DUTCH FLAT CORRESPONDENCE.


the community being in vogue just now,
propose, you being wiling, to have a gossip.
ping chat with you about matters and things
in general, and German Level" in particu-
| lar.
The main absorbing topic Of the day, out
side of politics, is the Cooie question. La.
boring men seriously ask themselves what is
to become Ct them and their families If the
present system Of employing Chinese labor
ors on public works, mines, etc, is continued.
1t is evident NLi;o man cannot support
himself and family on one dollar and quar-
ter a dav,-this being the wages paid gem
orally to Coolies, consequently, either be
or the Chinese will have to yield. Numbers
talk of leaving already, 10 seek some other
place, where white man may have chat
left, but where will they 50 in this State
and not find tha, Chinamen have supplanted
them! Had they not better remain, and
find their remedy at the ballot.box, and by
electing men 10 Office who would legisa,e
friendly to them, and who will NOT betray
their constituents by worshippng the golden
call, and also are moa0 only TO be found in
the ranks of that good,old party, who always
stood the friend and champion of the poor
man, the glorious old Democratic party.
Next on the tapis is the Little York Wag.
on Road, which is progressing faey, and is
SO far, an improvement upon the former mule
trail, it is about wide enough for middling
sized wheelbarrow. However, the bridges
built by Mr.. Lantells are good subst antial
structures, aud decidedly the best feature Of
the work.

what Of it? Don't we pay for the right Of
damning at the rate Of $500 per annum poll
lax to meet Interest Oh Railroad Bonds fas-
tened upon US by the Repubs Strange The
most bitter complainans are they who most
tiercely attacked those who could not see
that Railroad question in their light. But
really very few will deny that the Railroad
has been a blessing to this community. Our
little town would ere now have shared the
fate Of other mining camps. Our mer,
chants could not spread SO extensively, had
they had no other customers than the few
miners. Mill and ditch men, hotel keepers
and mechanics, have all, more or less, de-
rived some advantage, and today, the neces-
sarles Of life for man and beast are cheaper
than for many a year back.
We are all anxious to see the "Great Reg
lister, NOV along with the venerable County
Judge and Clerk Or uice gersa, don't care
which. What a heavy load this Great Reg
lister is for the Repuls. Chucke away 1t

Dutch Flat-for a consideration.
German Level must be approaching new
era to secure the services OF a man who EN-
bodies distinguished partisan politician and
minister Of The gospel, whose mission il
should be TO reconcile differences and pro
mote peace and happiness. Evil disposed
persons whisper that the Reverend Lecturer
is an aspirant for Congressional honor, and
for reasons Of his own, at the coming Con
venton, would rather bail from Placer
County, Sacramento having other candidates
Then look what a glory for Dutch Flat if it
could produce aCongressman-al great and
good men come from Dutch FIat,-do we

We'll, | presume | have trespassed upon
your patience long enough this time, posi-
bly, may inaict some more gossip in the iu,
lure. Till then, NIX COME ROUSE.
