A Blunder.

Under this heading the Shasta Courier
makes the following pointed observations:
Assemblyman Young. of Nevada. has given
notice of his intention to introduce bill to
abolish all the offices iu the gift of the Gov
ernor. The object is to strike telling lick
at the further Gubernatorial. or Senatorial
aspirations of Mr.. Weller. by placing it out of
his power to put friends Of his in positions
where they IN do him essential or, at least,
important service. If this he the only aim of
the bill, we trust the Democratic members of
the California Legislature will not disgrace
themselves by treating it with any sort of re-
spectful consideration. While we are now
and always have been in favor of curtaing
the patronage Of Executive officers, to that
extent which the interests Of the State de-
mand, yet we believe t is movement initia-
ted by Mr.. Young, is a political blunder-a
political erime-because it is an effort, by
legislation, simply to injure the political stan
dlng of an unimpeached and, we believe, un-
impeachable Democrat. What right have
legislators thus to prostitute their exalted po.
ntlons? What right have Democrats thus.

than he can ever hope to accomplish by mere.

dignities the position of the Lobby Member,

knowing well that love and the collie are al
ways the worse for an empty stomach, they
never fail to provide something substantial

Mooney, to welcome him on the evenings of
his visits. Of course, each young lady thinks
herself the sole object Of Moneys devotions.

the young ladies' stockings and handkerchief

gowns, petticOats. &c; either having them al.

THAT New MODELLED BoAT-Quite crowd
Of curiosity hunters assembled yesterday. at
o'clock in the afternoon. to witness the
trial Of the new modelled boat, which has
been built by Mr.. Garrett II. Hopper, after
the style Of the WinAns patent. The trial
took place near Pacific street wharf, and was
well worth seeing. The boat is. from ap
pearances, about twenty. four feet in length
with not over three feet beam. She is cylin-
drical. and, like pirogue sharp at both
ends, and hooped like water barrel or oh
long tank On the top there is circular
hole just long enough to admit and seat
single oarsman, aud give room for the play
Of his body fore and aft as he pulls the oars.
She gives easily to power applied, and glide'
upon rather than through the water. Under
the pressure Of one man power she made most
