States Prison Contract,

The Governor has approved the act for
maintaining the States Prisoners. The State
contracts to pay $4,000 per month, to be
paid monthly, for five years for their support
the prisoners to be guarded at the expense
of the State, and the contractor to give no
consideration for their labor Was ever shch
recklessness exhibited before by the legisla-
tive and executive auehority of State Was
there ever greater swindle practiced upon
the people of California OF course, Gen.
Estell has the contract Did not Gen Z. give
Neely johnson the nomi nation for Governor
Was there ever more outrageous or damna-
bic contract Is not the labor of the convcts
worth double the expense of their support
And yet the Know Nothing Legislature and
Governor contract to pay $4,000 per month
for their support for five years, to guard them
at the expense of the State, and throw in the
profits of their labor. Away goes six hundred
thousand dollars of the peoples cash, besides
the expense of guarding the prisoners, and
other incidental appropriations for paying the
salaries Of Directors, sc. Last summer when
the Democracy told the people that there was
such combination formed at the Know-No-
thing State Convention, they were not be.
heved. Do the people believe it now:

Chinaman Robbed and Murdered.

We learn that two persons have been ar
rested at Wyandotte, on charge of robbing
and numbering a Chinaman. They met the
Chinaman and demanded his money, and upon
his refusal shot him. lie was found shortly
after, while his body was yet warm. The ev-
idence against them, is said to be circumstan-
tial. Chinese evidence is good for nothing in
the eyes of the law, notwithstanding the law
owes them protection, and it is this fact, we
presume, which renders attacks upon them
SO frequent and daring. These outrages, if
continued, will induce the people to admit
their evidence, and inflict summary justice up
on the perpetrators, in courts of humanity.
The names of the parties arrested are George
French and jeremiah 0dell. They have been
committed to answer. They are said to be
sports, and after their arrest, bantered the
Court for o game.
Butte record., 1856-03-29
A Eizzlc.

There was considerable of an attempt at
rain on Friday morning, but it failed to ac-
compli.h much. Clouds gathered for awhile
in the morning, ''the lightnings flashed and
thunders rolled,' but it was not much of a
shower after all Old Sol come rolling along
up about his usual time-light broke in from
the southeast-the clouds passed sullenly over
to the northwest, and like the excited hopes
of our miners; grew "small by degrees and
beautifully less" Thus endeth March Let
US hope the Ditch will now prove reliable
The river has been trying to get up in the
world to exhibi: some of its former pranks.
but it was feeble attempt. Everything has
fzzled but the drouth. We should not be sur
prised to see England hzzle out of the next
war with Uncle Sam. If We do not have rain
to foster the green things of earth, the nomi-
nation of Fillmore and Donnelson will fzzle
The Legislature of California will fizzle The
refusal of the Know Nothing Legislature to
adjourn is all that prevents a rain, for. not
withstanding the quotation that "the rains
fall alike upon the just and the unjust it is
believed that the wickedness of the legislative
body is sufficient to prevent the showering of
Heavens blessing upon California. Oh for a
Cromwell to dissolve the wicked par lament,
or prophet to cal. up shower as of old.

Some person had removed the oars from the

using strip of board for an oar The boat
was carried into the rapid current, and he
Jumped into the water and struck out for the

Almost a Fire.

One of the Lodgers at the National Hotel.
who indulged in late readings, on Tuesday
Evening last. was awakened shortly after he
had blown out his light, by strong smell Of
smoke; but upon examination, discovered
nothing wrong, and again turned in. He
was again aroused by the smoke and soon dis
covered his bed was on fire. A slight roast
ing of the sleeper and destruction of the bed
clothes was all the damage done. The rumor
that the gentleman was in the interest ol
QroYille. has been contradicted

The Ditch.

We noticed the hapds who have been at
work on the Ditch, we're collected around the
office on Friday morning, we presume for the
purpose of being paid off We infer from this
that the enlargement has been completed
The Trustees did not accept the Ditch last
week from the contractor, but required some
further trimming. This has now been accom-
plished, and we trust the Ditch will now meet
the expectations of the company, and supply
the million miners in waiting near Oroyille,
with water

Go to Work.

Those who are opposed to removal of the
County seat, should 60 to work and see that
the voters turn out. That is all that is re-
9uired. Send g person to each and eve
ry precinct--particularl to Oroville-to
work on election day. Unless this is done,
at least one third of the Oroville vote will be
cast against Bidwell! A little exertion will
be required to secure us an overwhelming ma
jority in that important precinct. Send a
lobby down with two dollars and quarter tc
logroll
