Legislature.

The eleventh session of the Califo, MIA lee.
islature will meet on Monday next. We
have no idea that 1t will be short session.
First on the taps will be the election of a
United States Senator. After this is dispos-
ed Of, then comes the regular egsla-
ton Of the session. and among other troub-
lesome questions will no doubt be the Bulk
head, upon which much time, will be spent,
and many wordy speeches made. The Rev
enue law should be amended in some par
ticulars, and the State taxes reduced. We
can see no use in keeping up the present
rate of taxes, and having almost constantly
half million of Dollars in the State Treas
ury. The balance of Indebtedness not
funded should be paid off this session.
Why not take up Burton's bill and pass it.
The error of many Legislators, is de-
sire to get upon the statute book numerous
laws of their own creation. We think, with
the laws we now have in force, Legislation
would be more profitaLIy employed in sim
plifyng them, and in correcting their errors
and Inconsistencies.

Shooting Affair in Todd's Valley.

On Sunday night last difficulty occur
red in saloon in Todd's Valley between
y man named John Dickinson, and Sikesy,
the keeper of the saloon which resulted in
the wounding of the former by pistol shot.
Dickinson, it seems was on quite intimate
terms with Skesy, and had several times
borrowed money Of him. On this occasion
he entered the saloon and asked S. for ten
dollars which which S. refused to loan him,
saving that he had not the money to spare,
whereupon few angry words took place
between them; they soon, however, made
up their quarrel and Dickinson got to talk
ing with another man near the stove, and
disagreeing ID. put his hand to the mans
breast and showed him back, when Sikesv
came from behind the counter and fired upon
d. wouudng him in the arm and side very
severely. Placer Courier Dec. 20

Their fore
Resolved, BY the Democracy of Town
slips No. and 10, in joint convention as
sembeG, that we recognize in the HON.
JOHN b. WELLER, of Sacramento man
of undaunted firmness, whose rreproachable
character, ability, integrity, and sound ma
tionality has been tried, and not found want
ing. That his devotion to. and advocacy OF
Democratic princi PIES while a Representa-
tive in Congress from Ohio, and as United
States Senator for California, and Governor
of this State, is sufficient guarantee for
the future that he will be true TO bis eonsttu-
ency and to the interests of the Fed ,ra
Union; and further, that he vii! oppose with
his utmost zeal and ability, the fanaical and
dangerous doctrines of the selfstyled Repub
lcan party; as evidenced by the sympathy
shown by many of their leaders, to the insur
recionists at Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
they (he leaders Of the Republican partly

reasonable design, which, had it been
successful, would have destroyed all the
fundamental compromises upon which the
Federal Government is established. There

seque"'ly, we earnestly urge upon the atten-
tion Of our legislators the Importance of Il
final disposition of the question a. the ear-
est practicable moment of the present SEES
sion of the Legislature.
Resolped, That we earnestly request that
each and every Representative from Placer

FAILURE OF JoHN A. WAsHINGroN Con

FAILURE OF JoHN A. WASHINGTON Con-
rRADlcrEp.The following paragraph from
the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, publishedsnear
Mount Vernon, sets the stoty of the failure
of John A. Washington entirely at rest:
Some Of the Northern papers are again
circulating ridiculous stories, utterly desti-
tute of the sembIance of truth, with regard
to the pecuuiary responsibility of John A..
Washington and the title to the Mount Yer
non estate. All these stories are the merest
fabricatious, and the motive that induces
their circulation is as evident as it is remark
able.
