Nevada County Official Press. “Serene oor poner SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH Ist. oe coer tren a More apour TH": GREENBACKS.—The Union, with ite characteristic want of fair~ ness, in commenting «pon the fact that the ‘ h gold in his possession to contractors, that he might take the greenbacks at listat a depreciated rate to give to the “poor soldiers.” That such was his design is almost confirmed by bis action in bumming-about the Legislature in January, chanting that same ‘poor soldier’ song, at the same ‘time he was paying out to large Government contractors hundredsof thousands in gold, that those contractors had no right to expect in U. 8. Assistant Treasurer had accepted the “balance due from the-State on the war tax _in greenbacks, tokes occasion to put in anoth"er of its mean insinuations sv plentifully used all. glong by that faithless sheet in deal.-ing with the State Treasurer. With croc~ odile tears as big as bullets it speaks of the poer soldiers. being likely to have to take the greenbacks paid in by ‘l'reasurer Ashley, and would endeavor to make thet officer re~ sponsible for the great depreciation in Govs ernment paper. Once more. we have to give -the fnéts, _ though such is the reputation of the Union. Yor meanness that in this county no reply on our partis at all required. Nevada county has' experienced through many years ia many ways the injustice of the: Union, end her citizens know how to appreciate its selfish“ness, vindictiveness and utter meanness. _ ._The facts in, relation to this greenback transaction have Veen often published by us. But theré is still a chance to right another wrong, and we*recur to. the uiatter once again to avail ourselves of it. Greenbacks are selling in San Francisco oS wat-fifty cents onthe dollar. If soldiers are paid in greenbacks at that rate, they will receive but six und a halfdollurs a month, gold being reckoned as the standard. The Union attempts to convey the impression that had the quota of the war tax paid by the State been paid in ‘coin the soldiers would have .,. Fegeived that coin, or would have been paid * “their thirteen dollars a mouth, and that the State Treastrer-is responsible for the reduction of their wages one-half. The Union is ~ not altogether written for by fools, -and~its editors Knuw this impression is wholly wrong and anjust. Fur they are aware that the Treasury Department bad established the Tule last. September that the war.tax collected by the State was payable in Government currency. Mr. Cheeseman knew this, and when the second tender of greenbacks wus to receive them. He ktiew it was his duty. He violated the rule established by the head of his Department. He did not do his daty. What was the effect? The green, backs tendered by Treasurer Ashley at that time were then worth from 80 tv 85 cents in “the market, and had Mr.. Cheeseman receiv~ od them us was his duty todo, the employees of the Government to whom they would have been paid, evuld not have lost at worst more thaa from fifteen to twenty cents on the dolJar, whereas nuw, by Cheeseman’s disabedience of ordera, they tese fifty cents. The presumption of the Union, that had Treasurer Ashley paid.evee-in coin, the poor soldiers. would have reeeived their pay in coin, is afureed one. Itis based on the supposition that Cheeseman is honest, and that there would have been no greeubacks to pay the soldiers ifthe State Tre:surer had not farhished them. Now, the fact is, the General Government disburses on this coast about seven millions of dollars annually. Of this grand sum less than one hall is received from the custom house in the form of.cein, The remainder is received frum other sources—in paper and paid out inthat shape. The addition of a quarter of a uullion, the sum paid by the ‘State, to the four millions of paper from other sources makes no perceptible diflerence. But there is another and stronger point in this case. Is it ot ligdtory an Cheeseman to “pay the soldiers in paper, and pay the three millions in coin to centractors—contractors who putin their bids ata higk figure on the basis of greenbacks? We know not. We know that Cheeseman paid contractors aid holders of claims against the Government in coin, when their demands were pxyable in paper. — We know when it was reported Secretary Chase had ordered him to receive the greenbacks from the State-Treasurer in January, that Mr. Cheeseman paid out large suis in gold, where the greenbacks were expected and ought to have been paid. Why ‘did he “not save the gold for the” poer,sdldiersas he ~ could have done, received the greenbacks and paid them out where they pri perly should have gone? It looks as’ if Cheeses man's. refusal to receive the greenbacks from the State contrary to hisinstructions, it is has that shape. Besides; Mr> Cheeseman had before that time nade the discrimination in . diery in paper! Gen. Wright. when interroJanuary, réceived his own pay~tost!ly in greenbacks, and the soldiers also! ; How affecting the ‘poor soldier” anthem is now! Mr. Cheeseman stands as the im~ maculate friend of the ‘‘poor soldier !” Citizens of California! Let the truth be téld. There are proprietors of large newspapers interested in Government contracts.— 4‘That’s what's the matter.” Tue Pousn Ixsurrection.—It is res ported that the Polish insurrection is a more formidable affair than was at ‘first sup~ posed. What effect itis to hive tpon the Poles themselves, the Russian Empire, Eus rope, and our_gwn country, is yet to be seen. If thaiévult.is promptly suppressed results of not much importance muy be looked tor outside of the immediate participators init. But should it.continue for any: great length of time, it is not impossible that Russia. may experience a shock, Europe may be involved, and ~ finally the whole civilized world present the spectacle of almost uni« versal war. by: _ Ifthe Poles are put down, the . Russian bear cans the ally of the American eagle watch the other powers of Europe, and say, “hands off.” If, on the contrary, revolt in the dominions.of the Czar. ussuine colossal proportions, the Magyars-will be tempted to take up arms agnin, Italy will be in-a fer‘ment, and Russia and all Europe will have business enough at home to prevent them from taking a hand for or against in the great Ainerican struggle. : We, as Americans, occupy a singular posi« tion towards the. Poles and the Russian Goyernment. History teaches the dismembertion of that nation were outrages never to b forgiven. Thelovers, of liberty everywhere have sympathized deeply with Polish misfortunes and execrated the denatfonalizing vandalism, and now that the Poles have taken up arms to recover their ancient rights. itis natural that the sympathies of Americans should be enlisted for them and. their cause. faithfal-friend to the American Government than the “Autocrat of all the Russias.” He i holds a conservative influence for us among the Courts of Europe, for which we cannot but be grateful. -Then, we reason to, that Poland received her wrongs and death-blow from the predecessors ’of Alexander, and that the Poles hase been asavell—if not bet, ter—goyerned undeftie Czara as when the miserable ancient Constitution, requiring.a unanimous voice in the National Diet, to pass any act, extended over Poland. Better, we may say, that the word of one educated ta rule, like the Russian Emperor, should be law, than that no law, but anarchy should exist by the negative of one factious, or traitorous epirit in the supreme national council. Thus we have argumentand interest and feeling te dispose us tofavor either side in the Pohsh insurrection, The best thing we can do is that. which necessity prompts us to do—the troubles. in our own country are enough to comm: nd_a}l our_attention withother countries. has for once found occasion to agree’ with us . worthy of a special ndtice. same fix.
