IMPORTANT TO PRE-EMPI OKS.

We have received from Judge Fellows,
Receiver of the Sacramento U. S. Land Or
flee, an important land circular which we
publish on our fourth page to-day. There
is quite large class of pre-emptors in this
county that now have but till the 22d of next
month to commence proceedings for final
proof and payment for their land. The date
of filing the Declaratory Statement will show
pre-emptors whether their time will expire on
the 22d of March ornot ,and we cannot tell who
are in danger unless we see the certificate
of filing the Declaratory Statement, or have
the exact date Of ts fling in the Land Office.
The consequences of neglecting this matter
is clearly set forth in letter from the Com
missioner of the General Land Office to the
Register in San Francisco, extracts of which
we print below. We will cheerfully give
any of our friends such information as we
can on the matter, if they will call on us or
send letters giving the exact day of filing
their Declaratory Statement.
"Aftcr filing has expired by limitation Of
law you are to treat the land described by it as
if no filing had ever been made for it, save in the
single instance Of the party making it Offering
HIS proof and payment prior to the initiation OF
valid adverse claim. In of conflicting
claimants for the same land it is of course sulfi
cient that they commence proceedings prior to
the expiration of the period for proof and pay
ment Their action however, must be regular
and legal. Where pre-emptors are delayed IN
mrking their final proof, etc, by n suspension
of the plats, they entitled to the same period
after their restoration as they would have had If
no such disability had existed.
"A claimant cannot be allowed to file second
time for the same land, on expiration of the legal
period allowed for entry, alleging new settle
ment. Such declaration would be Il manifest
contradiction in terms of the facts alleged in his
filing already on record, and would amount
to qualification of the claimant which this
Office cannot legally permit If parties, there
fore, allow the legal limit to expire without max
lug proof and payment, they do so at their own
peril, and cannot be protected after such laches
against an adverse interest legally acquired
On the contrary, the Ia" will be strictly appli, q
in faver of srch adverse claimant, and his lega
right will be secured to him whenever he shai
present himself in conformity with the require
ments of law and demand its recognition Re
pectfully, WILLIS DRuMMoND, Commissioner

PLACER vs.. G. =. X. X. TAX SUIT.

We are indebted to j. M. Fulweiler for
a printed copy of his brief and authorities in
the above case filed in the Supreme Court of
the State. There are no two opinions as to
how the Supreme Court will decide this ques-
tion (this question being identical with that
of 1868, which the county won) but as the
Company is only fighting it with lawyers
hired hy the year ard for delay, Dis
trict Attorney Fulweler has the same la
Dor and vexation as if it were new case, on
which there had been no previous ruling.
1t is now said the company is trying to get
out injunctions to restrain the Tax Collectors
of Placer and Nevada counties from selling
the railroad property for taxes. Stanford,
Your pimp lawyers numbering scores
Are by the people counted bores;
Then 60 ye slow go ye fast,
Your taxes We shall pay at last.

THE TELEGRAPH MONOPOLY.

Of late it has become fashionable with the
Republican railroadized press to cry out
against the Associated Press andNhe telegraph
monopoly This we do not care for, as that
class of papers have been in favor of CEN
tralized Government from the days of Alex
ander Hamilton down to the pigmy states
man, Grant. But when we see papers Of
the Democratic, Liberal and Conservative
persuasion, that have alwa VS. defended States
rights and fought against the grasping power
of the general Government, lending their aid
and voice in favor of the Federal Government
assuming control of the telegraph lines of the
country, we feel bound to enter our protest
against it. For Democratic papers to advo-
cate the surrender of the telegraph to the
present Administration is no worse than to
advocate the adjustment of State govern
men's and the establishment of an absolute
empire at once. 1t is shameless stulifi-
cation of everything Democratic, and danger
Gus to free institutions. TO make the tele-
graph agents officers of the government would
be a censorship over both the public and pri-
vate business of the country. Should a prop
osition be made that government officers, al
ways officers of one political party, should
open and read all matter going through the
mails, it would alarm to frenzy the whole
country, and yet there would be little more
cause for alarm than in the one now under
consideration. The power of the Federal
Government is now sufficient as was shown
IN the last election to perpetuate the men who
control it in Office All men on this coast
and especially all newspaper men, must know
that when the Government can control the
telegraph news, it can also make that news
carry any election in the Pacific States. We
have no special love for the Associated Press
of California nor for the Western Union Tel,
egraph company, but we cannot think Of the
General Government taking possession of the
telegraph system Of the country, without Sc
rious alarm. If the Government owned and
controlled the telegraph lines of the whole
country to-day it would cost the people more
for their pubic and private telegraph news
than it now does, by one hundred per cent.
Notwithstanding the high tariffs of the West
ern Union company. lf the tariff of prices
were apparently reduced large appropriations
OF the peoples money to make good the de-
fciency would annually have to be made
The Government cannot compete with pr-
vate enterprise, and should keep its hands
off of everything that can be done through
non-offcial hands. Wells, Fargo Il Co. now
carry letters on this coast for one.ihird less
than does the Government, and gives twice
the expedition and satisfaction that is given
| by the L. S. mails. The doctrine of the
! Democrats and Liberals is to curtail the
powers of the General Government and not to
enlarge them, and we cannot regard any
Liberal or Democratic paper as sound or
worthy of party support that advocates or is
even neutral on this postal telegraph quos
ton. All such require reconstruction, as
well as both our National and State Govern
ment's s rascalites.

A COOP ONE-Ellott (colored), who was
beaten by Patterson for the United States
Senatorsbip by the coored members of the
Legislature, publishes card showing that
the negro members all sold their votes to the
white carpet-baggers. To this brother Bell
Of the San Francisco Elerator, colored men S
paper, says this is proof positive of the iden-
hty Of the races; Caldwell, of Kansas,
bought white legislators to elect him to the
Senate, and Patterson, of South Carolina,
bought negro members to elect him; there
fore negroes are no better than white men.
When they keep company with Republicans

SHARP PRACTICE.
number of propositions were sprung upon
the House yesterday and passed; among them
was Mr. Poland's resolution. providing for pay
ing the expenses OF contestants, etc During
the vote on it, Gen. Hamilton, of Connecticut,
caused quite.a stir by having the rule read which
prohibits members from voting on questions in
which they have personal interest. For a short
while there was lively time among the impli
Gated members-some Withdrawing their votes
and others explaining their positions. This in
direct slap at certain National bank and railway
stockholders, who have heretofore voted square
III favor Of measures in viii, h they We're inter
ested, caused great deal of comment, and it
was long before the Speaker could restore order.
In the midst of the excitement thus occasioned,
Mr.. Hazleton. of Wisconsin, passed his bill, vr-
tually repeating the bankrupt Act, by n vote of
l29 ayes to two nays. He has long claimed that
the present bankrupt law is rather a protection
Tor rogues than honest men The House, on
second sober thought, was rather startled at its
own hasty action. 1t is thought that the Senate

AN exchange wants to know what brought
up with round turn means. We suggest
it is hawser thrown around snubbng post
that halts and holds a water craft. Perhaps
more aptly illustrated by a vaquero casting Il
RATA aronnd the horns of wild steer and
taking few turns with the other end around
the horn of the saddle, which, nine times out
often, brings the steer up with round turn,
landing him with his heels where his head
was. 1t is applicable to the Credit Mobier
Congressman if the investigating committee
proves a staunch snubbing post.

day. Senators think it his duty ro rise in tht
Senate and explain, and only hald back from
investigating him because he goes out at the end
of this session. The Chronicle, his own paper
whnes in doleful tones, and tries to make his
case less black by in;imatng that Mr.. Allison
beat him fol the Senate by bribery and at a cost
three times great as it cost to elect him seven
years ago. Poor Harlsn his cant and hypocrisy
that has been his best card so long, don't stand

THE INDIANS.
The Indian Commission made q report to the
Secretary Of the Interior, on the proper control
and government OF the various Indian tribes. 1t
prov des for the reservation system, and prohlbi-
ton of intoxicating liquors and freedom from the
presence of white men, except servants Of the
Government with plans for the location of the
different tribes and their education in the simpler
industrial calhngs of civilized life. This plan
seems to be praot cal, and il put into operation,
without being manipulated by the Indian ring,
would no doubt be successful, and beneficial to
the Indians.
FREEDMEN's BUREAU.
This political machine was fraud in its incep-
ton q swindle in its workings and it's death is of
piece with its birth and life. An investigation
discoses the loss of important papers and books.
This trick has not the merit of originality, being
a mere imitation of the Tweed ring in their en-
deavors to cover up their tracks. Gen. Howard
ba f,,l no mic he
has been called upon for SO, ,754, to make good a
deficiency Gen Balloch, his right hand man,
is accused of sharp practices, and the 100000
said to have been placed in the hands Of O. c.
French by Gen. Balloch, is not forthcoming. The
! pious hypocrte, Howard, and his satellites are n
precious crew, and if justice We're not 80 badly
cheated, they would be playing checkers with
their noses through the bars of penitentiary.

POSTAL TEIFGRPH .

The bill for the union of the telegraph with
the postal service, which received the unanimous
vote of the Senate Post-ofiice Committee will
come up for consideration tomorrow This bill
provides that all post-ofIices near 'elegraph
circuits shall be made postal telegraph Offices.
This will give from 5000 to 5000 new offices
without discontinung any old ones. The rates
will be reduced one-half, and the length of the
message increased over so per cent, and for 25
cents message of 20 words can be sent at night
1000 miles. The rates to the press will be re-
duced to great an extent, and for Is cents q
message of 100 words can be sent 500 miles The
system will be in harmony with the mail service,
letters and te egrams being received and deiiv-
cred through the post-otfice. This plan will give
cheap telegaphy without cost to the Govern
ment. as the postage of five cents, to be paid on
each telegram, will cover al expenses. A large
number of Democrats in Congress favor the
measure, some on its own merits, and others be-
canse they are convinced that if this plan is not
now adopted, the next Congress will force Cres-
wells Administration scheme G overnment tele-
graph-on the country This reason VIII no
doubt induce an almost solid Democratic vote
