This crawling. cringiDg creature dares
to say In his paper that the people OF
the State require Attorney General Og-

What relations have either of these
honorable gentlemen with the State
Printer or with the DEMOCRAT that can cause
any honest man In this community to sus-
pect that they will not do their full duty In
this cause2 Between them and the State
Printer and his associates there exists no re-
latlons save those which grow out OF the
fact that they all belong to the same
party and happen to entertain those senti-
ments of mutual esteem and friendship
which exist between gentlemen who live in
the same community, and who are acquaint-
ed with each other. IF these officials cannot
prosecute In this case without suspicion OF
Partially, then the Attorney General and the
District Attorney should serve only where
they have bitter and vindictive enmities to
subserve instead OF truth and justice TO main
tain. What Mr.. Charles Clinton de-
sires Is not the truth. The henchman
and tool Of the Lottery Company
he desires to see honest and impartial officials
step aside, that their places may be supplied
by the hired legal luminaries of the Lottery
Company, who will prosecute, not for justice
sake but to crush men who have dared In New
Orleans to raise their voices against corrupt
and corruptng rings This much for the
suggestion Of the Times. Now, we will say
that, while we do not desire the Attorney Gen
eral or the District Attorney to withdraw
from the prosecution OF the case. we cordially
invite Mr.. Howard and the Times, and their
fellows. to introduce into the prosecution all
their most eminent legal henchmen whom
they may keep on large salaries ready to per-
form any function or business they may be
called upon TO perform.
In this case the State Printer will resort to
no subterfuges common in criminal trials;
whether the indictment be good or bad, his
attorneys will permit 1t TO stand. His object
Is to have full legal investigation OF these
charges.

THE TIMES, SUGGESTION.

Mr.. Charles CIintons paper the New Or
cans Times, yesterday, with its usual inso-
ence. presumed to eensure the spirit In
which the DEMOCRAT commented upon the
course which the grand iuries had pursued
toward the State Printer 1t also went out of
its way to attack, with its usual scurrility
and indecency, DR.. Hammond and his asso-
ciates on the legislative committee of inves-
LEGATION.
We naturally feel some repugance to enter
ing into controversy with a newspaper
whose proprietors have been shown to be
little better than thieves, and whom we have
denounced as such. But even the defamatory
language of an unconvicted feIon if not re-
sented. may leave its impression upon the
public mind, and the exposed thief who con-
ducts the Times acts upon that theory He
makes no defense of himself, but day after
day sets on his hirelings to defame and niure
gentlemen against whom he has good cause
for resentment 1t is notorious fact that
Charles Clinton, Kelloggs ex-Audtor, a bit
ter and vindicttve Radical, owns and runs
the Times. While this man, who now claims
to conduct the leading Conservative-God
save the mark paper In New Orleans, was
Auditor, committee of the Legislature. on
a charge made by our friend and associate,
Mr. George w. Dupre, State Printer
then a member of the House of
Representatives. after a thorough in
vestigation, and after having all the testi-
mony that could be obtained, pro and con,
declared that he and his relative, whose name
appears as tie editor of the Times, were guilty
OF swindling the Charity Hospital fund
out of six thousand dollars. We never heard
that Mr.. Clinton, or his associate in this most
dastardly and infamous transaction, ever
sought trial; we never heard that, when
charged with this crime, they solicited an in
vestigation! Nay, ADMINISTRATION was made
by the Legislature, without their solicitation.
and with such results that Mr. Clinton, so
long as he controls public journal, smarting
under the castigations legislative com
mittee bestowed upon him, will make
it his chief duty to asperse
the character of all gentlemen who NAV be
appointed to serve on such bodies. Coward
and rascal. exposed by legislative fnyesti-
cation, If not convicted by court and Jury,
whose verdict he never dared to seek. this
man would be happy If he could involve in

Farm Notes.
TDowney Outlook. I

Mr.. McGarvin informs us that
Don Jose Ramirez will finish SOW.
ing 1900 acres of wheat this week
on the Santa Gertrudes Rancho,
east of the Fulton Sulphur Wells.
He is sowing several varieties,
among which Is the Russian, for
which he paid 81 cents per pound.
DIR. Wolfe, of this place, finished
killing one hundred hogs last Sat-
urday, which he proposes to convert
into cured hams and bacon. Just
now the papers of this State are
urging the people to make an effort
to compete with the East, whence
SO much cured meat Is being ship
ped and sold in California and Ar
izona. 1t is to be hoped that the
people of this coast will wake up
in this important matter, and COM
pete for a trade that ought to be
more or less profitable.
One days experience last week
brought us in contact with two
men. The first spoke in glowing
terms, of this valley, and added,
that he came here few years ago
with his wife and baby and one
dollar and fifty cents in his pocket.
"Now," he said, ~ have a forty.
acre farm, plenty of stock, and
some surplus cash." The other was
full of gloom. He had come here
with four thousand dollars, and
now 1t is all gone. We drew our
own conclusion about the matter,
and shall leave the reader to do the
sane.
A gentleman remarked to us the
other day, rather pettishly we
thought, that "this is the poorest
country l have ever struck" AS
we didn't agree with him, we con.
cluded, like Midshipman Easy, to
argue the question. We asked him
1t this was not q pretty good cli-
mate, and wasn't the soil as richly
productive as any he had seen. He
said they were. But he added,
when one raises a crop he can't get
anything for it. BY comparison
OF figures, We showed him that
the prices were low every
where, which he didn't dispute.
Then he commenced generalizing
about shiftless farming, mortgages
and high rates of interest, and the
sure losses of parties who are bur.
dened with these things. But.
said we, it is not the fault of the
country; the people themselves are
to blame for these things. The de-
feet Is in the man and not in the
soil. The plain fact was, the per-
son 10 whom we were addressing
our remarks, was anxious to pur-
chase a home in this valley, but he
was short In his finances, and as q
matter OF course, in frame of
mind to find fault.

The Duke of Buckingham. in
the reign of James l., had so many
windows to his dwelling Chat it was
known in London as the Glass
House. Numerous Scotchmen
came to London with the King,
who were obnoxious to the Duke,
and he organized parties to break
their windows. Some Scotchmen,
in return, broke his windows, and
the King remarked to the Duke:
"Steenie, those who live in glass
