We extract the following article from the Sac
damaging argument against the rule of Haight
and the Democratic party. Based upon the fig
ures derived from the Controllers office it can.
not be disproved;
Some attention has been attracted to the state
ment contained in the Democratic platform that
the rate of State taxation had been reduced un-
der Haght's administration from lib to 96B
cents, the more so because this reduction is
claimed by the Governor in his stump speeches
evidence of extravagance in the admins
tration of his predecessor, and of reform in his
own. The bare statement of this difference be-
tween taxation in l866-97 and in 1901, of it.
self amounts to nothing as an argument, and it
is TO bare statement of the fact that the Cover
nor and his friends shrewGly conline themselves
carefully refrainng from any explanation of the
circumstances producing this difference. Some
of these causes do not much rebound to the hon
or of the State, as we shall presently show. An
examination of the facts will show that in order
to prepare this shallow pausibility for use in the
present canvass the Democratic managers plum
dered the Interest and Redemption Fund provi-
ded by law for the funded debt OF 1857, of IL
cents in the Sl00, and the Soldiers Bounty In
terest and Sinking Fund of 10 cents. Some 9TH
er changes were made, with which, and the rob-
berry of these fluids, they were enabled to in
crease the General Fund cents, and make the
general reduction so much Dragged Of Upon
the General Fund there are not the same res
traints against extravaganza and corruption as
in the special funds, ca III of which is devoted
by law to some special and necessary purpose.
We annex tabular statement of the several
funds, and the amounts liked by law for each for
four years

HAIGHT's LOTTERY ACT.

"No lottery shall be authorized by this State,
nor shall the sale of lottery tickets be allowed. >"
Sec. 27, Art. ", Constitution Of California
/ do solemnly swear that l will support the
Constitution of the United States and the Con-
stitution of the State of California, and that
will discharge the duties of the office of Gov
ernor to the best of my abilities - Gouernor's s
oath Of office, See. 3, Art 4KL Constitution Of Cali
(ornid.
Will any one pretend that Haight was not
aware of the above quoted Constitutional pro-
hibition? Yet, after taking the oath of office,
he deliberately approved the Mercantile Library
Lottery bill. Governor Haight stands convicted
before the people of fragrant, wilful violation
of his oath of office. Nor does our representa-
tive from this county occupy better position
on this matter. He will not plead ignorance of
the terms of the Constitutions his oath bound
him to support it. Yet, as he himself publicly
vile, he was opposed to the bill on principle,
but voted for it when it came up the second time
We accuse neither of corrupt motives, but is it
not evident that they could not Withstand the
pressure brought to bear by the getters-up of
this mammoth swindle. We term it swindle
for the reason that we are reliably informed that
the 500, 900 prize never left the Bank of Calfor-
mia. Haight and McMurry, after having by their
official acts plundered the people through the
Lottery bill, are now before the people for re-
election. We ask the voters if these men have
not been tried and found wanting.

TIE KENTUCKY ELECTION. Returns from the
election in Kentucky indicate that the Democra-
cy carried the State by about 10000 majority
being falling off of about 81, 900 from the last
Gubernatorial Democratic majority. This was
foreshadOwed some time since as a result of the
" new departure" Many lifelong Democrats
everywhere are actuated by the feeling that if
their party assents to and adopt Republican doc
trnes, the most consistent course for them to
pursue is to join the Republican party at once.

THE PRosPEcT.-Everywher throughout the
State, the prospect of success to the Republican
hosts becomes more and more decided. The
unanimity with which the nominations of the
Convention were received, and the entire lack of
all disafection, inspired the organization with
an enthusiasm, which has become apparent in
the growing strength of the party. The mem
bers of the State Central Committee are fully in
formed as to the necessary requirements for a
thorough canvass and have been at work un-
ceasingy in preparing and putting into effect all
those essentials which contribute to vigorous
campaign. The present State Central Commit
tee is an excellent one, and the executive branch
of it is composed of men who are constantly en-
gagged in fulfilling the demands made upon them,
and performing the work intrusted to them.
The party, too has thorough confidence in their
ability to properly conduct the contest before
them, and the result is there is a perfect under
standing throughout the entire organization.
Wherever meetings have been held, the utmost
loyalty has been evnced toward the principles
and aims of the party, and every soldier of the
old Republican party is in line, marching in
good order, and keeping step to the music of the
Union.-SpirH of the Times.

Tns New Departure is the old Democratic ass
invtn ed for the nonce in Republican lion skin
The party says that it will no longer contend
against what is inevitab BILE. 1t will accept with
good grace the legislation which it has vainly
striven to break down. 1t will, five years after
the crushing of the rebellion admit cordially
that the rebellion has collapsed. 1t will, being
poweress to prevent 1t, acknowledge that the
constitutional amendments are accomplished
facts and having eaten so much dirt, it now
comes before the people and asks that it shall
be admitted TO power again on the strength of
its magnanimity in accepting facts which had
become established in the face of its most stub
born opposition. But simple and absurd as is
this proposition, il appears more so in view of
the fact that half Of the Democratic press refuse
to accept the new DEPARTURE while the other
half openly avows that it is only prepared to
bow TO the novel creed SO long as the Republi-
can party remains in power. When once the
reop.e have been csjoIed into eleetlng Demo
Gratis TO Office, the mask will be dropped, and
the trne purposes of the party may be revealed.
These are the plain facts of the case, and we ask
our readers 10 regard them attentivey. Caiap~-

WHAT DIVIDES Us Now.-The top round of i'm
pudent complacency- North pole of brazen
frigdty-the superlatve balancing point where
cheek plumes itself in halo of its own admira-
ton and basks in a Narcissdn beatitude, has
been reached by the Democratic departursts.
One of them yesterday, in the blandest manner
possible-a manner which would have made a
success of the real estate transfer which our ad-
versary in olden time failed on-said " Here,
now, Forbes, old fellow, you used to be Dem
ocrat now we have got the entire substance out
of your Republican platform, nigger and all
now why don't yon come back and go with the
old party again" The men who make that prop
osition are creditable with as magnificent gen
erosity as the man who would steal band of
horses from you and then make proposition to
go into the stock business with him - White

LEWIS IN HIS TRAvELs.-In his speech at Ma
rysville, E. j. Lewis said that if more than four
subsidy bills could be produced that had been
signed by Governor Haight he Newis) would
withdraw from the ticket The Marysvile Ap-
peal overhauls the Statues Of l869-7O, and dis
covers hirty-one subsidy bills bearing the sigma
ture Of the Governor Not having the Statutes
of 1868 at hand, the editor is unable to state
how many more might be found in that volume.
The presumption is that Lewis has withdrawn
from the ticket and gone where the woodbne
twineth.

Mr.. GRADGRIND, speaking of facts, remarked
that the most striking fact in all his large expe-

scrofula, rheumatism, worms fever, skin erup-
tions, headaches and all disorders arising from
bad blood, that remarkable vegetable prepara-

testify that the excellent Mr.. Gradgrind was
right as usual
Weekly Trinity journal., 1871-08-12

THE Sonoma Democrat confesses that the Dem
ocrats can do nothing to abate Chinese immi-
grafton, because the Democratic party is not in
accord with Congress. The Republican party of
California is in accord with Congress, and hav-
ing pledged itself to abate the evil, will be able
to accomplish something to that end if its ticket
is elected. The Democrat argues that because
the Democracy can do nothing n the matter,
that their ticket should be supported. Queer
logic -APpeal.
