Alabama.
LIBERTY OF SPEECH DENIED-sCENEs OF
1860 AND 1861 RE-ENACTED.

OPELIKA, Ala, Oct. 2, 1868.
Mr. EDrToR:-A political gathering
was convened at Nixburg, Coosa Co., AL
ALBANIA, on the 9th Of last month. The
speakers were the Seymour and Blair
eiector and the Grant and Colfax elect
or for the third district of Alabama, who
proposed to address the people present
upon the political issues of the day.
Judge Anderson, Seymour and Blair
elector, very Indifferent speaker, had
his say and retired, but as soon as Hon.
X. ). Heffiin, Grant and Colfax elector.
had mounted the stand to speak, he was
greeted by the following epithets, /" Dry
up you ID traitor; we don't want to
hear you, " :" You was a traitor to the
South during the war" "You went
North IN company with Governor Smith
and other traitors, and assisted ike id
blue bellled 4rnkees in subjugating the
South"
Observing that the Judge was posses
sed OF too much dignity and selfposses-
sion to notice them, they took up anoth-
er mode of annoyance more in keeping
with the idea of chivalry, to wit: throw
ing rotten eggs at the speaker.
After the meeting adjourned, Judge

Governors Message.

The governors message is very SEN
sible and business-like document. Sound
ON national affairs, it also presents very
gratifying statement of the financial af-
fairs of our State. 1t also presents an
important recommendation as to the as
sessment of taxes, and the duties of list
ers. We commend this part of it to par
ticular attention.

The management Of the Indian reservation at
La Paz is subject to much severe comment on
all sides.
So reads San Francisco dispatch to the Sac
ramento Union of the 7th. If in this respect the
La Paz reservation is any exception to reserva.
tons generally, we want to know and make a
note of it. The management of Indian reserYa-
tons in this section of the State are and have
been continually subject to "severe comment "
ever since they were established, and if very
small part of the multiplied testimony in regard
to their management is correct, we pity the In
diaps. # incorrect, the reservations and pan-
ayers, both military and civil, are most terribly
slaldered. By the way, we hear that the red
population of Hoopa valley is to be augmented
by the removal thereto of the Indians heretofore
cared for on the Smith River reservation. This,
all circumstances considered, should be crafty
ing intelligence to the people of Humboldt,
Klamath and Trinity. If not properly cared and
provided for on the reservation, they can draw
on the already impoverished population of these
counties, as here .ofore.

How THE CONSPIRACY TO DEFRAUD SHoUtD BE
PUNISHED. &c When we take into consideration
all the circumstances of this case-the fact that
the popular electors voted for Grant and Colfax
and only constrgctyely for Hoffman that there
was no other Hoffman running, at all ; that the
law makes provision for clerical errors that
this thing vas cooked up and kept secret by the
Governor and Secretary, and was found out only
by accident that the decision of the Court was
almost Immediately against them-we cannot put
down the conviction that these persons have
been in collision with the Democratic election
gamblers, either through political sympathy or
for purposes more reprehsnsible, aud until they
shall have cleared up this matter and contra
dicted evidence which seems peremptory and I'M
mistakable, they must be held in the situation of
men who have been discovered, baffied and dis
graced in official malefaction. If the affair does
not assume more favorable aspect by subse-
quent investigation, there can be no doubt that
both the Governor and Secretary Of State ought
to be impeached for conspiracy, by the next Leg
islature. 1t seems but toosclear that they have
attempted the highest crime which they are ca
pable of committing public officers-an at
tempt to thwart and defeat the will of the people
at a popular election" -Oakiaqd Tyasscrpt. I.

How THE IRRsGuLARIrY" WAS DISCOVERED
Northern people of Union proclivites will be
glad to learn that to Hon. L. NJ. Foulke, of Sis
kiyou, is the party indebted for the discovery Of
the pusillaaimous attempt to count ont Hoffman
1t seems that Mr.. Foulke asked permission to be
present at the canvass of the returns, and al
though Secretary Nichols at first demurred, per-
mis- sion vas granted him to "can occasionally
and if any irregularities occurred information
thereof would be given" He did so, and "oc-
casonaily'' enough to satisfy himself that some
underhanded scheme was foot to change the
result from what it legally should be. So Ger.
tain was he that something was wrong, that he
consulted counsel, through whose persistence
the villainy was finally discovered: While the
Secretary of State and his abettors in this NEAR
act are cursing their i'll success, Union mer
should gratefully remember the citizen who frs
discovered the attempt at official treachery.

Progress Of the Agricultural, ana Deoine
OF the Mining Counties. =

The Alta of Decsnber 4th has very interest.
ing article in regard to the progress and decline
Of the counties Of this State. In 1852, when the
first vote for President was cast, there were
thirty-two counties, at the head Of which Stood
Ell Dorado, with IL 900 votes. Sacramento then
polled only 800 votes less than San Francisco,
and Caiaveras, Placer, Nevada aud Tuolumne
had. each over 5000 votes. OF nine counties
WHICH had more than 5000 votes, there was only
one in which no gold mining was done. Now
there are fifty counties, nine of which cast over
5000 votes at the last election, and only three
Nevada, Placer and Ell Dorado-are in the
mountains. Of five mining counties which bad
more than 5000 votes sixteen years ago, only
one-Nevada-has that number now Sierra
cast her largest Presidential. vote ,4OO-in
1856, and Siskiyou reached her highest voting
figure in that year.
Since 1856 the decline in the mining counties
has been steady. Ell Dorado has fallen from
1897 in 1856, to 3,a57 in 1858; Tuolumne, from
5000 to 1909; Amador, from 1908 to 1884
Butte, from 4,sl7 TO 2,524; Calaveras, from
4,68l to 2,l93; Klamath, from 1854 to 324
Mariposa, from 2,lsl to l,ll9; Placer, from
$500 to 322a Plumas, from 1000 to l ,266.;
Shasta, from 2,7s7 to 1884; Siskiyou, from
4,526 to 1873, and Trinity from 2,osl to 500.
The ratio Of decline has been about the same in
the last four years as in the eight years from
1856 to 1864.
In the farming counties of the Sacramento
basin there has not been much change. Tuol-
umne, Fresno, Colusa, MERGED, Stanslaus, SUIT
ter and Yolo have but little more than held their
own during the eight years last past. San Fran
cisco has risen from IA 4l5 votes in 1861 to %
765 in 1858; Santa Clara, from 1924 in 1852, to
4,637 in 1868; Sonoma, from 74l to 4,2Ol So
lano from GIL to 1854; Napa, from 4S4 to ,436;
Marin, from 30l to 98l Contra Costa from
1000 to 1928; Santa Cruz from 492 to 1890
Monterey, from 800 to l,243; San Diego from
2l2 to 1854; Santa Barbara, from 100 to 1923; San
Luis Obispo, from l24 to 7ls, and Los Angeles
from l, OH to 1884. Alameda, set off from Con-
ira Costa since 1852, cast 3,l12 votes this year,
and Mendocino formerly part of Sonoma,
1923 votes. The Alta argues that the railroad
era, now fairly commenced, will give new
stimulus to business of every kind and that in
due time all parts of the State will feel the ben
efcal influences and increase in wealth and pop

tactics in the present campaign against the hos
tile Indians of the Plains, bid fair to prove sue
cessful. Unlike Hancock, he thinks winter the
best season to fight Indians successfully. Gen.
Custar's command fought the Cheyennes on
the Washita river, Indian Territory, on the 2sth
of November, killing one hundred and fifty war
rors and taking 6fty prisoners. Captain Lewis
Hamilton, of his command, and big Kettle, u
on the Isdian side, were killed. The Indians lost
all their lodges, provisions, animals, arms and
ammunition. 1t would be very satisfactory to
the people of this coast if the Government would
distribute . few Custars in the Indian-scourp.d
districts. 1t would be a new thing.

contest, with the approximate number of votes
given in each State, should be known in the
