who shnII make the Lawsy

In another column will be found the pro-
ceelings Of Convention Of the Miners Of
Shasta county, held in Shasta. Also pro-
test # some Of the delegates against the res
lu'ons adopted on that occasion.
We consider the Chinese population to be
q curse to the community, and are as desi-
rous as any Of their bttercst opponents to
see our mines and the State freed from their
presence. But, we also have and trust
that we always shall liave---a respec, for the
Laws Of the State in which we live. II
thoso laws are defective, it is the duty Of
those having our legislation in charge, to see
that they are amended. We have chosen
cartain persons from among US TO represent
our interests in the State Legislature. We
have chosen those individuals for the ex-
press purpose Of providing suitable laws for
the government Of the State and the protec-
ton Of our rights.
II the community arc ic take the law into
their own hauds--if portion Of the comnu l.
piiy are to be permitted 10 pass laws and en-
force acts In direct contrayention 10 tie ex-
isting laws Of the land in which they live
then we had better abolish all State lcpisla
ton at once, and allow our representatives to
return TO their private avocations.
Then, IL the miners are to have las some

10 on through all the diiI,ront aYocations Of

We have no doubt that the present Legs-

The Legislature.

On the 18th inst the Legislature met in
Joint ballot for the purpose Of electing L
States Senator. AS yet there has been no
choice, and from present appearances there
is but little probability of there being any
election this winter; each faction Of the dem
ocratic party adhering to their regular cand-
dates, and the Whigs voting every time for
their nominee. We think that if there is no
immediate prospect OF an election that the
question had better be postponed until to-
wards the close of the session, and some at
tention paid to the wants of the State. There
are several questions before the present Leg
isfitare of much greater importance to our
State than that of United States Senator.
Among the Bills introduced recently is
one very important one, introduced by Mr..
Rowe, Of the Assembly, for the creation of
"a Board of Supervisors in and for the sew
eral counties Of the State.' The main fea-
lures o. the bill appear to us very good. 1t
provides for the election of Board in each
county, on the first Tuesday of April in each
year-one member of the Board to be elect
ed from each township of the county. The
Board to meet at the county seat of tho
county once in three months, and oftener, if
necessary, for the transaction of business
Their proceedings to be public, and their
books, records, and accounts to be at all times
open to public inspection free of charge.
We trust that the bill may pass and become
a law.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Rowe for the
appointment Of Treasurer, has passed both
houses of the Legislature, and before this
time has probably received the Governors
sanction.
Dr. Bates of Shasta County has introduce
ed bill rendering sherifis ineligible for two
terms i'll succession.

MINING Laws.

In an Act passed by Congress in the year
1853, entitled: "An Act 10 provide for the
Survey Of the Public Lands in California the
granting Of Prcempton Rights therein, and
for other purposes" will be found the follow
ing section:
SEC. s. And be II f,nther enactcd, That
the public lands, not being mineral lands, oc-
cuped as towns or villages, shall not be sub
divided or subject to sale. or 10 be appropr-
ated by settlers, under the provisions Of this
act; but the whole OF such lands, whether
settled upon before or after the survey Of the
same, shall be subject to the provisions Of the
act entitled "An act for the relief Of citizens
Of towns upon the lands Of the United States
under certain circumstances, approved May

pation only until such time as Congress shall
dispose Of The same; nor shall any lands es-
pecally reserved for public uses be appropr-
ated under the provisions Of this act.
We would call the attention of miners
generally, and particularly those mining in
the immediate vicinity Of the town to the
above section.
Our streets have been undermined in vari-
Gus places and numerous lots have been rem
dered almost unfit for building purposes.
The following remonstrance was addressed
to the persons thus mining, and presented to
them few days since, with the hope that
legal proceedings would be re ndered unnec-
csary.
TO Little and others, engaged in mining in
,he stree,s Of Weavcryille:
GENTLEMEN We, the undersigned, mer
chants aud property holders in the town Of
Weaverville, supposing that you are not
aware Of the iow prohibiting mining in pub
lie highwnys--on on land occupied as building
lots, or on land previously taken up by other
individuals for their own use; would respect
fully call your attention TO the fact that BY
mining in the streets Of Weaveryille, or by
Undermining the lots owned by other indi-
yiduals, you are doing so in direct violation
Of the law. And we trust that it is only
necessary to call your attention to this fact,
believing that when sou reflect upon the in
jury. public aud private that you are inilict-
ing upon your fellow citizens, you.will imme-
diately perceive tho justncss Of our rcmon-
STRANGE, and win be induced TO suspend fur
thcr operations Of this nature.
Signed by the merchants and property
holders Of Weayerville.
Our mining friends should remember that
whilo they have their rights and privileges as
citizens Of the United States and Of this State,
still they only enjoy those privileges in com,
mon with their fellow citizens, who may be
engaged in other ayocalions; that tho laws
are intended as much for the protection Of
the merchant, the agricaluralist, and the ar
tisan as Of the miner, and that they have no
right to prosecute their labors 10 the deui-
mcnt Of the rights Of others.

~ The Sixth District Court deci-
dcd the other day, the last case Of the
Corporation Of this city vs.. the Bakers,
Bernard Dupuy was defendant. The
Corporation has thus failed to cstab-
fish right to fix a tariff on bread !;
which we have always thought arbi-
trary and unwarrantcd. The Corpo-
ration has no moro right to fix the
price Of bread, than it has to fix. the
price Of -four. If the Bakers do not give
as much bread for dime, as they
the people think they should; let the
people withdraw their patronage from
them, and bake their own bread
Flour and meal can be had in any
quantity, and the poor can certainly
find wood enough in a country like
this, to make their own fires and cook
for themselves.
