please copy:
Resolred, That for the ultimate success OF
the Democratic party of the State and county,
we deem it our duty to encourage those OF
the socalled Union or Republican party who
have left that organization, upon any ground
or pretext whatever, and manifest desire
to defeat and overthrow that baneful organ

Resolved, That in our opinion, the best
policy to be pursued to secure the object OF
the preceding resolution. is 10 refrain for
this year from holding a Democratic County
Convention and. without yielding single
principle, or in the least abandoning our or
ganization, we earnestly recommend to the

BoLTERs-This appellation has become SO
common and their numbers so strong
throughout the State. that the stigma"
which the " regulars would fain attach to
it, has lost its effect. A friend who has
visited several of the precincts to the north
and west of this county, informs us that the
boilers out number the regulars three to
one The people desire change of officers,
and will have it.-Rcd Bluff Independent
Yes. The stigma which the regulars
would fain attach to it, has lost its effect
And why? A little more or less stigma"
piled on to such concern would have no
more " effect" than the adding to or taking
from Chinese stink pot, a single drachm
of its aromatic compound. And then again,
that friend that visited precincts to the north
and west of that county and found bolters
so thick, where did he 60? He must have
travelled north of the State line, and west
from there to some region we know not of.
They are certainly not in this county nor
HUMBOLDT, nor Klamath, nor Del Norte. If
the Organ means precincts in the northern
part of Tehama-we have but to say they
are not there either After all the fuss,
don't the Independent mean that delightful
region south and adjoining Tehama, where

POLITICAL REFoRM.-That' what the edi.
tor OF the Independent calls boiling, and says
the people in several counties in this State
are pressing it. Now this is decidedly rich.
A paper that acknowledged itself forced to
take issue with the regular nominees, simply
because, first: they would not disgrace
themselves by advertising in sheet that had
stultified itself; and, second because there
is no principle involved in. the contest but
= scramble for Office With this record, and
still a worse one-that of having broadly
contradicted itself many times-it cries out
political REFORM Why, if the Organ was
not as blind as it is silly and unprlncipied, IL
could see that the reform is being worked our;
not, as it intimates, By backward steps. Dut
by rapid strides in progress, and yer ny the
influence little-of that same journai,
the Union party is being reformed-purihed
by the Topping off Of just such rotten, worth
less limbs as the boilers organ. 1t and KIN
dred journals have found their appropriate
sphere. The pure elements of Unionlsm
never did agree with them-nor need they
now cry reform Those journals that are
governed by principle will attend to that,
and reform them even as wolves are reformed
or Piutes made good Indians.

Explanation.

Mr.. Potter. Federal Assessor, has called
our attention to the law governing Internal
Revenue officers The income tax of officials
is deducted from their pay whenever they are
settled with This is all right so far as Mr..
P's salary is concerned but Mr.. P. has o
fine farm, and we had hoped he might be
the recipient of few odd hundreds
from that source.
Our reference to Mr.. l.. Hughes, of
French Guch, is explained. too, by the fact
of his having been greatly loser at the fire in
that place in 1864.
1t is also stated to us that the income Of
of Mr.. Levy is covered in the assessment on
the lIighlanl Company. 4
Mr. Israel Isaacs, of the firm Of 1saacs 4
Bro, desires us to say that one of their firm
only pays here-the other pays his income
tax in San Francisco, where he resides.
Mr.. Charles Camden also pays income on
his roads by reporting directly to the De-
partment as required by law. which accounts
for his income appearing so small on the
county list His income from all resources
amounts to S5,l92.
We cheerfully clear up all as far as heard
from. nor did we mention names with a view
to reflect on individuals whose names did
not appear on the assessment roll but we
do believe now that many could be found in
this district who are liable to income tax,
whose names do not appear
Mr.. P. will be ready to make another re-
port after while, and it may cover delin-
quences. If in our opinion, it does not. we
shall give the matter close scrutiny and re-
port accordingly Officials are expected to
do their whole duty. and if they do not, it is
expected by our readers that we do ours in
making it known. We shall do our duty
P. S.-Since writing the above we learn
many have reported small incomes to the
Assessor Let the work 90 on.

HITTING WILD Although we have plain
" told the Red Bluff Independent, and all
others interested, that Mr.. Vail was not the
editor of this paper, and had no control over
its columns. vet the Independent in its
boiling frenzy, strikes again at Vail-a man
entirely an outsider in this contest. Such
persistency in the wrong is neither gen.
tlemanly nor professional nor is it calculat-
ed to advance the cause the Independent so
frantically advocates. If there is anything
so odous in our columns as to call for per,
sonal abuse through the columns of our
contemporary, let it be piled on the right man.
The name of the editor can be found in the
appropriate place. Hope we will not feel
called upon to refer to this matter again.
