PRESIDENT MAKING.

Public men are often cursed with very
oyor-zealous friends-sunshine ones. That
is what is ailing Booth, and poor Haight
died of the same disorder. When by a
lucky scratch the last named gentleman
was elected Governor of this State, he
was looked up too by some of his Demo-
cratic followers as little god, who had
but TO command thing and he was obey
cd. In turn these sunshine chaps elected
poor Haight to Congress, to the Senate,
and finally it was declared eXultingly
that California would name President.
But poor Haight got a set back and the
good qualities which had commended him
so highly that no office in the gift OF
the people was out of his reach, dis
appeared when he no longer had the pros
tige Of success. a new star had risen in
the political armament and those who
had bent the knee in aduaton of II. IL.
ii. ran 10 pay their devotion to the rising
luminary. Haight was thought Of no
longer except, we believe, it was at one
time proposed to use linn as a tail to
Booths Senatorial kite. Booth is now 60
ing throu yh tie same ordeal as his PIE
dec }ssor so far as being made President
is conccrrol. He has the melancholy
salts action of seeing his name in some
papers in connection with that place and
that is all. BY the time Presidential
election comes around, Booth will have
got down to his natural level, and of the
toadying newspapers, there will be "none
so poor as DO IN reverence"

sAEGENT S LAND HILL.

The bill of Senator Sargent defining
swamp" land, Las reused the land
grabber's ling into more than its wonted
activity, and Mr.. Sargent is coming in
1ur full measure of abuse at their hands,
both in the legislature and through their
newspaper organs. AS usual when it is
deemed desirable to make point for or
against any measure, the cry Of railroad
is raised, aud the anti-railroad sentiment
of tho press and people invoked, to bring
their influence to bear TO the defeat of a
measure which, examined upon its merits
alone can bear the closest scrutiny.
Our Legislative correspondent gives an
interesting synopsis of the debate in the
Assembly on Kercheval's resolution in
opposition to Mr.. Sargonts bill. We in
vite attention to it as the subject is one OF
State importance.

SATURDAY. JANUARY "a, 1874.
LEGISLATIVE APPoRTIoNMENr.

In eur last issue our legislative cores
pondent quoted from Senator Evans
Apportionment bill the section which re-
fcrs TO the place Trinity county will oc-
cupy. BY the bill this county is joined
with Humboldt, Klamath and Del Norte
rs Senatorial District, and with the last
two named counties in representation in
the lower House. We cannot, of course,
expect that our county with its decreased
population will retain a representative
for itself alone, but the arrangement pro-
posed is by no means satisfactory. Be
tween this county and the Others named
there is but little community Of interests,
and very little communication Of any
kind. During that portion of the year
whea the legislature is in session, COM
Iaunication is almost wholly cut off be-
tween this county and those named in
conjunction with the Assembly represen-
taton. This county is devoted almost
wholly to mining, while in the other
three, with the exception Of a part OF
klamath, mining is but an incidental
pursuit.
In the session Of lS7l-72, an appor-
tionment bill was under consideration by
which Shasta and Trinity were joinod to-
gcther in an Assembly District, while
Sskiyou was added for Senatorial repre-
sentation. With this bill, we believe the
people of ell three Of the counties were
satisfied. The natural outlet of both Sis
kyou and Trinity is through the terrific
tory of Shasta. The three are already
joined together for judicial purposes, and
direct communication between the county
seats of the three counties is practicable
at all seasons of the year. This arrange
ment would suit us much better than the
one proposed by Senator Evans bill. II
is trus that the four counties named III
the Evans bill are joined together geo
graphically, but the almost insurmount-
able barrier presented by the high mount
aims of the Coast Range, separates thi.
county from those on the Coast as effect
ually as hundreds OF miles Of more leyoI
country could do.
