INSANE ASYLUM AT MARYsvILLE-The Ma

Yuba county legislative delegation to the
great necessity Of establishing State Luna

1t has become necessary to enlarge the Stock.
ton Asylum in order to accommodate the in
creased number of lunatics, and the Demo-
crat argues that as this enlargement will cost
the State as much as it would to build a new
Asylum at Marysville, it is better to estab-
ish the latter, thereby saving to the north.
ern counties great expense and trouble The
suggestion of the Democrat is a good one,
and its reasons forcble. California is the
largest State but one in the Union, and com
munication from the extreme points to the
centre somewhat difficult and slow; for this
reason it is more necessary than in other
States that such an institution as an Insane
Asylum should be earfully located with a
view to ready accessibility, and even to Asy-
lums built at different points, if that will bet
ter accomplish the desired convenience. Tn
fortunately, either section of California is
likely to furnish lunatcs enough to fill q
large building, but probably the extensive
mining region of the north will furnish the
greatest number Marysvills being nearer
and more accessible to this region than Stock.

delegation will bring the subject before the
Legislature. San Juan Press, Saturday.

From FRASER RIvER-John IIeldam and
Joseph Southern arrived here a few days
since from Fraser river, fifty miles above its
junction with Thompson river.
They give gloomy and discouragng state
Of things in that part of the country. Cold,
snow, impossible mountains, and waut of
supplies, render it in every way most in
hospitable region. For many weeks large
number of people lived on beans alone
Miners were making from three to six dol
lars day by the most severe and disagreea-
bic labor. Supplies were worth from dol
lar to dollar and halfper pound.
Messrs Halden and Southern suffered great
hardships in making their way out of the
country, as well as those in company with
them They were all more or less frozen,
and one of the number died from the effect:
of the cold. The early gold miners of Cali
fornia know nothing of the privations and
sutferings that have been endured by adven-
turers to Fraser river.

Homestead Law.

The Homestead Law is, in our opinion,
one of the wiscst enactments that ever
adorned the history of legislation 1t pro-
tects the family of the hard working honest,
industrious citizen from want and misery,
those curses which will frequently overtake
the very best of men and the very best of
families, in spite of all their honesty and all
their industry. 1t gives the happiness of the
domestic hearth security that hens it
around with a wall of adamant. However
unfortunate the father of the family may be,
however ruinously overtaken by those mis-
fortunes which paralyse the bravest and the
best, his wife and his children have home
and can live in quietude and in comfort
Take away from them that protection and
they are turned out naked and friendless into
the world.
We perceive that some of our overly wise
cotemporares are advocating the repeal of
this law We protest against i. There is
not another enactment upon the Statute Book
equal to it in the benefcence AMI wisdom of

ages the marriage relation, the hoppiest and
best relation of civilized society and the most
necessary for the common good of the human
race 1t encourages industry and persever-
ance in all the working grades of life, be
cause it ensures to every man a sure compe-
tence for the support of his family, and thus
induces men to enter into the married state
who would not otherwise ventureit, until they
were already provided with an ample fortune.
Under the protection of this Homestead Law,
the young husband and wife can mutually
aid each other in building up for themselves
and their children comfortable and happy
home, secure from all the storms and buffet
ings of fate.
Others again, who are not in favor of re-
pealing the law, advocate the extension of
its benefits to unmarried men. Now, we are
not in favor of any such extension The orig
inal object of the enactment, and for which
alone there is a sufficient reason, was the
protection of the happiness and comfort of
the married life. Women and children are
innocent sufferers in cases of misfortune on
the part of the head of the family, but a
single man ought at all times, if he have
health, to be able to take care of himself

RATHER MYsTERIoUs.-The attention OF
officer Keyser, about two o'clock, yesterday
afternoon, was called to the fact that a
strange man had entered the apartments of a
laundress. in the upper story of Carpenter :
building unbidden, and that it was desirable
that he should be removed. The officer as
cended to the room and found the man sitting
by the stove in a state of oblivion, from the
effects of drugs or liquor-either or both
with nothing on but his pants, a shirt and a
pair of cotton socks Officer Keyser remov-
ed him to the Station House, taking off his
coat and covering him Herewith in transitu.
The man remained at the Station House till
evening, and gave his name as Lawrence
Blair, or Blair Lawrie, and was in such an
abandoned condition that he offered to pawn
a heavy gold finger ring for something to
drink. lie stated that he had slept last Mt
several respectable houses in town, but as his
statements in this respect are contradictory
as might be expected ander the circumstan-
ces, and we are assured are untrue, it may
be concluded that he has fallen into bad com
panv and been robbed of whatever valuables
he possessed Among articles which he has lost
are enumerated talma, good coat, set OF
studs, pair of sleeve buttons, hat and pair
of shoes. The facts of the ease will probably
be fully developed ere long. He was removed

WALKUP VS. STRATroN.-The election of
Stratton to the SpeakSrship, in one sense is a
triumph over Walkup. The office of Speak.
er is estimated a rung higher on the political
ladder than Lieut.. Governor-the former
being able to stand on the fingers of the lat
ter-and we consider the favorite nag of
Placer is finally passed on the race for honor
and distinction. But then, there is draw
back to our position. Strattons election was
consummated by the favor or neutrality of
the Lieut. Governors and besides this, he is
likely, very likely, to be our next GovernCr /!
We Weld submission to the fatcs, humbly
asking strength and patience to endure our
political Affections.
p. S.-Since writing the above we have
read an article in the Sacramento Register,
headed ''rhe Speakership," from which We
extract the following paragraph:
This defeat of Mr. Moore had an uterior
object 1t was designed to secure Senatorial
influences Stratton was a Placer represen-
tative; his elevation to the Speakershir
would increase his influence in that county
and to the same extent decrease the influ
ence of Walkup, Weller's friend This wa:
motive enough for the federal office holder, tc
Justify the sacrifice of friend"
BY this we understand that Mr.. Strattor
has an inkling of an understanding by which
he, next year, as State Senator can return the
compliments and favors of the Washington
family. This family are laying their pipe fol
a sally against Weler's U. S Senatorial aspi
rations; and to secure Placer, which unde
the Wakup dynasty is sure for Weller,
larger Lecompton Democrat must be manu-
featured, who will lay over the Lieut. Gov
ernor. But this is a family affair." and pri

The War on Douglas.

Bv reference to a dispatch to the New
York Times. and another one to the Tribune,
published in another column it will be seen
that the second war has been commenced
against Senator Douglas in the Senate of the
United States. After having taken the fore
front of the battle for the constitutional
rights of the South as Chairman of the Com
mttee on Territories in 1854, and exposed
himself to the bitterest opposition in his own
section of the country that was ever arrayed
against any public man, Southern leaders
now turn against him, because he would not
sacrifice for their interests, or the interests
rather, of their section, not only his politi
cal prospects, but his very principles them
selves. Douglas did all for them that an
honest man could do Further than that he
would not go, and his hundreds of thousands
of friends will stand by him in his refusal to
do so.
At the dctation of President Buchanan
/ his name is stricken from the roll as Chair
man of the Committee on Territories. This

principles, is to be prescribed, Systematically
and continuously, because he has refused to
obey the dctation of men who desired him
to trample his own doctrine of the Kansas
Nebraska Bill under foot, in order to please,
not the great Democrat heart of the country,
but lot of selfish ultraists at the South, who
think that right or wrong, the Democratic
party must bend to their will.
We are proud to see that there are South
ern men who have the manliness to frown
upon such n course of reckless and unprinci-
pied prescription Senator Brown, of Mis-
sssippi, refused to recognize the justice Of
Douglass removal. So, also, did Toombs, of
Georgia; and Senator Hammond, of South
Carolina, refused to go into the prescribing

ever, 10y a vote of II to Z.
All this, it is acknowledged, was done at
the instigation of the President. Let him
and his myrmidons do their utmost. Douglas

will ride rough-shod over their necks, yet

We refer our readers to a decison of the
Supreme Court, in another column, refusing
to sustain the injunction restraining the issu
ance Of the San Francisco and Marysville
Railroad Bonds by the Board of Supervisors
of Yuba county. This settles the question
as to the validity of those bonds, and there
will be no further trouble. Other counties
interested in this road. may now follow the
example of Yuba county. by permission o
the Legislature, and subscribe stock to th'
San Francisco and Marysville Railroad. Th'

pied, yesterday, with the trial Of Judge Bar
bour for ar assault upon 0. P. Stidger in
1854, with intent to kill. Several witnesses
were examined, who testified that Stidger
had published an article in the Marysville
Herald, rejecting on the character of Judge
Barbour in his official capacity, and that
Barbour had afterwards struck him and at
the same time drew a knife on him, man
named Plummer Thurston having at very
nearly the same time struck at or struck Mr.
Stidger. Col. Hatch, the District Attorney,

defence. To day, Judge Bryan will make an
argument for the defence, and Col. Hatch

Therefore, persons who intend singing for
the qualification and appreciation of their
hearers should adapt their music to their
hearers capacity for understanding it, and
by not doing this Madame Magnon is pre-
vented from getting all the praise which is
justly due her, Situated as the people of
Troy are, far from any place where ope-
ratio entertainments are held, it cannot of
course be expected that they enjoy any
singing which is almost exclusively ope-
ratio, for my slight experienced in such en-
tertainments teaches me that taste for
them must be cultivated, and that a per-
son rarely is pleased at the first hearing, as
there is something about operate singing,
to the uninitiated, that has hardly any
pleasant sound or tone, it seeming to them
to be nothing more than a succession of
high and low notes, interspersed with some
odd and inimitable sounds. Therefore,
Madame Magnan will see at once the pro-
priety of changing her programme should
she ever honor us with her presence again,
for those who both admired and appreciat-
ed her singing on Tuesday night were too
few to control the general opinion of her
audience, who expressed themselves as be-
ing unable to understand what she sung
