The Legislature.

The Seventh Session Of the Legislature of
the State of California closed on the 2lst
ultimo, at fifteen minutes before 10 o'clock,
T. NJ, by the President Of the Senate and
Speaker of the House pronouncing to the
bodies over which they respectively presided
that they were adjourned sane de- With
the pronouncing of that short sentence the
responsibility of all the Acts Of the session
were fastened upon the members Of either
branch of the Legislature as well as the Ex-
ecutive of the State-there is no escaping
them now-the time has passed for medita-
ting upon them to shun responsibility How
stands the case with you members-Sena-
tors and Executive. The Session has been
the shortest ever held before in the State,
occupying but three months and half
The Acts passed with but one exception
will bear examination and comparison with
our elder sister States. We attribute this
to the fact that the Democrats had posses
sion of the Senate and the KNOWN NothingS
of the House, so that one party acted as q
cheek upon the other.
Governor johnson exercised the Veto pow
er during the Session some fifteen or sixteen
times, which is unparalleled in the history of
our Government Perhaps he thought he
was doing right, but it is certainly dan
gerous power in the hands Of fyy0. If the
Governor had sent Veto Message to the
House at the time, and instead of his Mes
sage explaining his reasons for signing the
Bill authorizing certain parties to lease the
State Prison convicts at a cost Of fifteen
thousand dollars month"; the people would
have been better satisfied with his ability to
say nothing Of his intentions. Had that
Bill been vetoed two hundred thousand dol
lars year would have been saved to the
State more than five times the amount say
ed by all his Vetoes. But it seems that the
State Prison affairs are to bankrupt our
lovely State yet While other States make
a revenue from the convict labor, our State
has paid about one million and a quarter of
dollars to support that labor.
This article is not written for the purpose
of finding fault with the Legislature or Er-
ecuttre in particular, but to draw the atten-
ton of the people to the subject, that the
matter may be discussed by them in their
primary capacity and their representatives,
sent to labor in matter digested by them
selves, which only needs the joining togeth-
er by the lawmakers to give the whole mat
ter vitality and strength

Gambling.

/ As will be seen from the report OF the pro-
ceedinos Of the Court of Sessions, that tri-
bunal has been engaged during the present
week in the investigation Of indictments pre-
ferred AGAINST persons for violating the law
against gambling and the law against hou-
ses of ill-fame. Why persons of common
understanding should persist in following a
business in a small village like ours, in open
violation of the law, is what must be explain
ed to us before we can understand it. The
law is plain one, and we believe the very
best that could have been enacted to carry
out the object intended The house, by the
provisions of the law, where illegal gaming
is carried on, is made responsible for the
fines imposed on the persons convicted OF
gambling therein, provided, the owner is
cognizant of the fact This provision strikes
ct the very root Of the whole matter. No
person will be so blind to his own interests,
when he becomes satisfied that the law will
be enforced, as to allow gambling to be car
ried on in his house. Some poor fellow will
have to be taught by sad experience, that
" the way Of the transgressor is hard, be-
fore he can learn to say no to one Of these
travellers. Now, gentlemen allow US to
make a suggestion to you, in all trankness.
Quit the practice in Weaveryille, Or you will
find trouble at every turn you make at the
business. The past week and the charge OF
his Honor, II. T. Miller, to the Grand Ju-
ry, should satisfy you or any one else that
the laws are to be enforced in this County
The time has passed when men can violate
/ the laws Of the land and Of society with i'm
punity. Public opinion has spoken in terms
too plain to be misunderstood in regard tC
the matter the laws Of your State have
spoken, and your Courts within goUr cacn
heq1iag have spoken within the last fire dag
in most significant manner. A hint to the
wise is sufficient. As to houses Of il-fame
being abatcd from our streets We have but
little doubt. 1t is within the power Of the
courts to do it, and we have every confidence
in their integrity capabiI.ty, and intention
to do so; but as to their abating the NM
saace altogether we have serious doubts
Ever since Mother Eve partook Of the for
bidden fruit in the garden Of Eden and gave
it to Adam, men and women have been
prone to go astray, and so it will be until
time is no more with us.

Hope, on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-

pous showers, and when the fog cleared off
from our little valley, picturesque view Of
the snow that had been falling on the sur
rounding hills and mountains (durng the
time we had rain, was seen, which gradu-
ally seemed to rise higher and higher, until
their pure, white tops mingled with the
floating clouds, and thus the connecting link
with Heaven was apparently complete. 1t

we have oftentimes been led to believe that

Plagiarism.

The occasionally taking an article from the
journal and giving the credit to some other
mountain paper is all well enough, and we
will not complain of it, but to take one whole
article and part Of another, and change the
phraseoloGy, to prevent detection, and then
give it to the public as an original article,
is more than human nature this high up in
the mountains can bear.
In our issue of the 29th Of March, an ar
tcle appeared, headed Going Home" We
find the same article with a slight change
in the phraseology, to suit the locality of
the Sentinel, in the Golden Era Of April
9th. headed Home Again." taken from
the Jacts0n Sentinel, with an additional sen
tence taken from another article of the same
issue of our paper, headed Weaverville as
it Is" to close up the plagiarism. BY this

the production were entirely changcd-the

McGillivray's May-Day Ball.

With the return Of each May-day comes
to our minds pleasing recolections Of our
schoolboy days, when our young and guile
less hearts knew nought of evil, when the
first dawnngs of love for the gentler sex
thrilled our breasts as we assisted in placing
garland Of flowers on the brow Of the
loved one selected for her loyeliness to be
our May-Day Queen. As years pass on and
those happy days only remain with us as
pleasant memories, the nearest approXima-
tion to them we can devise are the most
pleasing Such was McGilivrays ball on
Thursday evening last Although the
weather for a few days preceding it was very
unfayorabIe, yet we may say with truth that
nothing to equal it, in the way Of balls, has
heretofore occurred in our county. Not the
least attractive feature was the fact Of there
being present many young unmarried ladies,
whose condescension and sweet smiles gave
the greatest possible happiness to the male
?
were bestowed, causing sensations in the
heart which may be too readily felt but not
so easily described. (Be it known, in this
last assertion, we speak from new born cx-
perience) The music was eXcelent--the
figures and dances well chosen-and the
supper such a commngling of delicious
Injuries is seldom found any where, we can't
do the same justice to it on paper that we
did while we were seated near it at the taole
Our friends can testify to this fact, for it
was only through their solicitude for our
safety that we were impelled to desist. 1t
was not until after broad daylight that dam
cling ceased. All seemed to enjoy them
selves exceedingly, and to render every one
around them joyous. Where all played
their parts so well, it would be inyidous to
particuarize. But inasmuch as our Shasta
friends are given to boasting, and will even
Obligingly offer to share their Balls with us
poor unfortunate bachelors of Trinity and
invite us to enjoy with them their May days,
we must assure them that we fear we should
be greatly losers were we to forego the So

elegant and accomplished Miss c., the
amiable Miss r., the angelic Miss d., Or the
yiyacious Mrs r., Mrs p, Mrs G., or in
fact any who were present on this occasion,
Tor that Of those whom we know not. We
never spent happier night at a Ball in all

the greatest imaginable pleasure when we
hope that the Tower House Ball was just
such another.
