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.

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

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.
