John Chinaman.

Mr. White, our Assemblyman, has given no.
tice of his intention to introduce bill amenda-
tory of the law for the protection of foreign mi
ners. We trust he will incorporate into his
bill provision for the more effectual enforce
ment of the collection of the foreign miners
tax. Under existing law, if Chinaman has no
property, and refuses to pay this tax, he is per-
mitted to continue working the mines. This is
Clearly contrary to the spirit and letter of the
law, which declares that no man who is not
citizen, or who has not declared his intention
to become a citizen, shall be permitted to take
gold from the mines of California, unless he
shall first have paid a certain tax. Hence the
Collector should b. empowered to prevent Chi
nese working the mines unless they can exhibit
their tax receipt. Let the possession of tax
receipt be necessary to enable them to hold
claim. If they refuse to pay the tax, and per-
sist in remaining in the mines, authorise the
Collector to arrest and pass them into the hands
of the Road Overseers, and compel them to
work out the tax on the public roads, at the
rate of one dollar or less per day. Such pro-
vision, if it did not increase the revenue from
this source, would certainly result in great good
to the mining Counties in the improving of the
public highways. We earnestly, as we did to
Mr.. Street last year, commend this view of the
Chinese question to our present able Represen-
tatve, Mr. White

When the summer dews are over,
And through the wavering light,
We watch for stars that used to float
Across the peaceful night,
Yet see but golden paths behind,
The bound of life before
How beautiful the flush of dawn,
That gilds the distant shore
When summer dews are over.
Our dim eyes turn once more to see
The way, SO mixed with strife,
We are not what we meant to be,
We have not conquered Life;
All, many murmurs, slow and sad,
Tho wild wave bears along,
While little rlls of childhood beat
Up pleasant notes of song
When summer dews are over.
{ Seraphic faces pierce the gloom.
With human love, of that hour.
4 Oh, had they staid, our poor, pale lives
Might blossom'd some sweet flower.
Ono longing look of doubt and dread,
The jasper gate is past;
And all that puzzled US while here"
Is right and clear at last
When summer dews are over.
Years, years with patient ministry
Drop tidings of our way.
Flinging the sunlight far behind,
Wreathing dark hair with gray;
And starlit depths of holy night
Hath not place so blest,
As some forgotten spot where lies
A mighty heart at rest
When summer dews are over.

FRAsK Rivers MELoDEoN.-Every body in
this State knows Frank Rivers, or at least al
most every body has heard of him. Having
been in every county and town in California as
the agent for some circus, musical or theatrical
company, and being jolly and companonable
+" cuss" withal, it is not unreasonable to suppose
that his personal acquaintance in the State is
more extensive than that of any other man.
Well, Frank is now in New York, and the pro-
prietor of the "Melodeon," $50 Broadway, Chi
nese Buildings, which he announces, in sundry
bills now before US, IS the cheapest place of
amusement in the world and the Model Con-
cert Hall of America" Connected with the
theatre-admission, l3 cents-is a drinking
establishment, where none but the choicest
lfsuors and finest brand of segars are sold
Jhich will be supplied the patrons of the
d.ama, by numerous walters, at their seats in
TIE concert room-thus enabling them to enjoy
good acting. good liquor and good cigars at one
and the same time and for sum less than that
demanded at any other establishment for the
privilege of enjoying a view OF the theatrical
feature alone We advise returning Califor-
mans to pay visit to Frank Rivers "Melodeon," /"
$50 Broadway, New York.

MISREPRESENTATION citizens were perfectly
sstounded few days since on looking over the
proceedings of the Legislature to find that our
Representative, Col. Stevenson, had introduced
bill to abolish the office fQuartermaster Gen
eral. This is not only stab at Gov. Weller
and Gen. kibbe, but Is direct thrust at the
late Indian Expedition from this county. Col
Stevenson has grossly misrepfesented the people
of Tehama County, nine-tenths of whom, after
the valuable services rendered by the Kibbe
Rangers, are opposed to abolishing this law
We warn Col. 5. not to persist in thus going
against those who placed him in power. Let
him withdraw this bill.
In thus talking the editor of the Beacon, it
appears to us, exhibits a spirit of personal i'll
will towards Col. Stevenson The Office of Quar-
termaster General, in our opinion, is useless
and unnecessary Office If to abolish such be a
direct thrust at Gen. Kibbe and Gov Weller or
any body else, why, let them suffer- Suppose
the Kibbe expedition did do Tehama county a
service, is that any reason why the Office of
Quartermaster General should be retained ?
Any other man of fair business talents could
have rendered the same service under similar
Instances. Gen. Kibbe did not do any of
the fighting The service which he rendered,
in procuring supplies for the soldiers, forward
ing Indians captives, &c, could have been done
just as acceptably by any one of hundreds of
private citizens. Col. Lewis could have re-
mained in Red Bluff and performed the same
service that Gen. Kibbe did, if the Governor
had requested him to do it-could he not The
fact is, if the Governor had not looked upon the
office of Quartermaster General as unnecessary
and useless, he would never have ordered the
incumbent away therefrom for sundry months.
We hold Gen. Kibbe in high esteem. He has
conducted both the Pit River and Humboldt ex-
petitions with great credit to himself and to the
State. Acting in the capacity of commssary to
each expedition, he has used great economy-no
greater, however, than any other good and
honest business man would have done. Hence
we can have no prejudces against the Office on
his account We simply believe it unnecessary
"a useless expense. Its duties might just as
veil be performed by the Secretary of State.

n5Ae Lieut. Gov Downey, who has succeeded
to the Gubernatorial chair by the election of
Latham to the L. S. Senate is an Irishman by
birth. How can the old Know Nothings live
under his administration Mr. Quinn, Presi-
dent pro tenn of the Senate, is er offcio Lieut..
Governor. He was born in Virginia, but judg-
ing by his name, it is safe to bet that his father
was son of Erin. Phil. Moore, Speaker of the
House, also, it is said, had an Irish daddy. By
the way, we see that the Hon. Speaker is put
down as coming from Maryland, and being a
miner by occupation. We had heretofore sup
posed he came from the city of New York and
was lawyer by profession. We were doubtless
wrong.

SHASTA COURIER.
Rejoicing at Latham's Election.

On Wednesday morning last our town was
taken melI aback" over the announcement that
Latham had been nominated for o. S. Senator.
Everybody had taken it for granted that he was
wholly out of the ring at this time, and no one
had thought of him among the list of COM
promise candidates. However, after our people
had time TO catch their breath, which had been
completely knocked out of them by the sudden
ness and unexpectedness of the astounding in
formation everybody seemed rejoiced. No, not
everybody A few Republicans, who voted
against him, and pretended to believe all the
charges made against him during the canvass,
and a few Democrats who thought he should
not have accepted the nomination for Senator
almost in the first hour of his Inauguration as
Governor--a few of such grumbled little, But
the great mass expressed great satisfaction
The majority, which was friendly to Denver, re-
ioiced that Weller was defeated at all events,
and Welers friends reciprocate1 by declaring
themselves ID glad that Denver didn't get in.
We take it for granted that the whole country
will be satisfied with the action OF the Demorra-
cy in the Legislature. Milton S. Latham is en-
inently popular, and deseryedly so. A truer
Democrat cannot be named, and an ADLER or
more eloquent expounder or defender of the
Democratic faith cannot be found in California.
We predict for him ii brilliant career in the Z.
S. Senate-a career that will rebound to his
own fame and TO the good of his adopted State.
We cannot refrain from remarking upon the
objection of our Republican friends to Mr.. La
tham's accepting the position of [. s Senator
before he had served the people in the position
to which they had called him. 1t is simply
ridiculous Dan. Webster resigned his seat
in the u S. Senate twice to accept Of promotion
to the Cabinet Calhoun did the same thing
once. Gen Cass did the same also. if we do
not greatly err, to accept the position of Secre-
tary of State under Buchanan. Any man will,
land is justified in So doing) accept OF promo
ton in office. The Democracy elected Mr.. la
than Governor, aud III" Democracy may, if they
deem it wise, as they have deemed It wisa, re-
move him from that position by promoting him
to one still more exalted aud hono9able-and no
one has right to censure him for accepting OF
such promotion Indeed it i, his duty TO
cept Every Democrat is in the hands of his
party. Tn voice of the party IS his d" rule of
action" But why talk on this head No sane
man will seriously cen>ure Mr. Lttham for ac-
cepting sett in The L. ). Senate.
