The Ex-Treasurer Sentenced.

During the progress of the investiga-
tion into the affairs of the ex-Treasurer,
Dr. Bates has performed two acts, either
of which would have been more than sus-
picious, and might well have excited a
strong doubt in relation to his strict integ-
rity, in the mind even of his best person
al friend
The first of these was his resignation, at
the time when the charges of malfeasance
In office were presented against him.
There Is, we think, no doubt, that he was
so advised by his counsel, and so consid-
cred himself, that upon the acceptance of
his resignation, all the proceedings upon
the impeachment would be necessarily sus-
pended, and the disgrace attendant upon
the termination of the impeachment suit
thus avoided. Had Dr. Bates been per-
fectly and strictly guiltless, he would not
have taken this decided step. He would
have courted, rather than have avoided,
an investigation at that time, and would
have afforded every facility which he might
to thorough search and study into his
affairs, into all his acts. If he was guilt
less, the investigation could only have
made his integrity more apparent, could
only have had on him the effect which the
scorching, melting, refining process, has
upon silver and upon gold, which makes
them shine brighter, and leaves them
purer and richer and better.
The next mistake which DIR. Bates
made, if his object was to convince the
people of California that he was either an
innocent or prosecuted man was his obsti-
nate refusal to plead before the high court
OF impeachment. Suppose that he could
not consclentiously acknowledge their ju-
rlsdlction-suppose that technicality did
stand IN the path of such an acknowledge
ment-lt he had committed no wrong acts,
ne should have been happy to 90 before
the court which assumed the power to try
MS case, and there prove to them, and
and through them to the world, his inno
cence But he has chosen another course
lie has, as appears to us, taken ADVANTAGE
OF very slight grounds to avoid an investi
CATION into his official acts The conse-
quences of his course are now resting upon
him. He stands, to-day, before the people
of California-who, in their confidence
elevated him to position and to place Of
trust "a disgraced, dishonored man.
Never more can he accept place of profit
or of trust. He is put under ban, and
for him there is no repentance in the fu-
ture, no Nepenthe which can relieve him
from the odium which the sentence of the
court inficts upon him. Guilty, not only
OF fraud and peculation, but guilty of a
greater wrong, a violation of trust, a viola
tion OF confidence reposed in him; his fu-
ture, unless his heart is callous, and hard
as lead, must be one of suffering and sor-
row. The verdict of petit ury, in a
criminal court, which may follow in the
wake OF this rendered by the court of i'm
peachment, even though it consigns DR.
Bates to felon's cell, cannot. we think
cause to him severer pang than this sen.
tence, which cuts him off from the fellow.
ship, and reduces him from the equality of
all honorable and highminded men.-Alto.

GOOD FOR MECHANICS The mechanics
of this State, says the Sacramento Bee,
will be gratifed to learn that law has
been passed by the Legislature, and only
awaits the signature Of the Governor
which extends mechanics liens to bitches,
fumes, aqueducts, bridges, and works of
like character. 1t is an admirable, wise
and just enactment, and we congratulate
the mechanics of California on its passage.
They may safely go to work now, and be
insured in their industry against any and
all contingencies. The Mechanics Lien
Law, especially as it is now amended, is
one of the noblest adornments of our civil
code.

IMPORTANT to Miners, Travelers, DC.
There is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable than
that arising from impure connections
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily suf-
ferlng. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune
VI all the ills that affect man, none are more
terrible than those of private nature Dread
tul as it is in the person who contracts it
frlghtful as are its ravages upon his constitu
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when 1t is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease
should attend to it at once by consulting some
physician, whose responsibility and education
enables him to warrant safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
". DIX. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice. he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal.
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat See

SOUTH FORK MINING LAWS.

4 7 A MEETING of the Miners assembled at
IA the house of Mr.. Mark McNicholas No
vember 4th, 1854, it was unanimously agreed
that Mr.. James Coogan be nominated President,
and Mr.. John Hogan, Secretary And then and
there the following resolutions were formed and
agreed to-
ARTICLE l. All old claims are to be fully in
sured to the companies owning them, provided
they have been worked by the same compa-
nies the previous season, and that the same old
companies intend to work same claims the ensu-
ING season, so far as river claims are concerned,
and not otherwise.
ART. 2. All old claims fully acknowl-
edged in their full extent, and said claims are
to be respected by having them recorded
ART. 3. All river claims are to extend two
hundred feet long to each man, together with
the bed bar and banks, if any, of the river, ta-
ken up after this date.
ART H. All claims can be secured from the
time the river gets high, or from the time Mi
ners are set idle by high water, until the 18th
of June, by having notice posted on said claim
and having it recorded; and after the 18th of
June, said claim must be worked, or have the
notice renewed every third day.
ART. 5. All surface claims are to be same
size, say two hundred feet long by one hundred
feet wide to each man.
ART. g. All tunnel claims are to be one
hundred feet wide through the hill; and all
shaft or deep claims are to be one hundred feet
square to each man.
All these laws to take effect from this date,
and to stand permanent until such time as
majority of the miners think proper to have
them repealed.
All these laws to extend to the junction of
the South Fork and North Branch of the Gala
veras river, and to extend up so high as Spen-
GERS Bar, and no further.

DR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences In that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness
OF sight, loss of muscular power, papitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability.
arrangement Of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &C.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory. con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self-distrust, love
of solitude, timidity, &C., are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not fail to call on
Dr. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delcacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.

THEORY OF THE EYEs.-Dark blue eyes
are most common in persons of delicate, re-
fined or effeminate nature; light blue, and
much more grey eyes, in the hardy and
active. Greenish eyes have generally the
same meaning as the grey. Hazel eyes
are the most usual indications of mind
masculine, vigorous and profound.
