EwOur amiable (0 cote'nporary the
Iowa Hill Patriot says, upon the success
and continuance in Office. of what it is
pleased to term Gwin & Co., the existence
of the Placer Herald in a great measure
depends.
AS the Herald has never solicited or OBJ
tanned either State or Federal patronage, or
depended upon any other support than the
legitimate business of printing, the success
or defeat Of any members of the Democratic
party, will not make or undo its pecuniary
prospects.
When the P1triot can live to its eighth
volume, under the same business manage.
ment, and support itself by legitimate
business, as the Herald has done, then may
it consider itself a permanent establishment
of the county, and entitled to possess some
influence and respect among its readers.

PosrpoNEp.-Capt. John Chapman has
postponed the time Of giving his Ball at
Lincoln, from the 22nd of February, to
Thursday, the 5th day of April next. lie
does this because Ball is to be given at
Cox's Ranch on the 22nd Of February, and
for the further reason that by waiting longer
the Railroad will be opened to Folsom, thus
giving better promise Of more general

Census Bill.

An OvertOWlng state treasury Is cause
of much uneasiness to some of the patriotic
O) gentlemen who congregate outside and
inside of the walls of the Capitol at Sacra-
mento, and to none more SO, we should
Judge, than the talking member from YoIo,
Mr.. Gwinn, who has ccncocted bill, which
Il successful, will rake the strong box Of dou-
bic eagles too numerous to mention. This
is none other than a bill providing for the
taking of the census under the authority OF
the State during the present year; giving
the Governor the appointing power of an
agent for each county, and allowing such
agents $40 per diem for their services. A
more deliberate attempt to force the useless
expenditure of $4,000 or $4,000 of the
States money, has not before been made at
the present session.
1t will be remembered that the census of
the United States is required to be taken
this year, under the direction of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, and the expenses at
tending the work, as usual, will be paid by
the General Government. The Secretary
is authorized to allow an increased compen-
sation to census agents upon this coast, and
has already signified bis intention to double
the pay in California. In the face Of these
facts, the proposition of Mr.. Gwinn looks
very like an attempt to 'rake the Treasury"
for no other purpose than to make places for
numerous hungry hangers on, who have
already done and propose more service to
the political master Mr.. Gwnn delights to
honor.
The Constitution Of this State provides
that census should be taken of the inhabi-
atnts in 1852, and in 1855, "and at the end
of every ten years thereafter, and these
enumerations, together with the census that
may be taken under The direction of the
Congress Of the United States, in the year
one thousand eight hundred and fifty, and
every subsequent ten years, shall serve as
the basis of representation in both houses
Of the Legislature" This section shows the
intent of the trainers of the Constitution to
obtain census every five years-the State
and the United States alternating in the
work. But Mr.. Gwinn proposes to override
this Constitutional provision. He is well
aware that census will e taken by the
General Government, the expenses of which
it will pay; but he is willing to put the State
to n similar expense at the same time The
census taken bv the State could not be re-
ceived by the General Government, as the
basis of Congressional representation, in
preference to the one taken under its own
authority; but on the other hand our Con-
sttution says the United States census of
this year shall be taken as the basis of our
Legislative representation.
This should be sufficient for our Lecisla-
ture, and cause it to put a quetus upon this
grand scheme to fasten regiment of hun
cry pap suckers upon the State Treasury for
purely political purposes. We shall see if
there be majority Of members willing to
assume the responsibility of this beautiful
project

Letter from Governor Weller.

The following letter appears in the Marys-
vile Express, and fully explains itself. 1t is
the plain and outspoken language of man
who never resorts to low subterfuges to. gain
any point. Should any man attempt to
place John B. Weller in the U. S. Senate by
a trick, he would himself be the first to de-
nounce the scheme:
SACRAMENTO, Jan. ls, 1860.
DEAR S1R:-Yp6r letter of the 10th, in
forming me that 1lsi:xeforted in your city
that Senator is ~ elected this winter as
a successor to DR.. Gwip, and that l am a
candidate, has been received
AS am not in the counsels of the men
who have the control Of the Legislature, |
am unable to give you any information in
regard to the first part of the rumor. In
reference to the last, however, can say most
emphatically, that can never be a Jarty to
fraud upon the people.
The duty of selecting successor to Dr.
Gwin very properly devoves upon the next
Legislature, and an attempt on the part of
the present to elect one ought to be regarded
as most infamous outrage. Yours truly
JOHN B. WELLER.

EE The S. F. Times, Ohe rankest of
Black Republican sheets) expresses itself ex
tremely well pleased with Mr.. Latham's short
gubernatorial career, as he 'turned out" bet
ter than it anticipated. Among the "turhing
out" indicated by the Times as giving that
journal great qualification, was the removal
of four of the San Francisco pilots, who
were Irishmen.
AS Irishmen are generally Democrats, and
earnest opponents Of anything like Black
Republicanlsm, these removals filled the
Times with warm admiration for Mr.. La
than.
