MEDICAL ExAMINERs.-Mr. Thomas,
Of Staaislaus has introduced a bill into
the Assembly for an act to create Estate

country like this, where about the only
knowledge the people have of physi-
clan is through flaming advertisements

some sort of check upon quacks seems

Friday Morning, February IL, 1859

The CnINEsE.-T The Miners about
Shasta, as well as in other localities Of
the State, are red hot for the expulsion
of the Chinese from the mines, and
probably acting in accordance with the
sentiments of his constituency, Mr..
/ Street has introduced a bill into the
Assembly for the purpose of driving the
Celestials out.
Now, however desirable it may be 10
the miners of Shasta to get rid of the
presence of the Chinese, it cannot be
more gracious to those miners than to
! the residents and property-holders Of
every city and town in the State infcst
ed with these Asiatics. They are de-
cide1ly an eye sore and pollution to any
.ity. Their utter want Of care in tie
use offre is enough to Danish them from
any town in climate so hot and Try as
this. Besides their quarters send forth
the most disgusting smells, tanning the
hir beyond the endurance of Caue'sians.
As writer in Blackwood expresses 1t,
Chinese quarters "stink aloud" How
ever cleanly in person majority OF the
Chinamen are supposed to be, theirh0mes
| if that sacred name can be degraded TO
hmean the abode of a Chinaman, are sur
rounded with all the stenches that ami
NAL or vegetable decomposition can
produce. In this particular China
mans offence is rank, smelling a long
distance.
h But offensive as the Asiatics are it is
\ houbtful if we can rid ourselves Of their
1Fpresence. 1t tseems by recent decis-
ion OF the Supreme Court that we can
l'not prevent their coming. They have
right to immigraie to California We
are told. fso, they have the right to
jlabor and live among us it would seem.
ESuppose they are prohibited from labor
hing in the mines-can they not with
! equal propriety be dris en- from cities and
sltowns the property Of whose citizens
they endapger2 And following up the
4 analogy may they not be expelled from
the agricultural lands of the State,
\ and finally from every branch of indus
tryl
If the Chinese have the right to
come among us they cannot be debar-
red from honest avocations. 1ou can't
by any police regulations cleanse the
haunts of the Chinese. A Chinaman
is not in his normal condition in Il pure
atmosphere. He seems TO delight IN d
combination of stin.s as a IoYe-sck
swain in the aroma Of garden of flow
ers. While such is the taste of these
almond-eyed strangers their presence
must be a nuisance which we must
grin and bear" till such time as there
is some power somewhere to prevent
their immigration.

The convicts set to manufacturing "blan

1t only took three of the highest off

three hundred state prison convicts and
that to be devoted to the manufacture

is strikingly evident that the au-
thors Of This report were i'll at ease on
this branch of their subject, and, like the
cutie fish. seek to lide their short
comings by shedding vast quantity of
inky fluid on the subject of modern be-
nevolence. The mechanic arts, school
teaching and home missions, from all
which we derive but one conclusion
to-wit; that it is of doubtful, not to say
mischeivous policy, to place the Cover
nor of the State who alone has the par
doning power. in too close proximity
with those who are SO deeply interested
in imploring its exercise. In fact Gov.
WeIler's bowels of compass-ol ap-
pear to be troubled with a looseness in
this respect, and such is the fondness
that the poor devils have contracted for
him, that almost every one that he has
parloned has sought the first occasion
to commit some crime that would again
consign them to his fatherly care and
keeping,
The directors say, that at the first
meeting of the Board, they passed a res
olution that none but Director could
hold the office of chief warden, and that
he hould serve without compensation
Now, however, after passing a glowing
eulogy on Gov, Walkup, they say that
SIS per month is inadequate to the
great services he has performed and
commend his case to the tender consid-
GRAFTON of the Legislature Why this !
The law gives the directors power to
appoint warden and to pay him. If
the SO per month that Gov. Walkup
receives rs director is not sufficient, or
if he is tired of Ii ing on buncomhe, why
not rescind that buncOmb res luton, and
pay him what his services are worth and
not trouble the Legislature about it!
1t appears that there has been an in
crease of about forty-fye prisoners with

THAT North STAR ORDER.-The
Nevada National says Senator Lansing
denies having been a member of the
North Star" When was the denial
made Bro. Shoemaker? He said he did
not belong to the "Lone STAR" if the re-
ports Of the Union tie correct, but, far
from denying that he was North STAR
he once acknowledged to gentlemen of
Grass Valley that he was member of
that order But that the editor of the
National may not rel y upon the word of
Mr.. Lansing, we assert positively he
need not go out of his own printing office
TO obtain all the proof he needs to estab-
lish the fact. When our "good natur-
ed'' confrcre has taken slight pains to
ascertain the truth in regard to the for
mer associations of Senator Lansing he
will not call for affidavits that he will
know are obtainable. When the deni-
al comes from the proper source it will
be time enough to pull forth the certifi-
Gates to vindicate the truth of history.
