The Golden Era, one of the most refined
and popular literary papers on the coast, and
one wholly free from political bias, intimates
very strongly that sense of shame and de-
cency in the Republican leaders would cause
the suppression Of the vulgar clown Eastman
who travels with Booth. The Era forgets
that Eastman is chosen by Booth as his
conpanen, that be listens night after night
to the repetition of rhis clowns falsehoods
and blackguardisms, with a chuckle, and
thinks the public are pleased. If Booth has
no sense of shame, how can bis party be ex-
pectcd to interfere? Gov. Haight is a states
man and gentleman, and travels with only
such, and all the falsehoods that can be
published Or blathered against him only ele-
Yates him in the estimation of the people.
The Placer herald., 1871-08-12
SYMPTOMS OF DISSOLUTION.

The charges made against Mr.. Haight by
the Radical orators and papers, are evidences
of their waning cause.
They say he approved the lottery bill =
But so did Mr.. pacheco and so did Mr..
Green, both candidates upon the Republican
State ticket; and as those gentlemen, then
Senators, voted for the bill befor, it came to
the Governor, they we're the first to set the
example, and naturally one would suppose
that they and their party, ought to be the
last to in'erpose objections.
They say Mr.. Haight appropriated, in
part, the Secret Service Fund to the erection
of the Burnett monument !-Wil those
strange people tell US to what better or more
noble purpose it could have been appropri-
ated. Did not Mr. Burnett really sacrifice
his life in the interest of the State? Did he
not die that injustice might not prevail Did
ever man more nobly, more honorably and
more patriotically deserve the gratitude and
kind remembrance of his people? And who
in all the land will say he was not well de-
serving the small pttance awarded to per-
petuate Ills memory? What say you Re-
publicans to the remark of Mr. Sargent, in
his address here the other evening, to the
effect that Mr. Haight had committed great
outrage in misapplyms the funds of secret
service. and that the Legitimate use of this
fund is, to hunt up in a secret way evil
dence for the State, Substantially to pay
spies. Think you not the contrast an un-
happy one? Is it not nobler to re,cdrd
merit than to hunt crime?
They say that the Democrats appropriated
extra pay to the attaches of The last Legisla-
ture. The attaches are chiefly the clerks and
pages of the two Houses. The latter are
generally the boys Of poor parents and almost
universally deport themselves well, Their
pay is small and the last Legislature, and
every one deserving the name, that ever
preceded it, here or elsewhere, voted these
poor children some extra compensation.
Reader, don't you think two things at
once First, that this is preferable to giving
the money to the Central Pacific Railroad or
the Board of Supervisors of Placer County
and second, that these strange people are
hard up for arguments, and about gone i'll.

STILL SQUlRMiNG.

expose of Booth supporting fourteen subsidy
bills, calling on taxpayers for over IS, ,OOO,-
900 to further gorge the pockets Of schem-
ing public plunderers, when he was in the
Senate, in 1868. 1t Is amusing to drive
our neighbor, after compelling him to ac-
knowledge himself, in his own columns, a
subsidyist but a few weeks ago, to such
miserable begging to Induce the public to
believe that Booth repudiaes the doctrines

holding to the same doctrines you preach
and practice, and especially when lie was

worth of franchise and property from Sacra-

the giving the company $5oo,O0o out of the
State Treasury for the first fifty miles of
road built, when the General Government
had already given more than would build
the road, as well as the other thirteen sub

Dor yet fears that Booth will not again pull

STRAws. Our ncghbor has gone into the
straw husiness, and will probably be catch
inc at them, as drowning men do, until the
last one floats out Of his reach and he sinks
under the waves of a Democratic victory at
sunset on Wednesday, the 9th day Of Sep
tembcr. He tells Of Il vote taken on the
cars at Gold Run on Friday evening. the
4tb instant, there being 269 votes, and
IIaight's majority was 81. This is pretty
good, considering that Dutch Flat and Gold
Run are the two banner precincts of the Re
puhlicans in this county. The vote taken
between here and Rocklin has some fun in
it. A Repub. acted as teller, and as he
was looking badly, and feeling worse-he
being candidate--the boys concluded to
revive his spirits, SO they got in front of him
and voted "Loo;' then passing around him
came out in front again, one at time, and
again said "boo,' each time he put the boos
down for Booth This they continued re-
peatng until he got through, looking revived
and as satisfied as porcine with a straw in
its mouth in Il thunder storm. In the West
ern States people can always tell when a
thunder storm is coming, by seeing all the
hogs running with straws in their mouths.
Now the Repubs. all have straws in their
mouths, and there will be thunder storm
on September 9th, and these straw fellows
will all be blown up "Salt river"
