Heretofore officers have been complained ‘of for not for having done that they were sworn to do. of this State, enacted by a Democratic Legislature and approved by a Democratic Governor, which reads as follows—see section 90 of the revenue law, Hitiell’s Digest, article 6,239: ‘No person, unless he is a citizen of the United States, or shall have declared his intention to become such, (California Indians excepted,) shall be allowed to take or extract gold, silver, or other metals from the mines of this State, or hold a@ mining claim therein, unless he shall have a license therefor, as hereinafter provided.’’ “YThe 91st and {2d seetions provide the form of the license to be used and the duties of the Controller of State in the issuance of the same. The 93d section, article 6,242, Hittell’s Digest, points out the duty of the Collector. It reads: ‘‘The Collector shall collect the foreign miners’ license tax from all persons liable to pay the same, and may seize the property of ay such person to pay auction on one hour’s notice by proc lamation,’’ etc. The sections of the revenue law referred to above were enacted. when the Democrats werein power in 1861, when John G. Downey was the acting Governor of the State. It was approved by him-and therefore it must.have been a Democratic law: When thé Republicans came into ners’ license law on the Statute books, and when our tax collectors took an oath to dischargo the duties of their, office they meant it. They did not evade the law for the purpose of securing votes, but they’ fulfilled their sworn duty. If the Democratic Tax Collector evaded the law and violated his oaih of office by so doing, upon him must rest the responsibility. We make no charges of the kind against any one. All may have done their duty for aught we know, for we have never investigated ‘the matter. But as our attention has been called to the fact that our opponents are making a handle of this matter to our detriment, we will ere long look into the subject, and then give our opinion. We are glad, however, that the matter has been ealled up, for the reason that it may be the means of striking the obnoxious law, if it be one, from our statutes, or of amending it, so as to conform to the wishes of the people. We believe the Chinese should be compelled to pay for the privilege of working in the mines, and we also believe that after they e paid for the privilege, they enacted that will reach all class laws that attempt to di criminate among men are unconstitutional.

Tne papers of. our opponents are filled day by day. with charges against the Republicans, alleging that they are the peculiar friends-of the Chinaman, and desire ‘to give Chinese equal rights with white men. : All of thesecharges of Course are intended to effect the laboring white ing them against the Republican Gorham’s letter, written four years ago, is paraded before the people as a~bug-bear to frighten little children with, and everything that is mean and contemptible is said of and concerning him and our party, because he had the manliness to say that ‘‘all men were created equal and sprung from one common parent.”’ That while deploring the existence of the Chinese on the Pacific coast, he yet encouraged their right to labor for a livelihood, and that while they remain among us they should . be treated, not like brutes, but men. These Democratic orators and_editors, however, forget to tell the people what Gov. Haight’s views are upon the Chinese question. They forget to tell the people that Gov. Haight, ina message to the General Assembly, in December 1869, recommended to both Houses to remove all barriers that prevented the Chinaman from giving testimony in our Courts against white men. They forget to tell the people that he took dinner with a lot of Chinamen at San Francisco, ate at the same table called them ‘‘our elder brethren.” ~All these things are trae, and although Democratic orators won't tell of iton the stump, nor Democratic editors publish it in their papers, yet we have documents to prove all we assert. In a message which ‘our Christian Governor delivered to the members of the Legislature in Dec. 1869, he uses this language: voters, for the purpose of prejudic. Much has been said dnd written . concerning the action he took in the . Amador difficulties. . nounced by the newspapers in the . interest of Haight, who charged-that. Mr. Phelan’s course was not author. ized bythe Miners’ Union; that he acted voluntarily and under false pretenses. The Enterprise, however, of August 13th, sets that matter all . right, by publishing the resolutions } {adopted by the Union, June 30th, Here they are: RESOLUTIONS OF THE VIRGINIA MINERS’ UNION, ADOPTED JUNE 30, 1871. Whereas, From information derived from the public press, which information we believe to be garbled, or at least given out in the interest of capital, we have learned of the strike now in progress in Amador county, California. ; And Whereas, While we know nothing of the merits of the strike, we are satisfied the principle is right, from the fact that, unless the toiler himself asserts the dignity of labor, he must ever be trodden ‘neath the iron heel of oppression. Therefore, resolved by the Virginia City Miners’ Union, That our sympathies are with the men of Amador in their present conflict, and while we discountenance any violations of the laws, we urge upon our brother miners firmness in their present righteous attitude upon the side of princiResolved, That we deprecate and condemn in unmeasured terms the indecent haste displayed by the Governor of California, H. HHaight, in ordering troops, uncalled for, to Amador, to crush the workingman, whose friend he professed fo be. In so doing he has shown, not only that his professions Of friendship were insincere, but to the rich man he has ‘crooked the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.”’ E _ Resolved, .That, although too. far removed to assist in killing the viper that has stung our brothers, we, irrespective of political Opinions, recommend to our brother miners of California to consign H. H. Haight to the political oblivion his acts deserve, Resolved, That, although the minions of Governor Haight have for a time retarded the prosperity of the “The exclusion of Mongolian tes. timony has been occasioned by the . notorious fact that their testimoby is . so unreliable as in many cases hard. ly to afford a basis for conviction.” Notwithstanding that Chinese testimony is so unreliable, yet Gov. Haight, in closing his message on that subject, uses these words: “My deliberate judgment is strongly in favor of the removal of all barriers to the testimony of any class or race, as @ measure not simply of justice, but of sound poilicy.”’ Here we find Gov. Haighi recommending the Legislature to abolish all laws on the statute books that prohibits Chinese testimony against’ whites, while at the same time he proclaimed them unworthy of belief, for says in the same message: “Statements in direct conflict u on simple facts are constantly ats by equal numbers upon opposite sides,in criminal prosecutions against Chinese defendants, (where their testimony is admitted,) with no perceptible choice on their part betweeu truth and falsehood.” Notwithstanding all tnis, because they are our ‘‘elder brethren,’’ and have sought these hospitable shores to seek a livelihood, the Governor advised the Legislature to break down all barriers that prevented them from giving testimony against white ‘“‘muchly,”’ sent to our for the boys as well as o interesting, however, to rela every man in the office, and boys drank lemonade, except the devil and something else a little stronger than lemonade. We all joined in giving three chéers for Béckman, and then teok a vote for Governor. The following was the result: 8 votes cast; Booth 8, Haight 0. This-is only a mal Se yet bier Oakland, thovgh she is old enough . ourself. .We took ‘‘small beer,”’ ot } an Amador League, it is our firm belief that right and justice will preyail, and that the actions of said Amador League will ere long be crowned with success. Resolved, That we sympathize with the honest toilers, and all that lies in our power will be done at all times to sustain white labor and oppose in all its forms theemployment of coolie labor, now sought to be enforced by Governor Haight’s military power upon the workingmen of the Pacific coast. Resolved, That we invite the Amador League to open a correspondence with this Union, and in return pledge ourselves to a full interchange of friendly sympathies. Resoived, ‘That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Amador League, with a lish, and that a copy "be dopostion tp the archives of this Union. The Enterprise adds: These declarations are straightforward and emphatic. By the resolutions it will be seen— 1, That the action of Gov. Haight is condemned by the Virginia Miners’ Union not because he isa member of this or that political party, but because he has shown himself to be an enemy of the laboring man. 2 That the laboring men of California are counseled to vote against Governor Haight, and ‘consign him to the political oblivion ‘his acts deserve.”’ 3d That Senator Phelan, Presdent of thé Union, visited California as the bearer ofthese resolutions, and in nowise transcended the instructions implied by them. The resolutions received the unanimous vote of the Miners’ Union of Virginia City, and Mr. Phelan was sent to Amador to investigate the difficulties, and if possible bring about 4 Mae At ate 4 abavek bt fae hao Se qanrw} Rug He was de-. under which Mr. Phelan acted.—The State Capitol Frauds. The Examiner having stated that the Committee to investigate charges of frauds-on the State: Capitol had presented a resolution to the Mechanics’ State Council, exonerating the adininistration or the State Capitol Commissioners from all blame in the matter, and that the resolution was jadopted with few dissenting voices, is pronounced absolutely untrue by W.D. Delaney and U. B. Thomas, two of the members of the Commitmittee to Sacramento. These gentlemen caused a card to be published jin the Alta of the 13th gm which they say: “It is absolutely untrue that the Cummittee-presented—and asked the adoption of the above resolution; neither Mr, Delaney nor Mr. Thomas supported or voteedfor it; but on the contrary they both opposed it, Mr. Delaney offering an amendment which was voteddown.

The Alta says, “by this proceeding some $75,000 to $100,000, . contributedby the tax payers of the State, and now in the State Treasury, is witheld’from the volunteers, and they are asked to vote for the man who thus befriended them.”’ This only adds another chapter to ‘the infamous record of Gov. Haight. Some years ago an act was passed by the Legislature authorizing the issuance of bonds toa certain amount, for the bounty and pay of persons who might volunteer in the service of the State during the rebellion. ey placed in the hands of the State Treasurer. Now, when the volun: teers want their money, Gov. Haight ‘Tepndiates by pleading the “baby act.”’ Oh yes, the California volunteers will support Haight with a vengeance. f Sociable. ; ‘“/The Congregational sociable will take place this evening, at the residence of H. 8: Bradley School street.

These Democratic orators and_editors, however, forget to tell the people what Gov. Haight’s views are upon the Chinese question. They forget to tell the people that Gov. Haight, ina message to the General Assembly, in December 1869, recommended to both Houses to remove all barriers that prevented the Chinaman from giving testimony in our Courts against white men. They forget to tell the people that he took dinner with a lot of Chinamen at San Francisco, ate at the same table called them ‘‘our elder brethren.” ~All these things are trae, and although Democratic orators won't tell of iton the stump, nor Democratic editors publish it in their papers, yet we have documents to prove all we assert. In a message which ‘our Christian Governor delivered to the members of the Legislature in Dec. 1869, he uses this language: voters, for the purpose of prejudic. Much has been said dnd written . concerning the action he took in the . Amador difficulties. . nounced by the newspapers in the . interest of Haight, who charged-that. Mr. Phelan’s course was not author. ized bythe Miners’ Union; that he acted voluntarily and under false pretenses. The Enterprise, however, of August 13th, sets that matter all . right, by publishing the resolutions } {adopted by the Union, June 30th, Here they are: RESOLUTIONS OF THE VIRGINIA MINERS’ UNION, ADOPTED JUNE 30, 1871. Whereas, From information derived from the public press, which information we believe to be garbled, or at least given out in the interest of capital, we have learned of the strike now in progress in Amador county, California. ; And Whereas, While we know nothing of the merits of the strike, we are satisfied the principle is right, from the fact that, unless the toiler himself asserts the dignity of labor, he must ever be trodden ‘neath the iron heel of oppression. Therefore, resolved by the Virginia City Miners’ Union, That our sympathies are with the men of Amador in their present conflict, and while we discountenance any violations of the laws, we urge upon our brother miners firmness in their present righteous attitude upon the side of princiResolved, That we deprecate and condemn in unmeasured terms the indecent haste displayed by the Governor of California, H. HHaight, in ordering troops, uncalled for, to Amador, to crush the workingman, whose friend he professed fo be. In so doing he has shown, not only that his professions Of friendship were insincere, but to the rich man he has ‘crooked the pregnant hinges of the knee where thrift may follow fawning.”’ E _ Resolved, .That, although too. far removed to assist in killing the viper that has stung our brothers, we, irrespective of political Opinions, recommend to our brother miners of California to consign H. H. Haight to the political oblivion his acts deserve, Resolved, That, although the minions of Governor Haight have for a time retarded the prosperity of the “The exclusion of Mongolian tes. timony has been occasioned by the . notorious fact that their testimoby is . so unreliable as in many cases hard. ly to afford a basis for conviction.” Notwithstanding that Chinese testimony is so unreliable, yet Gov. Haight, in closing his message on that subject, uses these words: “My deliberate judgment is strongly in favor of the removal of all barriers to the testimony of any class or race, as @ measure not simply of justice, but

of sound poilicy.”’ Here we find Gov. Haighi recommending the Legislature to abolish all laws on the statute books that prohibits Chinese testimony against’ whites, while at the same time he proclaimed them unworthy of belief, for says in the same message: “Statements in direct conflict u on simple facts are constantly ats by equal numbers upon opposite sides,in criminal prosecutions against Chinese defendants, (where their testimony is admitted,) with no perceptible choice on their part betweeu truth and falsehood.” Notwithstanding all tnis, because they are our ‘‘elder brethren,’’ and have sought these hospitable shores to seek a livelihood, the Governor advised the Legislature to break down all barriers that prevented them from giving testimony against white ‘“‘muchly,”’ sent to our for the boys as well as o interesting, however, to rela every man in the office, and boys drank lemonade, except the devil and something else a little stronger than lemonade.

Resolved, That we sympathize with the honest toilers, and all that lies in our power will be done at all times to sustain white labor and oppose in all its forms theemployment of coolie labor, now sought to be enforced by Governor Haight’s military power upon the workingmen of the Pacific coast. Resolved, That we invite the Amador League to open a correspondence with this Union, and in return pledge ourselves to a full interchange of friendly sympathies. Resoived, ‘That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Amador League, with a lish, and that a copy "be dopostion tp the archives of this Union. The Enterprise adds: These declarations are straightforward and emphatic. By the resolutions it will be seen— 1, That the action of Gov. Haight is condemned by the Virginia Miners’ Union not because he isa member of this or that political party, but because he has shown himself to be an enemy of the laboring man. 2 That the laboring men of California are counseled to vote against Governor Haight, and ‘consign him to the political oblivion ‘his acts deserve.”’ 3d That Senator Phelan, Presdent of thé Union, visited California as the bearer ofthese resolutions, and in nowise transcended the instructions implied by them. The resolutions received the unanimous vote of the Miners’ Union of Virginia City, and Mr. Phelan was sent to Amador to investigate the difficulties, and if possible bring about 4 Mae At ate 4 abavek bt fae hao Se qanrw} Rug He was de-. under which Mr. Phelan acted.—The State Capitol Frauds. The Examiner having stated that the Committee to investigate charges of frauds-on the State: Capitol had presented a resolution to the Mechanics’ State Council, exonerating the adininistration or the State Capitol Commissioners from all blame in the matter, and that the resolution was jadopted with few dissenting voices, is pronounced absolutely untrue by W.D. Delaney and U. B. Thomas, two of the members of the Commitmittee to Sacramento. These gentlemen caused a card to be published jin the Alta of the 13th gm which they say: “It is absolutely untrue that the Cummittee-presented—and asked the adoption of the above resolution; neither Mr, Delaney nor Mr. Thomas supported or voteedfor it; but on the contrary they both opposed it, Mr. Delaney offering an amendment which was voteddown.

The Alta says, “by this proceeding some $75,000 to $100,000, . contributedby the tax payers of the State, and now in the State Treasury, is witheld’from the volunteers, and they are asked to vote for the man who thus befriended them.”’ This only adds another chapter to ‘the infamous record of Gov. Haight. Some years ago an act was passed by the Legislature authorizing the issuance of bonds toa certain amount, for the bounty and pay of persons who might volunteer in the service of the State during the rebellion. ey placed in the hands of the State Treasurer. Now, when the volun: teers want their money, Gov.
