Monday, Judge John Caldwell, of the County Court, rended his decision in the ease of Mary A. Hill,. exeeutrix of the last will and testament of William Hill, deceased, vs. Archibald Coe.-When the matter came up for hearing on the*12th instant, it was submitted on the agreed statement of facts, which was‘to the following effect. : : May 5th, 1871, William Hill leasel to defendant that piece of prope?ty on the Red Dog road a short distance east of this-city—known—at the present time as.the Coe Ranch. The lease was made for the term of nine-months for the. sum of $360. Ever since that time, until now, Coe had occupied the property. In July, 1878, Hill died, and letters testamentary were issued te his wife. There.was due from Coe to the ewner of the ranch, at the time of commencement of the action, the sunt of $1800 for rent. On the 23d of last’ March the plaintiff made a written demand for this amount, but the defendant refused to pay it, or surrender the possession of the premIses. Geo, 8S. Hupp, Esq., counsel for the deféndant, claimed that upon the agreed facts the plaintiff was not entitled to recover; that the complaint .there are hairs on Kearney’s head.— _relief from. the curse of land monopaly ! The* notorions Doctor Glenn'). acres acres, are in favor of .the new instrutionstouches the mining interests: «irectly, And the new Constitution: docs all of that. It practically eonfiscates water rights; it assumes to dictate what kind of labor. corporations shall employ, and imposes various restrictions that are idle, useless, unjust and tyranical. If the new Constitution should . carry, meee SA would disincorporate and . many “hundreds of enterprises throughout the miningsections would be stopped. There-is no use in denying the prop. osition that-mining is risky enough . when men have the privilege of. in. vesting and expendiiig. their money to suit themselves, and “that men . who are furnishing means te conduct . mining operation should be permit} tel to manage their own affairs, . For these reasons we say that the f adoption of the new, Constitution . -there-is-nodopbt he would have been . did -notstate facts sufficient to con; j } stitute a cause for action. He drgued that at the expiration of the term named ii the lease, anew term commenced,and that each year thereafter eoustituted a term; and that the last term commenced Nov. 5th, 1878, aud it appeared that the notice to sttrrender the possession “was served on the defendant more. than sixty days after the commencement of the last term. That therefore under section 1161 of the Codeof Civil Procedure tke defendant was entitled to hold-said premises for the term of: one year from.Nov. 5th, 1878. Judge Caldwell in giving his decision gaid that ‘Sf this. statute had been in force at the expiration of the tern named in the leasejand the defendant had held over after the demised terin; and for more than 60 days thereafter, without such notice, ‘ee legally entitled te hold the premisés -. he was unquestionably a tuner. That Fraudulent Piane Tuner. Epvrré& Transcrapt : I notice in your last issue of the TRaNscRIPT an article relating to a satural born fraud, “die, W. H. Bawsdill, alias. Walter Clifford, who has been duping the people of Nevada City as-adTitirably as he did the people of this city. and Carson ; and as.he bas done undéubtedly in every part of > the His plan here was somewhat different we understand, from what it. seems it was with you folwa. Here he used cards with our firm name and city as reference, our ‘country he has ever ‘visited. address on and friends and patrons thought of course He tuned many. of the very best pianos in town, or rather spoiled any and all he could get fris hands on. The injury he has done to us here is -being felt daily in our business, and it will take a long time to counteract the evil influence he has exerted through bis false representations. — Weare very sorry the pianos in Nevada City have been made to suffer from his contaminating touch. There are several'parties here who sympathize with the gentleman who ownerl the shirt, and who would wil. lingly wive a good round sum to have been in the xoom. with him ; and they do not own pianos either.

Gans of San Franciseo, and Dr. Martin of Dutch Flat, on the pros-and cons of the new Constitution, announced heretofore, took place last Sanday, and the Doctor, our correspondent informs us, was sadly out-argued—. especially on the articles about taxation and education. . Upon, failing to hold in the agreed upon programme to discuss. the “question on its intrinsic :nerits, he was~ floored . completely with an allusion to the strange spectacle of seeitig those, who not long ago with their whole kit ‘and family, accepted ‘‘from mo. nopolies gratuitous champagne excur. sions,” now denouncing everybody and everything opposed to the new Constitution as. paid by their whilom host.

Yu have, im the fairness of your manly candor, thrown open the columns of your valuable paper for the discussion of an important isswé, that both sides may have a hearing. For, such a course your_paper is held in high esteem, although opposed to the ratification of the new Coustitution. Now “iti-does ‘seem that “when a pen an article, whether it be for or against _the proposed Constitution, they should try to present the truth in all fairness, and evade giving us insinuations by stating they are native born; for I hold that there is no honor conferred upon any individual born in any particular place when he . or she was not consulted prior to ex-\ istence concerning the place of nativity. , It seems the queation should be; are we loyal citizens? Now g° back from the jubilant rejoicing when some of those possessing journalistic fame proclaimed a joyful song in the victory achieved by the Non-partisans . over the Workingmen by . sending members to that Convention, .and then say it is a sand lot affair when the majority was not from. that. sec; tion of the beautiful world. . Why is it the most wealthy -are—howling _when they ‘say that the present tax payer will have to pay the tax in the future, the: fact — that the lender will raise,the rates of infrom terest on money loaned? Then to the lender it’s neither injurious or beneficial. I suppose it is the amount of philantbrophy dwelling within their vitals for the brotherhood. ‘They tell us also there will be three times as much tax in the Constitution. Such an asseytif~n is nonsense of the silliest kind, Doesn’t the State levy so much tax to defray the-expenses ? new The amount fer Nevada county 1s $1.90 on the hundred, and this much is paid. How canit be worse if we have to pay it in the shape of higher interest? Now the fact is, capital is in opposition-te—its—adoption that they may escape taxation. Come now; if you have been for$nnate enough to accumulate two'or three: hundred.thousand dollars, don’t say you cannot stand the pressure of taxes, but pay it likemen. Some enter the plea tbat it will. drive capital from the State. Don't believe it, for as Californians we believe in adding tietd to tield. We don’t want to lose our neighbors, whereas 1t would give stfangers a fine field to invest their mcney and:double their interrest. Others protest because it will . ruin the mining ititerest of the State: To this as well as other éhings, there are two sides.

This is his security. The officer in the course of time appropriates the money to his own use or some other illegal manner, the bank goes up the spout, the creditor seeks _redress, and the best He can do is to take fifty cents on’the'dollar,and very foften less than that. ls there ! to be no reform? There should be. ; What good has been that board of Probably they haven't is good reason that the merchant as weil as the widow should lose conti(lence therefore. The surplus stamped coin is. buried, whereas if the . board of directors had been respénei. ble to the people, and the’ officer in charge to the directors, neither the people would have beep injured, but the defaulter himself and that at h:s. own expense. It is no more than right that an officer of. an institution of the kind should give bonds as well as tue county officer. We cannot:do without the people’s money, and they produce plenty when secured. Tt the board of directors are responsible they will select responsible men torun the institution, such as a manager of a mine, and not ‘send a man because he is a pet of the hoard and probably knows no more about mining than does an old cow about Sunday, gSueh may-do for an assessment mine, ‘but not forone that has to produce her own coin, In teference to home mines, look again to the Providence and notice the. wise choice that company made in seeuring the services of Joseph.

Yu have, im the fairness of your manly candor, thrown open the columns of your valuable paper for the discussion of an important isswé, that both sides may have a hearing. For, such a course your_paper is held in high esteem, although opposed to the ratification of the new Coustitution. Now “iti-does ‘seem that “when a pen an article, whether it be for or against _the proposed Constitution, they should try to present the truth in all fairness, and evade giving us insinuations by stating they are native born; for I hold that there is no honor conferred upon any individual born in any particular place when he . or she was not consulted prior to ex-\ istence concerning the place of nativity. , It seems the queation should be; are we loyal citizens? Now g° back from the jubilant rejoicing when some of those possessing journalistic fame proclaimed a joyful song in the victory achieved by the Non-partisans . over the Workingmen by . sending members to that Convention, .and then say it is a sand lot affair when the majority was not from. that. sec; tion of the beautiful world. . Why is it the most wealthy -are—howling _when they ‘say that the present tax payer will have to pay the tax in the future, the: fact — that the lender will raise,the rates of infrom terest on money loaned? Then to the lender it’s neither injurious or beneficial. I suppose it is the amount of philantbrophy dwelling within their vitals for the brotherhood. ‘They tell us also there will be three times as much tax in the Constitution. Such an asseytif~n is nonsense of the silliest kind, Doesn’t the State levy so much tax to defray the-expenses ? new The amount fer Nevada county 1s $1.90 on the hundred, and this much is paid. How canit be worse if we have to pay it in the shape of higher interest? Now the fact is, capital is in opposition-te—its—adoption that they may escape taxation. Come now; if you have been for$nnate enough to accumulate two'or three: hundred.thousand dollars, don’t say you cannot stand the pressure of taxes, but pay it likemen. Some enter the plea tbat it will. drive capital from the State. Don't believe it, for as Californians we believe in adding tietd to tield. We don’t want to lose our neighbors, whereas 1t would give stfangers a fine field to invest their mcney and:double their interrest. Others protest because it will . ruin the mining ititerest of the State: To this as well as other éhings, there are two sides.

This is his security. The officer in the course of time appropriates the money to his own use or some other illegal manner, the bank goes up the spout, the creditor seeks _redress, and the best He can do is to take fifty cents on’the'dollar,and very foften less than that. ls there ! to be no reform?

The surplus stamped coin is. buried, whereas if the . board of directors had been respénei. ble to the people, and the’ officer in charge to the directors, neither the people would have beep injured, but the defaulter himself and that at h:s. own expense. It is no more than right that an officer of. an institution of the kind should give bonds as well as tue county officer. We cannot:do without the people’s money, and they produce plenty when secured. Tt the board of directors are responsible they will select responsible men torun the institution, such as a manager of a mine, and not ‘send a man because he is a pet of the hoard and probably knows no more about mining than does an old cow about Sunday, gSueh may-do for an assessment mine, ‘but not forone that has to produce her own coin, In teference to home mines, look again to the Providence and notice the. wise choice that company made in seeuring the services of Joseph.
