late State Senator from this county, was

length is about two feet. Mr. Selleck offers
the portrait, with its handsome frame, for

The very virtuous and truthful individual
who is at present controlling the destlnieS oi
mankind through the columns of the Marys-
Vile Express 'takes on" fearfnlly at our per
sistency in stating facts about Col Iompkins
and the Folsom Railroad He tears his hair
and rends his clothes, and in his blind rage
wanders out upon sea of uncertainty to
6r5 If no can. some wretch who has dared
to assault the private character, or impeach
the integrity of his candidate for Mayor. He
defends where the is no attack In his de
rium, he fancies himself standing over the
slaughtered corse of Tompkins, and plays
Mark Antony to our Brutus. He holds up
the mantle of the illustrous dead, and ex-
claims: Through this the well beloved
Brutus stabbed lie would fain devour
the Tompkins-opposing world He is very
Don Quixotc, and if he has a Sancho Panza
we pray that latter person to bleed, purge
and diet this errant Knight No good will
come of this pother-we. shall have blood,
letting in good earnest, and many among us
may be slain, if this chivalric defender Of pri.
vate character does not have his digestion
regulated.
The fact that we called Col. Tompkins a
Folsom Railroad man, and argued that the
building of the other road was much more
desirable, and would be more advantageous
to the. city, is no reason for all this out
cry. Does the crusher of worlds who scrib.
bles for the Express think it a crime to be a
Folsom Railroad man? We do not 1t is a
question of policy, and not of morality-this
railroad matter. Col. Tompkins may really
think that the Folsom road will be more ad-
yantageous to Marysyille, than would the
other route. lie has an undoubted right to
his opinion. We cannot be prevented from
differing with him, simply because he is
running for office, for if it were otherwise,
we should be almost all tile time of Col.
Tompkins' opinion on everything
Any assertions to the effect that We have
assailed Col Tompkins' private character, or
questioned his integrity, or charged him with
anything which we thought would do him
injustice, come from what source they may,
are stupidity false, and grotesquely absurd.
We sincerely hope that if such assertions are
made hereafter we may be able to attribute
them either to drunkenness or insanity, rnth-

and malieiously distort courteous and proper
language

dered Thus has passed away from our

The Mourn VERNON PuRcuAsE-The st.
Louis correspondent of the Bulletin says that
the Legislature of Missouri has appropriated,
by resolution, two thousand dollars to the
purchase of Mount Vernon-the amount,
doubtless, to be remitted to the Lady Presi,
dent of the Association. This is the first in
stance in which the aid of a State Legislature
has been extended to the ladies who are so
nobly eXerting themselves to rescue the home
and tomb Of the Father Of his country from
threatening desecration; and the precedent,
now that it is established, will be followed,
doubtless, in the capitals of other States-
What is the California Legislature doing in
this matter If each one should follow the
example of Missouri and appropriate an
equal amount, the sum thus acquired will be
sufficient to pey off what is still outstanding
on the price asked by the present occupant
of Mount Vernon.

the San Francisco and Marysville Railroad,
but is Director and large stockholder in the
Folsom road. His own party Convention say,
by resolution, that our road is the most feast

REDUCTION OF SALARIES IN THE CITY.-The
taxpayers of the city will be pleased to learn
that the Council, in codifying the City Ordi-
nances, have reduced very materially the ex-
penditures of the city. Amendments were
adopted on Thursday evening in the Council
meeting, reducing the salary of the City
Clerk from $4,000 to $4,000; City Attorney
from 81 900 to $500; City Surveyor from $40
per day to IS per day. and limiting the pay
of the City Printer to 81 800 per annum.-
We were pleased with this action of the
Board, because the reople expect their officers
to save their money when they can. A few
men have sometimes controlled these matters
and prevented beneficial changes in city ex-
penses The fact that the Board of twelve
Aldermen has but four Administration men
upon it inclines us to the belief that the PeO-
pies Anti-Lecompton Democratic party is
responsible for the reform above set forth.

Readings from Shnksnere.

The intellectual gentleman who "toots'
upon the Bugle is evidently not what he
has been. Gifted by nature with superior
powers, and with the advantages of bril-
liant education to assist him, what might he
not have accomplished if he had not fallen
into the slough of Lecomptonism. We can
not but compare him to "the lord Hamlet
and say of him as the fair Ophelia said of
that melancholy prince,
30, what noble mind is here oerthrown,
The courtier's, soldiers, scholars eye, tongue,
sword;
The expectancy and rose of the fair state,
The glass of fashion, and the mould of form,
The observed of all observers quite, quite down.
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason,
Like sweet bells, tangled out of tune and harsh !;
Thatunmatched form and feature of blown youth,
Blasted with ecstacy."
His lat ors to attribute malice to our '1e-
gitimate pleasantly" concerning the elderly
gentleman who would fain be Mayor, upon
the Lecompton ticket, are the exact counter
part to Hamlets speech to Polonius, where
in one of his fits of alteration, he attack
the author Of book which he has beer
reading The old courter asks him what h.
is reading, and Hamlet thus replies:
Islander, sir; for the satirical rogue say
here, that old men have grey beurds; tina
their faces are wrinkled; their eyes purgin.
thick amber and plum tree gum; and tha
they have a plentiful lack of wit, togethe
with most weak hams: all of which, sir
though most powerfully and potently be
lieve, yet hold it not honesty to have i
thus set down."
We wish it distinctly understood that tn
simie extends not beyond Hamlet. W.
/ know of no Polonius in this rerion.
