on this eide cf the continent in favor of n
National Centennial Celebration was held
at Corinthian Hall, San Francisco, last Sat.
urday evening The meeting was presided
over iy Mayor elect Otis. and among the
vice presidents we notice the names of
many Of the most popular and influential
men Of San Francisco. A simple announce
ment in the daily papers had been sufficient
to draw. an immense audience-more than
thc ball could hold, which shows that nc
small degree Of interest is felt on the sub.
ject ia this State. Mr.. Oils briefly stated
the object of the meeting. lie said that
both the Centennial Commission and Board
Of Finance to raise funds for tie National
Centennial Anniver ary to he held in Phil
Adelphia in 1876, were Incorporated and
srgan;zed under specS,i acts Of Congress.
Stock certificates aie 10, be issued to the ex
tent Of $40, 600, ,00o, ih awounts of $40

liabilities to attach to stockholders. 1t s
estimated that the receipts and profits from
the Exposition will be such as to return at
least the whole on final distribution. The
amount propoltoned TO California is sl45,
O00." Mr.. Olis, after a glowing desorip-
sion Of what the nation had accomplished
since its birth, ard the immense st.adss ii
the advancement Of civilization it lad made
in the time of its existence, concluded
with the following stirring appeal to the
loyalty Of the people Of this State.
"Now, to you Californans who have

AUBURN, Nov. &c, 1873.

AUBURN, Nov. 26, 1873.
ED. HERALD
! noticed in the Argus of last week an article
headed "Ihe Meat Swinde." The editor OF
that paper says he does not mean by this that
the butchers of Auburn are swindlers, but that
the Supervisors are set of partial. ignorant
robbers that in giving me the contract to sup
ply the County Hospital with meat, they have
swindled the county out Of $685. The editor Of
the argus, while pretending that the county is
swindled, presents the matter in such light
that the most ignorant must know he is lying.
Did not the HERALD show facts and figures last
week that prove conclusively that in proportion
to the number to be fed the meat will cost the
county $500 less per year than at the prices
paid heretofore? Then, pray, where does the
swndle come in? Too thin-too thin, Mr. Ar
gus too thin, Messrs. Argus correspondents;
stir up your brains, abandon your prejudice,
heal up your soreness, and put on your specs,
md you will be able to see the matter in another
light. and will, if you have any sense and +
spark of consistency left, hunt mp a more plans,
ible theme for di icusson. The Arg,is man
knows that when put in my proposition to fur
nish the Hospital W tn meat, | said | would fur
nsh good average meat, such as l am selling 10
he hotels. for ten cents per pound. When my
proposition was opened it was the only one b., =
fore the Board. But Dodsw orth & Co. found
ont what had offered to furnish the County
with meat for, and at once proposed to furnish
such meat as had been used heretofore for 6Ls
cents per pound. 1t was evident that the object
Of Dodsworth d Co. in proposing to furnish tn,
meat 81 low, was to keep me from getting tht
contract. or, if | should get it, they wanted to
for it on me at such low figures that / would
lose money by it; for any sane person know S
chat meat cannot be sold and delivered for G1,
cents per pound. / started n butcher shop at the
request of nay friends in and around Auburn, and
since started, I, of course, have right to solicit
share Of the public patronage. All know the
I'D firm of Dodsworth Il Co have had the meat
business IN their own hands and managed bust
uess to suit themse yes for some yeas. And
because the Supervisors gave me the contract in
! fair way, and at n greatly reduced price from
what has been rad heretofore. l do not see
where the ArqtS finds grounds for calling it a
'windle The Argus is sore and sick because it
lid not get the county printing and any person
$ really surprise after all that it thinks those
who brought on its raw .ngs set of mean men,

and are willing to admit. And this is only
proof of what we have always preached,
that no party could long be- regarded with
favor by the American people that at
tempted to encroacl, on States Rights. and
advocated high protective tariff. These
doctrines are opposed TO the inherent pril:-
cip|es Of our government. They are the
curaing principles Of the Republican party,
for it ls through these principles that the
corruption which now so imnineutly threat

YET AGAIN.

Again is our on-comprehens'e. soft
soap, soft-bained. tender-skinnea nes!bors :
pliahle sheet filled with lot Of nonsensia'
twaddle about the awful crimes perpe-
trated by NJ. Hoffman and the Placer HER
AID, in receiving the contracts for doing GER
tain work and furnishing certain supplies for
the county. The whole nonsensical twad-
die illustrates the groans Of a man unable to
escape pain. Evidently cornered by our
plain, candid, truthful explanation of the
.ffair, they ire hunting around for a rat
hole through which to escape. The fool
headed, one. eyed correspondent, who cant
afford name. don't know why we took
the pains to assert what no one had denied.
That correspondent s either ignorant or n
liar, or be would know the -i,'gus abused
the Supervisors before We ever said word
Bat we have said enough. The peoI c
throughout the county are lie Ginning to un-
terstand the truth OF the matter, and as
fast as they do they say Amen TO the ae-
lions of the Supervisors. We would just
mention that "a. F. need have no fear
of the HERALD "passing in its checks" as
Ling as wo stay with it, which will proba
by be some time yet, if the good Lor will
let us live in health. We ask no greater
glory than the opportunity to fight rascal,
expose meanness, denounce corruption, and
uphold the right. And to know that we
are right, with the right and for the right, is
all we ask, ID we will allow ourself to be
reduced to beggary rather than reliuqush cur
cause to an unscrup ,'cus, unholy. unprinci-
pied foe. With this much for the present,
we pass by the whole mess of damphoolery
and false twaddle, and with our correspond
ence on this matter deem that we have said
more than the Argas' lying bosh deserves.

EDITOR HERALp:--I do not intend to occu]
much of your valuable time and space by L.
'w.ring all the trash l see in the Argus. But o
cond,Lse the whole matter l will answer the
questions propounded in that sheet by asking
some others.
/. Did the Board Of Supervisors call for any
proposals except for building the addition TO tn,
County Hospital?
2. Did not the Supervisors award that to tie
lowest bidder?
8. Have not the Supervisors fgal right to
make contract with party without calling fol
bids?
II the Argus man comedies this, then the only
question that arises is; did the Board let tn,
contract at a fair and reasonable price? Or die
they contract with parties at extort;onate rates
II the Argus man answers in the affirmative
the last query, then he has basmeared his
expense of the county, for the contract price
with the HERALD is less than We have been pay
ing the Argus. All this trash about the meat
swinde, printing swindle, ETC., is merely gott, n
up for political effect, and because they have
been kept away from the corn-crib. You see,
Mr.. Editor that as long as they bad their fingers
in the pie everything was fair and lovely, even
at higher rates than We Pay now. But now
that tha pap has gone from their gaze everything
| is fraud aud swindle.
observe the Argus man in talking of the
Supervisor from District No. ], alludes to him
| as Napoleon, but you would infer from his re-
marks that he means liliputian Napoleon
Now, don't care anything abuot this; but it is
scarcely justice to himself; it will diminish his

| iiputian as the cause of lis defeat Poor
| fellow ! am sure have no claims 70 Napoleoni,
| qualifications, and nobody will accuse him OF
being Wellington. In answer to one of the
questions Of the Argus, will say that ! am moi
conscious Of having Gone any injustice to the
people OF the county excepting that little tit
bit Of his-thats1G 95 that the Board detected
and cut down for r-charging the Argus man
said he eidn't want it; said he only wanted the
Board to understand before they adjourned
that ne did not mean to rob the county. How
silly Who would ever think Of that man ov,
