HAIGHT's Inaugural Address is pompous,
long winded, egotistical production, reading
more like fourth of July Grafton than any,
thing else. A considerable portion of it is
devoted to the Reconstruction measures of
Congress, the negro, etc., to which he is
"conservatively" opposed. We think Haight
will make good Governor. He isn't smart
enough to be a rogue, and knows too much
to be imposed upon.

A VALUABLE PUBIIcATIoN.-An Illustra-
ted History of the Holy Bible,'' being a
connected account of the remarkable events
and distinguished characters contained in
the Old and New Testaments and in Jewish
History during the four hundred years be-
tween the time of Malachi and the Birth of
Christ, including also the lives of Christ and
his Apostles, embracing an Historic Period
of four Thousand Years, with critical, typo
graphical and explanatory notes, the work
of that profound and exhaustive student of
Biblical Literature, John Kitto, D. D. ST.
S. A, has been brought to our notice by Mr..
Geo. Russell Powers, agent for the publish
ers in Calaveras County. 1t is book devoid
of sectarian bias and one which every family
should possess, being full of interest and
instructive information for both young and
old, and enlivened by over one hundred
engravings and colored maps. The name of
DIR. kitto is a synonym for patient and
laborious research, he having spent over
twenty five years in the study of ancient and
rare manuscripts sacred and profane, besides
passing three years of travel in the Holy
Land. The work contains over seven hun
dred royal octave pages and is sold only by
subscription the agent will call upon the
residents of this county with an abstract,
giving a complete idea of the binding, ty-
biography. illustrations and general contents
of the book. We have subscribed, and
would say unto our neighbor ''go thou and
do likewise!" For the purpose of facilitating
subscriptions Qest any living in remote
places should be omitted) parties desiring to
subscribe, by enclosing their names and
places of residence to the agent, Mr.. Geo.

CHRONICLE.
MOkELUMNE HILL:
SATURDAY, DECEMBER "A, 1867

Our DELEGATIoN.-On Monday last. Hon.
D. L. Morrill,, Senator from this county,
gave notice Of his intention to introduce a
Bill "relative to the salary of certain officers
in Calaveras county" We are not informed
what the provisions of the Bill are to be, nor
whether the salaries referred to will be aug
mented or decreased. On the same dav Hon.
o. Mentzell, in the Assembly, gave notice ola
Bill "Abolishing the Office of Township Tax
Collector and Assessor" in this county; also
an Act establishing the office of County
Assessor in Calaveras" That the cost of
assessing and collecting under the present
system is much greater than by the one pro-
posed by Mr.. Mentzell is very true; but
whether the amount saved by the abolish
ment of the Office of Township Collector
would be sufficiently great to justify the
deposing of those who ran for that Office in
good faith and have been elected is an open
question. The affairs of this county GER
tainly call for retrenchment and reform. We
are enormously in debt, and the revenue is
not sufficient to pay current expenses. Some
thing to ameliorate our financial condition
must be done, or hopeless bankruptcy will
soon be overtaken. If the adjustment of
the Office of Township Collector is but pre-
2iminary step towards thorough reforma-
ton, we are in favor of it; but if nothing
further in that direction is intended to be
done, we are opposed to the measure. Hon.
Isaac Aver has also given notice of Bill in
relation to the revenue, but we are not &C.
quainted with the details of the Act. We
are glad that the members of our delegation
are turning their attention to local affairs.

CORRECTION. Last week we published
"card'' from the Phoenix Insurance Com
pany in relation to the false reports in cir
culation concerning its losses by the recent
fire IN Copperopolis. Since then, certain
suits which have been commenced in the
Fourth District Court by Mr.. Kelley, pro-
prietor of the hotel in that place, against the
companies by whom he was insured, have
developed the fact that no risk on the build
ing had been taken by the "Home Mutual"
as the "card' stated, but that it was the
Manhattan" instead. We re-publish the
-"card" this week corrected. The statement
which certain parties have taken pains to
circulate, to the effect that the "Phenix'' had
refused to pay the loss it sustained by the
destruction of Kelley's Hotel, has no founda-
ton in truth whatever. That Company had
no risk on the building. The only policy
holder in the phoenix who sustained loss
by the fire, was Mr.. Braids, and by reference
to his card it will be seen that his claim for
damages was equitably adjusted and prompt
ly paid. The "Phenix'' is one of the few
companies which have refused to enter into
the "San Francisco combination" and which
continue to do business on safe and relia-
BILE basis. The "PhGnix' is one of the
oldest and most firmly established insurance
mediums in the United States, and those
who wish to guard against loss by fire, will
consult their interest by obtaining a policy
in the "old Phoenix rather than in any of
the mushroom" companies which have re-
Gently sprung up so rapidly in San Fran

Selling a ''Subiect."

A man sitting one evening in an house,
thinking how to get provision for the next
day, saw a fellow dead drunk upon the oppo,
site bench.
''Do you not wish to get rid of this sot ?"
eaid he to the landlord.
81 do, and half crown shall speak my
thanks" was the reply.
"Agreed," said the other; "get me a
sack"
A sack was procured and put over the
drunken guest. Away trudged the man with
his burden, till he came to the house of no.
ted resurrectionist, at whose door he knock
ed.
''Who's there ?" said voice from within.
Il have brought you a subject" replied
the man $50 come, quick, give me my fee"
The money was Immediately paid, and the
sack with its contents deposited in the sur
gerry. The motion of quick walking had
nearly recovered the poor victim, who, before
the other had been gone two minutes, en-
deavOred to extricate himself from the sack.
The purchaser, enraged at being thus outwit-
ted, ran after the man who had deceived him,
eOlIared him, and cried out
''Why, you dog, the mans alive ~
"Alive!' said the other; $50 much the
BETTER kill him when you want him.
