The Last Trick.


ALBANY, Oct. 8, 1855.
10 the Editors Favorable to the Republican n,oue-
sfitRsa aneNt: #as x
You, no doubt, are aware that the formation Of
the Republican party in the State Of New York,
was for the purpose of defeating the socalled Ame-
rican party, at the ensuing election. It is undoubt
eily the wish Of large majority Of the members
of all other parties that Know-N nottingham should
receive its death-blow in this State in the present
canvass even at the sacrifice Of portion Of their
own candidates, Nj
Therefore you viii at once see the necessity of
SO conducting the editorial department Of your
paper, as to bear against the success Of the KNOW
Nothing ticket, using due regard in relation to
your opposition to other parties.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE UPPER SAcRAMENTo RIv-
ER.-The bill introduced by MIR. Sprague to au-
thorize Maj. P. B. Reading, and others, to i'm
prove and exclusively navigate the Sacramento
river between Clear and Middle Creeks, passed
the Senate on the 21st inst. The distance be-
tween the extreme points is Is miles by the riv-
er and forty miles by land. Mr.. Sprague made
the following remarks in explanation of the
bill:
Mr.. Sprague-The object of the bill is TO
grant TO Pearson b. Reading and others the
right to exclusively navigate the Sacramento
river between Red Bluffs and Clear and Middle
Greeks, and ut the same time granting concur
rent right of navigation to any other parties who
may desire it, upon the payment of one dollar
per ton, the persons named i'll the bill being re-
quired to rende the same navgable Now the
river between these two points is not navi gable
and never has been One steamer had indeed
gone up beyond Red Bluffs once at a time
when there was high stage Of wafer, and with
no freight, but the captain declared il was so
dangerous that no consideration would induce
him to Try it again. Immediately above Red
Bluffs commences the Iron Canon the channel
of which is narrow. but Tire navigation is dam
gerous in the extreme; while farther up, the riv-
will need dredging, and wing dams will have
to be made SO as TO turn the water into IL single
channel before it can be navi gated. 1t is now
inaccessible, and it will cost an immense
amount of money to render it safe for igalion,
and the simple question is, is it worth while 10
make an effort to have these ob>ructions re-
moved. The State cannot do it. Not Senator
would vote for such proposition in the present
condition Of the State Treasury. These parties
offer to do it. and they do not expect to make
money Inv If I'm. AIR Readiuo and Mr. uanslax-
own six leagues of land upon the river within
the points named. and they think it will increase
the value of their property, which it undoubt-
edy will, and that of others as well, who are
settled upon the banks OF the river in that gh-
borhood.
Several amendments were then made, the ef-
feet of which is, that the Legislature may at any
time annnl the grant, upon the payment TO the
parties OF the money actually expended for the
purpose of rendering the river navigable.

SACRAMENTO, April %. 1855.

CAChAaENTO, April 2o, 1900.
| EDITORS CoURIER:-As the time rolls on fo,
the adjournment of the Legislature the House
grows industrious while the Senate grows tardy
Business progresses rapidly in the Assembly and
will be fully completed by the 3Oth inst; bu,
the Senate is no nearer the close of its business
than 1t was one month ago. That august BODY
has become debating school, where parliament
tary rules and political chicanery are taught
1t is supposed that the resolution fixing the 3O,h
inst. as the day of adjournment will be rescinde ed
for the special purpose Of allowing that body to
complete the lessons upon which it is now en-
gagged. Some, less charitable than others. asser,
that the resolution will be rescinded TO allow the
Doctor one more chance to bolster up his falling
fortunes by an attempt to bring on the Senatorial
election. So far as this is concerned, however.
all belong to the ancient and honorable order OF
K Ms.
Last week the House passed the Chinese Bill
in about satisfactory a form as it could well
be made. 1t Is certainly not in as ultra a form
as would suit many OF your readers, and by no
means as conservative as merchants would ask
The bill provides that after the 1st of October
next, The license tax shall be increased two dol
| lars per month lor one year; two dollars more
| to be added after the lst OF October Sc and so
on year after year. 1t further provides that no
foreigner ineligible to citizenship shall "hod or
work in F" the mines of this State who has not
paid his tax in accordance with this act
There is another bill in connection with the
| above providing for heavier capitation tax
npon foreigners who may enter the ports of this
State, that will have tendency to stop immigra-
tlon OF such persons to our shores. The former
OF these acts will prevent the introduction of a
cooley system among us, while the two, by pre-
venting in great measure, the immigration of
Cinnamon, and gradually getting rid of those
| already here, will have tendency to rid us Of
this curse OF our State.
A discussion was had in the House to-day on
Doughtey's Settler Bill which resulted in the
recommlttal OF the bill with special instructions,
which is equivalent. in this instance to defeat
of the objects of the BILL if not the bill ITSELF
The settlers need look for nothing for their ben
eft from this Legislature.
The bill for the division of the State came
up. and after long discussion. was committed
to u committee of nine, to draw up an address
to the people of the State. A division is looked
upon as foregone conclusiou-the only ques-
tion being that of time.
The State prison bill still excites suspicion,
and will pass by bare majority. if at all. Many
gentlemen see, III the classic language OF an
honorable member, "a niger in the fence, y
while contemplating this bill Coming, as it
does, at this late day of the session, it requires
members TO watch well as prey.

exhausts my privilege. Respectfully,

From, WeaveryilIe.

The Trinity Times of the 2lst inst, IN speak
ing of the new Judicial District. of which Trini.
ty county composes part. says:
The formation Of the Fifteenth Judicial Dis
trict is one ct the most unwise acts which has
been passed by our present Legislature.
1t was altogether unnecessary and inexpedi-
ent. The people of the District do not require
tour Judges did not desire it. Why then was
the District created? Was it not to make room
for another recipient of Executive patronage? +?
We can imagine no other reason, than that some
one who claims share of party spoils is 10 be
provided for and the most convenient way of
disposing of the individual is to place him on the
bench of the Fifteenth Judicial District. and re-
qure an already over-taxed community to con-
tribute six thousand additional dollars every
year, for the support of officer, for whose SER
vices we have no need.
With the Times we are rather inclined to think
that the creation of this new Judicial District
was wholly unnecessary, At the April term of
the District Court of Trinity County, Judge
Daingerfed was occupied two days. Humboldt
County, we imagine, has little more litigation
than Trinity. And yet these two counties, by
reason Of this law, are made to cost the State a
number of thousand dollars more than by the
old arrangement. No good reason can he urged
for this, except that it will lessen the duties of
the present Judges and give position to some
aspiring member of the profession. No other
reasons can be given, for it is ridiculous to say
that the wants of the people call for addition
al Judicial District. The Times, in continuation,
makes the following remarks complimentary OF
Judge Daingerfeld =
We have at present an able. honest, upright
Jndge--a gentleman whom the community re-
spect. and in whose ability and judgment they
place the most implicit confidence. Is it to be
wondered at, then, that the people of this county
should be reluctant to part with him? They
are naturally fearful that they wond have seri-
GUS reason to regret the change. The advocates
of this measure WILL we fear, regret their pre-
cipitancy too late when they see some political
trickster or dishonest lawyer converted into a
corrupt and ignorant Judge.
