BAD USE TO PUT MEN To.-On Wednesday.
the 14th inst. John Divine, alias the chicken,
was hanged in San Francisco, and on Thurs
day, the 18th, Charles Finn. alias Morti-
mer, was hanged in Sacramento. This is
poor use to put men to. They had better
have been put to work in the State Prison
for life. Divine confessed, repeated and
died in hope and resigned. Finn played
Srazy till the drop was sprung, and went
- eternity to all appearances just as he
had lived. Sheriff Dunnam, who was pres
ent At the execution, at the invitation Of
Sheriff Bryte, of Sacramento, says Morti-
mer showed sanity in being particular to
have his feet carefully and accurately on the
platform, 10 there might be no bungling in
bis execution.

report made to the Supervisors on printing

Clerk if we arc to consider the report
made by him, as being made under the So

suppression of fact or the eeloring Of a
truth was both moral and legal purjury or
not. We hold that the Clerk was bound to
make this report under oath, but is be has
made it only as a member of the Court

an attorney would give an srpartee statement
to client for bis money only, then we must
treat it in different light. We wish to
start right in discussing this matter, and will
regard it as favor mutually beneficial to
the clerk and ourself if he will fairly
and candidly answer this question now.

POLL.TAX COLLECTOR.

There has been contest going on in this
county for the last fifteen months as TO
who were the legal pol-tax collectors, the
Assessors or district Collectors. The Auditor
maintained that the Collectors were the
proper officers, and gave them the blank re-
ceipts. A few months ago we published the
legal opinion Of Greed Raymond, that the
Assessors were the legal collectors, and also
the opinion of District Attorney j. NJ. Full
weller, f. L. Craig and Gen. Hamilton,
that the Collectors were the legal officers to
perform this service. j. II. Mitchell, As
SCISSOR district No. one, sued out manda-
mus before the Supreme Court, to compel
Auditor Crosby to deliver to him the blank
receipts for his district, and the mandamus
is ordered by the court. The writ was
served on Crosby, Wednesday, and is as
follews:
"Now, therefore, we do command you,
Immediately after service Of this writ, to
deliver to the said petitioner a sufficient
quantity of such blank receipts for his use
in said district, as the collector thereof, and
that hereafter, at the time prescribed by
law, you deliver to him on demand a like
quantity of all blank poll-tax receipts that
may hereafter be delivered to you by tie
Treasurer of your said county. And hereof
fail not, at your peril, and make due return
of your proceedings under this writ to this
court within five days alter its service upon

THE LIES NAILED

A writer in the Observation-Disclosures
with empty head and malignant heart. faith
ers what in substance is about % follows:
The letter is dated Lincoln" but should
have been Colfax or Auburn. First, the
Argus published the proceedings Of the In
stitute in full; second, the HERALD publish
ed garbled and unintelligble report; third,
the HERALD charged for what it proclaimed
as news matter; fourth, Superintendent Kin
kade paid the HERALD five dollars for pub
fishing the proceedings Of the Institute; fifth,
the Republican party owns paper in Au-
burn. Such a string Of foolish les 1t is a
lie that the letter was written at Lincoln.
Lincoln and all western Placer does not con-
tain such fool But we will answer this
string of lies se,'i alum. First, it is a lie
tina. the Arqus published the proceedings in
fnll on the 10Th day Of April or at any other
time. One days proceedin gs that was pub
lisbed in the Z rERALD on the 10Th Of April
never appeared ii, the argus; second, it is
lie that the HERALD report was either garbled
or uninteligible; third, it is lie that the
HERALD either charged or received cent for
what it proclaimed as news; fourth, it is
lie that the HERALD charged or that Kinkade
paid it five dollars or cent for publishing
the proceedings of the Institute; and fifth, it
is lie that the Republicans have paper
of their own n Auburn. Every man of in
telligence in Placer county knows that the
argus is the organ Of the Auburn ring and
the railroad monopolists, that it dare not ut
ter word without the consent of the ring or
some of Stanford's agents. So much for the
poor puke that forged the lying letter on the
respectful le locality of Lincoln. He is sup
posed to want his name on the ring Mobier
slate for County Superinten ent of common
schools. We tell him now that when the pa
rents Of Placer county want scboolmaster-
general to teach their children to lie they will
choose one that can invent decent lies, tl,a,
they cannot be caught in and exposed at
every turn. The Argus chick yielded to his
instincts and penued few lies to make
tail to the snake. He says, eve published
the proceedings" meaning those of the Insti-
tute, and his own files tell him that's lie.
He says Kinkade asked what he charged
for publishing the proceedings. Kinkade,
if put on the stand, will have 10 swear that s
lie. The other lies published on Superin-
tendent Kinka6e he is able to attend to-
Now all these dirty falseboods flow from the
fact that the Argus was caught trying to
flch $12 from the School Fund on the 22nd
of February, Washington's birthday ami
versary, for publishing long letter as all
advertisement, when the HERALD contained
the gist of the matter as news. The pap
sucker of the Argus would be a very bad
man if he only had courage and sense. We
beg pardon of our readers for describing the
above purile falsehoods in the very language
Websters dictionary lays down as suitable.
