For the general fund sufficient revenue
must be raised to meet the current ex-
pense and to provide for the additional
outlay necessarily to be caused By the new
Great Register and the coming general
election. From the collections of the
License Collector for the past year we can
confidently look for about $50, coo from
that source.
l estimate the amount of $50 900 will be
needed to meet the requirements of the
County Hospital. To provide that sum
you must make a sufficient levy, taking
into consideration, however, the aid given
persons, which this year was about So, 900.
The schools of Sacramento county will
require for their support S31, 340-as per
the report of the County Superintendent
filed with me in compliance with Section
1917 of the California school law. This is
slight increase over the demands of last
year. there being a gain in the school GEN.
sus which is shown to be 1885 for the
total number of census children. You are
required to levy tax sufficient to provide
81 for each census child.
Your honorable Board must also fix the
rate for road purposes in accordance with
contemplated Improvements. 1t would
seem that reduction might be made in
this rate, as many permanent repairs Werc
made to our roads and bridges during the
past year, which will require no material
outlay for some time.
1t will be found by comparison with
those of the last fiscal year that the assess
ment rolls of this year show decrease of
81 ,0S4 7S1. Notwithstanding this reduction
you will be able to lower your tax rate
from that of the previous year.
In submitting the above report, wish to
congratulate the citizens of Sacramento
county on the healthy condition of its
finances, there being adequate funds in
the county's strong box to meet all i'm
mediate demands. Very respectfully,
T. T. JOHNSON,
Auditor Sacramento County.

MARxHAM's KEY.
How He Unlocked the Door for the
Widow.


The recent nomination for Governor OF
California of the Hon. II. H. Markham
has given considerable satisfaction to q
number of his old associates and friends
here, who seem to still retain lively
friendship for the staiwart and handsome
Congressman from the Golden State. Per-
sonally l wish him every success in his
canvass, if only on account of an incident
of his sojourn among US as an N. c., re-
lated to me the other day BY the editor of
local weekly, bur which 1 am sure has
never been heretofore published. OF
course it is nothing new for a Californian
to do a generous act, but there are very
different ways of being generous, and the
following little episode reveals the true
inwardness" of the man better than vol
ume of political speeches could;
II appears that Mr.. Markham stopped at
the Arlington, on Vermont avenue, and it
was his custom. rain or shine, to walk
ing, constitutional of say a mile and a
half. He always took the same route,
which was along the most unfrequented
streets-a habit, by the way, also peculiar
to Mr.. Blaine
One bitter winter morning my friend, the
editor, was Flooding through heavy fail
of snow along one of the streets in the
poorer quarters of the town when be OBJ
served the tall form of the California men,
Der short distance ahead The street was
almost deserted and the feathery snow pre-
vented the footsteps Of either from being
heard. As the editor reached q corner
round which Mr.. Markham had turned, he
saw that the latter had paused and was
gazing trapsfxed by scene on the other
side of the way. A woman of about 80,

who strove in vain to comfort her. Three
other small children, with wet eyes and
woe-begone faces, stared wistfully at the

The California delegate strobe rapidly
across the street, and without speaking
word to the woman began fumbling around
the lock of the door.

eldest child, a boy of ten, whose little
breast sgelled with manly Indignation !;
''the man locked us out and went away"
The member seized the boys hand and
drew him along. the astonished child run
ming to keep up with the big mans long
strides. At the corner he was released, and
trotting back again, said
'Mamms, that big gentleman says the
door isn't locked at all-he saw the key in
the keyhole" And then, as he ran up the
steps, he called out: why it isn't the key

into a sectional antagonism of very dan
gerous character. Mr.. Vaux went, it is
said. to such leaders as Mr.. Breckenridge
and plainly told them that they wholly
misunderstood the temper of the people !;
that continuation of the no-quorum policy
was ''infernal folly" and would lose the
party nearly every Congressional district
in the Northern States, and that the busi-
ness interests of the country were manifest
ing an irritability in the matter that be-
tokened serious i'll for Democracy. This
plain talk from the venerable Congressman
is said to have brought the leaders to their
senses, and obstruction ceased from that
moment All which, if true, emphasizes

that the Democratic party is forever look

the party's good, to resistance of the Gov

was fully aware that the only way to bring
the Democratic obstructionist party to
terms was to brighten it with the threat of
loss of power. He brought that influence
to bear, and, as usual, it succeeded. All
which is the equivalent of saying that the
Democratic party is not, and never has

THE RECEPTION OF THE pRErENDER.

The dispatches announce that fears are
entertained that the French people will
take ofense at the reception accorded the
Count de Paris at New York, since the
Collector of the Port welcomed the pre-
tender to the throne in the name of the
President of the United States If the
Collector had received the refugee in the
name of the President as claimant to the
throne and the enemy of the French re-
public, there certainly would be reason for
the anger of the French people. In such
a case the act of our Chief Magistrate
would be direct affront that not even an
apology could wipe oct. But the Presi-
dent did nothing of the kind. He, in COM
mon with other officers of the army of the
United States, welcomed a soldier who
served upon the staff of General Mcclellan
during the war of the Rebellion, and who
thereafter wrote a very interesting and fair
history of the Army of the Potomac and
Its campaign The people of France must
not be permitted to construe the reception
of this man as an act of unfriendliness to
the French republic, and the press should
make it clear that he was not received on
the title of his claim as King of France
We are of the opinion that it was not
necessary for the President to have sent
out the Collector of the Port of New York
to receive the visitor. Other men of
special prominence in Europe are arriving
in the United States nearly every day,
and it is not deemed necessary to extend
to them special welcome. Moreover the
Count de Paris came fresh from the writ
ing of declaration that he intended to
labor for the overthrow of the republic in
France, and that he should use any means
that came within his reach to accomplish
that end In the same letter he wrote
that he had consented to affiliate with the
traitor Boulanger, deeming it defensible to
use such weapons as the god; gave. He
left France political exile and as the
enemy of her existing form of government,
and this should, we think, have made his
reception in the United States wholly
unofficial one.
As it is, we ought to feel no surprise if
the French people become angered at the
welcome given the man who left their
shores with the avowed purpose of return
ing in three months time to inaugurate
another revolution, peaceably if possible,
but forcibly if necessary. However, as
stated, the President did not welcome him
other than as q soldier who served the
United States in the time of need. When
this is explained the possible irritation Of
the French will be allayed But as a rule
it may be laid down that the United
States Government should not officially
acknowledge the arrival in this country Of
political refugees who are plotting against
a sister republic with which We are at
peace.

DEFYING THE LAW.

The postal authorities having instructed
the postmasters in this Safe to refuse
mail privileges to newspapers, magazines
and circulars in any way advertising lot
ferries or gift enterprises. The orders,
which conform to the new law on the sub
iect, are now being enforced. Some OF the
newspapers which have heretofore def
antly violated the State law concerning
lotteries announce that they will continue
TO ignore the statute, and will use other
avenues of carriage for their papers than
the United States mall That is to say,
journals that preach propriety and law
abiding, and commend virtue and obedi-
ence to authority, boldly proclaim that
they will disobey certain plain provisions
OF the law of the State, and contemptuously
disregard the statute that inhibits the
publication of lottery advertisements and
aiding and abetting lotteries. We call the
attention of these inconsistent publishers
of defiant newspapers, and the attention
of the officers of the law to these provisions
OF the statutes of California:
Every person who contrives sets up. proposes
or draws any lottery, is gui ty OF misde-
Fvesy person who aids or assists, either by
priutifg writing. advertising, publishing, or
.otheraise in setting up managing, or drawing

These sections Of the law are as plain as
a nike staff. No officer can be in doub;
concerning their meaning. No newspaper
proprietor who reads them can violate
them. and with any sort of self-respeet adj
wise citizens to obey other sections of the
State laws, or urge officials to prosecute
other offenders against the laws of the
commonwealth.

A SILLY and sensational sheet in San
Francisco finds fault with the Southern
Pacific Company because a train was held
at Willows recently, to accommodate the
attendants and speakers at Republican
mass meeting in progress at that place.
This complaining is the veriest nonsense.
Such acts of kindness are frequent, and
are not confined to any one class of people,
or those of any particular parry. Had
the meeting referred to been Democratic,
and the request have been made to hold
the train short time to accommodate at
PENDANTS at the meeting, and it could be
done without loss to the travelling public,
unquestionably the railroad officials would
have extended the same courtesy to
the Democracy that they did to the
Republicans Trains are held at this
point sometimes to enable theatrical
companies to pack up and take their
departure at the close of perform
ance; trains have been held to accommo-
date the public frequently during the pro-
gress of the State Fair, and on many other
occasions, where no public inconvenience
can result, these courtesies are extended to
large gatherings. The pith Of the COM
plant of the Democratic organ referred
to is found in the statement that the Re-
publican candidate for Governor was one
of the speakers at the Willows meeting.
The same paper, however, has failed to
criticise the principal coast steamship line
for recently holding of its boats at way
port over two hours, in order to enable the
Democratic candidate for Governor to ad-
dress mass meeting. 1t makes great
difference whose OK is gored. However,
both the railroad company and the steam
ship company acted rightly and courte-
ously, and there is not one particle of po-
litical campaign capital to be squeezed out
of either case-of which fact the Examiner
should take note.
