Subserviency to Men, It isa good omen for our party that, notwithstanding all the loud-mouthed syeophantic demonstrations of fools, who haunt the purlicus of the Capital at Sacramento, and with looks of owl-like wisdom, affect to dictate the policy of party to others, and vent their anathemas ‘upon Senators who have the moral courage and independence, not to be led by the beck and nod of servile whippers-in, not one respeetable shect in the State has joined in the inglorious howl.

The House have had before them for a fortaight a proposition to send a commissioner to Washington with the vouchers required by the War Department proving the expenditures made by this state in the Indian wars. The subject first came up in the shape of a bill appointing Samuel B. Smith of Yuba, a special commissioner, with power to take the vouchers to Washington, and to reccive the money, receiving one per cent, or about $10,000 for his ;services. Another proposition is made by Dr. Bates, who offers to go to Washington, and conclude the whole matter, free of expense to the State, if the Legislature will grant him itorsof Liliputian dimensions physically ind mentally echo in emasculated yelps, the last expiring notes of the venial pack. The Placer Press, the lap-dog of the whole, far-behind prolongs the whine in most lugubrious monotones. Great Czxsar’s mzenes! What an improvement has there been! Once it took all the genius of a Clay, to steer the Whig party of the Union clear of the rocks that lay in its course, and he was not always successful. But now in these days of spontaneous. statesmanship, he who has read the title page of the life of Gen. Jackson, or has the melodies of Mother Goose, ‘well learned and conned by rote,” can see at a glance, as clear as mud, the policy to be pursued by the American party represented in the Senate of California, and per consequence of such superhuman insight into the mysteries of future politics, is entitled by superior wisdom if nothing else, to dictate to others in whose darkened yision the light of political revelation never entered. He has a dictum which wust not be disobeyed, and a right, not disputable, to fulmiuate bulls against dissenters, and burn heretics in unquenchable fire. Political damnation is already invoked for two or three who have not shown proper respect to a brace of men should be familiar with all its aspects, or could how grossly have those men been insulted, the sentiments or policy of the American wild in their devotion to spoils and the idols who are to bestow them. When the American party flung its banner to the breeze, reform was upon it. Was it to tell to the world the principles the party had dearly at heart, or were the blazoned letters to dazzle the eyes and cheat the senses of the ignoble crowd? Our party commenced its career, with professions of purity and a desire to expurgate itof the rottenness of party . tricksters with their immaculate concep-. tions of party policy concciyed with an. eye to self aggrandizement only. Old; corrupt party machinery was supposed to four month’s absence. This is the best proposition yet made for the State, thouch it is qualified by the consideration that the duties of State Treasurer are exacting and important, and should not be left with a deputy. The State Treasurer is, however, the only person authorized to receive the money. No special agentcan perform this duty. But there are sent on under the conditions named. First the consideration is vastly too great. Second, Mr. Smith is a delegate to the American . National Convention, and his selection for this . duty will have the suspicious and undesirable appearance of the dominant party in the Legislature paying the way of its partizans to the Atlantic States. Indeed, it is whispered at the capital that if the bill passes as it was originally introduced, the profits will be divided among four persons who stand in the same [relation to the party as Mr. Smith. Whether . this is so or not, it is important that the Leg: islature avoid the appearance of evil. We . have great confidence in this body—-that it . designs to do what is right—that as a legisla: . tive assemblage it is superior to any that has \ever met in the State, and that if it is misled ‘in this matter it will be for want of correct . information. . 80 engrossing that they cannot attend to the jinterests of the State in this matter.

Thornton, Jr.” 1¢ spoke of “insinuations”’ personal to this gentleman, in the Journal of last week, and as we did not re: member anything of the kind ourself, we rushed frantically to our files to see if we could discover in what portion of the paper the newly discovered mare’s nest was located. We read the artizle on“ Where the Money Goes,’ and then we read it over again, and it may be owing to our stupidity, but we cou!dn’t find the “insinuation.” It simply stated the fact, that of the $30,000 appropriated to the recovery of escheated estates. Mr. Tharnton received one thousand for professional services: We wish some one would thtow out such an “insinuation” against us every day. We would ask no other reparation than that they make their words good. But to return to Mr. Thornton’s card. We were puzzied, non-plussed. We looked at the subject in every light, and finally came to the conclusion to consider the whole thing as a joke. It is true it didn’t look on the face of it exactly like a joke, but it created in us an irresistible desire to cachinate, which we freely indulged, as we presume the public did, as they read it. We give place to the following communication upon the subject : In the last Journal appeared an article with the caption, “ Where the Money Goes,” which has called forth a card signed “H. I. Thornton, Jr.,” and published in the last Dem: cerat. The author of this card says he has other serious objections to Mr. Smith being . learned that E. G. Waite is the author of the article to which he refers, whom he designates asa ‘‘vulgar scribbling blackguard.” Poor jlittle boy Thornton! Like “ Bottom” in Mid. Summer Night’s Dream, he is “such a marvellous tender ass that if a hair do but tickle him, he must scrateh.” Now the article to which the boy Thornton refers merely gives an account of the expenditure of twenty:nine thousand four hundred and ninety-nine dollars and seventy-five cents. This the State paid to test the question whether it could récover escheated estates. ‘he Jour: nal gave the items of cost. The only reference made to the boy Thornton was this: “That no legal ability might be wanting, . the pair of Attorney Generals, one U. S. Sen/ator and a Judge, were reinforced by Louis . Blanding and H: I. Thornton, Jr., who re. ceived, the one the sum of $2,500, and the . other $1,000.” The truth of this assertion is admitted by . the boy aforeszid, (we wish to word this ina i legal manner) who says “The fact that I was ) paid $1000 is off record upon the books of the \controller.” That is sufficient, little boy ; you If the aforesaid boy feels himself assailed by , the quotation given above—for he was onl . assailed by the publication of the fact that he ‘received one thousand dollars for legal services, who received tex thousand dollars for their! services. But men are not so sensitive as. . boys generally ; and it may be they have not/ . been insulted at all. We rather think it was ‘one. We certainly do not blame him for tak-. . Single dash as a Page would get for an entire . Legislative session. . ‘The boy is sorry that he is obliged to take’ any notice of the article or its author; but was “driven to this remedy instead of other means jhe might have resorted to, because, as the . cautious author congratulates himself. a dis'tance of sixty miles is between us.” How . fortunate for Mr. Waite that sixty miles are . What a Lilliputian in size, and what a Jack! Falstaff in courage! Hold on! Mr. Waite be eschewed, and the inalienable right of the claim. No one can doubt but that these/ Sacramento some time during the month of i in. See February.” man to have a conscience to be used in-! gentlemen would emulate each other in bring. . y dependent of party policy as laid down} by superiors in assumption, was supposed . to be acknowledged. But how vain are all things earthly! Not long since two or three Senators, with the welfare of their constituents, and the whole state, at heart, dared to have an opinion of their own outside of a squad of assumed leaders, and voted in accordance with their convictions of right and justice, and now is raised “the banner cry of hell,”? and pot house peliticians, ery “‘hayoo, and let slip the dogs of war.” What is the state of affairs, and what the cause of this small-souled intolerance and small beer effervesence ? Why, mindful that last ycar thirty days and at least fifty thousand dollars were spent in joint convention in an abortive attempt to elect a United States Senator, and near four hundred pages of journals lumbered up with the folly of legislators in voting for their individual preferences, to the benefit of the State Printer, but not the State, several Senators, to avoid a repe tition of past foolishness and extravagance, refused to go into joint convention, till a candidate was agreed upon by the American party. Is there anything heinous in all this? No, but it shows on their part a will to carry out the professed principles of the party that elected them to the high and responsible position they hold. Those principles are, economy in legislation and reform ia party action. The ordinary business of a legislative session may now be going forward—the t-m2 of forty Democratic members may be profitably employed in maturing bills, and studying the wants of the people—instead of teing spent in a useless attempt to hoist a candidate into office, over insuperable obstacles ; and in the mean time a worthy man may be selected by the dominant . party, and be elected to the U. S. Senate without the cost of two hour’s time, or ing the matter to a satisfactory solution. ED oe aa Tur Censvs.—Qught the census to be taken this year? Certainly it had, if justice is to {the State which have grown to importance in point of population, and are left comparatively unrepresented in the Legislature. It is of more consequence that an enumeration of the inhabitants be had for the pur: . pose of making a new apportionment and equalizing the representation if not lessening it, than for any other object. True, the sta: tistical information which would be given to the world, of our power, wealth, resources and products would be interesting and useful, but it may well be doubted whether the State in the present condition of its finances ought to incur the heavy expenditure in taking the census for the purpose of disbursing information alone.— But to render to every portion of the State, its manifest political rights, the money necessary to take the census is of little consideration, especially when those rights are due by the terms of the constitution, and are unjustly withheld by the political might of counties having overgrown delegations on the floors of the two Houses of the Legislature. It was the duty of the last Legislature to provide for the taking of the second census of the State, which duty, though enjoined by the constitution and oath of office, was not performed. In justice to certain portions of the State, the census ought to be taken this year, in order that the inequality of representation complained of may be remedied. Butit isa mooted question, if an enumeration of inhabitants taken in 1856, could constitutionally form the basis of representation in the Legis: lature. Section 28,of the Legislative Department, reads as follows: “The enumeration of the inhabitants of this State shall be taken, under the direction of the Legislature, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty twe, and one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, and at the end of every ten years thereafter ; und these enumerations, together with the census that may be taken under the direction of the Congress of the United States, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty, and No doubt this will frighten Mr. . Waite, who will doubtless be willing to do anything to avert the anger of such an antagonist. Perhaps the Senator will be willing to ‘use his influence to procure the boy an office, Sacraménto Correspondence. Sacramento, Tuesday Eve., ) January, 22, 1856. The long agéiiy is over. Henry S. Foote having received, after thirty-two ineffectual ballotings, a majority of all the votes of the American”party represented in the Legislature, for the office of United States Senator, was declared the nominee this evening. The utmost harmony prevailed. The successful competitor was led to the Speaker’sstand amid prolonged cheers and addressed the conveation ina feeling and appropriate manner. Marshall succeeded him, and though the brilliant prize he coveted and sought by every honorable means to win, had been snatched from his grasp by another, he had lost nothing of that inimitable humor which delights an auditory, and makes him the darling of all good fellows. Henry A. Crabb, with the same magnanimity which prompted his withdrawal, also appeared and congratulated the American representatives upon the happy termination of their protracted labors, expressing a hope that the result of the evening, was an auspicious omen of the action of a joint convention. Tue Evenine Buutetin.—For the last three months this Journal has been Waging a righteous crusade against the swindlers and knaves of San Franciseo.— What private wrongs or personal jenmities may have moved James King of William to his terecious onslaught upon vice, we know little and care less. We have no desire to investigate the motives which actuate the man, but we do admire very heartily the spirit and vigor with which he has attacked rascality in all places, high and low, without fear or fa¥ot. San Francisco is undoubtedly the most corrupt civilized city on earth. This is no mere matter of epinion, but a plain simple fact, proven by records and figures, and within the knowledge of all the world. Vice stalks abroad morée unblushidgly, cheats gain the unholy objects of their desire oftener, and vice is received by virtue more complaisantly than in any place else. In whatever other thing our metropolis may be inferior te the sisterhood of cities, in all that relates to vice and corruption it stands pre-eminent and unappreachable, “None but itself can be its parallel.” The press of San Francisco have been Ferguson and Coeffroth regaled the. free enough in general comments upon the convention with a few earnest remarks, . wickedness of their city and have moraliand the caucus adjourned sine die.

He bores the public with no honied discourses upon sin, but steps beldly up to the sinner, and tears from his face the mask that concealed his deformity.

Good speed to him in his efforts. May he hit heavier blows and faster, till the miracle is wrought, and honesty becomes popular even in San Francisco. —————2 LeecueEs on THE TrREASURY.—We see that the old leeches upon the State Treasury have not all let go their hold. The extravagance of employing so many pages and porters around the capitel, has been strongly censured by the Sacramento Union and other papers, but still it continues. Three smart active boys, are able to do all the labor now performed by seven pages, and one porter to each braneh of the legislature is all that is requisite.— The State pays daily fifty-six dollars to ges, fer services which might easily be pbtained for fifteen, and from sixty to seventy dollars to porters, whose services are dear at one half the price. a will this system of smousing cease ? —e Oe Damacep.—We are sorry to see that the recent rains have produced a damaging effect upon many of the new brick buildings in our town. We hope the injury will not be serious. It must be owing to the inferior quality of the brick. Weknow that brick of an excellent quality can be made in the neighborhood, and we presume the main portian Minine Leaisuation.—We see that our neighbor, the Democrat, in reply to an article in the last Journal on ‘Mining Legislation,” has mistaken the position which we asstimed. The only legislative action which we suggested, was a law to render mining cliims subject to mortgage as quartz claims now are. We believe this species of property is now subject to attachment and execution, and it is to avoid the evils to the miner arising from this, that we are in favor of a law, to enable the hard working miaer to encumber his property by mortgage, so that the merchant and others, his ereditors can rest in the security that their money will be surely paid, and not hasten to the remedy of a suit, with its long array of lawyers fees, and court fees, and the ruinous expense of attachment and execution. The miner is now at the ,“mercy of every Shyloek,” and we wish by judicious legislation, to secure him from these dangérs. At the same time we wish to do justice to those who give credit to miners during the season, when the earth yields them nothing, and they need aid the most.— We have never known that it was considered a hardship by any man, that he should have the power to raise money upon his own property. If we miatake not, when the restrictions which the feudal doctrines had thrown around the alienation of property in England were reitioved by the more liberal policy of a later age, common sense won one of its greates triumphs over precedent. From that time forward, commerce took anew start; wealth diffused itself through all the channels of trade, and England became the wealthiest nation in Europe. We lay down the general proposition, that the more readily property of any kind, can be encumbered, so as to yield capital to the owner at his own will, the more valuable is the property, and the owner is thericher by the increase. If yet opened, could legally be mortgaged, for the means of -opening and working them,—how many rich deposits of . wealth would be thrown open to the light . of day, that must now lie concealed and) useless, for the lack of credit. It is “while claims are paying; that the miner should be protected.” And for . 'thatvery object we advocate the legali-. ' zing of mortgages of claims, as of real es. tate, wnich would deprive the hard eredi} and force him to give reasenable time to} the sfrapped miner, securingshim mean-. . while the ultimate paymentfof his just de-. mand, and such interest as they may mutually agree upon. Tue Town Marsnat.--Our new Town Marshal and his experienced Deputy are ap: proving themselves very efficient officers. ‘T'c the “ evil-doers” in our midst they have become such “ terrors” that rowdyism has already met with a palpable check. We hear rumors also that sundry occupants of build. ings have been warned to repair their sidewalks, and that the Marshal is determined to put the matter through, as soon as the weather is sufficiently settled. Speaking of the Marshals, an anecdote has come to our ears which furnishes evidence in. controvertible of their vigilance in guarding us against danger from fire. On one of our . Tecent chilly nights, the Marshal and Deputy, jin taking their rounds had arrived in frent of Josephson’s clothing store, when the following dialogue ensued : Marshal (snufing). thing burning ? Deputy (snuffing). I do,and no mistake ; and (snuffing) it comes from below this sidewalk.

The House have had before them for a fortaight a proposition to send a commissioner to Washington with the vouchers required by the War Department proving the expenditures made by this state in the Indian wars. The subject first came up in the shape of a bill appointing Samuel B. Smith of Yuba, a special commissioner, with power to take the vouchers to Washington, and to reccive the money, receiving one per cent, or about $10,000 for his ;services. Another proposition is made by Dr. Bates, who offers to go to Washington, and conclude the whole matter, free of expense to the State, if the Legislature will grant him itorsof Liliputian dimensions physically ind mentally echo in emasculated yelps, the last expiring notes of the venial pack. The Placer Press, the lap-dog of the whole, far-behind prolongs the whine in most lugubrious monotones. Great Czxsar’s mzenes! What an improvement has there been! Once it took all the genius of a Clay, to steer the Whig party of the Union clear of the rocks that lay in its course, and he was not always successful. But now in these days of spontaneous. statesmanship, he who has read the title page of the life of Gen. Jackson, or has the melodies of Mother Goose, ‘well learned and conned by rote,” can see at a glance, as clear as mud, the policy to be pursued by the American party represented in the Senate of California, and per consequence of such superhuman insight into the mysteries of future politics, is entitled by superior wisdom if nothing else, to dictate to others in whose darkened yision the light of political revelation never entered. He has a dictum which wust not be disobeyed, and a right, not disputable, to fulmiuate bulls against dissenters, and burn heretics in unquenchable fire. Political damnation is already invoked for two or three who have not shown proper respect to a brace of men should be familiar with all its aspects, or could how grossly have those men been insulted, the sentiments or policy of the American wild in their devotion to spoils and the idols who are to bestow them. When the American party flung its banner to the breeze, reform was upon it. Was it to tell to the world the principles the party had dearly at heart, or were the blazoned letters to dazzle the eyes and cheat the senses of the ignoble crowd? Our party commenced its career, with professions of purity and a desire to expurgate itof the rottenness of party . tricksters with their immaculate concep-. tions of party policy concciyed with an. eye to self aggrandizement only. Old; corrupt party machinery was supposed to four month’s absence. This is the best proposition yet made for the State, thouch it is qualified by the consideration that the duties of State Treasurer are exacting and important, and should not be left with a deputy. The State Treasurer is, however, the only person authorized to receive the money. No special agentcan perform this duty. But there are sent on under the conditions named. First the consideration is vastly too great. Second, Mr. Smith is a delegate to the American . National Convention, and his selection for this . duty will have the suspicious and undesirable appearance of the dominant party in the Legislature paying the way of its partizans to the Atlantic States. Indeed, it is whispered at the capital that if the bill passes as it was originally introduced, the profits will be divided among four persons who stand in the same [relation to the party as Mr. Smith. Whether . this is so or not, it is important that the Leg: islature avoid the appearance of evil. We . have great confidence in this body—-that it . designs to do what is right—that as a legisla: . tive assemblage it is superior to any that has \ever met in the State, and that if it is misled ‘in this matter it will be for want of correct . information. . 80 engrossing that they cannot attend to the jinterests of the State in this matter.

We read the artizle on“ Where the Money Goes,’ and then we read it over again, and it may be owing to our stupidity, but we cou!dn’t find the “insinuation.” It simply stated the fact, that of the $30,000 appropriated to the recovery of escheated estates. Mr. Tharnton received one thousand for professional services: We wish some one would thtow out such an “insinuation” against us every day. We would ask no other reparation than that they make their words good. But to return to Mr. Thornton’s card. We were puzzied, non-plussed. We looked at the subject in every light, and finally came to the conclusion to consider the whole thing as a joke. It is true it didn’t look on the face of it exactly like a joke, but it created in us an irresistible desire to cachinate, which we freely indulged, as we presume the public did, as they read it. We give place to the following communication upon the subject : In the last Journal appeared an article with the caption, “ Where the Money Goes,” which has called forth a card signed “H. I. Thornton, Jr.,” and published in the last Dem: cerat. The author of this card says he has other serious objections to Mr. Smith being . learned that E. G. Waite is the author of the article to which he refers, whom he designates asa ‘‘vulgar scribbling blackguard.” Poor jlittle boy Thornton! Like “ Bottom” in Mid. Summer Night’s Dream, he is “such a marvellous tender ass that if a hair do but tickle him, he must scrateh.” Now the article to which the boy Thornton refers merely gives an account of the expenditure of twenty:nine thousand four hundred and ninety-nine dollars and seventy-five cents. This the State paid to test the question whether it could récover escheated estates. ‘he Jour: nal gave the items of cost. The only reference made to the boy Thornton was this: “That no legal ability might be wanting, . the pair of Attorney Generals, one U. S. Sen/ator and a Judge, were reinforced by Louis . Blanding and H: I. Thornton, Jr., who re. ceived, the one the sum of $2,500, and the . other $1,000.” The truth of this assertion is admitted by . the boy aforeszid, (we wish to word this ina i legal manner) who says “The fact that I was ) paid $1000 is off record upon the books of the \controller.” That is sufficient, little boy ; you If the aforesaid boy feels himself assailed by , the quotation given above—for he was onl . assailed by the publication of the fact that he ‘received one thousand dollars for legal services, who received tex thousand dollars for their! services. But men are not so sensitive as. . boys generally ; and it may be they have not/ . been insulted at all. We rather think it was ‘one. We certainly do not blame him for tak-. . Single dash as a Page would get for an entire . Legislative session. . ‘The boy is sorry that he is obliged to take’ any notice of the article or its author; but was “driven to this remedy instead of other means jhe might have resorted to, because, as the . cautious author congratulates himself. a dis'tance of sixty miles is between us.” How . fortunate for Mr. Waite that sixty miles are .

No one can doubt but that these/ Sacramento some time during the month of i in. See February.” man to have a conscience to be used in-! gentlemen would emulate each other in bring. . y dependent of party policy as laid down} by superiors in assumption, was supposed . to be acknowledged. But how vain are all things earthly! Not long since two or three Senators, with the welfare of their constituents, and the whole state, at heart, dared to have an opinion of their own outside of a squad of assumed leaders, and voted in accordance with their convictions of right and justice, and now is raised “the banner cry of hell,”? and pot house peliticians, ery “‘hayoo, and let slip the dogs of war.” What is the state of affairs, and what the cause of this small-souled intolerance and small beer effervesence ? Why, mindful that last ycar thirty days and at least fifty thousand dollars were spent in joint convention in an abortive attempt to elect a United States Senator, and near four hundred pages of journals lumbered up with the folly of legislators in voting for their individual preferences, to the benefit of the State Printer, but not the State, several Senators, to avoid a repe tition of past foolishness and extravagance, refused to go into joint convention, till a candidate was agreed upon by the American party. Is there anything heinous in all this? No, but it shows on their part a will to carry out the professed principles of the party that elected them to the high and responsible position they hold. Those principles are, economy in legislation and reform ia party action. The ordinary business of a legislative session may now be going forward—the t-m2 of forty Democratic members may be profitably employed in maturing bills, and studying the wants of the people—instead of teing spent in a useless attempt to hoist a candidate into office, over insuperable obstacles ; and in the mean time a worthy man may be selected by the dominant . party, and be elected to the U. S. Senate without the cost of two hour’s time, or ing the matter to a satisfactory solution. ED oe aa Tur Censvs.—Qught the census to be taken this year? Certainly it had, if justice is to {the State which have grown to importance in point of population, and are left comparatively unrepresented in the Legislature. It is of more consequence that an enumeration of the inhabitants be had for the pur: . pose of making a new apportionment and equalizing the representation if not lessening it, than for any other object. True, the sta: tistical information which would be given to the world, of our power, wealth, resources and products would be interesting and useful, but it may well be doubted whether the State in the present condition of its finances ought to incur the heavy expenditure in taking the census for the purpose of disbursing information alone.— But to render to every portion of the State, its manifest political rights, the money necessary to take the census is of little consideration, especially when those rights are due by the terms of the constitution, and are unjustly withheld by the political might of counties having overgrown delegations on the floors of the two Houses of the Legislature. It was the duty of the last Legislature to provide for the taking of the second census of the State, which duty, though enjoined by the constitution and oath of office, was not performed. In justice to certain portions of the State, the census ought to be taken this year, in order that the inequality of representation complained of may be remedied. Butit isa mooted question, if an enumeration of inhabitants taken in 1856, could constitutionally form the basis of representation in the Legis: lature. Section 28,of the Legislative Department, reads as follows: “The enumeration of the inhabitants of this State shall be taken, under the direction of the Legislature, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty twe, and one thousand eight hundred and fifty-five, and at the end of every ten years thereafter ; und these enumerations, together with the census that may be taken under the direction of the Congress of the United States, in the year one thousand eight hundred and fifty, and No doubt this will frighten Mr. . Waite, who will doubtless be willing to do anything to avert the anger of such an antagonist. Perhaps the Senator will be willing to ‘use his influence to procure the boy an office, Sacraménto Correspondence. Sacramento, Tuesday Eve., ) January, 22, 1856. The long agéiiy is over. Henry S. Foote having received, after thirty-two ineffectual ballotings, a majority of all the votes of the American”party represented in the Legislature, for the office of United States Senator, was declared the nominee this evening. The utmost harmony prevailed. The successful competitor was led to the Speaker’sstand amid prolonged cheers and addressed the conveation ina feeling and appropriate manner. Marshall succeeded him, and though the brilliant prize he coveted and sought by every honorable means to win, had been snatched from his grasp by another, he had lost nothing of that inimitable humor which delights an auditory, and makes him the darling of all good fellows. Henry A. Crabb, with the same magnanimity which prompted his withdrawal, also appeared and congratulated the American representatives upon the happy termination of their protracted labors, expressing a hope that the result of the evening, was an auspicious omen of the action of a joint convention. Tue Evenine Buutetin.—For the last three months this Journal has been Waging a righteous crusade against the swindlers and knaves of San Franciseo.— What private wrongs or personal jenmities may have moved James King of William to his terecious onslaught upon vice, we know little and care less. We have no desire to investigate the motives which actuate the man, but we do admire very heartily the spirit and vigor with which he has attacked rascality in all places, high and low, without fear or fa¥ot. San Francisco is undoubtedly the most corrupt civilized city on earth. This is no mere matter of epinion, but a plain simple fact, proven by records and figures, and within the knowledge of all the world. Vice stalks abroad morée unblushidgly, cheats gain the unholy objects of their desire oftener, and vice is received by virtue more complaisantly than in any place else.

The extravagance of employing so many pages and porters around the capitel, has been strongly censured by the Sacramento Union and other papers, but still it continues. Three smart active boys, are able to do all the labor now performed by seven pages, and one porter to each braneh of the legislature is all that is requisite.— The State pays daily fifty-six dollars to ges, fer services which might easily be pbtained for fifteen, and from sixty to seventy dollars to porters, whose services are dear at one half the price. a will this system of smousing cease ? —e Oe Damacep.—We are sorry to see that the recent rains have produced a damaging effect upon many of the new brick buildings in our town.

Weknow that brick of an excellent quality can be made in the neighborhood, and we presume the main portian Minine Leaisuation.—We see that our neighbor, the Democrat, in reply to an article in the last Journal on ‘Mining Legislation,” has mistaken the position which we asstimed. The only legislative action which we suggested, was a law to render mining cliims subject to mortgage as quartz claims now are. We believe this species of property is now subject to attachment and execution, and it is to avoid the evils to the miner arising from this, that we are in favor of a law, to enable the hard working miaer to encumber his property by mortgage, so that the merchant and others, his ereditors can rest in the security that their money will be surely paid, and not hasten to the remedy of a suit, with its long array of lawyers fees, and court fees, and the ruinous expense of attachment and execution. The miner is now at the ,“mercy of every Shyloek,” and we wish by judicious legislation, to secure him from these dangérs. At the same time we wish to do justice to those who give credit to miners during the season, when the earth yields them nothing, and they need aid the most.— We have never known that it was considered a hardship by any man, that he should have the power to raise money upon his own property. If we miatake not, when the restrictions which the feudal doctrines had thrown around the alienation of property in England were reitioved by the more liberal policy of a later age, common sense won one of its greates triumphs over precedent. From that time forward, commerce took anew start; wealth diffused itself through all the channels of trade, and England became the wealthiest nation in Europe. We lay down the general proposition, that the more readily property of any kind, can be encumbered, so as to yield capital to the owner at his own will, the more valuable is the property, and the owner is thericher by the increase. If yet opened, could legally be mortgaged, for the means of -opening and working them,—how many rich deposits of . wealth would be thrown open to the light . of day, that must now lie concealed and) useless, for the lack of credit. It is “while claims are paying; that the miner should be protected.” And for . 'thatvery object we advocate the legali-. ' zing of mortgages of claims, as of real es. tate, wnich would deprive the hard eredi} and force him to give reasenable time to} the sfrapped miner, securingshim mean-. . while the ultimate paymentfof his just de-. mand, and such interest as they may mutually agree upon. Tue Town Marsnat.--Our new Town Marshal and his experienced Deputy are ap: proving themselves very efficient officers. ‘T'c the “ evil-doers” in our midst they have become such “ terrors” that rowdyism has already met with a palpable check. We hear rumors also that sundry occupants of build. ings have been warned to repair their sidewalks, and that the Marshal is determined to put the matter through, as soon as the weather is sufficiently settled. Speaking of the Marshals, an anecdote has come to our ears which furnishes evidence in. controvertible of their vigilance in guarding us against danger from fire. On one of our . Tecent chilly nights, the Marshal and Deputy, jin taking their rounds had arrived in frent of Josephson’s clothing store, when the following dialogue ensued : Marshal (snufing). thing burning ? Deputy (snuffing). I do,and no mistake ; and (snuffing) it comes from below this sidewalk. A moment more, and the plank would have been torn up, had not a citizen who was passs ing, called ount—— “Hallo, King! your coat’s on fire! Sure enough, the worthy Deputy who had just been taking a comfortable smoke, had forgotten to put his pipe out before putting it in—his pocket !

The Indians of this coast do not appear to possess that wild and untamable nature which characterizes the aboriginal inhabitants gf the Mississippi valley and the Atlantic slope. Labor to the latter is the Pacific, especially those of California are casily taught to be industrious and to earn by the sweat of the brow their own subsistence. The mildness of our climate has a corresponding effect upon the passions of the native dwellers of our valleys. Revenge is not so sweet to the Digger as to the Sioux, but he bears the insults and wrongs from the superior race that has overrun his country, with a patience and forbearance never yet known in the savages of North America. Howto preserve a specimen of the-red man, has been the theme of many an anxious statesman,— But the wild and indomitable spirit which brooks ne insult, mocks control, and courts extermination, hitherto found in the bosom of the savage, has blasted every hope of his preservation.
