Gently hung by portion Of the citizens Of Jackson,
has become famed for being the point from which
the mob-triod criminals have made their exit. This

VILLANI.

On Tuesday evening of last week, person who
gave his name as X. w. Folsom, called at this Office
and represented himself to be from Volcano Bar, on
the Middle Fork of the American river. He gave
the particulars Of duel he claimed to have witness
ed the night previous at Volcano Bar. From the
appearance of the person-the exciting subject said
to be the cause, and the alarming prevalence of
duelling in the country believed the occurrence
probable, and gave publicity to the statement
Since then we received the following note from one
of the parties and hope it will set the matter right.
There is no punishment too to be inflicted on
villain who will thus malicousy put in circulation
the report Of crime committed, to the injury of
any man.

SAN JOSE THE CAPITAL OF THE STArE.-lmPoNam
decision Of the Supreme Court.-The Supreme Court
at Chambers, says the s. F. Picoynne of the 9th,
Justices lIeydenfeldt and Wells present declared
that San Jose was the legal Capital of the State Of
California.
The matter came before their honors in this way:
the Legislature recently passed Bill providing that
the sessions of the Supreme Court shall in future
be held at the Capital Of the Stale. 1t therefore
became necessary to decide where the Capital was!
and the court held as we have above stated, that it
was at San Jose.
We are informed that the grounds upon which it
is based. arc in substance, as follows:
1st. Because the law providing for its removal
affixed conditions which have never been fulfilled,
or if fulfilled the Court have no judicial knowledge
of the same
ID. That these conditions were in their nature
unconstitutional. inasmuch as they virtually put
the location Of the State Capital up for sale to the
highest bidder
The Empire County argus., 1854-04-01
Grand total,

Bv the time the Printing bill to the present Lc-
gisaturc is paid, the sum will amount to nearly
or quite 100000. The loose manner in which the
State Printing contracts have been made has cost
the State immense sums of money. The people
the taxpayers have Just right to find fault with tho
LEGISLATURE for the enormous swindle they are per-
mittng in the printing department.. They cannot
plead ignorance to the fact that quite onc-ffth Of
the revenue of the State goes to pay for printing
We can all remember the cry of extravaganza the
Wings so Justly raised against last fall, for the
squanderng of the public money on the printer =
and we we'll remember the promises made on the
stump by the various candidates for office. Have
those promises been fulfilled Are the hands of
the LEGISLATORS clean on this matter! Can they
90 before their constituents and justify the pcrpe-
traton Of foul wrong upon them' If they at
tempt it, they expect the people will believe
them! Both branches Of the Legislature are largely
Democratic. They will be responsible for permit
ting the printing swindlc to continue; and unless
it is checked and that speedily the people will rev.
olutonize the political aspect of the State.
There are other departments Of the State Govern
ment where a little economy would be beneficial.
In most cases the salaries are too high. $4,000
might be saved by reducing the salaries of officers.
The pay and mileage of the members should be de-
creased and the sessions limited to eighty days All
legislation beyond that time, to be without compon-
sation.
This may be called niggard economy; but is it,
The great majority of the tax-payng inhabitants in
the country, do not average S5 per day, and their
labor is more arduous than that of any Of the off
cials and for integrity talent and business habits,
the rough garb of the miner covers many man
who is in no way inferior those who have obtained
political preferment.

BURGLARS IN STocKroN.-There appears from the

reckless villains can ransack entire house,
and break open trunks and bureaus, without awal-
cnng some one. That on their first ingress into a
house they administer some kind of opiate to pro-

SIR-ln looking over the Sacramento Daily Union,
see in it report of duel that should have taken
place on Volcano Bar between myself and ]. S.
Landon, which is not the truth; and think it
justice to myself to have report contradcted through
the columns of your paper. The person who circu-

fight or even talked of fighting duel, did if for
some evil design, for there has been dispute be-

SPANISH Dry DIGGINGs--A NUGGET.-The Span
ish Dry Dggings lie between Georgetown and the
Spanish Bar, the Middle Fork Of the American
river. AS early as 1851 they had obtained consid-
cradle notoriety as being rich and extensive; but
the almost total absence Of water, save during the
raing season, prevented their being thoroughly
worked. A short time since, the Georgetown and
Pilot Creek Canal Company extended branch of
their ditch to these diggngs. Since then the miners
have been doing remarkably we'll MIR. Murphy
