THE Legislature met in joint convention Wednes-
day last to elect u S. Senator and balloted seve-
raj times without an election. Thursday the same
operation was continued Gwin receiving AZ and
Al votes out of ITO and ILL., so it seems Doctor
Gwins reelection is not altogether 'beyond per-
adventure" " Manifestly, there is majority in
favor of somebody else, any body else in fact rath
er than Doctor Gwn. All the concentrated infu-
ence of federal officials appears to be employed to
promote the success of Gwin, and without avail
The end will come of these days, and then the
people will know all about it probably Gwin had
better hang on like dog to root for this is his
last chance The masses are beginning to wake
from Rip Van Winkle sumber and will soon
have their eyes open, and if the Doctor is not re-
elected now he can march to the tomb of the Cap
ulets.
The following is the ballot on Wednesday for
the different candidates, Gwin, Edwards, Brode-
rick and McCorkle

It will be observed that our revenues have been
increased from Liquor, Merchandise, Bridge, Ferry,
Stable and Butcher licenses, while in Gaming, Ped
dlers and Foreign Miners licenses there has been
falling of. The Poll and Property tax is also less
than last year, yet the total receipts for the fiscal
yess Of 1854 are larger in the sum of 1877 81,
sitter including amount from J. c. Herberling of
$12,l4 so, derived from 1852 and accounted for
in the statement for the fiscal year of 1858.
In June last, in speaking of "County Finances"
tho argus employed this language:
"The tax payers have occasion to be alarmed
when the fact stares them in the face, that our
county expenses have been increased, monthly, to
shs tune of thousands and now reach the enor-
nous sum of $7,064 90 per month, and amounting,
u the rate is continued, in year to $S4,769 0S."
From the annual settlement published this day
m our columns it will be seen that $91 ,643 IS have
Been slsbursed from the treasury, exceeding our
calcuaations IN June in the sum of S6,874 At. If
from this anaeunt We deduct $500 81 as per Trea-
surer's letter Of June 80, 1854, for advances
made BY him to the County in the redemption of
warrants, then our calculations in June last will be
exceeded in the sum of Sl,553 60. We have then
Ser current expenses for 1854, Ss6,322 g. being
an average of monthly expenses for 1854 of ST.
D3 So; exceeding our monthly calculation in
Juno, in the of one hundred treay-ni dollars
s"d foTty-siD cents per month.
will be seen that our citizens have paid taxes
nsnfnlly during the year past and that efficiency
in collecting taxes under the revenue laws has
vailed and been crowned with good degree of
success. Had things been otherwise, our county
would have been ruinously in debt instead of hay

The PLAINS AND CALIFORNIA We understand
that Mr.. George H. Campbell, fluent and grace
full writer is now engaged in the preparation of a
California work bearing the above title, in two
parts and to contain from four to five hundred pa
ges
The first part of the work will constitute COM
pete guide to the traveller from the Valley of the
Mississippi to the Eastern line of California, and
will minutely set forth the geographical and topo-
graphical features of the route--the distance from
point to point where conveniences for camping ex-
list, the facilities for obtaining water fuel grass,
etc. at various points along the route--the agrcul-
tural resources of the country, and the best infor-
nation that be obtained concerning the ordina-
ry expense of the trip by the various practical modes
of travel
The second part, it is designed, shall be repos-
itory of practical information for those who desire
to make California permanent or temporary resi-
dence, and will contain condensed historical
sketch of the State from the discovery of the Gold
Mines, down to the year 1854 full and practi-
cal account of the various modes of obtaining gold
in the placer diggings, and quartz mines, with cal
culations based upon reliable data as to the prof
fits of gold mining, either in placer diggings or
quartz VEINS and description of the various kinds
of machinery now in use in collecting gold in the
mines of California. The agricultural, CONNER
cia and general resources of the State will receive
special attention, and the conclusions which may
be arrived at concerning any of the various bran
ches of industry treated upon, will be based upon
the best data that can be procured.
Such work will be valuable and entertaining
to all classes of readers, and will no doubt meet
with appreciation and an extensive sale in this and
the Atlantic States

REDUCTION IN THE FEES OF OFFICE.-At the first
session of the Legislature, the impression prevailed
that to secure prompt efficient officers in the service
of the State, the fees of Office must necessarily be
large. To this end, that body passed bill which
gave, especially to sheriffs county recorders, and
county clerks, the most princely revenues. These
fees were so garingly oppressive, that there was
general rising of the people all the State to
cut them down. To this end, the second session
of the Legislature, IN 1851, undertook to reduce
these fees This. of course brought to the Capt.
tol an inDumerable swarm of office holders, to aid
and counsel that body upon the mode and man
ner of the reduction of fees.
The Legislature, after much angry discussion,
finally passed bill for reducing fees in office They
believed they had done SO, and so thought the pub
lie at the time but painful experience has shown
that the Legislature overreached by these de-
signing ofice-holders The fees of Office was so ar
ranged, as to enable the offce-holdcrs to increase
their revenues The most of them, however,
cunningly circulated the report that they could
not live under such heavy reduction in their
fees Some even went so far as to threaten to re-
sign, but they took good care not to do any such
thing. Officers in this country do not generally
resign,-they sometimes run off-because it is safer
to leave for parts unknown, than to remain.
The fees derived from some Offices in this City
are enormous. One County Office in this County,
is valued at 100000 per annum-another at $780,
OOu, ana ahotner at SIU,UOO per annum ana yet
these patriots all speak of their sacrifices to
the public. There are thousands in this city who
are ready to make such sacrifices for the country
Indeed, we expect to find these gentlemen besieg-
ing the Legisature--urgin its members not to
starve them out Of office by reducing their fees
They will bewail like Rachel for her lost children,
if the Legislature should cut down their revenues
We trust however, that the body will pay no at
tention to their complaints and supplcations. The
people all understand these gentlemen and they de-
mand that the Legislature shall use the pruning
knife on the present fee bill.
The existing exorbitant fee rates paid to office
holders operates almost to complete denial of JUS
tice in our State The poor have no show of JUS
tice. and cannot under existing circumstances con-
tend for their rights with men of means. 1t is q
crying outrage against the State that some of her
laws are framed as to exclude the poor from the
equal enjoyment and protection of government The
people, the suffering people, therefore, have spoken
all over this State in voice, which we hope the
Legislature will respect, that the present exorb-
tant fees of officers must be reduced They demand
this in the name of justice and matter of right,
and we hope they will not be disappointed in their
just expectation.--S. F. Euening Neacs

THRoUGH Wells Fargo & Co., we have received
Oregon papers from which we learn with great sat
sfacton that the old rotten Southerner alias 18TH
mus Or floating tub has gone to Davy Jones' Locker
There is one more old rotten hulk, called the Hum
boldt, we hope will follow right speedily. Human
life is too precious to be entrusted on board such
miserable rotten sepulchres If no lives have been
lost, the public should send up shout of thanks
giving at the wreck of the Southerner and at the
same time devout prayer for the destruction of the
Humboldt without loss of life. The Humboldt was
formerly the McKm, and is the last of collection
of condemned vessels. The owners of such hulks
if they presist in humbuging passengers on board
them ought to be indicted for murder, and hung at
the yard arms of their old tubs.
