THE HEspERIAN.-This refined Jour-
nal has completed its first volume, and
will appear after the first of March in
the form of an elegantly embellished
monthly magazine, containing forty-eight
pages. The subscription price will re-
main the same-only 81 per annum.
In its new form it will no doubt be as
worthy as ever of the support of taste
full readers. It is very creditable
thing to our State that it supports such
work as the Hesperian, and families
who read it and send it to their eastern
friends do more to elevate the reputation
of their adopted homes than they could
by almost any other means.

Observation-Disclosures Holden dis
tinguished himself this week by giving
notice of resolution asking Broderick
to resign his seat in the U. S. Senate.
David will resign-of course. He
worked hard for the position through
many years, merely that he might have
the honor to surrender it at the very
first summons. Pass the resolution, by
all means.
Theintroduction of a concurrent res
'olution, instructing the Attorney-Gen-
eral to interfere in behalf of the State
In the New Almaden case, led to con-
siderable discussion, in which Mr.. Bur-
ton of this county took part, opposing
the assertions of the States right to the
mineral lands. The resolution was in
definitely postponed by large majority.
In the Assembly, the absorbing topic all
the week has been the contested election

Duncombe. tits sought to GUST Mr..
Duncombe on the alleged ground that
he forfeited his citizenship, good life
time ago, by taking official oaths in
Canada. He has resided in the United
States, of which he is native, some
twenty-one years since leaving Canada
and has a number of times taken the
oath to support the Federal Constitution
and that of the State in which he lived
yet it is sought now to prove him a for

OBLIGING.-On the occasion of the
arrival of the Atlantic mail at Nevada,
on Saturday evening, it has been the
custom of Postmaster Crenshaw to for
ward the letters for San Juan by Sun
days stage; for which courtesy he has
the thanks of our citizens.
Last Sunday morning, when the mail
by the Golden Gate was expected, an
anxious crowd gathered at the post-office
from far and near; but no mail came.
Mr.. Wilson, the driver of the stage,
stated that the Agent would not allow
him to bring the mail, alleging that the
contract did not require the mail should
be carried on Sunday. 1t has certainly
taken long time to discover this fact,
and we can see no adequate motive for
taking advantage Of it to the inconven-
fence of whole community.

SEBAsToPoL TAKEN.-The pretty
little village of Sebastopol, situated
something over a mile below this place,
was rapidly built up in 1855 by "a number
of enthusiastic gentlemen who thought
they were founding city. The diggings
were new, and afforded indications of
great richness and extent; the location
was pleasant dale on the great thorough
fare to NIarysville; several families
settled there, building pretty cottages;
hotels, shops, saloons, and a saw-mill
were started ; and everybody thought
the town on the road to prosperity. For
while the embryo metropolis lacked a
name, but some patriotic Englishmen
found one when the Crimean city was
besieged by the allies, and our ambitious
neighbor was duly christened Sebastopol
Unfortunately, the diggings, although
somesef them are inferior to no others in
the county, failed to attract and support
"a large population, especially after the
introduction of water into San Juan
Since that time Sebastopol has been
gradually decaying, until now a mere
handful constitutes It's population and
its houses stand desolate, except such as
are being moved up to this more lucky
town, or are still tenanted by the owners
of good claims
One gentleman is making garden
and fruit orchard there, and has already
growing the largest number of peach
trees in this vicinity. His example will
be followed by others, and Sebastopol,
if it has failed to be city, will yet be
a collection of beautiful homes oasis
in the wilderness.

smile copies of all kinds of writings
and drawings can be transmitted from
one telegraph station to another, in
much less time than the present form of
dispatches. It reproduces faithfully
the writings and drawings in any shape
in blue, red and yellow colors on a
white paper. Ten dispatches can be
conveyed at the same time, and the size
Of the despatch which can be transmit
ted is limited only by the size of the IL
strument. Entire letters can be for
warded over the wires in this way, and
appear copied at their destination with
the authentic autograph of the writer.
The most important secrets may be in
violably conveyed by the adoption of con-
ventional characters.
If all this be true, the invention is
really the most wonderful of all the
many wonders which have illustrated
the present century; and its value can
be but family estimated.

FUNNY.-The Sacramento Union in
forms the country that "the Legislature
are now warm in their seats, and cir
culation established through all the
veins and arteries of the deliberative
system" This statement is no doubt
fundamentally correct. The delibera-
tive systems of Legislators being warmed
up, we may now expect they will hatch
something for the benefit of the State.
Yet we would advise them to keep
their heads cool.

REVENUE D1srR1crs.-There was

LUZ G4N e OxOxhxOx0s ASAO GO
an allusion in our last issue to the new
Revenue Bill of Senator kirkpatrick,
and particularly to that feature of it
which provides for the division of the
counties into revenue districts, coexten-
siye with the townships now or hereaf-
ter to be established. We character
ised this as good idea, and think so
yet. There is no doubt whatever that
it would largely facilitate the collection
of taxes. The poll tax especially could
be, by this method, almost universally
obtained; whereas now not much more
than one-eighth of it is collected. Gov.
Weller, in his late message, calls the at
tention of the Legislature to this fact,
and says that while we have a voting
population of one hundred and twenty
thousand, only $751; were received
from this source last year and in nearly
one-third of the counties no poll tax
was collected.
Make the townships revenue districts,
as Mr.. kirkpatrick proposes, and this
important tax could not be evaded as it
now is. The same may likewise be said
in regard to the license and foreign mi
ners tax.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick does not propose this
system without experience. AT the last
session Of the Legislature a special act
was passed authorising the assessment
and collection of taxes in Sierra county
on the same principle now sought to be
made part of the general law. We
are told that it has worked admirably /;
that more than double the amount of
taxes of all kinds has been collected !;
and that thereceipts from foreign miners
tax have increased eight fold.
But while admitting the great advan-
tages of the new mode of collection, we
do not think there is any necessity to
create another set of Office holders. It
would be more simple and economical, to
extend the term of the township officers
ito two years, and make the Justice and
Misunderstanding the highest number
of votes in each township .ex-oficio as
SCISSOR and collector for that district. We
are satisfied this would be found to work
better than the creation of distinct set
of revenue officers; while it would make
the position of township officers more
worthy the acceptance of competent
men. The township officers need some
such assistance as this would be to them,
and would gladly act as collectors of the
revenue, for the lowest percentage that
is now paid te,the officials ofany county
for the same services.

H1~The abduction of the Mortara boy

RN~The abduction of the Mortara boy
by Popish force, and the refusal of the
head of the Romish church to restore
him to his parents, is an internal piece
of religious despotism but what is the
use of making fuss about it in Amer
lea? 1t is natural for our Hebrew
friends to feel indignant, but what good
will it do for them to call meetings and
pass resolutions all over the United
States? That is little like Ajax de-
flying the lightning,-a piece of bravado
on his part which has furnished modeTn5
with saying, but did not at the time
particularly affect the electric fluid.
Let us be content to execrate tyranny
of whatever kind in hearty private
way, and be thankful that we live in a
republican country which is not married
to any church.
