LETTER FROM COLUsA.
The Statement of Previous Core
spondent Vigorously Replied to.

EDS. RECORD UNION: l was completely
astonished that you should have admitted
into your columns communication con-
tanning so many mSstatements as the one
dated at Princeton, and contained in your
issue of the S0th Ult. If you had stopped
to think, you would have known that
Colusa, so far from being the highest taxed
county in the State, is the second lowest.
Reason would have given you TO know that
the statement that there were not over
twenty farms in the county not mortgaged
was without the slightest foundation. But
| seek your columns for the purpose of
noticing the statement that wages were low
in the county because Hon. John Boggs, q
Prison Director, had imported large num-
Der of eX-convictS, who, with Indians, were
dong his harvesting because he could get
them cheap! You certainly did not read
that paper before putting it in type. You
know Mr.. Boggs better than that. | was
up at his place on Tuesday of last week,
talking to him about his harvest. the price
OF harvesting with different machinery.
etc, and he told me that he had not fallen
into the idea of cutting down wages, but
having good, reliable class of men, he was
| paying the wages of last year. He has not a
! cohClct, nor an Indian, nor a Chiudmdn IL,
has harre>t fe{d. He is more considerate
with his men, and has better class of
workingmen than any large farmer in the
State. Some of them have been with him
| for ten or twelve years and have money
loaned out. Mr.. Boggs takes nearly every
daily paper in the State, and twenty or
thirty weekly papers, besides the current
periodicals. He does this, not SO much for
his own reading, as for his men. He gives
them this reading matter to make them
| satisfied to stay at nome instead of running
off to the saloons, and he tries to get a class
OF men who will appreciate this He does
| not allow intoxicating liquor of any kind
brought on his place, and he tries to get a
class of men who do not wish to do it, and
hence lie pays always the highest wages
going. Is it not astonishing, in view OF
| these facts, of which | am personally cog
infant, that such q statement as the one
| made b. your correspondent should be
| penned almost ON his premises? No man
in this State has higher appreciation OF
the dignity of labor than John Boggs, and
no man does more TO maintain it,

THE sPRECKELs VERDICT.

The San Francisco Chronicle expresses
surprise at the verdict Of the Spreckels
case. The ditG alleges that the verdict
was agreeable to general expectation, so far
at least as it was not one of conviction.
But between the lines it is apparent that
to the CAroni,ie the verdict was not wholly
unexpected. This latter Journal charges
that there was communication with the
jurors after their retiring and that the
jury was not properly guarded from APP
proach, nor prevented from communicating
with outsiders. There does not appear,
however, from its own recital TO be suffi-
cent ground for even entertaining a sUs-
picion that the jury was tempered with in
its room, and that matter may be dismissed
from consideration. The defense of Sprecli-
els for shooting the Chronicle proprietor
was scH-defense, and such an abnormal
condition of mind as to induce temporary
insanity when affected by personal charges
against his family. Upon the one or the
other OF these issues the jury must have
passed. We believe that the jury chose
the insanity defense as the basis for the
verdict, though it did not so express itself,
thereby iustifying the inference that it ac-
quilted the defendant on the ground of
self-defensc. While it is required that the
reason shall be stated for the verdict, if it
be for insanity, yet there is no power by
which to reach the conscience of the juror
if he declines to set forth the reason that
sways his Judgment The public
Judgment is, and will remain, that
the verdict was rebuIle to personal jour
nalism. That is to say, the jury, by its
verdict, has declared that the vicious
methods and practices of personal Journal
ism, acting upon such mind as that of
Sprecl,els, produced result which iuster
and creditable journalistic treatment of
the subject involved would not have
brought about, and that therefore the
attempt to reach the personality behind
the Journalism WAS an ACT OF INSANITY que
directly to the vicious system itself In
short, we repeat it is ayerdict that, without
fatty justifying an attempt to kill, in effect
declares the act Of the defendant to have
been precisely what the Journal should
have expected that resorted to thcmethods
of debate and journalistic treatment in
which it INDUCES. 1t is certainly an ugly
commentary on society that the causes for
such assaults as Sprcckels made are per-
mitted, Just a. it IS a rcproaeh that the pis-
tol instead of the law should be made the
instrument of righting wrongs in any
view, the law has been wounded and JUS
tee as5ailed. Violence has walked where
peace and law alone should tread But it
remains that men acting as jurors have
over and again, as they will in the future.
treated with less rigor those vino resort
to personal violence induced By published
violence, and viii continue to find that
minds likely to be inAamed to a species of
insanity by such journalism shall shield the
person from the results Of retaliatory
violence

THE HOLIDAY,

The country is about to take i holiday
That it IS to he observed in commemora-
ton Of great historic event enthroned in
the American heart, gives to it the dignity
and loftiness of the greatest of political
holidays. But aside from the fact that it
is distinguished by set celebration and
special observances, It's character as holi-
day that gives rest, or change from usual
vacations, is important. The American
people live hard; their living is hard work;
it admits of small respite; it is 4 constant
strain, and hence such As the national
natal holiday swings into line with the
other change days or restful periods that
afford us rest because they take us ont of
the everyday groove. We should take in
the fall moment, Of every moment Of such
occasions, and make them contribute to the
revival Of the disposition to play, which
Timothy Titcomb feared was dying out of
American life. And this suggests the APP
propriateness Of remarking at this time
that Sacramento will tomorrow fill in
about every hour Of the day and evening
with rational entertainments, which, it
would appear, should prove specially at
tractive to the people of neighboring coun-
ties. Beginning with early morning with
the oid-time celebration, and appropriately
and periodically filling the forenoon, an
energetic association has provided full
and varied afternoon Of entertainment as
supplement. Na stopping here, the
evening is to witness second procession
and an illumination, when merriment and
relaxation will rule the hour. Certainly
Sacramento vii! enthusiastically fiji in,
and round up the chief American holiday.
OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, taking 4
sensible and business view of the question.
declared in his recent letter on the subject,
that the product Of an authors industry
is an addition to the wealth of the country,
and should be protected wherever the pub
lished form Of it is sold, so As to secure him
fair reward tor his property,
