The Next Generai Election.

The coming political contest VIII present
new and important questions TO tne peo-
ple of this State. 1t would be well for the
State. if it could be decided on questions OF
State nolicy-for these are of most vital
importance to California. But the GwIN
marty will make a last grand effort for their
Champion. When he is virtually candi-
date for the U. S. Senate before the people
bv the administration, candidates being
pledged to support him, the result might be
easily predicted, If he were the most pop
ular man in the State for Senator, which is
denied, and candidate against all compet-
itors he could not succeed in procuring a
majority of his friends returned to the Leg
islature. McCoRKLE, BRoDERIcK, McDou-
GAL, ROMAN and all the other aspirants, past,
present and to come, will continue to have
friends over whose numberS-combined- no
politician, can reasonably hope to succeed.
This is well understood by Mr.. GwIN and
his friends and this may to some extent ac-
count for the last abortive efforts made in
the Legislature to renew the Senatorial con-
test.
Georgetown weekly news., 1855-05-03
Mormon Interpretation of the Scripture.

Mormon Interpretation of the Scripture.
AS an illustration of Mormonism. the
New York Commercial analyzes a lecture
of Elder Orson Hyde on Polygamy. This
lecture was delivered in the Tabernacle"
at Great Salt Lake City, on the 9Th of Oc-
tober last. The Elder" though he pro-
fesses to have long since ceased to read the
Bible, and to have forgotten much that it
contains, yet argues from it-frOm the New
Testament as well as the 0ld-that polyg-
amy is lawful, right and proper. He as
sertS that Jesus Christ himself was polyg-
amist. He says that at the marriage at
Cana of Galilee, where the water was turn
ed into wine, Jesus was the bridegroom
His statement is as follows, as reported in
the 'Deseret News:
"Now there was actually marriage fin
Cana of Galileel; and if Jesus was not the
bridegroom, please tell who was? If any
man can show this, and prove that it was
not the Savior of the world, then will ac-
knowledge that am in error. We say it
was Jesus Christ who was married"
But according to this Mormon Elder, our
blessed Lord was not only married but he
had several wives: among them he classes
the sisters of Bethany, Martha and Mary,
and also Mary Magdalene. These women
the Elder says, were Christs constant com
panions and therefore were his wives. But
it must be obvious to every one who has not
ceased to read his Bible, and has not for
gotten what is in it, that these women were
not Christ's constant companions, and were
no more his wives than scores of other fe-
males who from time to time listened to bis
gracious words. But it is almost impiouS
to follow this ignorant and blasphemouS
old sinner in his comments on his favorlte
doctrine-the plurality of wives. 1t is not;

The General Appropriation.

We find the following in the State Jour
nal
The Act making appropriations for the
year 1855. to defray the expenses of the
Government during that period, contains
the following appropriations: 1t will be
seen that the total amount is $500, 9,82O.-
This sum is $90,66O less than the general
appropriation Of last year. The Controllers
estimate of receipts for the present fiscal
year is 81 ,839 800; but after deducting from
this amount the estimate of sales of State
property, (S77O,OOO) as well as the amount
pledged for the payment Of interest on
Bonds, &C., it will be safe to estimate the
available receipts at 100000. With this
condition Of the finances, there can be no
doubt that the intention of the act of the
Legislature requiring a registry of warrants
and cash payments after July, can be fully
complied with, and at the end of the year
leave surplus Of cash in the Treasury
The Governor approved the appropriation
bill yesterday.
