Coin—hard dollars—they have not “felt the roughness of” since the days of atild lang syne.idee? al There are good reasons for the disappear ance of the precious metals from;sight in the ‘industrious people of countries ravaged by robbers learn cau* tion and conceal their valaables out of the reach of the bandits; and besides, in the South, the sensible part of the population are either certain of the collapse of the confederate government, or fear it, and are not _going to let slip their silver and gold for paper that will not be worth o farthing a ream ina few months to come. The fears of what is to come drive coin from the sight of the ‘rebels, and cénipelied them to resort to shinplasters morths ago for purposes of exchange. In Movember last rill the rebel States except those near the free border line were flooded with shinptusters~ of denominations. of from five to fifty cents, and these issues had tobe sanctioned by the local governments _ from thé yory necessities of the people.

While the ‘people of the North, rich and poor, come forward with alacrity and loan their money to the Goverament, the Legislatures of the Southern States are obliged to authorize the issuance of insignificant shinplasters for amall “change—every body fearing to part with ahalf dime lest he may be destined never -to look upon the like again. The proposition was mooted in the Tennesseo Legislature last fall to allow bankers to divide their bills into fractional parte, representing quarters and halves, for the rehef of the trading community, and finally a bill passed authorizing the State bank to ‘iswue tickets te represent small change and these are scattered over the land, thick as leaves by Valambrosa's brooks.

It must be so. He says so himself. Whatever his werd may have been werth before, we suppose it will have to be taken now, that he has a religion.

A chap in this office tells wir excelient story similar to the abave and swears it ia true: The whooping cough_has been about here plentifully. Kvery lady has some story to tell about the disease, and some specific for it, One lady related to her neighbor whose ehildren were afflicted with the whoops, that somehow, strange us it might seem, neither she ver any of her family could ever take the disease though they bad been repeatedly exposed; whereat all marvelled. The ehat went on. After a while, specifics for the whooping cough was the subject. The old lady who was whooping cough proof, ‘told of a few excellent remedies ; “but’’ said she, “the best thing for the whooping cough is a voyage -on_-sult_water.

But the time 18 short. Three weeks more is all the time allowed in which to do more legislation than has been done in two months of ‘the first part of the session ending at the present moment; and unless the members take hold more earnestly than heretofore, a great deal must go undone or the session be prolonged greatly to the disgust of the tax payers of the State. Somehow there seems to be a want of dispatch in the proceedings of the Legislature or else the Honorable Solons are not correctly represented by the reporters. However, it is almost always thé case that time is required to familiarize new men with their duties, and that few Legislatures accomplish much during the first half of a session. The great difficulty with California Legislatures has been, that too few of the old membere whose experience teaches them how to go to work in the commencement of a seasion are reelected. The plan of rotation in office is not, to say the least, an economical one, all other considerations being equal. The present Legislature is possessed of honesty, and talent equal to any of. it predecessors, but it is compesed principally of new men who have seen nothing of legislative life, and it is not competent to mature and dispatch business equal to those more experienced in legislation. It is to be earnestly hoped that the more important billa of the session are fully matured in the committee rooms, and that little discuseion will be needed upon them when they come up on their passage, else we may expect 4 prolonged, expensive, and comparatively profitless session.

Somehow, there is such a kindly taking to office among Democrats that no Governor of the stripe can go out of office: leaving a va~ cancy however insignificant. Gov. Bigler on going out-of office filled even every military position-with « partisan of dis atid in cases 0; Notaries Public who hold their offices twoyears, he is accused of having procured res ignations from officers whose term would nvon expire in order to give a new appointee a berth for two years, or. during the entire term of his succexsor—not recognizing there= by the cardinal maxim of the Demoeracy “to the victors belong the spoils.” Whether Gov. Bigler is guilty of this little piece of political engineering, we cannot positively say, but that he stepped every little official hole with Democrats—some of them on the morning he went out of office—will not be disputed. © Dowacey followed the precedent very near” ‘ly, if indeed he did not improve upon it in the way of unfairness. To have filled vacancies with his own friends, loyal men, would have been an overreaching act; but to take oceasion to foist disunioniste was outrageous. _ The bill now pending in jhe: Vaiiaiae: will probably oust Secessioniste in effect, and nothing more. “OUR SENATORS. — California has not been blessed with many representatives in the Senate of the United States in whom she-could confide. From her earliest history until now, she has had but two on whom she Gould _entirely reily—Broderick and Gwin. If any great quéstion of State or National import arose, our people always before action knew whichside the se men would take. They had the most absolute confidence that. Broderick would be found on the right side and Gwin on the wrong one.’ There was no debate as to how they would act and vete; but this cannot be said of any other California Senator. Fremont was there for» few weeks dnly. Weller never did anything of note, and none knew what course he would take until it was tuken ; and it is doubtful whether be himself had beforehand any idea of what he ought todo. Haun made'no mark, nor was he expected to ; as he was sent there only to keep Weller’s scat warm. Latham is so erratic and is dipping,so often, that no one knows where to find him until his head is seen “bobbing around ;”’ and he bobs so much on-both sides, that “now you see him and now you con't!” No party has any confidence in his stability, and it is more trouble to keep him in the plain straightforward track than itis worth. McDougall opened well, and has wot yet had a fair trial We can only hope that the public wilt not-be deceived in him ; but the confidence he had inspired begins to shake, tind none need be surprised if they hear any day that he, too, plays the weather vane. It is really humiliating to think that a great State like this has, and has had representatives in the highest branch of the National councils in whom the people canaot have implicit fuith.—Sae. Bee. Letters from Washington state that MeDougall intends to be about right, but that he-has scarcely drawn a sober breath since he arrived at the seat of Government. ce” The ex-King of Naples was, at one period, considered the greatest gourmand. ia the whole world. Not many years ago, he invented a particular kin of eonsome, for his own particular enjoyment, the mode of making which was as follews: * You take around of beef,” into which you introduce a round of veal, which, in its turn, serves as an envelope to a turkey, while inside the turkey lay a fowl, inside the fowl lay a pheasant, then a partridge, then a weedcock, then an ortolan, and last of all— what think you ?. Why, lest of all, just filling up the almost impossible small space, an an. chevy! Here lays the great art, and a certain famous cook, named Beppo, was the individual whose special business it was.to send up the King, once a day, the pheguomial teacupfull of gravy produced, as the above-mentionthonee cook of cooks used te observe, * by an anchovy encased as an ox.” ‘or EF" Charles Beuneit, who killed Eugene Chilton ip Holeombe Valley lately, bas been arrested and held for trial.

Wnrart 1s Svicipr. 1—Martha Hesvee, on iwmate of a house of doubtful reputation, on California street, died yesterday eomreted . frem the effects of an overdose of morphine which she had taken. A bottle of this deadly drag was always kept in the house, and when any of the mmates felt unwell or low spirited. they would. dose themselves with it, believing it to be a sovereign panacea, for all the ills that flesh is heir to: The deceased, although a woman ef the world, was but about nineteen years of. age, and only some three weeks married to a soldier in the regular army, named Hawes.

Weller never did anything of note, and none knew what course he would take until it was tuken ; and it is doubtful whether be himself had beforehand any idea of what he ought todo. Haun made'no mark, nor was he expected to ; as he was sent there only to keep Weller’s scat warm. Latham is so erratic and is dipping,so often, that no one knows where to find him until his head is seen “bobbing around ;”’ and he bobs so much on-both sides, that “now you see him and now you con't!” No party has any confidence in his stability, and it is more trouble to keep him in the plain straightforward track than itis worth. McDougall opened well, and has wot yet had a fair trial We can only hope that the public wilt not-be deceived in him ; but the confidence he had inspired begins to shake, tind none need be surprised if they hear any day that he, too, plays the weather vane. It is really humiliating to think that a great State like this has, and has had representatives in the highest branch of the National councils in whom the people canaot have implicit fuith.—Sae. Bee.

Why, lest of all, just filling up the almost impossible small space, an an. chevy! Here lays the great art, and a certain famous cook, named Beppo, was the individual whose special business it was.to send up the King, once a day, the pheguomial teacupfull of gravy produced, as the above-mentionthonee cook of cooks used te observe, * by an anchovy encased as an ox.” ‘or EF" Charles Beuneit, who killed Eugene Chilton ip Holeombe Valley lately, bas been arrested and held for trial.
