The Placerville trial has also been water on the Chronicle’s mill. 1» What the evidence did not show déregatoty to Sargent, the reporters of that sheet made up by suggestive headlines, and the editor by sneering editorials. When the prosecu-, tion got an opportunity to present. the other side of the question, there was avery different complexion put upon the whole affair. After reading the evidence of Sargent, Page Blanchard and others, it‘can be seen how much the Chronicle has had to base itsabuse upon. It has hada _lot of soreheads—generally of men who have been discharged from Federal employment, or thcse who have been disappointed in obtaining fat positions; to give it information, and one of its owners being in the same category, it has struck right and left regardless of consequences.” The trial has shown nothing that ‘ connects Sargent with the things charged against the ring, except upon the unsupported testimony of Pinney. He has come out of the trial, in our opinion, pretty thoroughly vindicated whether the jury award a verdict against the Chronicle ornot. This trial too, was not the one commenced by Sargent, and of course he could not get in much evidence in vindication. of himself. When his own case comes on, it is probable that testimony will-be introduced which was not attempted this time, when a complete vindication of himself anda thorough ven-. tilation of the motives which have prompted the Chronicle in its attacks may be expected. <*> , Stand By The Republican Ticket, . The Oakland Transcript has the following which will apply to this county, by changing Alameda to Nevada county. Head it and heed it:. . ‘There is one imperative duty which every Republican in Alameda county is called upon to perform in the present campaign, aad with the faithful performance of that obligation the success of the Republican party -is assured; and that is to stand: by the ticket; without exception or deviation on account of personal considerations, The Convention has given us.as good a sglection as could be made from the body of our citizens, and it is not claimed by the opposition that any one of our candidates are disqualified, gjther through want _ of ability or for any other cause, and there is therefore no juatificati>n for evading the ordinary obligations by ’ which parties. are constituted and maintained. We sball doubtless hear much of selecting the ‘best men” from each of the parties, but experience will show, as it has done in all former time, that Democrats seldom or never go out of their own organization to find ‘‘the best men,” and that this liberality of sentiment is altogether one-sided in practice and always at the expense of the Re-. publicans. If it be thought worth while to maintain party organization at all, it surely ought to be insisted on akan election involving the government of the county, the eomposition of the Legislature and the election of a United States Senator. \ Let every Republicau therefore stand by theticket from top to bottom. Let there be no trading, io throwing off on avy one, no bad faith towards any of the candidates, all of whom have accepted the nominations with the implied understanding that they will receive the full support of the party which they undertake to serve, Without @ general cousent to this reasonable proposition, the press ean do very little, and there will be imminent danger of losing the prestige which Alameda poynty hax ac quired as the banner Republican county, and of sustaining 9 calamitous. defeat.’ a —_ sis CaRns $3 and $4 per dozen, Cabinets $3 and $6 at Sunbeam Gallery, pged-de No Trading of Votes, The Republican candidates of Amador have entered into a compact Which ough: to beadopted here.’ They have severally piedged to one another that there shall be no trading of votes, and each will do his utmost for the success of the whole ticket. Thisis right. No man on a party ticket has any-right to improve-his,own chances of election by sacrificing his brother candidates. The interests of the party, as well as of each individual candidate, are best promoted by the nominees not working so mach for their own personal advantage as for the ticket in its entirety, The system of trading is not only demoralizing to the party, but tends to defeat the object sought to be obtained by those who resort to it. It requires no argument to cdénvince any reasonable man that no headway is made where the candidate and his intimate triends concentrate their efforts upou one particular individual on the ticket, and manifest indifference com cerning the fate of the rest. It must be apparent to everyone that where all are engaged in this selfish business, their exertions count for nothing, and the outcome will be precisely the same as though they had not exerted themselves at all. Let us all stand by the ticket as a whole, here as in Amador. We have a good set of candidates, and every man is well qualified for the office tot which he is nominated. Let every candidate work and instruct his election depended upon the success of the ticket. Richards-Bernard Opera Troupe.

Only one case is now pending before the Foreign office, and that simply relates to a fine; The rights of American citizens of foreign birth are now so well understood and _respected that Mr. Fish expresses the belief that Germans who have become naturalized in the United States in good faith and with the intention of retaining their citizenship of this country, and not merely for the purpose of avoiding military duty at home, will have nothing to fear on visiting their native land, In some cases they may be subjected to delays’ ia procuring a reovgnition of their tights, but such a recognition is ulA Mining Claim Servey. “The San Haheisco Bulletin gives the following particulars of a suit how being tried in that city,), in which several citizens of our county are interested.

United States Assistant Attorney Van Dnozer appearing for the Government andLattimer & Morrow as counsel for the defense. ‘In his opening statement to the jary Mr. Van Duzer said he expected to prove that Jast March the Gold Bar Mining Comipany applied to the United States Surveyor-General of this State to have a survey made of a mining claim-tebated on the dividing lime between El Dorado and Placer counties, preparatory to applying for a patent thereto. The Surveyor-General directed Deputy Surveyor Freeman to make such survey. He went upon the,claim, duly made a survey according to law and ‘instructions, and returned the result in proper form, In the meantime, a rival claimant, the American Falls Mining Company, aseertained the, proceedings of the Gold Bar Company, and applied to Bethel, who resided in Grass Valley, some 200 miles distant from theclaim, Bethel did not go upon the.claim, made no survey, swore no cheinmen, flagmen or axman to assist bimy,as required by law, but sitting down in his office friends to work as though his own . at Grass Valley, made up a set of. survey papers. It appears that in 1875, another party had takem steps preparatory to applying for a patent tothis same claim, and-a survey was made therefor. Bethel.took old papers and changed the dates from February 28th, 1875, to March 15th, 1877, went before a Justice of the Peace, made an oath that he had made a survey at the latter date, attached this oath to the false papers, and transmitted all to the SurveyorGeneral in this city. The documents were thence transmitted to the Register’s and Receiver’s office in Sacrathento, {When.the Gold Bar Company presented their papers at the Register and Receiver's office, they. found that the rival company had forestalled them, and the office refused to file their documents. The Gold Bar Company thereupon brought an actionin a District Court to oust the American Falls Company, which led to the establishing of the falsity of the papers made by Bethel. Mr. Lattimer raised the law point that there was nothing in the Congressional Mineral Act requiring a Deputy Surveyor of mineral lands to make an oath of his survey, The point was argued at length and Judge Sawyer overruled the motion for the present as he desired an opportunity to consult the Revised Statutes of the United States. © Mr. Morrow stated to the jury what would be the line of the defense. He said that the charge grew out of a mining claim contest between other parties than the defendant. One party got in a survey before the other, party, whereupon . Deputy Surveyor Bethel was indicted. The contested claim was known as the Mammoth Bar Gold Mine, located on the Middle Fork. of the American River. The claim had been in the possession of Mrs, David Shoemaker, and her predecessors tor twenty-five years. The mine was worked by the American Falls Company in 1874 or 1875. The husband of Mrs. Shoemaker Icaned the company money and bought in the claim at Sheriff’s sale on a judgment for his money. Mrs, Shoemaker became the owner of the claim under of Mr. Shoemaker the American Falls Company made an application for a survey of the claim, but omitted to deposit the required $40 °with Surveyor-General Stratton to cover the expenses of this office work. This was in July, 1875. The Company made the usual arrangements with Deputy Bethel, who went on and made thé survey. The Company neglected to make .$40 deposit and the Deputy did not make up his field notes. In 1877, the attorneys of Mra. Shoemaker discovered that sh hades title to the claim.
