he what be may politically, he is a good
man, and we like him because he is good
We have demand for such men in our coun-
ty and our country, and though we opposed
his election for man who we thought was
equally as good, we award him this favor
able but only just comment with pleasure
Though this article may be getting tire
some, we cannot close without word for
Sergeant-at-Arms, Crutcher. We have
taken pains to inquire, and find it UNIVERSAL,
conceded that MIR. Crutcher has filled the
office of Sergeant-at-Arms of the Assembly
with greater ability, economy, and more
general satisfaction than it has been filled
for years. He has often been the subject
of eulogy from the members, for the very
able and prompt manner in which he has
dispatched the duties of bis office. Every
attempt at fraud or undue allowance in hi
department has been choked off in a min
ute.
In conclusion, we would say, however
much the people of Placer may feel dis"p-
pointed at the results of the recent session
of the Legislature, they cannot hold their
Representatives responsiis. For every
measure the people demanded they uniedy
worked from first to last to bring about.
And if unsuccessful the blame must be at
tached to dsgraceful coalition of Demo
Gratis and Republicans, and not to them.
TO that unnatural coalition all evil must lie
attributed, and that unholy, corrupt coal-
tion, honest reader, You will have to fgh'
in the future, if you wish to see you
country ruled by honest men.

CHINESE o. ESiiON.

Hager, our United States Senator, on the
23d ult presented the joint resolutions OF
the California Legislature instrucfing our
Senators and Representatives to use their
influence to have Articles five and Fix
of our Treaty with China modified so as TO
discourage further immigration of the long
tailed, moon-eyed heathens. Hager made
bis maiden speech in the Senate on this sub
ject and we join in the cry of the whole peo-
pie of this State in declaring he could no.
have selected subject of more importance.
Sargent, we understand, has completely
changed base on this subject, and is now
as far as the Chinese are concerned, in ac-
cord with the people. Whether Hager con
vered him or not. we 10 not know. Policy
sometimes compels men, as well as the Pl-
Ger argus, to turn wonderful somersaults
This subject, just now, is receiving compar
atively little attention from the press of ihie
State--thcre is no election near at hand
but it is said to be receiving more serious
attention in Congress than ever before.
If Congress would but turn its attention to
this important subject, ard by its power Sc
cure the abrogation or modification of the
Chinese Treaty, so as to prevent the fur
ther immigration of these heathens, the peo-
pie of California would be willing to forgive
it for many of the sins which it has com
mitted. With Hager in the Senate and
Lut rell in the honse there are hopes.
