ms AND OUTs.-On Monday evening
last, an entertainment was given at the
Court House by the retiring Court off
GERS to the incoming ones. Plenty of
good edibles and sparkling liquors gra-
ced the board, and the best feeling pre-
vailed in the large company of incum-
bents and invited friends. The unfortu-
mates who retired declared the county
fortunate in having their places supplied
so well, while the fortunates got even
by avering that they would retire by
and by fully satisfied, if they were able
to serve the people as well and gain SO
general appreciation as their predeces-
sors. Some twenty speeches were
made by the officers, and members of
the bar. The meeting was presided
over by Judge Searls, who paid warm
tribute to the retiring officers, for their
zeal and integrity, and the uniform will
ing assistance they had rendered him in
the discharge of his duties.

"a The theory of the conduct of a
public paper is that the editor expresses
his opinions honestly for the benefit Of
the public. Every sheet assumes this
to be true of its own conduct If the
pubic are led to believe that a paper is
made the engine of mere personal envy
and petty spite, tic paper is held to vi
olate its proper duty, a2d is despised
accordingly. Some men are so slightly
endowed with soul that any opportunity
afforded for speaking ill of those for
whom they entertain personal and pri-
vate dislike, is eagerly embraced, and
their detraction is so common against
those they may envy or fear, that they
become nuisanees and bores to their
friends Such man conducting a pa
per, or having any influence in it, deems
it merely larger field for detraction,
and makes it mere vehicle for petty
envy. His private dislikes, for which
the objects often have too much con-
tempt to take notice, is paraded as a
matter of public note, until any opinion
expressed is referred by the readers to
the envy that dictated it. Palpable
lies, in mere spirit of recklessness, are
hazarded as truth. TO be sure the
scullion who pronounces them often
overshoots his mark, and is merely con-
temptible. Such fellows prostitute the
design ofthe press. Using the coward
ly advantage placed at their disposal,
they cast slime and dirt on those pri-
vately obnoxious to them, and thus
make public institution the vehicle of
private malice and scurrility. No res
Pcctable press is so conducted; for when
paper is edited on the plan of ." The
Life in LOmeH,"W it ceases to be res
pectable.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS. A rumor,
more vague than we could wish, reaches
us that a survey of an extension of the
Sacramento Railroad is about being
made. We seize upon the intimation,
uncertain as it may be, for in the pro-
Ject we read the only hope of regenera-
tion to this portion of the state; at least
the only durable benefit which can re-
suit to us, is by connection railwise
with the cities below. To this conclu-
sion our citizens must, by this time,
have arrived, and to bend everv effort
for the accomplishment of the means of
prosperity, should be their aim.
The design of the railroad companv
is to extend the track to Auburn or vi
cinity, and sweeping along the foothills,
terminate the road for time at Oro-
vile, How near this city the nearest
point of such route would come is un-
certain, but let it come wherever it will,
it cannot fail to be of incalculab bic good
to this city and surrounding country.
And we have hope, Notwithstanding the
apparently deadened energies of our
people, that the road must find tsrmi-
nus here eventually.
So, push on the railroad, and fasten
a medicum of the capital we produce to
the soil that produces it.

FAMILY JARs.-It is lamentable to
read the catterwaulings in which the
Mountain Democrat, State Journal
Globe, and a few other papers are in
dulging themselves and making night
hldeous to others. 1t is a crying shame,

the Democratic party should be torn
from limb to gudgeon just for the sake
OF gratifying little personal spleen
Gentlemen, do have peace in the family.

Your little hands were never made
To gouge each others eyes.

JrLY INrEREsr.-The Sacramento

July INTEREST.-The Sacramento
papers, some of them, are putting in
soft word now and then, for the benefit
of Prison Brig Rowe. The July Inter
est has to be sent by the next steamer
to reach New York by the 1st of July.
Rowe being kept in durance vile, it is
alleged he cannot make the proper ne
gotiaticns to fulfil his contract with the
Treasurer.
This is all bosh. No rational man
believes Rowe ever intends or ever has
intended to pay one dollar of money for
the redemption of the credit of the
State. He has been caught in his
swindling, and he and his yoke mate in
crime are in good enough places for
such villains. They ought to be kept
in prison till the last trump shall
sound, for their outrageous conduct.
We have no sympathy for them in the
least, and as for the State ever obtain
ing cent from such precious rascals, it
is out of the question we favor no le-
niency therefore for that reason.

The NEWFOUNDLAND Fisheries
1t is said that the treaty recently made
between France and England relativd
to the fishing grounds of Newfoundland
is in contrayention of certain rights
guaranteed to our own fishermen by
treaties with England. 1t is reported
that the treaty excludes all but French
subjects from ports heretofore aeeessit |
BILE to Yankee fishermen. 1t is not likeE
ly, however, that the treaty will ever
go into operation, as the consent of the
Newfoundland Legislature is necessary
to its consummation, and there is very
strong feeling against it on the part o
the people of Newfoundland.
