that L heard in the south part of the county
during the early part of this week. heard
that an OK strayed away from that section

residents here slaughtered the poor beast,

beef. Now, my dear sir. this "all'' includes

WILD.-The Stockton Independent propos-
es that Congress pass a law allowing the
Governors of States to appoint Members for
the Fortieth Congress, where they have not
been elected. Unfortunately for such plan
the Constitution of the United States says,
Article l, Section 2, 1.-The House of Repre-
sentatives shall be composed of members
chosen every second year by the people of the
several States. Bee.
The Stockton Independent is one of those
terribly economical sheets which oppose the
calling of an extra session of the Legislature
for the reason that it would cost the State
few thousand dollars. The manner in which
1t proposes to secure us representatives in the
Fortieth Congress is certainly a novel, if not
feasible one. The idea that Governors of
States have right to appoint Members of
Congress is simply ridiculous, and we are as
tonished that the Independent should advance
SO foolish theory. II must have ECONOMY
on the BRAIN There are but two methods
by which we can secure representation Con-
gress can delegate power to the Governors
OF the unrppresented States to call special
elections to fill the vacancies; if they refuse
to do this, which in the present instance they
have already done, the course left for us to
pursue, is, for the Governor to convene a
special session of the Legislature, which body
can change the time of holding the Congress
sional election. 1t is now entirely optional
with Governor Low whether we shall be
represented in the next Congress or not. If
we are to have an extra session, it should be
called Immediately, as thirty days notice of
its meeting has to be given.

SINCE it is now pretty generally conceded
that printers are human beings, and that the
section of the Constitution which declares
that " life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness are the inalienable rights of mankind, I"
refers to them the same as to other folks, we
think the only apology necessary for the pau
city of reading matter in this weeks paper
is, to remind our readers that these are the
Christmas holidays, and that we, in common
with the balance of mankind, have been ex-
tensively engaged in the pursuit of happi
ness" Our record will show that our search
has been tolerably successful. We have at
tended wedding, been twelve or fifteen
miles to ball, taken a lesson at Church
and Jones dancing academy, and had hi
larious time generally. Were we not glad,
though, to receive " Rs" and "Old Fogy's"
communications They were Godsends. II
either of those gentlemen should ever unfor-
tunately be compelled to edit paper, and we
can assist them in any manner, we shall be
extremely happy to do so. Next week we
shall try to come down =" to our work again

| The following remarks in relation to the
calling of an extra session of the Legislature
this Winter, we extract from an article IN the
Folsom Telegraph of last week. The press
OF this State, as general thing. have MAIN
tanned a singular reticence in regard to this
important matter. and the Telegraph is about
the only paper which has taken decided
stand on the question. As its editors views
on this subject agree with our own, and cor
respond with those we have advocated, we
take the liberty of republishing portion of
his article
At this time the Governor has no au-
thority to order an election, and there are
but two sources from which he can obtain
it. One is from Congress, by the passage of
law ordering him to call an election, which
it is reasonable to suppose will not be passed.
The other is from the Legislature of this
State. Last Winter the Legislature passed
law putting off the Congressional election
until next Fall, when the general election for
State officers takes place. By doing this
they saved the State the expense of a State
election the past Fall for members of Con-
gress, when no other officers were to be elect
ed. This Is the present aspect of the matter.
The Governor can call the Legislature togeth-
er for this purpose, thirty days notice must
be given. The Legislature can pass the law
ordering an election-this can be done in Il
| week, at the outside, after they organize
The Governor can then issue his proclama-
ton ordering the election for members of
Congress. This will require an additional
thirty days time. allowing all the time re-
quired. California can have her representa-
ton on the floor Of Congress by the middle
of March or the first of April, by re-electing
the present delegation. if new members
are elected, the first of May.
The Marysville appeal and several other
papers take the snme view of the matter, and
it seems to be the only proper one that can
be taken. The-press will have to discuss the
matter, and there will be but short time to
do it in. The Legislature must give the Gov
ernor the authority to call an election, or
California will be unrepresented there is
no other alternative. If the Legislature is
called together they can pass the law, adopt
the Constitutional amendment and close the
session in ten days. This will be attended
with some expense to the State but few
Paltry dollars have no right to a moments
consideration at the present time, when the
condition of national affairs requires every
Union member of Congress at his post of du-
ty. California should always be represented
in Congress at all times, to guard the inter-
ests of the Pacific Coast. The Democratic
press will oppose a special election at all
events, because of the cost, and because it
Will be Union measure. But this is to be
expected. The cost of the war has been the
burden of their song from the time of the
appropriation of the first dollar to put down
the rebellion, and will be SO until the ques
ton of reconstruction is permanently settled

sponsible for every dollar spent, and life lost

The BALL AT CAxro sEco.-On Monda,

The BALL AT CAMPo SEco.-On Monday
last. in company with our friend Deputy
Sheriff Matthews and his fair bride, to whom
he had that morning been united in the holy
bonds of wedlock. and accompanied by one
of earth's loveliest daughters-one whose
beauty and accomplishments are proverbial
we attended the ball at Campo Seco. The
day, notwithstanding the joyous event which
was celebrated in its morning, was ANYTHING
but pleasant. The sky was overcast with
dark, heavy clouds, and the rain fell without
the least apparent exertion. If, as some i'm
aginative people suppose, rain is ''tears wept
by angels" Monday last was sorrowful day
in heaven. The roads, to say tie least. were
muddy; in fact If we should say they were
detestable, we should not be guilty of SLAM
der. Notwithstanding these serious obsta-
eles to rapid driving. however, the splendid
teams furnished us by Messrs. Peek & Co.
were so ambitious that we soon got tired of
trying to hold them, and in an hour and
half from the time we left Mokelumne Hill
we were snugly ensconced in the elegant par
lor of the Hooker House. The ball, although
not so largely attended as it would have
been had the weather been pleasant, was a
very nice. agreeable party, and those who
were present appeared to enjoy themselves
hugely. The armory of the Campo Seco
Union Guards, in which the dance was held,
is one of the largest and most elegant halls
In the county, and being handsomely and
tastefully decorated, brilliantly illuminated
and well filed with "fair women and brave
men," presented very gay and lively ap-
pearance. Dancing commenced at eight
o'clock and continued without intermission
until twelve, when the guests proceeded to
the Phoenix Hotel. and partook of the best
supper, without exception, to which we ever
sat down. Mr.. & Mrs. Syme the host and host
ess of the " Phenix," have acquired an en-
viable reputation for giving the most elegant
and recherche suppers to be had in the coun-
ty, and the emagnifcent one which they spread
before their guests on Monday evening last,
fully sustained their credit. After doing
justice to the tempting viands, all returned
to the hall, dancing was resumed and kept
up until an early hour in the morning when
the pleasure-seekers departed well satisfied
with their evenings entertainment. There
is no use in saying anything about the mu-
sic; it would be entirely superhuous. Our
poor pen is inadequate to the task of describ-
ing the thrilling deliciousness of its harmony.
The names of the performers-Church & Jones
is sufficient guarantee that it was all that
could be desired. The floor managers were
obliging and attentive, the arrangements for
the comfort and convenience of the guests
were perfect, and nothing to interrupt the
festivities occurred. After indulging in
few hours refreshing sleep, we embarked for
home where we arrived safe and sound, much
pleased with our trip to Campo Seco.

As our readers are aware, the gay lotha-
rio was dexteriously captured by Capt. Sim
mons, o. s. Deputy Marshal, just as he
was leaving the post Office, after having
called for his mail under his chosen Glias.
He was living here in fine style, and was
exceedingly indignant at being arrested
like q common criminal.
The Times has the following account Of
his arrival at that city:
Constable Miller arrived here yesterday
from Cleveland with the gay Doctor who
was wearing a pair of riveted bracelets. He
was taken before Squire Powers, who at
once committed him to Jail in default OF
$1,000 bail for his appearance on Saturday:
We understand that there is a charge OF
forgery and embezzlement pending against
the Doctor, preferred by a physician, who,
it is stated, alleges that Ong forced his
name to receipts, and received and pocket
ed the money.
