MAIL ARRANGEMENTs.-The present mail
arrangements are not as good as they might
be made, and we trust the California Stage
Company and our Railroad Company will see
thut they are improved. This carrying the
mail by stage, through the mud from Marys-
vile when it might be delivered three or fours
sooner by railroad, it seems to us is wrong
We shall not pretend to decide who is at fault,
but it would greatly accommodate our business
community if an arrangement could be effected
which would deliver the Sacramento mail in
Orove at an earlier hour and more regularly.
We are not grumbling at anybody. We have
since the triumph of the Republican party,
and the stopping of our railroad at Roses
station, endeavored TO content ourselves with
matters and things as we may find them mere
ly hoping for and suggesting improvement
Marysyie is emphatically, we fear, a slow
coach town, aud may be stage struck" for
ought she can show to the contrary. If so,
both the railraod ard stage companies should
move away from there, the latter making their
principal Office at Roses station, and the for
mer connecting with the Central road at Lin>
coin, leaving Marysville a steamboat" town,
until she concluded to do something in the way
of building railroads. Badinage aside, how
ever, we trust some arrangement may be effect
ed which will place the mail in Oroyille at an
earlier hour
LEGISLATIVE The fifteenth session of the
California Legislature assembled at Sacramen
to on Monday. The first act performed by the
member was to visit Menken, the "most IN.
dressed actress that ever appeared on the
American stage. The next movement was
made by the Senator from Butte aud Plumas
IN the shape Of an attack on United States
Senator McDougal. condemuing the vote of
McDougal against the admission of the two
Senators from West Virginia, and demanding
his resignation The miserable puppets of
Coz .emptible lanaticism, knowing the chicane.
ry aud misrepresentation that has placed them
in power. ard fearing that the peohle will here
after repudiate them, are anxious to elect Nc
Douglas successor and will probably do so at
the present session. This is the ini.iatory
movemement TO that end. Whatever such
worthless specimens of Legislators as F. VI.
Smith ca do, will not impair McDougals
standing in California. He believes in resist
ing rebellion with all the power Of the gov
eenment, but has opposed the introduction Of
partisan politics into the conduct of the war
This constitutes bis sole oilence, whatever the
excuse of these FahdladeenS of the mighty
nigger may be- They hate McDougal with
all the bitterness that an ignorant fauaticism
ever felt for enghtend craftsmanship. Nc
Dougal was last winter condemned BY these
Republican savans for his French Mexican
resolutions which th1 more intelligent and res
pectable of the party now acknowledge was
right. But our Senator witnessed Mazappa
on Sunday evening, and inausura'ed the If
teenth session Of the California Legislature
with the war cry of '.Menken or McDougal -
