Another Victory for the Anti-Miners—Judge Walling Transfers the Hedges and Merriam Cases to Yuba County for Trial. In the cases of Hedges and Merriam against the Supervisors of Yuba county and their bondsmen, commenced in the Superior Court of this county, Judge Walling yesterday granted defendants’ motions for a change of ° venue to Yuba county. The suits were brought by tax payers of the minthe Supervisors there from paying out of the treasury of that county large sums of money to the spies watching the hydraulic miners, and for other purposes of the kind, and to recover tothe county from the bondsmen of said Super‘visors the sum of $13,007.08 already appropriated in that manner. The granting of the motion for a change of venue will it is generally believed here result~in Judge Keyser without loss of time raising the injunction on the Supervisors and thus enabling the freespending of tensofthousands of: the money belonging to the Yuba county taxpayers in forcing with increased vigor and bitterness the fight against the miners of the State. The sneaking spies and greedy lawyers will not work without pay, but let them once be assured of receiving it,as they now are,and there is no extremity they will not resort to in carrying onthe crusade which has lagged for some time on account of the pendency of these suits. We may look for the early arrival in this county of an additional force of spies, and for an unrelenting warfare to be revived against our people (the miners) all along the line. The miners have nothing. favorable to expect where Keyser has control. When they enter Ais court, no matter how righteous their cause, how strong their claims, after long exverience it has become as natural forthem to leave all hope at the threshold as it is for them to doff their hats in his judicial presence. Judge Walling is an honest, conlaw without prejudices or bias, as he interprets it. But the knowledge of his ability or fairness does not lessen the force of this, the bowed under. In our next issue we will publish the complete text of the opinion granting the change of venue. To Quiet (Citle.

In the cases of Hedges and Merriam against the Supervisors of Yuba county and their bondsmen, commenced in the Superior Court of this county, Judge Walling yesterday granted defendants’ motions for a change of ° venue to Yuba county. The suits were brought by tax payers of the minthe Supervisors there from paying out of the treasury of that county large sums of money to the spies watching the hydraulic miners, and for other purposes of the kind, and to recover tothe county from the bondsmen of said Super‘visors the sum of $13,007.08 already appropriated in that manner. The granting of the motion for a change of venue will it is generally believed here result~in Judge Keyser without loss of time raising the injunction on the Supervisors and thus enabling the freespending of tensofthousands of: the money belonging to the Yuba county taxpayers in forcing with increased vigor and bitterness the fight against the miners of the State. The sneaking spies and greedy lawyers will not work without pay, but let them once be assured of receiving it,as they now are,and there is no extremity they will not resort to in carrying onthe crusade which has lagged for some time on account of the pendency of these suits. We may look for the early arrival in this county of an additional force of spies, and for an unrelenting warfare to be revived against our people (the miners) all along the line. The miners have nothing. favorable to expect where Keyser has control. When they enter Ais court, no matter how righteous their cause, how strong their claims, after long exverience it has become as natural forthem to leave all hope at the threshold as it is for them to doff their hats in his judicial presence. Judge Walling is an honest, conlaw without prejudices or bias, as he interprets it. But the knowledge of his ability or fairness does not lessen the force of this, the bowed under. In our next issue we will publish the complete text of the opinion granting the change of venue. To Quiet (Citle.
