NEVADA CITY, CAL. . ,; Friday, Feb. 19, ‘18757 Governor Booth, The Sau Francisco Chronicle advises Governor Booth tu resign his Governorship;and take bis seat in the United States Senate, in case an eXtra session is called. It of is the, opinion that he would break fo pledges by so doing, that although. he-pledged himself to serve out his -fall term as Governor, in case-he was elected to ‘the position, yet by his ‘Mining Prospect.L The present winter has been a~ favorable one for quartz mining, and we believe all the mines of that character have been and ate doing: well. There has been considerable misgivings in reference te hydrauli¢ miving. There las corsiderable water fell during the Winter—the average amount we believe; ‘but the heft of it came at the time of the heavy storm and went in a, flood down to the lower country. But little snow. has been deposited in the ‘moubtaing, all of which has been regarded as unfavorable to a successful mining seasow by most peopile, In a conversation with J. E. Brown, ~~ subsequent election tothe Senate by the popular will, he is honorably relieved from the former pledge. As to the expediency. of his resignation, }sou a very good one, m fact that ‘it agent-efthe South Yuba Canat—€o., we learn that he considers the -seawill equal last year, when a much now that he is entitled to a seat in _ the Senate, we have nothing to say, but as to his being honorably re~ liéved from the solemn pledges nrade . to the people, we demur. In the “4i¥St place his pledge was not that he. would serve out his whole term as Governor if elected, but that he ‘would not be a candidate for the ~ Senta digging his term. That” was) the pledge, and that pledge he has -broken, and no subsequent election ould honorably relieve him fronr it. ~ He was a candidate and labored industriously.to secure his election. It Was not a spoiitaneous wish of. the people that pluced him in: the position, but the result of political wire Working, and a resort to all the dodges known to the politician, “He ean never be honorably acquitted of the chargeof betraying his pledges. We.believe with:the Chronicle, that Lienténant Governor Pacheco is ‘quite competent to fill the~ posi, tion of Governor, and that the interests-of the State would-not suffer in his hands. So the-fact of -whether the Governor resigns. or not, is of but. little importance. In fact we rather favor the move, Let him pass out of the place he solomuly , pledged himself to hold,. and then violated it, and let a man, who has so far fulfilled every pledge made by him, and whose record thtoughoat a .

We can not understand-why property-owners wilFallow-theirtaxes to remain uwnpaid up to the last day, and some of them let their property be sold at auction, when in many cases the costs amount to about twice as much as the tax itself,’ Some: may labor undef the hallucination that they can_evade the tax; but—it is a very foolish idea, for if there is anything cortain in this world, itis the payment of two debts+-death and taxation, Collector Sanford can be found at the Bank of Nevada County to-day, to receive taxes, and ifter ‘that time he will be perched upon a box in front of the Court House, : Kelling the “property of all’ delinquents at public atetion,— ~ ~ More IuMronants;—A let of thir. ~ ty imatigrants,—-from—the Atlantic + States. and Earope,-arrived here. “Tuesday morning. “They. all came . provided with large canvas sacks ‘in which to begin ‘salting down” the trade dollars that they. are to. commence earning on the day they land here, Some of them are quite im“patient to get out fate the bills a mile or two in order te begin breaking masses of solid siver vut of a ~ Tedge of quarta which is unknown to all ofour people, but which they are perfectly familiar with, having. seen it. some hundreds of times—.in dreams.— Virginia.Enterprise, Two handred aud four ‘theusinp pairs ef shoes: have. been manufietured during the year at the Norway (Me.)

The time that the company have to-let in water to their ditches fram their reservoirs, usually averages from ten,to twentyfive diys, whether:the season is dry or wet, Thatis to say a dry Winter ‘makes the mining season that much shorter, AS more than that tinte has been gained the present Winter in consequence of the weather being favorable for work,” Mr. Brown thinks the present season will be a very goodone, ‘The agriculturat interests never looked better; so take it aH: together the year will be a prog: perous one for the State at large.

If Larkin can effect a purchase, and the money will be advanced .te him for this purpose—the parties whom Judge Beatty represents will secure the paper, but if Anthony and.
