A FALsEHooD SQUELcHED.- D.-Sometime
ago the Sacramento Reporter charged Mr..
Lnthicum, formerly editor of that paper
when ii was Democratic, with having sup
pressed or refused to publish letter of Hon.
James A. johnson written to his friend Greed
Raymond, in July last, explanatory of his
action en'the Northern Pacific Railroad bill
and nox.M Mr.. Raymond states, in letter,
that Iintli ,um never saw or read the letter.
Tie question now is where did the late
editor of the Reporter get his false informa-
ton, an1'who started this lie on Mr.. Linthi-
cum. Is it possible that men cannot become
the employees of the monopoly without being
compelled to do dirty work.

1t is said that the old printed Great Regis
ter of this county has been scratched and in
terlned over and deposited in the Stripes
Office for reprinting and intended to be a "fat
job" We have seen no minutes Of any &C
ton taken by the Supervisors on this ques
ton. There is law to govern the actions
business, and these laws must be strictly
complied with before dollar can be drawn
from the County Treasury in payment Of
anything done in the premises, and if it be-
comes necessary to prevent the people from
being swindled and the Treasury robbed, an
injunction will cell the story. Section II Of
the amended law requires the County Clerk
to make out correct list of all names then
on the Great Register, during the month Of
August, 1871, unless otherwise directed by
the Supervisors. Thus the County Clerk :,
under oath and his official bond, is prohibited
from doing this work until August, and must,
by the other provision, wait until then to see
if the Supervisors don't direct ot,erlcise
The State Board, the Governor, Secretary OF
State, Attorney General and Surveyor Gen
eral, have control Of the Supervisors and all
other officers in matters or duties connected
with this law, and are directed "To prescribe
the forms to be used in the several counties
and election districts under this Act, and to
establish such general rules and regulations
as they may deem necessary for carrying its
provisions into complete effect, and ,rlth as
lille erpensc and Inconvenience as possible.
In July the State Board may direct that the
expense of reprintng the Register he dis
pensed with, or the Supervisors may, during
July, do the same thing. Both the State
Board md Board of Supervisors Should make
this order and save the people of the coun-
ties this heavy expense of copying and print
ing this useless thing. The Registry law is
now daily violated in its plainest and most
strict provisions in the registration Of other
than white citizens, and is beyond doubt now
if not always So unconstitutional and void
or the late amendments to the Federal Con
stituton and Laws of Congress are nullity.
Whatever the County Clerk may do in this
matter before the month Of AugAsf is viola
tive of the law and his oath, ard any eXpen-
ses incurred thereby he must pay out of his
own private means, as the taxpayers of the
county. will not stand further swindling at
this time. When it is known that the Reg
lister is to be reprinted, and that will not be
known until the First Of August, then we
will have something to say as to how Ii
should be done and what it should cost, but
if the Clerk wishes to have it done at his own
expense, we have no objections.

West Mountain. The descent into it is
through passage two and half feet in
diameter, and thirty-one feet in length
which makes an angle Of thirty-fve or
forty degrees with the horizon. Ii then
opens into a room twenty feet long,
twelve and half feet wide, and eighteen
or twenty feet high. The floor, sides
and roof Of this room are all of solid
rock, but very rough and uneven. From

about three feet in diameter and twenty
four feet in length, but very rough and
irregular, which leads TO another room
twenty feet wide, thirty feet long and
eighteen feet high. This room being
situated much lower than the first, is usu-
ally filled with water in thespring Of the
year, and water stands in the lower part
at all seasons. 1t is the most interesting

Bundle bees, like all the hymenoptera,

injure or destroy the flowers, but make
them productive by disturbing their pol

noxious caterpillars and other insects,

A Child's Faith.

A writer in the Home Journal says :
The beautiful and unquestioning faith
of children is evidence that God often
reveals himself to them. As an illustra-
ton of this, | will relate an incident,
strictly true. A family living in West.
ern village had number of children ;
the youngest, bright little fellew OF
three years. or thereabout, was the pet
aud idol of the whole household. lie
was JOY to everybody, for his face and
temper was perpetual sunshine; but he
was also care to everybody, for he was
continually getting into mischief. One
summer afternoon he could not be found ;
up stairs and down, in doors and out,
search was made for him but in vain.
Messengers were dispatched to the neigh
bors; hurried examinations took place
in adjoining yards, but still there was
no trace of the little runaway.
Twilight began to deepen, and its gloom
seemed to settle heavily on every heart.
Suddenly the mothers instinct prompted
her to call /; and, Charley, Charley, rang
out in clear but agonized tones. Amid
the hush that followed came sweet PIP
voice, apparently from the clouds, say
ing, "Here, mother-here | am" One
looked at another in wonder and fresh
alarm. The mother called again, and
again from distance way up in the air
came that silvery reply. Everybody
rushed from the house, and the mystery
was explained. Perched upon the mar
row, sloping roof of tall oat building,
sat the happy little fellow gazing delight
eddy at the rosy, sunset clouds! How
he got there was a problem no one could
solve-but there he was.
"What are you doing up there, Char
ley ? oh Charliel' called the mothers
quivering voice. Down, ike little rain
OF slvery music, came the words:
Il am trying TO see God and oh |!
mother, ne is there-right there, in the
shining sky; but | just want to get near
enough to touch him with my own hand! =
Reader besure that the unseen angels
took care of that boy, and restored him
safely to the yearning hearts and out
stretched arms below.
