THE BUBBLE PRICKsD.

The first response to our demand for the
facts relative to the allegation that there
are citizens or combinations of citizens of
this city conspiring to injure the munich
pality, and control its elections in the in
lerests of bondholders, has been made:
CAS- to the matter of designating the persons who
own bonds here, do not deem that as material as
facts connected with the course pursued By those
supposed 10 be acting in the interest of the bond
holuers in trying to elect favorable to them in
the matter, so important to their pockets"
The italics are ours-the evasion is that
of the gentleman who has assumed to an
swer our interrogatories, but declines
to name the supposed " persons, with
proofs of their baseness. The whole
truth is that the bubble has been pricked.
No citizen has been, nor can be truth
fully, named who is aiding or abet-
ting any unholy schemes against the pros
perity, economy or rights OF this city.
If such exist, this journal stands
prepared to hold them up to public scorn
and loathing. But it will not be a
party to, nor, for decencys sake, can it be
silent under the mean practice that has
been INDUCED in this city for some years,
of branding citizens because somebody
hears that some one suspects that some.
body else supposes this or that mans act or
expression is instigated by an opponent to
Sacramento's best interests.

BUT WE MUST OBEY.

The San Francisco Call, quoting this
journal wherein we said that 1--WE go out
to Canton to have law interpreted that is
of our own enacting, and though that H.
depreciation is dismetricslly opposed to the
aim and purpose of the Act, the intent of
the legislators and the plain meaning of the
language, we are compelled to accept it.
adds The RECORD. UNION correctly de-
scribes the position the decisions of the
Courts ard Custom houses have placed US
in, but we do not admit that we are com.
pslled to submit. 1t is quite within our
Just powers to return Chinese immigrants

The Law admits students and merchants
and excludes laborers."
When the puzzled Indian from behind
the prison bars was stating his case to his
attorneys, they replied, "They cannot i'm
prison you; they cannot lock you up"
"But," responded the Indian, "here l
am" So, too, we say, the Canton official
does dictate to US. The word trader" is
neither in the treaty, nor the law, yet the
Canton official Gersifes that A. B. is
trader and as such "a entitled to admission,
and we admit him. We do so because the
training of American citizens commands
them to respect the edicts of the
Courts, and the acts OF their officials, and
to apply remedies for wrongs through law

first time that this people has been COM
PEELED to submit to injury pend.
ing the righting OF their wrongs.
In the meantime, all we can do
is to force ourselves so prominently
upon the attertion of Congress that our
voiced complaints shall not fall upon deaf
ears. And, by the way, We do not be-
lieve in leaving the task to our Senators
and Representatives alone. We are very
ap. to overestimate their influence at the
seat of government. They are but mere
handful of men against a multitude that
has interests pressing upon it for attention
which to its members rise far superior to
our claims. We are lees than a million of
people dependent for favors upon the fifty
million of our brethren at the East. In
short, California is insignificant at the
East, and Californians are beginning to
realize the fact. All who journey to the
Eastward and return are forcibly i'm
pressed with our diminutiveness in the
great Union of which we form so small a
part. Let us agitate the subject in hand
therefore by the voice of the people.
Few as we are, let us send up our personal
and our aggregate supplications for relief.
Let us appeal to the sense of right doing
and justice among our Eastern brethren.
Let US put aside threats and passions and
appeal to the good sense, the Judicial side
of our people beyond the mountains,

having enacted law as solemnly as any
other statute was ever made, the same is

MASSACHUSETTS comes to the front with the first
colored man to occupy the bench in the North-we
believe. His name is George L. Ruffn He was
born Of free parents in Richmond, Va. The mother
brought her eight children TO Massachusetts thirty
years ago to be educated. After receiving such
schooling his parents could Afford Rutiin went to
work a barber. He soon got position in a law
office, and began to read. He made such progress
that he secured admission to the Harvard Law
School, and graduated from it with honors IN
1860. He took Office in Boston, and built up
large practice a criminal lawyer, but was acknow

Governor Murray declares that some
slight Misunderstanding between Nor

kindle the fame of rebellion in Utah. If
affairs are as menacing as this-but which

the cause should arise speedily. If the Nor

REPLY TO MERCHANT"

EDS. RECORD UNION notice in your last
issue Of the WEEKLY UNION communication
sigred Merchant" wherein he makes de-
mand for equal taxation. Now 1 want to
say to NJ Merchant, "Give US your hand"
For that is just what we want: equal taxa
ton. That is why we as farmers were in
favor of calling the Constitutional Conyen-
ton; that is why we as farmers voted to
adopt the new Constitution. For we were
aware of the fact that we had as class been
paying more taxes in proportion to what we
were worth than sny other class of taxpayers
in the State. We were we'll aware at the
same TINA that the merchant was enabled,
under the old methods of assessing and col
Letting the taxes, to dodge large proportion
Of his Just share of taxation.
When Merchant" however. proposes to
tax growing crops. say, Hands eff; not
so fast, MIR. Merchant" We live under
Constitution that gives as full definition of the
word property, for the purposes of taxation,
as any State in the Union and by it grow
ing crops" are strictly exemptedfrom taxation.
And why should they be taxed? What is
thee to be taxed about growing crop? 1
refer to cereals. And, finally, what is
"growing CROP" Shall we say 50 worth of
farmers time, muscle and brain force,
together with 81 worth of seed? All Of these
elements are necessary to make IL possible to
have g growing crop.
But do all these combined make growing
crop? No, sir. Something else is wanted !;
rain and sunshine-gifts from God Himself,
With these it is possible to have growing
crops, but not without. Thur, with the
mercy of God showered upon US In sunshine,
rain, etc, we are enabled to have growing
crops. But by what authority do you claim
to have right to tax us for gifts over which
man has no control? You might, with equal
presumption, tax US for the very air we
breathe.
When you propose to tax growing crops,
why don't you have yourself taxed on the
amount of buginess you expect to do for the
on their anticipated incomes the Judge and
all officeholders on their salaries? If you
sre ia favor of equal taxation, why don't you
propose the fair thing?
And when you say that il was him ted DUR
ing the session of the Constitutional Conven-
ton that there was a bargain between the
grangers and railroads. to the effect that
growing crops and railroads should escape
taxation, am indeed astonished at your ig
torrance. At this late day, with all the facts
before the public, and cf which you ought to
be acquainted, it is well known that the
grangers are the most anti-monopoly, rail-
road make-them.p ay -their.tsxes class of peo-
pie in the State of California. In proof Of
which 1 have only to refer you to all of their
public uttersnces siBcs said Convention.
1 hope, Messrs. Editors, that you will be
able to find space in your valuable columns
for these few words, and confer favor on
one who has been constant reader Of your
paper for over twenty years. While 1 have
not always agreed with you, have always
considered the DAILY RECORD. UNION and
WEEKLY UNION the best newspapers in the
State. Respectfully yours.

PETER cooPER's FAvoR1rB Poems.

Writing Of Peter Cooper, in the Deem
Der Century, Mrs. Susan n. Carter says ::
His opinions were positive, and ne stated
them definitely aud his illustrations were
often simple and even homely. It would
be difficult to tell the occasions, SO numer-
GUS were they, which drew from him the
poems and little rhymes which were his
solace and delight. He told them to stran-
gers in their visits to the school, or often
he repeated to the pupils verses of which
he was specially fond Among those he
particularly liked were liues from Pope's
Essay on Man, which appealed strongly
to him by its common sense and the knowl-
edge it showed of human nature. believe
he knew the whole of the poem, but the
parts he often quoted were those that are
nearly as familiar as prOverbs.
Look round our world; behold the chain of love,
Combining all below ard all above
And there is hardly any one familiar with
Mr.. Cooper who has not heard more times
than once:
o happiness our beings end and aim
Good, pleasure, ease, content whate'er thy name
That something still which prompts tn eternal SIGH
For which We bear to live or dare to die.
Remember man, CT the universal cause
Acts not by uartial but by general laws
And makes what happiness We justly call
Su sist not in the good OF one, but all.
Health consists with temperance alone,
Add peace, o virtue, peace is all thine own.
Honor and shame from no condition rise;
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.
Know then this truth enough for man to know,
Virtue alone is happiness below
Our own bright prospect to be blcs.,
Our strongest motive to assist the rest.
OF all other parts of this poem the last
was the one, perhaps, about which h cared
most. and which most closely hsrmonizsd
with his own theory CT life:
God loves from whole to parts; but human soul
Must rise from individual to the weole.
self-l8ye but serves the virtuous mind to wake
AS the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake;
The center novel, circle straight succeeds,
Another STILL and still another spreads
Friend parent, peighbor, fTss it will embrace;
His country next, and next all human race;
Wide and more wide. tn Borrowings OF tie mind
Take every creature in II every kind;
Earth smiles around, with 6oundless bounty blest,
And heaven behOlds its image in his breast.
