The Census BIZ.

The Sierra Citizen is out strongly in favor
into the Senate, and urges the passage of the
bill as necessary to equalize the representation
of the State. 1t says:
cit is matter of strict and even-handed
justice, and none but the most narrow vision
cd, meanly sectional, or blindly partisan, will
dare to raise an objection"
Again
ut is sheer robbery to deny this right, and
the man must be incorrigibly dishonest who
will cast vote against it,
The Citizen does not mention the provisions
of the bill, and we are at loss to determine
whether the bill proposes to amend the consti-
tuition, so as to permit change of represent
alton under an enumeration taken in 1856.
fit does not amend the constitution it would
be worse than folly to pass the bill, for after
ter the representation had been been equalized
under a census taken in 1855, the Supreme
Court would be obliged to declare such in
crease of representation unconstitutional.
The representation of California requires
to be remodelcd, being at present very une-
quail. No county feels its inequality more
than Butte, and we would hold up both hands
in favor of remedying the evil. But we have
no desire to see the bill pass unless it amends
the constitution so that the evil complained of
may be legitimately removed. The State
should not be put to the expense for nothing
We have regard ed this bill as one calculated
to create places for Know Nothing officers, to
be supported by the taxpayers. The consti-
tuition states distinctly when the census i to
be to be taken which sha Il form the basis of
representation, and until that is changed we
shall oppose all census schemes, notwithstand-
ing the fierce language used by the thunderer
of Downievile We are almost disposed to
believe that Mcdonald, like many members of
the legislature, has not yet read the constitu-
tion of the State.

A Foul Conspiracy.

The State Journal Of February 20,
shadows most foul and damnable con-
spiracy concocttd by the know-Nothings
for the purpose of enabling them to bring
on the Senatorial Election. The bar
gain, to accomplish the election, exceeds
in cool villiany and del berate rascality,
any swindling transaction ever perpe-
trated in California, and shows that the
oath-bound Hindoo party of California,
are determined to carly out their pro-
jects at all hazards, and by whatever
means within their power. The bargain
is this:-The Know>Nothings in the Lrg-
islature are to secure the passage of a
bill to fund the fraudulent scrip of San
Francisco-street assessment warrants,
Meiggs' forged paper, and the rest Of the
bogus stocks which was rejected by the
commissioners appointed to enquire into
their validity On the passage of this
bill, the Know-Nothings are to receive
from the holders of this fraudulent pa
per, the sum of one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, to aid them in bring
ing about the Senatorial election. This
would saddle upon the tax-ridden people
of San Francisco an unjust debt of near
ly one million of dollars. Could the
fiends of the internal regions conc oct a

We regret to learn that this institution has
thrown up its charter, and disorganized 1t

sage The history of the Bidwell Division is
sad one. In early life its prospects were
bright and cheering. hope gladdened every
eye its banner was flung to the breeze, and
strong men and lovely women enlarged its cir
Gle. Every heart throbbed with delight at
the Transforming magic of Temperance, and
viewed its trophies with feelings of hope and
pride. Here the Sons and Daughters erected
their paradise, which WAS to bloom like vine
yard upon the scoria which the volcano of in
temperance had poured out to wither and blast
with its consuming heat. But the institution
met with reverses. 1t had nothing to do with
politicians, but Know -Nothings had some
thing to do with the Division The Division
was plunged in debt for room which was
turned into wig wan. 1t was soon found
impossible TO expel member of the mysteri-
GUS Know Nothing order from the Bidwell
Division ofthe Sons of Temperance. No mat
ter what the offence might be, every Know
Nothing was voted not guilty, or given card
of clearance, which would substantiate his
character as temperance man for year.
Sensible men became disgusted and stood
alo0f. 1t prospered until after election, when
having no further use for it, many drew out
and had a spree-others, who had no time to
draw out, took the spree first. The result
was that the Bidwell Division offs O. T. after
accomplishing its manifest destiny, ''pegged

The Placerville american, copies our re-
marks about Mr. Meyerowitz crossing the
mountains on the Honey Lake route, on horse
back, without fatigue or trouble, about the
time Mr.. Pratt and his companion were per-
ishing in snow shoes ON the Carson Valley
route, and says that they were not frozen on
the State route, for which $780, 900 had been
appropriated. 1t must have been near the
State route, as the account stated that Mr..
Pratt was on his way from Carson Valley to

These yalies form connection from the Sac

We have no objections to road from Car
son Valley through Placervllle to Sacramento,
if the inhabitants desire it :; but we object to
its being called an emigrant road, and to its
construction at the expense of the State for
the simple reason that Millions of treasure
spent on the Carson route could not make it
us good road as the Honey Lake Route now
presents The advocates Of the Carson route
might as well assert that travelling across
the Humboldt deserts was beneficial to emigra
tion-or that there is less snow on an eleva-
ton of nine thousand feet, than there is on an
elevation of FIVE thousand feet, as attempt Il
comparison Of the two routes for nn emigrant
road.
The fact there is weekly express kept up
from Placerville to Carson Valley, is not proof
positive that it is the only route for an cmi-
grant road. The same thing can be done thro'
the mountains in several directions. Other
sections are asking the State for appropria-
to aid in building emigrant roads, and all ex
cept the Honey Lake Route, lead through the
long sandy deserts of the Humboldt
Before the State drains her treasury for the
construction of immigrant roads, let it be first

A Practical Sermon.

The New Haven Register says few Sun
days since, a certain highly popular and tai
ented clergyman of the Methodist Church read
to his congregation the secoud chapter of
Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians, the 10Th verse
of which if as follows:
''Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers
and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the
saints and the household of God.'
After reading this verse, he deliberately
raised his eyes to the congregation and re
marked, My dear hearers-St Paul was not

of comment went on with his read. The rev.

litical remarks in the pulpit, could not let slip

CharleV,S Ranch.

We kinked ourself up into buggy, which
Mr.. Bliven had kindly placed at our disposal,
on Saturday last, and visited this famous
Ranch. In early times it was noted point,
having been settled as early as '45, by Charley
Roather, from whom it derives its name In
49 it was prominent point between the Bay
and the more Northern mines, and for several
years was one of the best stock ranches and
tavern stands in Upper California. 1t is still
one Of the best stock ranges in the country;
but its pretent proprietors have abandoned
public housekeeping, and turned their atten-
tion more particularly to stock-raising and
farming. Some of the fines: producing lands
in the State, are to be found within the boun-
aries of this Ranch 1t is now in reality, as
well as in appearance, a farm house, surroun-
ded by lowing herds AMI elating tiocks-eve-
rything in fact, to be found around thrifty
and well-conducted farmhouse in the older
States. We enjoyed the freedom of the ranch
for two days, and left its green fields with re-
gret TO cturn to our home in the almost bar
rem red hills which surround Bidwell. 1t was
pleasant drive, and formed an era worthy of
note in our existence, for we had been cooped
up in the hills, until we had almost forgotten
how beautiful the face of mother earth ap-
pears when the trees are rapidly unfolding
their leaves, and vegetation of every kind is
creeping timidly forth as if to WOO to their
embrace the balmy breath of Spring
On Sunday, Messrs- Pearkes and Van Orden
and ladies', of Mar ysville, visited the ranch,
long enough to discuss the merits of fine
Turkey, and to aid in out-strippng the efforts
of Barnum in the way of a Baby show OF
course, our baby took the premium, but he
had the advantage of age, somewhat. They
were all fine specsmens, and it would have
been a hard matter to have found fou- proud
er, handsoner or happier Bomen-four finer
babics-or four better men.

New County,.

The industrious and influential Mem
Der from Colusi, Mr. Lewis, has intro
duced bill, in accordance with petitions
to create new county. out OF portions OF
Butte, Colusi and Shasta. That a new
county would ultimately have been Gre
atcd out of portions Of the counties
named, is not doubted, for the matter
mas been canvassed for several years by
the inhabitants of the valley portion OF
Butte County, and also, we presume, by
the Inhabitants of the sections proposed
to be taken from the counties of Colusi
and Shasta but it is evident that the
matter has been precipitated by the ac-
ton of Oroville, in endeaving to remove
the county seat of Butte from its present
location. We learn that nearly all the
permanent citizens of the proposed new
county have petitioned for its formation.
Butte county would, at least reap one
benefit from a division as proposed, for
it would increase the representa- on Of
the northern portion Of the State in the
Legislature. The new county would, Of
course be entitled to Member, and the
Legislature would hardly have the in
pudence TO give them one of the three
now assigned to Butte and Plumas.
We learn by gentleman from Forbes
town that that the entire community in
that vicinity are opposed to removing
the county seat to OroviIle, that the per-
mancnt citizens of that refused to petit
tion the Legislature for its removal, and
if the question is forced to an election
will cast unanimous vote against it.
We noticed in the Legislative proceed.
ings a few days since, that petition had
been presented to that body from citi-
zens of Oroviile, praying for the passage
of bill to locate our county seat by ii
plurality vote. The agitato.s and LIB
byites are afraid to trust the people OF
the county upon this question. SatiSft I'd
that the people do not at present desire
a change, they devise this pan to effect
removal against the wishes of the ma
jority. This petition furnishes ample
evidence to the Legislature that major
ity of the people of Butte county do not
desire removal, and we trust the SEN
ate may so regard it. It is an acknowl-
edgment of the weakness of the claims
put forth by Orovillc, which we had not
expected to see them exhibit, and should
convince the Senate that the measure
has been gotten up by few interested
persons, and is unworthy legislative con-
sderation.
Several numerously signed remon-
strances have been presented to the SEN
ate against removal, aud we presume
that body is pretty well informnd in the
facts of the case, and will ,ffer the bill
to remain untouched to the end of the
end of the session, or call it up only FIR
the purpose of defeating it.
