DELIGHTFUL PRosPEcT-It is truly g7ut-

A II Il :.
DELIGHTFUL PRosPEcT.- is truly e7nE
flying to one who takes pleasure in reflect
ing on the moralimprovements Of ourState,
to notice the rapid strides towards refine
ment which our honorable Assembly have
recently made in the Legislative Halls at
Sacramento. They have appointed Nor
mon to officiate for them as Chaplain. A
Mormon, whose chief aim in religious mo-
rality is sensual Indulgence. Surely this is
triumph for those, who regardless of the
higher qualities Of the mind, are only desi-
rous Of animal Indulgence; and with view
to the qualification of this passion, their
great object has been to legalize custom,
damnable in its Influence and deeply perni-
cious to society and the welfare of mankind.
Plurality Of wives! Indeed this is progress
i've! And teacher of morals, representing
these principles, is put on the list as Chap
lain to our honorable and enlightened As
sembly. 1t is impossible to conceive of
any circumstances that will justify the ac-
tion of the Assembly on this subject. Had
there been no appointment at all, or had
they selected a member from auy of the Pro-
testant denominations, or even the Catholic,
the circumstances would have been materi-
ally changed. But when the Representa-
tives of an enlightened, aye, an American
people, stoop so low as to selecta teacher of
morality from so degraded den as that of
a sect who publicly advocate licentiousness,
then we have left US no apology for the ac-
tionS of those whose duty it is towatch over
and guard the interests of a free, civilized
and enlightened people! 1t is a disgrace, a
blot upon California as Statel and decen-
cy and respect demand that it shall be re-
moved. We are happy to record that many
votes were cast against the appointment,
but unfortunately for our honor, not enough
| to secure defeat. .. We do not allude to sec
tlonoities when we remark that majority
of nine-tenths of the respectable portion of
our citizens in California feel that their
confidence is outraged and imposed upon,
and that as a people they are grievously
misrepresented before the world in point of
morality and refinement. 1t is true that in
morals we have been rather loose, but when
we are held mp before the world as ready to
acknowledge the respectability of Mormon
ism, it is high time that the people should
yindlcate their honor by plainly showing
that though they may not all be Chris
tians, they are nevertheless far from being
Mormons, or favorable to Mormonism, or
Pluralty-ism,qas best distinguishes it from
other denominations. ~

New ROAD TO CARSON VALLEY-While
the interest is kept up with regard to the
Pacific and Atlantic Stage or Rail Road,
it should not be forgotten that from Sacra-
mento to Carson Valley, naturally better
road cannot be found than the one leading
by Salmon Falls, Greenwood Valley and
Georgetown, and from thence along the
continuous divide leading on to connect
with Johnson's Cutoff near Bigler Lake.
All that the practicability of this route re-
quires for a sufficient proof is a professional
surrey. Give the route this and we feel
sure that we shall have the road.

FAIRY MINsTRELs- Fairy Minstrels
gave concert on last Saturday evening to
an oyerfowing and appreciative house.
Over three hundred persons were present,
including quite a large number Of ladies'
Nothing of the season has apparently given
the satisfaction, that the two talented little
girls which compose this company gave on
the above occasion Almost every piece
was encored, and at the close of the per-
formances loud call was made for their ap-
pearance another night, which request was
complied with. Miss L. Graves is young
lady of fourteen years has a clear, musical
voice and Eight fantastic toe" In dam
cling she is certainly very graceful. All her
parts are performed WELL and in the closing
piece of Jack on Shore, she certainly dis
played talents of a high order. Years and
proper cultivation of her powers will make
her an artistic of the first class.
But for the sweet and charming little
musician, Miss A. Blodgett, we know not
how fully to express our admiration. She
is only ten years of age, and yet sings, and
performs upon the ACCORDION in manner
that would do credit to person of mature
years. In playing the Carnival of Venice"
she exhibits conception of tone and char
acter in the various parts of the piece that
is truly wonderful. 1t seems intuitive-H
IS indeed genius; and discriminating mind
can recognize it in each note of the instru-
ment-in the sparkle of her eye and the ex-
preston of her face. 1t is sometimes the
misfortune of an editor to render praise
where it is not strictly due, but here our
heart and judgment are in our words, and
we cannot but recognize in this little girl,
a genius that if properly cultirated, will, in
the course of time, cause the world to re-
sound with her praises. The Fairy Min
strels are well worthy the patronage of the
public.

Our OF DEBT.-El Dorado county is at
the present time entirely out of debt, and
not only 50, but has surplus in the Treas
ury to the amount Of $l9,050 %. This
certainly speaks favorably of the Empire
County. BY the way, cannot our officials
devise some means to relieve the treasury of
its incumbent load. Surely it is undemo-
cratic that so much money should lay idle
in the county purse. 1t appears that our
county officers have thus far done their duty.
but would it not be proper to make some
appointments, or appropriations say the
appropriation of few thousand for the sup
port Of lobby members in the Legislature.
The probability is that both Gwin and
Broderick will require very material aid be
fore either of them succeeds in obtaining
the appointment of U. S. Senator.

aFo4lav is to commence the struggle in

@=To1lay is to commence the struggle in
the Legislature for Senatorial honors-a
struggle long anticipated, and on which,
hangs the political existence Of men, whose
thirst for power has seemingly caused some
of them to forget that they were IN reality
only common men, and dishonest and cor
rupt demagogues at that The issue Of the
present election viii, in all probability con-
vince them of this truth; for should an Uni
ted States Senator be elected at the present
session of the Legislature, unless we are
much deceived in the condition Of affairs at
the Capital, the election will not fall on the
shoulders of either of the past aspirants of
that honorable position. And furthermore,
should the election be delayed to the next
session Of the Legislature. The actual lead
ers in the parties at isaue will be too wise
TO place men at the head of their lists, whose
only merits to political favor, is the plia-
biiity of their honor to meet the desperate
circumstances of an unpopular and chang
ing creed; and chameleon-like partake OF
the color of every object it meets. The
truth is, the time has come when ''old things
are to pass away" and if there is anything
in the signs Of the times, we are on the
verge ola complete political REVOLUTIONARY
we hail it with pleasurabIe antieipations,
and first because a change is certainly desi-
rable. Let those who have so long and fa-
tally gloated themselves on the lile-blood oi
the public fall off: and if we must have
blood-suckers upon US, let us have a new
swarm Of them. But under tic auspicee Of
a new organization we, shall hope to see
men at the helm of state, who will at least
be free and fearless in the discharge of their
duty. Thus far, with few exceptions, the
present Legislature have shown themselves
favorable to reform. We believe that the
great majority of the members composing
that body, are appointed for the times, and
consequently shall expect TO see work ac-
complished by them that will result in the
ultimate good Of the country, and whatever
revolutionary storms there be that sweep
over our political seas, ives slall txTect &c sec
them triumphantly riding the highest waves
far above the scum Of sectionalities, on to q
calm, safe and peaceful harbor.

ASSEMBLY APPRoPRIATIoN-The assem-
bly, have passed resolutions appropriating
to each member, the sum of one thousand
dollars to be drawn from the first funds re
ceived in the treasury, the same being at the
disposal of the members of the Assembly as
their salaries shall become DUE Now this
may all be well enough in the Assembly.
but in truth it exhibits them in rather a
suspicious light-as if they cherished some
designs against the government, and that
previous to sinking the ship Of state, they
were desirous of securing the spoi1s. At all
events our law-givers act in this respect as
if they distrusted the honesty or capability
ofigovernment, Notwithstanding they are
the ones who are appointed to stand at the
helm. In justice, they should perhaps be
exonerated from all wrong motives in adop-
ting the above resolutions. But at the
same time little more confidence upon the
part of our Legislators would seem in better
keeping with the character of the position
which they occupy.

TASTE Under the heading of Taste, the
editor of the Empire County Argus is pleas
ed to say: g 6
can NJ. D. or d. d. in petticoats shocks
the nerves of the gentleman who presides
over the Georgetown News. but petticoats
in mid air, delights him. Queer world. n
Now everybody knows that as a business
matter we sometimes praise an actress,
when we do not strictly feel it. But the
effect is different on society An NJ. d. or
D. D. retains her position in society as a
woman; an actress, the moment she places
her foot upon the boards, at once loses her
position in society, and, consequently, the
mere fact of her appearance in public is no
precedent for public life for modesty and the
feminine gender, and consequently when we
praise the actress we do not, by so doing,
approve of public life for uoman. Now
as we are obliged to class Miss Pellet either
among the women, occupying position, or
among the actresses who make no preten-
sion as to society, we have not hesitated to
place her among the former; and in doing
so, having an eye to the interest and infu-
ence of females, we cannot but disapprove
OF her course as a woman. We condemn
her course as one giving precedent to the
sex in a position which if it become popu-
lar, must result in their loss of influence and
character as sweethearts, wives, as women
and helpmeets for manhood 1t is evident
they cannot become men-then why desire
to do the work of men? No, no. as we
wrote on former occasion, ave like the
two extremes; give us either man or a
woman." And yet with regard to Miss
Pellet, We are almost inclined to retract all
we have said with reference to this subject
in consideration of the actual good she is
accomplishing among us; and yet, while we
make her an exception to the above rules,
we cannot but regret that one SO desirous
OF public usefulness had not been born for
the pants instead Of the petticoats.

bling. 1t is a good movement, one that we
sincerely hope will meet the appreciation Of
our law-givers in the Legislature. The OBJ
sservance of the Sabbath is required alike
by the laws of nature and morality. 1t is
indispensable in well regulated society
Indeed society in California NOW demands
it, calls for it. 1t is therefore to be hoped
that tie call wilInot be disregarded. 81 VI
