ocrats have been successful by some fifteen
or twenty thousand majority, eleeting nearly
cwo-thirds of both branches of the Legisla-

A STRANGE DEFENSE.

Judge. Reardan has decided in the case OF
NJ. Andrews VS.. Pratt ct. ais, (the case
where the Supervisors voted themselves S4,-
500 for two or three days service in parting
with the, county Railroad Stock, y against the
Supervisors, so far as the law in the premi-
ses is concerned This decision is just what
was expected by every one conversant with
the case and what the law demanded This
decision seems to have hit our neighbor just
where he lives, and he treats his readers to
quite lengthy article, intended, if it has
any application, to show that if one man acts
the rascal all others should do the same
thing. The figures show that j. Il. Rogers,
Ed. Patton, w. ID. Madden, NJ. Fanncn
and Z. NJ. Banvard received from the coan-
ty some 81, 900 for six months serv ice per-
formed in connection with the issuance of the
$3.50, 900 Railroad bonds, or, say an aver
age Of some S4OO each. These men are ali
alive and can answer for themselves, if they
took more than their services were worth
but to show the animus of the article we will
give an instance Of the labor performed by
one Of these parties, and what he received
for it. Mr.. Banvard, as Treasurer, signed
and numbered, and kept an account of the
same, in this six months, five hundred Rail
road bonds and twenty thousand coupons,
making t,Certy thousand fre hundre differ
ent obligations signed and numbered in in
stallments of ten per cent for which he re-
ceived $4O7-not quite t,co cents for each
bond and coupon signed and numbered. eve
make these figures from our own recollec-
tions of the law and the duties of the Treas
urer.) We suppose the other payments to
Patten, Rogers, Farnon and Madden
would show that they had been about as ex-
travagantly over paid as Banvard. Who
would believe that any man of good sense
would publish figures like these in the StripeS
that would react and make him look as
ridiculous as these do that editor. a short
horse is easy curried, therefore, we dismiss
this matter hoping that our neighbor, the
next time he attempts to justify county
swindling by comparison will have better
luck.

FALSE lNsINUATIoN. The Stripes insnuates
that we desired to be one of the Commission
ers to dispose of the stock of the county in the
C.P.RR. The editor of that paper was not
here at the time that matter was talked Of
and therefore can know nothing of the facts,
except from information, and for that reason
we ask him very candidly for the names Of
his informants. We have something to say
about the matter and desire to know who
sss the responsible parties SO as not to impli-
cate those who are innocent. We are seri-
Gus in asking for those names, as it is mat
ter of Importance to us and some who stand
high in the Republican party. Give us the
names and we will attend to the matter at
once.

couplings, or ball and socket joints with
improve ments, and for radal plates for use

mtringements of the above mentioned patents
We understand that the cases above cited

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-The Stripes pub
fishes what it is pleased to call the County
Treasurer Report under the head of "new
advertisements " Does the Supervisors pay
for this publication when there is no law for
it? We publish it, and publish it correctly,
which is.more than the Stripes does, as a
matter of information. This would he rob-
berry of the Treasury and should be looked
to.

SUSPENDED. - The California Express,
published at Martinez by Alex. Montgomery,
has suspended publication for the present
The Express was not remunerative to its
publisher, and for that reason alone, and MOI;
Tor want of means or membranes on the
office did its publication cease. The ErpreSs
was one of the truest and boldest democratic
papers on the coast, and its editor and pro-
pretor, Alex. Montgomery, was and is, one
of the old Democratic guard, who never
wavered or betrayed shadow of weakening
but fought always in season and out of sea-
son with bis face to the foe. He has been
too long in the Democratic editorial harness
to now cease Lis labors, and we shall look
for and hail his reappearance ere many weeks

GRAND GIFT CONCERT. We renew the
adv, rtise ment of the Mercantile Lottery Con
cert this week, and call the attention of oul
readers to thu irlcts rs set forth in our col
umns. The law under which the drawing
takes place has withstooo the assaults of the

no further doubts exist as to the actual and
honest drawing of the prizes. Five hundred
thousand dollars in gold coin is to be drawn
by the ticket holders. The unsold portion
Of the tickets are now, since all the legal
points have been settled, in favor of the Ii

WHAT LIr.-Some of the Republican
papers are trying to create the impression
that the Democracy sympathise with Napo-
leon. 1t must be desperate cause that re-
luires such lying. Democrats sympathise
with no crowned head or despot of no nation
or blood on earth. Their sympathies are
with the oppressed, downtrodden and over
taxed masses the world over, and for that
reason they are fighting the corrupt, tyran-
ncal horde at Washington and its mnons
Ill over tbs country. Democrats do sym
pathise with Frenchmen and with Prussians
md pray to God that this war may end il
he dethronement of every despot in Europe
but they have no love for Monarchs, tie they
Napoleons or Williams. This is the kind of
sympathy that pervades every true demo
cratic heart in the land, and those who don't
feel these emotions should be subjects and
not citizens of a free country.

RAILROAD SUBSIDIES.

The question of aiding private associations
in the construction of railroads or other i'm
provements is prominent one before
the people and courts of this State at the
present time. Our late Legislature became
so demoralized on this question, and SEEM
ingly in the complete power Of greedy, grasp
ing monopolsts and would-be monopolists as
70 threaten the ruin of large portion of the
counties, and but for the timely interposition
of Governor Haight, backed by few hon
est and independent Senators, would have
accomplished the purposes so far as its pow
er extended. The only question outside Of
expediency to be considered is the power Of
one man to vote away anothers property for
that which is not legitimate governmental
expenses. No more monstrous proposition
could be made than to propose to authorize a
mere majority of any community to vote
away the property Of the minority for private
purposes, and yet, this is the whole question
at issue Upon this question the Democra-
cy took its stand at the foundation of the
Government, and there it must remain, to
be worthy of its name and lineage. The De
mocracy have always contended for stric,
construction of the organic laws of both Ma
tional and State Governments, while the op-
position have as persistently contended for a
latitudinous construction of Constitutions. A
case is now pending IN the Supreme Court
which arose in Stockton, which will settle
the whole question, so far as this Supreme
Court is concerned, but not so far as the peo-
pie and taxpayers are affected in the future.
-Four of the Supreme Court Judges are there
rs Democrats, placed there because they
were believed to hold to the doctrines OF
strict construction, and if they do not so hole
N this case the party will simply have made
lmistake in electing them, and must remedy
the error at the first opportunity. General
McC Connel maintained in his argument Of
ihis case that the Legislature held all powers
not granted to the other branches Of the
Government or expressly reserved to the peo-
pie, while the true doctrine is, that all pow
ars not granted by the Constitution are
reserved to the people. We do not propose
here to enter into general discussion of the
question, but to simply say in so many words
that that Judge who decides that the MAORI
ty of any community can vote away the prop
erty of the minority for private purposes, and
that there are no restraints upon the powers
Of the Legislature except the prohibitions
named in the Constitution, is neither Dem
ocrat nor a safe man on the Supreme bench.
