PARTY LAW AND USAGES.

Since The late election we have been often
asked what position. men formerly acting
with the Republican party, who now
openly vote tie Democratic ticket would
hold in our party. We take it for granted
that all men vote for such candidates as
represent their views on the leading ques.
tions at Issue, and especially is this the case
where men leave old party associations
and vote and act with a new or the oppo-
size party. 10 the late, and in the sppr roach-
ing election ia this State and county, the
only issues 10 controversy between tho two
parties we're these: The ratification Of the
Fifteenth amendment; the importation OF
Chinese; negro suffrage; Chinese suffrage,
contingsn,ly; Chinese testimony, where white
men are parties to suits, and extravagance
in The Slate and county administrations.
The Republicans defended aud supported
and do now support, in supporting their
candidates, all these measures, and the Dem.
ocrsts denounced and opposed them and do
still oppose them. These were and are the
issues and the sides the two parties took on
them, and the man that. at the late election
voted With the Democracy, or does on
Wednesday next vote for the Democratic
candidates, openly, State and District, is a
Democrat 10 sentiment and practice, and ia
entitled, in the future to act With the party
vote in the primaries, be delegate in it'
Conventions, and a candidate % its ticket
and receive the full vote and confidence ol
The party. This i. the way we understand
The law and ussges Of tho party, and we
have been voter and partlcipator in the
primaries and Conventions of the party for
twen,y-eight years. and in no State, dstric,
or county, have We in all that time seen
sach a man denied foil fellowship and full
rights as member Of the party. The De-
mocracy fight for principle; for the good o
the whole Country, and that man who in
d"rses ito principles and aids in carrying
them out, stands on an equality with all
other members Of the party, whether he has
been with us six months or six years. We
have no hesitation in asserting that this has
been the unvarying law and practice of the
party since it's first organization. in the be-
ginning Of this century. Sometimes The
party has accorded membership and posi-
tons on its ,ickets on a simpl, pledge 10
support it's candidate and carry out the
principles, but this latter privilege is mol
generally conceded. This being the lsw
and practice it follows that those who vote
our whole ticket on Wednesday next, mus,
be accorded full membership and privilege,
in the party il they 30 elect.

told a prominent farmer there that there
was no truth in the statement that he used
the coarse and humiliating TO himsslfJ lam

evening of June goth, 1868, attributed to
him. This extract from bis speech bss been
published scores Of times, and to our knowlr
edge be bas never before denied it--indssd
bs dare not deny it over his own signature,
and it will not do now TO privately deny IL
to individuals. Oo the 24th OF last month >
the Daily Sacramento Reporter, 10 cliocbing
the Bees attempted denial on this poist
said
"Ir Judge Mcfarland will deny that he ex-
| that i, were better that our daughters be given

POLITICAL WORKING MEN.

We dissent from many if not most OF the
dogmas put forth as the creed OF the LaDorihg
Glass and as essential to the well-being OF
Working Men. Many things said as by and
for Working Men seem to us unwise ana IN
considerate but there was one suggestion In
the platform of their last meeting which meets
our hearty assent 1t is that which urges the
"sending of representatives direct from the
franks of Labor to represent Working Men In
"the councils of the Nation and State"
The professional Politcian-that is, the man
who seeks and hopes to live by ofilce-is no ht
legislator for Labor. 1t is his interest that
Offices should be multiplied and salaries in
creased the interest of Labor is exactly OPP
posite to this OF course, he will profess, and
palaver, and promise; but you might far bet
ter trust hungry dog with your dinner than
place-hunter with the interests OF Labor.
They are natural, implacable adversaries.
We do not presume that the Working Men
will act upon the truth here propounded by
their leaders. They will succunb ut last to
the grogshop manipulation and partisan catch
words by which their votes are usually con-
trolled, and give their support to the Janizares
who make politics a gainful trade and care
nothing for the inscription on flag 30 long as
it leads them to place and pelf. STILL truth
once uttered, though 1t may seem to be disre-
garded and trampled on, is living force
which will make itself felt and respected, and
future Working Men will realize, if those now
acting do not, that the place hunter, no matter
under what banner, is the natural enemy OF
Labor

ERIE.

The stockholders of the Erie Railroad are re-
ported to have met at Mr.. Fisks Opera-house
on Tuesday, unanimously reelected Messrs.
Fisk. Gould g. Co. directors, and voted that
they should proceed to classify themselves
under the act of last Winter, so that but one
fifth of them should hereafter so out of Office
annually. This of course renders their lease OF
power permanent. To make the requisite effort
in order to supersede only One-fifth OF them,
leaving their power wholly unbroken, is mani
testify hopeless To all intents aud purposes
Messrs Gould, Fisk g. Co. have absolute con-
troll of the Road, and will do with its earnings
and revenues exactly as with the daily re-
ceipts of their opera, when they run one.
We believe the following are facts, notorious
and undisputed:
|. That Erie Common Stock was worth about
70 when these gentlemen gained control of the
Road, and has been worth but 30 to Az for
long time past. Whyf
II. That they have meantime created and
sold nearly Twenty Millions of ne'o stock, using
the proceeds in their business operations
III. That they have not reduced the funded
Debt of the Company.
w. That they have paid no dividends, not
even on the Preferred stock, which was previ-
ously dividenG-paying.
If these be true-as we fully believe them
how can the stockholders have reelected these
directors without hesitation or inquiry What
must be their idea of direction that should
not be reelected, if this is one that should be
And how can such n company undertake to
