aOR ml a _ NEVADA CITY, CALIFORNIA. wily Gransevipt, SUNDAY, MAY 17, 186s. ‘THe Democracy AND THE Bonp States bonds from taxation has been one of the great grievanves upon which the Democratic party has harped. The leaders of that party have declared that the capitalists held these bonds and that the poor ‘people of the contitry have ‘ been oppressed by taxation while these bonds are exempt.” Passing over the fact that the pledge not to tak these bonds is a sacred obligation which the government has assumed and the addi¢ional. fact that their exemption is in part the inducement upon which the money was loaned the government, let us enquire who are the bondholders.— The city of New York with its’ mony princes and mixed population isa proper field for this inquiry. The New York Evening: Post says that “after careful inquiry, it is ascertained that out of five of the richest men in New York City only two are holders of United _ Btates bonds, and this only to a very inconsiderable amount, and that among those who return incomes of over one . _ hundred thousand dollars in New York and Brooklyn, about the same relative proportion of bond holders exists. On the other hand, the saving banks of New York hold forty-nine millions of ,, Rondsas investments for the funds of their depositors, the interest of which, deducting the expenses of the banks, is paid to 483,501 of the laboring men and women of New York semi-annually. Of the: several classes whose money is thus invested, the largest in numbers . are, first, domestic ; second, laborers ; third, seamstresses : fourth, clerks ; fifth, tailors; sixth, waiters ; seventh, cartmen. A'list of the occupations of those who receive the dividends of the 5-20 bonds, taken. from one of the say-. ing banks of the city, shows that all the trades are represented. The life insurance companies of’New York hold twenty millions of the bonds, as security for the persons, in all parts of the country, who hold their policies, and the fire insurance companies hold fortysix millions as security for their customers. Avery large sum is held in J Jd zi 4 W Barnett do JM Campbell Huntes 10. Attempting to bring odi : Conpleneiie.the form of trust estates for the benefit . contempt upon Comer ey en ant . Ad Soule do P-Cane of widows and orphans under order of the courts. Three hundred millions are held by the National banks as security for their bill holders.” From these statements, which cannot be controyerted, it will be seen that the poor and not the rich are the holders of bends, and that any form of repudiation would fall more heavily upon them.— Every blow aimed at the national credit or designed to break the national pledges is aimed at the industrial classes who hold these bonds in small amounts. It is therefore the height of folly for men to pretend that the rich will only be affected by repudiation.— ‘The national honor cannot be affected . without striking a severe blow against the industrial interests of the country, because the national promises are the only security which laboring men hold for the little earnings which they have laid up as a reward fdr toil. Every man should therefore stand by the party pledged to redeem every obligation of the government. “EpvcaTionat Pianofortes” are advertised. Punch says the most suitable piece for performance on these instructive instruments will be—the March of Iatellect. WE learn from the Appeal that quite a number of Nevada peoplé have.been ~ visiting Marysville lately, Roan ImProvemENtTs.—The Board of Supervisors of Yuba county are taking steps to improve the Nevada road, James E. ENGiiai, over whose elec tion as Governor of Connecticut the Democracy have rendered themselves hoarse to articulation, was burned in effigy during the war for his indorsement of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and general war policy, by bs HoLDERS.~The exemption of United those po: he Sta "e cisco, and we shill have a much larger . ® gang of horse thieves and the vigilanCaLirornia Lanp BuREAU.—There isa proposition afloat to establi#h by voluntary subseription a bureau inthis State, says the Bee, for the purpose of ‘and other sources, the exact amount, quality and location of all lands yet unsettled, and to direct immigrants to cent Territories most suited to their requirements; to obtain and preserve a record Of sales of land ; to note the rise 20d fall in value of real estate, caused by the establishment or relinquishment of industrial enterprises ; and, in fine, by means of correspondence with land owners, to gain the information necessary to enable it to put intending buyers of, land in direct communication with sellers. The State wants just such a bureau, and following it one or two or, ten companies who will purchase lands, hire them on shares to farmers furnishing seed and animals, and if needs be contracting with the occupants for their sale at a fixed price ina certain number of years, We believe such an investment would pay. Tue CuarcEs.—In order that our readers may understand the votes of Senators upon the several counts in the indictment. against Johnson, we give the substance of the charges as follows : 1. Violation of the Constitution and defiance of the Tenure of Office Law b the removal of Secretary Stanton, without consent of the Senate. 2.

WakatT.—The President's annual report to the Chamber of Commerce gives us last year at 14,000,000 bushels, and the number of ships on hand at the corresponding time of the year for its transportation 112. This year he says we have only 96 vessels with those known to be on their way to San Franamount of wheat for export. Lynxcu Law.—The Alpine C&Fonicle states that George H. Berry, formerly a resident of that county, was hanged in Montana lately by a vigilance committee.
