SN Che Hydraulic Lress, ‘North San Juan, October 27, 1860. EQUITABLE INDEBTEDNESS. It will be recollected that in 1856 the Su»preme Court of California declared the entire State debt uneonstitutional. This was virtually an act of repudiation. But the people were pot willing to rest under -such an im_ putation, and the first Legislature which convened afterwards, passed the act of April 28th, 1857, submitting to a vote of the people . the question whether they would not assume and pay three millions nine hundred thous. and dollars, which, it was supposed at the time, would cover the entire amount. The people did assume the payment of the debt, and the ‘State Treasurer proceeded, under the act, to issue bonds redeemable at his office on the first day of July, 1877, bearing ‘interest at the rate of 7 percent. per annum. It was found that the debt greatly exceeded the amount voted upon. Some of it was st.ll outstanding in the shape of repudiated ‘bonds, after the sum of three millions nine hundred thousand dollars had-been exhausted,and some in the form of equitable inGebtedness—that is, of State scrip, audited and unaudited claims—which could not be paid until acknowledged and assumed by a second -vote-of the people. That vote you will be called upon to give on the 6th day of November next. The act of the last Legislature providing for the funding and payment of the debt still outstanding, submits the sum of two hundred thousand-dollars to a vote of the people, for which, if assumed, ‘bonds will be issued redeemable on the Ist of July 1880, bearing interest the same as the funded debt already ajluded to, and which, in both cases, is to be paid semi-annually—on the first of .Sanuary and July of each year—at the office of the State Treasurer. This is the whole story. It would be useless to inquire whether the debt, or any portiou; of it, was legally contracted. The people selected the agents who fastened it upon them; and according to our ideas of ‘equity and justice—leaving the tecbnicalities -of law entirely out of the question—they ‘are in honor bound to assume and pey it. Set sieee Rasa eee Potitical Confidence. Just previous:to an election tbe politicians . ‘become remarkably sanguine. Every crumb of good news received, is magnified into the proportions of a mountain. The man who happens to be on the weak-side, feéls—or ‘pretends to feel—quite as confident as be. ‘who knows himself in the majority. This is the amusing style in which they vaunt. The Nevada Democrat, a Douglas paper, asserts: “We have the most positive assurances, from sources entirely reliable, that the popular current is constantly increasing for Douglas and Johnson. And here is what the Mountain Democrat (a Breckenridge sheet,) of the 20th inst., iprofessed to believe: “The Black Republicans have conceded the election of Foster, in Pennsylvania, by an overwhelming majority, as a foregone conclusion.— Indeed, the news from all quarters of the country is most cheering to the Democracy.” The Marysville Appeal, a Republican organ, says: “The gram hope of every California Repubtican now is, to have this State cast her vote for the coming man. We believed, before the news arrived from Pennsylvania and Indiana, that she would do it, and gave plausible grounds for such belief. The moral influence of those elections will now render it certain.” What is: the neophyte to do, where there issuch acontrariety of opinions, who, in acting with a political party for the first time, is anxious to identify himself with the strongest side? The socks have been knocked off the Placerville man, so far, at least, as his prophecy related to Pennsylvania; but, on general principles, in another part of the same issue, he seeks to encourage the followers of Me. Breckenridge, by exclaiming— “Let our brethren throughout the State lift up their voices with one scale and rejoice—for the day of redemption from the dangers which encompass this fair country, at the hands of bigotry, intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism, is at hand.” Here, at least, is encouragement. We are all in favor of the extermination of ‘ bigotry, intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism,” let whoever may be elected President. This is politics, and—bosh { an Mi SAS . “What effeet the news from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, will have on the spirits of our California politicians, is a something we can tell a few days hence better than we can to-day.”— Nevada Transcript. The effect is already apparent. Some of those who gave a lukewarm support to one or other of the opposing candidates, hare fallen into the Republican ranks. There are from five to ten thousand floating votes in the State; and should the next Pony arrival announce some unexpected victory for Breckenridge, Douglas, or Bell, at least one half the number would veer round like a weathcock, to the influence of a capricious gale. These are the chaps who like to be counted “in” on the winning side. — Supremus Jupce.—The Grass Valley National urges the appointment of John R. McConnell to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, in the event that Judge Baldwin resigns. This makes five out of the six papers published in Nevada county, representing all complexions of public opinion, which have recommended Mr. McConnel! for the place. The people of the county want him there. (7 We_ had the pleasure of shaking our old and esteemed friend Fred. Getzler, of Marysville, by the hand other day. He was on a short jaunt of. , health and observation to the mountain region, Which, he says, has remunerated beyond his most extravagant expectations. Se "FHE MONSTER MONOPOLY. Who will pretend t0 say that the American people are not long-suffering, and patient to a lamb-like degree, under provocations which are cdtculated to chafe the spirit, if not arouse it to actual revolution. For'years they have permitted a monstrous steamship monopoly to rob them, abuse their comfort, maltreat their persons, and endanger their lives, without resorting to means of redress. The law of Congress seems powerless to correct these outrages; the remonstrances of the traveling public have not succeeded in abating them. The shameles swindles and abuses still go on, and the public continue to endure. We find, that-ithongh expressly forbidden to carry more than a specified number of passengers, ‘according to ‘their tonnage and capacity, these steamships .transcend the restriction in a double, tréble, and-quadruple degree. Cabin passengers are'reecived on beard under promises:of comforts to’ be provided, which-premises are violated so soon as the vessels get cleverly out ‘to sea. The. places appropriated for steerage passengers, are given up to cattle, sheep and swine. This class ef innocent and cemparably defenceless people, are the worst imposed upon and misused of all. From the humility of their position, they are not even privileged to complain; or should they do so, expose themselves to be placed in irons,'or leveled to the deck by a blow from a bludgeon in the hands of some brutal officer. Tf the law affords no-satisfaction in such cases—if ‘the -steamship proprietors knowingly and wilfully violate’the law, and thus place themselves outside 'the'pale df its protection—who could blame the ‘man, or sett of men, who ‘would -undertake to protect themselves by a-summary enforcement of their rights ‘by the strong arm of self-constituted and self-exercised power. It has often been a-matter-of surprise'to us—a peaceable citizen; one who despises mobs and unruly assemblages of any and every kind, ‘where there are good laws, and regularly constituted authorities to enforce. them—how human nature could tamely submit to such-eutrages. And they are-multiplying and growing worse every dey. The ships, which were formerly approved for their capacity, speed and safety, have been generally supplanted by miserable tubs, unseaworthy, filthy and cramped in the nature of their accommodations. No effort is made to secure short voyages—no spirit of generous courtesy exhibited by the officers—the whole idea of the céncern appears to be founded upon a stupendous project of money-making, and in the greedy pursuit of this object, human comfert, pleasure, and even life itself, will 'be sacrificed whenever occasion may require. As an evidence that we speak by the:caré, we quote from an article just published in the shape of a remonstrance, signed by a portion of the cabin passengers who, a few ‘weeks ago, sailed from New York to Aspinwall on the ‘ship Ariel, of the Vanderbilt line. Among the nanres appended to it, we find those of John Curry, Paul Morrill, E W. McKinstry, Austin E. Smith, Jacob Ish and L. Wertheimer, respectable gentlemen, well known to most of the people of California. Here are a couple of extracts from their bill of complaint, viz: On leaving New York, it soon sqbenved that of the number of passengers aboard, about 160 had first cabin tickets and about 160 second cabin tickets, whilst the number of steerage passengers embraced over one hundred, and that the space usually allotted to the latter, on the deck of the ship, was encumbered with sheep, horses, etc. Without any consultation with the first cabin passengers, many of whom had anticipated their period of departure from New York, in order to avail themselves of first-class accommodation with limited numbers, the second cabin passengers were crowded in -the quarters of the first ; and owing to the employment of the room usually allotted to baggage with freight, every conceivable space on the single deck possessed by the ship, became crowded with passengers of every description, and their baggage. e. Se! te Se” @ Te A clean table-cloth was a rarity; and ice, except at meal times, a luxury which might be bought, but could not be begged ; whilst the a visions for the voyage—to sum all in a few words— whether. reference be had to the quality of the food or its mode of preparation, and the general eqipment of the table, composed of the odds and ends of old steamboat furniture, was unquallifiediy abominable, and unworthy a flatboat, in the vas: history of our country. And thus have been, throughout the voyage to Aspinwall, the entire accommodations on board. Filth, and neglect of all cleanliness, have been the prevalent characteristics in the management of the ship. Water for the steerage was often obtained from a pump located on the only deck allotted to cabin passengers; and hour after hour—and often minnte after minute—were er annoyed by half-clothed menials, traversing the limited space allowed them, with buckets of water, leaking and splashing in every direction. Everything appeared to be directed by an eye to parsimony, andthe comfort of the passenger the last thing considered. Anxious to form an acquaintance ‘with the officers of the ship, we have experienced difficulty in finding any except the captain. The first offieer has been invisible since the first day, owing, as we learn, to a fit of intoxication; while the combined duties of ba master, physician, purser and chaplain, (ata salary of $50 r month!) all concentrated in one individual ave rendered him a myth, whom none could loeate, and none could find when he was wanted. Fortunately a kind Providence watched over us, or the inconsistency of the same individual being sought by one passenger for a trunk, and another for relief from a fit of colic, or to disburse pork and beans tothe cook, and to administer the consolations of religion to a dying passen r, at one and the same time, might have been veloped. a ay EpMcuND RANDOLPH’s PAMPHLET.—We have received, with the compliments of the author, an address, in pamphlet form, “on the history of California, from the discovery of the country to the year 1849, delivered before the society of California Pioneers, at their celebration of the tenth anniversary of the admission of the State of California into the Union, by Edmund Randolph, Esq.” We have not yet had time to peruse Mr. Randolph’s elaborate narrative, but are well satisfied, from the comments of the press, and the well-known intellectual reputation of the author, that it must be a complete and elegantexposition . of the interesting subject upon which it treats. ~ iceaiceineneaaseaitalarenpiamremmrenmenenunpncenmaeaanaminmatmmndammaaeaan The Painting Art.

Owing to sévere indisposition, which utterly precludes ‘fie from visting you at your respective precincts, atid thus conversing with you face to face, I am forced to the necessity of addressing you by card, to make known to you my views . upon matters and things which now agitate the now in the State a small painting executed seen the French dance known, we believe, . Public mind. by Rubens, one of the-great tasters of “tie printing art. 5 ‘Withall' due retpéct’to‘the opinion of bur cotemporary, we wish to say, as one’who admires tbe practical—even as connected with the beautiful—that there is nvthing so very surprising in this announcement, if it should prove true beyond a peradventure. We have, in our lifetime, seen several paintings said to be the work of the great—the incomparable—the divine masters. Enthusiasts venerated them, and interested parties extolled their merits to the skies ; but to our vision, they bore a striking resemblance to a half-developed daguerreotype, or the picture on the paper cover of an old-fashioned parlor fire-beard. The images were obscure from exeess of shadow, and the colors had ‘the appearance-of being daubed rather than painted on the canvas. “Who would fora moment think of pro nouncing such productions superior, if they had the names of Smith or Jones appended, instead of Rubens or Michael Angelo ? The modern artist—and ‘we assert it with a full knowledge of the pity which will be excited in-some quarters for-our lack of appreciation—the modern artist, we say, has accomplished more wonders, imparted more sublimity to the canvas, arrived at a gtédter degree of perfection in the paititing art, than all your Rubens, Rembrandts, Vandycks, Titians and Michael Angélos combined. ‘Tf they ‘have'no frescos'on Vatican walis to exhibit, they have landscapes, ‘historical characters and events, ‘birds, beasts, fishes, fruits, and countless varieties of the human form and face, drawn and personated with such accuracy as to defy better workmanship— either in cotrect-delineation, classical grouping, truthful coldring or life-ltke expression. ‘We have, in our generation, Sully, West, Stewart, Harding, Cogswell, ‘OMicer, Nalil, Tidball, and ‘hunéreds of others—some of them ndt yet artived:at'the culminating point of their fame—whom it 'might ‘be considered profane to compare with the German and Italian ‘tmasters; but we do ‘it ‘fexilessly, and in the candid belief, that if other intelligent minds were divested ‘of their prejudice—or we might rather say, of that false sentinten tality which is received on trust from tourists and book-makers—and would judge dispassionately between the two separate schools of art, they would not hesitate to form and express the same opinion. Give us the painting that is animated, warm, taellow, and striking in all its details of finish—none of your dusky affairs, with an-eye, a nose, a finger or a foot protruding, and the balance of the painting so deeply obscured, that the design of the artist becomes purely a matter of conjecture. In time—when antiquities are esteemed for their intrinsic worth, and the lovers of art generally, form opinions for themselves, instead of playing the part of Echo to the erroneous pronouncings of others—it will be discovered that in sothing—not even the art of painting—have those who went before us been able to produce anything that would compare successfully with the eliminations of modern genius. a gg ae a Lota Monrez.—The people of Nevada county, among whom Lola once resided, have a vivid remembrance of many of her eccentricities. She was then faded in beauty and depraved in morals; but bad all the fire of a towering and restless ambition. She had but a short time previously succeeded in humbiing and depraving Pat. full, who, before ke became acquainted with and married her, was regarded as one of the most excellent gentiemen in the State. Subsequently, and while she made her home at Grass Yal ley, another gentleman became her dupe and humble servitor, whom she fleeced and afterwards abandoned—a just punishment for the folly and crime to which he lent himself as a party, when he consented to become the ministering satellite of so notoriously heartless an adventurer. Read what this woman has come to. The retribution of Heaven has at last overtaken her. An Eastern paper says :— “She is stopping at Astoria, (Long Island, New York,) with a kind friend; but, alas! in what a condition of body and mind! She is not exactly an imbecile, and yet, what term will more clearly express her mental helplessness? Physically, she ts an invalid of amelancholy description. A female friend of mine saw hera day or two ago, and it was enough to make one’s heart bleed, to note her picturesque limnings of the won derfully changed woman. Lola was dressed in a half-night, half-mornimg rebe, and sat ina pretty garden, her hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and cadeverous complexion, forming a remarkable contrast to the gay flowers. She was unable to utter an intelligible word, except spasmodically, and after repeated efforts. Her mouth was frothing, like that of one in partial convulsions, and she was unconsciously wiping it, as little boys do, by drawing the sleeve of ber dress across it. In fact, she had the strange, wild appearance and behavior of a quiet idiot, and is evidently lost to all further interest in the world and its affairs around her. And so ends her eventful bistory. What a study for the brilliant and thoughtless! What a sermon on human vanity!” (CP Briggs, the great peach-orchard man, near Marysville, realised from the sale of fruits, during the season which has just closed, the handas the “Can-can.” It is entirely allowable for the gentleman to shuffie on one foot, on . his Knees, to throw a Somerset in the figure, leap over his partnér’s head, keep time to the music on his hands and feet, clasp the lady around the neck with an arm, and thus hép around With dne lég in tfe-promenade— to wriggle and contort himself into a ‘bundred ape-like positions—grimacing, chattering, and doing a-great variety of other outlandish things. The lady, on her part, is by no méxns idle. ‘She spins a, bows, courtsies, pirouettes, presents her lips to be kissed, and codtettishfy withdraws fhem— bends first to one side and then to the other, advances with a swiggtr, Wheéls suddenly, and gliding off, throws herself into the embraces of some gentleman belonging to another set. These sprightly proctedings are all executed to musical time, and so far eclipse the ‘Breakdown,’ or ‘Double-trouble,’ as it is called in’ Arkansas, that a professor of that accomplishment would feel ashamed to attempt it on the same evening with the difficult and tortuous ‘Can-can.’ eS ge Ee "PICKETT ON GWIN.—We are indebted to Mr. Charles E. Pickett, a gentleman of scholarly ability, ‘but abounding in eccentricities—for a copy of his paniphlet, which may properly be ‘termed a phillipic against Senator Gwin. The auther claims‘to’be of Southern birth and proclivities, favorable to a-dissolution of the Union, and -avows -his intention of voting for Lincoln and Hamlin, in the hope of precipitating that event. -A brief extract will give the reader a pretty good idea of the general ‘tenor of the work. fn one place he says, addressing ‘himself ‘directly to Mr. Gwin— “And none more'than ‘yotifself ‘have aided in ‘this Nepotism ; as, ‘witness the ‘jmipo?tdtidn atid quartering at the public crib in ‘Califortiia of so many degenerate scions of illustrious houses, mostly from SouthermStates. But not'trpon the Federal funds alone do you batten all these cormorant retainers. ‘Ithas been through means of this or#iinised despottt syst®m that you and your satellites have been enabled ‘to thwart the free action and smotker the voiée of ‘the people, in choosing all our State officials, evén ‘forthe most inferior posts; which vile system has so much tended'to demvtalize the whole body politic, and ‘destroy ‘the independence atid manhood of aii seeking preferment, and willing at length to accede to such humiliating ‘terms, as the only channel to success; atthe same 'time keeping in the back-grourd afl persons who have been too proud to place ithem‘selves in abject fealty to the behests of you unscruptilous leaders.” ee RES SEs $0e a THE COUNTY.

IN the District Court, last Saturday,27 persons were naturalized, and will be entitled to yote at . the next election. Dave ASHMORE has opened a cheap place of amusement in Nevada, called the Melodeon, and has a very good company engaged. JoHN HERSINGER, an insolvent debtor, was discharged from his debts in the District Court last Saturday. The above items are gleaned from the Democrat of the 20th. Fire anv Loss or Lire.—Saturday evening, about 74 o’clock, a fire broke outin a small frame dwelling on Washington street, occupied by Mrs. Maria Smith, and was quickly consumed. The body of Mrs. Smith, horribly burned, was found amid the ruins.—Monday’s Transcript. ROBBERY AT ALPHA.—On Friday last, Mr. Daniel Lavary, a miner of that locality, was robbed of $1000, gsc, Sagury time previously, he had buried in the cellar of his cabin. About the same time, the cabin of Mr. John Crocker, of Alpha, was broken open and ransacked, but the robber or robbers fownd but few valuables.—Ib. The Republicans of Nevada fired a salute last Monday night, in honor of their recent victories. Serious AcciIDENT—Mr. Wm.

SN Che Hydraulic Lress, ‘North San Juan, October 27, 1860. EQUITABLE INDEBTEDNESS. It will be recollected that in 1856 the Su»preme Court of California declared the entire State debt uneonstitutional. This was virtually an act of repudiation. But the people were pot willing to rest under -such an im_ putation, and the first Legislature which convened afterwards, passed the act of April 28th, 1857, submitting to a vote of the people . the question whether they would not assume and pay three millions nine hundred thous. and dollars, which, it was supposed at the time, would cover the entire amount. The people did assume the payment of the debt, and the ‘State Treasurer proceeded, under the act, to issue bonds redeemable at his office on the first day of July, 1877, bearing ‘interest at the rate of 7 percent. per annum. It was found that the debt greatly exceeded the amount voted upon. Some of it was st.ll outstanding in the shape of repudiated ‘bonds, after the sum of three millions nine hundred thousand dollars had-been exhausted,and some in the form of equitable inGebtedness—that is, of State scrip, audited and unaudited claims—which could not be paid until acknowledged and assumed by a second -vote-of the people. That vote you will be called upon to give on the 6th day of November next. The act of the last Legislature providing for the funding and payment of the debt still outstanding, submits the sum of two hundred thousand-dollars to a vote of the people, for which, if assumed, ‘bonds will be issued redeemable on the Ist of July 1880, bearing interest the same as the funded debt already ajluded to, and which, in both cases, is to be paid semi-annually—on the first of .Sanuary and July of each year—at the office of the State Treasurer. This is the whole story. It would be useless to inquire whether the debt, or any portiou; of it, was legally contracted. The people selected the agents who fastened it upon them; and according to our ideas of ‘equity and justice—leaving the tecbnicalities -of law entirely out of the question—they ‘are in honor bound to assume and pey it. Set sieee Rasa eee Potitical Confidence. Just previous:to an election tbe politicians . ‘become remarkably sanguine. Every crumb of good news received, is magnified into the proportions of a mountain. The man who happens to be on the weak-side, feéls—or ‘pretends to feel—quite as confident as be. ‘who knows himself in the majority. This is the amusing style in which they vaunt. The Nevada Democrat, a Douglas paper, asserts: “We have the most positive assurances, from sources entirely reliable, that the popular current is constantly increasing for Douglas and Johnson. And here is what the Mountain Democrat (a Breckenridge sheet,) of the 20th inst., iprofessed to believe: “The Black Republicans have conceded the election of Foster, in Pennsylvania, by an overwhelming majority, as a foregone conclusion.— Indeed, the news from all quarters of the country is most cheering to the Democracy.” The Marysville Appeal, a Republican organ, says: “The gram hope of every California Repubtican now is, to have this State cast her vote for the coming man. We believed, before the news arrived from Pennsylvania and Indiana, that she would do it, and gave plausible grounds for such belief. The moral influence of those elections will now render it certain.” What is: the neophyte to do, where there issuch acontrariety of opinions, who, in acting with a political party for the first time, is anxious to identify himself with the strongest side? The socks have been knocked off the Placerville man, so far, at least, as his prophecy related to Pennsylvania; but, on general principles, in another part of the same issue, he seeks to encourage the followers of Me. Breckenridge, by exclaiming— “Let our brethren throughout the State lift up their voices with one scale and rejoice—for the day of redemption from the dangers which encompass this fair country, at the hands of bigotry, intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism, is at hand.” Here, at least, is encouragement. We are all in favor of the extermination of ‘ bigotry, intolerance, fanaticism and demagoguism,” let whoever may be elected President. This is politics, and—bosh { an Mi SAS . “What effeet the news from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, will have on the spirits of our California politicians, is a something we can tell a few days hence better than we can to-day.”— Nevada Transcript. The effect is already apparent. Some of those who gave a lukewarm support to one or other of the opposing candidates, hare fallen into the Republican ranks. There are from five to ten thousand floating votes in the State; and should the next Pony arrival announce some unexpected victory for Breckenridge, Douglas, or Bell, at least one half the number would veer round like a weathcock, to the influence of a capricious gale. These are the chaps who like to be counted “in” on the winning side. — Supremus Jupce.—The Grass Valley National urges the appointment of John R. McConnell to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Bench, in the event that Judge Baldwin resigns. This makes five out of the six papers published in Nevada county, representing all complexions of public opinion, which have recommended Mr. McConnel! for the place. The people of the county want him there. (7 We_ had the pleasure of shaking our old and esteemed friend Fred. Getzler, of Marysville, by the hand other day. He was on a short jaunt of. , health and observation to the mountain region, Which, he says, has remunerated beyond his most extravagant expectations. Se "FHE MONSTER MONOPOLY. Who will pretend t0 say that the American people are not long-suffering, and patient to a lamb-like degree, under provocations which are cdtculated to chafe the spirit, if not arouse it to actual revolution. For'years they have permitted a monstrous steamship monopoly to rob them, abuse their comfort, maltreat their persons, and endanger their lives, without resorting to means of redress. The law of Congress seems powerless to correct these outrages; the remonstrances of the traveling public have not succeeded in abating them. The shameles swindles and abuses still go on, and the public continue to endure. We find, that-ithongh expressly forbidden to carry more than a specified number of passengers, ‘according to ‘their tonnage and capacity, these steamships .transcend the restriction in a double, tréble, and-quadruple degree. Cabin passengers are'reecived on beard under promises:of comforts to’ be provided, which-premises are violated so soon as the vessels get cleverly out ‘to sea. The. places appropriated for steerage passengers, are given up to cattle, sheep and swine. This class ef innocent and cemparably defenceless people, are the worst imposed upon and misused of all. From the humility of their position, they are not even privileged to complain; or should they do so, expose themselves to be placed in irons,'or leveled to the deck by a blow from a bludgeon in the hands of some brutal officer. Tf the law affords no-satisfaction in such cases—if ‘the -steamship proprietors knowingly and wilfully violate’the law, and thus place themselves outside 'the'pale df its protection—who could blame the ‘man, or sett of men, who ‘would -undertake to protect themselves by a-summary enforcement of their rights ‘by the strong arm of self-constituted and self-exercised power. It has often been a-matter-of surprise'to us—a peaceable citizen; one who despises mobs and unruly assemblages of any and every kind, ‘where there are good laws, and regularly constituted authorities to enforce. them—how human nature could tamely submit to such-eutrages. And they are-multiplying and growing worse every dey. The ships, which were formerly approved for their capacity, speed and safety, have been generally supplanted by miserable tubs, unseaworthy, filthy and cramped in the nature of their accommodations. No effort is made to secure short voyages—no spirit of generous courtesy exhibited by the officers—the whole idea of the céncern appears to be founded upon a stupendous project of money-making, and in the greedy pursuit of this object, human comfert, pleasure, and even life itself, will 'be sacrificed whenever occasion may require. As an evidence that we speak by the:caré, we quote from an article just published in the shape of a remonstrance, signed by a portion of the cabin passengers who, a few ‘weeks ago, sailed from New York to Aspinwall on the ‘ship Ariel, of the Vanderbilt line. Among the nanres appended to it, we find those of John Curry, Paul Morrill, E W. McKinstry, Austin E. Smith, Jacob Ish and L. Wertheimer, respectable gentlemen, well known to most of the people of California. Here are a couple of extracts from their bill of complaint, viz: On leaving New York, it soon sqbenved that of the number of passengers aboard, about 160 had first cabin tickets and about 160 second cabin tickets, whilst the number of steerage passengers embraced over one hundred, and that the space usually allotted to the latter, on the deck of the ship, was encumbered with sheep, horses, etc. Without any consultation with the first cabin passengers, many of whom had anticipated their period of departure from New York, in order to avail themselves of first-class accommodation with limited numbers, the second cabin passengers were crowded in -the quarters of the first ; and owing to the employment of the room usually allotted to baggage with freight, every conceivable space on the single deck possessed by the ship, became crowded with passengers of every description, and their baggage. e. Se! te Se” @ Te A clean table-cloth was a rarity; and ice, except at meal times, a luxury which might be bought, but could not be begged ; whilst the a visions for the voyage—to sum all in a few words— whether. reference be had to the quality of the food or its mode of preparation, and the general eqipment of the table, composed of the odds and ends of old steamboat furniture, was unquallifiediy abominable, and unworthy a flatboat, in the vas: history of our country. And thus have been, throughout the voyage to Aspinwall, the entire accommodations on board. Filth, and neglect of all cleanliness, have been the prevalent characteristics in the management of the ship. Water for the steerage was often obtained from a pump located on the only deck allotted to cabin passengers; and hour after hour—and often minnte after minute—were er annoyed by half-clothed menials, traversing the limited space allowed them, with buckets of water, leaking and splashing in every direction. Everything appeared to be directed by an eye to parsimony, andthe comfort of the passenger the last thing considered. Anxious to form an acquaintance ‘with the officers of the ship, we have experienced difficulty in finding any except the captain. The first offieer has been invisible since the first day, owing, as we learn, to a fit of intoxication; while the combined duties of ba master, physician, purser and chaplain, (ata salary of $50 r month!) all concentrated in one individual ave rendered him a myth, whom none could loeate, and none could find when he was wanted. Fortunately a kind Providence watched over us, or the inconsistency of the same individual being sought by one passenger for a trunk, and another for relief from a fit of colic, or to disburse pork and beans tothe cook, and to administer the consolations of religion to a dying passen r, at one and the same time, might have been veloped. a ay EpMcuND RANDOLPH’s PAMPHLET.—We have received, with the compliments of the author, an address, in pamphlet form, “on the history of California, from the discovery of the country to the year 1849, delivered before the society of California Pioneers, at their celebration of the tenth anniversary of the admission of the State of California into the Union, by Edmund Randolph, Esq.” We have not yet had time to peruse Mr. Randolph’s elaborate narrative, but are well satisfied, from the comments of the press, and the well-known intellectual reputation of the author, that it must be a complete and elegantexposition . of the interesting subject upon which it treats. ~ iceaiceineneaaseaitalarenpiamremmrenmenenunpncenmaeaanaminmatmmndammaaeaan The Painting Art.

Owing to sévere indisposition, which utterly precludes ‘fie from visting you at your respective precincts, atid thus conversing with you face to face, I am forced to the necessity of addressing you by card, to make known to you my views . upon matters and things which now agitate the now in the State a small painting executed seen the French dance known, we believe, . Public mind. by Rubens, one of the-great tasters of “tie printing art. 5 ‘Withall' due retpéct’to‘the opinion of bur cotemporary, we wish to say, as one’who admires tbe practical—even as connected with the beautiful—that there is nvthing so very surprising in this announcement, if it should prove true beyond a peradventure. We have, in our lifetime, seen several paintings said to be the work of the great—the incomparable—the divine masters. Enthusiasts venerated them, and interested parties extolled their merits to the skies ; but to our vision, they bore a striking resemblance to a half-developed daguerreotype, or the picture on the paper cover of an old-fashioned parlor fire-beard. The images were obscure from exeess of shadow, and the colors had ‘the appearance-of being daubed rather than painted on the canvas. “Who would fora moment think of pro nouncing such productions superior, if they had the names of Smith or Jones appended, instead of Rubens or Michael Angelo ? The modern artist—and ‘we assert it with a full knowledge of the pity which will be excited in-some quarters for-our lack of appreciation—the modern artist, we say, has accomplished more wonders, imparted more sublimity to the canvas, arrived at a gtédter degree of perfection in the paititing art, than all your Rubens, Rembrandts, Vandycks, Titians and Michael Angélos combined. ‘Tf they ‘have'no frescos'on Vatican walis to exhibit, they have landscapes, ‘historical characters and events, ‘birds, beasts, fishes, fruits, and countless varieties of the human form and face, drawn and personated with such accuracy as to defy better workmanship— either in cotrect-delineation, classical grouping, truthful coldring or life-ltke expression. ‘We have, in our generation, Sully, West, Stewart, Harding, Cogswell, ‘OMicer, Nalil, Tidball, and ‘hunéreds of others—some of them ndt yet artived:at'the culminating point of their fame—whom it 'might ‘be considered profane to compare with the German and Italian ‘tmasters; but we do ‘it ‘fexilessly, and in the candid belief, that if other intelligent minds were divested ‘of their prejudice—or we might rather say, of that false sentinten tality which is received on trust from tourists and book-makers—and would judge dispassionately between the two separate schools of art, they would not hesitate to form and express the same opinion. Give us the painting that is animated, warm, taellow, and striking in all its details of finish—none of your dusky affairs, with an-eye, a nose, a finger or a foot protruding, and the balance of the painting so deeply obscured, that the design of the artist becomes purely a matter of conjecture. In time—when antiquities are esteemed for their intrinsic worth, and the lovers of art generally, form opinions for themselves, instead of playing the part of Echo to the erroneous pronouncings of others—it will be discovered that in sothing—not even the art of painting—have those who went before us been able to produce anything that would compare successfully with the eliminations of modern genius. a gg ae a Lota Monrez.—The people of Nevada county, among whom Lola once resided, have a vivid remembrance of many of her eccentricities. She was then faded in beauty and depraved in morals; but bad all the fire of a towering and restless ambition. She had but a short time previously succeeded in humbiing and depraving Pat. full, who, before ke became acquainted with and married her, was regarded as one of the most excellent gentiemen in the State. Subsequently, and while she made her home at Grass Yal ley, another gentleman became her dupe and humble servitor, whom she fleeced and afterwards abandoned—a just punishment for the folly and crime to which he lent himself as a party, when he consented to become the ministering satellite of so notoriously heartless an adventurer. Read what this woman has come to. The retribution of Heaven has at last overtaken her. An Eastern paper says :— “She is stopping at Astoria, (Long Island, New York,) with a kind friend; but, alas! in what a condition of body and mind! She is not exactly an imbecile, and yet, what term will more clearly express her mental helplessness? Physically, she ts an invalid of amelancholy description. A female friend of mine saw hera day or two ago, and it was enough to make one’s heart bleed, to note her picturesque limnings of the won derfully changed woman. Lola was dressed in a half-night, half-mornimg rebe, and sat ina pretty garden, her hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, and cadeverous complexion, forming a remarkable contrast to the gay flowers. She was unable to utter an intelligible word, except spasmodically, and after repeated efforts. Her mouth was frothing, like that of one in partial convulsions, and she was unconsciously wiping it, as little boys do, by drawing the sleeve of ber dress across it. In fact, she had the strange, wild appearance and behavior of a quiet idiot, and is evidently lost to all further interest in the world and its affairs around her. And so ends her eventful bistory. What a study for the brilliant and thoughtless! What a sermon on human vanity!” (CP Briggs, the great peach-orchard man, near Marysville, realised from the sale of fruits, during the season which has just closed, the handas the “Can-can.” It is entirely allowable for the gentleman to shuffie on one foot, on . his Knees, to throw a Somerset in the figure, leap over his partnér’s head, keep time to the music on his hands and feet, clasp the lady around the neck with an arm, and thus hép around With dne lég in tfe-promenade— to wriggle and contort himself into a ‘bundred ape-like positions—grimacing, chattering, and doing a-great variety of other outlandish things. The lady, on her part, is by no méxns idle. ‘She spins a, bows, courtsies, pirouettes, presents her lips to be kissed, and codtettishfy withdraws fhem— bends first to one side and then to the other, advances with a swiggtr, Wheéls suddenly, and gliding off, throws herself into the embraces of some gentleman belonging to another set. These sprightly proctedings are all executed to musical time, and so far eclipse the ‘Breakdown,’ or ‘Double-trouble,’ as it is called in’ Arkansas, that a professor of that accomplishment would feel ashamed to attempt it on the same evening with the

difficult and tortuous ‘Can-can.’ eS ge Ee "PICKETT ON GWIN.—We are indebted to Mr. Charles E. Pickett, a gentleman of scholarly ability, ‘but abounding in eccentricities—for a copy of his paniphlet, which may properly be ‘termed a phillipic against Senator Gwin. The auther claims‘to’be of Southern birth and proclivities, favorable to a-dissolution of the Union, and -avows -his intention of voting for Lincoln and Hamlin, in the hope of precipitating that event. -A brief extract will give the reader a pretty good idea of the general ‘tenor of the work. fn one place he says, addressing ‘himself ‘directly to Mr. Gwin— “And none more'than ‘yotifself ‘have aided in ‘this Nepotism ; as, ‘witness the ‘jmipo?tdtidn atid quartering at the public crib in ‘Califortiia of so many degenerate scions of illustrious houses, mostly from SouthermStates.
