The ‘immigration bill how } should not.be.paid.—Sac. Record. to it necessary argc that. the: St pdebt shold'not be -paid, ie a® argument against the scheme.” If the TRANSCRIPT refers to. our proposition in regard to the State debt we can only say that its remark contains a most unjustifiable misstatement of the facts. We never argued that the State deht, The Record, puts ona shoe we. did not intend for it. We were not'aware that paper was the only advocate of the as one which no Leyislature would be reckless enough to pass. It bears its . death warrant on ite face. It is quite providential that sieh a wrong as itis} the object of the Immigtation Union to accomplish,-should be supported_bya bill so palpably objectionable, and it would be well for society if every fraud were supported by means so. well caleu. grant Union in San Franeiseo,-where measure, or that it was “one of tlie men reference-to the meeting of the. Immi‘the bilt-was-discussed by Hopkins; Beit} and others. ‘These are the men that ‘are nursing the bill, and. in that discussion one of the speakers ‘advocated an extension of time for the payment of the State debt in order that $300,000 . rattle on the snake’s tail that warns you, to avoid the poison of its fangs. Mr. Hopkins’ “Common Sense”-pamphlet reminds us of the’saying of Voltaire that “common sense is the most uncommon of all the senses.” A scheme for the. importation of a class of people it is -cbiefly such that the pamphlet plates,). may perhaps bedisinterested, but it isnot wise. Itis unjust to the immigrant, while, with regard’ to the State it is impohtic. -The man who, after paying expenses from Europe, lands in California with . sofficient means to pay an instalment on a farm, to purchase horses and implements, to erect and furnish a cabin and to procure seed, feed and provisions for one’ year, is already a man of independent means: He does not need to emigrate, and cannot better himself by doing so. Asa rule he does not himself -work.; and we don’t want men unaccustomed to work. He usually employs from six to twenty men on his farm; and in California, years of wil must pass-before he can afford te-hire a single man. He enjoys a certain social consideration,and even a dignified ease at home ; here social consideration does not exist, and ease cannot be had withont starvation. The man who could bring to California sufficient funds to be an object to any land speculator, is comparatively rich in a country where the people are poor, labor cheap and prices low ; and even if he were a desirable sort of immigrant, -which in most cases he is not,-to entice him from the surroundings in which he has grown up, and which farnish but indifferent training for pioneer life, were a piece of cruelty which we hope the Legislature will not countenance. Fhe-men we want ate those to whom: work has been a necessity at home,who are ready to doff their coat,roll up their shirt sleeves, and go vigorously to the: plow. One thing in counestion with the Union and its pamphlet is noteworthy. Their plans seem to be laid . . with a view of locating the immigrants onthe lands of the speculators. «. This is remarkablein presénce ‘of the fact that there is Government -land which _ the settler may have at Goverment price, or even for nothing. The Union seems ta have got into company of questionable reputation, and we must be excused for saying so. The immi grant who is wise will receive with caution the favors of speculators and of those who aid and abet them. A Tro. jan will do well to suspect the Greeks, even with the gifts in their hands. sities TaLL SWEARING.—To prove that the Cau had thedargest circulation of any paper in San Francisco, its-proprietors placed the sworn statement of thu pressman at the head of its colunihs, declaring the regular edition to be 15,. 750 copies.

CoLniston.—THureday night,says the Grass Valley Uy.ien,-George Wilson was going from town, to his ranch, about’ a ‘mile east of here, and was driving’ rapidly on Bennett street. Mr. Simmons. was coming into town, on the same road, driving a span of horses. Both turned to the same side of the road and a collision.of horses occurred, A shaft of Wilson’s vehicle struck one of Simmons’ horses between the shoulders and penetrated to a con siderable depth, severing an» artery. The wounded horse died in a very few minutes after the collision.
