Gleanings.

This is world of compensation. Kick
a boy for chalking your fence, and he will
balance the account by throwing a brickbat
at the first fliendless dog he runs against.
Let your expenses be such as to leave a

friend in need.
TAXING THE NEIL.-A young lady nam
ed Margaret Stokes, says Bay paper, was
invested with the veil Of the Sisters Of Char

On Sunday, a contribution was taken up in
the Methodist church at Nevada. which
amounts to $500.

BIG TREE RoUTE-The Stockton papers
speak strongly in praise Of this route. The
Argus says it will ultimately be the route
leading into California from Carson Valley;
and the Republican calls upon the citizens
Of that county, to go to work and improve
the route, SO that the south will get its
pro rata of the emigration.

AN ACT

Concerning county officers in the County of Placer.
The People Of the State of Californian, repre-
sented IN Senate and assembly, do enact as
foY0ns:
SEC. L. All County officers who shall hereafter
be elected in and for the county of Placer, except
those who shall be elected at the General Eec-

Black Republican Honesty.

The Investigating Committee of Congress.
on the charges Of corruption against some of
its members, have recommended the eXpul-
sion of four of its members-Messrs Gilbert
Edwards and Matteson, of New York, and
Welch, of Connecticut. The three first nam
ed are from New York, and the blackest
kind of republicans-the latter is classed as
Fillmore American. This is heavy strike
on the great regenerators of the age-the
'purest and best men of the the day, who
were to bring the affairs of State back to its
pristine purity, and inaugurate an era that
should stand as Gland mark upon the shores
of time" One of the members a witness be-
fore the Committee testified that a comb-
nation had been entered into by thirty of his
associates who had pledged each to the
other that no bill of personal nature should
pass that body unless they acere paid for it;
and it was conclusvely proven, by documen-
tary evidence, that one of them had had an
order drawn in his favor, contingent upon
the passage of certain measure, for $l4 ,5OOl
Other stealing operations of like rascally
character, were brought to light, and should
consign to everlasting infamy, all who were
connected with them. These are the men
over whose election such loud huzzas went
up when the news reached California. The
great American party was then in its glory,
and these were the instruments that were to
bring about and impress upon the character
OF the country the great American sentiment
that "Amerlcans must rule America." They
have ruled in the Councils of the nation for
two years and these are some of its fruits
"Vcrily, they shall have their reward"
