THE ATTACHMENT LAW.

We copy the subjoined remarks on the ex-
listing Attachment Law, and the accompanying
suggestions for its notifications, from the San
Francisco Call As that paper very properly
Now that the Legislature is in session, we
trust that our merchants and business men will
bestir themselves with view to laying such
information before the members as will show
the absolute necessity for repeal Of the pres
ent attachment law. As the statute now
stands, it is within the power Of a vindictive
creditor at any time to ruin the business pros
poets Of any one who may be so unfortunate
as to come within his clutches In the present
condition Of trade, it is utterly impossible to
conduct an extensive business without con-
tracing liabilities that cannot always be met
at moments warning, and under the law as
il now exists, the claimant can come in and
sweep away perhaps the result of years of in
dustry. For once an attachment is placed
upon the effects Of debtor panic follows in
which attachment is piled upon attachment,
until at last the assets Of the victim, however
adequate they may have been to meet his en-
gagements, had time been extended, are actu-
ally absorbed in expensive litigation. During
the last year dozens Of business men were
victimized under the operation of this most
outrageous statute, and actually forced into
insolvency. The necessity for modification
of the law is most urgent, and now is the time
to agitate the question.
On the same subject the Herald says: The
course of the last two Legislatures upon
this matter, is inexpcable. No opposition,
entitled to the slightest consideration, has ever
been developed in this quarter, and yet the
attachment law is foul blot on our statute
books 1t is to be hoped that the next legis-
lature will comply with the wishes Of the whole
people in this respect and SO modify the law,
at least, that the debtor shall not be entirely
at the mercy of the suspicious of merciless
creditors.
The Stockton Republican adds: The At
tachment Law amendments and several other
bills, were crowded last year into kind of an
omnibus bill, and the attempt to pass il failed.
Each bill by itself could have been passed, but
when united together they were defeated, as
members in favor of one were opposed to an
other, and voted in consequence against all Of
them when united. Each of the bills had
passed the Senate before they were united into
one in the House.

THE NEW GOVERNOR.

On Friday, January 9Th, John B. Weller
took the oath of Office, and became the Gov
ernor Of California Democratic Adninistra-
ton was inaugurated, and the interests Of the
State became its charge. In the integrity and
sound policy of that Administration the peo-
pie of the State have entire confidence. The
new Governor has before been entrusted with
great public duties, and has ever proved faith
ful in his discharge of them. Nor can doubt
be entertained that he will prove equal to the
one now confided to him as the chief officer
Of sovereign State. In placing his name at
the head of our columns as q candidate for the
Office which he now holds, we made the fol-
lowing remarks, which we now refer to with
renewed pleasure feeling their justness, and
still retaining our confidence in him:
While other men of note and distinction
have changed in their creed, or modified their
political doctrines to suit time or occasions, he
has been unyielding-uncompro in his
devotion to Democratic principles of Govern
ment Courteously dignifed in all the social
relations Of civil life-a dweller and abder
amongst us, having interests identical with our
cwn-hc will in the future as he has in the
past prove a useful citizen, and one, too, who
is thoroughly posted in all our wants. having
ability sufficient to make them known and
understood. Mr.. Weller has grown gray in
the service Of his country. No truthful charge
can be brought against him of political trick
cry or official delinquency. What Mr.. Buch-
anan is to the whole Union he will be to the
State of California. He will exert himself for
the good of all. Knowing no factions, and
acknowledging the claims of no cliques, he
will make private patronage subservicnt to the
public welfare. He is the unanimous choice
of the Democratic party of this State, because
record Of his past political career gives assur-
ance that he will administer the State Govern
ment in strict conformity with principles Of
government that have always prevailed in
Democratic Administrations.

THE DITCH MOVEMENT.

At the time appointed, on Saturday evening
last, meeting of citizens from the mining dis
tricts of Hornitos, Quartzburg and Indian
Gulch took place in Crocker & Co.'s saloon,
in this place, to consider the feasibility Of a
ditch from the Merced river, to conduct water
to tho mining districts in the vicinity of the
above named towns There was not as large
number present as was anticipated, nor were
the proceedings characterized by that energetic
spirit which we had hoped to see displayed on
the occasion. However, as preliminary steps,
only, could be taken at that meeting, it may
be said that all was done that could have been
done, as regards action in the premises, yet
1t would have promised better for the ultimate
success Of the project, had larger meeting
been present, and more interest manifested by
the participators in the proceedings.
The proceedings of the meeting, which were
short will be found in another column of to-
days paper.
A Committee Of nine gentlemen, all well
qualified to perform the duties assigned them,
were appointed to make certain investigations
relative to the projected work, and to report
to the meeting on Saturday, February 9Th
At this meeting it is desirable that more active
interest be taken by the people, than was shown
on last Saturday evening, otherwise the great
want of our community is likely to remain
unsatisfied. We have urged from time to time
the imperative necessity on the part of the
people Of following this matter up with vigor.
No triHng should be allowed where matter
Every person interested should consider and
reflect well upon every point that may tend to
the advancement Of the end in view, and pro-
pose it, and each exert himself to procure what
ever information may be necessary for the con-
sideration of the next meeting. We noticed,
with regret, that some Of the prominent citi-
zens whose signatures were appended to and
gave influence to the call for the meeting, were
not present at it. Now, we consider, with due
respect to those gentlement, that this is acting
in bad faith with our community Their sig
natures were considered as guarantee of their
support Of the objects Of the meeting, and
their not participating in its proceedings was
calculated to have the effect of discouraging
thoseswho might otherwise have taken more
interest in the project in hand. At the next
meeting, however, we confidently predict this
will not DO the case, all who have lent their
influence to put the movement in motion will
be present, and all will be done that can be, to
forward the good work.

Our Mines.

We extract the following from letter from
a correspondent writing on the mining re-
sources Of our neighborhood: As an evidence
of our progress in quartz mining, notice that
the Jersey Company's mill is nearly ready for
operating, and that their large reservoir is com
peted. The Jersey lode has been thoroughly
tested, so far as regards sufliciency of excel
lent ore, and if the judgment OF our Oldest
miners is to be taken as any criterion of the
value of the vein, it will fall little short Of
being equally as rich as the Josephine and
Pine Tree lodes The five tons crushed from
the Jersey paid over one hundred dollars per
ton.
The Chinese are working away for small
wages in Burns Greek. On Mariposa Creek
they may be found in large numbers, and are
carrying the dirt from the hills to the creek
The miners generally are making extensive
preparations for the expected rains. Many
new bitches have been cut and reservoirs built
The camp of Lewisburg bids fair to become
a thriving mining camp. 1t is the headquar-
ters of the Jersey Company, and also the resort
for many Of the Placer miners Clouds float
auspicious over head--the rain will commence
falling very soon. So mote it be.

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.

The Inaugural Address of Governor Weller
is thus commented on by a cotemporary-a
view of the document which we heartily en-
dorse 1t is production that must command
the admiration of all men, whatever views they
may entertain concerning the policy announced
by the Executive The boldness, explictness
and independence that so peculiarly distinguish
this from similar documents, must impress the
mind with confidence in the capacity and
patriotism Of the author This much will be
conceded even by the most rabd enemy of
Colonel Weller. To his political and personal
friends, who know the man, the clear and en-
ergetic enunciation of the policy that will mark
his administration, is not at all surprising, how
ever agreeable. 1t is nothing more than what
they expected from hint is nothing more
than formal manifestation Of those qualities
Of craftsmanship, that lead the Democracy by
common voice to place him in the chair he
occupies. The moment his name was hoisted
as the candidate for Governor, the singular fit
ness of the nomination received the cordial
sanction of the public mind from one end of
the State to the other and from that time
until the moment he was invested with the
functions of the chief Executive, the public
became more and more impressed with the
conviction that he was the man for the times.
His enemies will scarcely gainsay the justness
of the estimate in which he has been held bv
the people.

Territory, for the transportation Of troops and
munitions of war, in case of war with the
Mormons. If this be the case, we will proba-
bly, hear of them again shortly
The following items we take from the Los
Angeles Star.
MILITARY AFFATRs.-The exposed position
of this district, lying on the confines of the
State, and open to rruption by the Mormon
forces, has attracted the attention Of the com
mander of the Pacific Department, Gen. Clark,
who has issued certain orders to the troops in
this district We are enabled to state, on au-
thority, the following movements: Maj. Blake,
commanding at San Diego is ordered to take
post at Martins ranch, at the mouth of the
Cajon Pass, with the staff, band and all the
mounted men of his command. Lieut.. Mer-
Ger, of Fort TETON, is also under orders, with
his company, for the same place. DIR. Ten
Brock is to accompany Lieut. Mercer's COM
mand Lieut. I. Magruder, Regimental Quar-
termaster, First Dragons, is authorized to
furnish stores and transportation for the com
mand. The united force, it is supposed, will
amount to about eighty men, and are to hold
themselves in readiness for march to the Co
dorado.
SAN BERNARDNo.-The exodus of the Nor
mons was not complete at the last accounts
some thirty to fifty families still remained.
1t is estimated that some two hundred and if-
ty wagons had started from that town for
Utah. Probably twelve hundred persons were
in these trains. OF these, many were from
the northern section of the State, who obtained
their " fit-out" at that place. These parties
took with them not less than from ten to fif-
teen tons of powder, two or three thousand
guns, revolvers, ETC., and other warlike arti-
cles in proportion Some persons had some
six or eight pieces. San Bernardno is being
rapidly filled up by families from the Monte,
who have purchased lots in the city. The
property has generally been disposed of at
one-half, and one-fourth Of the present value
of the improvements
PURCHASE OF SoNoRA.-We may state that
we have seen letter from an officer in the
army, at Fort Buchanan, to a gentleman at
present in this city, in which the writer asserts
that the State of Sonora has been purchased
by the United States, for the sum Of SIS, ,O00,-
900, and that the treaty will be Immediately
laid before the Senate for ratification.
Mariposa Democrat., 1858-01-14

THE WRATHER-The weather for q week
past has been of very changeable kind
The mornings were, up to yesterday, ushered
in with heavy frost, and the atmosphere was
dry and cold, with all the appearances of a
northern winter, minus the snow and rain.
Several very slight showers had fallen, promis.
ing the looked-for supply of water to the mi.
ncrs, but only to disappoint them. The days,
after the frost had been dispelled by the &c.
nial rays Of the rising sun, were comparatively
warm and pleasant, and the latter part Of
the days more resembled Spring than Winter
Tuesday night, however, we were blessed with
cop;ous showers, which continued during The
day. on Wednesday.

FROM LA GRANGE-A correspondent writing
from La Grange, whose communication did
not reach us in season for last weeks paper,
writes as follows: ave had splendid Ball
here on New Years Eve, at the La Grange
Hotel. About forty-fve ladies from Tuolumue,
Mariposa, Merced and San joaquin counties
were present, whose attendance lent unusual
gaiety and pleasure to the entertainment. The
ballroom was tastefully decorated for the oc-
cason, an arch for the musicians was beauti-
fully ornamented, and presented unique and
pleasing appearance as did also the walls and
floor which were painted and ornamented with
appropriate notices, in fact the entire ball
room was well arranged, and does credit
to the protector, Mr. John H. Richardson,
whose skill in such things is proverbial. An
elegant repast was spread by the host and
hostess, Mr.. and Mrs. Woodhead, and the most
epicurean palate could not but praise their
efforts. The whole affair was the most recherche
Of the season. On the 4th instant dramatic
troupe performed in the same room, to very
large audience On the 9th, the Mountain
Dramatic Troupe gave another theatrical en-
tertainment, which was well attended, and
gave universal satisfaction"

Later from the Southern Coast.

The San Diego Herald says, that on Thurs
day last, Sheriff Getman was shot and instant
Iy killed, by an insane man whom he was at
tempting to arrest. The assassin was after
wards killed by the citizens.
Lieut. Beale left San Diego on the I'd inst,
with an escort of forty-five dragons, on Sc
cret service. 1t is not positively known what
the destination of the party under Bea may
be, but it is generally suspected that he has
been ordered to explore Il new route into Utah

WASHINGTON QUARTZ MmL-During the
week we visited this steam mill, situated near
Quartzburg The lode from which the quartz
rock is obtained for crushing is but short
distance from the mill, and may be classed as
one of the best in this vicinity, gold being
visible in it throughout. The mill crushes on
an average eight tons per day, and the propri-
etor, Mr.. Wyard, is no doubt deriving a remu-
nerativc profit for his perseverance and in
dustry.

president PRO TEN. OF THE SENATE.-1on.
Samuel A. Merritt, the President pro tenn. Of
the Senate, sayst the State journal, is young
man, but an old member of the California
Legislature. He has both experience and
ability to fit him for the position TO which the
favor of the Sepate has elevated him. We
congratulate Mr.. Merritt on the high compli-
ment paid him, and at the same time take
pleasure in giving expression to the opinion
that il is well merited.

rR"The Portland (0regon) Standard learns
from Stock Whitley, the Indian chief, who has
lately been out in the Snake country, that the
Snakes have leagued with the Mormons against
