We understand that the Democrat-. ie candidate for County Assessor . } stated in public the other night, in front of one of our saloons, that he “intended to make the newspaper editors tell the trath -about him.”’ This would imply that some newspaper man had told an untruth about him. As we are not conscious of having said anything of, or concerning Mr. Dorsey that is not true, the shoe don’t fit. us. Bat as he undoubtediy alluded to an article published by us a few days ago, concerning one of his deputies, we have rea‘sons for believing that he had us in his mind’s eye when he made the bloviating statement. i We.-can tell Mr. Dorsey that there is no necessity for him to cry before heis hurt. He knows well that if we have occasion to say anything about him at all, what we will say will be the truth. We will not. wilfully misrepresent any man, friend _ or foe. Sometimes we may be deceived ourself by ao misrepresentation. of facts, and in consequence give a false statement to our readers, butin every instance where weare made satisfied that we had done so, “we have made the amende honorable. Then-there was no necessity for the threat if it was designed to reach our ears. We fear no manlivieg or dead,and no man can make us do anything we don’t want to do. This Mr. Dorsey knows. Wethinkif J.J. Dorsey had attend_ ed more strictly to his duties, and paid less attention to his own personal affairs, the assessment roll of this county would not be in the fix it now is, Isthat the truth? We ask him to examine section 21 of the revenue law, Hittell’s Digest. page 6,170, and then tell us whether he has performed kis duty. Mr. Dorsey must remember that threats and curses are very much like young chickens, they come home to roost. Where the Money Comes From, Oss Tuovsanp Dotianrs given by Gov. Haight out of his contingent fund to pay for building a monument to Senator Burnett. ‘ Tares Taovsanp Srvern Honprep Doutiaas to Gov.

The presént supply of the Eureka Lake.ana Yuba Canal Commy does not exceed three thousand inches daily. This quantity supplies the whole demand. When we run 4,000 inches, the full capacity of our ditch, we run a thousand inches to waste. Our ditches are in very bad condition and require constant repairing. Nearly all ef the proaeeds derived from the sale of water, is exSiero in. repairs incident thereto. fact, the property is not one half as productive as it, was years ago, Board of Equalization now in session, and asked them to reduce our assessment upon the property. They could not see why they should put us on an eq with the others now. I proved to. them by themost comtent man in this county—Surveyor ey—a-‘man intimate with every our ditches have not the capacity of the Excelsior, nor as good market e of water, and that it costs us more tornn our ditches: than it does the Excelsior. Yet .for he we have paid iii the Shape of taxes about $5,000 per annum and the Excelsior has paid about $1,200. And so it has been on a comparison with For nearly a whole week I have been in attendance before the Board of Equalization endeavoring to -obtaim my rights, I want nothing but strict justice, preferring to suffer a little imposition rather than grumble. But when I am im upon to so great an extent, I feel it my duty to make my grievances known. The result of nearly a week's deliberation by the Board was, they asted magnanim ~by leaving my assessment just as it wus.on the Assessment Roll, to wit, $175,000, and from $45,000 to $90,000, and the Excelsior from $4I,000 to’ $50,000 ; and all this was done after it had been shown that I_ had no advantage over other similar property in the county, and after I had proposed to the Board that I would, at my own expense, establish the relative value of allthe ditches in the vouuty uf any note, and show the difference in the value of each ditch in eomparison. The Board declined the proposition. For years past I have suffered grent imposition in this regard. Of course, Task for nothing but even-handed jastice, and had the Board consented to have gtven me this, I would have said nothing of the imposition of the past. M, 4euuenpaca. Nevada, Aug. 31st. We give place to the foregoing communication, bevause we believe it is right to let the people know what their servants have been doing, and because we believe there is na equality in the assessment against the Excelsior Company and the Eureka Lake Company. We have authority-for stating that the capacity of the Excelsior ditches measures 5,200 inches of water, and is worth as fauch per inch as the water of the Eureka Lake Company, They run water about eight months in the year. The South Yuba Canal rans about 6,000 inches of water for eight months in the year. Its works are as good as those of the Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company, and its management does not cost near so much money as the latter. The present capacity of the Rureka Lake and Yuba Caual Company's ditches measures 3,100 inches of water, and this amount supplies the whole demand. Any greater amount run through the ditches would be run to waste. There is another view to be taken of these asseasments. Are they legal? Are they bimding? Has the Assessor performed his entire duty in the premises, so that the taxes can be forecd from parties if they should refuse to pay? These are questions that it would be well for the Board to take under advisement, as we intend to ventilate them. ia ~~ f-@In 1855 A. B. Dibblo was the prime mover in getting up an organization callel the “North Star,” in which the members pledged themselves. before High Heaven, never to vote for any man for any office, who Er¥gs 8ouTH oF Masoy ann Daxto make . regards the Nemmaim flag matter, ‘Cif it can ‘The The Matter. : esterday, as He represented to the Senate that he had appropriated $3,700 of his speoial contingent fand to pay for the mannfagturing of two silk flags, one for thé State andthe other for the National Capitol. He representéd to Neumann, according to Neumahn’s statements to. the Sacramento Bee, that he advameed the money ont of his own pocket, aad theteby induced Neumann to give him, Gov. Haight, his note for the whole sum advanced, with an understanding that Gov. Haight was to credit him with any amount he, the Governor, could collect in the way of contributions. The Governor. did. collect. $2,000 of Balston and Eldridge and $250 from Seligman & Co.,making in all $2,250. He dlso took the money of the people, amounting to $3,700, and applied it to the payment of this $6,500 subscription, making in all, in the way of donations, the sum of $5,650, leaving only $550-as-the amount of his own subscription, though he told Neumann he had subscribed $1,000. Gov. Haight holds Neumann’s note, payable to himself for $6,500, and admits that Neumaun is entitled to 8 credit on the same in the sam of $2,250, the amount of the subscription of Ralston and Eldridge, and of Seligman and Company. He claims that Neumann owes him just $4,250, as a balance due on the note, though he admits in a message to the Senate that $3,700 was contributed by him to Neumann, out of the Secret Service Fund. If. this ain’t rascality double distilled, then we don’t know what raseality is. Was a poor man to be guilty of such acts, he would soon be nabbed up and hustled off to-San Quentin, there to serve a few yearsin the manufacture of brick to builda Governor’s mansion. But because it is Governor Haight, Democratic candidate for re-election, his crime is to be overlooked. If this ain't a double attempt at swindling, then we don’t know what swindling is, First, Gov. Haight attempts to swindle the State out of $3,700, by representing that he had contributed of the Secret Service Fund that amount for the purchase of silk and the manufacture of the flags, and secondly, he attempted to swindle Neumann by representing to him ¢hat he had contzibuted the money out of his own pocket. Gov. Haight is a nice specimen of a man, truly. ck This swindling intent of his is only only ona par with his violation of the Constitution of the State in approving of the lottery bill, and the perjury he committed in doing that act. Men of California, will you vote . for a self-convicted swindler and perjurer. Out of his own mouth and by his own record do we condemn him. Look out for Rooxrbacks. The Grass Valley Union of yesterday cautions the Republicans to look out for Roarers. It says: As the day of election draws nigh political lies begin to fly around. ‘These late lies are put forth because time will not allow them to be refuted. Your biggest stories always come last. The best way for the voters todo is to make up their opinions on principles and not on the Tumor that this man or that man has not on some occasions done exactly as he should have done, Vote for principles and let the lies go by like the idie winds which you regard not. We thank the Univn for this good advise. We were about indicting an article on the same subject when our eyes fell on this article of the Union, and we clipt it. Republicans, Read This. Hon. Newton Booth, our glorious standard bearer, and Hon. Jas. G. Eastman, will be here on Monday evening, September 4th, and will ‘address the people. On that evening there. will be a grand torchlight proceasion. Every Republican in the county who can leave home should come here on that occasion. The speeches will be tip top, and the’ sights magnificent. Come up every one, and bring with you your wives, your swWeetheafts, your daughters, your bands of music, your flags, banners and torches. Every body is invited to join with us in giving honors to our next Governér, Newton Booth. to wit, $6,500. This.Neumann did, F ‘cause he appéars to think that we have done him an injustice. We have no doubt Mr. King would be highly pleased to seratch off the Poll Listevery Republican name onit, He admits in effect that at Truckee Precinct there are more Republican names onthe Poll List than there are Democrats: ‘Eprron Transcrrpt:—I find that complaints against me as a registering officer, are not a regard = registration, bat to matter o' rocuring transfers from other counties. hat I had said frequently that such was not my business as an officer, but that I did it as accommodation. And the charge was made openly that I would only deceive Repablicans and not procure their transfers. Now I have sent for, obtained, and got upon the Poll List the following Republicans, knowing them to be such, and do claim that it has been only an act of courtesy, and not as an act of official duty: ve ee Getchell, Ruei 8. Barton, G. W. Moore, James Oboz, J. M. Kirkham, T.’ H. Doan, J. A. Dulchid, Wm. Boyce, Geo. Cary, Byrou Pelton, Nich Bedrovich, Wm. J. Prosser, John Gault, Peter Serch, T. L. Preston, J. P. Dusel, D. Allen, making 17 in all. Allthe above were put upon the poll list by me 30 days before election. Judge Sykes was attending to the matter of transfer for the Republicans speeially, and he transferred and placed upon the poll list at the same time the following namés: John Ambrose, J. F. Moody, J. W. Hutchinson, Lewis Curle, A. H. Clarke, Thomas Holmes, P.N. Stephens, 7 names in all, I had taken the name of Mr. Stephens for transfer from Placer county, and before I . got my list made up to send, Judge Sykes sent and got it. It was one of the matters of complaint. I will say as an apringy for that, that in my first start off, I took names for a week before sendiag, so as.to make one weing vent as many transfers as posal e. Since the 7th of August, count. 11 Republican transfers that I have obtained, and shall try to get them on the poll list when the Board goes in session again. Now, Mr. Editor, if parties will agree to it, I will take my whole list of both registration and transfer,and ill go into a room with all the Republicans you can pack in it, I alone asa Democrat, and for every name that they will scratch off they will allow me to scratch one; and I more Republicans than Democrats; for there are too many Republicans on it to please me anyway. se W.A. Kine. Denies It. The Sacramento Democrat, edited by a nephew of Governor Haight, denies that Governor Haight ever styled the Heathen Chinee his -‘eldes brethren,"’ It is the first time we “have ever seen a denial of the statement; and until the denial is made by Governor Haight himself, with good vouchers to back it, we shall con.inue to assert, and believe it too, that Governor Haight did offer the resolutions imputed to. him, containing the identical words quoted. Yeare ago, while we had connection with the Marysville Herald, now defunct, we published those resolutions as emanating from the then Mr. H. H. Haight, now Governor Haight. This was in 1853, before the fellow that now edits the Democrat had shed his pin feathers, or was dry behind the ears. Until now, no man had the hardihood to. make @ @enial of what is an undisputable fact. We are, since Governor Haight has proven himself so unreliable and inconsistent, ready to believe that he will say any thing anddo any thing, it matters not what, if he can only feather his own nest, and add to his immense wealth, Governor Haight Repenting. . \/We learn that Hon. Thos. Findley, in his speech af Grass Valley, the other evening, ssid that Governor Haight: had assured him, that if he was again elected Governor, he would not recommend the repeal of all laws that prohibited the heathen Chinee from giving evidence in’ courts ot justice against white men, as he had done before. This shows up another inconsistency in the very consistent career of our very inconsistent Governor. J Mr. Findley stated in the same speech, our informant says, that he would not vote for one of the nominees on the Democratic’ ticket for the Legislature, unless each and every ons of those nominees would go-to him in person and pledge himself that, if elected, he would devote all of his energies toward the Passing . of laws:to rid the State of the Heathen Chinee. } Governor Haight is on the stool of repentence.

A few days ago, with a great flourish and an air equal to Commodore Blowhard, it announced: to its. readers.that it never made changes that it had not the proof at hand to sustain, and now when pushed to the ‘wall for its proof, it answers in effact: ‘Oh! we have them and could} tion, or why he fixed upon the give them, but prudential reasons prevent us from doing so.” Out upon such childishness. We supposed that we were dealing with high-minded men when we tackled the Gazette, not with children. The truth is, the Gazette could not find any evidence to support: its. assertions, notwithstanding it ramified all over the county in search of the German who saw ten Chinamen at work in Sargent’s minés, dnd hence its crawfishing. Well, we fre content. We have driven it to the wall, and by its failure to produce its. proof, it remains under the imputation of being an unmitigated liar. ‘There we'll let it rest for the time being.

He was advertased to speak at Grass Valley on Wednesday night last, but he failed to connect. His name was undoubtedly only used as a gull to catch Mugginses, and to draw a large assemblage of people. We understand the ‘‘rooster’’ left the State, in disgust with his copperhead brethren, and particularly so with Governor Haight, on aécount of his diabolical, record. He said, so we are told by & gentleman who was a passenger in the stage with him, that he could not stump the State for a man whose record is so inconsistems as Gov) Haight’s. He came up to Grass Valléy on Buesday last, and after visiting the mines left for Colfax the Same day. The ‘‘rooster’’ is smart;. he is. Wants to Luminate, See Yong Hi, and Sam Yee, a ‘couple of Governor Haight’a “elder brethren,” called on us yesterday and requested: us to say that, they brother,’’ Guvelnal Haight was coming, here on Saturday to make o speech they was ‘“‘welly willin to luminate the houses if the Democats would fulnish the candles.’ As the Democlats are in want of “luminators,” here isa chance.” They said they lived on Commercial street. Haight and the Chinese. In 1867 Booth said : Now we have broken down the China. wall, let us mot hasten to erect an anti-China wall nt home.—Gazette. Haight said im 1853, in a resolution offered by him at the conclasion ofa lecture delivered by Rev. Mr. Speer, on China, that they, the Chinese, were ‘‘our elder brethren.” ‘Mere are the resolutions offered by Gov. Haight on that occasion : _ Resolved, That the present position of the Oriental nations is fraught with the most profound interest ty the Christian world, and that we, as citizens of California, placed by the wonderful leadings of Pesan 80 immediately in contact with one of the most ancient, INTELLIGENT and populous of these nations, HALL WITH PECULIAR SATISFACTION THE “SIGNS OF THE TIMES ;” and that we see an imperative obligation to employ our mondy our infinence and utmost efforts for the welfare of that east portion of the human family— FOUR ELDER. 4 BRETHREN 43 — the people of China. ° Resolved, THAT WE REGARD WITH PLEASURE THE PRESENCE OF GREAT NUMBERS OF THESE PEOPLE AMONG US, as affording the best opportunity of doing them good, and through them, of exerting our influence upon their native land.” Unprecepesten Lregraniry—A few days ago a banker of this city, says the San Francisco Aitz, lost a check for $2,000, payable to bearer and indorsed by. the loser’s name.

The result of nearly a week's deliberation by the Board was, they asted magnanim ~by leaving my assessment just as it wus.on the Assessment Roll, to wit, $175,000, and from $45,000 to $90,000, and the Excelsior from $4I,000 to’ $50,000 ; and all this was done after it had been shown that I_ had no advantage over other similar property in the county, and after I had proposed to the Board that I would, at my own expense, establish the relative value of allthe ditches in the vouuty uf any note, and show the difference in the value of each ditch in eomparison. The Board declined the proposition. For years past I have suffered grent imposition in this regard. Of course, Task for nothing but even-handed jastice, and had the Board consented to have gtven me this, I would have said nothing of the imposition of the past. M, 4euuenpaca. Nevada, Aug. 31st. We give place to the foregoing communication, bevause we believe it is right to let the people know what their servants have been doing, and because we believe there is na equality in the assessment against the Excelsior Company and the Eureka Lake Company. We have authority-for stating that the capacity of the Excelsior ditches measures 5,200 inches of water, and is worth as fauch per inch as the water of the Eureka Lake Company, They run water about eight months in the year. The South Yuba Canal rans about 6,000 inches of water for eight months in the year. Its works are as good as those of the Eureka Lake and Yuba Canal Company, and its management does not cost near so much money as the latter. The present capacity of the Rureka Lake and Yuba Caual Company's ditches measures 3,100 inches of water, and this amount supplies the whole demand. Any greater amount run through the ditches would be run to waste. There is another view to be taken of these asseasments. Are they legal? Are they bimding? Has the Assessor performed his entire duty in the premises, so that the taxes can be forecd from parties if they should refuse to pay? These are questions that it would be well for the Board to take under advisement, as we intend to ventilate them. ia ~~ f-@In 1855 A. B. Dibblo was the prime mover in getting up an organization callel the “North Star,” in which the members pledged themselves. before High Heaven, never to vote for any man for any office, who Er¥gs 8ouTH oF Masoy ann Daxto make . regards the Nemmaim flag matter, ‘Cif it can ‘The The Matter. : esterday, as He represented to the Senate that he had appropriated $3,700 of his speoial contingent fand to pay for the mannfagturing of two silk flags, one for thé State andthe other for the National Capitol. He representéd to Neumann, according to Neumahn’s statements to. the Sacramento Bee, that he advameed the money ont of his own pocket, aad theteby induced Neumann to give him, Gov. Haight, his note for the whole sum advanced, with an understanding that Gov. Haight was to credit him with any amount he, the Governor, could collect in the way of contributions. The Governor. did. collect. $2,000 of Balston and Eldridge and $250 from Seligman & Co.,making in all $2,250. He dlso took the money of the people, amounting to $3,700, and applied it to the payment of this $6,500 subscription, making in all, in the way of donations, the sum of $5,650, leaving only $550-as-the amount of his own subscription, though he told Neumann he had subscribed $1,000. Gov. Haight holds Neumann’s note, payable to himself for $6,500, and admits that Neumaun is entitled to 8 credit on the same in the sam of $2,250, the amount of the subscription of Ralston and Eldridge, and of Seligman and Company. He claims that Neumann owes him just $4,250, as a balance due on the note, though he admits in a message to the Senate that $3,700 was contributed by him to Neumann, out of the Secret Service Fund. If. this ain’t rascality double distilled, then we don’t know what raseality is. Was a poor man to be guilty of such acts, he would soon be nabbed up and hustled off to-San Quentin, there to serve a few yearsin the manufacture of brick to builda Governor’s mansion. But because it is Governor Haight, Democratic candidate for re-election, his crime is to be overlooked. If this ain't a double attempt at swindling, then we don’t know what swindling is, First, Gov. Haight attempts to swindle the State out of $3,700, by representing that he had contributed of the Secret Service Fund that amount for the purchase of silk and the manufacture of the flags, and secondly, he attempted to swindle Neumann by representing to him ¢hat he had contzibuted the money out of his own pocket. Gov. Haight is a nice specimen of a man, truly. ck This swindling intent of his is only only ona par with his violation of the Constitution of the State in approving of the lottery bill, and the perjury he committed in doing that act. Men of California, will you vote . for a self-convicted swindler and perjurer. Out of his own mouth and by his own record do we condemn him. Look out for Rooxrbacks. The Grass Valley Union of yesterday cautions the Republicans to look out for Roarers. It says: As the day of election draws nigh political lies begin to fly around. ‘These late lies are put forth because time will not allow them to be refuted. Your biggest stories always come last. The best way for the voters todo is to make up their opinions on principles and not on the Tumor that this man or that man has not on some occasions done exactly as he should have done, Vote for principles and let the lies go by like the idie winds which you regard not. We thank the Univn for this good advise. We were about indicting an article on the same subject when our eyes fell on this article of the Union, and we clipt it. Republicans, Read This. Hon. Newton Booth, our glorious standard bearer, and Hon. Jas. G. Eastman, will be here on Monday evening, September 4th, and will ‘address the people. On that evening there. will be a grand torchlight proceasion. Every Republican in the county who can leave home should come here on that occasion. The speeches will be tip top, and the’ sights magnificent. Come up every one, and bring with you your wives, your swWeetheafts, your daughters, your bands of music, your flags, banners and torches. Every body is invited to join with us in giving honors to our next Governér, Newton Booth. to wit, $6,500. This.Neumann did, F ‘cause he appéars to think that we have done him an injustice. We have no doubt Mr. King would be highly pleased to seratch off the Poll Listevery Republican name onit, He admits in effect that at Truckee Precinct there are more Republican names onthe Poll List than there are Democrats: ‘Eprron Transcrrpt:—I find that complaints against me as a registering officer, are not a regard = registration, bat to matter o' rocuring transfers from other counties. hat I had said frequently that such was not my business as an officer, but that I did it as accommodation. And the charge was made openly that I would only deceive Repablicans and not procure their transfers.

Allen, making 17 in all. Allthe above were put upon the poll list by me 30 days before election. Judge Sykes was attending to the matter of transfer for the Republicans speeially, and he transferred and placed upon the poll list at the same time the following namés: John Ambrose, J. F. Moody, J. W. Hutchinson, Lewis Curle, A. H. Clarke, Thomas Holmes, P.N. Stephens, 7 names in all, I had taken the name of Mr. Stephens for transfer from Placer county, and before I . got my list made up to send, Judge Sykes sent and got it. It was one of the matters of complaint. I will say as an apringy for that, that in my first start off, I took names for a week before sendiag, so as.to make one weing vent as many transfers as posal e. Since the 7th of August, count. 11 Republican transfers that I have obtained, and shall try to get them on the poll list when the Board goes in session again. Now, Mr. Editor, if parties will agree to it, I will take my whole list of both registration and transfer,and ill go into a room with all the Republicans you can pack in it, I alone asa Democrat, and for every name

that they will scratch off they will allow me to scratch one; and I more Republicans than Democrats; for there are too many Republicans on it to please me anyway. se W.A. Kine. Denies It. The Sacramento Democrat, edited by a nephew of Governor Haight, denies that Governor Haight ever styled the Heathen Chinee his -‘eldes brethren,"’ It is the first time we “have ever seen a denial of the statement; and until the denial is made by Governor Haight himself, with good vouchers to back it, we shall con.inue to assert, and believe it too, that Governor Haight did offer the resolutions imputed to. him, containing the identical words quoted. Yeare ago, while we had connection with the Marysville Herald, now defunct, we published those resolutions as emanating from the then Mr. H. H. Haight, now Governor Haight. This was in 1853, before the fellow that now edits the Democrat had shed his pin feathers, or was dry behind the ears. Until now, no man had the hardihood to. make @ @enial of what is an undisputable fact. We are, since Governor Haight has proven himself so unreliable and inconsistent, ready to believe that he will say any thing anddo any thing, it matters not what, if he can only feather his own nest, and add to his immense wealth, Governor Haight Repenting. . \/We learn that Hon. Thos. Findley, in his speech af Grass Valley, the other evening, ssid that Governor Haight: had assured him, that if he was again elected Governor, he would not recommend the repeal of all laws that prohibited the heathen Chinee from giving evidence in’ courts ot justice against white men, as he had done before. This shows up another inconsistency in the very consistent career of our very inconsistent Governor. J Mr. Findley stated in the same speech, our informant says, that he would not vote for one of the nominees on the Democratic’ ticket for the Legislature, unless each and every ons of those nominees would go-to him in person and pledge himself that, if elected, he would devote all of his energies toward the Passing . of laws:to rid the State of the Heathen Chinee. } Governor Haight is on the stool of repentence.

We supposed that we were dealing with high-minded men when we tackled the Gazette, not with children.

He was advertased to speak at Grass Valley on Wednesday night last, but he failed to connect. His name was undoubtedly only used as a gull to catch Mugginses, and to draw a large assemblage of people. We understand the ‘‘rooster’’ left the State, in disgust with his copperhead brethren, and particularly so with Governor Haight, on aécount of his diabolical, record. He said, so we are told by & gentleman who was a passenger in the stage with him, that he could not stump the State for a man whose record is so inconsistems as Gov) Haight’s. He came up to Grass Valléy on Buesday last, and after visiting the mines left for Colfax the Same day. The ‘‘rooster’’ is smart;. he is.
