The CREDIT SIDE OF THE TRAMP
LEpeKR.-The trsmp's reputation as
gentleman Of leisure whose impulses are
coed, albeit his habits are bad, and who,
like Joseph Poorgrass, "feels his humble

him to stay over n ight, but entertained him

THE CREDIT SYSTEM.

With the exception of few limited
interests-and these all dependent upon
the mines-Trinity county produces moth
ing but gold. OF this we may be said to
have enough-that is, there 10 almost al
ways sufficient money in the county with
which 10 transact all ordinary business.
Yet cash purchases or sales are of com-
psratively rare occurrence. All busines.
here is conducted on credit basis. Our
merchants buy on time and sell on time.
This they are compelled to do because
their customers are averse to paying cash.
High prices accordingly prevail, for when
man demands credit accom- notation
he must surely pay for it. If he does
not, otaers must. Under the credit
system, the good must pay for the bad in
addition to their own just charges. All
agree that the credit system is q fraud, a
teo much credit is certain. In the Ian
guage Of an exchange, everybody COM
plains of it, yet every body INDUCES in it,"
Throughout California it is the same. No
matter how small a purchase man
makes, nor how much money he may
have in his pocket at the time, it must be
charged" We all do it, forgetting Cor
the nonce the benefits to be derived frsin
a strict compliance with the old adsge
PAY rs you GO" fhere are those
among us whs are we'll off in this worlds
goods and have money at interest, yet do
not think OF paying cash when they make
purchase. Store bills are settled once or
twice year. and the man who loans his
money at one per cent = month, in the
end pays the merchant not less than two
and frequently sore on his supplies when
he buys on credit. We care not how
honest man may be nor how sound his
financial standing, no business man can
afford to sell him goods and wait six
months for his pay at the same price as
he would sell for cash. Could business
here be brought to cAsh basis-and il
ought to bs-all would be gamers there
by. But men who can just as easily psy
cash have it charged, while few are

THE RAILRoAD.-Th Q last 20 miles of
road on the c. &. o. railroad, was re-
csived by the Govern nent = few months
ago. and next year the company ia oblig-
ed to build an additional twenty miles,
at least. though we hear 1t stated from
prominent railroad men that they will
build enough TO last three or four years,
or may put up the road clear through 10
the Oregon line. A proposition from the
German bondholders, owning the Oregon
branch. to furnish the money at very
low rate of interest, is said to be under
consideration by the c. P. R. r. as the
latter has been using all its surplus capi-
tai on the Southern Pacific in Arizona to
head eff Tom Scot, besides building u
new short line via Bsntss, TO Sacrainen-
TO, over which trains will be run the 1st
ofneIt month. The O. P. r. r. Co.
claim that the road to Reading does not
pay, except during the harvest season,
nor can it be made to pay unless finished
through to Portland, and secure the Ore
gon travel and trade. II the G. 7. r. r.
Co., however, conclude TO forfeit their
franchise, the German bondholders are
ready to take it off their hands, and build
the road through frsm Reading to Rose
burg. We trust that one or the other
lot Of capitalists will put it through as
soon as possible, as every body appears
anxious to lock out for The engine while

THE --LATEST FISH SToRY.-Thssw sweet
est little fish story of the season is told by
Frank Abbott, of Burlington, lows. At
Clear Lake dwells little girl who takes
ride every day in small skiff drawn
by two pickerel. They are regularly
harnessed, and by means Of lines she is
enable to guide thcn in any direction
The fish are about three feet in length,
weigh between seven and eight pounds
each, and are very powerful. When the
girl has tired efriding she drives the pick
eres to a boat house, where a commodious
glass aquarium made expressly for them,
and fed. When she goes to the tank to
harness them for ride. the pickersls jump
almost into her arms, so glad. apparently
are they to see her. The young miss has
been offered 81 900 for her team.

DEATH or Ex GOVERNOR HAIGHT.-
On Monday last. Henry Ii. Haight,
Governor OF California from 1867 to 1871,
died in San Francisco, of heart disease, at
the age Of So years. Governor Haight
was widely know on this Coast, having
beea a resident since January 1850, and
engaged during all that time in the prac-
tics OF law at San Francisco. He was
one Of ths few men prominent and active
in political affairs who from first to last
merted and received the respect and ap-
probation Of all classes ofcitizens. While
some of his acts as Governor wore not
approved by his political opponents, none
ever question his integrity. As "a member
elect to the Constitutional Convention Of
this State much WAS expected of him,
and no member of that body was voted
FOR with more confidence than was Gov
Haight. In his private capacity as cit
zen he was regarded as a staunch friend
and valued adviser, ono whose word was
as good as his bond. His death will
prove said loss TO San Francisco and tho
State.
