Take no Arsenic, TONES, Mercury, Qui-

noxious poisons proves them to be the offspring

CONGRESSIONAL DGsrRICTs.-A move
has been made in the Legislature towards
dividing the State into Congressional
Districts. The present mode of electing
them by general ticket, is not only ille-
gal, but, in our opinion is unfair towards
the mining counties, as it enables the
politicians of San Francisco, with her
forty Or fifty votes in our State Conven-
tions, to control the nominations, and
BY SO doing destroy the expressin of the
people in the smaller counties. The
idea of districting the State so as to
make an agricultural and mining dis
trict, is in bad taste. The basis of di-
vision is population, and that alone sho'd
govern the legislature in districting the
State.
We earnestly hope to see this done,
even if it does turn the southern district
over to whiggery and Know Nothingism.
1t may be the means of bringing the
politicians of San Francisco who are
loud in their professions of democracy
to their senses. When they can no
lauger rely upou the north to elect a
Congressman for them, they may be
able to discover what they now obst-
nately refuse to acknowledge, that there
are democrats in the northern portion
IF the State.
District the State by all means, say
we, and let each district nominate and
elect whonsoever they please, without
interference from other portions of the
State.

January lst., 1855.
Mr.. Crosette -
Dear Sir Please insert the fol-
lowing:
" Quien Sabe" who is Judge of Plu-
mas County, Tom Cox, at our last
general election, was elected County
Judge, over T. D. Bonner, by nearly
three hundred majority, the lar est ma
jo ity given for any county officer, al
though his name was only connected
with the canvass some three or four day
preceding the election. Ward, the pre-
siding incumbent, as also Cox, hold a
commission from his Excellency, and we
are unable to form an opinion up here,
as to who is Judge. 1 understand the
Attorney General has sent a written
opinion to the District Attorney of this
county, in which he pronounccs Ward
the constitutional, and Cox the legal
Judge. As plain citizen, and no law
yer besides, allow me to state that there
can be no Judge holding Office legally
who does so uncOnStitutionaHy. The
Constitution is the fundamental law of
the land, and any legislative enactment
initiating against it, becomes dead
letter. The Constitution requires that
there shall be elected, in each of the
organized count les of this State, Coun-
ty Judge, who shall hold his Office for
four years, while the act entitled an act
to organize Plumas out of a portion of
Butte, requires that the officers elected
under said act, should hold Office until
our last general election. The County
judge and other county officers were
elected nnder said act, and now a query
arises, whether an act TO organize = tpSO
fdct0" does organize, or whether ii be-
comes necessary that officers should be
elected, be sworn in and give bond, be-
fore any county can organize. Organ
ized, find in Webster, to mean per
feet in every part" )" & reduced 10 II
system" 1t therefore strikes me that
leg lily Esquire Cox is our County Judge,
the opinion of our Attorney General to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
There is nothing of moment trans
piring in our midst. The prisoner Noble,
who was arrested some time since in
Marysvile, for la ceny, has escaped a
second time from the custody Of the
Sheriff, and is at large.
Christmas has passed over gaily enough
up here. On Christmas eve a numerous
party attended bal! at the county seat,
when all things went merry as a marriage
bell and on The eve of the 9th, Ma
sonic ball given at Elizabethtown, eclip-
std every assembly ever held in the
mountains hereabouts. Weather as usual .,
dry, and an incessant cry Of hard times
An occasional extravaganza of monn-
taineer relieves the ennui which would be
otherwise unsupportable.
