Let us look at a few facts. The debt of the county twe_ years ago was, in > ound numbers, $110,000 Et is ‘now $35,. Seventy-five thousand of that debt has > been paid off, in effect; ur rather the whole ++ of it, and $30,000 of ‘accruing indebted~ nets besides; tur the expenses of the two . eouaty paid $11,000. interest money per anx gum. It now pays about $2,000 per anpum. Against this showing is the lact that only $40,000 of indebtedness was paid off in the two-years—previous: —It-is-ateo—tove considered that since ‘the discovery of silver-overthe—mountaing, practically during the past two-yeare, «many of the ‘towns of ‘the county have decreased in business, 60 that licenses of the first class are nut sold at all; brokers instead of bankera licenses are taken out; liquor licenses have ‘vastly i decreased in number, as also billiard table + licenses, bowling alleys, &c. Any one . . who travels.over the county will be — pain» * fully impressed with the fact that nearly y every ‘town has décreased in population and business ; and hence that the revenues have Bc eat , necessarily largely diwinished. Real props _ arty has.ia fact decreused-in-value; but by Gwore*thorough system of assessing the Property tax has maititained its yield. Taxer have been better assessed, collected, and -— ~-the-proceeds better applied than ever be_ fore, by the diligence of the county officers, ond_hence the rapid_deerease of -the—debt, and the better financial condition 6f county afhirs. McKee, Turner, Sykes and Waite are the persons who have produced these. resuite, and they have earoed the public gratitude. The Sheriff's cffice has been carefully and. skilfully conducted. None of those vexatious Suits against the Sheriff and his bonds. men which have characterized ’ previcus terms of that office have occurred, bevause the Sheriff andUnder Sheriff knew their duties and gave satisfaction w litigants. F The affairs of the District Attorney's of-4 Ag unusually largo number. of cynvictions have fullowed flagrant crimes, and the wells being and order of suciety have been sedus . lowsly guarded by Mr, Gaylord. -We believe there is no citizen but will conear in our estimate as te the character and services of the retiring officers. Ic is * well to praise where praise is deserved. As to the other county officers, they hold over, and their record is not complete. So far, they have had public approbation.. StPERVISORS.—An Act to allow addition. compensation to the Board of Supervisors f this county, was introduced in the Seuiate dadgeRoberts; “and passed that body on Luteday last. We believe the object of thi, ct is to compensate the Buard for addition. time spent in transacting county business, gother than that prescibed by law. Now, (they are only allowed pay for sixty days in he year. The time required for the settiement of townsbip affairs, and the increase 7 of business on account of the fire, render a . Session, longer than that prescribed by law, ‘Dnecessary. The bill provides fur the pay~ ment of the Buard for additional services.— We hope it will. pass the Assembly and bes }come a law. Carr. Kipp’s Boat.—The high pres. ure side-wheel steamer, belonging to Capt. Kidd, to run as an opposition on the Sacra-.

Five years’ previously he had bade adieu to them and gone to Califurua, where he haped te realize a sufficient sum to perimt him to lend a life of ease durdng the remainder of his a: journ upou earth. who would waste to frivolous amusements or at the ganing table the mouey he dug from . the bosom of the earth, and as yeur alter “year passed away he eaw his store increase, until he imagived that the sum was sufficient ceived 4 letter from-his daughter, informing him that her muther had sickened and died. This i. telligence e.usrdhim. te_furaske his intention to return te the States. He Wrote to his daughter, telling her of his deterniinasien -and—eending-hertunds te pay her pastage to Caliturnia. About the ‘tame of her expected arrival in San Francisco he came ty the city for tre purpose of meeting her and conyeying her to. his home in the muuntams. While awaiting the arrival of the steamer. he fell inte the hands ofA party of «man-tealers or sbanghniers, aud waa «old to the officers of the ship Morning Star, a ship bound tor Liverpool. As the vessel upon waieh Mr. Simpson was a prisoner was going to Bea, the steamercame into the harbor, and ulthough he was within almest speaking distince, hé was not permitted to see or speak to his daughter, who was on board uf her. When he was seized by tbe press-gang, he had between three apf four: thousand dollaré on bis ip was taken from age Seven or eight him, and after a y wouthe in duration he found tiiuselfa wan. derer tpon the Liverpool quays, with barely enough inoney in his pockets to eep hunger ut bay ‘fur a forinight. He imade every effurtto return to California, but without success, until about three weeks ago, when he arrived on board the Wild Pigecn, from Australia. His daughter tad, upon her «rival here experieneed many difficulties, young inexperienced. and without a friend she found herself beset upon all sides, aird finally tistetied ti the lying tones of one who onty loved to destroy. She. like Deademona, loved nut wisely byt too well, and it wasthe same old story. Alter being deserted by her destroyer, she beeame a pretty waiter girl in a suloon on’Kearny street. where, but a few nights since, she was seen and Tecognized by her father, The agouy of the oldman when hefound hia only daughtera thing of hire in a eemmon rums<shep, was paiuful to behold, and he called down upou the heads ot those who had been inetrumental in effecting this ruin, the everlasting curse of heaven.
