agent of the general government.

lowed us to do so—to have treated matters of
difference as matters of opinion and not of
veracity, but they force upon us the latter view
of the case, and perforce we must draw the
inference, if we prove their statements incorrect, that they are intentionally so.
“George W. Kidd”’ and “ James Whartenby” say :
“We -have never intentionally interferred with the works of the prospectus,
and have no objections to their building as
many Ditches and Canals as they please, but
the aggressions are and have been all on their
side, and until this time we have taken no
notice of them, and but for the increasing pertinacity of the Editor of the Journal would not
do so now.”
This, by their own rule of decision, is falsehood No.1. They and their satelites went
this very season to the very spot where the
survey of the South Yuba Ditch terminated on
the Yuba, with a force of about forty men,
and jumped the position for the dam of the
South Yuba Company. When they were ex:
postulated with for this act of aggression, they
refused to yield the position, and by force held
it against the South Yuba Company, compelling the latter to commence suit to gain their
rights, or to abandon their plan of getting the
water into Omega, &e. Notwithstanding this
most violent act of usurpation, these veracious
men say they have committed no aggressions.
Inference! They cannot deny the fact, for it
is notorious, and it was equally notorious to
them before they took the step, that that was
the location of the other company. Still they
