PROPOSED CHAKGE.-The State Journal oil
Thursday thus speaks of change in con-
duct after the goth of April: a1nk
NFw VoLUME-New Arrangement.-The
present volume Of the Daily Journal will ex-
pire on the goth day of next month. AT that
time change in the business department,
of the Office will take place, of which we
think proper to advise our readers in ad'
vance.
Heretofore, we haue atten ded to the edi-
torial duties of the Journal and to all the bust
ness departments of very extensive print
ing establishment. BY the contempla Led
change the whole business part Of the con-
Germ will be under the contol and manage
ment of Messrs. William s. Cameron, Will
liam Cravens, James H. McNeely, and Theo.
p. Haughey, who will, after that date, have
an interest in the establishment.
Messrs. Cameron, Cravens, and McNeely
are practical printers-a long time employed
in the ofice-and Mr.. Haughey is an excel
lent book keeper and correct and expert
enced business man. TIa1 ~
This arrangement will enable us to de-
vote thwhole of our time to the editorial
columns Of the paper, free from the cares
which have heretofore claimed much the
larger share of our attention, and will also Sc
cure the services Of Mr.. McNeely as local
and commercial editor, to which department
much attention will be given.
An entire new dress Of Boston manufac-
tured type will be procured for the paper
and large additions will be made to the al
ready extensive book and job departing nts
so that in all that constitutes the materia
for carrying on the printing business, we
shall be as well prepared as any other office
East or West.
Possessed of facilities unsurpassed fol
making good paper and for executing print
ing of ali kinds, we shall confidently cxpec
to increase our business even beyond tina
now SO literally bestowed upon Us.

nFA boy was caught in the act of stealing
dried berries in front of store the other day.
and was locked up in dark closet by the
grocer. Then the boy commenced begging
most pathetically to be released, and after
using all the persuasion that his young inn
agination could invent, proposed: "Now,if
you'll let me out, and send for my daddy, he'll
pay you for the berries, and lick me besides!"
This appeal was too much for the grocery man
to stand out against

STRIKEs.-The ". Y. Sun, which is said
to be good authority among real working men,
gives the following views. in relation to
strikes:
"The men who get up "strikes" are not the
men who favor making ability the test for
fixing wages. They are tor placing ahe able
and Indifferent workmen on perfect level.
They will not permit the employer to decide
what each mans labor is worth to him, but
arbitrarily proceed to fix one rate Of wages
for all, good and bad, and then provoked the
workmen to strike unless the employer sub

election this winter "for fear the next
Legislature might fai! to be able to unite

Had we not better elect another Governor
next fall, for fear The people might fail to
agree upon any one when the legal and

arrived! If the argument is good in one

We may have occasion to say more yet
on this subject, and we hope the Journal

SACRAMENTO VALLEY RAILROAD COM
PANY.-We notice this company held n
meeting on Wednesday evening last, and
elected officers for the ensuing year. The
completion Of this road is matter in
which the citizens of Auburn are deeply
interested, and all those who ean invest
capital should take stock in it. With the
completion of this road through our town,
Auburn would improve rapidly. Its trade
would evidently increase four fold-com-
manding the trade even of the South Fork
of the American and all that section Of
country east of Coloma. Our proximity
to it, with the completion of the railroad,
would certainly secure it to US. And
with the increase Of trade, would come
an advance in the price and value of real
estate. The benefits to be derived gene
rally from this necessary enterprise should
set our citizens to acting in behalf of it;
for we have no doubt the road will be
built by the gentlemen who have taken
the matter in hand. We shall note the
progress Of the company with pleasure.
