feet oflumber, in the logs, will be got out
during the present season, from the Piner-
les of the St. Croix Valley. The mills
along the river will not be able to saw more
than 100000 feet. This will leave a
surplus of 10000. 900 of feet to be RATED
out in the log. 1t is estimated that not
more than 5000. 600 feet of sawed lumber
will be needed for home use. This leaves

DY Ninian E. Whitesides received on the 4Sth
ballot in the California legislature, nine votes for
United States Senator, with some prospect of the
various factions OF the democracy uniting on him
and electng him. Shon'd they do it, the reputa-
ton which California has acquired for the snperla-
tive boorishness and black guardsm Of her men,
bers, " in be rather added to than diminished. The
Niniun in question cmigrated 10 California from
this state He was, we believe, once or twice a
mber of our territorial legislature, and was also
member Of our first state assembly, Of which, by
a queer accident, not worth detailing here, he was
made Speaker. In thatecapacity no was distin-
guished mainly for his confused mode Of doing bu.
siuess, his violent assaults upon Webster and Wal
ker in the use of big words the meaning of which
he did not comprehend, and finally by the pertina-
city with which be insisted on having double pay
for his labo:s, which he finally achieved. He is
a son in law Of J. r. Vineyard, not forgotten as
the man who shot Arndt on the Council floor oil
The territory at an early day, and Vineyard, we
notice is member of this same California legisla,
ture, and probably the main hacker Of his son-in-
law, We trust California may be spared the eff
feet of the ascendeucy of such influences.

The End of the SD Congress,

The Thirty third Congress expired a few
minutes before noon. on Sunday the 4tll Of
March, and there's general rejoicing, among
5 The press and the people, at its dissolution.
1t viii ever remain infamous in American
History for the passage OF the Kansas-Ne
braska Act and the prostration of the Bar

This last named bill, and those providing

of interest. The whole number of convcts conf

these SO held over, the election returns say OF

past year. The number of prisoners discharged
during the same period was 81, of whom 80 were
pardoned ont by the Governor; 10 of these being
pardoned the day before the expiration of their
