This meeting has bad good effect the
seed has been sowu that will bring forth q
bountifu' harvest. The people are beginning
TO think for themselves, are determined no
longer to be led by such men as Gorham
and Conness, and Placer in September next
will pronounce against them as unworthy the
support Of her honest free,nen.

this county as was the case in Sacramento,
taking and returning fraudulent lists for reg.
istration, but hear it intima,ed that some
thing Of that kind may lie DONE We
would therefore urge all democrats and all
honest voters, to carefully examine the Poll
Lists for fraudulent names and see that none
vote on election day except suchas are legal
voters and have been actua! residents Of the
district for 80 days before the election. Too
much vigilance in this respect cannot be ex'
ercised, particularly in the border districts
and those along and in reach Of the Free
Excursion Central Pacific Railroad. Dem.
ocra,ic Clubs throughout the County are
particularly requested to appoint Commit
tees to attend to this all important matter.
MoRE MoNGRELIsM.-On Sunday last a
negro was introduced into the Methodist
Sunday School Of this place for the avowed
purpose Of teaching class Of white chill.
dren! Some Of the little folks rebelled BY
very suddenly quitting the School. And
they done perfectly right. When white men
are willing to level themselves down to the
equality Of the negro, it is even proper for
children of their own race 10 rebuke them
1t is hardly probable that that Sunday
School will be in very f1ourishing condition
for sometime TO come. Introduce few
more negro teachers If you want the insIitu
tion bursted entirely! If it wire not 70,
mongrsl teaching such things would not hap
pen.
