| 4 MARES NEsT.-The Sacramento Union
Bee, Record and many other California Radi
cal papers made great ado, week or ter
days ago, over great fraud which they claimed
had been attempted by the Inspector of cleo
tons in the Second Ward in Sacramento
| They imagined that they had discovered ter
rible mares nest" and denounced the afore
said Inspector for placing on the poll list in
that Ward, the names of one hundred and
ninety-four persons, who neither lived in the
Ward nor in the county. Committees of the
different Radical clubs were urged to make
thorough examinations of the poll lists in the
other Wards, as they were told that the Dem.
ocratc election officers were engaged 10 fraud
ulently placing names on the poll lists for the
purpose of stuffing the ballot-box, &c As the
Radicals have proven themselves so expert in
that branch of business, they raised the cry of
"stop thief" believing that Democrats would
follow their disgraceful example 1t now turns
out that no fraud has been either committed
or attempted, and that the charges published
in the Radical organs are utterly false and
without any foundation whatever; and BY
making the charges they only exhibited their
own ignorance of the Registry law passed by
a Radical Legislature. Two of the members
of the Republican Second Ward Committee
published in the Record of August Both. card,
wherein they say that "these names were on
the Great Register of the county and poll list
of the Second Ward in 1869, that being the
last poll list made by said board (of Registra-
tony and the names were copied on said poll
list under section 10Th of the Registry Act, by
the Inspector, and were read over before the
open Board of Registration, all the members
being present" The Record makes the
an'ende hok orable, and exonerates the Inspec-
tor, f. NJ. Martin, from the erroneous state
ments heretofore circulated !" and says that,
"lf blame rests anywhere, 1t is upon the cleo
ton law" So it appears that instead of being
guilty of any fraudulent act, the Inspector has
only discharged his sworn duty under the
law; and the Radical press, through ignor.
ance of statute passed by their own party
brethren. have been engaged in denouncing a
Democratic official as being guilty of the most
practices, simply because he obeyed
D Radical statute.

Col. MERRITT IN CALIFoRNIA.-Asw we ex
pected, our worthy Delegate, Hon. S. A. Mer
rift, having arrived safe and sound in San
Francisco, enrolled himself rs one of the
workers in the Democratic ranks in that State
We learn from the Call of August 3lst that, on
the night before, q large and enthusiastic meet
ing of the Democracy of the Seventh Ward
was held on First street, between Howard and
Mission, under the auspices of the Seventh
Ward Democratic Club, at which Col. Merritt
was the principal speaker. The Call contains
a synopsis of his remarks and says that he was
"loudly applauded." Having been for many
years member of the California State Senate.
and being thoroughly posted on the political
history of the State as well as the antecedents
of the leading Radicals in California. he was
not like stranger taking part in the campaign,
ignorant of local issues, but, doubtless, felt as
much at home upon the stump in that State as
he would be in addressing an audience in Ida
he. We hope to hear of his having addressed
the Democracy in his old District of Mariposa
and MERGED, and of rousing Democratic ma
jority being returned therefrom.
