article in q"estion pays its respects tc
the various candidates for Senatoril
honors, reserving The industrious Doctor
until the last, and then beslobbers hi
many qualifications and ponderous ac-
compl shments with multitudinous adr,-
lations. After talking about Nero's
fiddling, while Rome WAS burning, }
and narrating the fact that California
was of the sovereis mites of a vast anc
mighty nation, which can on be prop
erly represented by particular indivlu-
ual, il proceeds to ask: Shall ",

Vile Her Id As it inclndes in enc fell
swoop, and utterly extingushcs all the
lesser political lights of California, we
will not attach it to any particular per-
son. The Statesman denounces our
legislatures as mere "cyphers," ard as
the latter quotation is directed agains
every BODY in the State, except the
Texas Senator and his San Francisco
faction, of course all will please consider
themselves extingaishrd-defunct. In
our opinion, there is but one legislature
which has reduced itself to the -fiaure
mentioned by the Statesman, and that
was the one which elected DR.. Gwin to
the Senate. L such an. act would re-
duce the members Of our first legislature
to mcrr legi gislaiiye cyphers, who can be
snuffed ont of existence by single in
terrogatlon, we trust that the incoming
Legislature will not reduce themselves to
mere ''cyphers' by re-electing him
As the Statesman has thus shown con-
clusivfly, that there is no one but Guin
in the state who is fit for S nator, after

will import another gentlemen ON Tex
