CRED WELL. eaeansies of Nevada City. Booth and the Contest,‘ _. No nomination for Governor has ever been made in this State, which gave such universal satisfaction as that of Newton: Booth. The enthusiasm of the party is greater than at the opening of the last Presidential campaign, and everywhere Booth goes he is received by immense crowds of people. This is not surprising when the character of the man ‘is known, Long before the Convention. met, he had been the choice of the Republicans of the State, and the Convention only offiejally declared in favor of a némination which had already been virtually made by the people. Since the canyass has opened, every speeeh mide by Booth has imcreased: his pop ularity. In language and substance his speeches are far above the highest standard of stump oratory. They uve scholarly productions; worthy of a place among State papers, ‘The people of the State have uever since ite organization had the opportunity to put, such a man as Byoth in the Gubernatorial. chain A finished scholay,.an. eloquent, ovator, and a peer among the very best citizens of the State, he shows a knowledge of the principles of government and a famuliayity with, the wants of: ‘the State, which will insure.a. good adininistration of its affairs. In this county his popularity has increased from the time his name was tirst ‘mentioned as a candidate for Governor to the present time. In every precinct the party has reeeived: accessions, on his aceount, and many old line Democrats, who have never voted anything but the Dérticokatié ficket,’ have openly declared theiy intention to support Booth for Governor, While’ this is the’case with Booth, the enthusiasm ainong Republicans is for the-entire*ticlket.’ Portanately for the interésts ‘of the’patty the entire State : ticket 1 ls satisfactory to the péopie, while in all thé counties the local . nominations © are unusually strong. In Nevada county there so united agin the present contest. With, the. magic of Booth's name and ge LAS, Good Siate and county tickets "aa we have, carnést work Of the part, of the ‘voters of t © nee most glovious. victory, di on Ap dadin: woman fiding ing on gi hd: party wall give The State Administration. At Oakland, on the night of July Yam & spacth wit aay before the iomof: : ; . Hage was sharply Feviewed, He ‘@poke ta fODows: “ To meet the demands made in twelve of Haights subsidy bills, it would require the sum of $2,695,500, ond should the five per cent bill be generally acted upon, the bonds and the interest to be paid by the time +they. would become due, would -be . $82,888,188. The Governor did not sign these bills without due -consideration, and his subsequent course is one of those sudden conversions which seems to be entirely constitut@hal withhim: He cailed attention to the Plumas bill, a Democratic job to buy a wagon road, disguised as a railroad bill, and directing the Supervisors of Plumas to issue bonds ona certain day and prescribing varions\pains; and «penalties for any officer who might refuse to execute its provisions, “What reliance can be placed on an Executive who signs such an iniquitous measure? The speaker continued: — Four years ago they complained about the unnecessary office-holders. I find that during the session of 1867-8 there were 33 offices created, 7 paid by fees, 3 by the day when cmployed, and 23 on an aggregate of $57,446 94. During the next session 133 offices were created, and the total of. 181 officers receive $144,649 95 per annum. I find that in one year the City Hall. Commission has expended $82,948 10. Before they took possession. there had been expended $46,514. Many of these statements are a mere bagatelle as to what they cost the people. The.. Montgomery Avenue _Comwhole army of ‘useless employes. The whole set do not cost the State less than $700,000 perannum. This is the savings to the people they. have effected in that direction. The contingent expenses of the last Legislature aggregated $144,426 66, What an army of useless employes there must have been, ‘Under Low it was $38,150. This in itself was ‘an extravagant amount. Then necessities were the samé; ‘there . were "the same humber of days. For printing, Haight's administration has paid €10,0C0 more than the previous one: ; : (OT fim@ that the’ salary of the . Gov‘ernor is $14,000, as appropriated, He was: allowed $1,200 for porter, $5,000 for secret service—out of ! whieh he builf the monument—and other appropriations amounting to $38,600, Some of these were proper, but all these personal allowances have not been necessary, All these contingent expenses are not reasonuable elements. This admiuistration has been extravagant in the extreme. the most extravagant of all, He promised that the State Prison should pay a revenue, Under Low there was an appropriation of $100,0CO, but it was self-sustaining within $30,000, on account of improvements. The last Legislature appropriated $150,000, and I am informed that there will be a-deficit of $100,000. Jnder. Haight it has cost $120,000 more than under, Low. The Insane Asylum has cost: $60,000 morethazi under Low, ¢ . And all the inereases and, you, will find that this administration has cost the people of the State and counties, $1,000,000 per annum more now than four years ago. How much reliance must we place on their professions in thé future? One of the worst acts in direct opposition to the-Constitution was the lottery bill. Has he promulgated any excuse? Was heso ignorant of. the provisions of the Constitution as not ‘to know that lotteries. were prohibited! Did he not' know that they were more demoraliziny than any other spegies oa gambling? If not, he is not’fit for his position. \A-day ‘or two ago he told us it was important to keep. our echools free from sect, yet he signed a bill virtually giving toa Cathvlic school a portion of the Schoc] Fund. IT make no paint of its being'a Catholic school— any #ect would be the same. Candi‘date Haight seems to be a great enemy: to Governor Haight. In our lit~ gocial’ cizclea we, may, be divided our isuns, but we shouldin our in-' “iii be.Americang only; jour schoo! ia be open to every aaa pr Sia There ia no foatyne, of onr platform I like #0 well as missioners have. power to empley a. . man is more strongl _ Our dt cantialetent $0 wal known, they stand.go high‘in the public estimation, there is no need to say any> thing in their favor. We. shotild carry the State by evéry possible vote. We should not be satisfied by amajority of 26,000 if we can get 80,000; ae ae The Sunday Law. An elder in the church anda pro* fessed Christian, Mr. Haight’s ears were’ pained and; his sensibilities shocked by sounds and observances on: the’ Christian Sabbath; that ‘did not:comport with his ideas of propriety. We accordingly find him playing the role of a lobbyist at Sacramento under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Associaciation of. San Francisco, to procure a law for the better observance of the Sabbath. Common report has it he was the author and instigator of the law. However this may be, he alguien inthis Jf attempt to defend ‘him from, the charges made’ against him, nor. do' they se the acts of his administtation. The thatges of extravagahee, bad management, violation of the Constitution, ; the oath of office and the law, are “made and sustained from the statutes and the. official records, and yet Gov. Haight asstffies to treat these charges with contempt, and his friends denounce them as slanders and ‘libelous. Really this is a new. kind of defence. We do not know that any charges have been made against Governor Haight personally, but:they are all criticisms of his acts as Governor of the State. With these the people have a right to find fault, asthe record of every public servant is public property. A charge made and sustained from the books cannot be thrust aside by merely pronouncing it a ‘‘slander or libelous.’”’ As well might-the culprit at the bar expect to escape after the prosecution is made out, by proclaiming the évidence against bim “‘slanders.’’. Governor Haightis put fairly and squarely upon his defence, was its chief-and-the—most~active advocate: But Mr. Haight became a candidate for Governor in 1867. The Sunday law, in which he had been so warmly interested was obnoxious to a very large’and respectable class of our fellow citizens. If he favored the continuance of the law he would not receive the support of this class. He was addressed on the subject. The Franklin Verein issued a circular to the candidates, which, with the replies, will be found in the. dita. of Aug. 31st, 1867. Among the queries was this; ‘‘Are you willing to pledge yourself to work for the repeal of the existing Sunday law, and against the enactment of any new Sunday law whatever? __Signed, ___Wat__ Crockrr Henry Haspacu. Sccretaries. The following is Haight’s reply: — __ Saw Francisco, Aug. 28th, 1867. Messrs. Crocker & [asbach: Gentlemen-—In reply to your circular of August 21st, ve to say that no in favor of absolute freedom for all religious opinions than I am, nor can any one be more reece to any connection be. tween Church and State, and to an: intermeddling by the clergy with politi¢s, such “as we have witnessed in this election. I am equally appored to any legislation whatever, by which & Btate attempts to_compel. a citizen to, do that which is contrary to his aligions faith, The pledge which you requiré'is designed for members of the slature, and a Governor could not actively interfere with a measure which is exclusively within the’ province of a? legislative a I should a any luw passed by t latter on this subject, How. did’ Governor . Haight fulfill this pltin.and unequivocal promise? A bill came up in the Legislature, for a law, in accordance with the desire of the German élement of our population as well as a very large elass of Americans, who are advocates of the largest liberty compatible with good morals. Did he approve that law as he promised? Hesitating: between the importunities of his church and his pledges, on the strength of which he had come to political power, he kept faith neither with his religious convictions, if ‘he has any, or his political pledges, but in a cowardly manner allowed the bill to become ‘a: law by constitutional limitation, in his hands. poe Se > Why He Did It. The Democratic papers, says the Bulletin, which we‘all ‘know are models of elegant-propriety, are very severe on Congréssmait Sargent for pulling off his coat in the heat of a speech at-Platt’s Hall, The facts and arguments of the speech they do not publish or attempt to controvert; but the exposure of his shirt sleeves in the presence of ladies—a thing no Democratic orator was ever known to do—excites ‘these Turveydrops to strains of anery rebuke. ‘‘Where,’’ says the Hraminer, ‘where in common sense did this blatant demagogue get his idea of politeness?” Probably from that distinguished ‘twar borse’’.in the late Democratic State Convention, who, after doing all in his power to prevent Hajight's nomination, declared with a zeal that reddened his face that he should ‘pull off his-coat, roll up hisisleeves, and go the whole hog, tail and all.” Another Democratic orator went beyond even this flight of mixed ae fay ‘phors, urging the assembl
horses present to “abeap for the aol" > Houstow sounty, Georgia, has a ent /ument, or the Neumann flags,-or any She kills all} g ifshe-has any, and the people have a right to an explanation. The ‘‘silent contempt” dodge. will not do, and is only resorted to because there is no defence. The indictment has been found, the proof made, by . giving the statute and page, in regard to the subsidy record, the gambling act, the law diverting the school fund to sectarian uses, and all other charges made, and the Haightites must go upon their defence or be adjudged guilty. ‘Silent contempt” must result in a verdict of ‘‘guilty as thatged. 2 seo What the mentnees. aou’e Tell. Speakihg of Haight’s record the Examiner says: ‘‘' The statutes of . our State tell what he has accoriiplished: -—'This— isnot altogether correct. The statutes of our State tell nothing about the Burnett Monof those little matters which seem to mark His Excellency's peculiarities of character. The statutes, however, do show-how-hesigned -the Plamas+ bill, and a dozen other subsidy bills, and how he provided places for his hetichmen, some to travel in Europe, others.to edit his organ and draw sinecure salaries, and so forth. The statutes omit to state; however, that the Governor himself draws a salary as attorney to.a Commission created during his term of office. These things may, as the Ewaminer thinks, demand some little attention and study on the part of the people, who are now asked to give him another . opportunity of appointing useless Commissioners, and making Litigant organa}, and érecting monuments over his personal friends at public expense, and passing bills to tax the people of counties against their will, and so-on,-and so-on. So says the Sacthe Bacrame nto Record. —_——<e~—For Sheriff. Joseph Jacobs, formerly a resident of this county has been nominated by the Republicans of Solano county as a candidate for Sherilf.
