For Supervisor

OF the First District, S. L. Prindle, ESQ.,, is
the Union nominee. While only the electors
of the Fourth and Sixth townships have a
voice in the selection of proper person to
be entrusted with the management of our
county affairs, it is matter in which every
tax payer of Calaveras is teecly Interested.
We are oppressed III an c.,o- .acas indebt-
edness and a Iuincus rate 6 t-ssticD. and
a knowledge of these facts d. ;,e invest
1nent of capital in our county mare han any
thing else. There is 10 Goub: tat thst this
depioIable condition of Our financial affairs
is in great measure owing to the il cora Pc
tencey of those who have had the manag ge.n ci.t
of the county's business placed in theic
hands. Money enough has been collected
since the formation of this county to pay the
expenses Of administration twenty times
over; but it has been misapplied, while the
creditors of the county, as well as property
owners. have to suffer in consequence. Now,
however, with the aid which the non ex-
emption of any species of property, the ap-
preparation of the entire Foreign Miners
tax will afford us. together with the great
reduction of the officers salaries and other
expenses of the county, we can clear our
selves of debt in few years. provided the
revenue collected is properly disbursed and
the business matters of the county closely
attended to. In order to secure these desir-
able ends We must elect only capable, CON-
petent, Trustworthy men to the office of Su-
pervisor. No better selection for this re-
sponsible position could have been made
His character for honesty, integrity and a
faithful performance of his duties. stands as
high as that of any citizen of the county
a man of unexceptionable habi.s-while his
fitness for the position, in a business point
of view, are undisputed and uneeualed. Mr..
Prindle is not professional ofiice-seeker hav-
ing neverbefore been a candidate for prefer
ment. His present nomination was forced
upon him by the people of the District, who
are anxious to see if something cannot be
done to relieve Us of the burden of oppressive
taxation. Every man who pays cent of
taxes will vote tcr s. L. Prindle.

The CHRONICLE respectfully informs its
readers, patrons and the public generally,
that this is its seventeenth birthday, this be-
ing number one of the eighteenth volume.
Owing to the pressure upon our columns we
are compelled to omit the usual review of
tine past, condition of the present and pros
poets of the future, as well as the self-lauda-
tons which editors usually indulge in upon
such occasions. We will simply remark
that the CHRONICLE stands firmly "upon

condition, nor had less to hope for in the
future. Politically. we see no reason for
changing the opinions which we have held
since the breaking out of the rebellion. To

not, can atone for past omissions if they
think proper. We enter upon the arduous
