Democratic Committee for Placer County
The Overland Mail from the Atlantic.

The people OF California have this week,
had demonstration of the Importance of
this means of travel and mail communica-
ton, and we are glad to find duly appreciate
the fact. For the first time in the history of
our State we have received overland advices
later than by the steamers. "Ten days later
news"-is startling fact-an event that we
may we'll celebrate by bon fires, illumna-
tions, the firing of cannon and other rejoic-
ings. The practicability of the undertaking
is now beyond question: it is fixed fact.
The steamers will no longer monopolize the
attention of the public, or dictate terms to
the traveller. There is to be no retrograde to
this movement. One line established with
stock, coaches and guards of soldiers through
the Indian country, will but pave the way
for another and for increased emigration
by private conveyance. To this end the
powers at Washington are shaping their en-
ergies, and they will never cease until it is
completed.
The Administration is worthy of the coun-
try and of the strong attachment of the
people of this State especially. 1t is estab-
fishing monuments that will perpetuate this
truth. The Post Office Department has
given liberal contract to these pioneer ex-
pressmen of the desert waste. The War
Department is establishing posts at such
points as are insecure from Indian depreda-
tions, and through such parts Of the route
twenty-five Dragons will escort the coach.
The posts of the telegraph will soon mark
the distance along the road, farms dot the
plains, villages grow up around the stations,
and then we shall forget that it ever was
desert waste. Two or three routes establish
ed in this way and our wilderness becomes a
territory peopled and teeming with the pro-
ducts of the soil and mechanics shop. This
is no idle day dream, but that which every
one familiar with the conquests of this age
and our people, can see is natural conse
quence under the circumstances. 1t does not
depend upon the. orders of an Emperor, but
is the edict of people. Your numbering
stage coach is but the precursor of the loco
motive and it is certain to follow upon this
interoceanic path the mail coach inapgurates
immediate commercial necessity for it. Let
us then encourage the overland route, and
in every proper manner, urge its importance
to our people, that Congress and the Federal
Government may see it in its true light.

The DULL RoUTINE.-There are certain
periods in life when the dull routine of dailv
duties presses hard upon the tired spirit, and
the wheels, and cogs, and running gear of
our system are all out of order, from shear
outrwork and want Of respite. At such
times, both mind and body refuses to per-
form their wonted tasks, rebelling against
the imposition which is being put upon
them, and the violation of Natures laws, in
overtasking the abilities. Sonora HeroH.

That incarnate wit and gay lutherian who
edits the Placer Courier, INDUCES in ano.
tier stab at the fair fame of the editor Of
this paper. In the issue of that paper of the
l4th inst, he intimates shat Charley will
never be able to be the owner of crinoline.' y
We can inform the Courier man that our
editor is even now out cavorting around the
country upon secret mission, and our devil
says he saw gallon the wagon with him
when he left. There was twinkle in the
eye Of the little satanic cuss, when he gave
US this peice of information, which has raised
doubts in our mind as to whether he alluded
to certain demejon or to some other spirit
more divine.

THEArRE-The Robinson family were here
this week, and gave very pleasant entertain
ment-"Little Susan" being the star of the
company. Speaking Of gun fliuts" reminds
us that rudeness which amounts to rowdyism
is as much out of place, among respectable
people in village theatre as any place else.
In the city the police take charge of such gen.
tlemen as indulge their own tastes at the ex-
pense of the pleasure and to the great an
noyance of everybody else. There was a
time in California when such rudeness passed
for humor, and excited merryment, but that
time has gone by. Relations have grown
up among us that forbid it, and your true
gentleman, whether drunk or sober, will
evince better taste than to run counter to
so correct and palpable public sentiment

Gov. Denver and Kansas,

Gov. Denver, in answer to numerous pc
titions asking him to call special session of
the Kansas Legislature, has issued lengthy
message, in which he gives reasons for de-
clinng compliance with the request He
ends by saying:
My conclusion is that the election ought
to be held under the last apportionment, and
| am assure by the Secretary of the Ter
ritory that if so held, he will issue certificates
to the persons receiving the largest number
of votes in accordance with the provisions
of the Act. l think this would be the prop
er course to pursue, for several reasons:
lst. The people can thereby themselves
correct the evil complained Of by eecing,
in the same districts, men who will more
faithfully represent them than those elected
last year.
2. Ifthere should be any necessity for
Congressional intervention, it can be had as
well after as before the election.
Sd. 1t will be keeping the powers of the
Government within their legitimate channel
4th. By it the Governor will not be called
upon to exercise doubtful poweIs, which
even if exercised could only be partial, as
the members of the Council hold their seats
for another year.
In conclusion, it may be proper for me tc
remark that, while at Washington lately,
presented this subject to the President and
Attorney General, and they both agreed
in the opinion above expressed, that the
election might be held under the Act OIL
