THE MEXICAN TREATY.-The chances are that
the Mexican treaty will not be approved by the
U. s. Senate. The President, it is said has set
his heart upon its ratification, but Johnson, of
Tennessee, Wigfall, ofTexas, and Hammond and
Chesnut, of South Carolina, and perhaps other
Democrats, were opposing it at the last dates
III Republicans are also against it. From what
wyknow of the treaty, we hope for its ratifca-
ton. We believe it would result in inestimable
good to our people as well as to the people of
Mexico 1t will enable our government to pro-
teet American citizens in Mexico, which she has
never been able to do in times past it will open
all Mexico as a field for the sale of New Eng
land manufactures; it will, in all probability,
establish the Liberal cause in that distracted
country thus accomplishing inestimable good
for both nations.

BeGF The Senate few days ago passed a bill
appropriating $4,000 for the improvement of a
road in Santa Barbara county. We doubt very
much whether Senator De Ia Guerra would vote
for similar bill for the benefit of Shasta coun-
ty. The county of Santa Barbara has not paid
$4,000 into the State Treasury for the past year
or more. We imagine almost every county in
the State has the same need of good roads as has
Santa Barbara. Suppose the Legislature should
give TO all the counties for road purposes the
entire amounts of their State taxes for one year,
how would the government expenses be paid
The bill should be defeated in the Assembly,
The mere personal popularity of Senator should
not induce legislators to favor particular coun-
ty at the expense of the public treasury We
are glad that Senator Logan voted against this
piece of legislative favoritisrn.

the head at a China house in Tehama, by Dave
Jorden. 4elived about twenty four hours after
being shot. We are informed that the two had

to step up and snap pistol at him, as if coming
to the rescue of the moon-eyed inhabitants To
make this safe operation, the caps were care

pistol striking it, ignited the charge. gun or

The Charleston Nomination.

Since our last publication we have received
intelligence of the election of Douglas delegates
to the Charleston Convention from Michigan and
Iowa. The chances of that nomination falling
upon the great Illinois Senator are now GER
tainly very fattering to the hopes of his
friends He will enter the Convention head
and shoulders above every other competition
Nevertheless, we are not very sanguine of his
success. The opposition to him is insanely Bit
ter, and will fight him to the bitter end" AL
most every Southern State has presented a can
didate. These candidates cannot brook the
idea of being overshadowed by the " Little Gil
ant" Their temper as exhibited leaves no room
for conjecture as to what course they intend
and then, with the aid of the two-thrds rule.
defeat Douglas.
So they but nominate a man who can combine
upon himself the support of the Democracy,
North and South, we shall be satisfied. Looking
at the question from this distance-perhaps with
a mental vision somewhat dafkened,by friends
ship for Douglas-we believe him the strongest
man that the Convention could possibly nomi-
nate. We may be in error. Ifso, then We trust
the strongest man will be nominated, be he
whom he may.
In the event that Douglas is defeated, our
readers need not be surprised to learn that Vice
President Breckenridge, or Alex. H. Stephens, of
Georgia, has been the lucky man. Both are
men of brilliant intelects, of broad national
views--so little ultra, as the Washington cores

that the North will accept them cheerfully and
SO true to the peculiar interests of the Southern
States, that they will not ask for any additional

Of the " Shasta Union Seminary" on the 10th OF
April. The institution will be under his super.
intendence. He will be assisted by competent
female teachers-Miss Vienna c. Jackson and
Miss Carrie a. Harris-and by Dr. J. NJ. Brce-
land, who has consented to instruct class in
Chemistry and Physiology.
Prof Godfrey has procured the residence of
the late Capt. l. n Briceland for his Seminary,
which, by its pleasant location and ample
grounds, is admirably adapted for the purpose
We understand the "Unon Seminary will
open with from twenty to twenty five scholars.
We trust our citizens will patronize this institu-
ton. Shasta presents an ample field for the
building up of a frst-class high school. The
patronage of this county alone will amply suffice
to sustain it. Heretofore our citizens have been
compelled, at great expense, to avail themselves
of similar schools located in San Francisco, Sac
ramento, Marysville and Benicia Now they
have afforded them an opportunity OF retaining
their children under the home-roof and vet Sc
curing to them all the advantages of frst-class
high school. We trust they will not be slow to
signify their approval of the enterprise, by be-
slowing upon the Shasta Union Seminary" (

PRINTER OF THE Ii. OF R.-Fx-Gov. Ford, of
Ohio, has been elected Printer of the House of
Representatives. Several Republican ex-mem-
bers of Congress have accepted subordinate
positions under Forney, Clerk, such as super
intendent of the folding room &C. What set
of hungry fellows these Republicans are. We
shall not be surprised to hear that some of their
x-Congressmen-withh hair cut in boyish fl sh-
ion, and in short jackets, with rows of round
brass buttons running down before-have ac-
cepted the position of page in the body in which
they once sat as members. The free negro en-
ployees around the capitol are doubtless much
disturbed. Now that the Republicans have got
taste of the public pap, the mental offices here
tofore performed exclusively by the sable sons
of African sires, are likely to be competed for
by their white brothers of the Black army
Surely, when Republican ex-members of Con-
gress accept the position of paper folder under
the Clerk of the House. or assistant door keeper,
it is not unreasonable 70 suppose that they will
soon vie with the tree negroes for the positions
of scavenger, porter, sweeper, paste boiler,
spittoon cleaner, and other mental off ces.
