A ramp aReOus Little Fellow.

The last Beacon says this paper has been re-
markable for its harsh, vituperative and un-
called-for language"-intimate that we have
made "a political somerset which we do not
like allusion made to-and AYERS plainly that we
are " sore on the navigation subject" Now just
this sort of ridiculous fasifyng it is that always
will call forth from US harsh, but by no means
uncalled for language" We would certainly
beg you not to make q "Judy Fitzsmmonsn of
yourself, did we not know that the Maker of us
all had, for some wise purpose, but incompre-
hensible to man, forestalled you in the work.
The week previous the amiable little soul, af-
ter initiating himself with long breath of wind
stretching up his interesting little person, and
pulling erect his shirt collar, with a most con-
ceited swagger and significant nod of his nod
de- informed US that he felt himself able to cope
with us, as grey-goose quill gladiator, any
day. This week he ntimates that we will fully
realize his tremendous prowess before he is out
of our way Good Lord Charley, don't We
hasten to make the GmeRde honorable. We ac-
knowledge you are ayoung man of parts--we do

A Couple of Questions.

Mr.. EDITOR The law makes it the duty of
the Public Administrator to make and publish
annual, and if | mistake not, sem-annual re-
ports of the condition of the estates in his
hands. l observe these requirements of the law
are complied with in Tehama and other counties.
Why has not our late Public Administrator pub
lishec such reports? +? And especially why has
he not published his last annual report2
The law makes it the duty of the County
Clerk to collect three dollars from suffers for
each suit brought in the District Court. For
meriy the money so collected was to be paid to
fhe District Judge, in part payment of his sala-
fy' Last winter, however, law was passed
making it the duty of the Clerk to collect and
pay over this money, monthly, to the County
treasurer, and the duty of the District Attorney
20 see that it was SO applied. am informed
|that there Is no record of any money, collected
from this source, having been thus applied since
the passage of the Act of 1859. And vet the
sums SO collected should, in the aggregate,
amount to perhaps not less than three hundred
|follars Now it is an interesting question as
o what has become of this money
Again 1t is the duty of the Clerk of the Pro-
bate Court to collect for the county, for each
brder made in Probate, fee of one dollar, to be
paid out OF the estate-which sum at the end OF
each month should be paid over to the County
Judge in cash on account of his salary-the re-
|sidue of his salary being paid in scrip. The
County Judge has never received any money
from this source, but has drawn his full pay at
the end of each month in scrip. Now if these
fees have been collected by the Clerk of the Pro-
bate Court, what has become of the money p

PHoToGRAPHIc-A few weeks since our witty
contemporary of the Sierra Democrat compliment

might not see the compliment, printed it for our
special satisfaction, re.aarking at the time
'Did you employ that Sierra paper to take
your photograph, General? There it is. How
do you like it ?"
As one god turn deserves another we feel
under personal obligations to print the reply of
the Democrat to the Heralds questions. As will
be seen, the editor has availed himself of the

of the remains of Sir John Franklin.
The Arctic steamer Fox has returnd. with in
teresting records and relics of the Franklin ex-
pedition, from which it appears that Franklin
died in 1857, and ship was abandoned in I94s.
The Arctic expedition found at Point William
record dated April 25th, ls4s, signed by Cap
tains Crenier and Fitz James, saying that the
Erebus and Terror were abandoned three days
previously, in the ice, and that one hundred and
five survivors were proceeding to Great Fish
River. Sir John Franklin had died June 18th,
of the previous year, and the total deaths to date
were nine officers and fifteen men.
Many interesting relics were found on the
western shore of King Williams Island-others
were obtained from Esquimaux, who stated that
after the abandonment of the ships, one was
crushed by the ice and the other forced ashore
Several skeletons of Frankin's men, quantities
of clothing, and duplicate record up to the

A HORRIBLE CRME.-A most unnatural and
horrible crime has recently been perpetrated in
this community. Some unnatural creature in
human shape-some mother whose maternal
affections and instincts have been DESTROYED by
vice and crime-some monster in female shape,
after giving birth to a female babe, deprived it
Of life, and placed it, wrapped in paper, beneath
tree in the upper corner of Mr. Tull's corral,
next to the graveyard, where on Sunday morn
ing it was found by packer while getting his
mules together. We are not advised whether
the Coroner held an inquest upon the corpse of
the murdered babe. Certainly it should have
been done, and the facts put upon record, and
the officers of justice put upon the track of the
unnatural criminal. We should think it would
be an easy matter, in q town SO small as this,
to discover the perpetrators of this monstrous
murder. The child was undoubtedly born alive,
and was killed by stroke upon the skull A
telegraphic dispatch to the Aha says: aNo sus-
picions as to who is the mother of the child
Oh I! indeed How does the writer know What
would he say if we were to tell him that the
murderers are known?

a Few, Words to Mr.. Bolts of the STAN
dard.

Attend brother Botts We have word Of
admonition and reprimand for you. You are
the editor of the central organ of the Demo-
cratic party of the State. We are the editor of
Democratic paper that belongs to ourselves,
and that is the organ of those who think with it
on political questions. Therefore we can say
what we = please about men and things. So
you can about trifing matters, but not about
important Subjects such as the election of Uni
ted States Senator. You must avoid all risk Of
tramping upon the toes of the parasites of this
or that aspirant, or of twitching the nasal ex-
tremites Of the various atulent self-elected die
tators of the Democratic press. This is a thing,
oh editor Bolts, that you have not attended to,
for we perceive that numerous scallawags are
after you with sharp sticks. Perhaps having
subscribed few dollars (Which they borrowed
from some victimized acquaintance toward the
establishment of the Standard, they labor under
the pleasing delusion that you are their proper
ty, and are angered that, instead of holding up
to the gaze of the world the evidence of your
servile position as craven hireling, you dare
to show yourself off as proud and fearless edi-
tor of leading Democratic organ Be ''umble," :"
editor Bolts, be " umble," like Uriah Heep.-
Even if your natural tones are those of the noble
mastif, modulate them, modulate them, brother
Bolts, until you can initiate the little whiffets
that are now so industriously barking and snap
ping at your spur protected heels

quasi-Methodist preacher, and most successful
co-worker of His Satanic Majesty on earth, has
been stopping at the Virginia Springs during
the summer, with q view to the recovery of his
voice, which he broke down in uttering ISLANDERS
against the Democracy and in bringing contempt
upon things sacred. Notwithstanding his vile
ness, however, he frequently gets off q good
thing Thus: In one of his letters, he says he
intends to keep on talking and writing against
the Democracy as long as he can use his tongue
or WELD pen, and when he can do neither, he
will wag his finger.
In subsequent letter he gives one most
vivid picture of an admirable appetite Speak

Davis, Opposition candidate for Congress in
Baltimore, and the Opposition generally in the
South, have signifed willingness to unite with
the Black Republicans in organizing the next
House of Representatives They say, give the
Republicans the Speaker in exchange for the
Clerk. And yet these same hypocrites are con-
tinually denouncing every leading Democrat of
the North as sympathising with the Black Re-
publicans-as having Abolition proclivites !
