DO THE REPUBLICAN LEADERS THINK THE
PEOPLE Foo1s?-Horacc Greeley, and al
the Republican leaders east Of the noun
tains, denouncc the Cincse plank of the
Republican platform in this State as sham.
and disgrace to the party, But Horace and
his friends have not yet learned that this
plank is only club to the whole, and THAI
the Republicans Of California have 10 inten-
tions of carrying out this plank. These
fellows are trying to get goods under false
pretences to get offices, by lying to
the people. Why, Crocxer Il Co. owned
the late Republican Convention in this State,
made The State ticket and platform, and the,
work nothing on the building Of their rail
roads but Chianmen. These being facts,
who is fool en,aigll to suppose these monop-
olists would place Il man On the ticket the,
could not make spit upon the platform and
do their bidding in all things.

DEMOCRATIC MEETING.

The campaign in this county was opened
here in Auburn, on Monday evening, last.
Col. Z. J. Lewis, Of Tehama, Democratic
candidate for Lieutenant Governor and w.
B. c. Brown, Of Sacramento, candidate for
Secretary of State, were the speakers. The
meeting was a large one for Auburn. The
large number Of seats provided in front of
the stand being we'll filled, and the entire
sidewalks from the Bank Exchange to Keeh-
ner's, fronting some twelve business houses,
were also crowded with gentleman and lady
attendants. After the lighting Of the bon
fires, music by the Auburn Brass Band and
the sending up Of few rockets, the meet
ing was organized and Col. Lewis introduced
as the first speaker. During the speech OF
Col. Lewis, which occupied about one hour,
scarcely an individual in the meeting moved !,
or changed position, so cngrossed were all in
bis eloquence and facts. His speech was
confined to State politics, and the living is
sues before the people Of the State in this
contest He discussed and compared tht
platforms laid down by the parties in a fair
and candid manner, convincing all that only
the Democratic platform ana candidates
were worthy Of the support of the people.
He showed, from the record, that the oppo-
siton ticket was made up of men that had
been in the past the tools of the monied
sharks of the State, and the aiders and abet-
tors of Chinese emigration and the mongol-
ian curse that has been foisted on the State.
Mr.. Lewis is man of the finest record i'll
the State, and with character that de-
fes all criticism, Mr.. Brown followed in a
speech of an hour, reviewing in eloquent
language, the past history of the two par
ties and showing that the Democracy had
always fought for the true interests Of tht
people and the glory and honor of our Gov
ernment. At the close of Mr.. Browns
speech, at half-past ten o'clock, the meeting
adjourned with three cheers for Governor
Uaignt, and the entire Democratic ticket.

SENSIBLE Yonpe Mechanics Clu

SENsIWE.-The Yonng Mechanics Club,
of Sacramento City, held a meeting on last
Saturday eveping, and passed resolutions
endorsing the Depocratic State ticket, from
Governor Haight down. This tells where
the real working men of the State stand.
They know the Republican ticket to be a
mere creation of the monicd aristocracy Of
the State. Where such mcn lead, no white,
labUing map ought to hesitate to follow.

REPUBLICANS WILL QUESTION GRANT
Many of the olt-line, universal-manhood
Republicans, who are displeased with, and
denouuce the Chinese plank in the Republi-
can platform, have determined to question
President Grsat on that subject, when he
arrives on this coast, next month. Grant
must rcpudiate this mongrel heresy, or give
the lie to the acts Of his party in making the
Chinese treaty. This is right, and we ap-
prove Of the sincerity Of these old-line Re-
publicans. What is republicanism in the
els, must DO repub,caniarn in California

THANK YOUi

Our neighbor, in trying to excuse Assessor
Boggs and the Board of Supervisors for al
lowing the railroad property in this county
to escape, or nearly so, from all taxation,
brings up the tax case of 1868, yet pending
in the Supreme Court. This case has
history that should curse forever the dirty
ring that has managed the county finances
of Placer for years past, and who made the
present ring, Republican ticket. L. l..
Craig was District Attorney when this sun
was commenced, and he prosecuted the case,
we believe in good faith, and was to recover
something like So 900, in percentage, if he
won the suit. 1t dragged through his tern,
and was about to fall into the hands of his
successor, II. II. Fellows, when bill was
passed by the Legislature, believed at the
instance and desire of Mr.. Craig, continuing
him as the attorney of the county, in this
and all other unfinished cases for the county.
About this time, Mcfarland appeared in the
case, and drew from the county $3.50 for his
services in the case, which Craig only should
have paid, and, about the same time, it il
understood, that Ora ig became the attorney
ior the railroad company, against whom thv
suit was pending. 1t is not hard to imagine
how IA case could linser, three or even five
years in the courts. when the same attorne,
ppe4red for both plaintiff and defendant,
ind was the paid attorney of the defendant
and vas to receive nothing from the plaintiff,
lnless he recovered it as percentage from his
other client. This is the matter, rs we un-
lerstand it, and if the dog is to be hissed on,
we will take great pleasure in presenting all
the facts in this case to the public, even to
the demanding of the Supreme Court as to
why it is not decided

TIE COAL MINERS TROUBLES.
The Negotiations Between the Miners and 0per.
ators Unproductive Of Results-What the
General Council May Do-Dissat-
isfaction Of the Military.

SCRANTON, Pa, April IA, 1871.
The miners committee and company officials
have come together, and it may be said that the
negotiations thus far have not amounted to much.
Absolutely the situation has not been changed for
the better and gloomy aspect has taken the place
OF yesterdays hope. The miners have come down
only six cents In their aemand and It Is not believed
that the monopoliss will agree to the proposition.
One dollar and quarter per car is higher than the
regular basis wages paid by small operators and the
great companies will certainly hold out still longer
before accedlng to the demand.
The proceedings thus far are merely preliminary,
ana the earnest WORK OF negotiation yet remains to
be done. The miners have submitted their propo.
sftion, and as early as possible the companies w
offer theirs IL remains to he seen how much the
difference will be and how much morn cling will

are now more than ever responsible for the dead.

to 90 TO work the movement would nave a powerful
influence upon matters here. The rates OF freight
strengthen the companies IN this county in what
ever exacti0ns they may make.
Inc meeting OF the General Council at Mauch
Chunk on Monday may bring ABOUT an arrangement.
That body can only suggest what Is best To be done
az ms uncture IL has no power 10 alter the state
OF things existing here. II can command suspen-

their nera. IL Is Judged ey are about as far apart
as ever, with very little prospect or speedy resuinp-

Council are looked for with considerable anxiety by

The military are growing very much dissatisfied.
Something like martial law Ia being enforced. A
provost guard patrols the city, and stragglers are
caught up as In war times. The confinement OF

that if it be proven that any Storekeep-

can have no such tendency with the up
right.
Another e3fsiu our County which we
must bring to the attention of our legis-
lators is the tardiness in which the just

we regard as very injurious and inexcu-

conclusion, that although most of the
business VIC have been engaged in during
the two terms Of Court has bcon Of a
distatetul nature, we have w d
through it all, impelled alone by sense
OF duty, and all the favors we ask of the
public, is that if We have erred, our
errors should be attributed where we
think they properly belong, to the head
and not the heart
Finally We think it proper to say that
our vote upon this Prescntmeut has been
unanimous.
