LEGlsLATIvE--On Tuesday Senator
Harvey introduced a bill in the Senate
for "an act to amend an act in relation
to publit roads in the county of Ell Dora

What its provisions are we are unable to
state, not having received a copy Of the
bill. In the House, Mr.. Sanderson "pre-
serted petition from citizens Of El Do
RADIO county, asking for the relief Of D.
W. Stamford. a Deputy Tax Collector,
for the loss Of $4,000 Chinese poll tax,
stolen from safe in El Dorado" IF
every man who has money stolen from

NOT MUCu TO lIoPE FoR IN THE Future.
Nearly two years Of radical rule have
left men lItrle scope for congratulation-no
much to hope for in the future Of freedom.
The necessity that is claimed to authorize
I the aggres>ioRs Of TO day may be called
up to justify the dcSpot!sin Of to. moi orrow;
and there is no limit to the incursions of
arbitrary power. The first invasion of
constitutional law is the knel Of freedom.
Because men have not been sufficiently
alive to danger, and watchful enough of
their rights, is the reason why the world
has dragged out centuries in chains, and
the glorieS of freemen have been trampled
in the dust. BY permitting the Admin.
istration to deprive US of our liberties,
withOVha WORD Of remonstrance or effort
to maintain them. we riyet the chains Of
bondage upon those who are to come af.
ter US. We show ourselves unworthy
the priceless heritage bequeathed to US by
our patriotic fathers. Radicalicalism
must be put down, or we must make up
our minds to surrender our liberties to
arbitrary rulers, who respect no law and
tolerate no opposition to their unbridled
passions. This is the only alternative
left to American freemen.

BALTIMORE, October ga large meet

Judge Kelly announced himself to the

received with applause. This is the first
instance of a Republican Congressman
speaking in the slave region of Maryland,
and Judge Kelly's reception was most

What Douglas Said.

No better maxims for the guidance of
patriotic Democrats can be found any
where than those which sparkle like gems
among the later speeches and letters Of
Douglas. Take for instance the following:
Patriotism emanates from the heart, fills the
soul. infuses itself into the whole man, and
sneaks and acts the same language. A friend
of his country in war will feel, speak, and act
for his country, revere his countrys cause, and
hate his country's enemies. America aoaats no
friends, acknowledges the FaeAty Of no citizen,
Of her cause and sympathises aoih the enemy. AN
such are traitors IN their hearts.

"a woman is always at the bottom of
trouble" You remember the story of Shah
of Persia. When he was told that a work.
ing man had fallen from ladder, he called
out:
"Who is she9 who is shea"
please your majesty, it's he."
"Nonsense!" said the Shah. uTbara.
never an accident without a woman: who is
she?"
The Shah was right; the man had fallen
from his ladder because he was looking at =
woman in window. Many man does that
in other countries besides Persia.

Mr.. Speaker: The delegation from the Coun-
ty of Placer, to whom was referred Senate Bill
No 35l, an Act relating to the election of Dis
trict Tax Collectors and Assessors in Placer
county, have considered the same and n majority
of them having recommended the passage of the
original bill, the minority respectfully dissents
from said report, and submits herewith certain
amendments, and recommends the passage of the
Bill as amended. By the passage Of Senate Bill
No. 22, =" An Act concerning officers" this Legis-
lature has cut short the term of the present in
cumbents of every County and District Revenue
officer in the County of Placer, ONE YEAR. Sen
ate Bill No. 351, reported and recommended ms
above by the majority-M essrs Blanchard and
Yule-has for its object the reinstatement of all
the District Revenue officers to the full term for
which they were elected and ignores the County
officers elected at the same time and for the same
term of Office. The minority believe that if there
is any justice, reason, necessity" or expedency
in the action proposed by the majority, to rein
state for the full term for which they were elected
the District Revenue officers, the same Justice.
reason, " necessity" and expediency requires and
demands that the same rights shall be granted to
the County officers who were elected at the same
time and for the same term of Office.
The amendments submitted by the minority
proposes to retain in Office the County, as we'll as
the District Revenue officers for the full term for
which they were alike elected and by providing
for an election for County officers at the general
election in 1864, the alleged object of Senate Bill
No. Pa uniformity in the terms of office will
be hereafter attained and the minority appeal to
the Assembly in behalf of great majority of the
voters of the County of Placer, to respect the
wishes of that majority expressed at the ballot
box at the late election and further that no ia
grant, unjust and unprecedented discrimination,
such as is proposed by the majority will be suf-
1ered to be recorded on the Statutes of the State
