"Who is Governor" I"

We PROFOUND the question, knowing full
we'll that all who have watched the course
of the present accidental Governor, can an
swer it correctly. But for the benefit and
information of those who have given but
little attention to the acts OF the Executive,
we propose to answer the interrogatory. 1t
is supposed, by perhaps ore half of our
people-we mean the real people. not the
San Francisco press-that John G. Downey
is the Governor of California. No supposi
tion could be at greater variance from the
real truth. 1t is trne he is nominally so,
but really and practically he is not, for every
intelligent reader is aware there is power
behind the throne, greater than the throne
itself. The Governor reminds us of green
actor who plays his part entirely by the aid
of a promper behind the scenes. He COW
erts the praise and favor Of the hidden pow
er 1t dictates and shapes Executive action
with despotc sway, and according to its
own notions Of propriety. 1t wills, and the
nominal Governor oheys 1t t1atters aud he
swallows. 1t praises snd he smiles. For
obedience to orders, it says: "lhou art the
Genl. jackson of California" and he says
what q wonderfully great man am l." 1t
assumes to be the people, and he responds
'vou are most a>snredly the people," 1t
cries "wrong." and he echoes ''ourage.' 1t
gives out that the Constitution is violated,
and he answers that the government Is over
thrown. It.ries "veto,' and he does 'veto.'
There is no disohedience.
This power behind the throne which die,
tates and shapes Executive action, and by
praise and tlattery controls and seduces the
Governor, is an unscrupulous public press,
headed by the Bulletin of San Frsncisco
with the Alta and Union for its drill off
GERS and disreputabe journals constituting
the rank and file. 1t is from this source
that Downey covers praise, which to him,
it would seem WAS higher consideration,
than the discharge of plain duty, the ap.
proval OF just law, or proper regard for
the interest of the real people. Hence we
have concluded that Doctor Downey is not
the real Governor of the State, but that the
Bulletin is, and we therefore suggest to the
Legislature the setting apart of an early
dav for tie inauguration OF that delec;able
institution as Chief Executive of the State,
and permit the present incumbent TO retire
once more to the shades of his Drug Shops
at Los Angeles. in which position he would
appear more dignfied and which is adapted
to the range of his genius.

do as You would be Done By.'

At seasons like the present, and in local
tiles like California, too much zeal cannot
be exercised in the God like work of pre-.
serving harmony. Reasonable and fair men
cannot but remember that in the opinions
upon the exciting questions of the day, their
neiyhbors, equally conscientious with them
selves, may think entirely different from
themselves. "Do rs YOU would be done BY"
is a very old motto, but none the less ex
cellent. Let those who are, or suppose
themselves to be, in the majority in this
State, calmly consider the position in which
their opponents are situated, put themselves
in imagination in their places, and then de
Iiberale upon what they wonld then say or
think in reference to the matters now upon
the political carpet. Let them ask them
selves what they would say, do or think, if
they were natives of the States which are
now involved in the political trouble on the
Atlantic shores. 1t is easy for those whose
birth place is far away from the scene of
the late difficulties to talk of blood and ven
geance, hu: would they if they claimed the
States where they occurred, rs Their birth
place, refuse to sympathize with their kins-
men and former cHmpatriots. No man of
character or spirit would hesitate to do this.
1t is against human nature. We of Califor.
MIA are, as we have before remarked, unfor
tunately situated at the present time. There
is in our community men from every section
of the Union. men from States where law.
less acts are ame st daily committed such
acts being provoked by equally lawless
movements elsewhere.
The on y way to avoid unpleasant feeling
At this time, is TO avoid political discussion
everywhere, where i, can be 90, rid Of We
are, to use a familiar expression, ''out of The
ring" 1t is true that we shall find this a
very difficult operation. but it is an expert
ment well worth trying. Above all, good
citizens should try to cultivate a feeling of
friendship, avoid all irritating topics in the r
conversations with their neighhors who do
not agree with them in political sentiment,
and sr rive to remember the fact that all
good and true men cannot and do not think
alike upon all subjects. Above all, we hope
to see these exciting pc litiral subjects kep
out Of the lecture room and the social cir.

Alteration Ct the County Line.

Mr.. Montgomery, of Suffer county, has
introduced bill into the Assembly to alter
the western boundary line Of Placer county.
We learn the avowed object is to make the
line run North and South, from Bear River,
on the United States surveys, instead of run
ming diagonalIv across them. But under
this intention, we learn, there is another
object and that is, to take off of Placer
county, about two tiers of Congressional
Townships in width, II miles and add them
TO Sutter county If this is so, 1--WE have
not seen the hill,) our delegation in the Leg
islature should fight it to the "bilter end"
Such proposition would deprive our county
Of its best taxable property and almost en-
tirely of our valley or farming lands. Such
a bill would be unjust in the extreme. Now
boundary could be fixed which would be
nearly equitable as it could be got at
Thus: "Commencing at the South East cor
ner of Section "a in Township No. 10, North
Range I East: thence west on the section
line to the South West corner of Section
49, in Township 10, Range 5; thence North
on the line between ranges four and five, to
where said line strikes Bear Rvel; thence
up Bear River to Camp Far West, which is
now the initial point Of our county boun
Diary. Ii Mr.. Montgomery would adopt this
line, we might he inclined to favor his bill.
The result Would be that Sutter county would
lose half of Congressional Township No. l3,
Range 4, and few Sections in TIP. IA
Ranges and 6, and abou, or four sec
tons in Tr. 10, Range 5. On the other hand
she would gain over half of TIP. IL, in Range
4, and all Of TIP. TO- Range 4, that is now
in Placer county. BY reference to the Sur
veyors maps in the State Land Office, the
equity of our proposition can be easily ascer
tained. We are willing the line should be
"straightaned" upon just basis--but nc
cutting off of twelve miles. That won
do Mr.. Montgomery
