IMPORTANT NOTICE.

All notices and advertisements in this
county, except for the county, required by
law to be published must appear in the
PLACER HERALD, or they are roid and in
violation of law. Under solemn Act of the
Legislature we entered into contract with
its legal agent, Judge Reardan, to do this
work from the 11th day of April, 1870, to
the LIST day of January, 1876. We entered
into penal bonds, justified in SIS 900, to do
this work in strict accordance with law (at
rates 80 per cent. below those ruling at the
time) for the above period and to furnish to
officers of the State and county S316.25
worth of papers free of charge; and also to
make good in money all damage advertisers
might sustain by reason of our failure to do
the work correctly. This was our part of
the contract. The States part was to grant
us the franchise to do all this work within
the limits of Placer county, and to compel all
such work to be done in and by the PLACER
HERALD. A contract cannot be annulled
without the consent of all the parties to it,
and a franchise cannot be withdrawn while
its conditions are being complied with. "No
State can pass any law impairing the oblga-
tions of contract" Two District Judges
have already Zone of them, Judge Rolfe,
appointed by Governor Booth) held that the
law was constitutional and the contracts
binding for the periods named. The Su-
preme Court decisions are numerous sustain
ing this as good law. One we will mention
A contract was made with Estill by mere
committee giving him $l20, 900 a year for
ten years, for keeping the State prisoners.
Two years after the law was repealed
the State was sued; Judge Mc-Kinstrey
held the contract good Notwithstanding the
law uuder which it had been made had been
long since repealed, and the Supreme Court
sustained the Court below. This is sufficient
for all sensible and prudent men, We saynow
to officers and their bondsmen, and to all others
men in this county who have legal adver-
tisng, not to fall into the fatal mistake of
publishing it in any other paper than the
PLACER HERALD, and thereby involve your
selves in difficulty and heavy loss. Don't
heed what You see in small sheets bummng
for advertising.

TIE PRESS on GREELEY.

The National Gazette, the Democratic
organ of Nevada county, Gvors Greeley
aud Brown, and says
1.-THE Cincinnati Convention has given to the
people II ticket well worthy of the consideration
of thoughtful and patriotic men of all parties.
The Sonoma Democrat wants the Liberal
Republicans to support Democratic candi-
date, but is for Greeley against Grant. The
Mariposa Gazctte says: 1.-The Democracy
have the Presidential election in their own
hands" The Monitor, the most influential
paper on this coast among Irisbmen, favors
Greeley and says in effect: Democratic or
no Democratic candidate, Horace Greeley
will receive heavy Irish vote, all of which
will come from the Democratic ranks. The
San Jose .A,g,,S (Dcm.) s,ys:
"These nominations are acceptable to honest,
liberty loving men of all parties. There is no
comparison between Greeley and Grant, and be-
tween the two, we would go for Greeley on
grounds of patriotism as well from personal
preference.
The Fresno Elpositoy (Dem.) says: "lt
Republican is to be elected President, we
certainly prefer Greeley" The San Joaquin
Republican, one of the best Democratic
papers on the coast, though ofiish at first,
now says nineteen out Of every twenty
Democrats lit has seen are for endorsing
Greeley, and that the State Central Com
mittee is a unit for him. The Red Bluff
Sentinel concludes its say thus
1--WE are in favor of endorsing the nomination
of Mr.. Greeley and we are sincere in the hope
that he may receive the undivided support of
the Democratic party"
The Marysville Standard lind. J says:
"Thcre is nobody worried but Grant Radicals,
who generally admit that if the Democrats have
the sense to endorse Greeley that he will be sue
| cessful."
The Yreka Union, edited by the able and
true Senator Irwin, says:
"If, however, circumstances should indicate,
rs most probably they will, that the endorsement
of the Liberal Republican nominees, or the
refusal to make any nominations in opposition,
would result in the election OF Greeley and
Brown, it would then be the plain duty of the
Convention to make no separate nominations.
The Chico Enterprise (Dem.) ably edited
ply w. p. Tilden, is for endorsing Greeley,
and voting for principles and not men.
The Mountain Democrat says if Greeley
can show Republican strength enough added
to ours to elect him, it will be the duty of
our Convention to nominate him.
The Grass Valley Union (Ind.) is strong
for Greeley.
With but three exceptions, every Demo
cratic paper in the State have expressed
their willingness to support Greeley if in
dorsed by the Democratic Convention.

A BAD LEAK.

The Deputy Revenue Collector of the 4th Dis
trict, who has his office in Nevada county has
sent notices by mil to many of the residents of
A ,bnrn dem,nlins within ten daysthc pay
ment Of their licenses, and in addition thereto
four cents per mile from Nevada City to this
place as mileage Being a distance Of 81 miles
the per ccntage charged would DO Sl.24. We are
not aware to whnt extent these notices have been
served in this wise, but presume that they have
been thus served NIL over the revenue district
This is very nice picking for the Collector, aud
as hc is unquestionably governed by the law We
ask who is to take and carry the RESPONSE
bllitylof this law by which he is governed? Who
has authorized the Deputy Collector Of this reve-
nue. district, embracing hundreds of miles, to sit
in his Office at Nevada City, and simply by the
scratch of apen wiring from the people hundreds
of dollars, as n,i'eaV.' To use the inildest term
it Is an outrage and n swindle. We are sure that
but few persons in Placer county, and we have
not heard of any, who knew where the Revenue
Collectors Office was. and like hunting after a
needle in haystack it has been very difficult to
find. In all the communities in which we have
over resided it has either been the law or it has
been customary for Collectors to give public no.
ticc of the time and places when and where taxes
would be received, but it would seem that the
Collectors under the present Administration have
thought proper to dispense with the ordinary
course Of proceeding in such cases. md like the
eat after the mouse waiting the time when they
could pounce upon the citizen and mako him
pay mileage from his post-oflco address, no
mattor in what portion of the district he may
side. to Nevada, mt the rate OF four cents per
mile Taxes have become 80 numerous, local,
county, State and Federal, nowadays that if
this system is universally adopted the only safety
for tho citizen will be for him every morning to
look over his tax receipts lest he bc mulcted in
mileage for miles traveled--thc travel consisting
Of letter sent by mail The revenue officers of
this district have bcen changed often, and their
places OF business removed so frequently. that
business men never know where to find them.
The offices Of collector and assessor to-day are
separated, tomorrow consolidated and the next
day separated again, and on. We do not think
the present Deputy Collector was over in Auburn,
nnd IL so hc did not make himself known to the
taxpayers. Again nsk, who is responsible
for himself. We will suggest the following rem
edy, that instea Of sending men to Congress
who give their entire time and attention to log
rolling thisving railroad bills through Congress,
and making Presidents, that the people send
men there who will give their attention to the
interests and welfare Of tho people. That's all.
