THE AMOUNT OF LAw.-We would be
pleased to see the man who has taken into
his mental stomach all of the laws made and
all of the arguments and decisions on law in
California We would like to contemplate
him as does the traveller decayng wayside
mark of better days, or as an immigrant from
a small potato meighborhood does the ex-
cessive appearance of California vegetables
This State has been so accused eff lawless-
ness that the fact of over abundance of law
is overlooked. There is maria for origin
ating and deciding upon Law; the arguments
and opinions on law annually, would fill a
book larger than half dozen large copies
of the bible combined, and the money in
volved in supporting tae Industrious and
wordy judiciary, and in maintaining the va
ried and incessant litigation, would out
weigh the amount of gold shipped monthly,
The amount of law transacted in California
is incalculable and though we are told that
the courts are arriving at more convenient
system of controversy and decision, there
seems to be laborious expansion rather
than easy and rapid condensation. If there
be a man who has stored away knowledge
of the vastness of the law, it is his duty as
patriot and as an extraordinary individual,
to reduce his information to double distilled
essence, and having sprinkled it on the COM
monwealth, claim reward, through the graf
itude of the people, out of the public trea-
sury.-Stockton Republican.

LIscoLN.--The Nevada National thus

speaks of the new town in Placer county:
Though the wild geese are now feeding on
the green grass that covers the avenues and
beautifully laid out plazas of Lincoln, we
predict that in few months hence it will
be the depot for nine-tenths of the travel
and commerce ofNeyada county to and from
Sacramento city

It is related of the witty Dominican Monk,
Rocco, that be- had a great dislike to to-
bacco, and when once preaching to crowd
of Spanish sailors, he astounded them by
telling them that there were no Spanish
saints in heaven A few, he saids bad been
admitted, but they smoked so many cigars
that they made the Holy Virgin sick, and

out exception, ran off to see-the fight, ard

TRAvED OF THE DEAD.-The body of Mrs.
Hughes, the wife of an emigrant, has been
brought from Fort Laramie, where she died.
and inferred in Stockton. Upon leaving for
California, she did not expect to survive the
Journey She had previously provided for
the result, tin coffin having been procured
as part of the outfit. Her remains were
brought some seventeen hundred miles, ac-
cording to her request, and buried in the
vicinity of the future residenceof her family.
There is lesson of tender, earthly leve in
this request of the wife and mother, and in
the faithful fulflment of her desire.-Tfmes.

WAsHoE SILvER.-We gather from the
Times that about one hundred tons of silver
ore has been conveyed to San Francisco for
assay, and large quantity more is known
to be en- route for the same destination
1t is mostly brought in strong wooden
boxes, it being too valuable to be carried in
bags liable to be torn or worn out during
the transit BY land to Sacramento Before
going into the furnace the ore is reduced to
a fine powder, by means of stamps, and then
smelted in the peculiar furnace required
When drawn out the metal is composition
of lead, silver and gold-the lead is then sep
aratcd from the mass and the combined sill
yer and gold sent to the Mint for coinage.
The proportion Of gold varies from thirty
cents to one dollar in each ounce averaging
net far from fifty cents, taking the whole
together. The expense of quarryings casting
and smelling so far, has been little less than
5000 per ton, still leaving profit to the
owner of $4,000 on each and every ton Of
ore.

RAILROAD DEBT IN MIssouRf-The follow
ing significant extract we take from the St
Louis correspondent Of the Standard. Does
it not indicate what would be the effect in
This State of contracting big railroad debt?
The railroad crisis is an important one
Toward $24 100000 State credit in the shape
Of bonds has been issued to our several rail-
roads. Some fifteen, perhaps eighteen mil
lions of this amount carry AN interest of from
over 100000 to $l,lOo, 600, which interest
will seon have to be paid out of the State
Treasury, the receipts of the road not suf
kcing for that purpose. At the same time
there is a strong anxiety to complete the Pa
ci6c Railroad to Kansas. There is also a
strong interest in favor of the continuation
of the Iron Noun tain road to connect with Il
line from Memphis, and of the North Mis-
souri, road to the northern boundary Of the
State. AS the Constitution forbids the State
to contract debt beyond $50, 100000, it is
quite impossible that all these desires should
be satisfied, unless what is not to be looked
for, corporations and individuals step in to
supply the deficit of the means necessary.
1t is now impossible to conjecture what, if
anything, will be done by the Legislature.
Undoubtedly the State was never more en-
barrassed with impending debt and the diff
fculty of avoiding an increase of it.

ONE OF THE HEIREssEs.-A lively CORES
pondent of the EUening Telegram, who was
on board the John Z. Stephens on alate trip
to Panama, thus relates an adventure he had
with an heiress on board, from one of the
"cow counties:
We had an heiress on board, young,
pretty, witty, and worth $40 900 in her own
name, as she is an orphan. She is from one
of the COW counties, and has seen out little
of the world. I was fascinated with her
bright eyes and red, poutng lips 4 was
charmed with her tiny feet that "peeped in
and out like mice from underneath her pet
aticoats," as she sglided about 'the'deek. Il
drank the health in bumpers of champagne,
of the girl that seemed made up of ivory
and pearls, strawberries and cream-and
my bachelor friends joined me in the chorus
"Then, who'd be grave, when wine can save
Tf,e saddest heart from sinking.
When magic grapes make angel shapes
OF the darling girls we're drinking"
l sought an introduction, and in the
choicest words Of my vocabulary extended
to her an invitation to promenade on deck.
Her eyes sparkled, she flung back her raven
curls, gave me glance eloquent of the plea
sure she felt, and answered in voice of ell
oquent sweetness, "You betr
We went on deck, and | talked of the
beautiful sunset, how much nature exceeded
art, and asked her if, in her country home,
she had ever seen anything half so beauti-
ful, and again she answered, "No, sir, you
bet p / have not been .e walk with that
girl since, because feared that if l should
task her." she would refuse in the classic
language, "You git!"

EASTERN EXTENSION RAILRoAp.-The early
completion of this road is a matter of no
little importance to the people of Nevada
County. It is the initiatory in building a
mountain road, and will be extended from
time to time as circumstances will admit
A contract has been entered into for the con-
struction Of seven miles of the road, to con-
meet with the California Central Road at
Eincoln, and to terminate in the neighbor-
hood of Gold Hill, Placer county, being the
most favorable and direct line to Grass VAL
ley and Nevada. The iron rails, chairs and
spikes are already purchased, shipped, and
on the way to San Francisco; and no rea-
sonabe doubt exists, of the completion of
the road to that point, by the first of June
next. From the terminus of the railroad, a
turnpike has been surveyed and will be con-
structed, early in the spring, to English's
Bridge across Bear River-National.

FEMALE GYMNAsTs-The Marysville Dam
ocrct says that several handsome ladies Of
that city are practicing in the Gymnasium
They attend at regular hours and go through
the lighter exercises. We think they show
very good sense in doing so, for there is no
such beautifer of cheek, and eye, and lip,
and form, as exercise. Lola Montez. in her
work on Beauty, which seems to be a stand
ard authority, especially recommends the
exercise of the arms, seeing that so much
of female loveliness resides in finely
rounded arm and well-developed bust, to
say nothing of the clear blood that dances
Beneath a smooth and healthy skin.

CALIFORNIA POETRY.

Prom poem by Mrs. Anne K. Fl. Fader,
published in the Trinity Journal, we extract
these -stanzas, retaining the title of
Common Sense.
When men and women ape the airs
OF those above their lot in life,
And lose their souls amid the snares
That spring from Iow-born fashion strife:
And when those worldlings look'with scorn
On those who earn the bread they eat,
1t shows their minds very SMALL,
And very much is lacking yet.
When they consider outside show
Surpassesweath of mind and heart,
1t proves they very little know
OF acting well in life their part.
when trampling on another's right,
A mortal grasps the things of earth,
1t shows not only want of heart,
But%aht of sense and moral worth.
When ladies dress beyond their means,
And silks and jewels flash around,
1t shows they do not prize the joys,
That in happy home are found;
When parents think shcirchldren's s4ools
OF more Importance than their souls,
And let them float along the wave,
That DER the earth i'll sadness rolls
We need not look for manly boys
As promises of nobler men,
Oh hope for girls instead of toys,
Such training does not foster them!
And there are many other things
Which it would the human mind
Might see, and ponder, nor remain
70 its own interests so blind
The following little gem, says the Sonora
Age, was received by a friend of ours,
through the post Office of the late festival
in Columbia. We hope to see more toose
leaves from the ledger of Time" for, surely,
the account below foots up very much to the
credit of the author:
Loose leaves from the Ledger of Time.
There were loose leaves from the Ledger of Time
All some were blotted and blurred
With the traces of tears and the color of crime;
One bore reason another a rhyme,
And some but single word
Twas 'Mery,' willy Charley or fJohn,'
1t was somebody loved--it was somebody gone:
Twas babein o cradlc-twas a wife in the grave
For the Death angel took when the Life angel gave.
There lines that he wrote, there were books that
he read
There songs that she sung there were prayers
that she said
And bu'i half embroidered, she laid it aside,
And the needle still there, where she placed it and
died.

level and verdant plane on his estate into a
map of the world of great and singular in
terest. The spot is about $50 yards in
length from east to west, and $50 in breadth
from north to south. It is enclosed by a
wall of dwarf dimensions. Thirty-six marks
are made ON it eastward and westward) and
eighteen on the north and south, fixing the
degrees of longitude and latitude at ten de-
grees, or GOO inches asunder. Four pieces
of oak timber are laid down, thirty feet long
and eight inches square, With poles at the
distance of three inches, or five miles from
one another, thus making thirty six inches
a degree, and comprising in ten of them a
distance of 600 miles. The scales afford an
opportunity, by cross-leg lines, of determin-
ing particular towns and cities in the same
manner as we operate with scale and COM

aa,d and comfort, and always add a little 10
the rancorous and malignant hatred with which
the aboIItitonists regard the government of their
own country.
Yes the Lecompton issue which Mr. Douglas
made upon the Administration two years ago is
done, and The principles on which we were then
opposed are abandoned. We are no longer re-
qured 10 fight for the lawfulness of a Terrific
rial election held under Territorial authority.
But another issue. IS thrust upon US, TO ''dlsurb
the harmony and threaten the integrity" Of the
party. A few words more, lperhaps of tedious
repetitIon,) by way OF showing what that new
issue is, or probably will be, and we are done.
We insist that an emigrant going into a Fed
eral Territory, retains his title to the property
which he took with him, until there is some
prohibition enacted by lawful authority. MIR.
Douglas cannot deny this in the face of his New
Orleans speech, and the overwhelming reasons
which support it.
1t IS an agreed point among al Democ rats
that Congress cannot interfe re with the rights
of property in the Terrific rIes.
II is also acknowledged that the people of a
new State, either in their constitution or IN all
act of their Legislature, may make the negroes
within it free, or hold them IN state OF serVl-
tude.
But we believe more. We believe in sub
mrtting to the law, as decided by the Supreme
Court, which declares that Territorial Legs
lature cannot, amy more than Congress, IN
terfere with rights ofproperty in Territory
that the settlers OF Territory are bound to wait
until the sovereign power is conferred upon
them, with proper limitations, before they at
tempt TO exercise the most dangerous of all It's
functions. Mr.. Douglas denies this, and there
is thelnew issue.
Why should such an issue be made at such a
time What is there now to excuse any friend
of peace for attempting TO stir up e..btter wa
ters of strife? There is no actual difficulty "a
bout this subject IN any Territory. There is no
question upon it pending before Congress or the
country. We are called upon TO make con-
test, at once unnecessary and hopeless, with
the judicial authority of the nation. We object
to il. We will not obey Mr.. Douglas when he
commands Us TO assault the Supreme Court OF
the United States. We believe the court TO be
right, and Mr.. Douglas wrong.
