The Columbia Statesman, advocates the |
repeal, by the next Legislature, OF the Gu
rator law Of last session, requiring the Sc.
lection Of Curators from various parts Of the
State. The editor says that since this claw
took effect, it has been difficult, and often
impossible, to get together sufficient
number Of curatOrs to do business" He
says that the last meeting advertised, was n
failure, not single member residing out OF
Boone county, being present We take the
following extract from his article:-
According to the existing law the nun.

following manner, to-wit: One from each
judicial circuit and four from the county

eleven constitute quorum TO do business

valuable to the institution, cost nothing.

1t has been estimated that the immigra-

to California except those who came to
Oregon and 5000 who remained ut the
Salt Lake. The number on the plains,
was so great, and the grass in many pla-
ces was SO scarce, that all kinds of stock
suffered linn earusably; consequently many
of them died by the way side. Those that
were gotten through did not, on an aver
