LITTLE ACrs OF GREAT MEN.-The President
Of the United States has done very little thing;
he has removed an cid man, named Randolph,
from Office, because twenty-five years ago he had
insultcd General Jackson. Because Of some diff
l,cuty with a friend of President Jackson, Ran
dolph was dismissed from the Navy. Soon after
be met the General on steamboat and pulled his
nose. Randolph has since been frequently heard
10 deporc the fact of lis having offered indignity
TO the brave old warrior, and made every atone
r,ent in his power for the rashness of anger. A
while ago he was appointed to a small office; sew
eral partisan journals clamored at the appoint
ment, and President Buchanan was weak enough
TO turn the old man out of Office, taking away all
he had TO depend on for the support of his wife
and children, and all because of an act repented
Of and atoned for twenty years ago. The act is
unworthy Of the President of great and mag
Eanimous nation, and if he were alive, none
would despisc it more than the brave old man of
the Hermitage.

HOME MATTERS.

WHEN FROGS BEGIN TO SoUALL.'-We guess
the frogs in the swamp have been celebrating
Valentines carnival, and like the Chinese, keep
up the spree for week. For several nights they
have pped away necessarily, though it was cold
enough to discourage the most enthusiastic am
phibian.
Two JURIEs have disagreed in the trial of the
Pat Tobin case. The evidence of principal
witness, by an interpreter was not self sustain
ing, the jury thought. 1t will be tried again, in
a few days.
THE FLOODS have run down, leaving the little
streams that last week were so bosterous, bereft
of their short-lived powers. Water will contin-
ue abundant in the basin until June.
Two beautiful rairbows appeared, north Of
town, early in the week They just spanned the
valley, as exactly as if cut out for the purpose.
THURSDAY was as cloudless, warm and beauti-
full, as a day in mid summer-in wonderful con-
trast with the suicide weather OF last week.

LEGISLATURE. The Union is of opinion that
the Legislature is making but slow progress. In
the two months of session no measure of great
Importance has been projected. In the Assem-
bly,, half the time is occupied by questions of
privilege, and in discussion of points of order
Eighteen hundred citizens of Sacramento and
Nevada petitioned for repeal of the law dis
qualifying negro testimony. The Judiciary Com
mitee have ten or dozen similar petitions. No.
tice has been given in the Assembly of bill pro-
viding fifty thousand dollars to pay the Law and
Order army, of Vigilance times-some sharp
discussion will follow that Nothing else in the
weeks proceedings of much Importance; most of
the time was occupied in the discussion of tax,
revenue, and unimportant special bills

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 81, 1858.

FENCING OUT SINNERs.-The Pacific newspaper
condemns Bishop Kip for confirming an actress,
Mrs. 1Iayne,, to membership in the Episcopal
church. We like this sort of exclusive piety it
will be particularly popular with the saints al
ready in heaven, as il would prevent them from
being crowded. We think, however, this man is
swinging his internal fre-brand outside the gates
of heaven without authority he is little more
vigilant that his Master requires him to be, and he
may, possibly, frighten people away who, but for
him, would make very good citizens of the king
dom. He reminds US OF very severe old minis
ter we once knew. At communion occasion the
old man went through with process which he
called fencing the table, He drew a line so
near the Holy of Holes that there was no room
for a soul to stand between. His requistions of
holiness were so severe that the Beloved Disciple
himself could have hardly passed muster. Then
alter terrifying his congregation with imm edate
accommodation, with one'blow of the ccclesi-
astical beetle he knocked down the bars, and
crying come unto me all ye that are heavy laden
cd permitted all to partake of the ordinance.
Sentiments like that uttered by the Pacific are
what makes men and women hesitate to join th e
Christian Church. Such interpreters of scripture
make the Supreme Being an implacable, revenge
ful fury, and Christians themselves company Of
wo-begone, fearful pilgrims through valley fill
cd with instruments of eternal torture, by river
of fire nnquenchable. When they shall have end
cd their pilgrimage and secured their seats in
Heaven, out of reach of the communicating pres
once Of those whom they warn of from the Ark o
Safely, they will be amazed at the great multi
tude coming from the North, South, East and
West, and from the uttermost parts Of the earth
whom the Board of Equalization will place be
side them. century hence their decimatinl
theology will live among the thumb screws ant
broken racks and constructing iron-crowns of tht
dark ages.

WONDERFUL NEGLECT OF HEAVY MATTERs.-
For more than week the Golden Era has seen
but one newspaper article on the 'Mormons,' and
only twelve or fifteen on kansas and she Admin
istration.' The Herald, however, put settler on
the London Times, and the Alta gave the English
Government some excellent advice in relation to
the proper management of Sepoys. The Era is
excusable for making fun of the absurd affectation
of prolundty, in some of the San Francisco pa
pers no person, at liberty to exercise in the back
yard, would read through one of their stupid
leaders, unless in fulfllment of vow to morti-
fly the flesh for given length of time. They are
of less importance than the weather table of a
last years almanac.

TRINITY lNDIANs.-From various places we
hear reports of the deplorable condition of the
Indians. The destructive influences that civil.
zatlon brings about them are destroying them by
q lingering but inevitable death. Our CORES
pondent tells us how wretched their condition is
IN this county IT is the same everywhere, and
the designs of Government to better their fate
have been unavailing. They have been hunted
down, like wild animals and carried, unwilling
ly, to Reservations. but they will not remain
They are wandering people, but they have cer-
tain places to which they return and dwell awhile
and they cannot endure the restraints of limits
set to their walks. More than this, many of them
have been robbed of their women. White men
have taken the Indians wives from their lodges,
and taught them to despise the squalid, lazy
creatures who used to make them slaves Besta
as they are, they have still something like human
affections, and will not be driven from the places
where their wives and children remain. We are
told that in this county hundreds of white men
are living with squaws whom they have taken
from their Indian companions the latter were
taken to the Reservation but ran away and re-
turned. What else could be expected? The wild
beast bereaved Of its mate prowls round its pris-
on-place, indifferent to menaeing danger, and
becomes lean, detected and spiritless in its lone
illness.
A bill has been introduced in the Legislature,
which aims to disfranchise the children of Indian
women by white men, but that will not remedy
the evil or better the condition OF the Indians
Men who degrade themselves by cohabitng with
and making wives of rational brutes, care little
for the fate Of their progeny. Some more posi-
tive law is required. If Government recognize
Indians as humans, and undertakes to protect
them, it should include the domestic protection
which is recognized by civilization everywhere.
As general thing, Indian agents do little to
benefit the people whose interests they are re-
quired to look after. The agencies are generally
given, as a reward for party services, to persons
who know little of and care nothing for the crea-
lures who are told to look to them for protec-
ton Our correspondent asks where is the In
dian AgentP We venture to say that he is this
moment in the lobby of the State Capitol, super
intending the passage of bill which has no re-
lation TO bis occupation, whatever. Geiger, we
believe, is the person set apart for the care Of
the Indians referred to, and he is about well
fitted for such charge as he is to preach the gos-
pei in a Christian church. He is one of the old
time, loafing politicians who sticks to the lobby
flooring Of the capitol, like barnacle to boat
keel.
We refer the matter to our Representative
who may move the Legislature to inform Con-
gress that the Indians of California are starving,
robbed of their women, dying by hundreds, of
loathsome disease, and appealing to humanity for
mercy.

THE EDITOR VINO Is so HURRED.-We read
great deal of stuff in newspapers about the ed-
tors being so much hurried that they can't find
time to reflect. 1t is all humbug and moonshine-
A man who undertakes to instruct the public, at
odds and ends of time, is not worthy OF being
heard at all. Editing newspaper well, requires
the whole attention and time of the person who
undertakes it, but be never need be in hurry,
if he will attend to his business at the proper
time. We have often marvelled at the wonderful
leisure or editors who sit for hours in public
houses, talking politics, or lounge along the street
all day and at the theatres at night, and wthal,
fill their papers with reading natter But such
reading matterp They were hurried they
ything, they were so hurried and they keep so
hurried, all the timc till death hurries them out
of the world.

The KIND OF AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN
The State Journal having gone 'a-strolling' and
seen the Governors and Supreme Judges wives
at work, exclaimed 'These are the kind of wo-
men eminently fitted to be mothers of our future
great menp Then the Sacramento Age went a
strolling' too, and having seen Squire Jones wife
at work, and Dutch woman driving two mules,
and Bridget O'Toole spanking young one, on
that il-starred spot, where mothers smte their
young exclaimed !: these are the women em-
nently fitted to become mothers of our future
great men = And then seeing a stout fellow 60
ing up a ladder, with hod of bricks, another
digging a cellar, and q third rolling a barrow,
added and these are the men 'eninently fit

WEEDTNG 'EM OUT.-Assemblyman Stakes has
introduced Bill to give District Judges the pow
er to dismiss disreputabe and incompetent attor-
neys. 1t would be beneficial both to the COM
munity and to competent and honorable men of
the legal profession, if about one-third now pro-
Tossing some knowledge of the law were suspend
ed. We regard the practice of law as one of the
most honorable occupations OF men, but nothing,
in all nature, is more contemplate than an ilte-
rate, muddle- Drained person attempting to ex-
pound and apply the principles Of law, on which
the brightest intell gences of the country study
profoundly. We hope Stakes will pin 'em fast,
