Mistatement Corrected. Guder-this-head-the Oakland News of the 14th, says: On Saturday night we understood Governor Haight to say that the Republican party is in faver of Chinese suffrage, and that in his Oakland speech, some years ago, Senator Stewart had openly advocated that measure. We beg to assure the Governor that he is mistaken, We printed Senator Stewart’s speech at that time, from the manuscript; we have it before us now, ‘and there is no passage in it that can be so construed. We do not wish to be discourteous toward Governor Haight, and will therefore #dd only that he is mistaken, and has been misinformed. If anybody of less official consequence had made that false assertion, we should say that he had lied. Tuer is a woman who lives in an Ohio town whose love of truth is so great that she lately considered herself in duty bound to burn with a knife blade the tongue of a young servant girl whom she detected in falsehood. When thiskind woman’s neighbors mildly remonstrated with her about this mode of deating with the culprit, she claimed that the girl had not told a lie since the hot iron had been applied to her tongue—probably because she could not speak— and vindicated her treatment as a judicious cure forthe fault.— Exchange. Would it not be well to burn the tongues of such men as Al. P. Dudley, Joe Hamilton and hosts of others, who are. now perambulating this State and telling lies by wholesale, against Newton Booth, Pacheco and other members of the Republican State ticket? We guess that sort of panacea would be very affective in the way of a preventative to lie telling; and a hotiton applied to the hands ofthe Examine? and others of like ilk and kidney, would be a very judicious mode of treatment for the cure of lying, Try it, and if it don’t prove effective we. will recommend something else. Another Accession. The San Jose Mercury says that Pat J. Malone, an old Democratic editor, has taken the stump for Booth and lately addressed a meeting of kis Irish countrymen in Santa Clara. : Mr, Maloneisa man of substantial . Ability amd mm his professional capacity as a phanographic reporter, has . hait Gpporttutities to thoroughly inPee Bes « _ He is a fitet'rate stump wpeuker and’ pacity of distilling establishments. The stills which he visited and gauged are owned ard located as follows: J. E. Marshall, John Frank, and Charles Kline, at Grass Valley; . Jacob Amberg, at Garden Ranch ; Francis Seibert, Josiah Rogers, E. Weiss, and C. Fogeli, at Nevada; A. Carion, North San Juan; and H. Walters, at the Anthony House.. Five of these stills, viz: those of Marshall, Seibert, Rogers, Walters and Carion, were erected exclusively for distilling brandy from grapes and other fruits, the others having been teed in connection with breweries. But Messrs. Weiss and Fogeli are preparjing to distill frait this season, for . which purpose it will be “necessary . to remove their stills from the bre veries. This will give us four distill.ing establishments in Nevada town. ship. Mr. Kennedy informed us ‘that in the four townships through which he traveled, there is fruit . enough growing, which is now most. ly wasted, to produce annually 20,000 gallons of proof brandy. This . would be worth at the stills some . $50,000; or $40,000 in addition to ;the tax. The amount heretofore produced in the county has been in. Significant; but Mr. Davenport, the . Federa! Assessor, who has conversed . with all the distillers, is of the opinion that the product this year will giuount to #,000° galions, and that . the business will rapi@ly increase . from this on. Nevada county is far . behind El Dorado and Placer in the . production of brandy and wine. In El Dorado there are between forty and fifty stills in operation which produce each from 300 to 3;000 gal. lons of proof brandy annually. This sells at the distilleries from $150 to $4 00 per gallon, according to quality, and,with the production of wine, has become a leading resource of the people of that county. Placer county is behind El Dorado in the production of brandy and wine, but far ahead of Nevada. _Butas-eur-peeple are now becoming convinced of the advantages of the production and utilization of fruits, we have reason to believe that the county will soon take a leading position in the business. Only a small proportion’ of our present population are capable of working in the mines; but large numbers might be profitably employed in the cultivation and gathering of fruit, and preparing it for the wine vats and distilleries—much of this work being less laborious than mining, and requiring less muscle. A project was started in-Nevada, a year ago last Spring, to organize a joint stock company for the mantfacture of wine and brandy on a large scale; bnt it was abandoned on the supposition that the fruit product of this immediate vicinity was not sufficient to justify the enterprise. As many vineyards and orchards have since been planted, and others have into bearing, it is to be hoped that the project will be revived by another season; or that failing, that the capacity of some of our present stall stills will be greatly enlarged. Next year, there will be frait enough grown in Nevada township, which cannot otherwise be utilized, to produce 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of brandy, which can immediately be sold for export at a fair profit, and its value will increase asit acquires age. A Plea Well Taken. The Grass Valley Union, noticing our expose of the character of Al. Dudley, puts in a plea of estoppal. He argues that as Booth and Dudley stumped the State for Grant in 1868, it condoned Dudley’s faults of 1862, and therefore the Republicans are estopped from saying anything against Dudley now. We plead guilty to the plea, and acknowledge the “corn,” Bro. Shoemaker, we owe you one. Will pay it when we meet. A Dirty Scamp, There is a dirty, lying sheet, published at Sacramento, and edited by some lying scalawag, that pronounces a statenteht madé by the editor of this paper @ lie, when he asserted that a gewtieman infortried’ him’ he had séen Mongolians at work for Governot Haight. An editor must be‘hard tip fo? arguments to sustain his rotten cause, when he has to resort to’ such’ ééntemptible langtage ageimstan opponent. When we have . mote time and rovm, we will ventiabut o% late the dirty sea'-wag ef the Demo. As Govertior Hehe is to address the people at this.place next Taesday evening, we ask him to EXPLAIN TO THE P£oPrLE, and tell them what right he had as Governor pleasure the presence of great numof this State to take the people’s money, raised by taxation and placed be used for certain putposes, and apply the same to the payment of a monument in honor of Senator Burnett. EXPLaINn to THE Prope, why, after using their money to build the monument aforesaid, he claimed the credit for it to himself. * ExpnLarn To THE Prop.e, why he deliberately violated the Constitution and laws of the State by signing the lottery bill, and thus violated his oath of office. Expiarn To THE Prorie, why it was he, as Governor, signed eighteen subsidy bills granting valuable lands belonging to the State, and millions of money, to railroad corporations ; vetoed two : made war upon one or two signed by him, and now claims to be par excelence the anti-subsidy candidate for Governor. EXPLAIN TO THE PKoPLeE all about his subscription to the Neumann flag, and how he came to use the people's money, raised by taxation and placed in his hands for certain purposes, to pay his subscription to the flag, and claim the credit to himself. ExpLaIn To THE Prope what the ‘‘new departure’’ doctrine of the party means. Whether it means that the 15th amendment was constitutionally adopted,or whether it means that it shall, if his party again comes into power, remain a dead letter. ExpLaIN TO THE PropLe, why it was that on the 5th day of January, 1870, he sent a message to the General Assembly in which he used these remarkable words—answering this question: ‘Would the amendmnnt [l5th) be valid if it went through the forms of adoption? ’—‘If this amendment is adopted the most degraded digger Indian within our borders becomes at once an electur, and so far a voter. His vote would count for as much as that of the most inteHligent white man in the State. In this event, also, by a slight amendment to the naturalization laws, the Chinese population could be made electors.’”’ Now we want Governor Haight to : EXPLAIN TO THE PrOPLE whether the 15th amendment, so called, is part and parcel of the Constitution of the United States; whether he and his party friends acknowledge it as a legitimate article of the Constitution, as much so as the Ist, 6th, 9th, and 12th; and if so, whether or not -he stated the truth when he said the adoption of the 15th amendment would give the ballot to the digger Indians. We further desire Governor Haight to ; ; EXPLAIN To THE PropiE, why it was he called the ‘heathen Chinee”’ our elder brethren, took dinner with them at San Francisco, and now claims to be par excellence the antiChinese candidate for Governor. . ExpLaIn To THE Pxopie, why he wrote a letter welcoming the heathen Chinee to our hospitable shores, and now wants to kick them out. ExpuaiIn To THE PEOPLE, why he promised the Germans of San Francisco that he would approve any law the Legislature might enact on the Sunday question, and afterwards refused to sign the law enacted on the subject. ' “EXPLAIN To THE Prope, why he pledged himself to the Young Men’s Christian Association that he would do all in his power to prevent the desecration of the Sabbath. and in violation of this pledge suffer an act authorizing theaters and concerts aud all kinds of amusements to be had on Sundays, to become a law without his signature. ExpLain To THE Peopie, why he signed the infamous -‘ litigant bill’’ compelling the people to publish their legal notices and advertisements in certain Democratic crgans, and at prices more:than double the ordinary rates, EXPLAIN TO THEPgopiE whether at the time he signed the “litigant bill,” he was not a stock holder in the Sacramento Reporter, the State litigant organ. EXpPLaIn to THR. Prgpix, why it was that, professing t6 be the friend of the settler and the.working man, he opposed and defeated the claim of Lamon and Hutchinson to 160 acres of land each in the Big (tree disEXPLatw ‘to ‘rue Pxopie whether he-; was: the wuthor ofa resolution, and itted it in 1853 at the con"sary isnt on Catna, deliyered by Rev. Mr. Spear at San Francisco, reading as follows: ‘Resolved, That we regard “with bers of these people [the Chinese] among us, as affording the best op. portunity of doing them good, and in his hands a8 a contingent fund to} through them of exerting an influence in their native land.” ExpLaIn To THE PEOPLE, why, if he regarded, with pleasure the presence of large numbers of these people among making-it appear he is anxious to get rid of them. Consistency, you know, is a jewell of great value. When Gov. Haight makes a speech at this place we want him to explain all these things satisfactorily if he can. The people demand that he shall doso. No evasion will satisfy them.—'Fheywant him also to explain the frauds on the laborers working on the-State’ Capitol and Execytive Mansion at Sacrameyto, why he yiolates the Constitution-apd laws by living away fgom the seat of government, when it is made incumbent on him to reside there. When he has answered these things satisfactorily, we will ask him to ex. plain some other things which look . dark as ebony. An AccEssion.— The Sacramento Union of Tuesday last has the following: _ It is reported, on first-class authority, that S. T. Oates, the redoubtable champion of Democracy in Nevada county, as well as in the last Legislature, is-notpleased with the new departure, and proposes to vote for Booth in consequence. He has communicated his intention to a throng of admirers, who, like Barkis, are ‘‘willin’.’’ Who will say there is not a providential compensation in nature when the place of Dudley in the Republican party is so soon supplied Dy Oates ee sare The Union had not received a copy of this paper containing Mr. Oates’ speech, when the above was panned, or it would have known precisely how he stood politicallyGrand Tlumination and Torchlighi Procession,
. Senator Nye of Nevada, Senator Cole of this State, and John L. Love, our candidate for Attorney General, will address the people at this place, on Saturday evening, August 19th. Everybody is invited to come here on that day and listen to these Republican champions. There will be a grand illumination of the city and a torchlight procession on the occasion. Come everybody and bring your torches, your ‘bands of music, and unite with us. All will be made welcome. , Democratic Gathering. VThe Democrats had quite a spirited meeting at their club room Tuesday evening. There were quite a large number of people in attendance, attracted thither by the band, who discoursed some excellent music. The speeches were stale and flat, and elicited little enthusiasm. Where’s Taylor’s bear? / ’ Thanks, YG. W. Welch, of the Nevada Bookstore, laid upon our table yesterday quite a number of Eastern periodicals and newspapers—among them Harper’s -Monthly for September, and Harper's Weekly of August 19th —for which he has our thanks, Torches. We are requested to notify all persons, who have torches belonging to this place, to return them, on or before next Friday evening. They are wanted for Saturday the 19th. > Ir is stated that on a window pane on the north side of a house at Ashtabula, Ohio, there can be seen a perfect profile of aman. The outlines of the picture were first noticed about six weeks ago, since which time they have gradually developed’ The profile represents a man of middle age, very heavy, full beard with turned . down collar. The sash was sold for twenty-five dollars. But when it was removed from the house no traces of the picture appeared; upon being replaced it was as plaiii as ever, Attempts to wash the picture off or to otherwise remove it have been futile, Democratic Computsory Epucatrox.—The workingmen's representatives being unable to understand the honesty of the Capitel construction, } Haight & Oo's raffians try to beat it into them, an f) . . ,. Senator. . Be not too Confident. Many a political battle has been lost in consequence of the overconfidence of one side and the wideawake spirit of the other. We tell our Republican friends all over the county and State, not tosit down and fold their hands in idleness. The battle has not yet been fought and the victory declared. Don’t be too sanguine of Booth’s election or a victory to our county ticket. To wina great victory every Republican must us then, he is now so desirous of} work, work hard, work all the time, and work till sunset on election day. No lethargy will answer now. Our opponents are wide-awake and active. They are working like busy bees in harvest time, and are leaving no stone unturned nor work undone necessary to secure to them a victory. We know that many of our opponents have given up all hopes of electing any man on their county ticket, except their candidate for Sheriff, but this does not deter them from working for the’ whole ticket like beavers. . We know that Democrats here hate ‘proposed to trade any man on their county ticket for a vote for Dickson, and we have authority for stating that a colored man was approached with a proposition of the kind, who spurned it with contempt. We know that if the Republicans all over the county were half as wide-awake and active in-behalf of their own ticket as the Democrats are for theirs, victory would be ours, and Nevada county would proclaim herself for Booth and Pacheco by 600 majority. Republicans, awake! arouse! and go to work. No Mistake or Slander. Some days ago a short article appeared in this paper from the pen of the editor, in which it was stated that Te Loy, a Chinaman of Grass Valley, made a contract for twenty= five Chinamen to work on Gov. Haight’s place in Alameda county, and the editor stated that he learned the facts from a gentleman who saw the men at work for the Governor. The Grass Valley Union answers the article by saying that Gov. Haight has aresidence at Oakland, but no ranch, and that therefore the statement must bea lie. Now the word ranch’don’t appear anywhere in the TRanscript’s charge. The word used was place, and place means residence and road, as well as ranch. Notwithstanding thedenial--of -the Union, we are inclined to believe the charge to be ‘true, and as proof of it, offer the following, clipped from an exchange: While Senator Comte was addressing a meeting in San Jose last week, and loudly declaiming against the Chinamen, an Irishman on the outskirts of the crowd stated that he had been employed by Governor Haight, with a number of other workmen, building a road in Alameda county, and that as soon as their votes were secured and the election over, he and his co-laborers were discharged, and a gang of Chinamen put on in their place. We have no knowledge of who the editor's informant was, but presnme if put to it, the gentleman, whoever he is, will make his statements good. ANOTHER FatsEHooD NatLep.—It has been charged that George C. Gorham will be a candidate for U. 8. Senator if Booth is elected Governor with a Republican majority in the Legislature. The Vallejo Recorder, in speaking of this matter, says: — _Our Kuklux fellow citizens are terribly afraid of Gorham, and the Democrat of this city is endeavoring to make capital out of an assertion that he is a candidate for United States _ We know of worse men than he is for the position, but we can relieve all of their fears, by stating from the best authority that Mr. Gorham does not intend to take any part in the Senatorial contest. He 18 a citizen of Massachusetts, and while he feels an interest in the welfare and prosperity of California, he does not presume to dictate to the people of this Commonwealth who they shall .send to represent tbem in the national councils. Newton Booth is to serve as Governor for four years, and some able and sterling Republiean will be chosen to succeed Cornelius Cole. Meeting at N. San Juan. rhe Republican meeting at North San Juan, on Tuesday evening, was a grand affair and very enthusiastic. The Republicans are wide-awake over there, and will give a good account of themselves on election day. We have no room to Say More now.
