
State. The remarks Indicate a state of things
which has been spoken of in columns, and
which demands speedy and thorough reform.
The evil is one which is clearly apparent to
even the mos, dull observer, and it is astoush-
ing that he people of the several counties
should be saddled and ridden TO the verge OF
pecunarY ruin by scbeming tricksters without
a determined effort 10 rid themselves Of their
burden:
There is scarcely county of the State, in
or out Of the mines. that is not by far too
dearly governed. Just look at it. An able
bodied laboring man Or mechanic, by laboring
every day in the year, after paying bis moder-
ate expenses, can hardly lay up 500 or $500.
Not one 10 ten reaches the lowest of these
figures. 4 merchant whose investment does
not exceed $4,000 is glad to clear 81 SEQ a
year. Not one farmer n fifty, with an invest
ment not exceeding $4,000, aud employing
from four to eight hands, realizes as much as
81 600 per wear. Yet, 10 the face of this
general low ebb Of trade and wages there are
mountain counties whose lists of taxable prop
erty, real and personal do not exceed two and
a quarter millions dollars each. where the
Sheriff realizes as high as SIS 600 o. $1,000
per year. the Clerk nearly as much besides
heavy pay for one or Two deputies, the Dis
tyict Attorney from three to five thousand the
County Judge nearly as much. though not en-
ployed a quarter OF his time, with multiplied
offices of lower grade, either feed or saaried.
in which the pay is proporli0naiely heavy
We actually pay cur common labJrers here
less than the same labor commands 10 Massa-
chuseits or Illinois, aud cur farmers and me-
chau;cs can make no more here than there.
But cur County Clerks, Sherifs Recorders and
lowest Judges of Courts Of record. each receive
twice or thrice as much as New England and
Western Governors OF States Supreme Judges
or members Of Congress. This may be sound
political economy, but we don't see it. The
loborer is worthy of his hire as well as the pub
lie official, aud the wages of ore ought not TO
be out of all proportion to the wages Of the
other, uuless We wish to establish an official
aristocracy on the one hand aud q pebeianism
OF honest labor on the other. The interior
papers are derelict iH datv in not advocating
aud pushing q general reform in the matter.
Il is difficult TO overestimate the services of
genius or very high order of intellect but
these are qualities seldom found in official STA
tions in this part OF the word. The very lowest
Of demagogic arts are by far more charae-
teFislic; and that the poor mountains coun-
ties are so severely taxed 10 pamper the mis-
erable brood is their own fault Cut down
their wages to half or third of their pre-
sent rates, and honeSter, more capable meu,
less purehaSabie and less tempted and disposed
to purchase others, because divested of the
power, will ill officials stations, devotiug their
whole attention TO duty and business. rather
than as now, to political wire pulling and Office
grabbing.

These considerations are proper in mitigation

The wine produced from grapes grown in the

though il may excite surprise, is but the signal of
skill, and follows as the natural effect of such
cause. We are personally acquainted with gentle
men who had suffered for years under chronic dis
ease. and who had taken advantage Of every
available means that promised relief. but without
success until they called upon DR.. Dohsrty, who
in an Incredibly short space of time, has given
them entire relief. Il is gratifying TO announce
this fact, because the Doctor is gentleman who
seeks not by defamation of others 10 establish his
reputation. or TO rear the superstructure of his
own upon the rule of another's fame. The Doctor
conducts his Institute in such a manner that must
be gratifying to all his patients. He examines,
advises, and recommends without charge, and the
patient after hearing his terms for treatment can
accept or reject at pleasure. In no does the
Doctor make charge unless he effects cure.
This he is able to do, because he feels the conf
dence which long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertans to that
confidence Persons afflicted with either acute or
chronic diseases. would do well to consult the Doc
tor; at all events it can do no harm, as for consul
tation he asks no fee; does he insist obed-
ence to bis advice unless the patient places himself
under his care. His Offices are on Sacramento
street, opposite the Pacific Mail Steamship Office.
