lature during its present session will make some
amendments to the present attachment law, al
Il now stands on the statute book. The law il
unnecessarily severe in its operation, and some
Of its provisions should be materially modified
An attachment should never issue unless ere
ditor can swear that he has reason to believe
his debtor is about to put his property out Of
his hands, or conceal it, for the purpose Of de-
frauding his creditors. The hardships frequent
ly resulting from the severity of the present
attachment law are too well known to be emu
merated, and we believe 1t is the desire of bust
ness men generally that it should be made tS
esnferm with similar laws in other States

CRATER MoUNTAN.-A correspondent Of the
Yreka Union thus describes Crater Mountain, in
Sskiyou county Near the summit the trees Be.
come somewhat sparce, and of a stunted growth,
and dreary-loOking ridges lowered above US.
One of these seemed to have been narrowed up
in solid into angular blocks fitting beauti.
fully together. Half mile above this, greatly
10 the relief of our tired feet, we reached the
sand, the outer rim of the basin which crowns
the summit Dead trees, chiefly pines blown
out of root dry aud hard, were strewn about
in every direction. and young pines were again
growing in their stead. These dead trees, some
of them pretty large, give us record o: many
departed ages. Meeting on the eastern sum.
nit, which is the top of the mountain, we had a
fine view of this sand pan OF nature. Its mouth
cants towards the West, is about one mile in cir.
cumference. and az we afterwards found. upon
careful inspection, is about three hundred feet
deep on the east side. one hundred feet on the
west. sloping gradually down all around to the
bottom Of the basin; while on the summit We
became sleepy, the same as one does on Shasta
Butte: but the grandeur OF the scene was too
exciting to yield to slumbers.

QUARREL BETWEEN AMERICA AND FRASKro.-
"A singular dispute has just arisen between ~.
free city of Frankfort and the United STATE, ~
America. The police Of the former city ha, ;.l
terdicted the residence there of aH old poliIic.,
refugee of the name of Froebel, who has sim.
become an American citizen. Is this the In
lus Froebel who was editor of the San Frapc;.-
CO German Journal at one time y NJ. Fro.h.l
played certain part in the events of lS4S. Tn
consequence of this Introduction be has applied
to NJ. Reicker, the American Consul, who ha.
threatened to break off his relations with the
Senate of Frankfort if it persists in maintaining
the order of expulsion of citizen of the United
States.-Eastern Paper.

LOCAL INrELLIGENCE.

The CRY CBARTER.-We understand that an
effort will be made by some of our citizens this
winter, to have the city charter repealed, in or
der to avoid in future the expense Of keeping
up the government We believe that major
ity of the property holders are now in favor Of
its repeal, though respectable minority are in
favor Of continuing the government. The pro-
psrty tax which has been levied this year and
last. Of one dollar on the hundred, is heavier
than the people of any town should be subjected
to for municipal purposes, but for the past two
years the rate could not well have been less.
Under ordinary circumstances, a tax Of twenty
five or thirty cents on the hundred dollars, ad-
ded to the amount collected on licenses, would
be amply sufficient to carry on the city govern
msnt. But since the present charter went into
operation, about one half Of all the expendi-
lures made by the Trustees have been apprO-
priated to rebuilding and keeping in repair the
bridges which were destroyed by fire and food.
Whether or not this money was judieously ex-
pended, we will leave those to answer who have
had experience in circulating subscription pa
pers and collecting funds for public improve
ments of the kind. Had there been no city gov
ernment, the cost of constructing the bridges
would have been borne by few individuals ;
as it is, the expense has been paid by all who
are benefited by the work, in proportion to the
amount OF their property. Our representatives
in the Legislature, will of course act in accord
ancc with the wishes Of the citizens in this mat
ter, il there is any thing like q unanimity of
sentiment; and if it is thought best to have the
charter repealed, now is the time to act. The
tax which has been levied this year, when col
lected, will very nearly, if not quite pay up
the outstanding city debt, and a more oppor-
tune time for winding up the municipal govern
ment could not be selected.

CRY PROPERTY TAx.-Up to Saturday eve
ming last, the sum of $3,O25 27 had been paid
in on tho city property tax, which after deduct
ing the commission of the collector leaves O
balance Of S2,S73 81, which has been paid into
the city treasury. There is still about $4,000
due on the assessment roll The delinquent
list will be made out for publication on Monday
evening next, and parties not wishing to hav,
their names appear in the list will do we'll t.
settle their taxes previous to that time

APPOINTMENT OF MARsHAL.-At meeting Of
the Board of Trustees, on Saturday evening
last, Mr.. E. o. Tompkins was appointed City

ignation was sent in the evening previous. The

8; for U. S. Gregory, /; for Sol. Kohlman, |.
Mr.. Tompkins, Immediately on being notified Of
his appointment, procured the requisite bonds

THE COUNTY DEBT.-Mr. Burton gave notice
in the Senate the other day. Of the introduction
of bill to amend the act of last winter, levy
ing special tax to defray the current expenses
Of this county. The intention Of those who
framed the act passed at the last session, was
to provide sufficient revenue to pay all the
current expenses Of the county, other than the
salaries of officers. The amount of the tax au.
thorzed to be levied, however, is not sufficient
for the object intended, and we presume the
amendment introduced by Mr.. Burton is de-
signed to remedy this defect. II sufficient
sum can be raised by special tax to defray
the current expenses, the ordinary revenue OF
the county will in short time pay up the pres
ent outstanding debt. The plan of funding the
county debt is of doubtful expedency, and
should not be resorted to il the debt can be paid
without. The Supervisors are now engaged in
making up q statement of the financial cond-
tion and prospects of the county, with view of
placing the expenditures at an early day on q
cash basis.
