to the statements made in the petition. No
objections were made or filed against said pc
tition. The Board having duly considered
the matter and being satisfied that no land
! was Improperly Included in or excepted from
| the limits Of said proposed district Super
visor Wilson moved that the prayer OF the
! petitioner be granted and the petition APP
proved, which was adopted on call OF the
roll, by the following vote-Wilson, Blair,
Butler, Chri5ty, Bailey and Beckiey.
The report Of /. Z. Brown, OveIseer OF

/ THE REPORTERS CLAIM.
The bill Of $3.50 presented against the
| county by Messrs Gutter and Davis came up
for consideration. 1t was q claim for work
! done by them as stenographers during the ar
gunent OF the Gold Run case. When the
! bill was placed before the Board the day be-
( fore it was fully explained by the claimants,
and had the Endorsement OF Attorney'Gen-
| eral Hart. They stated that the defendants
! in the case had already paid their proportion
| for the work done. The claim was duly regis
/ tered, and Mr.. Cadwalader, one of the at
| torneys in the slickens case, appeared before
4 the Board yesterday morning and stated that
the claim was not a proper one, and should
not be paid that he had been asked to GER
/ tify to its correctness, hut that he considered
| it dishonest demand; that they had been
| fully paid for all the work they had done in
the case. He furthermore stated that Mr..
| Davis had said to him that he himself did not
consider it a proper demand against the coun-
! ty, and he only presented il because Mr.. Cut
ter insisted upon it.
Just after Mr.. Cadwalader had made these
statements, Messrs. Cuttr and Davis en-.
tered the room. A vote was taken. and all
the Board present voted to Tt ject the demand.
At tie afternoon session Gutter and Davis
again appeared before the Board with their
counsel, Grove l.. johnson. Mr.. johnson
asked that the vote by which the demand
was T. jscted be reconsidered so that his eli.
ents could be heard in the matter and give
their reasons for presenting bill against the
county for $3.50. He stated that the stenog.
raphers reported the speeches made during
the argument at the request of Judge Temple
and George Cadwallder. That Cadwalader
understood that they were to be paid for the
same. That he did receive the copy OF
his own speech from their hands, and had the
same printed, and then put in claim against
the county for S173, for the printing of his
argument; and this Board did allow, and did
pay for the same. That he directed the
stenographers to send Judge Rhodes speech to
NH Ills HoLl4ct UULupL LoSc WtLulL,
for Sacramento county would foot the bill.
Furthermore, it is understood and the claim
ants here are willing to be sworn, and will
testify that CadwslAder withholds his indorse-
ment of that demand simply because in
former action regarding his fees Win. j.
Davis would not intersede for Cadwalader
with w. L. Gerber. the Auditor of Sacramento
county. THE gentlemen l represent were
not here this morning when the accusations
against them W ere mad5 by Cadwaladar, or they
say they would have been fatty contradicted.
Mr.. Davis says, and he is willing to so state
under oath, that be never told Mr.. Csdwala-
der, in his Office or elsewhere, that he con-
sidered the Sill he was about to present an
improper or unjust one. All they ask OF
you, gentlemen, is that this matter be recon-
sidered, and that they be allowed to come
before you to-day, or at any time, and prove
tie justice of their claim and disproye what
mas been said regarding it.
The matter was talked of in conversa-
tionsl way among the members of the Board,
Mr.. johnson and his clients. The Board were
unanimous in the opinion that MIR. Cadwala-
der, being the attorney In the case, and he
having decided that it was an improper claim
against the county, they would not recon-
slider the action. Mr.. johnson then stated
that his clients would have to bring an action
in the Superior Court.
Mr.. Christy said he thought that Attorney
General Hart was the attorney for the Peo-
pie. One of the reporters remarked, $50 he
was he was the brains and did the work,
and Cadwalader gets the pay for it."
Mr.. Cutter said this is not the first time
that Cadwalader has acted in bad faith with
the reporters. He always does so whenever
an opportunity offers. when / FIRST spoke
to him about this demand he said he would
sign it providing l could induce the Suffer
county authorities to prosecute another suit.
Tfey raised him the money, he took it, and
am receiving my thanks for it now. We did
the work and are justly entitled to our pay.
Mr. Davis repeated what Mr.. johnson had
stated regarding the conversation had with
Cafwalader and the feeling that had been ex-
istiag between Cadwslader and himself, and
said he would take an oath as to its truthful
ness.
The Board refusing to reconsider their
action, the reporters and their attorney, after
taking a certified copy of their demand, with
drew.
ANOTHER DEMAND REJECTED.
When the demand of George Csdwalader,
for So 600, the third payment on his contract,
came up for passage there was o little breeze.
Mr.. Butler arose and asked the Board If Mr..
Cadwalader had complied with his contract?
Has he brought the suits directed by this
Board, which the contract stipulated should
be brought: Was it not fact well known
by every member of the Board that the co.,
tract had not been kept by Mr.. Cadwalader?
If this be true, why then l shall not lend my
vote to pay Mr. CAdwalsder any more
money. If this be true. why he has been
fully paid for all services rendered.
Mr.. Blair heartily Endorsed the remarks Of
Supervisor Butler, and agreed with him that
the attorney hal been amply rewarded for
his services, and that the contract being now
broken, it was to all intents and purposes
null and void.
Supervisor Bailey thought the gentlemen
were mistaken. Mr.. Cadwalader, he did not
think, had had time to bring the suits that
they would be along some time in the near
future. He was sure that there was no intent
on the part of the attorney TO violate his
contract.
Messrs. Buckley and Wilson agreed with
Mr.. Bailey, and stated that parties were now
and had been at work for some time prspar-
ing for the litigation referred to; that the
contract had not been violated and that a
the proper time the cases would be brought
into Court
Mr.. Christy became somewhat ex.
cited, and made a hydraulic miners
speech. He said 81 suppose some
Of you Supervisors of this Board will be sat-
is6ed when you succeed in destroying the
happy homes Of the miners and driving them
from our land. The miners are the bone and
sinew Of the land. They are being oppressed
by this Board to the detriment of our own
people l am opposed, and always have
been, TO paying one cent in this matter"
When the roll wac called the vote stood:
Accessibility, Wilson and Backley. Noes
Butler Blair and Christy. 1t being tie
vote. the demand was rejected.
After allowing the following demands the
