ALIFORNIA, ‘MAY ®, 1848. ee Transcript, SATUBMAY, [eae THE TENURE ov Orrick Law. Sa _ Whatever may be said of ‘this law by politicians, it is correct in principle and in accordance with the opinions held by many of the leading statesmen of the country. It is based upon the theory that the appdinting power being a concurrent one, the power to remove should be the same. Such were the opinions of Webster, Monroe and others of equal prominence. The modern Democratic theory, that “To the victors belong the spoils” is almost-as dangerous to the country as those other Demgeratic heresies which give a State the right to withdraw from the Union at pleasure and confer upon the Executive “ehe right to pass upon the constitu‘tionality of the laws of Congress. In these latter days worth is st a discount e Sacramento Mhion of yeste the murderer of U. 8. Gregory, [father of A. B. Gregory, of this city,] jailor, at Virginia City; two years since, was brought over from San Quentin to-day and lodged in the calaboose, to await the arrival of a réquisition from Nevada. He was sent from Mokelumne Hill one year for assault with a deadly weapon, under the name of Jules Dana, and only recognized by detective John‘son last week. fo The trial of Eugene Tucker has been going onall day (Thursday),. The Court finally decided to admit his confession, as it was shown to have been made under no compulsion and no inducements were offered him to call it out. The testimony is allin for the prosecution, and only two or three witnesses will be called for the defense to show character. The Odd Fellows’ officers elect of the Grand Lodge of California are C. 8. Haswell, M. W. G. M. ; 8. M. Brockway, -and amounts to nothing in the parcel-. R. W. D. G. M.; J, B. Harman, R. W. ing out of offices. The most insignificant postmaster in the country must have done some party service in order to entitle him to hold his position.” Such a system of distributing patronage gives great power for evil to one who. will so/ use it. Even Jackson, who made the firat clean sweep and inaugurated a custom that should never have been followed at our time, said while a candidate for the Presidency, in reference to a correspondence Which had taken place between between himself and Mongoe : “My advice to the President was that in the selection of his Cabinet, he should act upon principles like these: Consider himself the head of a nation, not of a party, that he should have around . . him the best talent the country could afford, withont regard to_ sectional divisions ; and should, in his selection, seek after men of. probity, virtue, caity, and firmness, and in this way e would do as much to-eradicate those feelings which on former occasions government.” a ~ After the election of Jackson, Web"ster said: “Probably General Jackson will make some removals, bat I think not a great many immediately.” But Webster was decéived and Jackson _failed to carry out his fair promises and originated the system of rotation in office, which has ever since cursed the country. The Tenure of Office Law now comes in, removes this great ovil, and. provides that. removals may only be made for cause. Good men who hold offices may have the independence to express their true sentiments on questions of public importance without the fear of removal, and the occupation of the great army of office seekers who now swarm to Washington at every change of Administration will be gone. We hope that the Tenure of Office Law will continue in force ever after the immediate necessity for it is passed. UNion or Opp FELLOWws.—The last Odd Fellows’ Grand Lodge, of Califor. . nia, sent Meacham to Australia to endeavor to induce the Brotherhood there to affiliate with that of America; the Order in Australia had been organized ‘on the English plan, known as the Manchester Unity. The mission has been a complete success. The same working has been adopted and 4,000 members are now in affiliation with the American Odd Fellows, —— THR “Sweetwater Infatuation” has broken out violently in Idaho, and nowhere more so than among the farmers of Boise Valley. Nearly every day little equads of mules and packs are wending their way eastward, Ask where they are going, and the answer is—“Sweetwater!” The Boise Statesman says. “We make no objections, Let every man go who feels inclined. He will be good for nothing if he stays, after once taking the ‘féver.’ A man who has Sweetwater or any other humbug on the brain, won’t work. With land, team, seed and touls put in his hands, he wouldn’t raise enough to support himeelf. Therefore, we rather encour age all who are at all anxious to go.” calls for “Christian courtesy” in the matter of stealing . ines, G. M.; ‘T. Rodgers Johnson, R. W. G. 8.; H. M. Brooks, R. W.G. T.; A. G. Gunnison, Grand Representative, Trustees: A. A. Sargent, Louis Laher and H. C. Squire.” ‘Hore GRAVEL CoMPANY.—We aré . informed says the National, that this company have about completed their hoisting works, which they purchased of the Old Alta company and removed to their ground. next —week a 12-inch pump will be} started with a sufficient power to raise water from the mine in immense volumes. It will take but a very short time to relieve the mine of water, now that the rainy season is over, and we may expect to hear of the company raising some very rich gravel from the mine. Every one knows the ground to be rich and we feel quite confident that Superintendent Sam; Locke ‘will soo have it in sight. : CONFIDENCE IN ‘THE RESULT.—Congressman Higby, who represents this . district, says, in a private letter dated April 18th, that he has full confidence that the Impeachment Court will find the President guilty and depose him— all of which willbe a blessing to the, nation. On the first instant, George 8. Evans, late Adjutant General of the State of California, vacated the office. to give place to James H. Allen, appointed by Governor Haight. Wm. W. Elliott, of San Francisco, has been appointed by General Allen as Assistant Adjutant General, vice W. L. Ustick. GrowrTH or TREES.—As the result . of observations and from the testimony of reliable men, the following is about the average growth in twelve years of the leading desirable varieties, when planted in belts and groves and cultivated: White Maple, one foot in diameter and thirty feet high; Ash Maple, one foot in diameter and twenty feet high ; Willow, yellow, one foot and a half in diameter and thirty feet high; Lom bardy Poplar, ten inches in diameter and forty feet high; Blue and White Ash, ten inches in diameter and twenty feet high; Chesnuts, ten inches in diameter and twenty feet high; Black Walnut and Butternut, ten inches in diameter and twenty feet high; Elm, ten inches in diameter and twenty-five feet high; the different varicties of Evergreens will make an average growth of from eighteen to twenty nches in hight annual) y, BEAUTIFUL ANSWERS.—A pupil of the Abbe Secord gave the following extraordinary answers: What isgrativuds? Gratitude Is the memory of the heart.” Whatis hope? Hope is the blossorh of et hana ets A What is the difference betweén hope and desire? Desire is a tree in leaf, Hope is a tree in flower, and is a tree in fruit, SEs What is eternity? A day without a or to-morrow ; a day without end. _ Whatistime?

The special conimittee appointed to examine the County Hospital sub-mitted the following report : Your Committee to whom was assigned the duty of examining into the affairs of the County Hospital beg leave to report as follows: We found the beds and bedding neat and scrupulously ciean and the inmates well and comfortably clothed. We enquired of many of them it anything further could be done tor their personal comfort or physical improvement. They were unanimous in the expression that the County Physician was doing everything possible for them. We examined the food furnished the patients and found it all that could be desired and in ample quantities: The kitchen and larder and‘in fact the whole ¢stablishment is a model of cleanliness‘and good order. The Hospital and grounds have an ample supply of water. Nuring the last year shade and fruit trees have been planted, which, in five years will add greatly to the external appearance and comfort. In conclusion we would say that the Hospital and its management reflect credit on the county. ALEX. GAULT,R. D. SKIDMORE, I, T. SAXBY.

The deed contained $15 worth of revenue stamps. A Lock Up,—The Board of _Supervisors have appropriated $100 to build a“lock up” or “branch jail” at Coburn’s Station, when the citizens of that town shall contribute a like amount for the same purpose. A RETIRED editor says his connection with the press has thawed and resolved itself into adieu. — Pe A CORRESPONDENT writes to know where axletrees grow.’ We have have heard them groan under a wagon. Down in Georgia, a saw-mill was lately stopped by the saw coming in contact with a twenty-four pound ball imbedded in the saw log.
