My estimate of the receipts of the county * Tor the last fiscal year, to which I ask refer. .

Tcon{ jidently anticipate the receipts for the next fiscal year to be nearly, or quite double the amount for the present year, while the ex-. henses will be much tess. From these con, tiderations, It is but reasonable to gee ap _ that by the close of another year, the debt of she county will be entirely extinguished, be' tides paying ‘the current expenses for the , year, This will, to a great extent, depend bn the exertions which may be made by the , sollectors of public revenue.

SARGENT EDITOR. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 13. San Francisco Acexcr.—We are pleased to stato that wo have secured the services of (Mr. L. P. Eisner, as agent for the Nevada j eee at San Francisco. He is authorized ’ }, to receive advertisements and subscriptions jfor this paper, and to receipt for ail monies. All business that may be entrusted to him on jbehalf of the Journa’, will receive immediate . = attention. Mr. Fisher is our only authorized . agent in San Francisco. He may befound at ! the Merchants’ Exchange. RRR NES a TTD Pablication of Evidence. ; We are informed that exceptions were ' takenon Monday lastin the District Court to our publishing the evidence on the exination of Janssen, by the counsel for the . prisoner, Mr. Churchman, and that remarks intended to be severe were made by the court in reference to us for the same act.— Also that the learned judge, W. T. Barbour, held such act ‘a high contempt of court,’ which, recurring, he should ‘severely punish.’ We say we are so informed, for not being in possession of that part of the programme of proceedings, we were not in attendance, and therefore rely on the statements of others. We have a word or two to say on the matter, and presume our remarks will travel as far as the comments of court. . ' The publication of the evidence in the . examination of Jan:sen was not an isolated case. Evidence in such cases has been repeatedly published in Nevada, as well as through California and the United States) and no court has before had that peculiar sensitivonesg of solf-appreciation to lead it to hold such publications as contempts. On the ! examination of the Industry Bar duellists, we reported the evidence in full, and ne objection was made. In that of Geo, Barrett, afterwards hung, Mr. Churchman and others recommended its publication, but our space did not admit of it. In the case of Matthias Ault, examined for killing Fisher, Mr. Churchman called and advised us to procure . the decuments of Justice Endecott, instead , Of relying on our own notes in publishing the evidence, We preferred to use our own . notes, which were not found fault with. We . would like to ask if it is not a little absurd then, to go into court and charge us with a misdemeanor for doing what had not been , objected to by the bar or bench, and especi. ally for one to do so who recently had ad: . vised to a thing parallel to the one he chargseats cm ges a —~ SS But what isa contempt of court?

Which none but the parties suffering in a newspaper, unless it stirred up riot and . them can appreciate. By consent of the disturbance in the presence of the court, If. parties the pay ot the Jurors was raised the court issned an injunction to restrain. to $5 per day. publication in any instance, which, for the purpose of argument we admit its power te do, and the injanction is disregarded,it would be able to punish for contempt. But no such mandate penetrated onr sanctum—we rviolated no injunction—we set no precedent—we committed no contempt. It might bea useful inquiry how far acon-.

Grass Vattey, May 10th, 1853, The most prominent and pleasing of the events of last week in this place has beon the May-day Festivity by the children, on Saturday last. At about 1 oclock, P. M. the children, numbering eighty-four, were formed im order at the church, and under the direetion of their teachers and others delegated for the purpose, accompanied by their fathers, mothers, and invited guests from Rough & Ready and adjacent places, were conducted through the principal streets, to a beautiful grove of Oaks, about a quarter ofa mile from town, where every thing had been prepared that taste, inbefitting the ceremonies of sueh an _oeeasion, a correct description of which, would equal if it did not surpass, ,the finest, most fairy-like, volatile and beautiful pictures, ever eonjured up by the subtile imaginations of Poets own, which [ fear is beyond the power of my pen to portray. All the children were pretty, and rome of them exceedingly beautiful. The wero dressed in a tasteful and appropriate manner, and beanteous garlands of the finest May-flowers that could be plucked fiom the surrounding hills and one ofthem. A pretty little girl was selected as Queen, and a platform embowered with Dranchlots of luxuriant greon, was arranged for her to sit upon. The grove is situnted on the side of a gentle grass-covered hill, at the lower part of which was arranged the table, and above ~in amphitheatre form the children and others of this large and fantastic assomblage. The children were filed along in regular order on either side, and the throng of cager and expectant visitors, were gathered around them in such a manner as nothing might be lest to them of this'most pleasing and attractive ceremony. The sun shone clear and bright, save now and then ebsecured by a fragment-cloud galloping away through the pure blue Heavens to the region of tempests. “The hill sidee wherever the eye rested were covered with green grasa, shaded by the widespreading tops of the Sierra Oak,and evergreens of gigantic pine and spruce, diversified the scene. ‘The winds came gently from the south laden with the wasted fragrance of countless flowers that on hill and in dale. and the woods were mellodous with the chirpings of birds. Amid such a sceno, the crown wrought of bright, beautiful and perfect flowers arranged with exquisite taste and interspersed with evergreens, was borne upon the white tiny hands of twosylphlike ereatures, and placed upon the head of the benignant and gantle Queen; and the whole ceremony uppeared symbolic, not of the coronation of a haughty Emeror, but of the willing devotion awarded te Deity by the meek Seraphim of Heaven. It was indeed a spectacle of purity, innocence and beau'y, that diverted the mind from the groveling things of earth; to the spirit land, and such as rarely meets the eyes of mortais, on this earth. Each one of the 'itue children passed between the ccleumns of their comrades on either side, and laid at the feet of the Queen's beautiful boquets as a tribute of respect to her. The ceremony being eoncladed the children were arranged in a semi-circular manner about the ta-~ ble, which was laden with luxuries of every procurablo character, and each end of wbeautiful arch of garland’s chilghood seeming to rost pon it. This was done at the instanceof Mr Dwight, the Daguerrean of this place for tho purpose of getting a photographic, view of ascene so charming, but the “lights’ were some way wrong, and the attempt unfortunately proved abortive. ‘The collation came next, and this certainly sur~ passed any thing of the kind I ever saw before.

The children were addressed appropriately by Rey'ds. Simmonsand Hale. Thus childhood, youth, and old age mingled, sympathised, instracted, loved, feasted and parted. The ehildren gave themselves up to the sports to which their little hearts prompted them. They romped on the green hill side, and rendered the air with tho resistless, joyous and boisterous shouts, that overflowed their hanpy little souls.

RRR NES a TTD Pablication of Evidence. ; We are informed that exceptions were ' takenon Monday lastin the District Court to our publishing the evidence on the exination of Janssen, by the counsel for the . prisoner, Mr. Churchman, and that remarks intended to be severe were made by the court in reference to us for the same act.— Also that the learned judge, W. T. Barbour, held such act ‘a high contempt of court,’ which, recurring, he should ‘severely punish.’ We say we are so informed, for not being in possession of that part of the programme of proceedings, we were not in attendance, and therefore rely on the statements of others. We have a word or two to say on the matter, and presume our remarks will travel as far as the comments of court. . ' The publication of the evidence in the . examination of Jan:sen was not an isolated case. Evidence in such cases has been repeatedly published in Nevada, as well as through California and the United States) and no court has before had that peculiar sensitivonesg of solf-appreciation to lead it to hold such publications as contempts. On the ! examination of the Industry Bar duellists, we reported the evidence in full, and ne objection was made. In that of Geo, Barrett, afterwards hung, Mr. Churchman and others recommended its publication, but our space did not admit of it. In the case of Matthias Ault, examined for killing Fisher, Mr. Churchman called and advised us to procure . the decuments of Justice Endecott, instead , Of relying on our own notes in publishing the evidence, We preferred to use our own . notes, which were not found fault with. We . would like to ask if it is not a little absurd then, to go into court and charge us with a misdemeanor for doing what had not been , objected to by the bar or bench, and especi. ally for one to do so who recently had ad: . vised to a thing parallel to the one he chargseats cm ges a —~ SS But what isa contempt of court?

By consent of the disturbance in the presence of the court, If. parties the pay ot the Jurors was raised the court issned an injunction to restrain. to $5 per day. publication in any instance, which, for the purpose of argument we admit its power te do, and the injanction is disregarded,it would be able to punish for contempt. But no such mandate penetrated onr sanctum—we rviolated no injunction—we set no precedent—we committed no contempt. It might bea useful inquiry how far acon-.

Grass Vattey, May 10th, 1853, The most prominent and pleasing of the events of last week in this place has beon the May-day Festivity by the children, on Saturday last. At about 1 oclock, P. M. the children, numbering eighty-four, were formed im order at the church, and under the direetion of their teachers and others delegated for the purpose, accompanied by their fathers, mothers, and invited guests from Rough & Ready and adjacent places, were conducted through the principal streets, to a beautiful grove of Oaks, about a quarter ofa mile from town, where every thing had been prepared that taste, inbefitting the ceremonies of sueh an _oeeasion, a correct description of which, would equal if it did not surpass, ,the finest, most fairy-like, volatile and beautiful pictures, ever eonjured up by the subtile imaginations of Poets own, which [ fear is beyond the power of my pen to portray. All the children were pretty, and rome of them exceedingly beautiful. The wero dressed in a tasteful and appropriate manner, and beanteous garlands of the finest May-flowers that could be plucked fiom the surrounding hills and one ofthem. A pretty little girl was selected as Queen, and a platform embowered with Dranchlots of luxuriant greon, was arranged for her to sit upon. The grove is situnted on the side of a gentle grass-covered hill, at the lower part of which was arranged the table, and above ~in amphitheatre form the children and others of this large and fantastic assomblage. The children were filed along in regular order on either side, and the throng of cager and expectant visitors, were gathered around them in such a manner as nothing might be lest to them of this'most pleasing and attractive ceremony. The sun shone clear and bright, save now and then ebsecured by a fragment-cloud galloping away through the pure blue Heavens to the region of tempests. “The hill sidee wherever the eye rested were covered with green grasa, shaded by the widespreading tops of the Sierra Oak,and evergreens of gigantic pine and spruce, diversified the scene. ‘The winds came gently from the south laden with the wasted fragrance of countless flowers that on hill and in dale. and the woods were mellodous with the chirpings of birds. Amid such a sceno, the crown wrought of bright, beautiful and perfect flowers arranged with exquisite taste and interspersed with evergreens, was borne upon the white tiny hands of twosylphlike ereatures, and placed upon the head of the benignant and gantle Queen; and the whole ceremony uppeared symbolic, not of the coronation of a haughty Emeror, but of the willing devotion awarded te Deity by the meek Seraphim of Heaven. It was indeed a spectacle of purity, innocence and beau'y, that diverted the mind from the groveling things of earth; to the spirit land, and such as rarely meets the eyes of mortais, on this earth. Each one of the 'itue children passed between the ccleumns of their comrades on either side, and laid at the feet of the Queen's beautiful boquets as a tribute of respect to her. The ceremony being eoncladed the children were arranged in a semi-circular manner about the ta-~ ble, which was laden with luxuries of every procurablo character, and each end of wbeautiful arch of garland’s chilghood seeming to rost pon it. This was done at the instanceof Mr Dwight, the Daguerrean of this place for tho purpose of getting a photographic, view of ascene so charming, but the “lights’ were some way wrong, and the attempt unfortunately proved abortive. ‘The collation came next, and this certainly sur~ passed any thing of the kind I ever saw before.

The ehildren gave themselves up to the sports to which their little hearts prompted them.
