Paw of Judges.

We NJ heartily indorse the views expressed
BY our NE ghbor of the Union on the subject OF
liberal salaries for our Judges. 1t is poor econo-
my in any country to cut down Judges sala-
ries to figure that renders the position contempt
lille to Lawyers of ability, and as consequence
fills the Bench with class of "Tombs lawyers"
who are unable to make decent living at the
practi , of their profession. Still more import
ant is tor new State like this, where all is
new, where precedent" is ont of the question:
and for many years there must OF necessity be
vast amount of what is known as judicial legisla'
ton Instead of following precedent, our Judges
will have to make precedent, for the governance
of Courts in future Most vitality important is it,
then. that our earlier tribunals shall be presided
over by men of integrity and the highest order OF
regal talent. Such men we have among u.s. but
their practice il extensive and highly remunera-
tive. 1t is not to be expected that, for the mere
honor, they will abandon their lucrative practice
and assume the laborious and deeply studious
duties of the bench for any fSs inducement than
that offered by liberal SALARY; and that Will, Id
a measure, if not quite recompense them for the
certain income which they will be compelled to
abandon.

The Old Story.

When men make love to other peoples wives,
(Which is decidedly wrong, TO say the least) they
ought to be careful how they address their little
billydoux," lest they fall into the hands Of the
husband of the lady. An acquaintance of ours
arrived here yesterday, from one of the mountain
towns Of California and he related to MS n case of
this kind which happened recently. son Of Vul-
can residing in the city Of Placerville, had been
carrying on a sly correspondence with the wife
of another son of Vulcan, residng over the hills
on the Divide, in the county of PLAYER. The
last letter written by the gay Lothario at Placer
willie to the lady, unfortunately fell into the hands
of the husband. at the Post Office OF course he
felt in duty bound to read his wife's letters;
and opening the epistle, found his better half
addressed in most endearins terms, such as My
dearest" etc, ETC. So, going strafshtway to his
home he informed his wife that he had letter
from -, which he wished to read to her, and no
sooner said than done, (the wife trying to get pos
session of the lovely epistle) He eoolly Informed
her that as she seemed to be so deeply in love
with her paramour, he was willing that she should
"yamose the ranch" and so to live with the man
Of her choice. She promptly answered him that
she would if he gave her money to pay the ex-
penses of going to Placervine. The husband &c
cordingly "pungled" and the poor deluded woman
took her two children, and actually left her home
When she arrived at Plaeerville, the man who
was the cause of the unhappy separation, dis
rarded the woman, or, in other words he threw
her off, and now disgraeed and scoffed at, she
I. r., ly
lived, hoping, perhaps, to again become reconciled
to her former husband We expect too. that she
will make the rifle" for It is dificult to tel
which is the biggest fool, shs man or the woman.
Beware of Intermediates in family affairs!

and of course can afford to do work at less cost
than steam mills, which have to pay sl4 per cord
for fuel. We do not consider 1t very good work,
however to eliminate but 60 per cent OF the pre-;
cious metals, and believe that the Potosi Company
would do as well, If not better, to have Its ore
crushed at the steam mills and receive all the
metals which they may take ont of it. 1t would
undoubtedly exceed 60 per cent.
