California Politicians.

| The State of California is blessed with
superanuated politicians from the older
States. These who think they are not a
blessing may substitute the opposite term,
| from the one we have employed These pol
ticians are the Joseph Bartlets Of the State.
This remarkable politician figured in the
,oltical world for over thirty years, and, We
lelieve, was the pioneer Of migratory poli-
icians in the young Republic. Daring his
,olitical life, he resided in several Of the
liffereHt towns, counties and States of New
England, and succeeded in representing
'ome counties in the Assembly, and others
n tho Senate He never succeeded in get
ing into Congress, although he once came
within half dozen votes of il. Had there
seen California at that time, to receive
MIN, he would, have made the rifle" and
had long score of distinguished services
itude and confidence of the dominant party.
A waning popularity. followed by defeat,
was the signal for him, to use his own ex-
preston TO see new faces and his SER
vices wero. offered to other communities. II
is far better, perhaps, that the pail Of obiy-
ion should be thrown over the errors Of those
who have preceded us but the American
biogrspher has thought it proper in this
case to disregard the maxm-"De mortuis
nil nisi bonun," and adopt in its stead
DE nortuis nil nisi verun,". that the expo
sition may serve as beacon and warning to
others.
Let tho public ofCaliforna take a view of.
the facts, and see how many. Joe Bartlets
can be found at present in the State eff Cal
ifornia. Let them ascertain how many men
who are unsuccessful in gratifying their am
buion IN one county, seek new faces in
another section of the State. and turn up in
the Legislature. or in some other official po.
siton, to the great astonishment of those
who know them best. We will not stop to
par tiCuiarize, but are confident that from
this evil alone has resulted much of the bad
eAPeriehcA ny VoE yDHbS otate
This class of politicians serve only them
selves. and course, the public interests
must suffer in the ratio of their prosperity
and advancement. 1t is q happy circum-
stance that such men generally retire with
the same rapidity that marked their ad
and the places they usurp are
filed by more staid, sober and permanent
men, who feel that they are legislating for
in attending to the interests Of
their constituents, and in advancing the gen.
sral prosperity

pRoGREss or THE CHINESE SUGAR CANE
In CALIFoRNTA The Red Bluffs Beacon
says that Judge Newell Hall planted eighty
hills Of Chinese sugar cane about the 10Th
OF May, at Oak Wood, near Tehams, nearly
an of which germinated very freely. Now
the cane is from six 20 eight inches high,
and gives promise of abundant yield Many
Of our farmeIs, adds the Beacon, are of the
opinion that the SOrghO Nucre is bound to
occupy an important position among the pro-
ducts of California agriculture. The wild
oats waich are fast dying ont from repeated
moving and pasturage it is thought will
soon be superceded by this cane. which from
the exuoerance of the seed and foliage. will
supply the place of both grain and fodder.
