The LEGISLATURE ON THE CHINEsE-The
Assembly Bill "To prevent the further immi-
grafton of Chinese or Mongolians to this
State which passed that body, and went to
the Senate, (being there reported to the Com
mittee on Federal Relations, was, few days
since reported back to the Senate by that
committee, with recommendation that it pass
In most of the points taken, by the author Of
the report, we concur; but not in the opinion
that "every State in the Union has the right
to exclude from her borders any class of per-
sons which in her judgment it is not good pol
icy to permit to reside therein" The bill does
not propose to interfere by direct legislation,
with those Chinese now here, but contempates
their ultimate expulsion, by the rigid exclu-
sion of all others. We agree with the Senate
committee that the State and County revenues
derived from this source I" sink into insignif-
canoe when compared with the evils, social
and otherwise" that their presence entails
upon US. We are also sure that the public
sentiment of California "is very favorable to a
law similar in its provisions to this bill )" and
that there is danger that if the Legislature
neglects to pass it, +" the people, in their pri-
mary capacity, may take the matter under
their control"

DRUNKEN lNDIANs-A gentleman of MUIR
ply whose nome de plume we cannot decipher,
writes to the Independent, propounding query
in relation to the management of the Indian
tribes of this county; and limiting that the
Agent comes short of his duty in some way or
other. He complains that their public drunk
enness and indecencies in that place, have, o1
late, become very fragrant, and shocking tc
society. We do not know what provision Gov
ernment has made for the care of the poor In
dans who still inherit the region of the mines
and linger with tenacious affection on the hunt
lng-grounds of their fathers, or what mean:
are furnished the Agent for their protection
but we presume it would be found, upon in
vestigation, that the Agent is not more al
fault in the matter complained of than others
1t is misdemeanor, punishable by fine and
Imprisonment, to sell whisky to the Indian
and it is the common duty of all good white
men, to present those of their own race to the
Grand Jury, whom they know to be guilty
The concluding pages of the letter are filled
with personalities such as should never appear
in public print-hence, we'll not sprint 'em.

FRAZER RIVER GOLD MINES. The San
Francisco newspapers are teeming with ac-
counts of rich discoveries Of gold on Thomp-
sons and Frazers rivers, in British America.
If half they say is true, the new diggings are
destined to attract a great deal of attention,
and WILL doubtless, speedily be filled with
thousands ofhardy adventurers. For the ben
eft of those unacquainted with the geography
of the new region, we will state that Frazers
river takes its rise in the Rocky Mountains in
latitude $50 north, flows in a south westerly
direction, and empties into the Gulf of Geor-
gia IA long, narrow body of water connecting
with Puget sound, and separating Vancouver
Island from the Continent its mouth being in
latitude 500 only few miles north of the
northern boundary of Washington Territory.
Frazers river forces itself through the Cas-
cade mountains, about eighty miles from the
sea, and near this place the mines are located.
Thompson's river is small stream, and we
believe tributary to Frazer. Access can be
had to the mines from San Francisco, by water
all the way.

the earth wool, which woald be source
OF wealth to our people, equal to the
mines, and far more durable. From the dis
trlct of Victoria, which embraces only
about one-half, or perhaps three-ffths OF
the settled country of Australia, during
the past year, there was shipped to Eng
land, SIG, 100000 worth of wool, at first
cost. This is what California can do
within ten years, if our people will but
turn their attention to the many advan-
tages which the foothills and lower range
of mountains hold out to shepherds and
stock breeders.

FIRE.-On Saturday night, last fire broke
out in a small house in the rear of China
street, in this place, which for short time
caused great alarm, lest it should spread and
endanger the whole town. The tenement in
question is situated in the centre of closely
built dstrict-the houses all being of wood
and canvass. Fortunately before the flames
had chance to spread, some energetic Johns
dashed water very copiously upon it and saved
the building.

THE $4,000 WAGON ROAD APPROPRIATION.
We are glad to state that the Senate, on
Tuesday last, gave a quietus to the Bill Ap-
propriating S50,oOO from the State Treasury
for the construction of wagon road via.
"Johnsons Cutoff through Ell Dorado coun-
ty to Carson Valley. For whilst we admit the
pressing necessity of improved facilities of
communication with Western Utah, we by no
means think the Legislature justi6able in ap-
propriating the funds of the State to the pecu-
liar benefit of Placerville and few people in
Ell Dorado. The people ofthat town. aided by
Sacramento, have done wonders already. in
bringing the very worst pass through the noun
tains conspicuously into public notice; they
have rolled away rocks, and cut down granite,
built up bridges and worn out stages, to the
cost of more than $4,000 already, and still
the road is as difficult to get over, as the pass
of ST. Bernard, in the Alps. The fact is, scarce
ly any amount of money will serve to make it
equal to the Big Tree road, as the latter now
stands; whilst $5O,Ooo expended on it would
make this road equal to any mountain road in
the world.
If Placerville is sick and Sacramento tired,
let them dissolve their "joint commission" on
the road, and take rest until the people of
the State become satisfied as to which of the
several passes through the mountains is most
feasible, and would secure most advantages to
the Uhole State. We think the Senate in this
matter have exactly represented the State, and
dlspieased but two, or perhaps three counties.
