sas, to succeed Senator Crozier, was
chosen Governor of the State in 1868
by the Republicans. He is still q

viable reputation as an incorruptible

cannot admit that he might not be a
blacksmith, preacher, or even an
editor, and be just as good man.

The State Senate and House now
each holds but one session per day,
in order to allow the committees
time " work. Over 200 bills have
been filed. Senator Mccormack
writes to his paper that:
In The House Mr.. Clark of our
county has presented several very
imporant bills, to-wit: One for an
act reducing the salary and per diem
Of members, officers and employees
of the General Assembly; one for an
act reducing the salaries Of State, Ju-
dicial and County Officers; one for
an act enabling any sub-district to
become independent by following
the law enabling towns or cities to
become Independent Districts; one
for arMct repeating section 1880 and
1884 OF the Code, relating to the com
pensation Of Superintendent OF Pub
lie Instruction, and for calling Teach
ers' Institutes.
Mr.. Breckenridge has also intro
dnced Several important bills, one for
the rereal of Section $50 OF the Code
which requires Road Supervisors
within ten days after receiving the
tax list to post the same, and to
amend Section 984 SO as to make il
the duty Of the Supervisor to notify
Taxpayers of the amount of road tax
due by each at the time he warns
the1pbut to work the road.
Very few bills of any general i'm
portance-some correspondents say
not one-have been passed by both
Houses and become law. Most Of
the work done has been merely pre-
liminary.
The committee on Agricultural
College investigation is actively at
work. The accountant employed
has discovered an apparent deficit Of
81, ,40S.58 in the accounts Of 1866 and
1868. He had not all the books be-
fore him, however, which it was nec-
essary to have in order to explain
the disbursements. A large umber
of witnesses have been or are to be
summoned; and even Mccormack
admits that there will be no white
washing.

A DISPATCH from Bakersfield, dated
April "a, says: Under Sheriff Hungate

O'Clock in the afternoon on the 21st,
Daniels who had been watching for a
favorable opportunity when James Bird.
ger, proprietor of the station stepped
out stole Bridger's pistol from behind
the bar, and after Bridger had returned
behind the bar with Hugh McGaffy,
Daniels drew the revolver cooked and
commanded them to hold up their hands.
telling them he intended to rob them
The Chinaman employed as cook hearing
noise appeared on the scene, and not
understanding Daniels command to sit
down, was instantly shot dead. He then
robbed Bridger of S45 and took Sc from
the dead Chinaman. Daniels then COM
pelled McGaffy to saddle horse for
him, then started towards Coyote Holes
station. Meeting an old prospector he
robbed him OF small amount, and a
little further on robbed teamster of
$40. MIR. Bridger in company with
John Durant started in pursuit, and
tracked Daniels within two miles of Cow
ote Holes station when he left the road
bearing to the right across the desert.
Darkness overtaking them they remained
there all night and resumed the search
the next day, and tracked Daniels to
Red Rock, where he had appeared at
10 o'clock the night before and drew his
pistol on Mr.. Seibert, who was, however,
too quick for Daniels and lodged into
the house, got his own pistol, and drove
Daniels away.

A RELIC oE Flush TTMEs.-The other
day J. Z. Patten, OF Bullionvile. showed
US number of the Marysville Herald
that was published August II, 1852 1t
Is curious to mark the changes and gaps
caused by the lapse Of time. In this old
relic We find the name Of Winfield Scott
as u candidate for President. Its news
columns speak of the funeral of Henry
Clay, which had just taken place; also of
speech by Daniel Webster at a grand
reception given him by the Wings at
Boston. How solemn seems the men
ton Of these great names now. They
sound like the PARKWAY echoes of hap
pier and u better epoch. when truth and
honesty was the golden rule which
guided the course OF public men. Turn
ing to pleasanter theme, in reading the
columns of the Herald, We find the
marks OF the flush, prosperous days of
California, when it poured n river of gold
into the lap Of commerce. We also find
many old famlier names. some of which
are still honored and fiourshing; others
are long since gathered to their fathers,
and others strayed off no one knows
where. These reminders of by-gone
times, though always interesting, and in
many respects pleasing, still give a
melancholy tinge to the thoughts, and
the dirge-like words sit might have

OFFICIAL ETHICS.

Alter Nesnith's securing in the House,
we imagine that Attorney General Will
liams wishes that landaulet and the
horses were in Jericho. Mr.. Williams,
like other officers Of the Government,
both high and low, will yet find out that
not only honesty is the best policy, in
the sense that keeps their fingers from
Il neighbors pocket or till, but in a more
enlarged and extended meaning; that
1t is hest in all official transactions to set
up high standard OF moral feeling, and
abide by il. Not TO allow even sus-
picion 10 be justly entertained OF any
thing but that the strictest and most
elevated standard Of ethics controls their
official acts. This used TO be the case,
and not very many years since. Is it not
possible to return to that elevated rule
of conduct that vas want to characterize
the transactions of public men? They
might err, nay. they did. They might
quarrel, be contentious, selfish or over
bearing. Tney might indulge 10 some
sensual vices, as drinking gambling,
etc. bat steal, never. Besides that, in
official life, there was IN unwritten, but
imperative law, that no man was to
allow himself to be placed in n position
in which it was possible that his
actions, though entirely guiItess,
might be misconstrued. Like the
law regulating trusteeship. that is so
jealous lest fraud might creep in that it
will not allow q trustee to assume n posi-
ton i'll which it is possible his interests
should become antagonistic to those
whom it is his duty to protect. So with
a public official or representative. A
true sense Of the responsibilities of his
position, of his duty to his constituents,
delicate sense of honor will always for
bid him taking share in undertakings
or interests. the due carrying out Of
which may possibly conflict with the in
terests OF those whom he represents, or
with the general duties of his post But
at the present day, what do we see? The
most logged, contemptuous indifference
to the principles we have spoken Of, and
not only that, but vicious snarl OF
anger. both from them and their journal
lstic adherents, if you dare attempt to
deprive them Of the mess OF pottage for
which they have sold their integrity and
their sacred honor.

THE Phoebe RECORD is seemingly de.
sirous Of seeing benefcient and necessary
measures enacted at the next session OF
our Legislature. II Reno State journal.
We not only seem to be desirious OF
legislation looking to the better regula-
ton Of revenue matters and thorough
revision of official fees and compensa-
ton, but intend to constantly and strenu-
ously advocate the pressing necessity for
an immediate aul efficient reform in
these matters. The average official of
the present day resembles, in many re-
spects, the celebrated Captain Wagge,
the moral agriculturst. They are too
apt to regard their positions as a field to
be cultivated, anl from which harvest
is to be gathered with the sole view to
increase the crop, without any regard to
the means employed to develope it. The
obligations Of. official duty, the sacred.
ness Of the charge committed to them,
becomes quite of secondary importance
to the one grand desideratum; How
much can be made" This is OF course
all wrong, il crime committed against
themselves anu society, but still they
will do it. This being an admitted fact,
the people have 6ut one way TO reform
these abuses, and that is to have the
laws 50 framed that, as O'Connel Il once
said, the rich and powerful cannot
drive coach and six through them. In
order to secure wise and efficient Iegisia-
ton, more care must be bestowed on the
selection Of the material of which legis-
ia:ors are composed. 1t will not DO to
pick up Tom, Dick or Harry, and send
them to the Legislature just because
they wan. to so. But select the best
and most reliable citizens, intelligent
men with knowledge of the wants Of
their constituency and the people at
large, who, moreover, have a set definite
purpose in view. The great trouble in
oil State Legislatures, as well as Con-
gress, is that measures are generally the
result OF mere haphazard or else of in
terest. This is the reason that the laws
are 50 frequently crude and ill digested,
or else have the effect OF enriching q
few individuals at the expense of the
community. All this ought to and can
be altered. The remedy lies with the
people themselves, and unless they take
sufficient interest in the public welfare,
to select, vote for and elect good men,
and those men are willing to and do
serve even at some little personal incon-
venience or expense, then it cannot but
he expected that the field that they re-.
fuse to occupy will be filed by the mer-
cenary and corrupt, whose only care is
for their own personal ends. 1t is no
use in people grumbling at high taxes
and official misconduct unless they bet
ter themselves. Till they do that, and
do it constantly and in good earnest,
they cannot hope for relief The cure
for the evil is in their own hands, and if
they do not use it, they have nobody but
themselves to blame.
