fine place" is now the county seat of Gala

Hillites secede: and if so, would they be
satisfied with Jackson for their seat of Gov
ernments San Andreas is nine miles of,
with bad road Jackson only five. and a
good one, and then would they not prefer to

Much obliged to you, friend Springer, for
your sympathy-just as much as though we
needed it. We think we shall survive the
shock OF the loss of the county seat. We
rather like your proposition to annex our

to look sharp or we will play San Andreas

The next morning. Thursday, several of
the county officers telegraphed to this place
that they had been served with the writ. A
large number of wagons we at once dispatch

Register.
We thought that the teams came for the
records, and not after the county officers
The Register says "when the teams nrrived
nobody was ready to CO." Did they expect
to find the county property packed up. and
the officials with their legs tied, like parcel
oe chickens, and deputation of our citizens
anxiously awaiting the appearance of the
jerkers, to assist them in their labor of love:
The property subject to removal was in the
court house, the Offices were all OPEN. the
writ had b. en- served, and nothing remained
for them to do but to load their wagons with
plunder and "git," without stopping to en-
quire whether the Board of Supervisors had
accepted the new county buildings or not.
But that would not do. The doug ty repre-
sentative of the Supreme Court must have
chance to try his hand at mandamusing. As
it is not often that he has an opportunity of
exercising his unlimited powers. it would
have been positively cruel to have denied
him the privilege of astonishing the natives
by displaying his unbounded authority. The
great man was regarded with awe by our un-
sophisticated citizens.

SPEAKING of the county seat question, the
Register says:
1t has been long. severe and unpleasant
contest, such one as we have no desire ever
again to be mixed upin. But having seen
the thing through. and finally disposed of,
we can exclaim as one of old, Now lettest
thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine
eyes have seen thy salvation
The poor fellow says he don't wish to get
so mixed up again. We don't blame him.
1t is dangerous. 1t was only by a scratch
that he got out of the fog this time. IF b;s
muoaiea BRAN ever gets ''mixed up" again
ne is soner. He says his eyes have seen
salvation. May be they have; but the
overburdened Taxpayers have not seen tha,

An Extra aesaion.

The recent elections held in Maine, Ner-
mont. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and Iowa
prove conclusively that the masses North
endorse the Constitutional Amendment sub
mitted by the seth Congress to the separate
States for their concurrence. The Constitu
ton requires atwo-thirds vote by Congress,
before an amendment TO it can be referred to
the people, and then. its adoption by three
fourths of the States before it becomes part
of the organic law of the land. That the
States whose elections come off in November
will sustain the Amendment, there is hardly
shadow of a ooubt. If tie adherents of
"My Policy" had ever show of success. 1t
has been dissipated by the late elections and
the tour of the President through the West
The North will never consent to allow trail
tors and secessionists to again get control of
the Government. 1t required too much blood
and treasure to suppress the rebellion for US
to give up our hard earned victory to South
crn politicians. In order to make the pro-
posed Amendment valid, twenty-seven States
must sanction it, that number being three
fourths of all. Tennessee has already adopt
ed it. and thus far all of the loyal States
whose Legislatures have been in session,
have followed suit. At the next regular
meeting of the Legislatures of those States
which hold annual sessions the Amendment
will be passed. The copperheads of Califor-
MIA are anxious to have another election, with
this Amendment as an issue before tie people
before we take action upon it. hoping thereby
to be able to defeat it, while some Union
men, who wish to avoid the expense of an
extra session and perhaps are secretly in
league with the enemy, oppose the convening
of the Legislature this winter. Every loyal
State should take decided stand at once,
for numbers give force to influence, and
strengthen the weak and wavering. If Ma
ryland, Delaware and Kentucky. once slave
holding States, were alone in their opposition
the pressure would be too great for them to
withstand. allowing that all the other loyal
States had preceded them in the adoption of
the Amendment. But if they could refer to
California, and say it required her vote, what
answer would be givens Why, that she was
loyal. and if it was necessary she would swell
the list. Still there Is always doubt until
a proposition has been fully demonstrated,
and in order that there should be no doubt
and that our influence should at once be ex-
erted, an extra session of the Legislature
should be called to meet at Sacramento on
the first Monday in December. Ina young
and growing State like ours there is always
more or less legislation required annually,
and anything imperative could be done this
winter. The Legislature need not be in ses-
sion more than thirty or forty days in order
to accomplish all that may be required of it.
Until '64-'5 we had annual sessions, which
always had sufficient business to keep them
employed during the constitutional limits.
Many of the old States still have annual ses-
sions. and we think it would be better poll
cy for California to have short annual ses-
sions than long one, as at present, once in
two years.

until quite recently to what cause they owed
the removal of the county seat. When
Byrnes. the porter of the Supreme Court was
in town, he graciously condescended, at the
special request of some of our most promi-
nent citizens, to partake of sundry fluids
which are usually kept in every well regu-
lated hotel. After enjoying the hospitalities
of his admiring companions for some ,ime
the stern dignity and lofty bearing which he
at first so well maintained, and which was
SO eminently becoming for an important at
tache of an august tribunal, gradually wore
away and he became 81 eetly communicative
Then it was that he made the startling an
nouncement that He had always been In

How THE MONEY GoEs.-A careful exam
ination would develop an expenditure on the
part of our people, says the San Francisco
Gail, for the purpose of developing the mines
outside of the State, absolutely alarming. In
looking over some figures, touching this bu-
siness, we find that thirteen mines-twelve
in the State of Nevada, and one in Mexico
have cost the people of this State, in the
shape of assessments, the nice little sum of
$4.225,350! And there has been nothing in
the shape of metal to show for this enormous
expenditure of treasure, beyond few silver
buttons and probably $4,000 worth of sill
yer bricks To be sure, the mines we refer
to have been the most expensive of those
which have been worked and yielded nothing
But vhen we take into consideration that
there was something like two hundred other
mines, with companies organized, the stocks
of which were assessed all the way from ten
to one hundred dollars per foot, not dollar
of which has been returned, we will find that
the people of this Stete have thrown away
fully SlO,000,0 upon mines located far be-
yond its borders. And this sum does not
include the losses in time, money, goods, SC.
wasted in wild goose chases after wealth.
