On Saturday night last the fire bells at North San Juan sounded an alarm which had the effect of bring. ing everybody in town into the streets.

Ever since the Credit Mobilier frauds Were exposed, the newspapers havebeen: filled with reports concerning the »peeulations, not to say thievery, of men“in office, Men who but a few years ago stood fair before the world for honesty and integrity, are now under the ban of suspicion; as for instance, Sheriff Adams of San’ Francisco and Mr. Baebr, the State Treasurer of this . State: Ouly 8 a_little more than two years ago thé Bulletin and Call, of San Francisco were loud in praise of Mr. Adams, then a.candidate for Sheriff. In their estimation, Mr. Adams was the ne plus ultra of an honest and high minded gentleman. Now, presto, change; according to the Bulletin, Adine’ is corrupt. Only.a few days ago, Wwe redd in the Bulletin a long list of charges against Sheriff Adams,among which-was one alleging that he retained in his possession alarge-amount of money that should be paid, into the county treasury. Another charge is, that Be retained money. from his deputies; and another that he had assessed the attaches.of his office a large amount of nioney to pay parties for lobbying a bill through -the Legislature for the benefit of himself and former Sheriff, P. J. White. Before Mr. Adams Lecame an office holder, accorning to the Bulletin, he was an honest citizen As soon as he obtained office his position changed, and he became corrupt. Ss Take the case of Mr. Behe; the State Treasurer. Only a little more than two years ago the Republican newspapers of this State, from one end to the other, the Transcripr with the present editor among them, exhausted the English language in the way of praising the honesty and integrity of the gentleman, ‘now in question. Only afew days age we réad in the Sacramento Union, the history of a suit which had been commenced against._Mr. Baehr by one of the attaches of his office, to recover monies alleged to have been retained by Mr. Baehr from the salpary of the plaintiff.-.The plaintiff alleged that Mr, Baehr drew from the State Treasury's certain amount of money to pay bis salary, and. retained nearly fifty per cent. of the amount, It is true, Mr. Baehr gota judgment for costs against the plaintiff, but there are those who are uncharitable é¢pough to think that ‘there was more truth than poetry in the charge. Even our Excellent Governor is charged with the offense of approving a bill as Governor, which had the effect ‘of, increasing his salary $1,000 per year. The opponents of the Governor: that: make this charge, allege that the Governor approved.the bill knowing that -he was violating the Constitution of . the State, which says, the salary of the Governor shall not be“ increased nor diminished during his term of The friends of the Goverhor say that the sum of $1,000 which he receives extra is not an increase of salary as Governer, but it is allowed himas a member of the State Board of Examiners. We are not of those who believe Governor ‘Booth to be a corrapt mah. If*he 7erred in signing the bill, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. The section fixing the salary of the Board of Examiners is in one ofthe Codes. Governor Buoth being desirous that the Codes should be as accurate as possible, appointtalent in the State, to examine them and to make such corrections as might be deemed necessary. Those fgentlemen did exatmine the Codes and made a report to the Governor advising his approvance of them. Acting: ‘under their. advice he approved the bills and the Codes became-inw.~ If these legal gentlemen had not discovered that one of the} in direct ‘violation’ of a pirt -of the Constitution, we do net see why Governor Booth pe + ue blamed for not ‘making the that mcr, Sh ar of the tute . . lature enbeha ‘Bot be hee: at ‘. store and found ed three’ legal gentlemen, the best: Codes Sonthined a'section that was] ingthe billy If Gov.

If we were satisfied that he signed and approved . theCodes knowing that he. was violating the Constitution in so doiug, we wonld dénounce him as fiercely as we would any other man that is known to be. guilty’ of perjury. Our motto, jis ‘Jet justice be done though the Heavens fall, ‘ Are all men dishonest? We cannot think.so. “We know. that -men fiave been charged. with selling themselves to the Central Pucific Railroad Company, thit. never received the sixteenth part of a cent from that company; either in money or money’ 8 worth, and yet because these men do not denounce Stanford & Co. with vociferous voice, they are denounced as Stanford’s hirelings, When-men.are guilty of crime we will be ready to condemn them When . we know it.

We learn that the Illinois. “Gompany, at Moores Flat, met with quite an faceident a few days ago which will retard their mining operations awhile. They had an extensive cave which unfortunately injured one of their monitors. They anticipate commencing operations again in a day or two. It is their intention to run about three weeks longer and then clean up. Look out for big dividends, “Joseph Ollson, Esq , has the management of these elaims. . The Blue Bank .Co., under’ the nianagement of James Reddington, . * Esq., are doing splendid work. This company clean up everything as they go along, and the bed rock that has been worked is as clean asa house floor. -This-is said to be one of the best worked claims in the county. Thé Boston Company, under the Management of' John Brooks, an ‘old and expefienced miner are driving their tuunel ahead pretty rapidly and are making money besides. A Good, Gouk,” A gentleman who lives not many miles from this office, receives on Saturday’s a roll of butter, which is . left for him at Holbrook’s store, oppoite the Confederate X Roads sa-. loon, kept by that terrible ‘‘goaker’ . P? 2024 Ike Loyd. . On Saturday lust the usual roll of butter was left, but it being a busy day with its owner he failed to call for it, and by so doing lost his butter. It appears that after Holbrook bad closed his store another gentlemaa went to his establishment for the purpose of obtaining . MEY butter. Finding the door locked he went to Loyd’s to make inquiry,tell. . ing the latter of,his wants, SER said Ike, never mind, ‘I have keys here that —will unlock every business plaee in town; I will get it for you,” and suiting his action with his words [. he took a key and started for Holbroek’s store. “He-was not long in securing an entrance, and finding the butter left for the gentleman first spoken of, sold it, taking in exchange aone dollar greenback bill, which bill Ike left lie on the counter, covering it with a bag of shot. Yesterday {morning Holbrook opened his the greenback. Later in*the-day the owner of the butter called sor it, but it was non est. learning the facts he swappel the greenback for ceffee, paying the d.ffsrence between o.d and greenbacks in coin. He''says he is out five centson the trade. Ike says he intends to send below for a five cent gold no'e and pay him. Road Contrac:s. On Saturday last John McCoy, . Esq., Road Commissioner of the 4th .

State: Ouly 8 a_little more than two years ago thé Bulletin and Call, of San Francisco were loud in praise of Mr. Adams, then a.candidate for Sheriff.. In their estimation, Mr. Adams was the ne plus ultra of an honest and high minded gentleman. Now, presto, change; according to the Bulletin, Adine’ is corrupt. Only.a few days ago, Wwe redd in the Bulletin a long list of charges against Sheriff Adams,among which-was one alleging that he retained in his possession alarge-amount of money that should be paid, into the county treasury. Another charge is, that Be retained money. from his deputies; and another that he had assessed the attaches.of his office a large amount of nioney to pay parties for lobbying a bill through -the Legislature for the benefit of himself and former Sheriff, P. J. White. Before Mr. Adams Lecame an office holder, accorning to the Bulletin, he was an honest citizen As soon as he obtained office his position changed, and he became corrupt. Ss Take the case of Mr. Behe; the State Treasurer. Only a little more than two years ago the Republican newspapers of this State, from one end to the other, the Transcripr with the present editor among them, exhausted the English language in the way of praising the honesty and integrity of the gentleman, ‘now in question. Only afew days age we réad in the Sacramento Union, the history of a suit which had been commenced against._Mr. Baehr by one of the attaches of his office, to recover monies alleged to have been retained by Mr. Baehr from the salpary of the plaintiff.-.The plaintiff alleged that Mr, Baehr drew from the State Treasury's certain amount of money to pay bis salary, and. retained nearly fifty per cent. of the amount, It is true, Mr. Baehr gota judgment for costs against the plaintiff, but there are those who are uncharitable é¢pough to think that ‘there was more truth than poetry in the charge. Even our Excellent Governor is charged with the offense of approving a bill as Governor, which had the effect ‘of, increasing his salary $1,000 per year. The opponents of the Governor: that: make this charge, allege that the Governor approved.the bill knowing that -he was violating the Constitution of . the State, which says, the salary of the Governor shall not be“ increased nor diminished during his term of The friends of the Goverhor say that the sum of $1,000 which he receives extra is not an increase of salary as Governer, but it is allowed himas a member of the State Board of Examiners. We are not of those who believe Governor ‘Booth to be a corrapt mah. If*he 7erred in signing the bill, it was an error of the head and not of the heart. The section fixing the salary of the Board of Examiners is in one ofthe Codes. Governor Buoth being desirous that the Codes should be as accurate as possible, appointtalent in the State, to examine them and to make such corrections as might be deemed necessary. Those fgentlemen did exatmine the Codes and made a report to the Governor advising his approvance of them. Acting: ‘under their. advice he approved the bills and the Codes became-inw.~ If these legal gentlemen had not discovered that one of the} in direct ‘violation’ of a pirt -of the Constitution, we do net see why Governor Booth pe + ue blamed for not ‘making the that mcr, Sh ar of the tute . . lature enbeha ‘Bot be hee: at ‘. store and found ed three’ legal gentlemen, the best: Codes Sonthined a'section that was] ingthe billy If Gov.

If we were satisfied that he signed and approved . theCodes knowing that he. was violating the Constitution in so doiug, we wonld dénounce him as fiercely as we would any other man that is known to be. guilty’ of perjury. Our motto, jis ‘Jet justice be done though the Heavens fall, ‘ Are all men dishonest? We cannot think.so. “We know. that -men fiave been charged. with selling themselves to the Central Pucific Railroad Company, thit. never received the sixteenth part of a cent from that company; either in money or money’ 8 worth, and yet because these men do not denounce Stanford & Co. with vociferous voice, they are denounced as Stanford’s hirelings, When-men.are guilty of crime we will be ready to condemn them When . we know it.

A Good, Gouk,” A gentleman who lives not many miles from this office, receives on Saturday’s a roll of butter, which is . left for him at Holbrook’s store, oppoite the Confederate X Roads sa-. loon, kept by that terrible ‘‘goaker’ . P? 2024 Ike Loyd. . On Saturday lust the usual roll of butter was left, but it being a busy day with its owner he failed to call for it, and by so doing lost his butter. It appears that after Holbrook bad closed his store another gentlemaa went to his establishment for the purpose of obtaining . MEY butter. Finding the door locked he went to Loyd’s to make inquiry,tell. . ing the latter of,his wants, SER said Ike, never mind, ‘I have keys here that —will unlock every business plaee in town; I will get it for you,” and suiting his action with his words [. he took a key and started for Holbroek’s store. “He-was not long in securing an entrance, and finding the butter left for the gentleman first spoken of, sold it, taking in exchange aone dollar greenback bill, which bill Ike left lie on the counter, covering it with a bag of shot. Yesterday {morning Holbrook opened his the greenback. Later in*the-day the owner of the butter called sor it, but it was non est. learning the facts he swappel the greenback for ceffee, paying the d.ffsrence between o.d and greenbacks in coin. He''says he is out five centson the trade. Ike says he intends to send below for a five cent gold no'e and pay him. Road Contrac:s. On Saturday last John McCoy, . Esq., Road Commissioner of the 4th .
