pollsacs and Politicians.

The present age is overrun with superb
cial men and superficial measures. Politi-
clans and Legislators, seek by buncombe
speeches for the dears people to remove the
odium that justly attaches to many of their
acts. The Legislature Of California partic-
ularly, seems to forget that they are the
representatives of the people, and act too
much for themselves-as though they were
the only ones to be benefited or affected by
their legislation. Occasionally q CLEAN OF
their responsibility to their constituents,
appears to cast its rays upon some of them
but its genial influence is too often exhaust
ed in buncombe speeches, and is powerless
when the period of action has arrived.
Public men w-a.days exhibit but few
char acteristcs of many of the prominent
men handed down to US by history, both an
cient and modern. The present age is not
favorable for those who neithor seek nor
shun distinction, and desire renown only
because it is forme1 in the plain path Of du-
ty. They are too apt to seek renown, and
popularity, and their own advancement, al
most regardless of the means Partcu-
larly is this observable in California, and to
such an extent has it been carried, that the
necessity for the Legislature to grant the
people a bill of rights, is nearly as great as
it was two hundred and thirty years ago,
when the second great "Magna Charta "
was exalted by Parliament, from the false
imperious, obstinate, narrow minded, King
Charles, who had so long resisted public
opinion, that his people had ceased to love
him, to trust him, or to fear him.
The public man should be known, as q
gentleman of cultivated mind, polished ad-
dress, active in the discharge of his local and
official duties, honest and industrious, not
eager to display his talents, staunch to his
party, and attentive to the interests of his
constituents We offer no illustrations of
this character from among our public men
The public can make any application they
please.

"HABITU ES.

w. A case of assault and battery came
off day before yesterday in Justice Satford's
Court, which excited much feeling and in
tercst among the bystanders, producing &C.
casional outbursts Of applause and indigna-
ton during the progress of the trial. 1t np
peared that one James F Clark, some time
ago appropriated" the wife of VIM. Edward
McGee, taking her little daughter, beau
tifu little girl of 10 years of age, to become
the servant and drudge of this newly formed
family. 1t appeared from the testimony of
the little girl, Caroline, who told her sad
story with sobs and tears, that Clark had
repeatedly whipped her whenever she men
toned her fathers name and because she
would not acknowledge CLARK as her father!
The unfeeling mother (') appeared as a
witness in defense of Clark, and endeayored
by her testimony to make the Justice believe
that the little girl was whipped by her au-
thority; but her testimony had but little
weight against the simple and touching
story of her child, and Clark was found
guilty amid the applause of the audience
Clark was fined $50, or 80 days in Jail
Oroville daily Butte record., 1857-04-23
Judge Lewis, Wagon Road Bill.

Private advices from Sacramento INFORM
US that Judge Lewis, is actively engaged IN
log rolling his swindling bill through the
Legislature, to compel the taxpayers OF
Butte county to build road to his bridge
Its passage through the Senate is represent
ed as being certain, and in the House as
probable. Ali attempts to amend the DILL
80 as to permit the road to be located as the
Supervisors may deem proper, have been re-
jected, and the bill provides for the construc-
ton of the road through Bdwell. It's not
to be submitted to vote of the people to
say whether they will issue bonds. The
specializing schemes of Judge Lewis must
not be permitted to pass such an ordeal.
Bonds must be issued to be sold for fifty or
sixty ceuts on the dollar, and the tax pay
ers must pay interest upon them, because
Judge Lewis has built bridge and COM
mands the people to build a road to it.
1t is to be regretted that Senator McGee
should have permitted himself to become the
tool of unprincipled schemers, and consent
to the preparation Of this Infamous
swndle upon the citizens of Butte county,
who have repeatedly honored him with their
confidence.
We can only rely upon the Assembly, to
protect the county against this imposition
and trust that our members, as they value
the esteem and confidence of their constitu-
ents, will see that it does not pass that body.
The State Journal in favoring this bill is
encouraging a swindlng scheme, as infa-
nous and damnable as ever invok ed Legis-
lative aid. They may have been deceived in
the matter. If so, will they have the kind
ness to denounce it as gross fraud upon our
people, for private ends'

RoBBERIEs IN YUBA CoUNrY.-The Ma

were committed in that county. The first
occurred at Long Bar, where safe con-
tanning $4,000 the property of Mr.. Samuel
Stephens was removed to parts unknown
The second took place at Peppers mill, some
two miles from the above place, between
Fosters Bar and Keystone Ranch A car
pet sack containing $500 was carried off.
No arrests, we believe have as yet been

FRIGHrFuL AND FATAL ACCIDENTAL
Volcano Ledger, occurred at the Oneida
quartz lode, about one mile from this place,
on Tuesday last. 18th inst. Richard Long
being at the bottom of the shaft two hun
dred feet deep, caught hold of the bucket
instead of getting in to it, in order to be
raised out When within ten feet or there
abouts of the top, his hold was relinquished
and he fell to the bottom, one hunred and
ninety feet, passing through flooring of
one and half inch plank, into well of
water nine feet in depth. A person eugag
ed at drifting near by, pulled him out of the
from the shaft and carried to the hospital.
Strange as it may seem to be, and really is,
Drs. Harris and Crawford kept him alive,
with stimulants, for eight hours, during
which time he retained his senses. 1t was
impossible however, to procure a re action,
and in consequence death ensued from the
shock, or conclusion. HIS legs and arms
were literally crushed. Amputation would
have been necessary had it been possible to
have saved his life. Long was native of
Ireland, and 80 years of age-no family.
1t is thought by some that he let go his hold
on the bucket purpo.ely, as he had previous
" threatened his own life

Nor REcovERED.-The body of little Jane
Howard, who was drowned some time since,
at Bingham's Bar, in this county, has not
been recovered. We received a visit on
Wednesday, from the distressed father, JAS
Howard, Esq, who desires to state that, If
the body should be found ON the river
below, the intelligence will be gratefully
received by him at Forbestown. We feel
confident that those operating in the river
will be prompt to forward him any Informal

spectng the recovery of the body.

Mr.. EDIToR

Mr.. EDIToR-
Senior "Decorum," who takes so much
pains to inform the public that he is " de-
corous," may have forgotten that the
church goers " at the Court House enjoy
certain privileges that are not to be over
balanced by little ''smoke," or the exhibit
ton of one of the " habitues " of the Court
House in the shape of a letter "V." While
these sensitive church goers enjoy the priv
ilege of assembling in the Court room, there
to worship their various heavenly and
earthly gods, they should remember, with
charity, that most of those whose lots are
temporarily cast about that building, have
given their money to build a church, where
g smoking abaft the shaft might be pro-
hibited with a better show of propriety and
Independence and also, that when Chris
tians enter q house which does not belong
to them, they should "take that which is set
before them," and not dictate to the dwell
lers therein how high they shall elevate
either their feet or heads.
