Young's Road Bill.

Young's Road Bill.
The Union publishes the bill concern
ing roads and highways in Nevada coun-
ty, which was Introduced into the As
sembly by Mr.. Young sometime ago,
and has since become law. 1t en-
tirely changes the present system of
collecting and disbursing the funds
raised for road purposes; makes each
township single road district, with a
resident collector; fixes the road tax at
a sum not to exceed two dollars and a
half for every able bodied man, between
the ages of twenty-one and fifty years
authorises the Board of Supervisors to
levy property tax for road purposes
not exceeding five cents on each one
hundred dollars; requires the prop
erty road tax to be collected by the
Sheriff, and to be paid to the Treasurer,
and that the township, or district col
lectors shall also settle with that office
quarterl y; makes it the duty of the
Auditor to issue signed road tax receipts,
as needed, which must be accounted for
regularly to him, as licenses are now
provides that no money can be drawn
for road purposes except upon an order
from the Board of Supervisors, and out
Of the township fund specified in such
order; prescribes the mode by which
work shall be done on county roads and
bridges, namely: in accordance with
petition of citizens, and by contract,
after advertising for lowest proposals,
except in cases where only slight repairs,
whose cost will not exceed one hundred
dollars, are needed, when upon petition
of not less than ten property holders
any one of the Supervisors may appoint
an overseer to conduct such repairs and
be allowed not to exceed FIVE dollars per
day for his services.
Such are the principal features as
briefly as we can state them. The law
requires the Board of Supervisors to
appoint the township collectors before
the first Monday in March; as that
time had passed before the Board knew
of the approval of the act, it is thought
no collectors can be appointed before
next year, and the old law being repealed,
no road tax can be collected from the
people and the roads must remain as they
are. Rather bad state of affairs, CON
sidering the execrable condition of the
public highways after winter of un
usual severity. Perhaps the supervisors
may feel warranted in making immediate
appointments under the statute which
provides for the filling of vacancies,
though the Office of township collector
as defined by the new law is SO different
from that of supervisor according to the
old one, that a vacancy, in the strict
sense of the term, can hardly be said to
exist at ALL To obviate this difficulty
an enabling act should at once be passed,
authorising the supervisors to 60 on and
appoint Immediately.
1t is to be feared that Mr.. Young's
bill will not prove superior to the old
system, except so far as it imposes greater
checks upon officers and prevents loose
expenditure Of the public money. In
it's practical working it strikes us that it
will be rather cumbersome, and not con-
ducive to that promptness of action
which the exigencies of our roads require
for their repair, and which the public
convenience demands.

The State at Large.

~ NS6sO a. 0oA0 So
The long season of storm which sur
passed even the winter Of 1S49-'5O, has
at last come to close, and spring is
drawing near with her balmy breath,
clear skies, and signs Of material pros
perity. The farmer and the miner have
alike been benefited by rain and snow,
and the coming agricultural and mining
season will doubtless be the most prolific
one ever known in the State.
The Shasta rioters were acquitted last
week, and certain papers are lending

Stockton and his deputies for their laud-
able efforts to do their duty.
Another absurd attempt is being made
to remove the State Capital. 1t is pro-
posed to make Oakland the seat of gov

not succeed, unless we are greatly mis-
taken in the character of the present
Legislature.

DR.. Duncombe has been again declared
ineligible to seat in the Assembly, and
it is likely his competitor, Bacon, will

A nugget worth $3.50 was lately found

one of the richest mining counties in
the State, but it bids fair to be one of the
mostprominent fruit and wine producers.
A bill has been introduced in the
Senate which authorizes the counties of
the State, and incorporated cities, to

to enable the counties of San Francisco,
San Mateo and Santa Clara to extend

The weather still remains unfavorable
to the active resumption of mining op-
erations. Except on San Juan Hill and
its immediate vicinity very little wash.
ing is being done, owing to the nightly
frosts and the accumulation of snow at
the sources of the bitches. A few fa-
'vorable yields are, however, reported,
and may be briefly mentioned. The
Gold Cut Company realized 81 AGO from
their last clean up; the Ohio Company
5000; the Sailor Co. $500; and Dutch
Mat made, from some ground adjoin-
ling the Bloomer claims, not considered
valuable, S136 from short run with
eon1y twelve inches of water. At Free
mans, Nye, Van Bokelen & Co. took
out, after four days washing with three
men and thirty inches Of water, sixty
eight ounces. This was in ground
which they lately took up ON the high
bank of Willow Greek. The Italian
Company at Grizzly Hill made from a
recent run the sum of S5S2 IS.
An immense amount of money and
labor is being expended at the numerous
mining localities on the Ridge in the
running of tunnels. There is larger
number Of men employed in preparing
ground to be worked than in working it.
We propose hereafter to give full stats
teal and descriptive accounts of these
preparatory operations, and expect to
show an aggregate of capital invested
that will astonish even miners.

by tie whole, in about the same proper
TORS. Each class enjoys an equal share
Of the common turpitude though each
will exhibit chat turpitude in its own pc
culiar way, and in pursuit of its own
favorite vices ana Qualifications. In this
estimate, however, we must measure, not
by any conventional rule in respect to the
act, but by that which is the only real
standard of rectitude in human things
the intention. The greatest offenders are
those which sin against the clearest lights;
not those which commit-according to
the statute-the highest crimes. 1t needs
but u single glance at the assembled con-
victs of State prison, to see that they
are imperfectmon--crea who, through
defective intellectual development, are
wanting in the capacity to appreciate
moral motivcs-hovering upon the verge
of idiocy, and by every gust of passion
swept over the boundary-mere animals
whose conceptions never rise above the
means to satisfy their appetites They
are cunning-always evidence of mean
ness of intellect; passionate, and when
aroused insanely cruel. In respect to
such people, virtuous Indignation is out
of place They are to be pitied and
cared for. The ruling elder who sits be-
meath the pulpit twice on every Sabbath,
supports half dozen colporteurs in yari-
GUS parts Of the heathen world, stands
recorded as bright and shining light in
all the religious magazines of the day, is
called upon to head every subscription
for charitable purposes that circulates in
the city, and who stands and lies over his
counter to men, women and children for
six days in the week, to increase his
profits, is, we suspect, in the sight of God,
greater rogue than many poor fellow
who, clothed in reprobate stripes, drags
out his weary years in the penitentiary.
1t is a very poor, narrow-souled, cowardly
philosophy which, while it is ever ready
to set up Pharisaic howl over the occa-
sional crimes of violence that occur, and
deduce from thence that society can only
be saved from dissolution by hanging
somebody, has no feelings but those of
profound reverence for the man who, by
the basest of means, has accumulated his
two or three hundred thousands. Per-
haps the best mode for the physician to
display his skill, is to cure his own in
frmities; and when the exemplary classes
ofsociety have fully corrected their habits,
and brought their morals to state Of
pristine soundness, it will be time enough
to go into mourning overthe shortcomings
of the perishing and dangerous classes.
