rurrovements the Coming Summer.

1t now pretty generally believed that the
improvements Of the coming summer will very
far exceed in amount those of the past summer.
and in no wise come short of them in point OF
character. Preparations to some extent are al
ready being made Suitable lots are being pre-
pared and some of them changing hands for the
purpose of securing the most favorable loca-
tiOns.
Probably the first important building that
will be put under course Of construction will be
under contemplation, if carried out according
to present design, will be not only an ornament
to the town, but an honor to the mountain re-
gion of California. 1t will probably be built OF
our own mountain granite.
The Baptist Church cont emplate putting up
good house. 1t is not yet determined we be-
lieve whether it will be built of brick or frame
work.
Beside these there are several important fire
proof buildings for business houses under con-
temptation on Main street.
Taking into consideration the fact that the
mines are now turning out more gold than al
any previous time, with prospect of this last
ing for many years to come, these things arc
called for. Weare no temporary sojourners ir
strange land. We have settled in country
Of unbounded wealth; and many of our citizens
have been blessed with success that even the,
had scarcely anticipated. Then why should
they continue to live in light, unsubstantia
buildings, continually exposed to, and narrowed
by fears ofthose destructive coDfagrations fo
which California has been so noted, and to which
we are constantly exposed.

A BURNING SHAME.

burning shame, if the, honest voters of this
county should allow themselves to be once
more duped by the political demagognes
and corruptionists who have for years past
been hanging like SO many teaches on the
county treasury. There never was more
favorable time than now to rid our county Of
these public pests, and we might add, pub
lie curses, If it is not done, it win be a
burning and lasting shame. Let us be u
nited. Let nothing divide us. Just as the
staff of victory is tobe seized, and the flag
of the American party run up to float from
its top, the hand that would scatter The
seed ofdiscord ought to be withered for
ever. Union and Victory is the motto up.

JESUITTsaI.

Jesuitism and the ,Jesuits are the curse
and bane-the dagger, the poison, the bull
let Of freedom and liberty everywhere,--
1t seeks to rear its profane temples on bones
of freemen, and to grow itself by the des-
truction of others.
The society known as Jesuits is unqucs-
tionably the most dangerous association in
the world. 1t has been the enemy of free
Institutions for centuries past. Its prime
objects are tho propagation OTTOMAN Cath
olicism and the union of Church and State.
This dangerous and designing party has
been repeatedly banished from the domin-
ions of even the despotic governments ol
the old world, as subyersiye of order and
the morals ofsoeiety. But although re-
pulsed, Jesuitism stillliyes, and is as vigi-
liant and systematic in its assaults on the

RAILROAD CONFERENCE.-The Managers
of the several railroad companies of Indi-
ana and Ohio held convention last week
in Columbus. Thirty-two companies
were represented including all the Ohio
companies except two.
A series Of reforms were proposed and
recommended to the different Boards of
Directors. OF course the sanction of the
several Boards must be had to bind the
several companies.
Among the prominent things recon-
mended, were the doing away with run
ners, and the entire abolition OF free pass
es. Half fare tickets are also to be abol-
tished, except so far as they apply to the
annual State Agricultural Show. Excur-
sion trains of course are under the con-
troll Of the road running them. Upon diff
ferent roads connecting the Same point,
where the roads do not vary over fixed
number of miles in length, the fare is
Ito be uniform, the shortest road fixing
the fare.
Through fare to be FL cents per mile
Local fare to be cents per mile,
In order to put a stop to the frauds
upon emigrants, the roads are to refuse
the tickets of emigraht brokers, and re-
ceive only tickets issued by the diffcren
companies.
i These are the main features of the pro
posed reforms. The convention undoabt
edly made an error in cutting of all con
ventions from the benefit Of half7fare.-
These conventions come from the people
and should be encouraged by the railroad
companies. ,...
Rates Of fare too, viii be stideped b!
this arrangement, but as we have said be
fore, reforms in this country are apt t.
lead to extremes. Time however, vii
settle every thing to It's true level.
