PooR REAsoHING.-The manner in which
rome Of the editors, whose sympathies are en-;
listed in behalf Of the Chinamen and against the
white minefs afgue their side of the question, is
indeed n,ost amusing. The Nepeds Journal, as
hn ilistahce in point, asserts that the collectors
Ia that ard other connties find it almost tpossi-
ble 10 collect six dollars per month from the
Chinese miners" That paper therefore de-
cares that the law "linpovershes the Chinaman.
while it affords no revenue to the State" and
hence thinks it "must be blotied from our stat
ute books among The first acts of the next Legis-
laiurc, IF we wonld not deprive them of the
means of getting away" and thus "fasten the
curse upon rs forever
Now it does seem to us that here is pre- sented
most villai inons specimen Of bad reasoning
"John." undef the old law, was perfectly able
10 pay four dplars per month, but now, under
the new law, he is wholly incapable of paying
six-hence he refuses to pay anything Very
well. This is perfectly ineligible. We can
readily understand how, by this procedure on
Tho part Of John, the revenues Of the State are
diminished; but for the life Of us we cannot
discover the process Of reasoning by which the
editor arrives at the result that John, who here
tqfore eopld tay four dollars per month. and
make money, is now, by paying nothing. Elm

BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT THE Richmond En-
gnirer speaking of Northern men says: "They
nre both fanatical and money loving, and are
by no means, high minded people,"
The man who penned that paragraph deserves
the execration Of every lover Of his country
For Northern man to inclnde all Southern men
in such sweeping denunciation, would be to
consIgu him to political purgatory forever.-Ne-
vnda Journal.
"The man who penned" the Jonrnars re-
marks .hould have been quite certain that the
objectionable paragraph quoted, was written by
the editor OF the Enquirer As to the remark,
that such sweeping denunciatiun Of Southern
men. by northern man, would consign him to
political purgatory forever-ihat is all tol de ro.
1t is notorious that many of the most popular
leaders in the rth.-boih political and relig-
ons-are those who are fondest of dellouncng
southern men as "slave-whippcrs. human
tigers whose eyes dance with delight at the
sight of negro's excora,ed back, and in whose
ears the moan of the slave is sweetest music.
And what does this fact prove. we would ask
Not that the great body of northern men think
southern men n mere community of savage
slave-whippers; nor ;lat the southern people
think all northern men fanatical and mean and
money-loving. But it proves that fanatics in
each section may utter foolish sentiments, and
yet escape consignment To political purgato-
ry forever" Ii also proves that there is more
fraternal feeling between the people of the two
sections than politicians would have us believe,
for the reason that the views promulgated by
the hot headed, prejudiced souiherner and the
loud mouiled fanatica northerner, new
| and strange as to attract the attention never
the respect-of the people by their mere novelty.
However, we do not for moment believe
that the remark, as it there stands, ives ever
penned or published by the editor of the Rich.

The Shasta courier., 1855-12-01
why Gen. Richara-on wa. Murdered.

Why Gen. Richardson's was Murdered.
The Alta California gives the following reason
for the difficulty between Gen. Richardson and
Crfa -
1t says. that on Thursday evening previous tn
the murder, Gen. Z. accompanied his wife and
Mrs. Whitney to the Theatre While there, a
man in the pit annoyed the latlies by. gazing in
tenfly at them. This caused Gen. K. to leave
his seat for the purpose of ascertainng the meaii-
ing of sich conduct
1t turned out that the mans gaze was not d.
rected to the ladies in company with Gen, R.,
but to another female sitting Immediately behind
them. -
This last parsonage was the paramourof Cora.
woman OF illfame, who bears the name o.
Belle Cora.
1t is presumed thai Gen. r. made an effort TO
have the woman removed from The Theatre, and
for this act his lie taken.
The Attn is of the opnioiI, that other parties
were concerned in the murder of Gen X. be-
sipes Cora. and thinks, that this fact solves the
mystery in regard to the pistol, which was pick
ed up near his body ON the evening of his mur-
der.
