Lewis and other sturmpers in the Democratic interest, have acknowledged* the appropriation of moneys from the Secret Service Fund, by Governor Haight, for the Burnett monument. We areinformed that one.of thé speakers at Grass, Valley on Saturday night, stated that ‘‘the Governor drew the money and built the monument as a matter of honor”? -We confess we do not see where the honor comes in. The law . sétting apart this Fund, reads as follows: (See statutes 1869-70.) “For Special Contingent Fund of the Gevernor’s Ollice, five thousand dollars; te-be drawn athis discretion, ised fox.a Secret Service = and { unpose tohalever. rowidied fasth , that the Governor shall account for the disbursements of the same to thaSenate at the next session of the Legislatare:”’Now the only question is, whether buying monuments is a part of the Secret Service of the State. The Governor haa just as much right to buy portraits‘as' monuments, and if the law permits him to do the one, why not spend another thousand in buyitig’a portrait of Senator Burnett for the Governor's. mansion at Oak. land. There: is: no getting around the plain, terms of this law. The money is designed fora Secret Service Fund, to secure such services as the inte#ests. of “the “Whole State requites, and'‘to pay for such services, and also, to. pay-for, services, which in their nature‘ate required not to be made. public. .. This is the entire objeotot this Fund, and ‘the Governor of the State bas.no more right to use iss Wbchig Ranta das he own house with pictures, But this is not the worst of this affair. _Goyernor Haight has not only taken. the State's mopey,in open violation of the State law, whichdeclares the Fund and for.no other, purpose whatever, but he »haswdeclared upon the mionument that the column was ‘‘erected t his deesived Wend,” etc. He loes not ew. athe State coredit for the expenditure, and Col.

Von Monday 57 persons were naturalized in the County. Court.. Their nativity was as follows: England, 36; Scotland, 2; Ireland, 7; Denmark, 3; Wales, 2; Portugal, 3; France, 2; Prussia, 1; Germany, 1. /Buratiny.—On Saturday evening last between the hours of 7 and 10 o’clock, says the Grass Valley Union, the residence of Henry Ivens, of Gilman & Ivens, on the corner of Main and Alta streets, was entered by some. one or more burplars, by breaking a pane of glass, thus enabling them to, reach the spring fastening and raise the windsw. Their plunder, as far as is known, consisted of a silver mounted revolver and some eight or ten dollars in silver.and gold coin. From the _fact_of Mrs. Ivens_ being absent at the time, and Mr. I. attending to his business in the lower par‘ of the town, the burglar or burglars are supposed to have been on the lookout for the absence of the inmates. / It is_probable the burglars. are the same who ransacked the Whitings’ cabin at the brickyayd a day or two previous, and the same pair who made a threatening Cemonstration on a gentleman vad lady while passing along Schooj street, a few nights since, to their residence on the upper partof Wa'sh street, but fearing from the movemeuts of the gentleman that he wa s too well armed, thought best to allow him and his lady to proceed without aettal molestatation. In this connectiun, it may be well to suggest to miners selling their gold dust in town; the exercisé Of more than ordinary caution on returning to their homes with the coin. We know a minér who, on Saturday last, brought from his claim, two and ao half miles from town, $600 in gold dust, for which he received the coin, and left town just at dark and unarmed for home, with the coin in his pocket. As his way lay throagh a district mostly woods and chapparel, with but one house on the road, should that miner have been ‘‘spotted’’ while in town, we would not have insured his safety for ninety-nine cents on the ‘dollar.

The Republican papers and speakers throughout the State should make themselves familiar with the facts therein, for the figures, taken from the official records, effectually spike the principal gun the Democracy, and particularly Governor Haight, relied on for the canvass. The way the reduction was made is another count against the party, and instead of being a merit, as the Governor would have it, is a disgrace that men of any shame in their composition would seek to hide. The statement of the case in plain English can be in no other terms than that the creditors of the State were robbed that the Democratic party might niake a false show of economy. Howisit ? By an agreement of the most sacred character the State pledged a certain amount of taxation on each one hundred dollars of valuation, to pay the interest on bonds she had put on the market und sold, and to provide a fund for their ultimate redemption. The agreement with the purchasers of the bonds was, that a certain amount of tax should be levied annually till the last bond was faith with these creditors? In spite of the supposed inviolability of a contract like this,the last Legisla‘.ure robbed—actually robbed—the hoi ders of these bonds of money thr.t belonged to them, and now lay «:laim to the suffrages of the people «gain on A statute was violated, a sacred co-atract with creditors broken in. that. twenty-five cents onthe $100 was not paid to entered into in good faith, and which is a stain on the er: dit of a commonwealth to. allow to-bebroken.

M.° Pomeroy— com.mcnly called Brick Pomeroy—is stv ming the State for Haight & Co. Tiais Mr. Pomeroy was editor and proprietor of the La Crosse (Wis.) Democrat during and since the war. He opposed the election of Lincoln, and during his administration prayed that some Brutus might arise to stab co the heart and rid the world of his hated presence. And whenthat Brutus did arise in the person of John Wilkes Booth, and when the bloody deed was done'over which the good and preat of all the world wept, M. M. Pomeroy in his La Crosse Democrat, glorified in the: murder, and almost deified the. assassin! And this is the man now stumping California for the ticket headed by H. H_ Haight for Governor, is > Ferry Siaventer.— The deaths by the explosion of the Staten Island ferry boat Westfield will probably reach one hundred. One of the managers of the company declared that the engineer was considered to be the most competent one in their employ. But it turns out that this engineer could not explain the difference between a high and low pressure engine—that he could not read a written document at all, and had to have help to enable him to read the inspector’s printed regulations, and especially the blanks which had been filled in with ajpen. This eng-neer slaughtered a hundred passengers throngh ignorance. But the company say that they considered him the most trustworthy engineer in their employ. Some one ought now to give the qualifications of the other engineers, who, up to this time, by marvelous good. fortune, have not blown up théir boats. — ws o Acting in Concert. The Sacramento.

California meets their earnest-a7 yproval: Goutp Hu. August 5, 1871. To THE Eprror c ¢ tHE ENTERPRISE. —Dear Sir: In tne Daily State Register of August 3, 2. noticé another editorial expressio a relative to the object of Mr, James ’’helan’s visit to California, togeth.er with some choice animadversiops on that gentleman’s connection with the Miners’ Unions of Storey county, and his ‘‘using his influence as President of the same for political purposes.’’ Now, as a warm, personal friend of Mr. Phelan; I desire to set him, and the organization over which he presides, right before. the public in regard to the questie n the Register has raised. First—Mr. Phelan’s visit to California was a personal matter with him, and not as the representative of paid. Has the Democratic party kept'. the organization as such. Second—Mr. Phelan, previous to his departure, expressed himself in his capacity asa member of the Union, .and asa workingman, as being opposed to the re-election of Governor Haight. Tn this feeling and this determination he expressed the sentiments of the organization, which views Governor Haight’s course in the Amador troubles as inimical to
the interests of all workingmen. With politics, as am organization the Miners*-Unions-have nothing to-do: At the same time, when an individual proves by his acts to he an enemy of the laboringmen, we desire that the laboringmen should retaliate, and consign to political oblivion all persons, regardless of their political principles, aspiring for political preferment befere the people, who oppose the interests of the laboring classes. The great questions of the future -will be these ef labor and capital: Not that we desire, nor do_-we_intend to raise unnecessarily a conflict the same time we recognise. the fact; and we will endeavor to make it felt, that workingmen, that poor men; the bone and sinew ofthe country, who are expected to, and do fight its battles in times of difficulty and danger, shall receive a fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work. Such is our aim, {such is our object, and Governor Haight or anybody else who plants himself in antagonism to these principles we shall oppose. Governor Haight has done so, and for so doing we desire his defeat. Personally, the undersigned never voted a Republican ticket in his life, always having been a Democrat from ‘principle; hence, itis not from any political bias that, as 2 laboring man and a Democrat, he desires the defeat of Mr. Haight, I fail to see any impropriety in Mr. Phelan going to California to help bring about this consummation. (to which I have the honor tobelong) which deems its interests, in a measure, at stake, and in his efforts to avert the threatened danger he has the sympathies of his co-laborers, as the resolutions passed by several Un ions of this county, previous to Mr, Phelan’s departure, will show. It is no harm for Mr. Brick Pomeroy to be sent to California to help elect Haight—the workingman s enemy—-but it is actually fearful for Mr. Phelan, a worthy workingman himself to utter a word, or do an act in behalf of the class to which he belongs. The Register,.as a party organ, and from a party standpoint, of } course desires the suecess of Haight; but we as laboring men desire his defeat, not because he is a Democrat, but because we regard himas being opposed to our interests as a class. You will pardon me, Mr. Editor, for thus trespassing on your valuable space, but I deem that L would not be doing justice to my friend if I passed’ those attacks by unnoticed; it is useless trying to make political capital out of the fact of Mr. Phelan’s efforts to defeat Governor Haight, and if the leaders of the ocratic party want to retain any workingmen in} their) ranks, ‘the less said about supporting Gov. Haight the better. Respectfully, WiuuuM Wuure. ee an see Pouicr Judge Henley.o Sacramento has renounced his allegiance to the Democratic party, and becomes a Republican. Im a recent speech in that city he said that the new departure had carried the party rather too far from the Democratic principles, as always understood: by him, Southern born and raised, and that if he must be a Republican, he wonld bemillion and a quarter dollars-have. ®°™6#-consistent One by henceforth affiliating with the party of progress, and being an outand out Republican.
