DEPARTURE.

Town G0vERNMENT.-lu huotueI coi-
umn will be found some extracts from
the Eureka Sentinel, which states that
the proposed town government of that
bnreh has been declared illegal by the
District Court. The Sentinel also says
in an editorial, that it believes that the
rejoicing at the failure was almost unan-
imous. The lax and expensive manner
that the municipal affairs Of mountain
towns have generally been managed,
both in this State and California, leads
neople TO dread repetition Of the same
,mpudept course. People feel that they
are governed too much, that they never
unit having, and yet never get what they
1ant really economical and business
like administration OF public affairs. As
a burnt child breads the fire, the citizens
of n mining town, with the future en-
tirely dependent on the continued pros
perify of the mining interests scattered
within and around them, are loath to
add any expense to that which is already
felt to be as heavy as can be borne. An
economical town government is NO doubt
a convenience. Streets can be cleaned,
q proper police force employed, and
other arrangements can be made, which
are very convenient and yet costly. So
a community that is not in positively
GOOD circum stances and fair prospect
of a permanent future, may hesitate long
and not unreasonably before it incurs
greater liabilities. We suppose this
feeling prompted the citizens of Eureka
to oppose their new government, and
under the circumstances this action is
not to be wondered at.
By AucTIoN.-We were yesterday talk
ing viii an old and esteemed friend upon
the matter of candidates for public off,
ces, and be proposed novel mode of
selection that struck us as SO comical
that we thought we would make note
ont" He said the best way, as matters
have got to such pass that it took SO
much money to get such an Office, was
to put them up at auction and sell them
to the highest bidder. Our friend said
that the man who put the most money
in 1.-THE place where it would do most
good" always got the place; the best
thing to be done was to call things by
their right names, and just sell the Office
for so much for such period and put
the money in the county treasury, and
so benefit the county instead of democrat
izipg its citizens by bribing or humbug-
gipg them. We cannot indorse our
friends plan, but as it had the merit of
originality, we thought we would publish
it, as a somewhat severe though not un.
deserved structure upon the mode aud
manner that the selection, nomination
and election Of candidates are frequently
conducted.
BUSINESS in the town seems to havs
been slightly stimulated by the fine
weather, and the stores have been more
frequently visited by those pleasant call
ers on man of business, paying buyers.
We are glad to note the slightest improve
ment, and advise oil 20 keep their cour-
age, for there is good time coming
yet" though We fear they will have TO
wait little longer"
