to the Company, if the property invested can be
used to better advantage, by enga .ing in COM
merce unaded by Legislation, taking the chances
of proper and natural competition, the Company
can dissolve, the stockholders divide the assets,
and then commerce will regulate it's own prices.
This result is decidedly democratic and comes
very far from being sumptuary law, or having
the effect of regulating prices of commerce. 1t is
quite true that sumptuary laws are anti-dcmoc-
cratic and contrary to the genius of our institu-
tions yet the Congress of the United States hav-
ing created an Army and Navy, has prescribed
the cut of the beard and coat, the number Of but
tons, &C., &C.. to be worn by those engaged in
those arms of service. No one complains of this.
The law created and has the right to govern, and if
those who take ri ghts under the law do not choose
to abide by such rules as the creating power
choose to establish, let them keep out of it, or
being in get out as soon as possible. The Steam
boat Company is the creature of the Legislature
under the Constitution, it cannot of its own act
directly destroy it, but it may so encompass its
use of capital as to prevent it from doing much
harm to others, and ultimately drive it into de-
cency.
We are not surprised at those papers taking the
position they do 1t will be recollected that their
of city, whose corporate powers, for consqe-
ration conferred upon this same company a lease
of the levee of that city. under which the company
claimed, and the principal Court Of the city and
county enforced. monopoly o1 the use of the
wharves and landing places. along the business
part of the city. fronting on the Sacramento river.
These circumstances we will venture have not
precedent in the United States. The right to
float upon and land at or tie their vessels to the
shores of navigable rivers, has been recognized
as public easement since the days of the Roman
commonwealth, aud one which neither the fee
simple owners of lands, or the corporate powers
Of towns and cities interfere with or restrict.
save for police purposes. and to enforce the col
lection of such taxes are necessary in maintain
ing wharves and such like conveniences. If we
would have correct ideas Of the freedom of COM
merce, we must look to other teachers fQr our
knowledge,
We commend Mr.. Norman for the steadas zeal
which he has manifested for the past three years
in urging this matter upon the consideration of
the Legislature. He has met defeat it is true, the
opposition have heaped ridicue upon him. and
msrepresented his objects, but his labors have
not been in vain. The people begin TO compre-
hcnd his object, and do now appreciate his ser
vices in their behalf. The subject is somewhat
complicated, and it requires time for the public
to comprehend it in all its windings.

SCRUB SAN QUENTIN ALso.-Mhen the
Legislature get through with the present
impeachment business, it will be their duty
to make strict inquiry into State Prison
operations and take that institution from
the control Of leesee whose name and
general character are sufficient to infect even
a Legislature and State Prison. His pres
ence disgraces the one and his cupidity and
baseness endangers the other. If this Leg
islature intends to erase the dark rs ink spots
from public affairs, they must not stop the

adjourning the fight. The next attempt the

Party Leaders.
1t is popular error with the writers in the
opposition press, to speak of prominent men
in the Democratic party as being the leaders.
In doing this they are careful to select those
whom they think least likely to meet with
the approbatirn of the people. Their error
consists in assigning ''leader" to the Demo
cratic party. That party is composed of the
masses Of the people, founded upon principle.
and is guided and controlled by their voice
alone. The difference between the men
composing the party is not so great as these
writers would fain believe. Yet when cir
cumstances have rendered man somewhat
CONSPICUOUS who is acting with the Demo-
cracy he is Immediately pointed out as a
'leader," more particularly if there is any,
thing that may be Objectionable in his form
er association or actions.-There can be no
'Ieaders," in party guided by principle.
There may be those among them who sur
passing others in intellect vigor Of mind and
research, may be first to proclaim certain
results to which the principe of the party
tend, before they become manifest to the
multitude, as the sun, Eliminates the hills
while it is still below the horizon. But the
inequalities Of intellect among the people.
like the inequalities Of the sruface of our
Globe, bear so small a proportion to the
mass that in calculating the actions Of party
they may be safe ly omitted.
Experience has repeatedly proven the fact
that when the Democratic party have ac
knowedged "leader," they have degenera-
ted into factions, divided among themselves.
and have fallen prey to their political ad-
versares whom they have generally led cap
tive while acting under the acknowledged
leadership" of Clay and Webster, men
who rank among the most profounds taes-
men our nation has ever produced. Those
who have read the history of our country
with proper discrimination, will readily agree
with us, and the position is fully sustained
by the political experience of California.

State Prison Affairs.

Reports of rather alarming character
reached this city yesterday from the State
Prison. We hear it stated that the prisoners
are absolutely in want of the necessaries OF
life and that many of them are literally in
rags. We further hear it stated -
with what truth we are unable to Judge
the action of the Legislature has placed
him in position by which he is rendered
powerless to ameliorate the condition of the
inmates, that he has some $4,000 Of state
securities hypothecated for small amount,
and that the warrants issued to him as per
contract have been rendered valueless by the
doubt expressed as to their legality and by
the fact that the Legislature has stricken
out the appropriation for State Prison pur-
poses from the general appropriation bill.
In this condition Of affairs what is to be
done? 1t is certain that some steps should
be taken for the relief of the prisoners,
since, degraded through they are, it would
not be consistent with the honor and
dignity of the state or the humanity of our
people, that the poor wretches should be
left to starve, without some effort being
made for their relief The members of the
State Prison committees, who have been en-
gagged for some weeks past in making inves-
LEGATIONS into the past management of the
institution, will not. we regret to learn, be
able to report some days yet, so that no ac-
ton can be Immediately taken by the Legis-
lature as to the validity Of the contract itsel
or on the general subject In this emergen
cy would it not be well to send a special
committee to inquire into the actual condi
ton of the convicts and to supply them with
all necessaries of which they may be imme
diately in want. We would suggest thai
Messrs. Norman, Ashley, and Watkins be

UPPER SACRAMENTO FLooD.-The Shasta
Republican savs:-"The late extraordinary
rise in the Upper Sacramento river, we are
glad to learn, did but little damage. All
those living near its banks took timely warn
ing from the heavy rains, and made prepara-
lions to meet the flood. In a few hours the
rsa was about thirty feet. 1t was at its
height on Sunday last, after which it graau-
ally subsidized.
New DIGc1Ncs.--New dggings have been
struck about two miles below town, says the
Orovile Record, which prospects twenty
cents to the pan, and pays from the top
down. Some two hundred meu were at
work on Monday, and we should not be sur
prised to see the whole valley staked off for
mining claims.
MARBLE.-Considerab quantities of ma
hogany colored marble are being taken out
in Suisun Valley, and worked in San Fran
cisco. There is large quantities of marble
of all colors at several different points in this
state.
SAN MArEo RETURNs--The returns of the
election in San Mateo show that although
but small vote was polled, Mr.. Wood
worth received a very large plurality. We

Found DEAD.-Tom Parker negro who
has lived About auburn for two or three years
was found dead in his cabin on Wednesday
evening, the 25th inst. He had vomted in
several places about the house, on the bed
and over his person. On the oath, he was
well and worked hard, and from these facts,
people are suspicious that Iom was pois-
oned. Justice Houston held an inquest upon
the body, and the Jury returned that che had
come to his death by means unknown to
them" Deceased, was about thirty five
years old, and of Incorporate habits.
CoURT OF SEssIoNs.-This Court adjourn
