Constitutional Convention.

The bill submitting the question of calling
Convention to frame new Constitution
has passed both Houses of the Legislature,
been approved by the Governor, and is now
matter Of general congratulation among
men who understand the full Importance Of
simplifying the crude organic law the State
has labored more than prospered under since
California became of the Union. On the
event we beg to congratulate the voters OF
Placer county, who for years, in an over.
whelming majority, have favored the meas
ure, and stand recorded by their vote 1857,
as more generally committed to its favor
than the people of any other community in
the State. At the present time there is
more unanimity in favor of the measure than
then, and if we are not very much deceived in
appearances the vote at the coming election
will decide very largely for a Convention.
This year the question will not be shirked by
political parties as in 1957-the question has
risen to too much Importance to be given
the go-by-conventions will be obliged to
give it notice.
The ball should be set in motion at pr-
mary meetings, and never stopped until in
dorsed by conventions and at the ballot box.
The Democratic party has an important duty
to perform in the premses-it is the dom-
nant and reliable party of the State; the one
upon whom rests the responsible legislation,
and the shaping of the destinies of Calfor-
mat should take upon itself the care Of
this measure; for with it's Endorsement and
support the Convention will become fixed
fact.
What course the tangled web of opposi
ton in the State may see fit to pursue to-
ward the measure we are not apprised, (ur-
ther than to know that many individuals are
heartily in favor); indeed we are Indifferent
to the action and opinions of organizations
that at every step of their existence have
only further earned the title of impractical
bles. The measure is safe enough in the
hands of the Democracy-n their keeping
it will be success.

That VOLCANO IN SHAsrA.-The Shasta
papers are having "bit of fun about DIR.
Wozencraft's Volcano. The Republican says:
Some of our frieads below insist that we
have volcano lis Shasta county, and name
it Wozencraft's Volcano. If they persist
that the volcano is really here, although
none Of our citizens have been able to find
it since the FIRST settlement of the county.
We hope they will not insist upon the name
by which they have ehristened it A gentle.
msn now living here-and we are compell-
cd to regard him as something of wae-
says that the burning mountain really has an
existence, and that it was formerly called
Jones Volcano, and has been frequently
called the Steana6oet Volcano. We incline
to favor the latter name for the great physi-
cal wonder, situated in Secluded portion
OF our county, and which has been subjected
to distant" inspection by the inag native.

Adjournment of the legislature.

The Legislature will adjourn upon Monday
that is if they follow out the resolution as
already passed. We hope they will stick to
the original resolution, and return to their
constituencies at the time specified. Not
because the work of the session is completed
for much necessary wo.k is yet unperfec-
ted-but for the reason that it would be a
waste of time to remain there longer. Good
members are evidently becoming tired out,
and the worthless ones, (not small number
by any means) are incapable of good legis
lation, and the sooner they are put out of
the Capitol the better. This session the
Senate has had more than its usual number
Of good men-more, we think, than at any
previous session. We wish we could say as
much for the House-but candor compels us
to say, after watching the whole course of
its proceedings, that it has been lamentably
lame and deficient. The few good men there
have had but little encouragement to do
well-being constantly hampered by the in
experience, ignorance and prejudice of the
remainder
There is much that should yet be done,
but there is no present hope of its accom-
plishment. Therefore we say adjourn, that
the capitol may be freed from many an un-
desirable presence; and we charge it as a
duty upon every praying man to implore
that no more such Legislators will ever find
their way into the State councils.

Now is the time to Settle.

With the present number the yearly sub
scriptions of large number of our subscr-
bers terminate. AS we know Of no better
time to square printing accounts than at the
close Of the subscription year, we call upon
all those knowing themselves indebted TO
respond promptly to this invitation. We
return thanks to our patrons for their gener-
al punctuality, and hope we shall always
continue to have just such men upon our lists.
We have few subscribers, however-fortun-
atey very few-who are very slow coaches,
and who seem to think that pay day is way
off in the "good time coming" This does
not suit us. Printing newspaper for glory
may be pleasant in some respects, but print
ing for pay is better. This is admonitory, so
come up and settle; otherwise some folks
will soon have to read the Herald at their
neighbors expense instead of ours.

ANOTHER FLooD.-On Friday night, the

severely by the previous flood, and upon
which repairs were favorably progressing,

Other casualties occurred, but we are not
