In every popular _gévernment there will always be two parties —the ins and the outs—and they are quite “enough for all ordinary «purposes. England, ‘for a long time, has rejoiced in her Whigs \and Tories. The American Union, in its ‘early days, grew strong and fat under the nursings of its Federalists and Repubtieans, and continued to grow strong and fat under its Whigs and Democrats. What will become of it, now,under Northrons and Seuthrons, must be left to the future and-to Providence. But that 1s neither here nor there. California is, justnow, eurst with three political parties, and any one who habitually reads the legislative proceedings will, at once, acknowledge that it, is a bad thing. The present California legislature, with its Breckinridgers, its Douglasmen, and its Republicans, commenced its career,.as every: body supposed, with a vast opportunity be‘fore it of bemg beneficial to the state. The theory of the last fali’s campaign was that each of the three parties. who were struggling for power, had brought out their very best and most intellectual. men, as their legislative candidates, in order that their tickets might not be encumbered with unpopular rubbish: Such was the theory ; but the history.of the present legislature shows that “there must have been a mistake in the theozy; somewhere. There is not a newspaper, political or independent, in the state, that speaks approvingly of the present legislature. It is gibed at, jerred at, and, in every form of language, " gontemned and denounced: It may, with as “much truth as poetry, be said, there are “none so poor to do it reverence!” It is very possible that this is not so much the fault of the individual members. There may be a great many good and gifted men in the body—perhaps a large majority—but the unfortunate triangular partisanship, into which they have been thrown, would work injury in the wisest and best of convocations. ‘The displays of threatening turbalence, which marked the proceedings of the joifit convention which elected a U. S. Senator, last Tues-. day, if correctly reported in the Sacramento Union, (and there is no doubt they are,) were disgraceful, not merely to the legislature. but te the entire state. Tous it is a matter of supreme indifference who the U. 8. Senator is, so that he is a man capable of clearly understanding the interests of the state, with sufficient integrity and force of character to uphold and promote those interests. Plenty of such men, we presume, of all the three parties, may be found in the State; and, if such a man has not now been elevated to the Senatorship, the error must be laid at the door of partisan madness. It is to be hoped, however, that Mr. McDougall will prove himeelf all that his friends claim for him, and thus afford an instance, in his own person, of the truth of the old aphorism, that ‘good may come out of evil.” Itis probable that,as this election of Senator has affordeded the last opportunity for the three parties in the legislature to show their teeth, something of real utility may be now expected from-that body. Districts, for State Senators and Assemblymen, under the apportionment indicated by the recent cen"gus, ought to be arranged, and ‘the state requires to be divided into Congressional Districts, in order to conform to the laws of the United States. When these matters shall have been accomplshed, the next best thing the legislature can do is to adjourn. A ae Honey.—The production of honey in this State is increasing Very rapidly. Our elimate is peculiarly adapted, to the raising of ' bees, and we know of instatees, last year, where ten, twelve and even fifteen swarms were produeéd from a single hive. We see, according to the Surveyor Gener#l’s Report, 10,216 pounds of honey were produced io California during the year 1860. There are ‘7,646 hives of bees reported in the State. Upwards of six hundred bee hives are in successful operation mm Los Angeles county. A petition is being circulated in Boston asking Congress to consent to the secession of the Cotton States-on the ground that such @ course would prevent civil war and restore confidence in the business world, while a conquest of the revolted States would bring no benefits. to the country. % ee See et eee », Tae_Guurcy Miuit4nt.—In Marysville ‘thereiis 4 chureh, composed of members of Ethiopian descent, which, three years ago, ‘when We knew it, was a highly exemplary institution. ¢ seems, however, according to. the Marysville Democrat, of Wednesday, that an irrepressible schism now prevails in that once peaceful temple. The Democrat describes a row in that chutech, on the previous Sunday, as follows: There is a schism in the nority, On Sunday, as he was holding forth, -two or. three—of the “‘ sistering ”’ suddenly sprang up, (one of them exclaiming ‘ You’s preaching fulse doctrine !”) and, seizing him by the top of the head, dragged him out of the pulpit. One of them doubled up her fists with the view of sailing into him, but pausing in her wrath, said, ‘No, I wont use my fists; for that’s the devil’s work. I'll, use the word of God on him.” And with that she laid hold of the Bible and hammered it over his noggin with a vengeance. It wasn’t long before the male darkies interfered, and pro and cen there was such a time as the imagination may conceive of but the tongue eannot describe. -In the midst of the melee, Rey. Mr. Reese, (white preacher of the Baptists) arrived and commanded the peace. The ‘church militant’ then quieted, the schismatics retired, and Brother Randolph and his. minority were left in possession of the field.” [In the opinion of one individual, though Gov. Downey may be very potent in some things, there are certain elemental forces he can’t control. A young man, named Gosset, according to the Shasta Courier, was the teamster in charge of the wagon, lately mentioned as being struck by lightning, behis freight in Shasta, the goods were found to be considerably damaged. by the freaks of the electric fluid, and the consignee, who felt an+ noyed at their appearance, said : ‘“‘ Why, my good friend. you won't charge freight on these damaged goods, will you?” “Why not?” responded young Ajax, who successfully defied the lightning, ‘I couldn’thelp it—no man could have helped it—why, even Governor Downey couldn’t have saved the d—d stuff from that streak of lightning ” tr The Richmond Whig calls on the people of the Northern States to call Conventions and take action on the propositions of the Peace Conference. It is satisfied, if these be approved, that every one of the Gulf States will be back in the Union in a few years at farthest, and it ventures a predietion-that in nearly all these States a movement for reconstruction will soon be made, which will be pushed with such energy as to . insure its ultimate success. AN INCIDENT.—An exchange says: A lit tle incident transpired some weeks ago at one of our Frankfort hotels, which is worthy of notice. A little girl entered the bar-room, and in pitiful tones told the keeper that her mother had sent her @here to get eight cents. “Eight cents,” said the keeper. ‘Yes, sir.” “What does your mother want with eight cents !—I don’t owe her anything.” “Well,” said the child, “father spends all his) money here for rum, and we have had nothing to eat to-day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread.” A loafer remarked to the bar-keeper to “kick the brat out” “No,” said the keeper, “I'll give her the money, and if the father comes back again, I’ll kick him out.” CINNIBAR.—Large quantities of cinnibar Scott Valley. Mirrer, which has the appearance of being rich in quicksilver. A Wist YounG TuHInG.—In the Paris Court of Correctional Police, Tecentiy, a lady, by no means young, advanced coquettishly to the stand to give her testimony. What is your name? Virgine Loustatot. Your age? Twenty-five. [Exclamations of incredulity from the audience.} The lady’s evidence being taken, she regained her place, still coquettishly bridling ;.and the next witness was introdueed.

Feats oF a Steep-WALKER.—A very singular case of somnambulism, says the Au‘burn Heérald.’-oeeurred a few days ago at a place in Placer county. Mr. Mallenberg, a steady and industrious young man, was the subject. He-owns-a-mining elaim-—which he is engaged in drifting, and upon the night in question he imagined that a boulder was loose overhead ; so he hastily arose from his bed and endeavored to escape by passing through the door of his sleeping apartment, but in his hurry and anxiety to avoid the impending . danger, he-missed the fastening to the door and thinking that in another moment: the falling rock would erush him to atoms, he with one bound,cleared his partner’s bed and jumped through the witdow. In.escaping from the danger which his disordered mind had created, he met with another much more dangerous, which he did not forsee, which was no less than ‘terribly cutting with the glass’ one of his thighs and one hand and arm, besides sticking a piece of glass nearly two inches long into one of his feet. He is getting along finely, and yet it will be sometime before he is able to work again. Joun A. Dix.—This gentleman, who took the 'Freasury Departmont, under Buchanan, when Mr. Cobb lett it, and managed its affairs with great ability, on retiring from it called his late subordinates together and addressed them a patriotic speech. Among other pieces of advice he gave them is this: “I trust that no one within the range of my voice may forget that au Administration constitutionally formed is the Government. of the country, and that its Iabors for the public good, and its effurts at this juncture to restore harmony and confidence, should meet with # cordial and disinterested support. I did all I could to prevent it from coming into power ; but I consider ita duty to test it accomodations for 800 men while the draught of water is only two feet. tyr A young lady named Ellen Horgan expired at Marysville, on the Ist inst, whilst sitting-at-a sewing machine.

Mr. Mallenberg, a steady and industrious young man, was the subject. He-owns-a-mining elaim-—which he is engaged in drifting, and upon the night in question he imagined that a boulder was loose overhead ; so he hastily arose from his bed and endeavored to escape by passing through the door of his sleeping apartment, but in his hurry and anxiety to avoid the impending . danger, he-missed the fastening to the door and thinking that in another moment: the falling rock would erush him to atoms, he with one bound,cleared his partner’s bed and jumped through the witdow. In.escaping from the danger which his disordered mind had created, he met with another much more dangerous, which he did not forsee, which was no less than ‘terribly cutting with the glass’ one of his thighs and one hand and arm, besides sticking a piece of glass nearly two inches long into one of his feet.
