Insane Asylum at NIarysviIIc

We desire to call the attention of the
Nuba county delegation to the importance,
indeed almost the necessity, of procuring the
passage of law establishing an Insane Asy
lum at this place. The reasons which may
be urged in support of the measure are, we
presume, apparent The Stockton institu.
tion is already overrun with patients, and
as there is no probability of a decrease in
their number, an addition to the present
building, or the erection of new one, will
be demanded Of the Legislature at its rext
session. If more expense must be incurred
for such a purpose, the expenditure should
be made where it would tend to the convc.
nience of the populous North, leaving the
present Asylum to the use Of the region Of
country to which it properly belongs As
the matter now stands, the insane from the
surrounding region are deposited at Marys-
vile, where they often become a severe tax
upon private charity, until they are sent to
Stockton, at an expense to the county of one
hundred and twenty dollars each This, we
submit, is both unjust and onerous. Weare
perfectly willing that each county shall take
proper care Of its own unfortunate but it is
not fair that any one county should become a
repository for the insane of distant counties,
unless some provision be made by the State
at large for their safe keeping.
We do not look upon this matter with re.
gard to the advantages or disadvantages
which might accrue from the disbursement
of small portion of the public moneys
among us, but as a matter of palpable jus
tice Marysville, however, has never been
importunate about such matters, and we are
very sure that she has never proGted by
them; but she is surely as much entitled to
this incidental advantage, as either San Fran.
cisco, Sacramento or Stockton, in all of which
places the States money has, at one time or
other, been freely disbursed; and, at least in
one Instance" not to put too fine point
upon t'-squandered. If our delegation
urge this matter upon the attention of the
Legislature at an early day of the session.
we have little doubt that it will be fivorably
considered, and, indeed, simple justice de
mands that it should be-

following war like talk in it: "The Nevada

with how much truth we are unable to say,
that the company has been ordered to he in
readiness to march against the numbering red

the hostile bullets coming. We predict the

IHE ALLEGuANIANs.-Another large and
fashionable audience greeted these renowned
voealists last night, and we are confident
there was not person present but was de.
lighted, not to say charmed, with the manner
in which they acquitted themselves. They
leave this morning for Yreka, stopping one
night in Oroville, and the best wishes of
their many friends here, for abundant Sue
cess, 90 with them. The Alleghanians would
have been well patronzed for at least week
longer, at our Theatre, could they have re
mained. We hope they will soon again
" come with songs to greet" us

LOST CmLD.-A little whiteheaded child
about two years old, was picked up III the
street, last evening about dark, and taken to
the station house by officer Casad. The lit
tie thing had been wandering about the
streets for several hours, apparently lost, and
when night approached, was taken up and
cared for, as stated above. The PARENTS or
guardian of the little wanderer can find it
this morning at the station house.

REooRDER's CoURr.-This very useful inst-

just now. d. DIS are scarce, on account of
the stringency Of the money market and the
unwillingness of rumseers to dispose of their
liquids on "cred.' Thieves have struck out
for diggings which will yield at least the
color, and evil-doers generally are kept from
committing offences against the laws of God
and man, from the dread inspired by the
shaggy named and hairy tailed comet which
every morning ana evening, so threateningly
looks down upon them from its far.oG Hea
venly abode. But one poor halfstarved
Mexican graced the prisoners bench, yester-

any change at all has taken place in his gen

SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE STATE AND
Wells, FARGO d Co-Some time last spring
says the Union, the State Treasurer. on bal
ancing the accounts Of the State with Wells
Fargo d Co., found there was bnlance in
their hands standing to the credit Of the
State. lie drew on them for the amount
but before paying it the partners here re-
quested time to send to the house in New
ork and obtain statement from the house
IN that city. They acted as the agent Of the
state, and forwarded the money to pay the
interest due July lst, 1886, and January lst,
1891 1t was an arrangement by rX X1reas-
urer Bates, and Wells, Fargo d Co.. faith
fully executed the trust confdcd to them.
and after paying all the coupons presented
there was balance rem in ~ in their hands
OF SCOOPS 60. which sum was yestcrd y paid
to the State Treasurer. The count made
up in New York varied only few cents
from that made up ly the State Treasurer.
The balance ought to have been paid to the
state in 1857. but it was not done, and pro.
hahly would not have been done this year
had the Treasurer been less firm and prom pit
in his manner of transaeting business. If we
are not mistaken. this is about the only sci
tlement that has ever been made with State
agents to pay interest in New York.
