in Corsrnmeat, State, municipal

end taxation i* becoming no burdensome,
that people are becoming frightened.?
Thev are being aroused to the conviction
tlvat it ia neceetary to protect their prop*

influence. There has been a considerable
influx of blacks into that State, and they
no more wish the blacks to role there
than they intend that the Coolies aad
Chinamen sha'l participate in the government
in California. The question of races
has settled the election there. It will
have its effect in other States."

in Un'on County last week between the
Sheriff and parlies who resisted his authority.
