WHAT GROCNDSl

The Sacramento Union recognizes in
Hon. Eugene Casserly a very formidable
opponent to Governor Booth in lis Senate
rial aspirations. 1t seems to think if Cas-.
serly can be defeated, Booths election will
be sure, and in its cndeavors 10 accomplish
this end It avas itself ef every opportunity
to throw dirt on Casserly's aaperations. We
entertain no hostility towi I'd Governor
Booth, nor have We any particular favorite
for tn position these gentlemen aspire to;
but we can not cit idly by and see sIurs and
unjust insinuations cast on the character OF
man who has done 80 much for the State
in an hour of need, and served his consitu-
ents SO true and faithfully as has Senator
Casserly. The Union intinates that Cas-
serly is in a measure allied with the monop-
oily, an insinuation for which there is no
foundation. 1t says: "Tlere is not one
Of the Federal brigade, FROM Sargent to
Postmaster Burton, of Stockton not one OF
the railroad brigade, from Stanford to the
Bee, that would not much rather zee Cas-
serly or any other mar elected to the Serate
than Governor Booth" an assertion which
is proven false from the one fact Alone that
the railroad journals are with th- Union il.
throwing Stumbling blocks in the way OF
C'sserly at every opportunity, while as re-
CARDS Governor Booth, their onl y real enc
my, as the Union woul make believe,
they seem to rest at perfect case Casser-
ly's chances for representing California in
the Senate for the next six years at present
seems as good as those of any other aspir-
ant, and as a very prominent candidate he
must necessarily stand the blunt of promi-
ncnt opposition. The fact is, Mr.. Union.
the Federal and monopoly brgades know
that Casserly is, and believe that Booth
as United States Senator, would be de-
termined opponent TO their interests, and
whose chance seems uppormost is the one
on whom the monopolists and Federal bri-
gade will heap their strongest denunca,ions
and the one they will do most to defeat

NEW SUPERVISORS.

The counties of California are divided un-
der the code, Sc: 40O6, in reference to Su-
Pervisors into three classes. "Those cottain-
ing eight thousand and under twenty thou
sand inhabitants constitute the second Glars "
Placer comes under this class, and we find
under rection 4122. that Supervisors of the
second class have to give bonds in the sum
Of ten the ussnd dollars, matter which our
Supervisors elect should attend to at once,
- it will be but n very short time Lefore
they will have to meet to transact business.
Under the Code the first business of the
new Board Of Supervisors is explained in
section 3714, which reads rs follows: "The
Board of Supervisors of each county must, j,
on the first Monday of October, fix the rate
OF county taxes, designating the number Of
cents on each hundred dollars of propert,
levied for each fund; and must levy the
State and county taxes upon the taxable
property Of the county" Their next meet
ing will b, on the 10Th Of October, as the
Code requires them, section 1887, to meet
on the first MOI day after each election, TO
canvass the returns; and their regular quar-
terly meeting will he on the first Monday
in November. Thus it wi be seen that
the new Board will SOON he called upon to
perform the duties Ct their important office,
and when they do once get started an un-
usual amount OF business will be forced
upon them in comparatively short time.
Another important matter which will hay,
TO be attended to when they organize, will.
he dividing themselves into classes, in refer
ence 10 short and long terms, as provided Ly
section 4027 Of the Political Code. Section
1929 provides that the Clerk Of the count,
is ex-otsicio Clerk of the Board of Super
visors, which is change from the old law
Ms the Recorder has Heretofore held that
position. AS the new Board are necessarily
inexperienced, and not supposed, either, to
be posted in regard TO these matters just
yet. we have thought it not out Of place ia
make mention of these facts for The benefit,
not alone of the Supervisors elect themselves,
as start, but for all who are seeking infor-
nation on these points.

STATE FAIR.

The twentieth annual State Fair of Cali
forna which commenced at Sacramento lae'
Monday, and which ends to-day, has, from
accounts, been the finest exhibition ever
held in the State, and the number of visi,
.ors have been equal if not greater than or
any previous occasion. The display Of
stock at the park has been great from the
first to the last; the stables have been all
well filled up with horses, sheep, goats,
swine and horned cattle, and though the
heat has been somewhat oppressive, the
races were one of the CLOSEST feature of the
Fair. Last year theexhbi,ion Of fine stock
was better than atany previous exhibition.
Tie Union incomparns this exhibition will
that OF lastyear says
1--WE thought at the time that il wonld bc
impossible to improve on the bulls, cows, cnlvt S
and yearlngs exhibited here last September,
but there is this year cons derably greater
number and shade better in quality. In the
exhibition of fine sheep there is more marked
improvement. and also III graded stock, both
horses and neat cattle. We doubt that an,
State Fair in the Union will be able this year
to show as splendid parade as this one in tn,
stock line. Something has been gained since
september, 1872, in the speed of both our run
uing and trotting horses. No course in the
United States, with the exception of tie Lex.
ington, Kentucky, course has shown as good
heat races we have had this year Cat the
Spring meeting) over The Union Park track
All the crack thoroughbreds of the State a, t
now here, and nearly all of them have acquired
some fresh achievement this week. In trottine
stock, for some cause not quite explained, oul
State Fairs up to this year had not shown an
equal improvement in favor of native-bred
horses. Probably the cause was that the most
promising colts and mares were overworked
before they had acquired sufficient age.
While California to- lay stands without
rival in the production OF fruit and cereals
it would seem that she is not long TO bt
behind in the quality Of her live stock. and
the speed OF her bloodcd horses; and
though young in the sistersood &C States
her manufactures are various and most
highly c;ediiable. From year to year hel
| abundant resources become more apparent
from year TO year che has advanced re-
markably in the production of everything
that gives wealth and comfort 10 her citi.
zens, and has made rapid strides in all tie
finer arts which tend to raise her people t,
that higher and nobler standard of ciyiliza
tion. Her citizens, in the recent roltica
contest have given the most satisfaction,
evidence of their ability and high appreci :.
ton Of self government, and when the
hydra-headed monster monopoly which has
stood aversc 10 their advancement, shal
have been thoroughly brought to succomt
to the laws, both State and rational Cal
iforn;a will soon take more exhalted sea-
and with coronet Of wealsh upon hel
brow, will be hailed by the world as t.,
Queen of the West.

Back again, dsrling9 O, day OF delight
How niahtI \ hays ionsed for you' morning non and
Watched t,, for you, pined for you, all the days
Craving no boon and no blessing but you:
Prayed for you, plead for you, sought you in
Striving forever to find you again:
Counting all anguish As naught II Imight
Clasp you again as clasp you tonight!
oh! have sorrowed and suffered so much
Since last answered your lips loving touch:
Through the night watches, in daylights
Anguished by visions and tortured by
dreams t I.
Dreams SO replete with bewildering pain,
Obi for dreamed-keep nao close TO your
Darling, on darling-I dreamed you had
Dreamed that ! stood by your pillow and
From your pale lips loves half uttered word |:
And by the light Of the May morning skies
Watched your face whiten, and saw your dear
eyes E
Gazing far into the Wonderful Land
"DarliHgn you whispered: "My dsrling"
Family, so family, ana then you were dead!
Oil the dark hours when I knsis by yops
Calling upon you TO love and to save: ..1
Pleading In vain for sign or word,
Only TO tell me you listened and heard:
Only to say you remembered and knew
How oil my soul was In anguish for you:
Bitter, despalrlng, the tears l she'd
Darling, Oil darling, because you were

Yot, in the midst Of the darkness and pain,
Darling knew should hnd you again!
Knew as the roses knew, under the snow,
How the next summer would set them Agiow;
So did always, the dreary days through,
Keep my heart single and sacred to you,
As on the beautiful day we were we'd,
Darling Oh! darling, although you have Ned.
Oh! the great joy Of awakening to know
| did but dream all that torturing woel
Oh the delight my searching can trace
Nothing Of coldness or change In your face?
still Is your forehead unfurr0wed and fair:
None OF the light is lost out OF your hair;
None OF the light from your dear eyes Is fed; I;
Darling, Oil how could dream you are

Now youere here, you will! always remain,
Never, Oil never TO leave me again!
How 1t has vanished, the anguish Of years!
Vanished-nay, these are not sorrowful
