STATE FAIR. We are in receipt of g
complimentary season ticket to the California
State Fair, to commence on Monday next
the 18th inst. A note accompanying the
ticket, says:
The prospects for large and valuable exhibi
ton were never better The Stock show, IN el
classes. will be very extensive and very superior
In addition to samples of the products OF the
Pacific Coast we shall have those of tho fruit
and grains of some twenty of the Atlantic Statcs
on exhibition. We also expect the ext onsive an
elegant collection of japanese and Ch nose good
sent over for eyh btion by those Governments
II is very important that applicat ons for spac
should be sent in early ns possible, and thai
the goods themselves be on hand by the 10Th o.
18th of September.
The officers of the State agricultural So
ciety have always showed commcndable yea
aud capacity in conducting the fairs, an'
whatever of complaint has heretofore beer
urged has been against citizens of Sacr;'
mento In the coming Fair, it is to be hopeC
that no cxtortion will be practiced upo,
visitors. In times past the great bod!
of the people Of Sacramento hive striven t
curb the greed Of the few who have take,
advantage Of the necessities of visitors, arc
we trust that this year they will be entre
successful. Very many visitors from tie
East will attend tie Fair this year, anC
much good will result to the State by tlt
display Of her wonderful capacity of roll anc

WE REPEAT II.

Our ncighbor takes much pains to wiring
n our language in referring to the paai ad-
ninistration of the Republican Supervisors,
when We said the very name stinkelh il

inject is as visible az the postcrior Of the

Ihc hope of further bleeding Of the county
by cxorbitant printing bills, aud desire to
induce the new Supervisors to violate their
Obligations TO law and the people of The
county, aud TO consent to two years far
her robbery of the Taxpayers, is all that we
tan gee in it, We repeat that the acts o!
he Republican Supervisors for the pact four
years do sink in the nosiri's of The people. 30
lwo years ago, one Of these old Supervisors
ran second time in ths, the eirongcat Re
publican district in The county, and came ont
two hundred and fifteen votes behind bis
ticket, and was badly beaten. Dh he not
smell bad to the people, and The voters Of
his own party? How long since the people
Of this county, without distinction of party,
voluntarily put their hands in their pockets
and rsisod money to fee lawyers and pay
costs, 10 prevent the prosont Board from
making, by their own order, Il cold grab Of
81 800 out of the TreasU1y? Could they
have smell sweet TO tbese contributing tax
payers? We dared the ring TO run either Of
the present Board the second time, and it
weakened and took up new men. The new
Board yet have their record to make. One
of them we know to be man of ability IN
trgrity and Louofty, and wei have no evidence
but the other two are his equals in these
worthy accomplishments. To these we say
in advance, since the ring organ demands it,,
avoid the breakers upon which your pre-
decessors were wrecked; do your duty fully
f,irly and honestly TO the people of the coun-
ty, without fear or favor, and in us YOU will

it will be our duty and we will not finch
from it, to give the facts and Legitimate com
ments to the whole people. We rejoice in
the change as We believe nine tenths of the

we will have a w,se ana just administration

have been heretofore noted. Some fifty
drug articles 90 Oh the free list, and
some forty Others arc much reduced.
The duty on tea is reduced 10 cents-
that Is, from 25 to Is ceuts, and coffee
2 cents (from to 81 cents a ponnd, and
the reduction on the bulk Of the sugar
imported is J of cent per pound.
These reductions might be expected to
make themselves felt in cheapeuine
prices, but whether the effect will be
Immediate or not remains to be seen, as
il IS claimed that a large part OF the
stock on hand in these articles has been
laid IN at the old rates. On the other
hand, however, ii may be urged that
nothing except goods actually needed
for consumption has Teen taken out of
bond for The past two months, and
therefore the stocks on hand with the
dealers ought to be proportionately light
There are important changes also rela-
ting to lrou and steel, steel getting more
protection and pig iron less protection

dollars per ton. When steel rails were
first imported their cost abroad was Els

BY the tariff come 10 force now the rate
