LETTER FROM RUSEflLLE.

FRIEND WALKup:--I have been thinking
for some time Of sending you few lines
with regard to the actions of parties claiming
to be Democrats, in this section Of the State
They are row, and have been for many
years, taking and paying for the Sacramento
Union, and the proprieors of that paper are
aware that fully one half Of their support
comes from Democrats, and yet each number
teens with abuse Of themselves and their
party. Why not take some other paper,
even il It be the Reporter, though it is re-
garded as n railroad sheet. here state
without fear of successful contradiction that
The Reporter or Record are either of them
better friends Of the best interests Of business
men than the Union If no better can le
done, then this extract from the Examiner
suits me:
TO read that paper Qhe Uaioa) AID believe
It, Democrats are all traitors and reprobates, and
their candidates everything that is vile. We art
not only pleased to see that paper excluded from
public convoyanccs, but we would like to see the
doors OF every decent house barred against it
STAFFORD & Co. can't hit it lick amss for us
If every Democrat would treat 1t in the same way
they have, it would soon have its malicious flngs
drawn and become harmless for mischief.
Why not consult the leading Democrats
and see if a good Democratic daily cannot he
supported at the Capital of the State by the
men whom the Union draws support from
and then denounces as vulgar, ignorant, op.
posed TO education, etc, or withdraw their
support from the Union, and show it that
we can live and do business without its ad
vice or abuse. begin to believe the Union
is correct when it dcnounccs Democrats as
fools; and as for myself, have acted it ont
by taking it fifteen years, and paying my
money fer the privilege Of reading every
week that am ignorant mean and vicious
| do think there are Democrats enough in
this portion Of the State to support good
daily Democratic paper at Sacramento. At
all events it is the duty of every true Demo
crat to support a paper Of his own politics
The Onion on the Il. Il. reminds ne of the
devil shearng a hog-much noise but little
wool; no one derives any benefit, hat'I can
see, but themselves. II talks much of vic
tory No 3, but we all know where the mo-
ney came from that gained that victory.
Yours, etc, FARMER.
We give the above letter to The public
without fully endorsing ali it contains, as it
comes from friend, good citizen and a
good Democrat. Nohing is truer than that
every Democrat should. if able TO take a
paper, support one of his own politics; if able
to take more, then he can suit his own taste
4 Democratic household without Demo-
cratic newspaper is in as great danger as is
the building without a foundation.

twentieth volume. There is no better or
more outspoken Democratic paper in this
State than the Herald, and so long as its
columns are under the control of the veteran

Lieutenant Governor Walkup, it will be
found battling for the rights of the people

Nor OMNIpREsEST Immediately after
tho September election we asked in our col
umns that the names of candidates for JUS
ticcs Of the Peace in the different Townships
might be sent to US, SO that we might have
them placed at the head Of our columns, so
that they would be correct and a guide for

subsequently called attention to this matter,
but from several of the Townships no names
were sent in, and not being inspired, we
could not tell who would or who would moi,
BE- candidates for this Office, consequently for
the Townships sending no names, we were
compelled to leave blanks Oh the ticker.
He would be fool that would blame us for
not printing names on the tickets by guess
or at random, and rs Democrats arc not
fools, all will say we did right-oll that we
could do, and all that they could have done
had they been here in our place. That's all.

MURDER AT HIGHLANB.-A young man
named Sill Lamotte was killed at Highland
last Sunday night. The circumstances, as
reported, were about as follows;
About II o'clock Sunday night Mr.. Saar,
proprietor of the hotel at Highland, dis.
covered man trying to get into his house
through one of the windows. Saar seized
mallet and struck the mans wrists as they
appeared on the windowframe, when the man
ran away. Saar heard noises about his
house again, and snspecting that Lamotte
was the dsturber, went to a Justice and
swore out warrant for his arrest. The
warrant was placed in a constable's hands
and search commenced for Lamotte. Soon
he was found lying behind or beside one
Of the stores in the last agonies of death,
from gunshot wound in the neck
Suspicion attached to Saar, who was ar
rested, and an examination had at Linden
on Tuesday, change of venue being taken.
The examination proved nothing more than
stated above, though Saar was bound over
to the Circuit Court. Several parties heard
the report Of a gun about the time Lamotte
must have been shot. but none could tell
by whom it was fired.
Lamotte is reported as disorderlv, dis.
sipated young man, but we believe ii is not
thought that he was trying to enter the ho-
tel for plumber. The community generally
sympathize with Saar and believe him in
nocent of the murder.
On the Friday night previous, several
houses in the village were broken into, the
hotel among the rest-Saar having $3.50
stolen. In consequence of this, the people
were excited, and it is thought probable
that some one saw Lamotte proving about,
took him TO be a burglar and fged the ia
tai shot.

excitement in the way of horse thieving.

to Pfeister or Joseph Stork, Inquiry de-
