INCONSISTENT Acrs OF RADICAL LEADERs
THEY FAVOR CooLIEIsM.-We 6Dd the
following sensible remarks 10 the San Fran
cisco Evening Tribune, paper edited by
Jack Stratman, one Of the Graz. leaders in
the Presidential contest OF 1868. We do
not wonder at Stra.man's becoming sick Of
bis par,y--.he great wonder being why the
whole mongrel press Of the coast do not de-
nounce the Trumbul iniquity as the Tri.
Junc has done. Here is what the Tribune
says:
ut is strange that no sooner California
endeavors TO adopt means 10 ward of the
further influx Of Cooiesm, than she is met
with q flank movement on the part OF the
Federal Government. We had imagined
that the spirit Of rigid radicalism had in
very great measure become obliterated at
the National Capital, and that iu its stead a
wise conservatism was beginning to be man
ifesled. Vain dolusion.
Trumbull and many Of bis colleagues,
having ridden the negro hobby to their
beart's content, are evidently desirous Of
one equally calculated to bestow a tempor-
ary notoriety, and have, with surprising
avid ,y, become the champions of Cooleism.
Under the broad humanitarian idea that
this model Republic should open its portals
TO vhomsoever knocks for entrance, we are
required, Sader the tactics Of Trumbull Il
Co.. to admit thousands Of human beings
into the State, large majority of whom are
are trying, 10 a measure, 10 fasten that very
evil upon US which they have denounced in
such eloquent tones, as a relic OF barbarsm
and The curse Of America.
The MARTIN BILL.-In speaking Of this
bill last week we enquired, inerrogatively,
where Mr.. Martin of Butte county could
have possibly got bis information from that
induced him to make the pay Of Placer
county officers nearl, as high agaie rs in
adjoining counties where the work was
about the same; whether the information
came from members OF the Placer delega-
ton. or il not, who did post him. Since
then we have received q note from Hon. NJ
II. Power, member OF the Assembly, which,
we are pleased to say, fully relieves him Of
al connection with the matter. We ap-
pend Mr.. Powers note, which is as follows:
SACRAMENTO February 7tb. 1870.
JOSEPH WAIKuP, Esq.--D Dear Sir:-In the last
issue of the HERALD, when discussing the Martin
Fee and Salary Bill, you wished to know who
informed Mr. Martin on tina subject of Fees and
Salaries in Placer county, and request informa-
tion from the Placer delegation. In answer
would state (as one Of the deegatOn) do not
know and was not aware that Mr.. Martin was
preparing bill on the subject until it was In
trOduced in the Assembly.
have forwarded copies of the Bill to several
districts in Placer county for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the views of the people on the subject.
Yours truly, NJ. Ii. POWER.
MINERAL LANps.-lhere seems to be a
growing disposition among members Of the
Legislature from the mountain counties 10
memorable Congress to donate the mineral
lands Of California TO the the State in trust
Tor the counties where they lie. We can
not say that we would object to such do
nation, but we are fearful that such meas
ure could not be got through Congress, and
in making the effort we might loose the bill
allowing joint entries, which is measure
certainly for the benefit Of both miner and
settler. We can readily see that the dona.
ton plan will be very popular 10 the coun-
ties that are heavily in debt, but this meas
ure could not be made 10 avail anything TO
these counties for over two years, as it
would require legislation to carry the dona-
ton into effect, and this could not be bad
until another session Of the Legislature.
REVOLUTION AND UsURPATIoN.-The Su-
prene Court has held that The Legal Tender
Act Of Congress is unconstitutional and
void so far as applied TO prsexistipg con-
tracts, and now the mongrel Senators and
members Of Congress who are owned and
feed by the boudhoders are afraid that the
same Court will decide tha! Legal Tenders
are valid for the payment of all debts con-
ttasted since their issue; hence, Wilson intro
duces bill to increase the number of Justi-
ces to ten. Read the following dispatch:
laa ua CHICAGO, February 10th.
The object of Wilson's bill. increasing the
number of the Supreme Judges to ten, appears to
he to prevent the Court declaring against the un-
constitutionaity of the Legal Tender Act.
This law is to be passed, SO Grant can
appoint two or three tools 10 do the New
England bondholders' bidding
What shameless, barefaced usurpaton and
base rascality. a If the. people Of the United
States submit to such thieviug tyranny they
deserve 10 be slaves.
