Subject to the decision of the National Ro publican Convention. ; Reformers, There is a disposition among certain classes of politicians who boast of being progressive, to look upon every proposed change as a reform, ‘and every reform thus defined as an — improvement; and in yery many in-) stances this cry of reform being rais~4 ed, well meaning people are ready ' 0 take it up without looking~at the ~gesult. It is a good policy te “bear _ the ills we have” rather than “‘fly to others that we know not of,”’ in all matters of public policy as well as of private business. Every cry of reform sounded should not be heard and followed until itis demonstrated beyond doubt that the proposed reform ‘is feasible, and if secured is beneficial. We have an example of intemperate haste with which men are prone to follow every proposition of reform, in the action of the Assembly on the request to Congress for a change of the time and place for ‘the election of Senators. No substi‘tute is proposed for the present system-of Senatorial elections, and the learned Assembly do not suggest whether the time shall be changed from December to July or any other other month, nor whether the place shall be the State Capital or the AsyJum at Stockton. No substitute is proposed for ‘the plan by which a Webster, a Clay, and the brightest. lights of the country were selected _ as Senators, but.a vague and indefinite demand is made for a change of that provision of the Constitution, which provides, that members of the higher branch of Congress shall be chosen by the Legislatures of the States, and this the wisdom of the assembled representatives _of.the State of California support, because forsooth, they call it reform. The pretext is, that State Legislatures are too corrupt to be trusted with the selection of Senators, or that too much’ time is taken in the contest. The latter, since the passage of the __National law for the election of Sen"ators, is baseless, and even if the for! mer change be well founded,a change of time and place would not remedy the matter. If Legislatures are corrapt, the remedy may be reached by the Legislature without appeal to ~ Congress, by the passage of a stringent law, making it a felony for any person to offer or accept a gift of of-fice, or a bribe for his vote or influeace in the Legislature, and also for the expulsion of members guilty of @uch offenses. If the Convention system is adopted, the corrupting influences that are used in Legislatures will be transferred to the Primary and. the Convention, and in“sugtead. of removing corruption it will bedome more wide-spread. If the Legislature can be trusted at all, it ~ may be trusted to select Senators at _.the time and place now provided by law, and if it canitet be trusted, as the members who sipport this socalled: reform seem to think, the sooner the Legislature is wiped out of existence the better for the State. For our part we believe the Legislature may bé safely trusted, and we are willing to believe that this proposition in regard to the election of Senator was. supported by members because they confounded the proposition to change with reform, and that they had no desire to suggest that they could not be trusted to vote for United States Senators. In. conclusion, while on this subject, we desire to suggest for the future, that the representatives at Sacramento would do well to devote their time and attention to legislation upon subjects within their jurisdiction, leaving the United States Con-. stitution and laws to the care of those who compose the . National Congress and to the great National parties, We have no idea that these badly contructed resolutions in favor } of undefined and unprofitable changes will, meet with any consideration at the hands of statesmen, aad we do not like to see men flitting away time at ‘State expense, while most vi. tul interests are neglected. a ere Dros as beg fo ye dogs, and three v ‘. the .

The Bulletin correspondent says of + hin: “The most notable of the recent arrivals, and the avant courier . of all, is J. A. Thompson, wellknown in California and: Nevada as ‘SnowShoe Thompson,’ who uséd to carry the mails on snow shoes over.the Sierrus, and has a claim now pending in Congréss for that serviee. He left Reno cn the 17th of January, and three days afterwards the train got stuck in a drift thirty-five miles west of Laramie, inspite of the ef. forts of four locomotives to get her through, preceded by a Sunday’s work of shoveling by all hands. -On Monday morning the wind was blow ing and the snow still drifting; so Thompson, with one fellow passenger;-Rufas Turner, of Idaho, set out on foot and = walkéd to Laramie, where they overtook a train that was also stuck in the snow a short distance from the village. At this point. Turner concluded that he wanted no more pedestrian exercise, ‘with the thermometer down to 15, 20 and 30 degrees below zero. But Thompson pushed on alone, and walked in two days fifty-six miles further, to Cheyenne, spending the night at Buford. Station, near the Summit of the Rocky mountains. At Cheyenne he found a train just starting, and came through to the Missouri river, the first man direetly from the Pacific coast for about two weeks, and undoubtedly the first that ever beat the iron horse on so long a stretch. He says he found very little snow anywhere except in the “‘cuts,” which it seems from his description are not ordinary railway cuttings, but purely temporary features of the road in Winter, caused by the banking up of snow thrown off the track at. the sides, which is constantly gathering aceretionsby the action of the wind blowing the successive falls of snow, results in the building up’of walls of snow from ten to twenty feet high on each-side, between which the snow subsequently balls andis packed down hard, with no means of throwing it off. Military Election. The commissioned officers of the City Guard, Sacramento, Grass Valley Union Guard, Nevada Light Guard, Placerville City Guard, Emmet Guard, Sacramento, Howell Zouaves, Grass Valley, Sarsfield Guard, Sacramento, and Sherman Guard, Marysville, are ordered to meet atthe armory of the Sarsfield Guard, Sacramento, on Thursday evening, March 7th, for the purpose of electing a Colonel, LieutenantColonel, and Major of newly organized Fourth Regiment-of.the Fourth Brigade, National Guard. The Library Lecture. Judge Searls’ lecture, on Monday ‘evening, at Library Hall, will be well worth hearing. The Judge made a trip to the South during the war and: visited the army. At one time he got between the skirmish lines of the contending forces, and henee he ‘knows how ‘tis himself’’ to be under fire. The subject of his . : lecture is, “What I know ef the Rebellion.’’ We predict a big crowd at Library Hall on Monday night. Attempted Suicide, Yesterday a young man, named Wm, Campbell, attempted suicide by eutting his throat at Brush Creek He used to live on Gold Flat, and came from Sacramento on Wednesday. Dr. Hunt was sent fer, and went to see him last evening. Cold. It has been so cold the two nights past that ice of considerable thickness was formed in this city.

We noticed that a strike had ‘been made on Randolph Hill, near the . town of Rough and Ready. ‘The gold found oh that_ hill is under the site of the first cabin ever built on the hill. The Grass V: Union speaking of the strike, says» A party of men from Randolph county, Missouri, located the hill and gave it the name it bears. A man named Dameron, of the party, put up the first cabin near their diggings. In that ‘cabin stayed Dameron and his party until the Randolph Hill diggings were supposed to have been worked. out. The original locators ‘of the ground ‘have long since departed from this part of the country. Dameron and his friends slept for years just above one of the richest pockets.of gold whieh has yet been discovered on the Hill. They prebably dreamed. that the country was “played out”’ and.that there was no longer any use in mining here, and so they pulled up stakes,-and like all~prospectors, hunted for new placers. Itis probable that those early day boys spent all they made on Randolph Hill in searching for gold or silver in-ofher lands. They walked away from great riches, from a golden hearthstone, to search for better: things. Others came upon Randolph Hill as gleaners, The harvest of the hill had been reaped, but the gleaners thought that perhaps afew golden grains had been left by the men who hurriedly -harvested in the times of 1849 and 1850. Isaac Depew and A. L. Reese went to Randolph Hill-and prospected around. ‘They are hard working men and when there was water on the hill they would sluice or ‘‘pan out’’ as they were able. On Saturday last they found indications of richness under the site of the old Dameron cabin, Since Saturday they have taken out about $1,500 worth of gold. This amount. has been taken out of a hole six feet long, two feet wide and two feet deep. The gold is in decomposed quartz and some ap-. pearance of a regular ledge began on Wednesday morning. One pan of the decomposed quartz yielded 19 ounces of gold. The work of taking out the $1,500 has not been of more than six hours alltold. The last pick struck into that-little hole gave the richest result of any since the strike was first made. The Ineky finders and deserve their good fortune. The quartz found is so near gold and has such little rock in it, that it is taken on deposit, at Findley’ s bank, as bullion. ve Rev. Dr. Jacosy, ina speech recently delivered in Philadelpia, stated ministers of the Presbyterian ehurches, receive salaries of less than one thousand dollars, and one-third less than six hundred. Just 2,076 buildings, including 93 of stoneand 815 of brick, were erected ‘in Boston last year. The value of the whole is $17,000,000, and the average value of the brick structures $10,000.
