POPULATION OF THE CITIES AND THE STATS.
We mentioned several weeks ago that it
seemed probable from the census returns then
received, that the population of San Fransis-
co would not amount to more than 125, 900.
A more thorough examination and com pilation
shows that the figures will amount to about
10000. This aggregate is however consid-
erably less than was originally anticipated
We now learn that the population of Oakland
and Alameda Township in Alameda County,
embracing the town of Oakland and Alame-
da. amount to but 12,600 The people of
Oakland have claimed 20,000 for Oakland
alone. There appears to have been similar
falling off from estimated numbers in other
cities and towns of the State. From these
facts it might fairly be inferred that the pou-
lation of the entire State would prove to be
much less than the general estimate-but
such is not the case. 1t is believed in the U. S.
Marshafs Office from the information already
received from the enumerators that the total
population OF California will amount to ut
least 100000. This is large increase en-
the figures of the last census. which gave us
but 1904 inhabitants. The increase in
the agricultural districts appears to have been
greater than was supposed Bulletin.

China and San Francisco, which brings the

EDITOR DENocRaT:-0f course Mr.. Elitor.
It is unnecessary to impress on the mind of
your readers, of this lie First Supervisor Dis
trlct, the importance to them Of the election
TO BE- held on the 1th of September. We all
know the Office Of Supervisor is raore directly
connected with, and has greater bearing on
the financial af'airs of our county than any 9TH
er. Hence ii is that the electors should be
well informed and know the qualifications and
antecedents of the candidates for said Office
The facts are, that the Republican nomi-
nee, Mr.. Bradford, has not raid his taxes for
A. D. 1869, but is now litigating the same
on technicality, (something about the As
SCISSORS certificate being informally But fur
ther, we fi1d that this would-be-Supervisor,
Bradford, sends his Stock to Stanisaas coun-
ty, and on the 9TH of May last. hunts up the
Assessor of said county, and there has his
stock assessed at less than one-half its value,
and pays the fares thereon in that county,
having refused and still refusing to pay the
taxes on the same (and other) property in
this county for the year before.
The foregoing Mr.. Editor, are facts which
will rot be disputed by Mr.. Bradford or his
friends. At all events they are matters of
record.
Now, electors of the 1st Supervisor District
do you desire to be represented in the Board
of Supervisors Of your county, by one who re-
fuses to pay his taxes honestly due. land he
having the means to pay the same,) and one
who for the next year sends his property
from your county to avoid being assessed
therein, and pays in Stsnislaus about one
quarter of the amount due and which he
should have paid in this County.
| am aware Mr.. Editor, that some rerscus,
residents of this county, have been in the hab-
it of running their stock into other counties
to be assessed, because the assessment in
those counties was less than in this, but it
has remained for tie Republican party to
nominate a man for Supervisor whose pecul-
lar qualification for the office, is that he re-
fuses to pay taxes in his own county, and
what taxes he does pay is on stock run from
this county to another.
What would be the financial condition of
our county if all others acted on the example
of the Republican nominee for Supervisor.

ADDITION TO THE Stockton LAND DrsrR1cr

ADDITION TO THE STOCKTON LAND DISTRICT.
We are happy to announce to our many
readers in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties
a change which has been recently made, af-
fecting their interests as settlers on the public
lands. Instead of being Obliged to 90 to Sa-
cramento, travelling through Stockton. to
transact business in the United States Land
Office, they will hereafter be at liberty to do
business with the Department at the city of
Stockton, thereby saving hundred miles of
travel and from eight to ten dollars to each
person obliged, as party or witness, to attend
at the land Office in locating or proving mp
claims to the public lands for farming or min
ing purposes. This change, we learn, has
been accomplished nron the intercession of
the worthy representative of the Second Con
gressional District the Hon. A. A. Sargent,
and will in due time be formally communi-
Gated to the Sacramento and Stockton Land
Office. The following townships, heretofore
forming o part of the Sacramento Land Dis
trict, are to be hereafter attached to and
form part of the Stockton Land District,
viz: Township north. range 10 east

The Hoard Of Eaaa,ssa..ea.

The Supervisors have been in session ma.
jority. of the time since the sth inst. for tie
purpose of equalizing taxes that the Assessor
returned, either at too high or too low val
nation. Thus far it seems that the Assessor
bad higher appreciation of the value of
property in the county than the Board OF
Equalization. A large number Of applica-
tons for reduction was made aad in almost
every instance tee prayer Of the petitioner
was granted, only one case appearing where
the valuation was increased The largest re-
dnction made on any Que assessment was that
of the Confidence Mining Company Which
the Assessor returned at a valuation of $780,
900. This appearing too high for the owner,
afadavits were fled end read, fixing the
valuation at $50, 1000. The Board of Equel-
ization found the value to be $40, 900. We
are confident that The property cannot be
bought for the figures at which it was return
ed by the Assessor. Thus we poor devils of
Tuolumne must furnish gold to help build
Oregon Railroads and Ocean Steamers, but
when we want taxes, fair and equitable, the
owners put up poor mouth, and while ex-
haustlng our resources at rapid rate. our
Board of Equalization virtually say the Asses
sor done you wrong. we deduct soc, 900 from
your assessment. The valuation of the Tuol-
umne County Water Co.'S property was re-
duced S23, 900, or about one half as returned
by the Assessor. The Phoenix Water Co.
came in for small share, S2, 900 reduction.
A great amount of interest was manifested
by the drygoods dealers of Sonora and Co
lumbia. We believe they all asked for some
reduction they became So importunate that
the Board felt it their duty to call on several
disinterested parties to examine and approx
innate the value of the stocks. After exam
ination three competent men made their re-
port and swore that they all had stocks of
larger amount in value than assessed for. A
large amount of testimony was taken of the
most conflicting character, but the pressure
was too heavy, reductions were made, and one
poor fellow who had been assessed a. SIC, 900
had an enemy who complained that his as
sessment was too low, an examination of this
stock revealed the fact that at forced sale it
would sell for 500, 900 to S25, 900, So a major
ity of the Board fixed this assessment at $l2,-
600. During the session thus far the rcduc-
tions amount to about 100000. 1t is doubt
full if any of the parties wero over assessed.
It is a well known fact, thing of common
talk that the property of the county is not as
sessed any where near its value. So long as
men are willing to swear that a dollar is not
worth two bits we can see brit little prospect
Of reduction in taxation. We had expected
an improvement this year, we fear that we
shall be disappointed.
