THE LEGISLATURE.

The title of many Of the bills introduced
into the Legislature as reported in the pub
lie Journals, induce us to believe that they
are endeayoring to correct some OF the
grievous and important errors with whlch
so many of our general laws are filled. a
number of proposed amendments to our
Practice Act, we observe, are under consld-
Grafton. of what nature we are unable to de-
termine but trust they are Of a reforming
The boundary line between the counties OF
Humboldt and Klamath has been more
clearly defined. In this connection we would
call the attention Of our representatives to
a point of disputed territory, (at the mouth
of the South Fork, between this county and
Humboldt, which should be more clearly de-
fined.
The inequality Of representation is recelv-
ing some notice, and there is an apparent
disposition to remedy this evil. We are
pleased to see that our representative, Mr..
Upton, is exerting himself in this behalf
From the high consideration in which he is
held in the House of Representatives, and
the prominent and influential part he ap-
pears to be taking in affairs of State, give
us a hope that something will be done for
us in this particular. The counties of Hum
boldt, Siskiyou, Klamath and Trinity COM
pose the 18th Senatorial District, having
one senator and four representatives. The
population of these counties enttle them to
at least two senator's and six representatives.
The counties Of Siskiyou and Trinity under
proper apportionment would each be en-
titled to two representatives. The North
has bceu too long imposed upon by her un-
equal representation, and it is time some
steps were taken to obtain our rights.
Mr. Cosby has given notice Of bill
making two States out of California. When
we learn how he proposes to divide the
State we have something to say about the
matter.

Bay~We are indebted to Mr.. A. MONROE
for copies Of the Humboldt Times, Of Jan
26 and Feb. 3. From them we gather the
following items
Stephen b. Grummond, one of the par
ties indicted at the last term Of the Court
Of Sessions, for an assault, with intent to
commit murder, on the person of Henry
Rhoner, in October last, has returned and
given bail for his appearance.
The citizens of Union have held a meet
ing for the purpose of getting up a petition
to Congress to establish Mail route direct
from the Bay to San Francisco. In speak.
ing Of this matter the Times says =
BY means Of the Express, we receive via.
Trinidad, the news from San Francisco cv-
cry two weeks, yet not letter, not a pa
per, not passenger, nor a dollar, nor an

Within the limits of our
county there are only five or six marriagea~
bic ladies' That this is q most sadly to be
deplored state Of affairs, nobody will deny.
Our young men are ready, willing and anX-
ious to enter into life-partnership arrange
ments, whenever opportunity Offers but un-
fortunately we lack the opportunlt,es. Will
not some strong-minded woman gather up
cargo of young ladies, and ship them di-
rect for Trinity? There would, we guaran-
tee, be no difficulty in disposing of them at
profitable adrance! We would suggest,
however to any philanthropic individual who
should enter into this undertaking, to have
them strongly boxed up, and forwarded on
the through line, or our friends in the lower
Counties will prc-cmpt them as they pass
along, thus robbing us Gas they always have
done heretofore, of consignments of that
description, put up expressly for the Trini-
ty market

Ton THUMB.-The correspondent Of an
Eastern paper says:
Tom Thumbs papa is dead He went
insane some months ago, and was placed
in the asylum. He WAS Subsequently re-
leased as partially restored But his habits
were immoderate, and he soon finished his
destiny. He is said to be worth $50, 600
Tom Thumb and his two maiden sisters will
probably come in for $50, 600 each, the wild
ow of course inheriting $50, 900 for her third
It is not true that TON is married nor expects
to be. He is mere child in intellect, al
though man in years. His mind is built
on the same size of grandeur that Nature
bestowed upon his body. His sisters are
large. well-made women, and really hand
some. The General is, therefore, rare
phenomenon Give him his sled and his
other playthings, and he is content. Give
him money, too. Don't forget Mat-for he
is the quintessence Of sordid meanness in pc
cuniary affairs. However, we all have ouI
faults

nesA- The Board Of Supervisors at their
last session took considerable pains in laying
out the road districts in just and equitable
manner, and in a way that would ensure the
working Of the roads. The information thew
were able to obtain however, in re.,ion to
several of the districts, was SO vague and
imperfect that they may require revising.
Road overseers we're appointed in all the
districts, and it is to be hoped that those
gentlemen who received the appointments
VIII take the necessary steps required by
law, and enter promptly upon the discharge
of their duties; and we trust the citizens
throughout the county will, both by the
prompt payment Of their road tax and in la
Dor, aid and assist the overseers in their en-
deavors to improve our public highways, for
it is certainly true that unless they do en-
courage and assist those appointed bv law,
it is impossible that any great improvement
can be made. The act concerning roads and
highways needs looking after by our Legis.
lature, and we trust will receive attention at
an early day.

B@TM Mr. A. +. RAYNEs intends very soon
to start his Express line from Weaver to
Humboldt Bay. This will be great con
venicncc, not only for us, but for the people
of the Bay. AS things are now, their com
munication is so very irregular and unccr-
tain with other points, that they are often
two months at time without having either
a mail or express. We trust the inhabit-
ants at the Bay will further Mr.. Raynes in
his undertaking for the benefit to them will
be great

RAJ In our last weeks issue we noticed
the appointment of JAS A. Patterson as In
dian Agent for this State
Mr. Patterson was resident of this Coun-
ty in early days. and Foreman Of the first
Grand Jury ever organized in it.
We congratulate Mr.. Patterson upon his
preferment, and the people of the State
upon their good fortune in having such an
efficient gentleman appointed to this respon-
sible position The citizens of the North
ern counties feel the necessity Of having an
active, thorough-going officer, at this, to US,
post.

Gag~ Messrs j. c. Wood, and Fred. Wal
tcrs are improving a portion Of the lower
end of Main st. There is much room for
improvement at this particular place, and we
should be pleased to see the remainder of
the street improved in like manner. This
is the main entrance to our town, and GER

thing but favorable impression, aside from
the Inconvenience to those who travel over

RoBT. A. McCABE-With the subject OF
this article who met with his death in the
late steamboat explosion on the Sacramen-
to, we had but little personal acquaintance.
We recollect, however, travelling through
the valley with him last summer, when his
kind and friendly manner won our esteem
McCabe has many friends in our midst, who
mourn his loss. He was one of the few
young men, arriving in California at an car
ly day, who could truthfulIy say he haG
withstood all the allurcmcnts of vice and
and intemperance, so temptingly set before
him. We copy the following account of his
funeral from the Sacramento State Jourmal:
Quite an imposing spectacle was day before
yesterday presented in Second street, in the fu-
neral procession of one of the unfortunate victims
from the explosion of the Belle, Robert y. Nc
Cabe-showng in full light, the thorough and in
imitabe style always attending the operations of
our indefatigable Expressmen, who seem to pos
sess, ntuitivcly, the faculty above all classes of
men for high taste in matters Of appropriate dis
play
At three and half p. VI. the body was depos-
tied in the spacious office of Messrs. G.. H. Wines
q Co.'s Express, where the Rev Mr.. Pratt was in
vitcd to attend professionally, and who made a
few appropriate remarks, in his eloquent style, to
numerous friends present After which, last
look at the once manly features Of one Of the no.
best Of the fraternity-respcctcd and honored by
all his compccrs, for his uniform frank and cour-
tcous bearing.
The procession then formed. The hcarsc-that
very un-cXprcss like looking vehicle-with white
and black plumes-drawn by black horses-sur-
rounded by six pall-bcarers, on horseback then
carriage with the clergyman and near friends,
followed by the Express wagons of Messrs. Wines
& Co., Pacific, Wells, Fargo q Co., and Langton
* Co., each horse wearing u black and white
plume, and pail trimmed tasteiully with white
border, and each wagon covered with pail of
the same kind extending over the seat, on which
was single driver, dressed each like the other,
with whip in socket, trimmed with Grape Then
came numerous carriages containing the entire
balance Of gentlemen connected with the Express
scs Of this city and other friends of the deceased.
As the procession moved up J. street we could
not but feel truly thankful impulse of the heart
towards that body OF noblc-hcarted men, who
showed such generous respect for the memory and
remains of one of their profession. cut down in
the hey-day of lifc-iar from friends and kindred
and all those whose duty and privilege it is to
prepare last resting-placc on earth for the re-
mains of the mortal.
Many expressions Of like feeling were Heard
from the people, as thd procession moved towards
the ccmetry, where, by the side of Mcbride, of the
same Express, who was lost from the PeayI and
our dear friend, Mount, lies all that remains of
kind poor McCabc-eXcept his memory, which

be- Portuguese Joe, who has been insane
for some time, has entirely recovered his rea-
SON He says he he had a thousand dollars
hidden in his cabin. 1t is supposed that
some friend in human shape administered a
powerful drug to the poor fellow, and then
robbed him of his money, the effects of the
drug having for time destroyed his rca-
son. In his mad wandcrings during our
coldest weather, he froze his feet badly, and
is still unable to get about. 1t is doubtful
whether he will ever entirely recover from
the effects Of the villanous deed.

bs2~ We learn from Mr. Brastow of the
Express firm of Horsley & Brastow, that
on Saturday last, Elias Graham shot John
Naples. 1t occurred at Hamblin & Ora,

River in Siskiyou County. The weapon
used was a rifle, and the cause, a drunken
quarrel Graham made his escape and had

TREAsURER's REpoRT.-By reference to
the report of the Treasurer published to-day,
it will be seen that at the time of his report
there were outstanding Warrants to the
amount of $l8,094 81. Since making that
report there has been allowed by the Board
of Supervisors accounts to the amount OF
So, 9G8 sc, which being added to the above
will make $22,O63,77; deduct from this
balance Of 1923 10 county funds in Treas
urer's hands, we find the indebtedness Of the
county to be $21l40 So. The revenue col
lectcd during the last quarter has been
small, scarcely any foreign miners license
being collected from the fact that most of
the Cinnamon left the county when the hard
weather set in, and those who remained were
too poor to pay. The principal revenue has
been derived from the sale Of merchants and
traders licenses. Az the last sitting of the
Board heavy bill for Judges, inspectors
and clerks of last general election also ju-
rors' fees were allowed, amounting in the
aggregate to one thousand dollars. These
expenses are unusual ones, and being al
lowed when our receipts were small, they
have assisted to swell our county indebted
ness considerably The present quarter
opens under more auspicious circumstances;
an increased amount of revenue will be col
lected, and the prospects are now that our
expenditures will be comparatively light

TCANoN CREEK.-Our accounts from the
Canon Creek mines are most encouraging
Last week the different companies on the
creek who have been mostly engaged during
the winter in sluicing off their claims, com
mcnced washing up. The result has proved
that they have not abored in vain. We are
informed that there is scarcely company
who are not making more than wages There
are between three and four hundred miners,
and all are at work. Dedy & Co. picked
up over one hundred dollars, mostly of coarse
gold, in one day, while sluicing off their
claim. Depnetts Race will be brought in
to the diggingS in two months; his saw mill
is already in operation. 1t is the intention
to bring this race to the top of the Oregon
Gulch Mountain, thus commanding the un-
worked diggings Of Oregon Gulch. The
race will be fumed all the way Mr. Depi-
nett expects the rent of water along the
Canon Creek diggings will more than pay
for its extension to Oregon Gulch.

ANOTHER RoBBERY-On Monday last
Messrs Pierce, Church & Co., discovered
that several clapboards on the rear side Of
their warehouse in Faggsville were loose,
bearing the appearance Of having been re-
moved and replaced. Suspcctinga a robbery,
they employed man to sleep there On
Monday night, about l2J o'clock, the per-
son guarding the house heard some one re-
moving the loose boards, and fred q pistol
in that direction; one Of the robbers dropped
on the ground, which induces the belief that
he was hit. There appeared to be three of
them, but before the guard could light his
candle, they had dccampcd leaving nothing
behind them but some pieces of paper satu-
rated with oil, probably intended to light
them in selecting the most valuable articles
Mcssrs. p, G. & Co. are unable to tell
whether they have been robbed or not from
the fact that they are constantly putting
goods in and taking others out, and with
out taking an inventory the fact could not
be ascertaincd; the presumptionis, however
that the robbers have been in the nightly
habit of helping themselves to whatever they
wished Merchants having storehouscs out
of town had better not leave them unguardcd
There is a gang of thieves among us and it
will be well for all to keep an eye on sus-
picious characters.
