EHortS are now DelnR maue Dy portion
of the opposition press to form new party.
Every move made by the dominant party,
is tortured into an excuse for an article
showing the necessity of having a new party.
And when the Editors in the opposition
ranks tire of the theme, it is taken up by out
side patriotic scribblers. and argued at
length, and they appear determined to COM
pei the miserable anatomists of the opposi
ton press to form living party out of the
fragments left in the Democratic dssecting
room on the 4th of November last Mr.
Expediency would re-organize the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Love Office and Mr.. Hate.
good, would unite all the opposing isms into
one party, and admit enough from the dem
ocratic ranks to render it certain of success.
Mr.. Mistrust and Mr.. Timerous are in favor
of secret organization, and Mr.. Buster
and Mr.. Open-faced Demagogue, desire that
the organization should be public.
The thirst of thes gentlemen for official
glory is intense, their animal spirits in fine
play, and as it is free country, they must
be INDUCED in their humors, and be permit
ted, if they choose, to exert their mighty
imaginations in bringing new party into
existence, in propping it up with garbled
and distorted extracts from the early histo-
ry of the Republic-of clothing it with logic
and Divinity--stutfing it with absurd Phys
les, and more absurd metaphysics-in fact
with everything, except that in which it
shall pre- emnently excel--rascality.
What melancholy picture will these dis
interested patriots present whilst cropping
amongst the wasted corpses of the parties
with which they have formerly associated,
in endeavoring to create new party.
They now value their late Know Nothing
organization only as showing with how little
evidence n party may be believed, or with
how little merit party may become popu-
lar.
They must do something to satisfy their
ambition, and they can no longer remain in
the magnificent structure reared by the old
Wing party, nor in the secret den, now rem
dercd uninhabitable by the offensive etifuva
of defunct Ki-Yi ism, and hence the clamor
for new organization. Well, let them in
dulge in their party phantasms, if they
choose to let their imaginations run away
with their judgments and permit what is un-
real to overpower them Az experiments
are multiplied, principles are better under.
stood, and the faster mushroom parties arise
the firmer will the principles of the National
Democratic Party be linked to the hearts Of
the people

The RAIN.--For the past thirty-six hours
the welcome rain has been psttering down
upon the heads of the just and the unjust

Of the opinion that this is by far the most
severe storm of the season. Great quaint
ties of rain have fallen in the vallies, and
doubtless many additional inches of snow
have accumulated on the mountains. Some
Of our weather-wise folks express the opin-
ion that this is the last great storm-the
clearing-up shower-that is to be the final
act Of old winter. Spring is near at hand,
and with it is expected great stores of gold,
and indeed there seems to be a most pros
porous season ahead So mote il be.

A VIGILANTE ACTOR IN TRoUBLE.-An
actor at the Metropolitan Theatre, San Fran
cisco, says the State Journal, named Johns,
once captain of a company Of Vigilantes,
appeared upon the boards on Saturday night,
and by his bungliDg acting, called out the
disapprobation of his auditors, and was sum-
moned before the curtain after the perform
ance was over. Upon making his appear
ance he was greeted with French APP
plause," to which he responded with some
very il-natured remarks, and ended by
calling upon the Vigilantes to protect him,
Loud cries of git" and "vamose,' drove
him from the stage and from the theatre.
His services have been dispensed with.

va. The San Francisco Herald states
that there is no money in the treasury Of
that city to pay off policemen. This is UNI
fortunate. The small pay they receive,
500 per month, is scarcely sufficient for
their wants under any circumstances, bnt
to receive this amount in the shape of %
bic: At present the policemen are in the
receipt of no money at all, for they cannot
dispose of their warrants at any sacrifice
whatever.

ANOTHER STEAMBOAT PRoPosITIoN.--We
were shown last night a document drawn up
in the shape of n contract between Henry
Felker and-those who choose to sign it
wherein Felker contracts to build steam
boat which he agrees shall arrive here by
the 10th of April next, and also binds him
self to make the river navigable during all
seasons of the year; in consideration of the
faithful ful6lment of which propositions,
those who sign the same, bind themselves to
patronize his boat to the exclusion Of all
others. In furtherence of the enterprise, a
section is added as subscription to raise
funds toward prosecuting the project of
clearing the river. This proposition looks
like very practicable one, and seems to
meet with considerable encouragement at
the hands of some of our most enterprisiug
citizens.

A MYSTERIOUS MURpER.-The Sacrament
to Union of Wednesday, gives the particu-
lars of the discovery of the body of muir
dered man on the Auburn road about six
miles from Sacramento The body was dis
covered by man named 0akly while hunt
ing cattle. The body was found lying on its
face with two bullet holes through the head,
which from appearances. were made by shot
from behind him From the number and
situation of the foot tracks, it is thought
that the deceased was aSsailcd by two per-
sons, and was shot while trying to escape.
The murderers had searched their victim,
proving that their object was gain. At "a
coroner's inquest it was determined that the
mans name was Farr, who sometime previ-
Gus had been arrested in Sacramento on d
charge of assault with intent to kill, and al
forwards sentenced to the prison brig.

LEGIsLATIvE.-In the Assembly on Tues
day, resolution appointing committee to
prepare articles Of, and conduct the i'm
parchment Of the State Treasurer, was
passed by a unanimous vote. Another COM
mittee was also appointed to proceed to the
Senate, and at the bar of that body sOlemnly
impeach the Treasurer, and demand that
the Senate take order for bis appearance bo-
fore them to answer the charges. A COM
munication was received from the Treasurer
which seemed to be regarded by the Assem-
bly, as discourteous. The law providing for
the appointment of person to fill the office
of any State officer who may be impsaehed,
was approved by the Governor tele-
graphic despatch in the Marysville Express
of Thursday morning, announces that DR..
Bates has resigned and that the Governor
has appointed James l.. English. of Sacra-
mento, to fill his place. We fancy the letter
Of DR.. Bates 10 be just such u one as an in
nocent man, who felt himself pushed by cir
eumstances TO the wall, would write. In
this we may be mistaken, but we venture
TO give our impressions, nevertheless The
fact Of has having paid out the Sl24, 900
without authority, is doubtless, sufficient
grounds for his impeachment. The State
Controller having declined to make any
statement at present to the Assembly, notice
was given that resolution would be intro
duced on Wednesday, having in view his i'm
parchment The bill providing for a reno
val of the county seat of FL Dorado from
Coloma to Plaeeryille, was orderrd en-
crossed. Mr.. Morrison INTRODUCED bill to
incorporate the town of Oroville. Mr..

election of the Board of Supervisors in Butte
county, and fixing their term of Office. An
act was passed compensating Richard Cole

STATEMENTS AS TO THE STATE
HOUSE, DEEDS, &C.
MADE TO THE HOUSE, FEB. ls, BY Mn.
MERRILL.

MADE TO THE HOUSE, FEB. lS, BY Mn.
MERRILL.
In 1905 the Legislature, by act, established
the permanent seat of governme Mt at Montpe-
lier, on condition that that town should be at
the expense of building the State House. and
with proyiso that if the seat of government
should at any time be removed, the State
should pay Montpelier the then value of the
property. Montpelier built the house, at u
cost of $4,000, which was then great sacri-
flee of effort and money.
Not cent of this has been repaid.
In 1908, the State House being completed,
Thomas Davis decided acres to the State,
4" for valuable consideration 70 me paid be-
fore the delivering hereof, and agreeably to an
act of the General Assembly of the State of
Vermont, passed at their session holden at
Danville, A. ID. 1905, establishing the per-
manent seat of government for the State of
Vermont at Montpelier.
In 832 the Legislature passed an act for
the erection Of a new State House, on condi-
ton that Montpelier would pay $4,000, and
providing for the appointment Of committee
to report plan, and of superintendent
The committee reported a plan to the next
session, the estimated cost Of which was over
$40, 900.
The committee wished to have acres more
for the grounds, and proposed to Montpelier
that they would give $4,000, and no more, for
these 5 acres, if Montpelier would give the
remainder. And after great deal of time
and effort spent, citizens of Montpelier finally
accomplished it, and raised the required a
mount. The cost was as follows
The Baylies house and lot was bought for
50, 750, but an allowance had 90 be made fol
some rents, so that the whole cost was about
$1,000.
A piece Of land was bought of Ira Owen
for S70O--his price being $1,000 for any Other
purpose.
A piece of land was bought Of S. C. French
for 500.

strike out the provision that the place having
majority Of the ballots should be the place
at which the State House shall be erected
This amendment was agreed to.
Mr.. Chamberlin Of Craftsbury, feared there
would be difficulty in the words take meas
ures TO designate and that the result Of the
whole, at any rate. would be mere expression
of opinion If this was the desired result
he preferred a resolution providing for such
expression at once, by ballot and he moved
TO lay the resolution on the table.
This motion was negatived.
The question then REQUIRED on adoption of
the proposition Of the Committee TO amend. as
amended on motion Of Mr.. Bradley; and it
was adopted--ayes 10, noes 52.
The resolution, thus amended, was then
adopted
Mr. Kittredge asked whether the next bu-
siness necessarily will not be to ballot.
The Speaker said he regarded the resolution
as an order to ballot-thot the resolution
seemed by it's terms to declare that in taxi
ing measures 70 designate the place, it shall
be done by ballot.
Mr. Cross ofsWntham moved to adjourn !;
rejected
Mr. Woodward Of Westiord moved 60 re-
consider the vote adopting the resolution.
Mr. Green said he was surprised at this
effect of the resolution he had desired full
examination and Mr. Stacy expressed the
same sentiment
The chair suggested that the motion TO re-
consider opened the whole question for debate.
Mr. Powers dissentcd from the opinion Of
the chair as to the effect of the resolution
He thought the House was not bound to bal
lot at once. II might debate the subject fully
and ballot afterwards
Mr. Colby of Hartland said nobody desired
to spring a trap. Members evidently desired
to examine the question before balloting and
he ikened this case 20 that where a time has
been prescribed to elect an officer by ballot in
Joint assembly Certainly in such case it was
competent fer members TO debate the qualif-
cations of candidates.
Mr. Kituedgo did not doubt that every
member wished for facts before balloting-he
wished for facts--and this he aimed at in his
resolution yesterday. Now he would have
these facts under the present resolution, and
in this he concurrcd with the gentleman from
Hartland, and he hoped no gentleman would
object
Mr. Albee again declared that his design
in offering the resolution was not 70 preclude
debate. but to open the way for a full and
fair examination He thought this could be
had under the resolution.
After various inquiries by Messrs. Merrill,
Kimball and Colby, the Chair ruled that there
can be full discussion under the motion to re-
consider
Mr. Crosby, Of Wilmington, moved to lay
the laotion to reconsider on the table
Mr. Woodward. of Westford. in common
with others, wanted light, and he opposed
the motion to lie. since he understood it
would preclude debate.
On motion of Mr.. Hastings, the House ad-
iourned.
