HARp1y FArR.-The Sacramento Cht0n OF
Monday last attempts comparative state
ment of property and population between
Placer and Solano counties which Is undouht-
edlv we'll meant and intended to convey
correct idea of the progress of the two coun-
ties From some false notions of the census
Marshal. Morris, we could not obtain what
we desired in statistics from our deputy, but
we can give the Union a better idea from
the assessment rolls. There are now assessed
for taxes in Placer, for the year 1870, ST.
237 900, and the supplemental list will in
crease the amount to near So 900, ,UOO OF
assessed value in property, and give Solano
Sc, 500 900 which is about the correct figure,
Multiply these amounts by three and we flnd
that Placer should have, by the census re-
port, $15 100000 worth of property and
Solano SO 500, 900, about what the actual
report gives her Deduct from Solano the
extra population in Vallejo given to her by
the Government works at Mare Island, and
the terminus of Railroad tapping and doing
the business of the rich and populous coun-
ties north and east of it, and the comparison
will be wonderfully modified. In our item
referred to by the Union we were particular
to state that the Assessor and Census Mar
shal in Placer was one and the same man,
and that people did avoid and run from him.
We do believe there are 14,OOO people in
this county, and our register, our vote, and
property valuation will bear us out i. that
belief.

THE New LAND DIsTEIoT.-The Nevada
Daily Transcript, after quoting portion OF
our article urging the formation of new
Land District says:
"These figures may be correct, but if another
Land Office is to be created why not locate IT
near the geographical centre of the district by
selecting Grass Valley or Nevada? Nevada county
will have larger number of claims to obtain
titles to than the entire balance of the district
II central location and the accommodation OF
the largest numper of persons is desirable the
new Land Office ought to be in Nevada county
We do not propose to discuss, at present,
the question of the location of the Office, and
if the editor of the Transcript will lay the
map before him and look at the routes of
travel, the time of arrival and departures,
the area of territory, etc, he will see that
Auburn is the centre, all these facts con-
eidered and thus save each of us the trouble
of discussing that question. Nevada is a
large and wealthy county containing 1877 $50
acres, but Placer has 992, 900 acres, and
leads Nevada in quantity of land 254, ,72O
acres, while Sierra about equals that portion
of Ell Dorado doing business at Auburn.
But this matter will be easily settled; and
what we want first is the Land District and
she Office at the point that will best suit the
whole people having business with it. The
National Gazette of Wednesday last makes,
without intending it, weighty argument in
favor Of the new office, officers and district.
This would be one of the best Land Districts
in the State and the positions of Register
and Receiver, honestly conducted, would
more than reach the extreme figures allowed
by law which is high salary for the duties
required.

CONSISTENT. The Sacramento Uni0n goes
for crushing the young French Republic OF
leaving it crippled and shorn of its domain,
cursed with debt and bound in chains that
would forever deprive it of power or intlu-
ence for good to the cause of free govern
ments in Europe. 1t supports A. A. Sar-
gent, the creator of the c. p. r. r monopoly
and the instrument who gave it vast land
and timber domain ruinous to Placer, Ell
Dorado and Nevada counties, but curses the
creature Of Sargent's creation. 1t justifes
armed Federal interference with the right of
suffrage in the State elections, but was a
bowling popolar sovereignty sheet and sup
ported Douglass for President. in 1860
What the publishers of the Uaton may be
we don't know, but their hired writers are
monarchists at heart.
The Union is in condition to be independ-
ent, and should speak out its real sentiments.

CONTENTS OF A CALToSYAS's PocKETs,-
A returning Californian fell upon the streets
of A'pinwall lately, probably from the effects
of too much augua denta, and was kindly
cared for by two Of his countrymen They
took him to safe place, emptied his pock-
cts and made an inventory of the contents
and deposited them IN safe place until he
would get sober. The banana Star gives
the contents as follows:
"Two purses, pockctbook, l paper smok-
ing tobacco, pipes, 2 large punches ofkeys,
L baggage check, a steerage ticket, papers
of cigars, fereotypes, 1 photograph, lot of
fishhooks, bill of Exchange, about three
dimes in each pocket, programme of perfor-
nance of a California minstrel troupe, 3
twenty dollar gold pieces, | dictionary, l Bi-
BILE, 2 boxes Of matches, dozen accounts of
steamers daily run, quart bottle of rum,
and large paper full of guava marmalade. "

Nor ACCEPTED. semi-oficial an
nouncement by the Grass Valley Union that
Hon. VIM. Watt declines to allow his name
to be used in connection with the future
Govenorship of this State is not accepted by
the Democracy of Placer as final or conclu-
sive in the premises. Haight being out of
the field, Watt was our man, and the man
of the people of this county, and we believe
of the honest portion of the party all over the
State, and we shall not now treat his name
and claims as being absolutely out of the
contest. That Mr.. Watt did say that he
was not a candidate, must be so understood
previous to or in the Convention, that his
business matters and private nclinations all
tended in another direction and that all these
were the utterances and outgivings of an
honest and sincere heart we are bound to
believe; and yet these expressed desires con-
tain no uHimatum, and leaves the question
Just where we desire it should be. Mr..
Watt, who is the soul of honor, the true
type of an honest gentlemen with predomi-
nant executive ability, is within the call Of
the people of California and cannot be deal
to their demands should the emergency, in
their opinion, arise, and the demand be un-
doubted This places Mr.. Watt where al
his true friends desire him to be, and where
we intend to insist he is, and be governed ii
our actions accordingly.

WELL PUT-In speaking of the foolish
report put in circulation that Governor
Haight had said if majority of the Senators
would pledge themselves to him in writing
that they would do no other business but
district the State he would call al extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, the Grass Valley
Union pertincntly remarks:
"'rhe fact of asking Senators to make any
agreement of the kind spoken Of would be
an imputation on the honesty of such Sena-
tors which we hope not man in that body
would brook. The Governor, by such a
proceeding, would say, in effect, you are
needed at the capital to make what | consid-
er necessary alterations in the law Of the
land. | would be glad if You were to make
such alterations as conceive to be necessary
| know you too well to trust Your honesty
and discretion in making only such alterations
as | think proper. Your instincts are so
bad that you will do more than tell you to
do. If YOU will, however, give me a writ
ten pledge verbal pledges not taken at this
otfce) not to do more than | tell you, you
may come together, in legislative capacity -
We are sure that Governor IIaight has made
no such suggestion. Written pledgess or
any other sort of pledges, asked in Such
connection, would be an insult to Senators.
The assertion that two-thirds of the Senators
would sign such a pledge argues the entire
want of self respect ON the part of Senators.
The men who would submit to such an
imputation on their honesty or cafacty, for
the sake of getting chance at a few days
pay, would surely violate any pledge Aey
could make"
