LEE & MARsuALL's popular circus visits
this city the llth, and will perform several
days. BY correspondence in another col
umn it will be seen that these gentlemen
liberally tender to the Hook and Ladder
Co. of this city benefit on the 18th, the
proceeds to be applied to render efficient
their organization. This is most admir-
able move, and will give the means to the
company to make themselves greatly effec-
tive if the city chances to be overtaken by
fire. A good hook and ladder company Is
the surest protection to city constructed
like ours, where sufficient water can by no
method be concentrated on fire that has
obtained headway, but where hooks and
axes may create at little distance from
the fire a vacuum over which the fire can
not pass. The Co. have now regular or
ganization, with all the implements of their
business, but lack house to keep these
from the weather. The offer comes in good
time, and is fully appreciated. We trust
our citizens will not be slow to evince their
appreciation of the liberal offer by making
the visit of the circus profitable to the pro-
prietors as we'll as to the fire company.

Importance in this new state, with its ac-

grandson of Roger Sherman, of illustrious
memory, son of Professor Day Of Yale
College, and is one of the best educated
and most highly esteemed men in the

in education, in irreproachablc character,
he should be elected. His opponent is a

WILLIAM WALDO, known throughout
California and the western states for his
noble efforts for the relief of the perishing
emigration in 1850, and for his courage, in
domitable will, sound judgement, and spot
less character Their state nominations ex
hibit no such names as Me Means, Bell,
Marlett, Hubbs, men deeply identified with
political corruption, but on the contrary,
men who are noted for moral and intellectual
worth, who have never bowed the knee to
Baal, and who will be most efficient in
bringing the state from present embarrass-
ments. The nominations of this county
embrace some of the best men in it. Col
Inns who leads the column is gentleman of
much ability, clear judgement, and varied
experience. He has served his country no.
bly in the battlefield, and will grace the sem
ate. Burton is we'll known as an enterpris-
ing merchant and an industrious miner he
is clear headed, with good morals, and is one
of tie people. Gaylord is a gentleman Of
fine education and intellect, upright and most
favorably reported of by all who know him.
Messrs. Sewers, Culver and Lindsey are
very popular in the county, and perhaps the
strongest men each in his section that could
be selected. Capt Conn is well-known as a
good lawyer, and he will make an efficient
district attorney. He resigned a seat in the
Kentucky senate when be came to this coun-
try, and has had experience enough in the
law to make his election desirable. He great
ly surpasses his opponent in intellect, knowl-
edge of law, and general information, and as
he is not put forward as mere party nomi-
nee, should have the vote of every one who de.
sires an Intelligent and vigilant guardian Of
the finances and criminal business Of the
county.
We have thus given slight resume Of the
aspects, principles and candidates of the
present contest. We trust no voter will de-
posit ballot without conviction that he is
voting for the best men, and the right princi-
plies. Then i L F o r NJ most certainly
must dawn on the state.

JUSTICES CoURr.--The keepers of the
Recreo flor de Maria" House of Ill
fame, were brought up on Tuesday be-
fore Justice Colburn, charged with dis
turbing the public peace at late and
unusual hours of the night. Their house
was proved to be pest to the neighbor-
hood, and resort of noisy and turbulent
people; but no evidence was submitted to
the jury that the parties charged were
personally engaged in the offence, and the
jury therefore brought in a verdict OF
acquittal.
G. K. Morris and II. L. Spooner smash
ed windows along the streets, for which,
next morning, the justice fined them in

a mirror at the Polka, for which he was
mulcted in the sum of $500 fine and

EMIGRANTs.-Twenty-five teams arrived
in town the past week from the plains, to-
gether with large herd of cattle. The
emigrants are settling all over the county.
This is a far more judicious course than
many emigrants of previous years have
taken, who have rambled over the state till
they have spent all the proceeds of their
stock, &C., then come back here to mining
or ranching. In California as elsewhere
rolling stones gather no moss. There are
abundant mines now unworked in this re-
gion, open to prospect, and there are rich
valleys and hill sides for location, where
water may be obtained with little trouble
for irrigation. Largely travelled roads
run in all directions, scantily supplied with
public houses, carpenters and masons are
in good demand, society will compare IA
vorably with that of any part of the state
and all circumstances are favorable for
the settlement of the emigration in this
county.
