State Prison Contract.

The State Journal says that il is currently re-
ported on The street. that Gov. johnson has noti-
fled the friends of Gen. Estell, that the bill for
his relief will be vetoed.
| 1t this be so. then has the General been badly.
very badly sold. No one who knows this gem
tleman, believes that it was any love which he
bore tor the principles of the present party in
power, which induced him to join them in their
crusade against the Democracy, and they also
know, that it was not the political corruption of
the Democratic party. which induced him to
leave it. Oh. no; he delights in political plots,
and it makes very little difference to him,
whether he advocates one set of principles or
another, SO long as the principle pays an inter-
est. In leaving the Democratic party when he
fered him in the Kye Eye party OF course out
siders did not know what it was, but as it was
currently reported and generally believed, that
he had a certain unsettled account against the
State. it was settled, that that was to be his re-
ward indeed we regarded it as certain. but if
reports be true he is to be disappointed. Hear
how the State Journal talks to and about him.
we rear tic only sympathy he receives must
come from certain ospiranfs, who will be as badly
sold as himself:
| johnson was elected Governor. Estell was
all right-of course. Months passed, and not a
| word was heard of anything but harmony. He
would have been accounted an ass who even
limited at veto ofthe State Prison bill Iu fact.
| 1t was universally believed that this part of
| State Prison matters virtually settled
Presto. Change! Out comes the Inaugural
The most remarkable document of the ase-one
that was brilliant enough to immortalize dozen
members of the Nee family and we. for the
first time, hear of the long '.housed thunder" )"
Change! again; and we hear that the Governor
has expressed his positive determination to
make Bieler of himself so far as State Prison
matters, at least, are concerned. Does any man
in his senses believe that J. Neely johnson
| would have dared to hint at such an imbro-
Clio willie the Gubernatorial contest was
pending!
We wish VOC joy, Master Estell. This is evil
dently regalar-buiit case of bamboozIe We
have no sympathy for you. nor for your friends
Yon have made your bed, and now you must
roll IN 1t to your hearts content. You are
shrewd enough, and il is only surprising that
| you did not long ago foresee that you would be
badly sold" There is but one step. YOU know.

too much regard for you, General. TO make the

The CHINESE TAx-The Sonora Herald in
speaking of the Chinese uses the following lam
guagc:
"The sentiments of our people with regard ,o
the Chinese have not changed in any respect
The populatl n of Tuo.umne county with a
very few exceptions, are in favor of the present
law taxing foreign miners remaining unchang
ed upon our statute books hey who assert iC
the contrary, mlsrepresent the popular seul
men', and therefore are not worthy OF credence
The people OF this county, and, we believe the
great bulk Of the mining population of Califor
ma, are desirous OF discou,mciqg Chinese immi
grafton"
Let the people of the mining counties speak
out on this subject, for it is to them of more vi
tai interest than all others, at present being ag
tated by our Legislature.
1t is the miners who suffer most from the
presence of this class of people, and if they are
willing TO raise their part of the additional tax
which their absence would necessarily impose
we cannot see, why the Chinese should be tol
Grated in our midst. The mining counties By
unity OF action can direct and control lepisla
ton ON this subject, and if they have not spok
en-, let them now speak, through instructions to
their representatives, and let the policy of the
State be fixed and permanent, for we believe
that any evil can be better endured than these
frequent changes in legislation.
Let this be the last session, if possible, when
time will be taken up with the Chinese ques
ton. An experience of four years with thi.
population, ought certainly to give ample oppor.
tuniy for correct legislation now, and whatev.
er is adopted, let it be so guarded as to be per.
manenk. We wish to refer TO this snhiect anain
