The distinguished individual whose name
appears at the head Of this article, is now in
San Francisco, on the eve of departure
for the Atlantic States As one of the pi-
oneers of Butte County, than whom no one
is more widely known, his departure de-
serves especial mention.
The Judge emigrated TO California in 40
and located in Butte County. of which early
in so, he was chosen Ju' 'ge. He held this
Office for upwards of two years, during
which time, from the unsettled state of af-
fnirs existing in the country. and the many

sided in the several capacities, er oticiO, of
County Judge, Senior Ju lge Of the Court Of
Sessions, ami Judge of Probate.
Law books were scarce, pettifoggers plenty
and hard common sense had to supply the
place of eruditon; aud well the Judge made
the substitute for taking What he con
ceived to be the right side, aud with an air
OF determination that would be we'll for
some of our latter day Judges TO emulate.
he pronounced his decisions; and, if We are
to believe the old pioneers OF the bar in
this county. they were very generally cor

But Tom Wells and Dave Fralick, :he rs
sociates Of the court of Sessions. took it
upon themselves to overrule Judge Bean,
once upon time, whereupon disgusted with
the proceeding. aud worn out with n long
term of office he resigned, and has never

Judge Bean is mortal, md being mortal

J.dxe Lewis, w.xo. Road Aes.

The Wagon Road Act. iob6i ID through
he late Legislature by Judge Lewis, provi-
ing for the construction of a road ria his
oil bridge, to Honey Lake, is worthy Of n
noment's consideration, at this particular
ime, when parties are searching the'moun-
aims for practicable routes for wagon roads
his bill appropriaies forty thousand dollars
be drawn from the treasures of Butte
nd Piumas counties. for the construction
f n waron road through the American and
indian valles 10 Honey Lake. The bill as
riglnally introduced aud passed in the
ienate, did not submit the question to a
vote of the people of these counties, but re
uired the road to be constructed by the
,Oints naped in the bill, aud commanded
he authorities of the counties to issue war
ants for the same. We have It from au.
thority then present, that Judge Lewis,
while urging the passage Of this bill, refused
to acquiesce in amendments to permit the
county authorities to locate the road, or to
submit the act to vote of the citizens Of
the counties, and demsn led that it be passed
IN its original form or not at all
Men who have been sent out to examine
the route over which this bill provides Tor
the construction Of a road, have reported it
lmpractcnbe. Now then, what would have
been the result, had Julge Lewis succeeded
IN getting the bill through in its original
form, as he endeavored to do A road can
not D. constructed to Honey Lake GU the
route proposed ia the act. aud had Judge
Lewis succeeded in passing the bill III its
form. Butte county tax payers would have
been obliged to pay twenty thousand dollars
10 build IA road to Judge Lewis 'oll bridge,
and that, too, while the road would carry
the travel away from niue tenths Uf the
property axed for its construction For
tunatciy the bill was amended in toe Assem-.
bly, 80 as to permit the voters of the C uuties
TO say whether they will be taxed for such u
purpose.
The fact that il has been declared impos-
vi ble to construct road upon the route
designated by the bill, exposes the real ob-
ject OF III Judge IN SO strenuou>ly urging
It's passage. To be for the purpose OF benefit
ting his toll bridge interest at the expense
OF the county. HIS efforts TO pass the bill
without submitting it TO the people, WAS II
fierce and unscrnpulous assault upon the
funds OF the county, ouly equalled by tho
three thousand dollar demand tor the Pl "a,
after the county buildings had been erected
thereou
