UNION REsoLUTIoNs.-The Assembly on Fri
day of last week passed the Union resolutions
reported by the majority of the committee to
whom the different series of resolves had been
referred, by vote of 40 to %. We are pleased
ITO observe that the names of the entire Nevada
dedegasion are recorded in the affirmative, with
the exception Of that of Mr.. Spence, who appears
to have been absent when the roll was called
but even he was paired off.
While the resolutions were under considera-
'tion, Mr.. Miller offered the4wo following as a
substitute, which were ruled out order:
Resolced, That our form of government is one
OF laws, and not of men and it is the duty of all
good citizens to yield obedience to the constituted
authorities when acting within their constitu-
etional limits.
Res0tced, That while we acknowledge the in
lherent right OF revolution as above and beyond
:all law, we find no warrant in the Federal Con.
stltution for the secession of States by means OF
separate State action.
AT subsequent period in the proceedings, Mr.
Piercy proposed the Crittenden Compromise as
a substitute, on which the vote was taken by
yeas and nays, and rejected-yeas q, nays 3S
Mr.. Miller voting in the affirmative, and Messrs
Avery, Councilman and Eastman in the mega

1t is best for California to express her loyalty
to the Union and determination to assist the

MOUNTAIN PEACH TREEs.-Mr. Manchester,
who resides ON San Francisco street, direct
ed our attention the other day to the peach
trees in his front yard, with the request that
we should note the marked difference pre-
sented in their bloom. Four trees, which
were raised in the mountains from the seed,
were conspicuous for the large number OF
blossoms which they contained, and the ad-
vanced condition of the bloom, as compared
with those surrounding. From this Mr.. NJ.
argued, as we think correctly, that the
mountain growth from the seed is preferable
to the valley trees. That they are more
vigorous and bear better fruit, he says he
canaser, from having practically. tested the
matter.

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

Senator Merritt said in debate, Yesterday, that
ne hoped some mode would be adopted to abolisl.
the office of Attorney General, as the State had
to hire counsel In every case in which she was
party, and might just as well have no Attorney
General, as to have one, and have matters as
they now are and Senator Clark said he believed
the office of Attorney-Generalt to be useless, and
that it ought to be aboEshed.-Sac. Bee.
We are pleased to know that this discovery
has at last been made. Nearly year age we
expressed the opinion, through the columns of a
public newspaper, that this was useless office.
The Constitution provides for it, however, and
the only way to get rid of it is to refuse making
an appropriation to pay the salary. California
politicians will have nothing to do with it when
there is no pay attached.
The opinions of the Attorney General are not
binding upon any one. The office has never
been regarded by the Legislature as of much i'm
portance, or if it had been, the salary of its in
eumbent would have been placed on a nearer
equality with the Controller, Treasurer, etc. One
of these officers receives four thousand dollars,
and the other three thousand five hundred per
year;,whereas, the salary of the Attorney Gen.
erar is fxed'atsonly two thousand. By little
adroit management about the Hobbies, he sue
ceeded in getting it up to 4,200, as follows, 1--WE

Salary Of Attorney General. 49,. ...$2, 900

Total. S., 200
Every year the State appropriates SUM
more or less-to pay the cost of suits wherein
the State is party, to be expended under the
direction of the Attorney General" In 1853 the
amount was 81 800. This is virtually giving
that officer deputy, in addition to his clerk.
But could anything be more absurd than to
allow the Attorney General clerk? The labor
of the entire year would not exceed the prepara-
ton of dozen BRIEFS. And then, he must have
$500 for contingents, and $500 more for office
rent! Five dollars worth of stationery ought to
last him the entire term of his service, and his
Office might be kept in the garret of his dwelling,
or the loft of his barn, for all the use there is OF

MADE THEM FLUTTER.-The press of the
State has been almost universal in its con-
den,nation of The Legislature for violating
! the plain letter and spirit sof che Constitu-
ton, by passing law granting change of
venue in case whereit had beec denied by
the Court. This censure was keenly felt,
too in that body for when the bill was re-
turned by Governor Downey, with his OBJ
sage Notwithstanding his veto, there was
considerable -futtering, and numerous ex-
plantations given for the affirmative votes.
Nothing but sense Of false .pride carried
the-measure through. Most of those who
-susrsiuedit originally, although subsequent
ly convinced that they did wrong, could not
muster the moral courage (as did our dele
cation, with the exception only of Mr.. Watt, J
to confess their error, and by now opposing
it, repair the wrong. Their names are pub
lished with the-act, and thesrecerd will for
eever stand@against them.
Those who voted to pass the bill over the
veto, in the Senate, were:
Ayes-Afessrs. Crittenden, -DeLong, Den
yer, Dickinson, Eagan, Edgerton, Franklin,
Gallagher, Irwin, Logan, Merritt, ,ePico, Ryan,

Those who votedagaiHst the bill, were:
Noes-Messrs. Burbar+s, Chase, CLARK,
Harvey, Haynes, Hill, Phelps, Shafter and
Mr.. President-9.
While the veto message and bill were un-
der consideration in the Assembly, Mr..
Miller said she had great doubts as to the
constitationilIty of the biH although hts
sympathies were with It, and lie should
therefore vote to sustain the Veto"
On call of the yeas and nays, the ques-
ton again being, Shall the bill pass, not
withstanding the objections of the Gov
ernor?" the vote stood

as an unconstitutional interference on the
part of the Legislature with the Judiciary.

The Golden Gate Claims and Tunnel,

! of "E PLURIBUs UNUM."
The Golden Gate Claims and Tunnel.
| Mr.. EDITOR Your Devil wished me to give
him some items in regard to the Golden Gate
Mining Company, in which l am somewhat in
terested. Perhaps short history of the past
! will not be anhiss; and / here state, that their
Tunnei was commenced about the year 1856,
under the disadvantages generally attendant on
projects of the kind. Three years or more were
| spent in running the Tunnel the short distance
of 400 feet, the rock being granite of that finty
nature that is seldom seen. The boys who were
then shareholders, Thought it best to raise a
shaft, believing it would be an advantage to wash
the top gravel away while the main Tunnel was
being driven ahead. Accordingly, contract
of that kind was let, which proved very hard
as well as dangerous job to the contractors,
Messrs, Wilson, Hillhouse and Ridgeway. Three
better or Drawer men could hardly be found for
such an emergency. After piercing the hard
rock for 10 feet, on a grade of As degrees, they
came to soft'rock, which caved, filing the entire
shaft and much of the Tunnel below with the
fragments, dirt, gravel, and damming up the
""eci, WHICH IeHutlcu IL peIAOuS 10 remove the
deposit The labor was continued until Is feet
of soft rock and 20 of gravel were got through,
after repeated trials, as related above, were en-
cOuntered by the brave and unfinching men
whose hives every day for period of six weeks
werein, jeopardy, and which will be remembered
down to the last hour of life by those concerned
in the work. Nearly two years have elapsed
since this occurrence, and the enterprise is still
going on. A mighty bank washed away, and
has done its part in filling up the bed of the Yu-
ba, and affording labor for the Chinese with its
tailings, and who, in pecuniary point of view,
are well off, in being Independent of the ditch
companies for their water.
We find our main Tunnel near 200 feet further
in than where left it at the foot of the incline,
which induces the boys to believe some better
washing can be dohe as a Shaft has just been
sunk to the depth of gravel, which has also re-
vealed the S'lay" of the lead, by yielding "pros-
poets" which contain fine sprinkling of dust,
and which hasa tendency To make the doubts
and fears so long entertained disperse. 1t has
also caused little rejoicing among the boys.
What the future will be, we cannot predict; but,
Mr.. Devil, as the darkest hour is sometimes just
before day. with the skill and energy 6f our ihost
worthy foreman, Mr.. E. B. Ramsdell, in whom
we have e'implicit confidence, aided by Winham
& Brothers, we have the right to expect clear
future, which, if permitted, we may relate at a
convenient time. TINKER.
