COMMENCES DrRTY.-Is this to be cam
pa'gn IN which our neighbor will revel in his
own element dirt. 1t would seem 30 from
the start our neighbor has made. We
had thought that we would allow the foul
record of our neighbor and his candidates to
slumber undsturbed, disgusting as it is to
the whole public Of the county, but if it be-
comes necessary: for the public good, we
warn the keepers of the R. X. tool that we
will stir the foul pile if it stinks every decen,
Republican out of such company. Two
years ago I. b. Harper now the Democratic
candidate for State Senator, was assessor for
District No. one and he assessed the G.. p.
K. r. track at S12. 900 per mile. One year
ago j. 9. Boggs the Republican assessor as
sessed the same track at Sc, 900 per mile, only
half the amount the Democrat placed it at.
In 1859 7. B. Harper voted against the
first subsidy bill ever presented to the peopl,
of this county and in 1868 he again opposed
the G. P. $25O,OOO subsidy bill. With
this we leave the matter now but we pledge
ourself to our neighbor and his ring minons
that in exposure of forgery, defalcations,
corruption and downright swindling we will
Re here and ready during this campaign if j,
must take that shape.

BuRoLARY.-On Saturday morning last
at an early hour, an entrance was effected
into the store Of Maj. Gwynn next door to thi
Office, by couple Of Cinnamon who succeed
ed in carrying Of Maj. Gwynns Office desk.
During business hours this desk is the usual
place Of deposit for the cash on hand, but as
in accordance with his usual habit, Mr.
Gwynn had, on shutting up, removed his
cash between $50 aud $60) to safer quarters,
the thieves were cruelty disappointed in the
expected plunder. Some short time since, a
pistol was stolen from the same store, as
reported at the time in this Journal, and it is
supposed that that was merely preliminary
step to the present attempt at robbery. On
the present occasion the thieves effected al
entrance through cellar door at the rere OF
Mr.. Gwynn's building, from thence getting
up through trap-door to the store, OH one
Of the counters of which was screwed tn
coveted prize In corner of the store, hi
proprietor was peacefully slumberins ~siit
the little game was going on, but being az
length awakened by the noise Of their de-
camping, he arose hastily and fired random
shot after the ruuaways, but without effect ;
for, as Paddy would say: "he was just in
time to be too late" Two Cinnamon were
noticed during the previous day in the store
under suspicious circumstances, and these
are the men, it is believed, who made the
present burglarious attempt.

Rich SrRrKE.-On Tuesday last, some
Swedish boys, johnson & Co., opened a
most remarkably rich ledge of quartz, be-
tween two and three miles west Of here.
The claim is located some 200 yards north
west of the famous St. Patrick Mine. These
three men had sunk shaft some fourteen
feet when they opened Oh rock that pays
some six or seven dollars to the pound; or,
if it holds out, about $12, 900 to the ton.
At last accounts, two of the men were quar-
rying the rock and packing it to the cabin
where the other was pounding out the gold
by the use Of common hand mortar.
This discovery has created additional excite
nent in this rich quartz district. We are
under obligations to Mr.. G. Barney, engineer
Of the St. Patrick Mine, for some of the
above facts.

WRITTEN FOR THE PLACER HERALD.
CAUTION.


A republican all my life, l wish to advise
the honest portion Of the republican party in
Placer County, to consider well the merits
Of the County nominees Of the party ere they
put themselves in a position where they will
be bound to give them their support at
The time Of the election, whether they then
wish to do so or not
One thing is certain that majority o:
the republican candidates on the County ticket
were not, and are not, the choice Of the re-
publcans of this County for the positions to
which they aspire, but are the mere decoy
ducks of shrewd wire-pullers who hope, by
their election, to be permanently benefited
Look we'll before You leap. 1t is coutem-
plated by the managers to lay trap and
thereby obtain pledges from the people to
assist in the election of their candidates
The people wish to vote for honest and
capable men. They desire men upon whom
hey can rely by reason of their honesty and
inc Gritty, and not men whose antecedents are
uncommendable, and whose only recon-
nendation is the endorsement Of political
platform. =
High-minded and sincere men are demand
ed by the times to fill political positions.
HONEST REPUBLICAN.

LAST year rMr.J.S.Hare, our count,

LAST year MrJ.S. Hare, our county
Treasurer, ordered the publication of
the notice to tax payers in both coun-.
ty papers. For printing the same we
charged and receivedS80. The year
privious it was published only in one
paper, the Union, and as will be seen
by reference to the exhibit of eXpen-
ditures, at "a cost of $3.50. This year
the Treasurer took new departure"
and ordered, as by previous declara-
tions of the Editor of the Union, thai
said notice to tax payers be publish
ed in that paper alone. Republican
tax payers, in the estimation of Mr..
Hare, have no rights which he is
bound to respect. On Monday we
asked him for an explanation for his
action, stating at the same time that
we were in no need OF begging, but
wanted to know his reason for ommit-
ting to have said notice published in
the REPUBLICAN.
Mr.. Hare replied that the publication
of the same in our paper last year,
caused some dissatisfaction, arising
out of the fact that we charged low
figures and thus bringing the prices
of the Union into disrepute, and I'D
ded s'If you had brought in a Gus,
tomary bill it would have been all
right" This is emphatically Tam
many logic. IF we had charged $3.50,
the price paid the Union the year be-
fore, it would have been all right, but
because we charged only $50, it is
all wrong. We want the tax payers
to bear this in mind. The notice
will be inserted in the Republ. can
next week for the benefit of our read.

ton, for which our tax payers have

Closing Appeal.

The day of election is near at hand.
See that your Townships are thor
oughly organized, and complete list
of the Union voters in the hands of
several active men at the polls. See
that every Union man is on hand, and
puts in his vote. Beware of illegal
and fraudulent votes. Let no man vote
who is not legally entitled to do so.
Look out for deserters and skulkers
from the draft, who will try to vote
in other counties than their own. Let
these men be marked, and let the
punishment of desertion, as we'll as
that of fraudulent voting, follow
them.
One thing more: Let every bust
ness man close his house on the
day of election, and repair early to
the polls. Let the merchant, the
mechanic, the professional man, and
the laboring man, all give the day to
cause of the country and the Union
Tue times demand the service oI
every man. A secret and traitorous
foe is in our midst and actively al

BULYRUs, O.. Sept. 80, 1871

ED. REPUBLICAN: DEAR SIR: Two
prominent citizens of this place. calling
this afternoon. on business, at the Forum
office, found one of the presses running
off straight Republican tickets, for Wood
county, with the exception ofthe name
of A. NJ. JACKSON. for Judge. Mr.. ely
mer, on being questioned, stated that
Mr.. Jackson had ordered them and that
he was printing them the same as he
would any other order for job printing.
This is prima tacia,, such case of fraud
as should in the estimation of every in
telligent citizen disqualify Mr.. Jackson
from the high and responsible position
he is so disgracefully striving to secure.
As it may be that he will flood Wyan-
dot County, with a similar straight Re-
publican ticket, with his name on it,
write to advise you of this ugly looking
discovery.
