The Democratic leaders harp a good deal upon the mismanagement of national finances, and boast in in their platform of the Democratic management of the State debt. A comparative statement of the management of the National debt and the municipal debt of New York City has been made, from which it may be ascertained which party it is comparison begins with December 1869, and runs through twenty-eight months. During that period the National debt, under Republican tule, has been reduced $149,984,192 23, or at the rate of $5,356,578 29 the watch, The muncicipal debt of New York, under Democratie rule, has, during the same period, namely 28 nionths, been increased $52,518,565 18, or per hour, or 7154 cents for every second. seal ae The ratio of debt to population Decrease per head in 28mo’s, 10 57 NEW YORE DEBT. Per head Dec. 1869, $32 58 Per head May 1881, _ 86 57 Increase per head, 28 months, 53 57 Here we have the result of the financial management of the two par-. -_ ties, with all the advantages in favor of the Democracy, gained by the smnall extent of territury and a smaller number of officers. But in addition to the ‘showing here, the fact that National taxes have been reduced enermously,and many of the sourees of Government revenue entirely tional credit been more securely established. But the Democracy pride themBelves on the management of State finances. Let us see. During the term of Governor Haight, a large amount of the assets of the State have been turned into money. We allude to the tide lands, which, after paying the enormous expenses of Commissioners, etc., gave a large surplus to the State. The report of the Tide Land Commissioners shows that the amount of cash receipts from these sales wag $203,417 16, and that the expenses of these sales amounted to $67,617 89, of which $14,071 92 went as salaries to Commissioners, State Board, etc. Of the first two sales, the gross proceeds amounted to $813,108 74, and the Governor estimated that there was land enough left to bring $750,000 more. So much for the tide lands disposed of. ‘The State Treasurer's report shows, for July Ist, 1867, a balance of $1062,199 43 in the fund, and for June 30th, i869, $114,066 41, balance in the fund. : But as tothe reduction of taxes from $1 13 to 85 cents on each $100. What economical measure of the Legislature are we entitled to for this reduction. The last Legidlature was certainly not noted for economy, as it is notorious as the Legislature of “a thousand Commissioners,” each ‘one of Whom is furnished with a good salary. In the statutes of. 67-8 there NN IS tt came into power, and they. broke the compact with the creditors of the State by cutting down the tax for the 95 eents, five cents for confingenéies . commissioners’ salaries, or something of that sort. That’s where the reduction comes in. The contingent expenses of the last Legislarure were $112,123 against $98,650 for the’ ses*. sion before, and that is another in_. Stance of Democraticeconomy. The salaries and fees of every county ofiicer in the State was raised, and that is another instance of Democratic economy, In every view of the question the Democratic financial management ap. pears todisadvantage when compared with the Union Republican party, and in this State more than any other, for it was the. Democracy that run the State in debt far beyond the constitutional limit, and the debt then made was assumed by the people,and they have been heavily taxed for years to pay it. The Democracy are now attempting to place the responsibility of that debt somewhere else. It won’t do. . Poxrtican Rumor.—We were at Nevada city Monday night, and whilst in that place of skating notoriety, we were asked if Joseph Perrin of Grass Valley was really a candidate for the Republican nomination for Sheriff eg Nevada county. A gentleman ‘from the Ridge asked the same question. — Perrin has been mentioned for that office comes from all parts of Nevada county. The wish may befather to the thought, in this case.

Clerk of the Supreme Conrt. Mr. Taggart is an old pioneer of Siskiyou, although yet a young man, having runan express from Yreka to Scott becomes a candidate; however, he will be strong before the convention of . his party and very hard to beat if he j is nominated. That is all we know about that rumor.—G. V. Union. We have heard Mr. Perrin’s name mentioned in connection with the office of Sheriff by Republicans from all parts of the county. There is not a better man living than Joe,. Perrin, and if he should be nominated he will beat any man the Democrats put up. He is a man of unquestioned integrity and fully competent for that or any otlier position. Since the above was written the friends of Joe. Perrin have determined to urge his nomination, and muke the announcement in to-day’s Transcripr. Mr. Perrin has stated that he will accept the nomination if tendered him. Look to your Rights.

After leaving this county, he kept the Tower House for many years, until elected County Clerk of Shasta county, Mr, Taggart has resided in. Northern California—in Shasta Siskiyou and Trinity counties since . 1853, and is intimately known in this Judicial District as a gentleman of the strictest integrity nently qualified for the position he aspires to. Mr. Taggart served two terms in Shasta county as County Clerk, having been elected by large majorities, and the District Judges have always complimented Shasta as having the best Clerk in the District, during Taggart’s term, and said it wasno trouble at all to get along smoothly and quickly with Court work in Shasta. No better man for,the position could be found im the. State, and the people of Northern California and the: State generally will appreciate the wise selection by the State Convention, and rollup a rousing majority for Grant tT. Laggart. Severe Accrpent.—An accident happened on Saturday last at Ophir, Placer county, says the Union, to J. S. Spring, a former resident of Grass Valley, of which we get the following particulars: Mr. S. and a man named John Bowen, formerly residing here, were engaged in sinking a well. They had reached a depth of 35 feet, using giant powder for blasting. On Saturday afternoon, after firing a blast and allowing, as they supposed, sufficient time to elapse to’ clear the well from the effects of the powder, Mr. 8. was lowered and commenced filling the tub with the debris, when he suddenly sprang into the tub and called to Bowen to hoist. When about ten feet from the surface, Mr. S. fel] from the tub to the bottom of the well, striking on the back part of his head. On being brought to the surface he Was unconscious from coneussion of the brain. On examination the spine was found fractured in three places and in addition he had sustained other severe injuries. Doctor Manson was telegraphed for, and went down to attend the case, and when he «left on Monday afternoon, Mr. S, was still unconcious; and although the case looked a little favorable, itis feared the severe injuries received may prove fatal.

Northern California—in Shasta Siskiyou and Trinity counties since . 1853, and is intimately known in this Judicial District as a gentleman of the strictest integrity nently qualified for the position he aspires to. Mr. Taggart served two terms in Shasta county as County Clerk, having been elected by large majorities, and the District Judges have always complimented Shasta as having the best Clerk in the District, during Taggart’s term, and said it wasno trouble at all to get along smoothly and quickly with Court work in Shasta.

Severe Accrpent.—An accident happened on Saturday last at Ophir, Placer county, says the Union, to J. S. Spring, a former resident of Grass Valley, of which we get the following particulars: Mr. S. and a man named John Bowen, formerly residing here, were engaged in sinking a well. They had reached a depth of 35 feet, using giant powder for blasting. On Saturday afternoon, after firing a blast and allowing, as they supposed, sufficient time to elapse to’ clear the well from the effects of the powder, Mr. 8. was lowered and commenced filling the tub with the debris, when he suddenly sprang into the tub and called to Bowen to hoist. When about ten feet from the surface, Mr. S. fel] from the tub to the bottom of the well, striking on the back part of his head. On being brought to the surface he Was unconscious from coneussion of the brain. On examination the spine was found fractured in three places and in addition he had sustained other severe injuries. Doctor Manson was telegraphed for, and went down to attend the case, and when he «left on Monday afternoon, Mr. S, was still unconcious; and although the case looked a little favorable, itis feared the severe injuries received may prove fatal.
