Past md Future.


For six years last past majority of the
Board of Supervisors for this county has con-
sisted of those who the Republican party
elected During that period we as Demo
Gratis had nothing to expect at their hands,
other than an honest discharge of Their duty
| for the welfare of the county. Whenever the
Board was called upon to perform political
act we had nothing 10 say. 1t would have
been of no use for Democrat to have advis-
ed, or asked anything from them, their acts
were characterized throughout with strict
partizanship. Whenever vacancy occurred
in any Office, or any appointment was to be
made, which they had the power to fill, they
did not listen to the petition of any Demo
crat, but acted under the advice of the bell
wethers of the great 'loyal" party. They
would not even create election precincts CT
appoint Inspectors and Judges of election,
except as directed by the "bosses" or their
central committe, and these were often made
regardless of the convenience of the people,
aud always with the single object of party
success. The election of November last, In
the second revenue district, secured Demo-
cratic majority in the board, which we be-
lieve entities us TO expect that these Super
visors will perform their duty strictly ard
honestly for the public welfare and with f.
deity to the party that placed them in power.
So long time transpired, during which
Democrats were not entitled to "say so, ="
that they are now watching with peculiar in
terest, the acts of their representatives in
this board. As they do, so shall they be
Judged. If they are recreant to the great in
terests of the community entrusted to them,
or false to the party that has promoted them,
they will have no cause to complain if their
acts are sharply criticised in the future.
1t is their duty to see that the property OF
the county is properly assessed. that the tax
collectors do not fail to collect all the revenue,
that some are not required to pay licenses
and taxes, while others are allowed to go
Free 1t is their duty to attend strictly to the
duties imposed on them by law; and not at
tempt to interfere with other officers or their
duties where it is not plainly required of them.
If they attend to their own legitimate busi-
ness strictly and fairly, letting things alone
with which they should not meddle, they
will satisfy the expectation of their constit-
uents, if not uf themselves.

Dg,ru BY SuIclpE.-Dr. B. d. lIorr, Of
this place. committed suicide last Tuesday
morning, about four clock, by the admins
tration of an over dose of morphine. From,
the circumstances connected with the case il
is generally believed by his friends that he
had contemplated the commission of the act
for some time previous. Financial emhar-
rassment, produced 10y excessive drinking
and iondness for gaming, is supposed to have
been the cause for the commission Of tho fatal
deed. Strange as 1t may appear, about one
hour previous to his Sef-destruction. he de-
parted from those with whom he had been
playing cards with that usual vivacitv and
cheeriulneSs of spirit for which he was SO
noted. pr. Iorr was one of the earliest pi-
oneers of our county, having settled at what
is known as "Horr's ranch" on the Tuolum-
ne river. in the year 1S49. He was mem
Der of the State Legislature at the time of the
organization of StanislauS county. and also
filled the position Of Deputy Federal Col
lector Of this and Merced counties in the
years of lS62-63. The deceased possessed
more than an average share of energy and
industry, which, combined with great fund
of varied information. and great social quail
tiles, made his company attractive and inte-
resting to those with whom he was brought
in contact. Though be may have possessed
many grievous faults land who does not p
he was generous to a sault-ever ready ahd
willing TO contribute his mite 10 alleviate the
distress and misery Of his fellow beings.
These ennoblins attributes in his character
would even cause an enemy to regret his
death.-Taolumne City Ners Fec. 12th.

Better Late than Never.

We learn that our Supervisors will meet
those Of Stanislaus county at Knights Fer
ry on the 23rd day of this month, for the pur-
pose of trying to agree upon settlement OF
the amonnt due from that county to Tuoum-
me- 1t is to be hoped that satisfactory ar
rangement may be made without our Super
yiscrs compromising any legal right that this
county has in the matter. From the manner
this debt has been treated heretofore, by
those who have acted for Stanislaus, it ap-
pears evident that we can expect nothing
from them until given US judicialy.
The condition that warrants issued for cur
rent expenses are now in, impera'ively de-
mand that something be done with this in
debtedness to make it available at the earli-
est possible moment. These warrants are
being issued in some instances at enormous
rates for supplies, and when registered, draw
the legal rate of interest, which must result
in great ard onerous burthens to our tax pay
ers in the future. Under the Statute all
moneys received in our treasury from the
Stanislaus indebtedness goes to the payment
of Current Expense Warrants, if this amount
due from that county can be realized, or put
in some definite shape, it will have the effect
Of increasing the market value of these war
rants, which cf itself would be considera-
BILE relief to the county, and also to the hold
ers Of these warrants. If at this meeting of
the Supervisors of the two counties, Tuolum-
ne is not accorded what is believed to be
cquitably and legally due to it, the ta1-pay-
ers will expect that proper measures will be
taken without delay, to enforce our rights,
and that our Supervisors will not wait until
the present District Attorneys term Of office
expires before commencing action.
