. ee ata Minority Representation. The bad and corrupting influences of our.system of ignoring the existence of minorities‘are becoming every day the study of thinking men, and the ides of minority representation is growing in » vpopalar favor, New York has adopted the system in‘the election of J udges of the Supreme Court. Pennsylvania has, ‘by Convention, recommended the Legislature to adopt this system in the election of officers, and Illinois has already incorporated in ite Constitution such a system for the election of members of the Legislature as well as managers of all incorporated companies. “The object of this system is to give every voter positive and authorized influence in the legislation of the country. Harper’s Weekly, speaking of the result in New York, says: “It made its appearance in our zecent Constitutional Convention upon the proposition of Mr: —Hale, then of Essex ; and it was in a re certain form adopted at the election of Judges of Appeals inthe Spring. Nor has any change so radical ever been received with more favor. Hx-Senator Buckalew, of Pennsylvania, has been -one.of the most earnest advocates of the reform; and he very truly says that it is in no sense a partisan, but a truly patriotic movement.” It—is-certainly an improvement on the old system, as it has a tendency to check purely partizan legislation, as. well as to allay the bitter partizan apirit which ~~always grows out of a warm’ political contest, The same paper, speaking of the advantages of the system, says: “The obvions advantage offered by the . . minority representation is that it gives to the Legislature the relative weight of numbers and opinion that actually exists in the country. If it be said that in critical emergencies this is not advisable, because great unanimity of sentiment and action is then often ins dispensable, and that it could not be expected in an exact representation of differing opinions, .it must, on the other hand, be remembered that when great emergencies arise, as now in France, . there is virtual unanimity in the Legislature, and that one of the advantages of minority representation is that it diminishes the probabilities of such emergencies.” The people and papers of both parties in this State would do well to think of and discuss_ this question, and to press~it upon the next Legislature. California should not be behind other States in adopting reforms which are calculated to advance the interests of the entire people, and to. secure them a full share in the government of the country.’ NEVADA CouUNTY ASSESSMENT.—The Nevada TRANSCRIPT gives the assessed value of real and personal property in that county (not including mortgages) for this year, at—real, $ 200,444 80; rsonal, $1,836,420 55; total, $5,116,85. The returns as equalized by the Board of Supervisors last year,were $5,475,478. There has been a falling off $848,612 65. The TRANscRIPT believes the mortgages which are now exempt by law, but which were assessed last year, may equal half a million to six hundred thousand dollars. If we add half a million on this account, the assessment this would show an increase of $151,387 in the real and personal property of the coumty of Nevada, or about 3 per cent.—Sac, Union The showing last year includes the Supplemental Roll, which has not yet come in, and which will probably in. crease considerably the amount of taxable property. Last year was one of business prostration all over the State, and in view of that fact any increase at all is doing well. Tue Coomm Trape.—The Sacramento Union,speaking of this business, truly says: “This traffic in Asiatic coolies is an abomination leading to the most. dangerous social and political confusion, The next Congress should reach and suppress it by the severest penal'laws, It is just as much worse than our old form of slavery as the our African slaves were; and in hke proportion menacing to the indepen. dence of white labor.” Sop Our. — Notwithstanding the clap trap of the. Deméerats about “Railproad Monopolies” and “Soulless Cor. poratiens.” and their charges against the Republicans of being committed te the Railroads, there is never a Demoeratic Legislature that is not owned by the Railroad interests, body, soul and breethes. Our own Legislature last Winter, says the Appeal, was a case in point, where they repudiated -all of {their pledges and threw themselves more completely into the arms of the Central Pacific than was ever befere recorded of any similar body. We called attention on Wednesday to the course of the Oregon Legislature in having not only manifested an unwonted anxiety to eat railroad diet, but also to indorse the Williams’ Amendment upon which they set up such a howlof virtuous indignation before election, and it mow appears that Col. Kelly could not be elected United States Senator until he-had sold himself to Ben Holladay. A dispatch from Portland gives the following particulars of the humiliating trade: Col. Kelly, before his election, was forced to make pledges in writing, to upport the railroad measures in the State in Holladay’s interests. The’ Democrats have been fightiug Holla-' day fora year, and accusing Senator, Williams of being in league with him, and now they end the play by electing a Senator committed fully to Holladay’s plans, and pledged in writing so oppose the schemes of his rivals. Kelly’s acceptance of these conditions for the sake of being elected, is looked upon “gs being—hamili tothe last—de gree. Williams, who has pursued an independant-course throughout, comes out of the contest unscathed and fully vindicated in public estimation, AFTER SEWARD. —TheExaminer introduces some extract from a Deéemiocratic paper in the following language : We commend the following extract from an exchange to the calm consideration of the sycophants and timeservers of both parties who bent the pregnant hinges of the knee to the . despotic tinkler of the little bell when he was last in California, Any decent man, whether Democrat or Radical, who has the slightest love for political potatoes and few in a hill at that,” when he remembers he did reverance to the old bigoted tyrant, a portion of whose unrighteous and: indefensible deeds is chronicled below. The crime charged against Seward is, that in 1861, when there was treason in every department of Government, he issued orders for the arbitrary arrest of disloyal persons. The Hxaminer pretends to desire the people to forgets the Civil war, but it never loses an opportunity to defame those who aided the Government, It desires the peeple to forget and forgive the sins of the rebels, and at the sanie time it attempts” to blacken the fame of every loyal man in the country. But a few days since when General Sherman was in the State, he was denounced as the leader of “maurauding villians ” Seward having just passed through, trembling on ‘the verge of the grave, carrying upon his person the scars of the assassin’s knife, avile assault is made upon his fame and he is denounced as an “old bigoted tyrant.” For bigotry and nar. row minded partizan spirit the Hvaminer excels. Name, place ang tame are nothing, unless they can show red hands and satisfy the Hxaminer of devotion to the “lost cause.” THE California Pacific Railroad Company, through its President, has authorized W. W. Pendegast, Esq. of Napa, to say that, in event of’ the location of the Odd Fellows College and Home at that city, said Railroad Company will carry the students. thereof back and forth forever, free of payment or charge.

Asking Protection. : Sars A petition_is_being—circulated and largely signed by property owners, asking the City Trustees to require owners of cattle to shut them up in the Fall and Winter at night. Cattle do no damage while grass is plenty but as food is scarce they “forage” on the inclosed orchards and gardens. In the day time people can guard against these bovine invaders, but at night the damage is done. Such an order would not be hard on the owners of cattle and would afford protection to property. Quarterly Meeting. The first Quarterly Meeting of the new Conference year will be held in the Methodist Church in this city to-day. Reverend E. A. Hazen, Presiding Elder of the Marysville District, will preach morning and evening. The love feast will be held at half-past 9 o’clock on Sunday morning. The Difference. A Frenchman of this city, speaking yesterday of the difference between France and America, said : “In America the minerity, when beaten, quietly submit, saying, ‘all right, we'll try again in four years;’ but in France, as soon as the result is known, the minority build barricades and get ready to fight.” Pgas:—Mr. Rosenberg, of Carpinteria, says the Santa Barbara Zimes, brought us the product of three hills of beans, taken up at random, aud weighing ten pounds. He says that he has five acres of the same sort, pea-beans, which will probably yield twenty-five hundred pounds to the acre.__There are 300 pods to the stalk, two stalks to the hill, five peas to the pod, making 9,000 . peas from three hills. A Werioenty Five Year O.Lp.— The Stockton Herald of the 22d inst. says: A little girl five years of age, and weighing ene hundred and twenty pounds, and known by the sobriquet of the “Prussian Princess,” is on exhibition in a small tent at the north-west corner of Weber avenue and Hunter street. She isa curiosity the like of which is seldom if ever seen.THE mitrilfear has been beaten by the head of the Printing Bureau of the Treasury Department, who recently discharged forty journeyman printers in less than a minute, Mr. CocHRANE, the celebrated “gentleman farmer” of Montreal, introduced last week £15,000 worth of imported blood stock from Great Britain. A KENTUCKY town has an iron cago on the Court House steps, in which young men who get drank too often en sare The Virginia, Enterprise a On aifanch on the Carson rivereight ‘miles below the mouth of the Six-mile Canyon, is to be seen a hewd of twentyfive camels—all but two of which were Born. and raised in this State. But two of the old herd of nine or ten brought here some years are now living. It “would séem that the original lot fell» into the hands of Mexicans, who treatved them-very badly, overloading and abusing them. The men who now have them are Frenchmen, and men, 4 seems, who had formerly some expesience with camels in Europe, They find no difficulty in rearing them, and can now show twenty4our fine healthy camels, all of Washoe growth. The owners of the herd find it no more difficult to breed and rear them than it ‘would be with the same number of goats and. donkeys. The ranch upon which they are kept is sandy and sterile in the extreme, yet the animals feast and grow fat on such prickly shrubs and bitter weeds as no other 1 animal would touch; When left to themselves, their’ great delight, after filling themselves with the coarse herbage of the desert, is to lie and roll in the het sand. hey are used in packing salt to the mills on the river from ‘the marshes lying in the desert some sixty miles to the eastward. They have animals that can easily pack 1,000 pounds. ‘rE fearful destructiveness ef the so. called “natural” causes of death, as compared with the most sanguinary battles, is shown by the fact that during the siege of Sebastopol, the French army lost 20,240 men by death in the field, or as the result of their wounds, 75,000 from epidemic and other diseases. During the Italian campaign of two months, the French losses were. 8.664 killed or mortally wounded, 5,000 from disease. Like A Port.—The Vallejo Chronicle, in speaking of the appearance of the town, says : Vallejo presents, this morping, more the appearance of a shipping port than at any time heretofore. Four full rigged ships in port at the same time loading for Europe; the steam tugs darting hither and thither; numbers of small craft loading and discharging ; the shouts of the stevedores and the shriek of the locomotives arriving with freight trains loaded with precious grain, °made up a scene that would make the tears roll down the cheeks of a supernatural “tar,” who realized in the prospect before him by-gone days and their busy associations, Already the freight wharves begin to smell of tarand junk. A little while and Vallejo will be able to clear her ships from her own Custom House. een U. 8. Grant Mining Company.

The owners of the herd find it no more difficult to breed and rear them than it ‘would be with the same number of goats and. donkeys. The ranch upon which they are kept is sandy and sterile in the extreme, yet the animals feast and grow fat on such prickly

shrubs and bitter weeds as no other 1 animal would touch; When left to themselves, their’ great delight, after filling themselves with the coarse herbage of the desert, is to lie and roll in the het sand. hey are used in packing salt to the mills on the river from ‘the marshes lying in the desert some sixty miles to the eastward. They have animals that can easily pack 1,000 pounds. ‘rE fearful destructiveness ef the so. called “natural” causes of death, as compared with the most sanguinary battles, is shown by the fact that during the siege of Sebastopol, the French army lost 20,240 men by death in the field, or as the result of their wounds, 75,000 from epidemic and other diseases. During the Italian campaign of two months, the French losses were. 8.664 killed or mortally wounded, 5,000 from disease. Like A Port.—The Vallejo Chronicle, in speaking of the appearance of the town, says : Vallejo presents, this morping, more the appearance of a shipping port than at any time heretofore. Four full rigged ships in port at the same time loading for Europe; the steam tugs darting hither and thither; numbers of small craft loading and discharging ; the shouts of the stevedores and the shriek of the locomotives arriving with freight trains loaded with precious grain, °made up a scene that would make the tears roll down the cheeks of a supernatural “tar,” who realized in the prospect before him by-gone days and their busy associations, Already the freight wharves begin to smell of tarand junk. A little while and Vallejo will be able to clear her ships from her own Custom House. een U. 8. Grant Mining Company.
