YuBA VERSUS NEvapA.-The annual

YUBA VERSUS NEvADA.-The annual
bill for the benefit OF Yuba has again
been presented il the Legislature by
one of her representatives. Once more
Yuba claims of Nevada large sum of
money alleged to be due from the lat
ter to the former as her portion of the
debt of Yuba when Nevada became a
separate county in 1851. If Yuba is
INDECENT let her say SO and we will en-
deavor to raise a contribution for her
relief; but as for paying her one dollar
on that miscroble claim we apprehend
there is no disposition in this county to
do it, We do not owe Yuba a solitary
cent. The boot is on the other foot
Nevada payed taxes for years to Iu-
la. Her tax collectors roamed over
our territory demanding tithes from our
citizens which Were taken to Marysville
and expended in that vicinity. Yuba
has shorn our citizens for her own bene
fit. Scarcely dollar was ever expend.
cd in our territory for roads, bridges
or any thing else. Nevada was proceed.
ed against as subjugated province
taxed but never benefited by taxation
There was no such thing as justice to
Nevada man in the courts of Ynba
1t cost him every cent involved in the
case to obtain Judgment and all for the
building up of town and county to
which we were never allied in interest
or feeling.
Byright Yuba owes this county to-
day every dollar collected for taxes in
our territory for county purposes prior
to the separation in 1851, and we hope,
to put an end to the importunate de-
mauds of Yuba, that on: representatives
will take pains to ascertain the amount
due US and annually press the claim for
the next thousand years or until Yuba
gives over her confounded humbuggery
If the claim Of Yuba is a just one, why
has it not been adjudicated before eight
loug years passed away! Why was not
a payment of a portion of the debt Of
Yuba made a condition of the act of
separation 1t is pretty time to
clalnor for more "bucksheesh" at this
late day.

Districting the State.-The San Fran
cisco National, singly and alone we be-
lieve. among The newspaper press, is
decidedly adverse to the passage of the
bill pending between the two houses of
the Legislature for dividing the State
into congressional districts. o..
This State has sent representatives
to Washington since her constitution
was adopted in open defiance. of a. law
of Congress that States. must be district
ed. Every attempt TO comply with that
law has been foilcd by interested par
ties. Yearly an effort is made to meet
the requirements Of law, but that party
that constantly prates of law and order
Is always found potent enough to put
it down. 1t is probable the bill now
under consideration will .2cet its accus-
toned ia Congress to do, justice to
lis own enactments should refuse to
allow California representa- tives seat
until the State elects them by dis
tricts accordfng-to law. There will be
two Representatives elected this year,
and they should be elected in districts.
After the census is. taken in. 1860, next
year, by the general government the
State will require to DC re-districied. as
it will be found that California is enti-
tied to a larger delegation than two in
the House Of Representatives. :, The
State, however. can by no means obtain
more than two until after the census is
taken, and no change can be effected
in the districts till he Legislature of
1851 assemblies, in time for. the con-
gressional election of that year. We
want the State distrieted now for
the next congressional term. The Leg
islature can make such changes in 1851,
as the census may warrant. '-,.''+' =

"THE NoRTHwEsT."- "A pamphlet
copy of an address delivered before the
American Geographical and Statistical
Society at New York, by the Hon. Isaac
l. Stevens, delegate in Congress from
Washington Territory, for which we are
indebted to the Honorable gentleman
himself, lies on our table. A synopsis
of the address has already been made
public through the columns of the New
York press with accompanying COM
mendations. 1t is rich in historical and
statistical facts. Governor Stevens is a
sterling representative. He is applying
at the right place for the material to
build up State on Puget Sound. The
Territory he represents wants popula.
ton, and he goes TO work setting forth
in the swarming hive of the Northeast
the resources and advantages of the
Northwest. Such labors are of more
value to his people than any service he
could perform in Congress.

New AsYLUM.-A project is on foot
in the Legislature, aided and abetted by
interested parties, to procure the estab-
lishment Of an Insane Asylum at Marys
vile. Nevada county from her popula-
ton, and proximity to Marysville may
be said to be as largely interested in tn
project as any county save and except
Yuba. But Nevada asks for no stupen-
dous outlay ofmoney like this. A new
Asylum will cost not less than 100000
TO build it and say 100000 per annum
to keep it up for the first ten yeais.-
The inmates can be taken care of much
cheaper at Stockton. If the present
Asylum is not large enough let it be ex-
tended. Let us follow to some extent
the example set us by sister States
The great State of New York with a
population of more than three millions
has but one State institution for the In
sane. What does California with one
sixth the population Of Now York want
with two Insane Asylums, two sets of
officers and attaches. and consequently
two sets of blood suckers
1t is time enough twenty years from
now to agitatc the question of a second
Asylum. Wait till we have thousand
inmates at Stockton and when the cost
of keeping up extensive establishments
is lessened. If our legislators are puz-
xlcd to know what to do with the $780,
600 in the Treasury. let them take good
counsel and appropriate half million
to the payment of our four million debt.
Besides saving the State nearly thirty
five thousand dollars per annum interest
money. the act may redeem the Legis-
lature slightly from the merited con-
tempt it has thus early brought upon
itself.

LIENS TO LABoRERs IN THE MINES.
We have received from Hon. Jno. Cald-
well. a copy ofa bill to secure liens to
laborers in the mines, introduced by Mr..
Slingerland 1t provides that laborers
in placer, tunnel or quartz mines, may
obtain lien on the premises where the
labor has been performed. We see
nothing Objectionable in the bill. On
the contrary the provisions seem to be
just, and we hope the bill will become a
law. There can be no reason in the
world why the laborer in tunnels, &c
should not have the security held out to
him by law that a mechanic has. Put
all laborers as near as possible on the
same footing, is the true principle to be
acted upon by Legislators.

Two New DlsTRICTs.-The G over
ernor has signed the bill creating two
new judicial districts. Hereafter Ne.
vada alone constitutes a judicial dis
trict with a resident judge. We under
stand the Act requires the Governor to
commission and appoint a judge for
each ofthe new districts till the next
general election, when judges arc to be
elected by the people. From the fact
that the Governor has given his sigma
turc to the act without a constitutional
objection, We suppose he has no doubt as
to its eonstitutionality, and will proba-
bly, 60 On and make the appointments.
There has heretofore, however, been
apredccessor of Governor Weller who
denied the power of himselfto make such
appointments and he was fortified in his
opinion by able legal gentlemen. When
the fourteenth and fifteenth judicial
districts were created in 1856, tho bill
required the Governor to appoint judges
to the districts, in nearly the same if
not the same language as that used in
the bill of Mr.. Fitzpatrick. Gov. Bigler
refused to sign that bill on the ground
that it required him to perform uncon-
stitutional acts-his power of appoint
ment only extending to racaxcies. New
offices never filled could not, he conten-
dcd, be called vacant. A vacancy must
be caused by death. resignation, ina
bility &c. of former Incumbent
The representatives from the fourteenth
district at least, agreed to assume the
responsibility of depriving the people of
tho district of district court until af-
ter the next election. to obtain the Gov
ernor's signature of the bill. A petition
was presented Gov. Bigler. asking him
TO sign the bill as it was and not make
the appointments required by to which
he yielded. The people ofthis county
knew no district court from April until
October following. when u judge cleo
ted by the people began to discharge
his duties.
1t is proper, however, here to remark
that Governor Bigier was not tormented
with any such constitutional scruples
when the twelfth district was formed out
of the fourth in 1853. In that case, pre-
cisely analogous to that presented in
1855, the Governor appointed Edward
Norton. Reflection, or some other
cause. induced him afterwards to change
his views or at least his action. Gov.
Weller had better examine the question.
Should he be troubled with constitution
al qualms a supplemental act making the
new district act take effect after the
next general election would remedy the
difficulty.
Since the above was written, Gov.
Weller has appointed J. II. Hardy.
judge of the Calavcras district. The
appointment for Sierra and Plumas
will doubtless shortly follow.
