. stands broadly and boldly apparent, that the ~ home—bringing business of Californiane—it is a grave duty, counties, there are four. The patriotic and ridiculous blunder as'to put none but dishontickets, there must be the finest chanee in the world for picking and choosing the very beat’ material for legislators. Enough has ~ been done, in California, for the glory of _ partican banners, and not enough for -the _ -welfpre ofthe state. It is of little consequenee in what presidential candidate an ae-. : pirant for legis he has dor Mpaeetaltp and has, for ten years, needed—wise and eileen Sees iT » and offices conferred on ” at oye Sgaaammammaagas ‘traordinary industry with which the partisan editors: hurl their crushing leaders upon the body politic, and notwithstanding the noisy seal of the itinerant orators—the fact still great. popular mass is, as yet, but very slightly excited. There are dozens of men—tolerably-sensible men at that—in every mountain mining camp, who, although they have read the pg papers with praiseworthy attention, ‘and listened to the eloquence n p orators with devout resignation, “have set gob declded upon what presidentiaF emdidnte they will ultimately cast their votes. So far, the present campaign has been a.game in which the shuffle; 4 out, and deal the cards, almost exclusively, among themselves. These politicians are remarkable people. How well old John Ford, . the dramatist, describes those of his day: “So politicians thrive, their crabbed faces, and sly-tricks, ducks, cringes, formal beurds, punctual cheats, do wrigWell persuaded, in bis dwn’ mind, that fis esp candidates are the right ones, who wi _neithér cut off all the heads in the nation, as Nero wished to do in Rome, nor grasp at the imperial yurple, as. Louis Napoleon did in Paris, nor up the country, as Arnold tried to do at West Point. In short—the privilege of having a voice in the creatiun of . a Obief Maglsttate of such ‘a gréat and glotious Republic as ours, is one altogether too noble to be lightly used. But, coming near matters to the bosums and which our voters owe to themselves and the State, to endeavor to place the very best men in the halls of legislation. In most of the counties of the State three legislutive tickets are before.the people, and, in some scientious voter is thus ofred a prime ppot ty of making up for himself a good. ‘ This ‘hot to be supposed that the would perpetrate such. a men on their tickets ; , Out of three or four party ve honors believes, so that and intellect enough to renthe state, California needs t the reason she has hia nen public good, ‘Wonkentyd ‘to adt the parts of party leaders.

Gradually the light daw dawns upon us, and one tion of ten years’ growth, are fast becoming civilized. _ Not only the ruder marks of intelleet, as manifested in the various mechanical contrivances of our minés and farms, but literature and the fine arts are taking unto themselves s local habitation and a name in our midst. Stationery follows closely upon the heels of refinement, and few are aware-of the extent and importance .of this branch of our trade. The word get ra + cupying a stand or station, but as the public. ation and sale of books increased, it was separated from that of the other, the name Sta. tioner remnining with the vender of paper, ink, pens, &e. “At this day, and in our country, a book and the nature extent and quality of the community. Wherever you see a peat, well keptestablishment of this kind, with a gentlemanly and intelligent proprietor, you may be sure you are in the midst of an intellectual, refined and well informed people. About two years ago, Mr. Albert L. Bancroft, brother of the eminent publisher and bookseller, conceived the idea of taking Stationery and making it a separate and distinct branch of trade, devoting his best energies to that alone: No house exclusively stationery has as yet been started upon the Pacific Coast. Accordingly, after having spent one year in preparation, the requisite arrangements were consummated for receiving regular supplies from the mills and manufuctories . of the United States, England, France and . Germany, and the enterprise launched in San Francisco, early in 1860, under the name of A. L. Bancroft & Co., Mr. H. H, Bancroft becoming junior parties in the firm. . So far it has proved a decided success, there not being a town of any consequence in California, Oregon, Washington or Utah which does uot contain one or more customers of this house. Closely allied to the interests of this new firm, stands the old house of H. H. Bancroft & Co., with its large warerooms crowded. to overflowing with beoks in every department of literature. The customers of these two houses derive great eir entire stock from them, and by each dent of their business being carried on y and upon its -own merits.

Well, when he comes, he wif_be treated civilly, though our people will scare ly make such dunces of themselves, running 4 after a sprig of royalty, as our Atlantic brothers are doing with the heir-apparent of ‘Great Britain. By the by, when the Hawaiian prince’s intended visit to California was first announced, it was said that his physicians had ordered him here for the benefit of his health. Our Californian doctors are much in the habit of sending their used-up patients to the Sandwich Islunds, where they are sure to die, and now, the Kanaka leechés appear to be in the humor of reciprocating the compliment. It is-sincerely to be hoped, for the . credit of our climate, that California will not . deal as fatally with Kamehameha as his country has dealt with so many of our valetudinarians. ties A Murperine PuiLosopner.—A hereulean brute, named Hangeman, a baker, in his assistant, Henry Castor, and then beat him to death with a rack slat, about the size of a fence picket. because he had. burned a batch of bread.

The_water in the river being higher than usual, the wagon was floated some distance down ‘the stream and over‘turned. The two girls and the boy of 6 were drowned. The old lady ‘caught hold of the floating wagon bed, and was carried by the . .current nearly a mile before she was rescued. The boy of 9 swam to the shore and was saved. The bodies of the three drowned children had not been found at list accounts.
