.supervisors, Report.

The Supervisors in their report for the yesr
ending March first 1869, publishedin our last
issue, saw proper to report on the Editor oi
the UNION DEMOCRAT as well as on the fnan-
cial matters of the county. We have no de-
sire to enter into controversy with that slow
moving body. We simply claim. the same
right that any other citizen has of enquiring
into county matters, and when we find this
Board of Supervisors or any other officer is
not performing his duty as prescribed BIZ
Statute, or within reasonable time, we shall
enquire into the matter and report through
the columns of this paper, without resorting
to sarcasm or inuendoes, good natured-
ly." This last report is the first in nearly
fourteen months, that this immaculate trio
have seen proper to give to the people, when
the lau requires them to publish report
every six months. The report just published
is so stale from age, that it smells like some
thing dead. Why did they wait until the
middle of August to give the people of the
county statement of their financial condi-
tion when it shoa;d have been published by
the first of April nearly FIVE months sooner
In regard to the Stanislaus debt we did say
that our Supervisors were dilatory in not
taking steps to bring it to final determine
ton, and still say that we can see noimprove-
ment on their part in regard to this matter
to the present time. The whole matter could
have been judicially settled long ago, but
these wonderful Supervisors do not appear to
know how t6 commence proceedings, one of
them says the counsel they have is not GER
tain which is the proper way to ssart--This
matter Of counsel has been terrible and
fearful thing for them to ponder over-When
any one speaks to them of this debt they
Immediately see the present District Attorney
sticking out somewhere, they fear he will get
per centage and it seems that they never
will be able to commence suit until this terri
BILE phantom passes through his term ofofice.
In the meantime creditors of the county must
hold on, to suit the action of these three wise
men. The people have provided them with
law officer and it is made their duty by
Statute to place such business as the county
is interested in, in his hands. Let them do
that ard they will have performed their duty,
and will not be troubled with sarcasm or in
uendoes from any tax payer of the county.

ScRoFuLA is taint or infection in the hu.
man organization. which weakens the vital
forces, and disorders or disarranges the func-
fection is most usually hereditary in the con-
stitntion. but it may also arise from habits OF
life, unwholesome food, etc. In time, if this
disease does 0ot show itself in an ulcerous OF
tuberculous form, it induces those other dis
eases, such as consumption, alterations of the
liver, stomach and kidneys, salt rheum
dropsy, etc. The best remedy ever yet dis
covered is ''Dr. Walkers Vegetable Tinegd'
Bf7ers." 1t will cure the disease if not too
far advanced, will eradicate the cause.

The Radicals in San Francisco being in

The Radicals in San Francisco being in a
hopeless minority, without prospect of be-
ing able to elect a single city officer have re-
sorted to one of tteir smart tricks of getting
up an Independent Ticket. This is another
instance of their becoming suddenly afflicted
with desire of seeming to want honest off.
GERS. 1t is remarkable that they show nc
such disposition where they have the power
and are in ascendant. Some of the wise ones
in this county. did their best to keep the
Radicals from nominating ticket. They

THE Work GOES BRAvELY ON.--From
our candidates who are making thorough
canvass of this county, we learn that the
Democracy are alive 10 the great issues
that are to be voted on at the coming election.
The slight dissensons that existed for time
after tile county Convention, are fast dying
out, and the whole ticket will be elected by
a handsome majority. The news received
from Mono and Inyo counties is cheering. if
we do not carry those counties, the Radical
majority will be so small that it will not
effect the success Of our Legislative ticket.
Our opponents knowing they have no possi-
bility of chance of electing any of their
county ticket, are now and will continue to
concentrate all their efforts to elect their
Senator and one cf their Assemblymen. To
accomplish this they will trade most literally
any of their county, and some of their Legis-
lative nominees. Democrats must not allow
themselves to be used for any such purpose
none of our candidates can be defeated if
every Democrat votes the ticket, they should
remember that our Radical friends care for
nothing, hope for nothing in this county, ex-
cept to elect their nominees for Legislative
position, that they may be able to sustain all
the measures of their party, and vote for the
ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment.
We have no fears of tie result but wish to
warn our friends against tue non-commital.
hypocritical trading policy Of our universal
suffrage Radicals of Tuoumne.
