Plumas County Printing.

We have been informed that some patriotic
printer has offered to do the printing for Plu
mas county at half the prices we have charged
for what have already done for them Our
charges thus far have been one hundred per
cent less, than this county has heretofore
paid for the same description of printing, pre-
vious to her having press of her own, and
we had not intended to charge any exorbi-
tant prices for whatever labor we may be call
ed upon to perform for the new county. Plu-
mas and Butte constitute one Senatorial and
Representative district, and their business
and interests are inseperably connected, and
we should be glad to execute their printing.
1t has been suggested that law might be got
through the legislature, making the Record
the official paper Of the two counties But
we are opposed to all stamp acts" and do
not believe in the practice ofkeeping the legis-
lature session merely for the accomplishment
OF such purposes. They have already been in
session longer than was necessary, and we
are afraid some of them will forget the coun-
ties they were sent to represent, and instead
of returning to their constituents. will seek a
home in some far off and ungodly land-and
all because they have been so long absent that
they have forgotten the friends of their youth.
Besides we do not want the printing of Pu-
mas unless the county is willing we should
have 1t. We can do the printing in satis-
factory manner, and do it as cheap as any
itinerant rat that ever disgraced the name of
Franklin. And we here state to our Plumas
county friends. that we shall be happy to re-
ceive and execute for them every variety of
printing required, and we will do it cheaper
than any travelling Raft we have to
do it for nothing and pay Capt. Singer for
delivering them. We long gave up all hope or
expectation of making money-but we should
not like to see the printing Of Plumas carried
past our Office. Therefore we will request our
friends in Plumas to procure the prices for
which this rdUeiiing rat proposes to execute
their printing, and we will DO it for less if it
does not go below the standard mentioned
above. We have never yet been guilty Of
rafting, either as a journeyman or proprietor,
and certainly have no desire to commence it
now; but we shall not permit others to rat US
out of what if left to its natural course, we
are justly entitled to. We do our own work,
and can do work even cheaper than rat who
employs rats.

EaRArUM.-An egregious error occurred
in our remarks on Nebraska Bill, in our last
issue. We were oEerrun with extra work,
and in the hurry of getting to press on eve
ming. We made up cur leading article from
statement in the New York Herald, upon or
dering the bill to its third reading, and not
upon its passage, as we gave it last week.
The bill passed the Senate by Il vote Of 81 to
ID, Mr.. Weller voting in the affirmative Had
we taken the time from labor to have paid
usual attention to our exchanges, We should
not have fallen into the error.

crumblings of the Leading Rroderick Organ.


The -4ita, the right hand organ, and lead
ing journal of Broderickism, and which by its
influence, (being the Oldest paper in the state)
succeeded in seducing from the path of polit-
ical rec titude, several papers that had here
tofore acted with the great democratic party,
pronounces the act of the Legislature making
the office of State Printer elective by the peo-
pie, "one of the most dangerous and impolitic
acts ever attempted by the Legislature of
California" The fact is, in thus disposing of
the question, the legislature have gone far
ther than was desirable by that journal, and
have placed the state printing far beyond its
reach. The puerle faction which it leads,
cannot elevate it to the position of State pa
per, the democracy have plenty of timber for
the manufacture Of State Printer, and that
of the genuine practical sort too, and the
wings have their own organs to reward, aud
enemies to punish. Could the -4lta succeed
in getting the nomination from the wings and
Broderickites, and could manage to make them
work in the same harness during the canvass,
they would make a very respectable run for
State Printer. But We are fearful that the
wings will not acknowledge the claims of the
Broderickites to their support, and although
the last mentioned faction can manufacture
public sentiment at a rapid rate, and create
''voices" from various portions of the State,
they have failed every time they have ap-
.oI > Io111 r Il
their dearly beloved organ cannot reasonably
expect aught but sympathy And hence, the
act making the State printer elective by the
people, is pronounced dangerous and impo-
litic,'' and the contract system found to be the
only one advisable.
We confess our inability to see the danger
Of bringing the candidate for State Printer
directly before the people, as candidates for
other state offices are brought The mere
fact of its being a lucrative Office does not af-
feet the policy of the question. That, togeth-
er with all offices should be made elective by
the people, and in making it SO, the legisla-
ture have done their duty, and will meet with
universal appreciation, excepting perhaps, the
Broderickites, whom the .alta is undoubtedly
able to command
The price paid for the State printing under
the provisions Of the act making the office
elective by the people, $3.50 per 1000 ems,)
is higher than is necessary to insure the
completion of the work, and render that
officer fair and honorable profit But the
price may at any time be regulated by the leg
islature, and we may congratulate the people
upon the removal of the e1travagant expendi-
lures hitherto attendant upon this branch OF
the state government.

A Murierous Fight.

A murderous fray occurred AT Natchez in

named Williams and Moore They had some
difficulty in regard to mining claim on sun
day and shots were exchanged On Monday
morning Williams approached the tavern
where Moore was residing, and who was a;
the standing in the door, and when within
about forty feet. asked Moore if he was ready
and fired Moore instantly drew and return
ed the fire. retreatig inside Williams rushed
in upon him, and clinching, they went down
together. Williams pistol refused to revolve,
and could not be discharged, or be would have
finished Moore Moore then fired, striking z
Williams in the centre of the breast, passed
entirely through him. Moore is dangerously
wounded in the neck, so severely that it was
deemed impossible to remove him to this place
for the present These are the facts, as they
have been related to US There are one or
two other features mentioned, but as the mat
ter will undergo legal Investigation, as soon
as the recovery Of Moore will warrant, we
forbear further remarks.
