California Politicians.

The State of California is blessed with
s"peranuated politicians from the older
states. Those who think they are not
messing may substitute the opposite term,
from the one We have employed These pol
ltIclans are the Joseph Bartlets of the State.
This remarkable politician figured in the
political world for over thirty years, and, we
believe, Was the pioneer Of migratory poll
iicians in the young Republic. During his
political life, he resided in several of the
different towns, counties and States of New
England, and succeeded in representing
some counties in the Assembly, and others
IN the Senate He never succeeded jD get
ting into Congress, although he once came
within half dozen votes of it Had there
been California at that time, to receive
him, he would, have ''mnde the rifle and
had long score of distinguished services
to point him out as one entitled 10 the graf.
itude and confidence of the dominant party
waning popularity. followed by defeat,
was the signal for him, to use his own ex-
preston ito see new faces and his SER
vices were offered to other communities. 1t
is far better, perhaps, that the pail of obliv.
ion should be thrown over the errors of those
who have preceded US; but the American
biographer has thought it proper in this
nil nisi bonum,' and adopt in its stead
DE mortuis nil bsi verum," that the expo
stion may serve as beacon and warning to
others.
Let the public of California take view of
the flcts, and see how many Joe Bartlets
can be found at present in the State eff Cal
ifornia Let them ascertain how many men
who are unsuccessful in gratifying their am
bitiun in one county, seek NEW faces in
another section of the State. and turn up in
the Legislature. or in some Otber official po-
stion, to the great astopishment of those
who know them best. We will not stop to
pa tiCuinrize, but are confident that from
this evil alone has resulted much Of the bad
legislation experienced by our young State
This class of politicians serve only them
selves. and OF course, the public interests
must suffer in the ratio OF their prosperity
and advancement 1t is a happy cireum-
stance that such men generally retire with
the same rapidlty that marked their ad
vancement, and the places they usnrp are
filed by more staid, sober and permanent
men, who feel that they are legislating for
themselves in attending to the interests of
their constituents, and in advancing the gem
eral prosperity

Travelled for n Route.
The Marysville Immigrant Road Comm

The Marysvlle Immigrant Road Commits
sioners appear to have met with some trou-
bic in finding practicable route leading to
Marysville direct Letters from the com
mission which appear in the Mary-ville pa.
pers indicate that they have decided against
the American Valley route, and will report
in favor of route from Honey Lake, run
ming along the eastern base of the noun
tains to Beckwourth's Pass. and thence
down the 70 and Gibsonville route, to Marys-
Vile The American Valleyites, and the
Bidwenl Bridge and Barites will thus be ex
cluded from the profitable trade" which
the Marysvi.le Convention was to secure.
After the vehement and very dsinterested
action of these localities in the Marysville
Convention, it is very unkind in Marysville
to abandon them But it is quite probable
that The accommodations for trade are great
er on the Gibsonville route, and as their
letters already declare the route adopted
by the Marysville Convention to be imprac
tic BILE. it is quite probable that the Ameri-
can Valley and Bidwell route will be aband
onded by the Commissioners, and a route
adopted which will keep the immigration in
the mountains for over one hundred miles
all to accommodate Marysville and profit
able trade Tipe la humbug!
The Marysville Immigrant road will soon
take its place beside the Nevada plaDkroad
the Bencia railroad, and the thousand and
one other improvements which were to give
Marysville decided advantage over all
other inland towns We should be sorry tC
see her fail on IKE immigrant road dicker
but we predict a failure in their calcula-
tons, just rs certain as the comet shall tail
to arrive on the 18th. Sacramento is des-
tined to similar disappointment in her pres
ent calculations There is but one route
through the Nevada mountains to the Sac
Fam INTO Valley that is practicable for al
immigrant road, or for rairood, and that
is the route from Honey Lake, through the
| Big Meadows to 0roville, Marysville and
Sacramento City. Sacramento aud Mays
