REDUCTION OF TIE PUBILC DEDT.

REDUCTION OF THE PUBLIC DEBT.
On the fifteenth day of January, 1867,
the total indebtedness of the State was
MiSy-Seren million Scren h,mdred and
-four Thousand fOW HuRdred and nine
d0iidgs and SeUentY-SeUen cents. Since
then, and up to November 30, 1870, the
sum of Sir million ,fre h,u'dred and nine
tV.t,cO thousand seUen Hindred and for
ty-Sepen doiidrS and eigh,y-Serea cents
has been paid. The reduction during
the year ending November 80, 1870, is
one million seren handred and hcO MouS-
and eight hundred and Serenty-nine dot.
lars and .fVe cents.
The average reduction per annum,
for the last four years, Is one milton Sic
hundred and .fOrty-eigM thousand one
huadred and eighty.Seren dollars.
In view of the fact that prior to the
first of July, 1872, nearly eight million
dollars of the public debt will be due,
and in order that the Commonwealth
may continue to meet all its obligations
promptly at maturity, L recommend
that such provision be made by the
Legislature, as will authorize the Com
missioners of the Sinking Fund to sell
all the assets that may be in their pos.
session, and apply the proceeds to the
eXtinguishment of the debt or, at the
option OF the holders, to exchange them
for the outstanding bonds of the Com
monwealth.
The Indebtedness of the State might
be paid IN the following manner: As
already shown, it was, on November
80, 1870, about thirty-One million dol
lars, from which amount, if the said as
sets, ~, 900, 900, be deducted, there
would remain unpaid S2l 100000, AT
ter which, essttiimating the revenues and
expenditures to continue as at present,
the entire liabilities of the Stase couiu
be liquldated in about eight years.
IL this mode of paying the state debt
should be regarded as unnecessarily
rapid and oppressive, then movement
to revise and modify taxation may
meet with much more general favor.
Our debt is now held firmly by those to
whom it is great benefit to have so
secure an Investment. A certain reduc.
tion of one million dollars per annum
on it would, perhaps, be more satisfac-
tory to them and to the people, than to
strive to pay it of so hastily. In an
endeavor to force things under the pres
ent mode of taxation, there is great
danger of driving capital away from
our manufacturing centres. The land
holder has been exempted from taxes
on his land for State purposes, and the
burden shifted on the active, energetic
and enterprising portions of the COM
munity, who have always had their

GRAND JURY REPORT. To the Honorable
County Court of Placer county--The Grand
Jury would respectfully report that we have
investigated all the cases brought to our no.
tice and found true bills as follows: One for
assault with intent to commit murder. Three
for grand larceny. One for receiving stolen
property knowing it to have been stolen.
We would further report that we have
visited the County Hospital and Jail. There
are twenty-eight patients now in the Hospi
tai, six of whom will probably remain there
the balance of their lives, afflicted in such
manner as to render them incurable. We
talked freely with the patients who expressed
themselves well pleased with their food as
well as their treatment generally. The hos
pital is kept clean and neat, and good order
prevails, rejecting credit upon the managers
thereof
There are ten prisoners in the Jail, four
white men and six chinese, they make no
complaint about their treatment by the officers
in charge, on the contrary express themselves
satisfied. The bedding and cells are clean
and comfortable. The main hall, however
the front rooms in bad condition. There
is a sickening stencil occasoned by privy
which we think can be easily remedied and
with very little expense, and should be at
tended to without delay.
We heartily thank the District Attorney
for his efficient service and gentlcmanly de-
pertinent toward us during the performance
of our duties. We also are under obligation
to the Sheriff and his Deputies for their man
ifest willingness to assist in every instance.
All Of which is respectfully submitted.
S. B. WooDIN,

Lines on the Death Of Matte L. Nickerson.

Mattie's not dead, but she sleepeth,
That tranquil sleep that knows
No dreary sad awaking
To earthly care and woes.
No cold, grave, dawn Of anguish,
OF struggle, sin or strife,
May rise to chill the beauty
OF her pure, gentle life.
She is not dead, but sleepeth,
How sweet her peaceful rest,
A mother resting with her babe
Upon her peaceful breast.
Husband, think of her keeper.
Well may you trust your all,
His tender arms enfold her
Until the Resurrection call.
Weep not for Mattie's absence,
Think of the dear ones left,
Think, all this vide world over,
For bitter tears are shed;
For Matte is in silence,
To-day she's slumbering with the dead.
Sheridan, Placer County, Cal, March 5th.

No GARBLED EXTRA ACTS. We stand by all
we say in and out of the columns of the
HERALD, either in politics Or business. l,
must be bad cause that impels as able a
newspaper editor as our old Placer f. lend, r.
j Steele, to garble an article in order to mis-
represent our position. The San Joaquin
argus selects some extracts from an article
of ours in answer to the Reporter asking us
some questions, and without giving the con-
text or real answer or gist of our reply pro-
ceeds to assert that We are ready to bolt the
party if Haight is not nominated. If the
Argus had chosen to treat us fair it could
have given this extract which would have
taken much less space. eff the actions of
the convention are Democratic, and its NOM
inees able and honest Democrats, we will
support them, but if not, no, forever no. "
Does the Argus object to this Ifso, then it
must be understood as saying: "Ifthe actions
of the convention are anti-Democratc and its
nominees are even weak, corrupt and dis
honest Black Republicans, we will, neverthe-
less, abide its actions and support its ticket. I"
We have no space and less taste for quarrel
ing with Democratic cotemporaries and shall
make no fight against any candidate for any
office who is honest, able and advocates and
practices only Democratic principles and does
not, politically, cohabit with wanton, grasp
ing, thevng, plundering Black Republican
