slide occurred at Monte Crsto, Sierra Coun-
ty, that buried several houses, killed four
persons-a woman and three children. A

town. One half of tie houses of the village
have been deserted, and miners fear to enter
their tunnels to work, from the danger OF
being buried.

Illiheral.

The Republicans of the Massachusetts
Legislature do not like foreign-born citizens
Recently they adopted an amendment to tbs
State Constitution requiring two years res
idence in that State after naturalization, be-
fore voting! Every Democrat in the Legis
ature voted against the unjust amendment
every Republican voted for it. Under the
law of Cangress, foreigner is admitted to
citizenship after five years residence. Thus
it seems the Republicans of Massachusetts
believe man of foreign birth, even though
he be citizen of the United States, is not
worthy to exercise the right Of voting in
that commonwealth, until two years after
he has become such citizen of the United
States A very large majority of the Ger
man born voters of Massachusetts have
heretofore acted with the Republican party.
No wonder they have determined, in mass
meetings assembled, to withdraw from that
organization, and hereafter support the only
party that has extended hearty welcome to
the foreign born citizen. Shasta Courier.

River Mining.

We learn that the miners upon the Mid
die Fork of the American are making prep
arations for extensive river huming this
Summer. From Poverty to Kennebec bars,
a distance of ten or twelve miles, as much as
five miles of huming will be putin Ken
nebec, Poverty, Oregon, and other bars, on
the Placer side, will have a large population
of miners through the summer. The same
will be true of the noted Maine Bar on the
Ell Dorado side At Kennebec, last season,
some of the claims paid largely. Two leads
were then found one of which was traced
to the banks, and has been successfully
worked through the winter.
We doubt if there is a mining stream in
California that has contributed moro to the
cold harvest since the first discovery here
than the Middle Fork; and from the spirit
with which miners are about to commence
their operations upon it again this season,
we have the welcome assurance, there is
plenty more to be taken out.

AccIDENT.-The Iowa Hill Patriot says,
on Saturday last, while Mr.. Saul was at
work in the Jamison claim, in this place, he
had occasion to cross deep cut in the Dig
gngs, and while in the act of crossing the
plank placed across the cut gave way, pre-
cipitating him to the bottom about fifteen
feet. In bis fall he struck his head against
the point of rock, tearing out portion of
the left eye, cutting large piece of the scalp
and in reaching the bottom, breaking his
left arm. DR.. Sheridan was in immediate at
tendance and rendered such assistance as
was necessary. He is considered cut of

ANOTHER RooRBACK ExPLoDED.-A short
time since the Republican papers were teem
ing with the accounts of another Border
Ruffian outrage-the unlawful hanging, by
the people of Western Missouri, of DR..
boy and son of Kansas, charged with run
ming away slaves from their masters. The
accounts of the hanging were quite circum-
stantial and showed, if true, the perpetra-
ton of damning crime. But mark the Sc
quel: DR.. boy and son, $50 says the news
brought by the last overland maiD have
been tried at St. Joseph, Missouri. In the
case of young boy noNe prosequi was en-
tered, and DR.. boy was released upon bail
The Repubs. will be apt to feel bad upon
hearing this, but then they can rest in the
assurance that it was no fault of theirs the
Dogs were not hung.

THE CASH SYSTEM AMONG NEWSPAPERS
The Southern journals are very generally
adopting the cash system in their operations,
as matter of selfdetence and preservation.
They say they are continually receiving no.
tices from postmasters to stop the papers of
delinquent subscribers, who have departed
for unknown sections, leaving the editors
minus in sums varying from three to fifteen
dollars. 1t will not be long before the cash
system will be the universal rule among
newspapers. ~. Z. Herald.
We hope so! The sooner the better.

THE FIRST CRoP-We continue to receive
glowing accounts of the prospects for a
heavy fruit crop in the mountain districts.
The trees are filled with young fruit, that
has made an astonishing growth within ten
days. The valley fruit may be partial fail
ure. but the mountains will more than make
up the deficiency.

STATE PRIsoN REPoRT.-ln another COL
nmn will be found the Senate Comm ittee's
report upon 1t. Gov. WaIkup's administra-
ton of the State Prison. The limited time
Of the Committee prevented an extended
examination of State Prison affairs, which
they will now enter upon, being authorized
so to do by Senate resolution passed previous
to the adjournment. The report efectualy
disproves the charge of the Assembly Com
mittee that Mr.. Walkup as Warden, was
guilty Of malfeasance in office.
This much discussed subject is now beir g
opened up and when we have the final re-
port of the Senate Committee, which will
probably be within two weeks, the public
will be able to form an intelligent opinion
respecting State Prison affairs; until then we
are content to wait, sanguine in the belief
that Mr.. Walkup will be triumphantly ex-
onerated from the aspersions cast upon him.
INFORMATION WANTED.-The State Con-
yention of Broderickites is to meet on the
18th of June, and seems to have been called
without reference to any action the Repubii-
cans may take. We wish to know if the
Republican party is to be given the cold
shoulder this year by the Brods, who feel
able to do without their assistance-or was
the fusion so far perfected between the clans
last season, that the identity of the Republi
can party is merged and lost in Broderick-
ism, and are hereafter to make fight under
the banner of David? Who can answer?
FROM CARSON VALLEY.-Late news from
Carson Valley says the miners at Gold Can
on are making from S. to IS per day, and
at Johntown from SIS to $50 per day.
The mining news from Walkers river is EN-
couraging.

custom in the lower branch of the Legisla

adjournment, to indulge in humorous reso-
lutions, speeches, etc. On Tuesday last
many amusing squibs were gotten off and

Judge RanneY.

Some Of the Republican newspapers claim
to have discovered that Judge Ranney once
held the same principles that they are now
battling for. Il is amusing to see how hor-
ror struck they are at the idea. They de-
clare that such doctrines # carried out, will
inevitably lead to contempt of the Constitu-
tiou and disunion and yet the opinions
which they charge him with holding, are
identical with the present Republican plat
form in Ohio The Columbus journal in an
article on the subject, says;
Shall the national government be reform
ed by the legitimate and peaceful weapon Of
the ballot box, aud by the impartial deci-
sions Of an independent Judiciary; or shall
rebellion run riot and preoipitate an in
tesiine conflict between the national and
State authorlties and our glorious republic
be blasted with civil war;
This is the very language the Democratic
party have been using towards them, ever
since the old Whig party was disbanded,
and too for promulgating the very same doc
trines which they absurdly declare our nom
inee for Governor adkeres to. The scales
