The Government-has been swindied out of immense amounts by

Some instances have occurred where
but most of them are
Johnson's appointees, many of them
exténding back to the term of Johnon as President. They have been
ferreted out by the officers under
Grant, and all such are being prosecuted. The difference is that while
the Republicans’go after the thieves
who happen to get into office, the
Democratic leaders attempt to hide
or deny the roguery of their party
friends, During the last year one
‘Governor was impeached and removed, from office by Republicans, his

A question as to the term of office

Orockett, January 1874, he being, as
was understood, elected for the short
er unexpired term. But from the
reading of the Constitution of the
State it appears that there is no short
term, but each Justice is elected for
a full term of ten years. Section 3
of Article 6 provides for the’ time of
the election of Justices and the term
is fixed in the following language
¢ “*The Justices shall hold their offices
"for the term of fen years from the first
day of January next after their election except. those elected at the first
élection, who, attheir first meeting,

‘The Vallejo Recorder says: The
Democracy in this county have struck
it rich—if they cannot win elections
they can contest them. Creed Haymond tells them that they can secure
offices, even if the people fail to elect
them; Bill Stratton says ditto; and
Geo. Lamont, who does not like the
version of Wendell’s plug hat coming into the room which has been
hallowed by the presence of so many
delinquent tax payers and expert
seven-upists, re-echoes the opinions
of his professional brethren from

Prince Hal, ‘‘like dicing gracefully,”
but our Kuklux friends evidently are
not gifted in the accomplishment.
‘The point to be determined will. be
the validity of what are erroneously
termed ‘‘the pasteboard tickets,”* and
of the result there is no doubt, The
tickets are as legal as any that were
voted—Messrs. Haymond, Stratton

Tur Frmsr Surr.—A ship from
China, loaded with tea, has srrived
at Oakland wharf, about three miles
from town, and the News goes into
eestacies,in an article headed ‘‘Opening of Oakland Commerce.” The
News says: Day before yesterday, a
North German ship came in from
China, with a cargo of tea, and bore
her way majestically past ‘‘Yerba
Buena Cove,"’ and cast anchor at the
Oakland wharf. She was laden with
tea chiefly for ‘the Atlantic markets,
and that small portion of her cargo
which was consigned to San Francisco, was taken out and transported
across the bay in lighters.

Ditch Improvements.
The South Yuba Canal Company
have recently repaired and improved
all the ditches in Nevada and Placer
counties. In this work the company
has expended in the neighborhood of
$30,000. For several months past
150 men have been employed upon
these works. At the head of ‘the
ditch. where the boxes have heretofore frequently washed out in heavy di
winters, a shelf has been cut under
the granite bluff, and the flume :so
securely put in that there is little
danger of its being washed out in the
future. A new flumie, leading out of
Bear Valley has been rebuilt fora
miles of flume have been repaired.
The ditches and flumes are now in
better shape than they have ever
been. ”
Our table to-day contains the vete
of all the preincts in the county, except Cherokee, @olambia Hill, Carlisle, Mooney Flat and the Anthony
House. These will not materially
change the result.

Iris reported that Horace Greeley
‘has got into a muss with a Texas editor. It appears that in an agriculcultural essay on tobacco Mr. Greeley asserts that fine cut will not ripen
well unless the tin foil is stripped
from the growing buds early in the
Spring, and that plug tobacco ought
to be knocked off the trees with clubs
instead of being picked by hand.
