DOWN ON THE GERMANS.

The,lending Democrats Of this and othel
States have at last thrown up the sponge
in the effort to wheedle Germans in thil
country into support Of their tricky party
Hasi1 worn threadbaTe and in vain theil
nlsome praise Of that portion of our for
3-sign fslI3w- citizens, aud feeling at last thai
the Germans are TOO sensible, patriotic, to
affiliate with their foul organization, they
now Join in wholesale denunciatiou and
abuse of them, as witnessed in the follow
ing article from the San Francisco Exam.
iner the. leading Democratic paper Of the
State, in alluding to recent German
procession at the Bay:
It is passing strange sight to witness
that Of q procession in a. free country, in
glorf6cstion of the triumphs of imperial
despetissh lover republicanism. Prussia
next to Russia. is the most despotic nation
in Europe. The will Of the Emperor is
omniPcteuts He has just succeeded in
crushing & republic which contributed
most fnaterially,, in men and money, to
build upy upeu these shores political insti-
tutions founded UPON the grand idea Of the
right and capacity Of the people to govern
thepseEes x.WA have Just passed through
Bloody civifwaf with the ayowed pur-
pose of re-asserting, that great idea, and
preserving the institutions thus established
in all their integrity. And yet, in the face
of these things, the atmosphere is to be
made resousnt with jubilant shouts Of
triumph over the fall Of . sister republic
What d the meaning Of this? Are these
men sick of free government? Do they
wish to see these States absorbed in one
great military despotism, with an imperial
Kaiser at. its head. A Teutonic speaker
the pslier night, in his enthusiasm, ex-
claimed that, "Germany is the mistress of
the world.p = Is this procession over the
fall Of republican France a movement for
imperialism here? is this insult to free
institutions designed to place the United
States in political accord with the new
German Empire?
We did not, therefore ex-
pect to see the time come quite so soon
when an open demonstration would be made
in our. streets in favor Of imperial govern
ment, and in derision of down. trodden,
murdered republic. But these are fast
times, and we must make up our mind not
to be surprised at anything"
TheHriter of the above is chief engi-
neer Of the Haight train and speaks the
real sentiments Of the mass of his party
No German can associate politically with
a crowd holding such sentiments without
incurring the contempt and seorn of all
spirited and self-respecting people. But
Of course no German who is worthy of
claiming the Fatherland as his birth place,
will aid. those who slur the cause of his
native land. -=.s..

CORRESPONDS WITH THE COUN-
- TRY.

We do not claim that the COURIER il
quite the equal of the New York Tribune,
Sacramento Union, or some other. papers
we could mention. Neither are the stores,
shops and business of Shasta up to the
New York OF Sacramento standard. Why!
Simply because eur local business must
correspond to the needs, resources and de-
mands Of our town and county. So toe
with the local paper; ismsrsly corresponds
with the other interests Of the town and
county. A paper always mirrors its sur
roundings and fourishes or declines in
unison with the other business Of the To-
cality in which is published. We shall
always try to pu6lah as good paper as
the patrenags. .#srsseipsssill: ll:ssrsant, just
as men in ytbsF Kinds Of bssiness here
keep up estaB aBlishments in proportisn to the
support wlh she public is able TO give
them. sa

LEFT.

The last meeting of the Board of Ex-
animation in this county was attended by a
gaspipe, who gave ont that he was grad
Sate Ola German university. He pre-
sented himself before the Board in state
of semi-intexication, but drew out after a
few hours application. On examining
his papers the Board found him to be no
scholar at all, and were of the opinion
that he had never graduated at district
school, much less German university.
After drawing out Of the examination, he
went to three different persons in town and
borrowed. money from them on promise to
repay II. t.ir a few days, but we are informed
that he spent the money for whisky and
left town with his head as hot as heating
stove. We are also informed that he has
since abseonded@ from the county,
leaving his creditors minus. We should
not-allude to this matter, were it not for
the fact that some meddlesome parties in
this place severely criticised and misrepre-
sented the Board of Examination for refus-
ing to grant County certificate to what
they termed Graduate Of first class
German university 1t is due to our
German residents to state that this criticism
of the Board did not come from them.
The Board certainly deserves credit for
preventing incompetent and improper per-
sons from having, anything to do with the
control Of our schools. Surely parents do
not desire their innocent children placed in
charge, Of incompetent or immoral persons,
and for this reason, they should universally
stand by and defend the action of the
Board against the misrepresentation Of
misunderstanding outsiders who have no
opportunity to judge of the facts elected
in the course of the Examinations.

Hon, Thos. Phelps, Collector. Of The

believe this too is for the progress Of civil
lisation. !. Europe has nothing to fear from
the strength of the German Empire, for
Germany has never been aggressive. Zap
plause] 1t is quite natural that all loyal
Americans should have sympathized with
Germany during the war, and in bringing
about the political unity Of the German
people. 1t is impossible for us to forget
that during the darkest days Of our late
struggle for our own unity, when our coun-
try was deluged with blood, and many
brave and eminent men, doubted whether
victory would finally perch on the flag of
the Union or on the flag of rebellion, when
the Emperor Napoleon, with the apparent
appreciation of the French people was
cfganizirg the left wing Of the rebel army
under Maximillian in Mexico. When the
English were fitting out rebel cruisers to
prey upon our commerce, the German
people, with the appreciation ofthe Get
man Government, were taking our bonds
and thus sustaining our credit, and our
German fellow-citizens were enlisting ia
the Union Army. Loud appause] How
then was it possible for us not to sympa-
tbize with Germany? thrust that France
will learn lesson from this war which she
will never forget. hope, under wiser
Government, she may rise from her pres
ent defeat, and from the anarchy which
now prevails there, and learn. to respect
the rights Of other nations. :.

: AHEAD.

We formerly looked into the Examiner
and Reporter to see how the task of de-
flaming and incorporating the Adminis-
tration and the Republican majority in
the Senate progressed, but Of late the Sac
ramento Union fully supplies the place Of
our Democratic cotemporarys. We
sympathise with the Union in its anti-
subsidy fight, but its malignant hostility to
the President, and his supporters, under
pretense of vindisating Sumner, throws
the Democratic press into the shade, and
receives the condemnation of Republicans
in this locality. The idea of accusing
Grant of sluring Revenue Reform in his
last Message is supremely absurd

RELIEF TO SETTLERS.

; The FOLLOWING law affords relief to set
tiers who petitioned for an extention of the
time for payment, alleging that the failure
of crops left them without means to pay
for their lands. This was Sargent's bill
modified from two years to one:.-
Resolved by the Senate and House Of
Representatives of the United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That set.
tiers on the public lands of the United

emption laws to the Territory OF Colorado,
and for other purposes, approved July l4th,
1870, and by instructions from the Gen.
ersl Land Office, under date July 3Orh,

time given them under which to make such
proof and payment.
