appointed to classify and scgregato the min
eral from the agricultural lands in the mineral

Surveyors General to appoint three Commits

PLACER ROAD LAW.

we have received copy OF the road Dill
that has passed the Senate for this county,
from Senator Banvard, but at too late an
hour to more than merely glance at its pro-
visions. The bill gives the Supervisors abso-
lutte control over the roads and road.masters,
who are to be the mere creatures Of theirs
by appointment The Supervisors give no
bonds, and are amenabe to no penalties for
corruption and rascality. In this feature it
upscts every principle of republican govern
ment. No man can tell us why the people
are not just as capable of electing good road
masters as good Supervisors, and there
would be as much sense in requiring the
election of roadmasters, and that they should
have the appointment of our Supervisors, as
rice rcrsa There is no limit to the number
of roau districts to be created, and road
masters may swarm in every portion of the
county at tue will of the Supervisors. These
road masters can be removed at the will Of
tho Supervisors, and this will make them
the subservient tools of their Losses, the
Supervisors. 1t authorizes a road-master
and Supervisor, by collusion, to make con-
tracts for work or materials without limit as
to price and without giving the public a
chance to bid. Under this authority the
whole road fund of a district could be ex-
haustcd by the purchase of a ten-foot board
of the Supervisor, by his consent. 1t au
thorizcs the taking Of private property by
road-masters prior to its legal condemnation
and payment for the same. In this it is an
absolute, annoying nulty. 1t violates ev-
cry rule of law and equity in the condem-
nation Of private property the owner
Of property sue the county, in place of the
county itself instituting proceedings for the
condemnation of private property for public
use. These proceedings are to be had before
Justice of the Peacc-not a court Of re-
cord In these cases it authorizes private
individuals, petitioners for a road, to hire
lawyers at the county's expense, and it makes
the poor man give bonds for all costs before
he can sue the county to save his property
In these provisions the Act is an outrageous
license for mean robbery, and the only re-
deemng quality in it is, that it would be
unconstitutional and void if passed. 1t makes
proceedings in Justices court final, that is,
our justices supercede the Supreme Court,
and are the court of last resort, where the
most sae'ed rights of private property is at
stake, involving thousands of dollars, and
that too in the face of the constitution, which
forbids these justices from acting where over
$500 is involved. 1t gives the Supervisors
power to buy or contract for any and all
tol-roads in the county aciH,om limit as to
price, and contract debt for that purpose
against the county road fund. Space pre-
vents us from further comment now. The
bill, as a whole, is a monstrosity, and we do
hope our Assembymen will have the courage
and honesty to stranglc it in its swaddling
garments.

RECONCILIATION.
The F,neus Brand Of rIoar Eve

Tie ftneaf brand Of flour Ever
Made.
Some days ago we received a viait
from Mr. W. IL. Garrett, Southern agent
Of the Empire Mill Company Of St.
Louis. The next morning thereafter
the family man Of the LEDGER. accord
ing to his own report. ate some OF the
best biscuit Of his life. We spoke at
the time, as our readers will probably
remember, Of the new brand Of flour
called Reconciliation, for which SO much
was claimed, but declined to indorse the
brand or to speak favorably Of it until
we had tested its merits. When the
family man of the LEDGER took the
-four to his house he informed the cook
that the manufacturers claimed that this
was the fanciest of fancy -four, and the
very best made in the United States.
He asked that fair trial be given and
result reported. In little while there
after the cook admitted that too much
had moi. been claimed for the Reconcilia-
ton flour, and that the brand did honor
to the great Sage Of Chsppaqua, whose
portrait graced the head of the barrel.
When the bread was brought on the
table and the family had partaken of it,
they one and all pronounced it superior
to anything they had ever eaten before,
while the cook was perfectly delighted
to have -four in the house that good
bread could be made of every time with
out any trouble. AS we stated above,
we declined to speak Of the merits of
this -four till we had tried it, but now
that VIC have given it thorough test, We
can confidently recommend it as the
very best -four made, and this we do
cheerfully. We advise all our friends to
give the Reconciliation brand trial.
