MAY DAY PARTIEs.-Among the ma
ny sources of enjoyment resorted to by
the young people on this joyous occa-
sion, none, we are satisfied, passed off
more happily, more pleas antly, or more
innocently, than the pic MICS gotten up
by the Sunday Schools. There were
two of these in this vicinity, one by the
school connected with the Rev. Mr..
Warren's church, and who located their
pleasure ground in a grove near Mr.
Turner'S saw mill. The other by the
school connected with the Rev. Mr. Nor
rows church, which assembled in a
grove near the Eagle saw mill. At the
latter one, some two or three hundred
persons, including children and adults.
took dinner. The declamations and
songs executed by members of the Sun
dey School, receive universal praise
The songs were judiciously selected,
anu tuc llIIIc fOCdllSLS trained 1Or weeks
until they were completely qualified to
fill their different parts. The dinner
was excellent, and what is better abun-
dant - and what is still better on such
occasions. the children, for whose bene-
fit it was gotten up, were first served to
the delicacies to their hearts content.
All this, in connection with the purity
of soul, and body, and dress, apparent
on the occasion, combined to make it
an event long to be remembered with
pleasure by those who enjoyed it. The
girls, over hundred ill number. all
dressed in spotless white, and manifest
ing all the buoyancy of their young and
ardent natures, were, we must confess,
one of the most beautiful sights in the
world.

The LEGIsLATURE.-The eighth ses-
sion of the Legislature closed on Thurs
day of last week, being one hundred
and sixteen days in length,
Of its acts the time has not yet arriv-
ed to speak. The future will apply the
test to its laws and render Judgment.
Like all Legislatures, it has doubtless
committed faults, and some of its acts,
we fear, do not even rise to the dignity
of errors. History will compare it with
its predecessors, and render Justice
To that tribunal, for the time being, we
consign it.
The much abused Know Nothing
Legislature of 1856, was the shortest
one of the eight that have assembled,
and to say that its Acts lessened the ex-
penses of the session just closed, one
hundred thousand dollars, is not bestow-
ing praise without the warrant of facts
The following table shows the num-
Der of days each Legislature has been
in session, since the organization of the
State Government.

Post Office.

1t is with no little pleasure that we
accord, in common with hundreds of our
citizens, to the present Post Master of
of this city, the need of being the most
gentlemenly and accommodating officer
who has yet filled the position by Fed
eral appointment. In saying this we
do not design to disparage the merits of
his predecessors, but to pay just trib-
ute to gentleman whose social quail
ties eminently fit him for the discharge
of the duties devolving upon him to the
complete satisfaction of the public. In
by gone times, We have been the politi-
cal opposer of John T. Crenshaw, and
should we compare principles at this
hour, probably they would not be very
closely allied; but we are bound to say
this much for him, if the General Gov
ernment consults the wishes of our citi-
zens, he will be retained in his present
position and receive better compensa.
ton for his truly earnest efforts to dc his
whole duty and far more. The Post
Office is not the paying institution it
once was, or the present officer might
obtain some slight reward for his servi-
ces.
There is a splendid chance in the
Office here, for man to serve for mere
patriotism and glory, but pertinent
couplet, from Perseus we think if our
memory is not treacherous, occurs to us,
which we quote:
Can Senus, Sejanus pay
His landlords bills on simple gory-sayT

ApJouRNmRNr.-On Thursday last

the Legislature of Thousand Privi-
leges" adjourned, dried up and pegged
out. The amount of money they have
spent is more than would buy the united
lives, fortunes and sacred honor of the
whole crowd, at fair valuation. The
amount of benefit they have been to the
State is invisible to the naked eye
The most glorious day of the Session,
was that Of the adjournment and the
wlthering, damning speech of old Col.
Watkins on that occasion deserves to
be written in gold in the archives of the
State. Being short of bronze, we shall.
publish it in plain black and white in our
next issue.
The above we clip from the Placer
Press. tits but the almost universal
expression of the press throughout the
State. 1t is the sentiment always in
dulged in by public journalists whenev-
er Legislature adjourns. And yet the
Placer Press publishes and endorses the
address of an immigration society in
the same paper with the above What
decent man will leave a civilized home
and community in the east to become a
citizen of State whose Legislature is
composed of nothing but the most des-
picanniic of Gods creatures What gem
tleman of character will bid adieu to
the refnements of social life, to take up
an abode and mingle with the lowest of
low, the meanest of the mean? With
such representations, will virtuous
mother and her daughters come among
us, Notwithstanding all the boasted ad-
vantages of the country so turgidly dis
played in your immigrant society ad-
dresses Vain the hope. You want the
better classes to swell your population
You offer premium to scoundrels and
villains, by assuring them that even in
high places in California are found none
but confreres in crime who will shield
them from justice, that the people year
after year elect from their number to
represent them and make their laws,
none but unmitigated rascals. The good
will shun the State. They abhor so foul
contact.
The press of California basely and
cowardly lies about the Legislatures and
against the interests of the State. 1t
has not the courage and manliness to
hunt out and attack the venal and cor
rupt few who pollute the capital with
their presence. 1t has indulged in the
most fragrant abuse ofpublic men with
out sense or discrimination, until sem
sitive gentleman, jealous of his reputa-
ton shrinks from serving the public
So constant and pertinacious have been
hurled editorial ISLANDERS upon the heads
of Legislators, that it is a wonder of the
world $50 little corruption is found in Leg
islative halls, when the combined efforts
of the press have taught the people to
despise their servants, and the servants
themselves to lose their self respect
Let the finger of the world be pointed at
man and the united public voice pro-
nounee him avillain, and however inno-
cent he may be if he does not prove
reckless, it is because the great God has
set to pulsate sterling heart within an
incorruptible bosom, and not to your eff
forts. He owes you no thanks if his con-
science remains evermore without a
pang.

BEAUTIFUL PHENoMENoN.-On Mon
day evening last, at 9 o'clock, meteor
made its appearance just over the top of
the hill mile north of town, and NOV
ed steadily in south-easterly direction,
in straight line, and just about paral-
lei with the line of the earth's surface.
1t was not very large, nor unusually
brilliant, but continued in sight about
one minute and half, when, to all ap-
pearance it became invisible, not from
any diminution of its brightness, but
owing to its distance from the observer.
The last we saw of it, it was passing
over the hill east of town in the
direction of Red Dog. 1t was quite
low, not entirely clearing the tops # the
trees on the high hills. 1t remained
longer in sight than we had ever seen
one before.

NOVEL FIGHT.-A fight came off on
Tuesday last between a gentleman who
is fond of retailing petty neighborhood
scandal among the women, and lady
whose feelings had been touched by his
ungovernable tongue. The lady pelted
him soundly with old barrel slaves,
rocks, &e., and being decidedly the bet
ter man of the two, the fellow soon
found safety from his perils in fight
Much as we dislike to see woman en-
gagged in such fracases, in a general
way, we cannot help but think his chas-
tisement was richly merited, and as it
would be a disgrace for man to inAict
It on such being, it is right that he
should be whipped by woman. WE
hope this will be lesson for him to
give up for ever his tattling propensity
Leave that to the women. 1t is even

those calling themselves men.

CITY ELECTIoN-The election on
Monday passed off quietly, no rows nor
evidences of ill feeling disgracing the
day. Many good citizens did not go to
the polls, but, as usual, enough outsi-
ders voted to make up the delinquency.
The Democracy, of course, won the
day. Their forces were marshaled for
the conflict some weeks in advance,
while the opposition had but days
preparation and were comparatively m
organized.
But little interest appeared to be felt
in the result, except by the candidates
for Marshal and their adherents. The
whole number of votes cast was 734.-
Last year the vote for Marshal was SAL,
and the vote for other officers about the
same figure. Below we give tabular
statement of the result of Mondays
election. Messrs. Hupp and Funston
had no opposition, running on both tick
cts.

Who, before the present Reform par

Who, before the present Reform par.
ty, have ever brought our State into
downright disgrace ? Who can say and
prove the assertion, that even here in
California where gold is the great idol
that Democratic officers have ever been
unfaithful to their trust
Bigler may be abused, and his motives

We intend hereafter to be as indepen-

true interests of the people will permit
1t is not our intention to offer word in
extenuation of the errors or criminal acts
of the officers elected by the American
party. Let them and the party suffer
the penalty an outraged constituency
declee.
But when all the plunderings poor
California has endured these eight years
are heaped upon the American party,
we are compelled to vindicate the truth
of history, and it strikes us as piece of
brazen impudence, to assert the immac-
ulateness ofthe loco-foco party and chal-
lenge proof to the contrary. What
Democratic officer has been unfaithful

over a million of dollars, demean him.

tuition he had sworn to support when he
appointed Denver Secretary of State
Was it proper and right that Honest
john should draw the contingent funds
for his Office at once, bond the same, and
leave his bills to be paid by the state Z?
Did he use the sum of $4,000, placed
in his hands by the Legislature for the
prosecution of suits for the payment of
taxes from the mail steam ship compa-
ny, for the purpose it was designed {?
What service did General McDougal
