present seat of government, on yes
terday. The day was undoubtedly
occupied in swearing in the members.
Last Evening, the caucus of the
Democracy undoubtedly nominated
officers for both houses, thus giving
an opportunity for many of the ap
plicants to turn their faces homeward,
and resolve to seek office no more.
To- day, the Legislature will COM
plete its organization by the election
of its officers, the Governors Mes
sage will be read to thin house, and
the legislature will be in working
order.
Two of the most important ques
tions which will present themselves
for the consideration and the action
Of the present session, will be the cleo
ton of U. S. Senators, and measures
for the proper adjustment of the
States Indebtedness. The former
subject has been before the people
for several years, and has been dis
cussed elaborately in every shape
that it has assumed, and the subject
has been referred by the people to q
legislature so thoroughly Democratic,
Notwithstanding the opposion of ma
ny who call themselves democrats,
as to foreshadow in unmistakable lam
guage, the desire of the people of
California to be represented in the
United Senate by none but true and
national minded Democrats-those
who have labored, and will continue
to labor for the success of Democratic
principles. Men who can forget
the principles of the party, and op-
pose its nominees for the purpose of
securing the elevation of particular
men, are not the men to represent
California, and aid the incoming adj
ministration in the preservation OF
the institutions of our country. A
cargo of such men might be blown by
the passing gale, to any port where
sclf-intcrest would lead.
The public journals and public
opinion have agreed in recommending
that our Senators should be men
who are thoroughly identified with
the interests of the State, and who
would be governed in their actions
by principles instead of individual in
terest. In reviewing the canvass
just passsd, we challenge the fercest
opponent to show proof that Messrs.
Broderick and McCorkle have not
been thus governed. They are
identified with the interests and
prosperity of the State, and are both
essentially California men. All will
remember the zeal with which they
labored to secure the instruction to
our delegates to the national conven-
ton to cast the vote of the State for
the President elect, and their labors
to secure the triumph Of Democratic
principles throughout the State, re-
gardless of the particular men whom
its nominees might favor.
1t is important that the northern
portion of the State should have
Senator during the approaching ad
ministration. Wagon routes, and
railroad routes will be established,
and a man who is familiar with the
masses in our mountains. and the ma
ny advantages and facilities posses
sed by this section of the State,

Mr.. EDITOR:
DEAR Sri noticed in your excellsn
paper of Sundays issue, an able and vel
written article under the caption of .'Com
mon Schools" Now it cannot be presumed
for moment that the citizens and trustee;
of Oroville will permit our public school tt
come to close for the want Of funds t.
keep it going. Since it has been found oui
that we had good Free School, many fam
| lilies have been induced to locate among us,
almost solely with a view of educating their
children; and if there is any one thing
above another that would tend to improve
our place, and build up society on a good
basis, that thing is free school. There
are at this time nearly eighty pupils belong
ing to our free school, about sixty in reg
ular attendance.
Now a very largo proportion of these
chlldren's parents are too poor to pay any
tuition, nay, some are not able to purchase
necessary books-tuition being free. Now
it does seem to US, that if we cannot keep
up our school with our present machinery
of city government that we had better, as
our fdiend 'sB n. s." remarked dispense
with one-yea, two of the police, if neces-
sary, and keep the school going than to re-
tain them and let the school ''go by the
board" Why, what is the object of police
men? To preserve order in society; to see
that those laws made for the mutual good
of a community are adhered to- Who is it
that seven times out of ten disobey the laws
of the land' Who is it we see nearly every
day recliag under the influence of ardent
spirits in our streets and lying in the mar
row ways and by-paths thereof? In almost
every Instance, those that have not had the
means Of being educated. What do the best
statistics of our country show concerning
the inmates of our penitentiaries' They
show beyond a doubt that the proportion
of those in public prisons, not educated at
all, is more than two to one. Is not this a
startling fact; People are beginning to see
that it would be less expensive to educate
an infant, than to support an aged criminal
in State Prison, nay, that county pauper
costs more than well educated child. We
are disposed to believe that ignorance and
vice now costs the State more than would
expatriate them, and introduce virtue and
intelligence in their stead. If any one were
so well acquainted in the State fnances-in
the expenditures for jails, penitentiaries,
pillories, poor houses; in gambling, gaming,
and immoral speenlations; in idleness and
its gigantic brood of vices, as to tell how
many millions per annum ignorance and
vice cost the nation. | doubt not but that
we are paying more for the present stock of
ignorance and vice, than would educate
every child born in the confines Of the country
out of the public purse. Indeed there are
those who conscientiously ask whether
State government has a right, natural. in
herent or divine to punish the crimes which

The Primary E,ectaons.

The present week will close most of the
democratic primary elections throughout
the State The interest felt in these cleo
tons is now the engrossing topic, and the
election of delegates to the different county
conventions, than the fact is announced by
telegraph to various portions of the State,
and the fact mentioned that they are favor
able to McCorkle, or to Weller, for Governor.
All such announcements made prior to the
election of delegates to the State Convention,
are premature and made for the purpose of
influencing the elections in other counties.
These announcements are mostly made by
those friendly to the aspirations of Weller,
and to such of the opposition press as are
anxious to create division in the Demo-
cratic ranks, viz The Sacramento Union,
ct id onane genus.
Up to the present time delegates to the
State Convention have boon elected from
nine counties, as follows: Los Angeles,
Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Humboldt, Klamath,
Siskiyou, 2lumas, San Mateo, Santa Cruz,
Santa Clara. These counties will cast, in
the aggregate, in the State Convention, SO
votes-34 of them being in favor of McCor-
kle, and % for Weller. Delegates to the
county conventions have been elected in the
/ COMMITTEES of Sierra and Calaveras, and the
result is claimed as being favorable to Weller.
During the coming week, the great ma
iority of the counties, and many of the more
important ones, will elect delegates to rep
resent them in State Convention, and after
that has been effected, some reliance may
be placed upon such speculations- Unit
then, these speculations are for buncombe
Those who were foremost in their endeavori
to rule or destroy the Democracy, have beer
deprived of their capital lately, and they arr
now endeavoring to get the control Of thu
State Convention by blowing in favor o
Weller.

A few faithful Know Nothings are ma6ing
strenuous olIorsts to re-organize their de-
funct party. Repeated efforts have been
made in Sacramento, Nevada and Placer,
but the Attendance upon all have been so
very slim that hope would have sunk long
since in the breasts of all, but politicians of
the most hungry and tenacious order. Not
withstanding these repeated efforts, the
socket of the dark lantern remains empty
the candle is wickless, and no ray of light
has yet penetrated the thick darkness and
gloom that surrounds that interesting but
defunct body polite.
Twenty of the faithful have ben drumed
together in Sacramento, and according to
the local column of the State Journal, have
undertaken to regulate the affairs of the ma
ton and sec that affairs at Washington are
properly conducted County and State af-
fairs received casual attention, Being cowed
by reverses, they announce that their ex-
pressions of opinion are intended ''for pri-
yate oses, but not desirec to be concealed
from the public" as their object now is to
gain strength. With this view, it is uner-
stood that they are willing to welcome back
into their ranks all traitors and rcproba;es
Those at the head Of the movement are IN
derstood to be men who were promised a
special position by successful candidates in

timely death Of their party 'cut off without
a shilling" 1t is understood that the little

very harmonious, and all in attendance
were impressed with an increased idea of
the immense responsibility which rests upon

Scrub Races.

Induced By desire to witness the 'ssports
of the turf and an anxiety to obtain in
teresting information for ourself personally
and professionally, we obtained a safe
horse and democratic buggy from Alex.
Brown, and in company with Justice who
once upon time 6. witched the world with
noble horsemanship,' went to the Satur-
days races at Garden Ranch.
Owing to the heat, dust and consideration
for the welfare of our safe g crab" we ar
rived on the ground too late to witness the
grand race of the day, which was between
Steve Ford's g Sun Fish, and More's horse
* Moralas" We learned the result howev-
err, from Steve himself and painful as the
admission was, he acknowledged himself
beat, and ventured the assertion that he

Several other races occurred, one of which
was between the celebrated nag g Fool

Spanish horse. We hnow the result of this
race from personal observation, and from
another cause g too numerous to mention"
and the Justice knows it too, tico dollars

proved his right to the appellation, and

Another race was made between Alex.

horse, but it didn't come off in consequence
of the sme7iing Of a mice by the hacker of

The Democratic convention for Plumas
county met at Quincy on Saturday last, and
elected Delegates to the State Convention,
aud to the Senatorial and Judicial District
conventions also. The following are the
delegates to the State Convention-J L c.
Shirwin, E. f. McElwain, W. D. Sawyer, B.
f. Clark, ]. C. Lewis, Rich'd Irwin. = Haun
The same gentlemen were also chosen as
Delegates to the District Conventions which
are to assemble in Orovllle on the Goth of
July. This delegation will sustain the Hon.
j. W. McCorkle for Governor, in the State
Convention.
For Members of Assembly, the covention
nominated Mr.. Ballou, formerly Mem
be-. from Ell Dorado, and j. L G. Shirwin
Our acquaintance with the latter gentlemen
warrants us in the belief that better Dem
oerat could not have been chosen to repre-
sent the interests of that county in the 9th
Legislature of California With Mr.. Ballou
we are personally unacquainted, but doubt
not the gentlemen choscs to carry aloft the
banner of the party in Plumas county, will
be triumphantly elected.
The convention nominated E. T. Hogan,
Esq. for County Judge Mr.. II. is lawyer
of fine ability, and one who deserved this
mark of confidence and esteem of the party,
as he faltered not in his loyalty in the
darkest hours of adversely, when secret cor
ruption and dishonesty triumphed over
them.
D. Cate, Esq, of the American Valley,
was recommended as a suitable candidate
for Senator from the Ia til district, composed
of the counties of Butte and Plumas. He
was the Democratic candidate for Member
of Assembly from Plumas County, in 1866.
He is a sound Democrat and excellent gen.
tlemen, who would confer honor upon the
position, and We commend him to the favor
able consideration of the Democracy of
Butte.
We are indebted to NJ H. Farley, ESQ.,,
who returned from Plumas yesterday morn
ing, for the above intelligence. The proceed
ings of the convention will be received in
day or two, when we shall be furnished with
moro complete information concerning the
action of the convention.

Tnc Return Trin.

We have promised an account of the re-
turn trip of our Honey Lake boys, to-day,
and in fulfllment, give it as follows, abre-
waited, however, in consequence of the press
of other matter.
The party left Honey Lake Valley amid
the discharge of firearms and the & God
speeds of the good people congregated
about Roop's, at an early hour in the morn
ing, and after passing Susan River, arrived
about four o clock in the afternoon at Noun
tain Meadows, where they camped. These
Meadows are said to be great rendezvous
for grizzlies, deer and other game, but our
party were there at the wrong season for
such hunting, and instead, went in search
of mountain trout and ducks, large sup
ply of both of which they succeeded in
bringing into camp. The grass and clover
in this Valley are waist high, and preferred
by animals to barley.
On the next morning they started by the
''crack o day" for Big Meadows and Wat
sons Ranch. After passing through the for
MGR place, where they g nooned, they ar
rived at Watson's about half past five in the
afternoon. As our readers will remember,
Watson's is in Soda Valley" SO called from
the large soda spring in the vicinity. Mr..
Watson showed the travellers every kindness,
and is mentioned by all, as most Obliging
gentleman.
From this latter point to the Twelve Mile
House. which is situated on Chapparal Hill,
is the most difficult portion Of the road, but
it was easily surrounded, and with very
little delay the stage and passengers reached
Lovelock's at o'clock in the evening. From
Loveloclz's to Fences Ranch, and thence to
Oroville, the road is entirely free from OBJ
structions, and was easily and speedily
travelled The fact that the travelling time
from Honey Lake Valley to Pence's Ranch,
distance of more than 90 miles Of mountain
road was but 81 hours, is sufficient proof of
the facility with which the road can be tray
eled. The porty returned all well. with
sound horses and whole COACH Thus was
accomplished the most successful trip ever
made across the Sierra Nevada mountains.
