State Taxes, "The-statutes-of 1869-70 have, besides the General law levying 85 cents ‘on each $100 of property, a namber of special laws levying taxes. The following is a list of the taxes levied by the Legislature during the session of 1869-70: Page 318—To pay interest on bonds issued for bounty of Volunteers., On each $100, 2 cents. . Page 319—For redemption of bonds issued in Sept. 1857. On each $100 15 cents. Page 743—General Levy. each $100, 85 cents. Page 725—For interest on State Capital Bonds. On each $100, 1% cents. Page 790—State Normal School Fung, On each $100, 2 cents. Page 848—For the State School Fund. On each $100, 10 cents. These statutes are all in full force and effect, ‘and the aggregate amount of taxes as levied by the last Legislature may be found by adding the amounts together, giving a total of On ™S1 1534 according to law. For some reason, however, in making the levy, the officers_count the 85 cents, and add the 1% -eapital tax, which is provided for by separate law, should be added more than any-other. ‘The levy as made by the officers, shows an increase in the rate for the General Fund of from 221% cents on each $100, to 284%, and this is the fund from which the expenses of the State government is to be paid. The Fund for paying interest on the bonds of 1857 is cut down one half. In this view of the case, there is no evidence from the rates of taxation. vf economy in the State administration, especially-where the great increase of taxable property is concerned. Tue Kvaminer offers $1,000 reward, says the Marysville Appeal, for the apprehension of the two men who at_ tempted to blackmail Mrs. Pleasants, _ beprésenting themselves as connected with: that. paper.

The Republican party has the following to show as the result of the Management of national finances: ‘Ist. That in the first two years and one month of the administration of President Grant there has been an tne amount of $215,765,663 74. 2d. That the annual interest charge to the people has, within the same peried,been reduced in the sum of _ . $12,062,997 96-consequently, afford. img permanent annual relief from taxation to that amount, 3d.

Grant, the public credit, as referred to the now existing values and debt, (April Ist, 1871,) has been further advanced, within a little more than two years, making an appreciation during this short period, as applica-ble te-the-new existing debi; of six hundred and fifteen millions of dollars; also showing that the appreciation since the close of the last Democratic administration early in 1861, applicable to the existing values and debt, is eight hundred and sixty-five mittions of dollars. 5th. Within the period from March 4th, 1869, to April Ist, 1871 the appreciation of the National and National bank currency was twelve (12) per-cent., making an aggregate appreciation of $85,000,000 which was accrued to the people in consequence of the advancement of the public credit by the Repnblican policy. 6th. Reduction of annnal-expenditures for the fiscal year 1869-70. as . compared with the last year of Buchanan’s administration, upon the same basis, 36 cents less, per capita, estimating the population $40,000,000 making an annual saving of $14,400,000 7th. The internal taxes and custom duties have, since the close of the war for the procession of the rebellion, been reduced by the amount per annum of $251,848,827 33 8th. The tal service has been extended and increased in efficiency and its comparative expenditures materially reduced. a Chinese Legislation. At the last session of the Legislature a law was passed tutending to stop Chinese immigration. The Act will be found on page—, Statutes 1869-70, and is entitled ‘“An Act to Prevent the Importation of Chinese Criminals and to Prevent the Establishment of Coolie Slavery.” This Act was recommended by Gov. Haight. The preamble to the lew explains its intention, and reads as follows: ‘Whereas, by the importation of such persons (Chinese) a species of slav-ery _is established and maintained which is degrading to the laborer and at war with the spirit of the age; now, therefore, in the exercise of the police powers of this State,”’ etc. Here follow the several sections which would have in a great measure stopped Chinese immigration. This law was designed to protect our white workingmen from the servile competition of the Chinese. 1t would have ~abolished the system of coolieism, which is justly charac erized by tke law itself ‘‘as degri.ding to the laborer and at War with the spirit of the age’’.—-Sccr imento Denwcrat. The Democrats say this law would ina gréat measure stop Chinese immigration. The Jaw is now on the Statute books, and the Democrats have control of the State Government. Has this immigration been decreased by these enactments? Not in the least. The immigration has been uninterrupted and not a single a-rest has been made, neither has there been any attempt made to prevent the importation of Chinese females. These two ineffective laws, which even Democratic officers do not attempt to enforce, constitute the sum total of all the Democratic legislation against the the Chinese question. > Tue Napa Register, one of the best weekly newspapers in California, has appeared in an entire new dress, and commenced its ninth volume with its last issue.

The bonded debt of 1867 was reduced $634,000; . the bonded debt of 1860, $18,500: Soldiers’ Relief Bonds, $83,000; Soldiers’ Bounty Bonds, $323,000. All these reductions were effected by the operations of laws enacted prior to the advent cf Haight as Governor of the State, and the Democrats are entitled to no more credit for them than Wells, Fargo & Co. would be for collecting a debt in one place and carrying it safely to whom it is due. Governor Haight and his coadjutors in the State Government received so much money from the people and paid it over to the holders of the compulsory enactment which they could not violate with impunity. There is no merit in so doing. It would have beenabreach of trust not to have done it. The merit the Democrats boast of in this transaction is in the negative merit of not having stolen the money in its transit from one party to another. A glance at the figures above will reveal the fact that where the Demoerats were working outside of compulsory laws, enacted prior to their coming.to power, there was an increase rather than a diminution of the debt, so that if we choose to make a point on the present administration, better based than the claim it makes of reducing the debt of the State, we might insist that the figures show that the only safeguard of the commonwealth was in the compulsory laws left the Democrats by their predecessors. The time has not yet arrived for the Controller to make his second report, but we have no doubt it will show further reductions in about the same proportion for the last two years of his office as the two first. But whether it shows less or more, the claim of the Administration to superior financial management, on that score, is utterly invalid. The very best that can be said of the affair is, the State officers were bound by laws they did not make to be honest in receiving and paying out money. They were also uuder penal bonds to be so, and there is, so far as our investigations go, no evidence that. they have done any more than they were obliged to do by laws they or their friends did not enact, and which they were powerless to repeal.

And Wuereas, The Democratic party the State, Lewis was a State Senator, and Brown County Clerk of Sacra. mento county. Acting in their official capacity, they opposed the ratification of the Flfteenth Constitutional Amendment and the enfranchisement . of the colored citizens in this State, . in a manner which is well to note at . this time. .

I trust it will be forimally rejected by your honorable bodies. . E. T. Lewis, the present candi. date for Lieutenant Governor, made . the following revolutionary speech . in the Senate: Sir, the adoption. of the Fifteenth Amendment will only demonstrate . the lie of monarchs that power is . right. Yes, sir, there will linger in. the bosom of every lover of right and . justice that spirit of resentment ever . yearning, ever longing for the hour . to come when he can strike down the . monster that is destroying the liberties and seeking to undermine a government ef freemen. Sir, with gov. ernments as well as with individuals, there is a degree of oppression beyond . which forbearance ceases to be a virtue;and while I would not allow my passions to get the better of my judgment and counsel disobedience to the legally constituted authority, yet, sir, rather than see a centralized despotism reared upon the ruins. of this Republic, I would appeal to the valor of a betrayed people, and invoke the God of battles to defend the right. ground before a superior force, no one could at the time have imagined that these three warriors against the Fifteenth Amendment would in the lapse of-a few months so soon forget their former position as to’ actually go over to the enemy and pitch their tents in the Republicancamp. Such is the fact, nevertheless. No sooner had the late Democratic Convention assembled at Sacramento, and for the sake ef catching the colored vote, declared that “the Democracy accepts the natural and legitimate results of the war including the three several amendments as a settlement, in fact, of all the issues of the war,’’ than Haight, Lewis and Brown, all three at one time jumped on the platform, and for the sake vf the nomination from bitter opponents became le facto supporters of the Fifteenth ‘Amendment. Such abandonment of the former political position, and acceptance of a contrary one is properly termed a departure, because it very much reseimbled the removal of a person from one place to another. It seems however, that such a word does not suit well the Demecracy in general and much less Haight, Lewis and Brown in particular. For they do not wish to make it appear that they have changed their former position, or that they are really in favor of the Fifteenth Amendment. Their profession of acceptance was on'y intended as a sham to delude negro voters, and now sure enough they don’t want to be rebuked for inconsistency by Republicans, ner do they wish to show to their Southern brethren at the South who are killing negroes to diminiso the number of voters, that here at the North they have aece pted the Fifteenth Amendment. Tur Memphis Appeal is still very unhappy about the new departure. It says: “‘When the Democratic party becomes so bankrupt for the want of votes as to repudiate its principles, and, like a faded coquette, set its cap, puts on its sweetest smiles, and use every art and blandishment, accepts accomplished villainies as accomfasts, in_order to woo and win formerly rejected and despised usurpers and despots—it “will share the fate which its tru.weace desecves.”’ Tue Napa Reporter says>“It is enough to disgust intelligent people of every class to read the trash in most of the Republican papers in the State.” That is true; yet we are compelled to quote this trash from Democratic journals as an important witness in.the.case now.pending of i > . his election promised to administer Having given np the. contested . . by its late record has demonstrated that it possesses neither patriotism nor honesty in principles: that it contains in its ranks domineering elements which are ranked in hostile array against, the liberty and safety of the citizen; that in nominating H. H. Haight for Governor it has furnished renewed proofs of the fact that. its. promises of economy, its principles and its New Departure, are devoid of honesty inasmuch= as H. H. Haight, who had previous to the affairs of the State honestly and with economy, has in contradiction to his promises approved by his signature alarge number of the most gigantic swindling bills, which had been passed by the most corrupt Legislature that our State was ever cursed with; while on the other hand he had not the courage to sign the bill repealing-a part of the intolerant Sunday Law, and for the sake of offices gives promises that he does not mean to fulfill; therefore be it Ktesolved, That the German adopted citizens of California at large, and of San Francisco in particular, consider the Republican party the party of the people and of progress, in and through which alone the freedom loving and right thinking adopted American citizen of foreign birth may hope to see his ideas and principles carried out. Resolved, That we adopt heartily the Republican State platform, and consider ita blessing te tae people. Resolved, That we hail with joy the Republican nominations; that we recognize in Newton Booth, the Republican candidate for Governor, an honest man, a friend of the people, and a patriotic statesman whom we may confidently entrust with the guidance of the ‘ship of State,’’ and a. B. F. Bates. Sec’y., J. H. Burnham, that we will employ all honest means to carry through the election of our candidates. Resolved, That we are convinced that the Democratic party has departed from its former sound and popular principles and has gune over to the enemies of humanity and progress; that all secessionists and enemies to social order are to be found in its ranks, and that it therefore does not deserve the confidence of the people. ~ Resotced, That we denounce asa falsehood the resolution passed latelyin one of the Democratic meet ings, that the present Republican administration had sold arius and ammunition to the enemy of our Fatherlaud. That on the contrary, all the hostile feelings and manifestations proceeded from the Democratic camp. Resolved, That although we sympathize with the struggle of our brothers in the Fatherland for liberty and independence, we are nevertheless attached with fervent affection and glowing patriotism to this, our adopted county, and are ready to sacrifice life property for its welfare and glorification. Resolved, That it is our firm determination to make every etfort in the Republican party toward removing detects that may exist, and to keep that party itself constantly ona level with the spirit of the times. _ Resolved, Tnat we call upon and invite all German adopted citizens of California to .co-operate and vote with usin the coming election, for the Republican ticket ‘ Wooven Sprctmens.—In the Alta ion, petrified wood is found abounding in sulphurets.

Wood not petrified but impregnated ‘with deep dark colored dye is also found in the extensive gravel bed of the channel running through Alta Hill, nestling in the crevices of which. are to be seen brilliant specimens of iron, copper, and other sulphurets, which analysis has shown to yield more or less gold.

The preamble to the lew explains its intention, and reads as follows: ‘Whereas, by the importation of such persons (Chinese) a species of slav-ery _is established and maintained which is degrading to the laborer and at war with the spirit of the age; now, therefore, in the exercise of the police powers of this State,”’ etc. Here follow the several sections which would have in a great measure stopped Chinese immigration. This law was designed to protect our white workingmen from the servile competition of the Chinese. 1t would have ~abolished the system of coolieism, which is justly charac erized by tke law itself ‘‘as degri.ding to the laborer and at War with the spirit of the age’’.—-Sccr imento Denwcrat. The Democrats say this law would ina gréat measure stop Chinese immigration. The Jaw is now on the Statute books, and the Democrats have control of the State Government. Has this immigration been decreased by these enactments? Not in the least. The immigration has been uninterrupted and not a single a-rest has been made, neither has there been any attempt made to prevent the importation of Chinese females. These two ineffective laws, which even Democratic officers do not attempt to enforce, constitute the sum total of all the Democratic legislation against the the Chinese question. > Tue Napa Register, one of the best weekly newspapers in California, has appeared in an entire new dress, and commenced its ninth volume with its last issue.

The bonded debt of 1867 was reduced $634,000; . the bonded debt of 1860, $18,500: Soldiers’ Relief Bonds, $83,000; Soldiers’ Bounty Bonds, $323,000. All these reductions were effected by the operations of laws enacted prior to the advent cf Haight as Governor of the State, and the Democrats are entitled to no more credit for them than Wells, Fargo & Co. would be for collecting a debt in one place and carrying it safely to whom it is due. Governor Haight and his coadjutors in the State Government received so much money from the people and paid it over to the holders of the compulsory enactment which they could not violate with impunity. There is no merit in so doing. It would have beenabreach of trust not to have done it. The merit the Democrats boast of in this transaction is in the negative merit of not having stolen the money in its transit from one party to another. A glance at the figures above will reveal the fact that where the Demoerats were working outside of compulsory laws, enacted prior to their coming.to power, there was an increase rather than a diminution of the debt, so that if we choose to make a point on the present administration, better based than the claim it makes of reducing the debt of the State, we might insist that the figures show that the only safeguard of the commonwealth was in the compulsory laws left the Democrats by their predecessors. The time has not yet arrived for the Controller to make his second report, but we have no doubt it will show further reductions in about the same proportion for the last two years of his office as the two first. But whether it shows less or more, the claim of the Administration to superior financial management, on that score, is utterly invalid. The very best that can be said of the affair is, the State officers were bound by laws they did not make to be honest in receiving and paying out money. They were also uuder penal bonds to be so, and there is, so far as our investigations go, no evidence that. they have done any more than they were obliged to do by laws they or their friends did not enact, and which they were powerless to repeal.

Each one of them was: at that time holding a public office.

And Wuereas, The Democratic party the State, Lewis was a State Senator, and Brown County Clerk of Sacra. mento county. Acting in their official capacity, they opposed the ratification of the Flfteenth Constitutional Amendment and the enfranchisement . of the colored citizens in this State, . in a manner which is well to note at . this time. . State, says the Oakland News, took . . the rebel ground that the amend. ment, though ratified by the majority . of States, had no legal force to bind . uny State, and in his message to the t Legislature advised a formal rejection of it in the following words: . ‘In view, then, of the want of legal . . power to bind any State to this so. . called amendment, and of the pernic. . ious principle which it embodies, as . well as in view of the scandalous . manner in which the people of the . several States have been sought to be . defrauded, bribed and coerced into . its adoption. I trust it will be forimally rejected by your honorable bodies. . E. T. Lewis, the present candi. date for Lieutenant Governor, made . the following revolutionary speech . in the Senate: Sir, the adoption. of the Fifteenth

Sir, with gov. ernments as well as with individuals, there is a degree of oppression beyond . which forbearance ceases to be a virtue;and while I would not allow my passions to get the better of my judgment and counsel disobedience to the legally constituted authority, yet, sir, rather than see a centralized despotism reared upon the ruins. of this Republic, I would appeal to the valor of a betrayed people, and invoke the God of battles to defend the right. ground before a superior force, no one could at the time have imagined that these three warriors against the Fifteenth Amendment would in the lapse of-a few months so soon forget their former position as to’ actually go over to the enemy and pitch their tents in the Republicancamp. Such is the fact, nevertheless. No sooner had the late Democratic Convention assembled at Sacramento, and for the sake ef catching the colored vote, declared that “the Democracy accepts the natural and legitimate results of the war including the three several amendments as a settlement, in fact, of all the issues of the war,’’ than Haight, Lewis and Brown, all three at one time jumped on the platform, and for the sake vf the nomination from bitter opponents became le facto supporters of the Fifteenth ‘Amendment. Such abandonment of the former political position, and acceptance of a contrary one is properly termed a departure, because it very much reseimbled the removal of a person from one place to another. It seems however, that such a word does not suit well the Demecracy in general and much less Haight, Lewis and Brown in particular. For they do not wish to make it appear that they have changed their former position, or that they are really in favor of the Fifteenth Amendment. Their profession of acceptance was on'y intended as a sham to delude negro voters, and now sure enough they don’t want to be rebuked for inconsistency by Republicans, ner do they wish to show to their Southern brethren at the South who are killing negroes to diminiso the number of voters, that here at the North they have aece pted the Fifteenth Amendment. Tur Memphis Appeal is still very unhappy about the new departure. It says: “‘When the Democratic party becomes so bankrupt for the want of votes as to repudiate its principles, and, like a faded coquette, set its cap, puts on its sweetest smiles, and use every art and blandishment, accepts accomplished villainies as accomfasts, in_order to woo and win formerly rejected and despised usurpers and despots—it “will share the fate which its tru.weace desecves.”’ Tue Napa Reporter says>“It is enough to disgust intelligent people of every class to read the trash in most of the Republican papers in the State.” That is true; yet we are compelled to quote this trash from Democratic journals as an important witness in.the.case now.pending of i > . his election promised to administer Having given np the. contested . . by its late record has demonstrated that it possesses neither patriotism nor honesty in principles: that it contains in its ranks domineering elements which are ranked in hostile array against, the liberty and safety of the citizen; that in nominating H. H. Haight for Governor it has furnished renewed proofs of the fact that. its. promises of economy, its principles and its New Departure, are devoid of honesty inasmuch= as H. H. Haight, who had previous to the affairs of the State honestly and with economy, has in contradiction to his promises approved by his signature alarge number of the most gigantic swindling bills, which had been passed by the most corrupt Legislature that our State was ever cursed with; while on the other hand he had not the courage to sign the bill repealing-a part of the intolerant Sunday Law, and for the sake of offices gives promises that he does not mean to fulfill; therefore be it Ktesolved, That the German adopted citizens of California at large, and of San Francisco in particular, consider the Republican party the party of the people and of progress, in and through which alone the freedom loving and right thinking adopted American citizen of foreign birth may hope to see his ideas and principles carried out. Resolved, That we adopt heartily the Republican State platform, and consider ita blessing te tae people. Resolved, That we hail with joy the Republican nominations; that we recognize in Newton Booth, the Republican candidate for Governor, an honest man, a friend of the people, and a patriotic statesman whom we may confidently entrust with the guidance of the ‘ship of State,’’ and a. B. F. Bates. Sec’y., J. H. Burnham, that we will employ all honest means to carry through the election of our candidates. Resolved, That we are convinced that the Democratic party has departed from its former sound and popular principles and has gune over to the enemies of humanity and progress; that all secessionists and enemies to social order are to be found in its ranks, and that it therefore does not deserve the confidence of the people. ~ Resotced, That we denounce asa falsehood the resolution passed latelyin one of the Democratic meet ings, that the present Republican administration had sold arius and ammunition to the enemy of our Fatherlaud. That on the contrary, all the hostile feelings and manifestations proceeded from the Democratic camp. Resolved, That although we sympathize with the struggle of our brothers in the Fatherland for liberty and independence, we are nevertheless attached with fervent affection and glowing patriotism to this, our adopted county, and are ready to sacrifice life property for its welfare and glorification. Resolved, That it is our firm determination to make every etfort in the Republican party toward removing detects that may exist, and to keep that party itself constantly ona level with the spirit of the times. _ Resolved, Tnat we call upon and invite all German adopted citizens of California to .co-operate and vote with usin the coming election, for the Republican ticket ‘ Wooven Sprctmens.—In the Alta ion, petrified wood is found abounding in sulphurets. The wood has doubtless been drifting in the channel of the ancient river until fixed in position by the volcanic, or other action, which buried the ancient rivers of California from sight, and the water carrying mineral impregnating and petrifying deposited sulphurets in the crevices and grain of the wood. Wood not petrified but impregnated ‘with deep dark colored dye is also found in the extensive gravel bed of the channel running through Alta Hill, nestling in the crevices of which. are to be seen brilliant specimens of iron, copper, and other sulphurets, which analysis has shown to yield more or less gold.
