Delinquent Tax Bill.

A bill has passed the Assembly, providing
for the collection of the delinquent taxes in
Butte county, for the years 1858, 1859, and
1860. We have been favored by Senators
Irwin and Vance, with a copy of the bill 1t
is, in fact, plunderng bill for the relief of the
Prosecuting Attorney for Butte county, by
whom it appears to have been proposed, and,
should it become law, would enable him to
BILE him to leave the State, probably for the
good of the State. In justice to our members
of the Assembly, we deem it proper to say
that, it passed that body, during the temporary
absence of DR.. Tilden, and with the under
standing on the part of Gen. Harris, that it
should be referred to the Finance Committee
of the Senate, for such amendment as justice
and decency might require. Why such amend
ments should not have been made prior to its
passage in the Assembly, we shall not assume
to know, unless it was because the members Of
the Finance Committee Of the Senate were
more familiar with the features of a similar law
for Sacramento passed last winter.
This bill, as proposed by the District Attor-
ney, legalzes all assessments, however imper
fectly they may have been made, and authori-
yes the Prosecuting Attorney to commence
suit thereon, after the taxes have been due for
thirty days. 1t also legalizes the assessments
of property in Orovle, made prior to the de-
struction of the town by fire, in 1858, and
renders, any property that the person against
whom such assessment was then made, may
now hold, liable therefor. 1t provides that the
attorney shall receive from ten to twenty-five
per cent, which is to be added to the judg-
ment for taxes, together with costs of suit :
ten per cent in cases Of payment after simple
notiication,-6fteenp per cent. in cases Of prose
cution, and twenty-five per cent. in cases of
conviction. Of course, this. is independent
Of the per centage to which the Collector and
Treasurer are entitled.
1t is proper that provision should be made
for the collection of the delinquent tax lists of
the county; but there is not man in the
county who would favor such rough scheme
of plumber for the aggrandizement of single
officer.
We are advised that our Senators have the
bantling in charge, and will, reduce it to some
thing like Gecency before its further introduc
tion to the dignity and courtesy of the Senate.

Of -four, and 1,7S9,769 sacks of wheat; in
1858, we exported only 227,sS2 quarter sacks
of -four, and 37O,7s7 sacks of wheat. As each
sack of wheat weighs 100 lbs, it follows that
176,976,90O pounds of that article, or S9,4S6
tons of 1000 pounds each, were exported du-
ring the past year the weight of -four ex-
ported was 23,o65,S50 pounds-a little over

Surprise.

Mr. EDITOR Were you ever surprised
Now, we have been, a great many times-but
we have to relate surprise that we were made
the subject of, which to US was peculiar. On
the evening of the lst inst, bright fire was
burning on the hearth of the parsonage; we
had lighted the lamp, and seated ourselves
comfortably, when we were AROUSED from our
cogtatons by a rap at our door. Proceeding
to open it, we were met by long line of ladies,
who greeted us with cheerful good evening"
and passed by US in single file While passing
us we noticed a that they presented peculiar
distension-now don't imagine that we have
any reference to "hoops." They had large
shawls over their shoulders, but the right
side presented the peculiar dstension.' On
close inspection we discovered the bottoms of
some large market baskets which the shawls
failed to conceal On they passed through the
hall and the parlor into the kitchen Our sur
prise did not prevent our following, and polite
y, Offering our service, when they as politely,
gave us to understand that our services were
not needed, and that they would take charge
Of that department. Soon another troop, and
then another, and the "cry was still they come"
ladies ard gentlemen, all smiling. They
filled the parlors the bed rooms, the hall, the
porch, and some remained at the gate despair
ing of finding room within.
In the meantime, a melodean was placed in
the center Of the large parlor, a company of
singers gathered around it and discoursed "
some excellent music; after which refreshments
were passed round, consisting of coffee, sand
wiches, cakes and pies, finishing with fruit.
nuts and candies
After refreshing the inner man" there ap-
peared on the countenances of the company an
expectation of some "coming events" While
we were considering whereunto this would
lead, we were privately requested to take
certain position, when we were approached by
q well known citizen, who after short but
well conceived address, presented us, in behalf
of the company, with long leathern purse,
filled to repetion with coin. We responded
as best we could after which the company
continued the social enjoyment, with conver-
sation interspersed with music, until ten o'clock,
when after prayer, the company dispersed,
leaving US their cheerful good night" and over
two hundred dollars substantial benefit One
hundred and eighty-two dollars of which was
in money.
And now Mr.. Editor, after making due al
lowance for our surprise, we give it as our " in
digidual opinion" that better looking and
better behaved company never surprised"
any one,-and that taking all things into ac-
counts-Oroville cant be beat.

INSANE AsYLUM.-Private advices from the
Capital assure US that the position of Superin-

given to DR.. w. z. 1'ilden, the able and faith
ful Representative from this county. The DIS
unonsts of the Legislature, and of the State,
are making huge efforts to retain that inslitu-
tion under their control. In the general turning
out Of office they are about to experience, they
desire to retain the superintendency of that in
stitution, as it will afford them place Of resort
in their extremity and enable them to still

up the institution. There is no other position
that these disconsolate pap suckers would not
trade off to secure Ayletts reelection. The

they secure the Insane Asylum as sort of an
eleemosynary establishment for the decayed
suckers who are about to surrender their hold
of the public teat. There is a determination
however, on the part of all true friends ol the
State TO take it from them, and it cannot be
placed in more faithful or competent hands
than those OF DR.. Tilden.

BaT The recent Breckinridgers have emer,
ged from their chryslis state. They are no
longer poywogs in the wake of Buchanan,
but full grown secessionists. Their cry is no
longer " Union and Liberty, one and insepara-
ble. now and forever" but is now secession
and disunion, now and forever, one and ire
pressible" The present course of their craft
is for Pacific Republic, and they are making
huge efforts to draw weak-minded Democrats
with them. In this we suppose they will be
partially successful. Indeed they appear to
have already taken Messrs. Harris and Wood
from the Democratic ranks, and they listen
complacently in the House to peans from
Breckenridge leaders in praise of Gwin. How
the Generals have fallen They will forever
regret the course they have pursued. Another
year, and the Breckinridge secessionists will be
overwhelmed by the Union sentiment that will
go up from the ballot-box and they will find
themselves repudiated and Stunned by the good
and patriotic of the land Notwithstanding
their constant and unremitting efforts to cor
rupt public opinion, they will fail to carry with
them the strength they exhibited under their
false colors in November last. The Union
now and forever, and inseparable," is the raj
lying cry of the national Democracy. Let Sc
cessionists beware, for the hemp to hang trail
tors to the American Union, has already been
gathered and carried through the various pro-
cesses necessary to fit it for service.
