CIVIL WAR IN New JERSEY. We
find the following in New York paper
of yesterday
. Within a short half hours ride of
the metropolis, in the foreign State of
New Jersey, lies furnishing village,
rejoicing in the beautiful name of Eliz-
abeth, and claiming large amount of
territory. A portion of this territory
becoming dissatisfied, seeded, and in
a short time formidable competitor
arose in the village of Westfeld. With
in q short distance Of these two ambi-
tions villages, is a small mountain,
raising its head 1000 feet above the le-
vel of the plain below On this noun
tain is O reservoir, which the ambi-
tious Jerseyites say viii furnish as much
water as Croton Lake Elizabeth
claims this mountain and its reservoir
Ditto Westfeld. Neither feels inclined
to 'relinquish its claim. Elizabeth is
old, staid, and settled, and is not up to
the tricks of Young America. West
field is young, rising, ambitions, and
fully up to the exigencies of the occa
sion. Following the example of other
corporate bodies, it resolves itself into
a committee of the whole. and the con-
sequence is call for mass meeting to
be held at Westfeld, (to-night,) at
which time measures will be taken to
secure a presumption on that ranch,
or carry the war into Elizabeth AS
considerable of the wealth and solid
standing of New York is interested in
the struggle, lively time may be ex-
pected.

FACTS WORTH CONSIDERATION BY
PROPERTY OWNERS AND TAXPAY
ERS.

Economy has never been one of the Demo
cratic virtues. The property owners and
tax payers Of Shasta doubtless remember the
heavy debt created against the County while
under the administration and control of the
Democratic party. Up to March. 1864, the
County was under the rule of officials chosen
by that organization. and up to that time our
local interests were Aourishing. resaurces
and revenues large. ami population numer.
Gus. Under all the circumstances exis'ing
at the time, the County should have been
not only free from debt, but also had large
surplus of fund. in the Treasury. Reference
tn the County Treasures report of Decem.
her 18th. 1868. just previous to the installation
of the first set of Union officials, will show
that the indebtedness of the County at that
date fooied up a total Of Sixty-Seven Thou
sand Four Hundred and Six,y-Ssven Dollars.
1861. .467. IL : ea -
When dc urioa Republican officers took
control in March, 1864. population was be-
ginning to diminish rapidly. leaving for
Idahn. Nevada and elsewhere. and nearly all
descriptions of taxable proper was greatly
reduced in salue. The revenues of course
fell of immensely. All things considered
the great..change in TIE general prosperity Of
the County-the Union officials would have
dune we'll to have run the County Govern
ment without increasing the debt-but they
have done far better than that. An examin-
alton IF Treasurer ChaDdler's Report dated
March lst, 1869, shows the total indebted
ness Of the County to be Thirry-Eig.t Thou
sand Two Hundred and Sevenry-Three Dol
lars 1885, ,273. Ia reduction since December
18th, 1868, of Twenty Nine Thousand One
Hundred and Ninety Four Dnllars, 1895, ,I94. J
OF this amount, Seven Thousand and Ninety
One Dollars was paid during the years ending
March lat, 1869
The difference between the Democratic and
Republican officials is, that the former, who
held the reins during the most prosperous
times. steadily increased the County indebt-
edne-s. while the latter administered affairs
during hard times and still constantly de.
creased the debt.
The Union party certainly have reason to
feel proud of the record made by our officials.
and every member of the organization should
exert himself 20 secure continuation Of
that economical Government. which expe
rience shows can only be had under Repub-
lican auspices.
Let the property owners and taxpayers of
the County. irrespective of party, cast their
ballots for the Union candidates and in so
doing contribute to their own interests and
the best interests Of the County.
The only issue before the people is the
election of competent and efficient local off.
cials. and voters should not permit itinerant
demagngues to lead them uff on false side
issues which are gptten up to mislead the
unwary. and which have no bearing on any
matters that can be effected in any manner
by our votes.

Why the Southern r eople Accept and
Adopt the Fifteenth Amendment.

While the whites of S"uth C .rolina, North
Amendment and vote for it's ratification, the
Northern demagogues oppose it, for the SIM
pie reason that they have no real issue on
which to oppose the triumphant Republican
party, whose just policy even the lately re-
bellious South accepts. Tue reason why the
whites of the States mentioned favor the
Amendment, is because they look upon it as
Q measure Of protection-ns a boon of mercy
and friendship offered them by the victorinus
party Of the Government. Any man of in
telligence has only to look at the last census
that Of 1860, to discover why the Southern
white people favor the Amendment. as they
have just done by voting sold for it in Vir.
ginia. By the census it will be seen that
the population Of Suuth Carolina stood Tw.
Hundred and Ninety One Thousand Whites.
while Blacks numbered Fur Hundred and
Twelve Thousand-the latter prepnnderating
by One Hundred and twenty Que Thousand.
By the same authority we find the Whites of
~-~sTTf fPA llunureu anu
Fifty Three Thousand, while the Blacks foot
up Four Hundred and Thirty Seven Thou
sand-majurity of over One Hundred Thou
sand. In Louisiana. Alabama and Florida
we find the White and Black population
nearly equally divided. Now the great fear
Of the White people of tin Sc States is Negr.,
domination and supremacy They fear that
the Negros. by virtue of their superior nuu
bers, may control, and pass laws oppressive
and proscriptive tnward them. These Whites
fear that under the pressure of Negro ma
jnrities, State acts may be passed discrimi
mating against. and disqualifying them from
vuting on account of their belonging tn Il .
phite race. But If the Amendment Is ratified,
they know it will do away with that danger,
race. This is the reason why the South
unites with the Republicans upon this meas
ure. and repudiates the Democracy, which is
fighting without any real issue, and only
maintains sickly existence by general fault
finding. M intelligent Southern man or
friend of the white people of the South. can
consistently oppose the Amendment The
bogus Democrats Of the North. in bucking
against the Amendment are working in d.
rect husslisy to what the Southern Whites
now want-protecfinn against future Negro
domination and prescription. Think these
points overi there is food for reflection in
them.

DemOractic Gems.

We preserve the following Democratic
gems from the speeches made at the Court
House on the 18th. One speaker said: "If
| was back in Virginia, and was out in the
woods with nv rife. and should see fine
deer one hundred yards IF. and one of them
Radicals two hundred yards of, would shout
at the Radical rascal first, every time. It's
human nature"
The same speaker said
"Ingratitude is the basest of all crimes
IF you Irish and Germans vote with the Rad
icals hope they will rivet chains on you as
firm and tight as any blacksmith can rivet
them. and that the Radicals may sink you
below tho level Of Africans"
That is the real Democratic sentiment in
relation tn naturalizel citizens. Tne leaders
of that party say, vote our ticket, do as we
Command you. or we hope chains and deg
redation may he your PORTION. Republicans
say to fureign.hnrn-we bid you welcome
~ this land of freedom and free institutions
we invest you with American citizenship
and freely give you equal rights with our
selse 8; heucefurth that which is to your
interest is also to our interest,-examine for
yourselves. make up your own minds. and
v"re whatever you think is just and right.
without fear or favor Naw which party is
the faire<t and most reasonable?
Another orator stated that Wendell Phil.
lips had said that he could not die happy
until negro woman became mistress of the
White II ,use. Said orator then assumed a
turkey-.obbler strut. and in tragic tenes star
tied the audience with the distressing ihfur-
nation that he. orator aforesaid, could never
die happy until all such men as Wendell
were dead mo, never-'nary time He
faile !, however, to inform the audience that
the only time such dreaded calamity as
he deprecated ever threatened the country,
was when the Democratic party elected
Richard NJ. johnson Of Kentucky, Vice
President of the United States. and he took
his negro wife on to Washington-thus hav.
ing her on hand to do the honors of the
White House in case the President should
happen to drop nff.
