A V1LA1NoUs B1IL.-Stewart's Mining
bill contains some villainous provisions. We
have space to name but one here. 1t pro-
vides that where PARTY or company applies
for a title to mine and includes in their sur
vey and application ground claimed by 9TH
ers, that these others, who should be, and
are in fact defendants, shall become plaintiffs
and bring suit in ten days, This is vile
villainy, and because Stewart is the only
mining lawyer in the Senate he has got this
bill through that body. If Sargent, who
halls from the mines, let's this bill pass the
House, he never should show his face in Cal
ifornia again.

WILL HEAR WATCHING.

Placer county has large amount due
her from the Central Pacific Railroad
in money and property earned and acquired
by the Company while she was large stock
holder, estimated on the basis of fair dvi
dend, reaching from two to five millions of
dollars The Supervisors have directed
Hon. c. A. Tuttle to bring suit against the
company for this money and property. The
suit will involve complete overhauling of
the books and private contracts of the COM
pany from its organization down to April
last The question for the people and tax
payers of this county is, ''is this bonafide
suit or is it hatched up by the Company and
Supervisors to put it in shape to be thrown
off or compromised SO as to sell out the
county's last hope Of ever getting the money
back paid to and for this Company ?" We
confess we have no confidence in the MAORI
ty of this Board, and if there are twenty men
in the county that have, they are not known
to US. All this doubt arises from the past
acts Of the Board, but in this case it may do
right, and we hope it will. The interests at
stake arc too great to be triaed with, and it
would not be bad idea for the taxpayers
in each precinct to confer together and ap-
point committees and authorize these com
mittees to appoint central committee
to especially look after this matter,
and aid the Supervisors in their undertaking.
The Supervisors woulo surely be glad to
have such assistance and co,,nse as the tax
payers in this way could give them, but if
they should reject such an offer it would be
cause for grave and serious suspicion OF evil
intent.

A STRANGE Pos1TIoN. The Mayfeld E'

A STRANGE Position. The Mayfeld En-
tcrprise opposes "subsidy" and Railroad
pilfering but favors E.W. Roberts, of Neva-
da, for 1t. Governor. The Enterprise mar
must be trying to average the thing. Rob
erts may not belong to Stanford, Crocker q
Co., but in his whole legislative career he
has eternally done just what they would
have ordered him to do if he had been their
slave, according to the way we reckon then
interest and desires, even down to his actions
as a Commissioner to assess damages against
the Vallejo Railroad for crossing the Central
Pacfcs track in Sacramento.

OUTSIDE OF THE RECORD.

The Grass Valley Union Of Wednesday
last contains q long editorial, meant, we sup
pose, for some purpose, but what that pur-
pose was is not clearly discernable. The
writer's pen evidently got the better of his
brains, memory and history. The only idea
we detect in the article, outside of the be-
SOLDERING of the Sacramento Union, is that
the Democratic press and party never had
any principles on the question Of monopoles,
plunderings and public robbery, or, if they
had they should Immediately have dropped
them and taken the other side when :he
Sacramento Union began to support their
doctrines. The Union has never influenced
the penning of one letter or line in this paper,
and we believe the same is true of all the
other Democratic papers in TIE State, and
there is not an iota of evidence upon which
to.found such an insinuation. Had there
been no such a paper as the Sacramento
Union, the people and newspapers OF this
State would have occupied precisely the
status they now do, on the subsidy question
and candidates. 1t was the timely, manly,
noble acts of Governor Haight in veto,7g
the vile subsidy bills that had been passed by
the votes of professed Democrats and Re-
publicans mainly through corrupt influences
involving the ruin of large portion of the
counties of the State for the benefit of pri-
vate individuals, and these individuals, Stan
ford Crocker & Co., the vilest and most ty-
ranical Republicans in the State, that brought
the great mass of the people of the State and
nearly the entire Democratic press to his
support. Just such an incident in history
occurred when Gen. jackson vetoed the Uni
ted States bank bill, and the people did not
then commence hunting some new man that
would repeat what jackson had done, but
they rallied to old Hickory himself, as they
are now doing to Haight. We know pre-
cisely what moved the Grass Valley Union
in the penning of this article-where the
heat come from that made it bubble such
queer kind of trash, and but for great
over-shadowing principle involving higher
considerations than men, and an emergency
that must be met now or the party in this
State is gone, we would be with it. We
submit that the Union might have chosen
some other way to get word in for its man
preferences than by charging four-fifths Of
the Democratic papers of the State of being
"deluded organs and creating a war in
camp, which is SANDER undeserved. Ma
jorities don't kick up wars in camp any
more than eleven stubborn jurymen prevent
one liberal fellow from returning verdict.

PERSONAL were pleased to meet our
old friend, ex-Statc Treasurer, Thomas Find
10y, in our town on Wednesday evening last,
booking finely, and as sound and as active in
the cause Of Democracy as ever. All the
personal, material and political changes in
Tie past ten years of corruptions have not
dampened the ardor of Mr.. Findley, or left a
taint Or doubt upon his personal or political
integrity. On the question Of monopolies, of
all kinds, including the one dubbed "side
issue" by the timid or subborned, Findley is
emiuently and practically seund-sound as
the Placer HERALD, which is saying enough
ON that point. Mr.. Findley's warm personal
and political friends in Nevada and other
portions Of the State, have urged him to per-
init his name to 90 before the Democratic
State Convention as a candidate for Governor,
and be has consented But for the lateness
of the announcement of Mr.. Findley's candi-
dacy, and the bounding and base, bitter and
malicious abuse of Governor Haght by the
combined herd of all the public thieves, grab
bers, lobbyists and plunderers in the State,
he would not have been candidate; in
which event, considering the high standing
and irreproachable character and sterling
Democracy Of ex-Treasurer Findley, and the
warm friendship and amicable relations ex-
isting between the Democracy of Nevada
and Placer counties, Placer would have been
proud to give him her support Should Mr..
Findley be the choice Of the Convention for
Governor. our pen, means, talent and ener-
g;es will Ill enter the fight for him, and con-
tinue il from that hour to the closing Of the
