had no FIRST in the vicinity of this city yet. The
grsss il green as ever-much more go than il was
during the Summer, aud the most tender vegetables
show touch Of fros', evenat high elevation miles
back fro1 he coast, at the north aud east of the
city. Lest night there was warm rain; to-day
cloudy, windy and COOL and the prospect is that we
shall not escape frost another day. 1t was stated to
us yesterday that in 1880 there was no frost near the
city until after tie 18th of October, and in no other
year has it been known as late by those who have
kept record of times and seasons.

SECESSION AGAIN.-The last Pony brought
budget replete to plethora with secession
items. Secession is the order of the day
with newspapers. Nothing but secession
is thought of, spoken of, dreamed Of The
first question after the morning salutation
is about secession, and the last words at
night are about a rupture of the Union.
South Carolina tries to think herself clear
out of the Union, separate, independent
rattlesnake, palmetto nation. OF course
the Rhetoric of her big ones is sonorous and
| lofty The vista of the future opens to her
statesmen grand arcana for glorious deeds,
| honors won, boundaries extended, no taxes
aud myriads of niggers. She sees from the
tops of mountains of cotton the rest of the
| Union whitfield down to the little end OF
nothing and still growing smaller by de-
crees and beautifully less. She may awake
to find she has put her face to the big end
of the telescope, but the chances are she is
so far gone in dementia that she never will
discover her own abasement and littleness
till some mlghtier power shall blot her out
and destroy the liberties of her people
South Carolina needs, and injustice is done
her if she has not administered to her, q
thorough dose Of shot and shell. 1t is folly
to talk of compromising with such an un-
reasonable, hair-brained, treasonable peo-
pie. Nothing short of a drubbing will cure
them of their conceit and audacity. She
has been the boy in a neighbor's apple-tree
stealing apples, with whom gentle word:
and tufts of grass have no influence, anC
whose sauciness needs something harder tC
subdue it. Let her be pelted heartily ant
brought to understand the difference be
tween right and wrong by the last arsumen
o which men resort.

JONI c. BuRcu.-Wc find the letter of Con-
gresham Burch to Street, in the Shasta Herald,
Streets paper. 1t is. Of course, genuine. lie
discusses Pacific Confederacy- Here is just
a nibblc Of the thing, as specimen of the style
of Congressman. 1t ought to be preceded by
the song; Il wish 1 was in Dixie"
The people cf California and her neighbors
should be of one mind on this subject, and be
prepared for the emergency and if the 'Fates
should force US to this last sad resort let us with
disposition to welcome all who come to Us
from our ''oll homes' seeking an asylum, raise
aloft the flag of the Bear surrounded with the
hydra pointed cactus of the western wlids
and call upon the enlightened nations of the
earth TO acknowledge our independence, and
to protect Us the only ''waif' from the wreck oi

MURDER.-It is not too late to mention the
diabolical murder of Samuel I. Newell, late
publisher of the Auburn Signal, by Horace
Smith well known lawyer and politician
Smith followed Newell to San Francisco fer the
purpose of taking his life, and meeting him on
the street accomplished his design by stabbing
his victim in the neck so that he died in about
fifteen minutes. Different reports are in circu-
lation about the cause of the horrid affair, but
it is quite certain that Smith acted under the
impression that Newell had spoken i'll of Smith S
wife. Newell, it is said, denied ever having
said anything te the lady's disparagement, and
designed making denial to Smith but was de
tered from doing so by his friends who assured
him Smith would kill him if he made the at
tempt. Newell, therefore, attempted to flee
from the blood thirsty wretch, but was followed
and butchereI. The terrible deed was commit
ted in broad day light in q prominent street OF
San Francisco on Wednes ~ of last week.
Of late there has been exhibited in this State
an almost unparalleled rccklcssness of human
life. Murders and homicides are quite the fash
ion, This state of things must be changed by
force Of the law or every man will be obliged to
carry an arsenal under his coat tail to protect
himself in pursuing the peaceful avocations OF
life

BUcHASAN's UNIVERSAL PRAYING DAY.
The 4th, Buchanan's day for humiliation,
fasting and prayer, passed off, like all other
days, without any unusual observance, right
in the face of the recommendation of the
president. We don't know n single pious
Breckinridger who went without his grub,
or who came down on his marrow bones in
the entire city. The praying and fasting
spirit did not seem to be about at all in this
region. The Union during Buchanan's ad-
ministration is evidently thought past pray
ing for.

No SPEAKER.-The Assembly at last dates
had not organic ed by the election of
Sneaker. Conness has the most votes of
any candidate for the place, but his bulk
head and libel bill record is such that none
but his partizan friends appear willing to
support him. His opponents are Frank
Fargo, Republican, and Showalter, Breck-
inridge. The vote of the Republicans,
eighteen, and that of the Breckinridg-
ers, twenty-five, would elect, as not all
members of the Legislature are yet in
their seats. 1t is not probable however
that fusion of that kind will be made.
If no deep political scheme lies at the bot
tom of the election of Conness, We hope
the Republicans will terminate the contest
as soon as possible, to allow the Legisla-
ture to proceed to the discharge of its le-
Ultimate duties. But the members of the
Legislature are the best judges of the
eours. proper for them to take, and We
submit TO their decision for the present. A
short and economical session, aud if Sen
ator is to be elected, the proper man 70? tht
place, is all that is asked of our represents
tiyes.

About PoIl Tax.

An examination of the books of the Coun-
ty Auditor discovers the important fact
that out Of 6,96l men who voted at the late
election, but l, ,7s5 paid poll taxes during
the year. Even less probably; for it is cal.
culated that there Are not less than 500
Chinese in the county, and as many more
other aliens subject to the same tax. Seven.
teen hundred and eighty-fve persons per
form their duties to the government thai
protects them, and more than eight thous.
and do not, or in other words less than ont
out of FIVE bear any of the burthens of ia,
alton.
These facts show there is screw loose
somewhere which ought to be frightened
The State and county collects 1925 PEI
annum where $50, 900 is actually due.
If, after citizen had discharged his OWL
obligations in the way of tax, by paying
his quota towards the support of the gov,
ernment, he could be released from paying
that which belongs to others to pay, tn,
case would be different. But when it il
taken into consideration that of the S4l ,OOC
still due for poll taxes more than S26
600 belongs to the county and would &C
towards liquidating the debt if paid, anC
when We consider that the latter sum i:
left over to another year to draw interes
and for the minority to pay who have al,
ready paid their part, the injustice of tho
thing is made the more apparent.
In the matter of property tax, but one in
seven of those who vote at elections are
assessed at ALL and a great many of thes.
are habitually delinquent. Such at least
is the state of things in this county. As a
general rule we can safely affirm that those
who are in business, ght-forward men,
who cannot dodge and would not if they
could, pay all the taxes, licences Except
Chinesc) property, poll taxes and all.
Had the county been properly assessed
in years gone by, and every man compel
led to pay his quota, the county debt
would never have had an existence. As it
is few are obliged to pay the interest and
principal Of others debts year alter year
for the privilege of living with a set of
sneaks. We submit that different state of
things should be inaugurated even at this
late day. Persons who will vote should
pay their taxes, and every man who derives
benefit from government ought to be
compelled to contribute to its support
We hope the Legislature just assembled
will proceed to take some step leading to
a recognition of the right to vote only on
condition of paying taxes of some kind
The next best thing is for the political cou-
ventions which will assemble during the
year, to regard the Office of assessor the
most important one in the comfy, and to
select such men rs will, without fear or fa-
yor, enforce the statutes for the collection
of all taxes justly chargeable on the inhab-
itants of the county. The matter of the
collection of poll taxes should in particu-
lar be more closely attended to.

u. 5. Senator.

The Legislature just organized will take
up, probably without delay, the election Of
U. S. Senator to fill the seat of Senator
Gwin. In the present crisis of national af-
fairs it is a momentous question who should
be selected to represent the State of Cali
fornia in the Senate of the United States.
Now, more than at any other time in the
history of our State, man who is every
inch man, and equal to any emergency
that may arise, is imperatiyely demanded to
go to Washington as U. S. Senator The
wants of the country and the crisis are
above all party considerations. The distinc-
tive principles of the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties are nothing when weighed in
the balance with the demands of the coun-
We hope the members of the California
Legislature will realize profoundly the
magnitude of the trust resting upon them
in the present emergency. There may be a
gentleman who, if unitedly supported by
the Republicans and Douglas men will tend
to consolidate the two parties into one for
future political triumphs. But however
willing we might be in ordinary times to
counsel such q coalition for policy sake, we
could not venture to advise it now unless
the man should be found to possess the
preeminent qualifications absolutely essen
tial to meet the issues of the day, and be a
man among men. A politician the country
might suffer in times of peace, but in the
| hour of strife we want calm, able and
heroic statesman. Is there such one in
the State? We sincerely hope the members
of the Legislature will forget the grovelling
objects of party and seek earnestly to find
the Senator we need. There are men who
would reflect honor on the State if partisan
bigotry could be overcome. lie who can
not at the present juncture of affairs find il
in his heart to lay aside prejudice for con-
sideration of the public veal is no patriot

Legislature will school themselves into {

RAsH.-Gen. Allen comes out and posi-
lively commits himself to the doctrines
promulgated in Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress. In these secession times we are
not quite sure that it would not have been
safvr to remain entirely non-committal a
while longer. We look with some trepi-
dation upon the rashness of the General
lust at this time. lie has not certainly, in
this particular, exhibited his usual Fabian
wisdom. Evidently, somebody has blum
dered, as was done in the charge OF the siA
hundred at Balaklava.

no other kind does his administration al

petuate it forever by going IN debt for
