The Government-has been swindied out of immense amounts by never punished. The Democratic 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 delinquencies being first made publie by Republicans, and in every in_ stance of dishonest practices, the General. and. State Governments, gwamove and punish the offenders. In'the ease of Major Hodge, about ‘been howling so much, he has been tried, and the following is the conelusion of his sentence: To be cashiered, to forfeit all pay and. allowances that may he due him at the date of the promulgation of the sentence, to .-.be.imprisoned at. hard labor for. ten . being mixed years, in such penitentiary as the Ptoper authorities may direct, and thereafter to be imprisoned in such penitentiary until he shall refund to embezzlement—445,406—and that the dished in the newspapers in the city ‘approved by the President, but the ‘The penitentiary at Albany is desigated as the place of confinement. rogues.

It is diffielt to prevent thidving by officials altogether, but it would svon end if thieves ‘canght in office. were everywhere prosecuted with the same promptness and punished asseverely as has been Butler, Hodge and othere caught stealing by Republicans. is it Four or Ten? A question as to the term of office for which Justices of the Supreme ‘Court are elected, will, be raised at the expiration of the term of Justice 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, shall so classify themselves by lot that one Justice shall go out of office @xgeption to the rule in cases of vacaacy by resignation or death, but ‘years.

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 There is_nothing,”’ said Falstaff to 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 and Lamont to the contrary notwithstanding. The Democratic candicompetitors to unnecessary expense and trouble, and we. are sorry that they have been so foolish.

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. A Crry or Wonprrs.—Grass Valley is a city of wonders. Recently a pig. was on exhibition there, which had eight legs, four ears and two tails, being joined together at the lower part of'the hedd;and now we have another woudér in « dotble headed eow.

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.

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.
