sr the labor question will be a promipie. will be caretal how they believe hothing to regret about the action ~ Transevipt. NEVADA CITY. CAL. ‘Setueiay: November 24, 1877. GEO. M. MOTT is our. "oul only suthorized Ageut in Sacramento. He will receive Advertisements and Subscriptions for the TRANSCRIPT, and receipt for us in our name. —— Tae Coming Session. The incoming session of the California Legislature promises to be ome of-the most interesting ever held siuce the organization of the ‘State. The election .of . United States Seuator will occupy the first portion of the sessivn, and the. fight islikely to be a lively one. . ‘The several contestaats are well supplied with experienced manipulators, and each is determined to win, ‘Then nent subject for discussion, ‘Tlie school book questivn will also have tobe disposed of. Irrigation and other matters will arise for. disposal, und the question of taxation will be promineat. The Democracy being largely in the majority, will have the opportunity to bring aboat the wany reforms it has advocated for the past ten years, and it itdoes not new come up.to the scratch, tle peoits advocates in the fugure, If all the counties.in theState shall have as able and upright adelegation as that from this county, we have no: fours but good laws only will be enacted, Vo predict that oar Senators will front, seats from the outset, and we also believe that our county will be ably represented in the lowér house, It looks 4oa man up a tree, as if the fewer the laws -passed .at this session, the better it will be for the State, inasmuch as the coming constitutional Convention will be likely to ando not only the new Jaws but these now on the statate books,, We hope that wisdom .will control the councils of the Legisla‘ture and that the people will have tuke ofits newly elected representatives, a san Juan Stege Line, The proprietors of the North San Juan stageare’running that lide oo a very Cheap scale, so much so that people going to the Bay from San Juan, Forest City and Downieville, wo by the way of Marysville instead, of by this route, althougu they prefur-our route if. the accommodations were equally good, . Now this is all wrong, and we understand it will’ ~gsvon be remedied by. an opposition, ‘The San Jaan stage has two horses attached, thereby making it a Jong and tedious trip, ‘passengers will not come here uvless compelled to, Why is this coarse pursued? Is it becauge there is ‘nere profit to the stage Company to have the travel go by the way of Marysville, or is it done out of spite ? We don’t know what the real reason can be, but we do kuow that negotiations ate going on for a firstclass stage line between .this city, San Juan, Forest City and DownieVilly, and then we will be sure of all the travel front that section ot country. We hope the arranges ment fur the new line will be brougbt.to a head without delay, or that the short sighted poticyot the line above referred to will be abandoned. If the old company should sue fit tO put O4 & fitst-class line, which is demanded, we presume the projectéd pew line will ba abandonOne thing is eertain, otuere is going to be a good stage line, and that too, very as the people here are determined not to stand the present arrangement any longer. oe iio = Says the Marysville Appeul’s The present advanced Goudition of tue crops is truly astonishing to the oldest farmers. No other seasun se fa.Vorable is on record, _ ‘The grain is so far advanced as to cover the face of the ground, and present an eveu carpet of green, We conversed with ufasmer yest-rday who informed us that he had 800 acces of barley on which tve blades were standing three inches high. ‘Vhere appears to be no exception in fields, Ail are most promising, aud the farmers were vever in better cheer. so much so that ed, soon, TuxEre dre-thirteen German Catho-! lic cuurches within the limitsof New York city..

Outlook for the Chinese. A large bumber of the leading manufacturing establishments ~ on this cusst bave, during the past few mobths, discharged all their Chinese labor, and are tiow émploying white men, women, boys and girls. This step is baving a marked effect wpon those who.continue to bold out in favor of that kind of labor, and many are now considering the propriety of making the same change, for the sake of self-protection. “Puere are to-day in Sun Francisco thousands vt Mongvliaus who have been employed in various parts of theStute of work to d», and it is geiting to bea very serious mut-er with tue “Six Gre Cuinese Companies.’’ Everything is being dove to prevent any more uf them coming here, us tye news, bas gone buck to China thut a greul revolution ius tiken place, wud tue itulic-eyed fell-ws ure nut wauted;'and tuut is-toe reason why bundreds ure leaviug On every steamer, while but a very, few-ure coming. In every new enter, rise where a large number of luborers ure to be employed, tue first thing tuken into,cunsideration is: ““What kind of labor shall be employéd?” The question is now being settled in favor of white labor. to insure the success . of About the last enterprise we read of is tbhut of u cum .ttee appointed to consider the feasibility of building u ruilroad between Napa City and Clear Lake. fue road isto be a narrow gauge, and the line of route bas been determined, . But there is one fe.ture of tue report to which we desire to refer with special approbation, It is a. recommendution t> the effect that ‘the line of road be let. in sections, and that no Chinese labor be em. ployed. This is a wise recommendation, and if acted-npon will stimulate tue tride and production of Naps and Lake counties prodigiously. If Chinese Iubor be employed, the cost of construgtion may be a trifle less, ut the district which foots the bill will simply have that umount of cays itul abstracted from it, On the otber band, by employing white labor tue bulk of the money will go ifto cireulution on the spot, and‘ the district would detive a profit’ from the expenditures by thedaborers, for supplies, etc., equivalent to a year’s interest on the bonds. The wages fuud would rafuin in circulation; where#3; if paid to Chinamen it would fiud its way into tue coffers of Chinése traders, thence to China, and be Jost to the country ever after, ’ Poe South Carolina Justice. Some of the Eustern journals, with warm words of approval, are repeating how one Judge Cook of Columbia, South Carolina, a few days since called upon four colored mén, who had be nattending court very faitufully for several duys without seeming to haveauy other purpose than whiling~ .away the time on the benches, to come forward. and hear what the court had to say to them, When they came up the judge asked them what business they were eugaged in, and, not receiving s»tisfactory answers, he remarked that he had seen then: sitting in the court gan and had reason to believe they kad no honest means of living, but were vagrants, As he gave them into the bands of the sheriff, to be proceeded against for vagrancy, he I intend to clear this town of all such fellows who cannot and do not earo un honest living. If you -can’t tiud work here you must go into tue couutry and till the soil. Before three months pass over your beads I have good reason to believe that the law will authorize me to place all you vag rapts in a chain-gang to work the stréet# of this city and the roads of this county. The palmy days of growing fat und sleek in jail are gone forever, and you will learn the truth of the little inuxim, ‘Inthe sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.’’ negroes were vagrants and deserved the discipline which the judge bestowed upon them; but did any one ever hear of a South Carolina judge calling up any white men‘ and treating them inthat manver? Does aby . one believe that a man ever sat as a room who had no honest means of suppo.t and who, never learned how their brow?. . Clowbing, ~ pote bounty mowey.

The first bank lie came-1to greeted with, “ No, “we've no currency ‘on The President of the next . bank asked, “ What do you want?” “ Money,’ was the reply. “ Get out; we Wavn't-got any. What security can you give?” " Only my indi-; vidual nanie, sir,” said the Governor, “Individual pame !”’ thandered the bank officer. “How much do you waot, and what do you want ittor?” The Governor explained the dire necessity, and said he wanted fifty thousand dollars. “ What have youto-carry,it in?” and (without wailing for an answer, the offi. laid in fifty $1,000, and handed it over with the exclamation; “ Thére, sir; leave me a memorandum of this, and let me hear that the rebels are licked. ” In two or three days he obtained wore thati half'a million, of dollars, . thr whieh thie bank charged no_interest aud which was retufned in Bix weeks. 2 ‘How THE Ae wana Brres— When a rattiesnake is. disturbéd it sounds an alarm, and then, / (f compelled, it will fight.
