County EXPENSES.

ECONOMY is the road to wealth." says the
old proverb, and certainly the same rule
should be applied to the redemption of our
County and State from the Indebtedness that
is weighing us down and destroying our en-
ergies for public purposes Heretofore we
have taken occasion to refer to such matters
as we deemed of importance, having in view
a reduction of our county expenses.
Last week we proposed to give out the
board Of prisoners by contract This is done
in other counties, and we see no good rea-
son why it should not be tried here We
are now paying at the rate Of ten dollars per
week for each prisoner, and it is apparent
to us that it can be done at the rate of from
five to seven.
BY adopting the course we recommend
we believe that from three to four thousand
dollars per year can be economised.
The jailor receives at present two hundred
dollars per month AS the Shetiff is respon-
sible for the safe keeping Of the prisoners, it
is manifestly the duty Of the county to pay
him sufficient sum to obtain trustworthy
competent agent for that purpose, and this
we believe at this day can be done for from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty per
month. There would he saving of at least
six hundred per year.
The hospital under existing circumstances
is becoming most fruitful source of indebt-
edness. 1t is probably one of the most diff
cult subjects the Board will be called upon
to act on. We shall have something to say
about it in the future; and as often as mat
ters of public interest present themselves to
our understanding we shall feel called upon
to comment upon the matter. In doing this
we will neither regard friend or foe. We
have duty to perform to the public, and
shall discharge that duty to the best Of our
ability.

Defence of MIR. GWin.

The following able defence of Hon. w. NJ
Gwin was written in reply to an article of the
Aita California and published in that paper
We commend it to our readers as a trium-
phant vindication of that distinguished Dem
ocrat from the false charges that have been
made against him by Know Nothings and
Niger Worshippers:
ED1ToRs ALTA :-Gentlemen-ln the heat
of partisan warfare, wholesale denunciation
of political opponents is the usual weapon for
the partisan press.-But the neutrals or in
dependent journals, as they style themselves,
have pretended to be specific in their allega-
tons, when assailing public or private char
acter.-Can such intentions be attributed to
YOU, when your leading editorial in yester-
days Alta, in its comments upon DR.. Gwin,
is regarded
In all civilized countries, the man charged
with the most infamous crime is presumed to
be innocent until proved to be guilty; but in
this instance, a man who has held tie most
exhaltcd station known in our country the
associate and intimate friend of most, if not
all of the great statesmen of all parties, now
controlling the destinies of this mighty en-
pire is condemned as guilty of moral and po-
litical dishonesty without scintilla of evil
dence being produced to justify the sentence.
Every well-intormed man Except perhaps
the writer of the article) must be aware that
such assaults do not injure DR.. Gwin, or
convey suspscon of his unftness to the
mind of any one who will be called upon to
pass upon his claims to reelection to the
United States Senate, unless the proofs are
incontrovertible and conclusive that such un-
scrupulous denuncatious are sustained and
authorized by facts let it is desirable that
men who have borne prominent part in the
affairs of our government should not be
treated worse by the independent press than
the greatest malctactor in the land.
In the multitude of his official acts, while
a Senator from this State, each ca not now
be reviewed, to defend him from the accusa-
ton made in gross that "he was always leg
islating for his private interests instead of
the public good" Ournational statute books
are full of laws, the work of his hands, and
the result of days, weeks, months and years
of toll, which will exempt him from even
the shadow of justification for such charges.
Look upon the laws bearing upon the inter
ests of this State since 1850, (and there is
scarcely one Of them which was not drawn
by DIR. Gwin, and passed by bis exerton
through Congress,) and show me, if you can
the ''prvate gain" that could result to him
from their operation!
But, you may ask, why it is that DR.
Gwin has been for years thus assaulted, if
there is no cause for the suspicion that he
has used his high station for his own benefit!
The answer is at hand. He has been pursu-
ed for years by hungry set of Office seeking
hyenas, who, failing to use him to get fat
or profitable jobs for them, have sought re-
vense by hunting him down in this

MOUNTAIN COURIER

We have received the first number of a
splightly, handsomely got up, weekly paper,
published at Yankee Jims bearing the above
name.
1t is published by Parker Il Graves and
Edited bv VIM. c. Parker.
In speaking Of the future course the edit
or says:
"The adherent ofno political or other fac
tion-determined to act independently of all
parties-caming the right to express freely
our views upon every topic demanding pub
lie thought, and of taking whatever position
and advocating whatever measure We may
deem most conductive to the general good
Of society at arge-courting no favor-ask-
inc none, but that to which our humble eff
forts may entitle us"
With this declaration of independence the
Courier goes forth to the world Long may
it wave.
The Placer herald., 1856-12-20

CoRREcTIoN-Lastw week in speaking of
the board of prisoners confined in our county
iail we stated that we heard that prisoners,
are sometimes only confined in the ja'l for
two or three days and a full weeks board
was charged for the same Since the publ
cation we have examined the audited bills of
the Sheriff and are satisfied that our intor-
mant was mistaken. The bills audited and
the ialors books both show that the board
of prisoners is charged for by the day and
fractions of day, at the rate of ten dollars
per week.
The Placer herald., 1856-12-20

A RICH CLAIM.-The claim situated near
Todd's Valley, and known as the Dardanells,
has been pierced by tunnels nine hundred
feet in one direction, and at right angles
with that one crossing it in the centre of
the pay dirt; one two hundred feet. 1t is
found exceedingly rich the entire width and
for seven hundred feet Of the length. AS a
proof of the fact, two men last week by two
days washing took out ftty ounces of gold.
The pay dirt is said to be from six to ten
feet deep, but of course the best pay is found
upon the bedrock. Our friend Judge Long
ley isa principal owner in this claim and has
so many social virtues that people do not
envy him in his good fortune The coinci-
dent of good luck and prime good fellow,
meeting in one person, is so remarkable that
we could not refrain from mentioning the
fact.

FEMALE GARRULIrY ACCOUNTED For
"An old eastern tradition says that when
Adam and Eve were in the happy garden,
there, was sent down to them a present of
- baskets of chit chat, and the baskets being
emptied, the contents were scattered about
the garden Adam being in rather pensive,
thoughtful mood paid less attention to this
present than bis fair partner, and he gather
ed only three baskets full, while Eve nimbly
picked up the other nine and carefully laid
them away for future use; consequently, the
stock of small talk which women have, COM
pared to men, is as three to one"

THE DocToRs AND HooPs.-Ihe editor
of the Medical and Surgical Journal comes
out strongly in favor of hoops lie says
nothing can be more appropriate during the
heat of the summer than light frames to raise
the weight of the skirts from the hips and

alton. however and cautions the ladies against
making such very airy spirits of themselves
as to take cold. Yes, lsdiss beware of the
whoop;ne cough.

New ISyENTIoN.-Young gentlemen, Civ
en- to promenading with ladies, now wear a
tight strip of steel, stitched in the outer
