TIE OAKLAND WARD BILL. Our
Sacramento correspondent ventilates
some of the iniquities of the Oakland
Ward Bill, by which it would seem that
the California Democrats have studied
the lesson of genuine political meanness
set them by the Democracy of other
States. In this Oakltnd case they have
simply copied from the precedents set by
North Carolina Democrats in rcdstric-
ting the city of Wilmington, by which a
place giving over one thousand Republi-
can majority was placed under Democra-
tic government. Such abuses of power
only rebound to the injury of the party
which puts them in practice, and all the
Democrats lack are plenty of opportuni-
ties and they will play themselves out
fast as we could wish.

A SETTLED QUEsTIoN.-The question
as to whether o'yens debts ale taxable
property or not has been once more dc
cided by the Supreme Court, this time
aga n the neg tive. Unless that learn
ed body concludes to stultily itself again
we presume that decision will stand as
law until the status of that kind Of prop
c t. is settled by consti u ional legis a
tim. We think the decision wrong in
principle though it may be right in law ;
the Shylocks who live by their cent, per
cent will be the only ones to reap the
ad, a ltages. or course under the Eetd
Of solvent debts will be included mort
cages county script, notes,of hand and
book accounts are included in this decis-
ion, and one result of it will be large
dc r;ase of assessments, especially in this
county, whero evidences of indebtldness
lave formed n fair proportion of the
assessment roll.

New HAMPSHIRE The election in
New Hampshire which will take place on
the l4th Of next month, will be the first
held this year. A Governor and Lcgsla-
ture, are t. be elected. The New York
Times in reviewing the political situation
in that State, says : "ThoUgh the con-
test will be close, the Republicans are
likely to be well united this year, and
will work with zeal and enthusiasm, in.
spired by II very strong hope of complete
success. They are in better trim than
lhey have been for the last two years"
New Hampshire has been quite evenly
dlvid d at State elections since the war,
but has not failed since the Republican
putty was oaganized to give a majority
for its Presidential candidates, and we
telieve will not fail TO do so in this Cen
tennial year.

SOME Of our exchanges have gone after
s ma or Tinnin trough" for bis action
in ref r'nce TO the jackson Relief Bill.
When the bill was vetoed by Governor
Boo'h four years ago, we knew then,
ON the temper shown by The Lcgisla
tire, that it was only matter of tine
when jackson would get what he asked.
Jactson had violated Federal law which
conii!cted with a State law and that was
enough to carry to him the sympathy of
every Bourbon Democrat in the State.
1t was only N Aces ary for the Democrats
to g't full control Of the State to insure
MIR. Jackson the amount he asked. The
) at would have saved money by pay
ing the claim when first presented four
years ago.

WILL COME OCT ALL RIGHT.-The
old firm Of Upton & Bunt, which was.
owing to the unlocked for decline in wool
and the great stringency in the money
market, compelled to suspend on Friday
evening last, will, we are told, have mat
ters properly fixed up in few days when
business in that department will move on
as if nothing had happened. An expert
has been examining matters the past
week and finds that their assets are large
ly in excess ofthcir liabilities, which gives
confidence to their creditors who have as
one man declared their willingness to
give them all the time asked for to meet
their liabilities. Therefore with these facts
before US we feel warranted in saying
that this old firm will be all right in a
few days.-Red BtuU Sentinel, 10th.

SAFETY ON THE RAIL.-Chas. frahcls
Adams Jr., has made series of investi-
CATION and compiled statistics showing
that only one railroad passenger in 9'Ooo'
900 is killed, and only one to l,5Oo'Ooo is
even so much as bruised. In the year
1874 only one person was killed on all the
Massachusetts, railroads, while 76 were
killed by accident in the city Of Boston
In fact it seems to be considerably safer
