Mr.. Cashy,s Road BiII.

We see from the Legislative reports tnat Mr
Cosby has given notice of bill having Tor It's
object the better communication of the north
ern portion of the State, that IT, the counties Of
Siskiyou and the Klamath country, with Sacra-
mento and San Francisco. Ready communica-
ton is very much needed, and we should be
pleased to see a good wagon road from Yreka
TO the Sacramento valley.
From the tone and spirit of Gov. Johnson's
inaugural however, we do not see how he can
approve any bill comforting such special rights
and privileges TO a company or an individual,
as would insure such connection. He strongly
intimates, that special legislation has been had
in violation of what he conceived TO be the spir-
it of our Constitution, and although he does not
point out, in what that legislation consists. still
we think from the tone of the message, that such
a bill as the one proposed by Mr.. Cosby, would
be against his ideas of constitutional legislative
policy. He is certainly very strict in his con-
struction of the constitution.
If then, the Constitution will not, in the eyes
of the Governor, permit him 10 sign bill CIV
ing such privileges to a combination of indivi-
dnals, or corporate powers to an individual,
should that damp our ardor, or cause the people
of the north to abate their efforts to secure to
people good wagon road By no means
it should rather increase efforts, and cause
Us to do by individual exertion, what we are
prohibited from doing by corporate strength.
Where there is wrong, there is also remedy,
we have been taught, and there must be power
somewhere to secure to individual enterprise
its reward. Does that power not exist in the
Board of Supervisors of the counties, through
which this road would passl Cannot they
authorize its construction, and as in the case of
Bridges and Ferries, authorize the collection of
toll upon it for certain number of yearsl
We have not examined the subject particu-
larly, but merely drop these suggestions that
our representatives may, if the Supervisor act,
does not give the power, have the law so amend
ed as to embrace it. We would rather our own
people, those who know the location of the
road, the amount of labor necessary for its con-
strucfion and the probable travel which will
pass over it, should fix the toll, than the Legis-
lature of the State. Another view of the SUBJ
ject has presented itself to US l, is this, that
the makers of the road, by their possession and
Improvement, where the land has not already
been appropriated, either by public, or by pri-
vate individuals, would gain such proprietary
right. as to authorize them to collect tolls upon
it. This last view may sound like encouraging
monopoly, or squaiter sovereignty, and we wish
to say. that we are not welded to it, but merely
throw this, as the other out, for the purpose of
causing reflection upon a subject, about which
we ought all to feel great interest. In the
mining region we are without roads, and we
hope, such constitutional legislation may be had
this winter, if it does not already exist, as will
secure good roads throughout the mountainous
portion of our State.
The Shasta courier., 1856-02-23
Court of Sessions.

Judge Hinckley gave an important opinion
few days since in the case of the People VS.. Bent
leg, indicted by the Grand Jury for misde-
meanor, which was being tried before the Court of
Sessions. The bill of Indictment had been
found when a member of the body, who
had made up and oppressed opinion about the
affair adversely TO the defendant. For this rea-
son the Court decided thatthe bill was improperly
found, and that grand jury should be asfree from
prejudice, under the Statutes of California as a
petit jury should be. His having made up and
expressed opinion the subject, would
have excluded him from the petit jury box. and
consequently he was disqualified from acting as
a grand juror. Hence the law permitting
grand jurors to be called to testify before their
fellows, would either disqualify the member
thus called, for further service as a Juror or il
would vitiate the presentment itself.
Queryl Would not that fact invalidate all
the acts Of that Grand Jury7 II one indictment
was defective, by reason of the impeJection or
Wegaiay of the grand jury, would not that same
disability extend to all the acts and doings of
that body There seems to be but one opinion
far as we have heard an expression, about
the law of Judge Hinckley's decision, and that
is, that under the law governing, the decision
was correct. If this decision be law, no ndict-
ments can be had against any bawdy house or
notorious nuisance, under our statutes
We call the attention o. our law makers to this
subject

The Bail of the 2cud.

Whilst we are working off our paper. the
beaux and bellies of Shasta, and the surrounding
country, are enjoying the pleasures of the dance.
We have looked in, and there beheld an array
of beauty and fashion, such as is rarely seen on
the Pacific slope-charming ladies dressed taste
fully, with graceful step, and pleasure beaming
eye,' teach many bachelor heart the religious
truth, that it is not good for man to be alone.
We observe some few very pretty feet and ankles,
and will here note as peculiarly which struck
us with force, that all ladies with small feet and
preit;ly turned ankles wore short dresses, not.
withstanding Fashion says let your dresses trail
But we digress The gentlemen in their
Sunday best,' are doing the agreeable, whis-
pering sentiment, or indulging in all those little
polite noihings. which serve to kill time, and are
so indispensable, if you talk at all, at dancing
party.
The room is tastefully decorated, the floor a.
smooth as an ice covered lake. the music inspir.
ing, and everything is passing of very delight.
fully, just all the parties which the Masonic
Fraternity get up, do.
We suppose that there will be "no sleep till
morn. where youth and pleasure meet" but thai
early dawn will find the gay and festive throng
still celebrating the birthday of the father oil
his country.

Almost n Lynchinx.

On Friday last, man who had been suspected
of stealing for some time past, from the miners
near the Tower House caught and taken
to the Tower House where jury of miners
was empanneled, and the guilt fairly established
upon him by miners jury'sverdict The verdict
was, that the persons from whom he had stolen,
three in number, should each give him four
lashes, with a piece of rope. When the first
man wentto infiict his portion of the punishment,
the thief begged piteously, that he forgave him
his part of the wrong, and the other two followed
the example of the first, so he was released, and
made of the fastest tracks out of that neigh
borhood, that had been made in those dggngs
for many day.
The anti gaming act. and the fluttering Of silks
in the dens OF iniquity in the Cities have filled
our country with the most abandoned vagabonds
on earth. They are pretty closely watched,
however,and will be punished in an hour when
! they IodkId6f for it.
