SENATOR TINNIN's BILL. - Senator
TinnIn has, we see by glancng over the
Legislative proceedings, introduced bill
giving the right of the elective franchise
to the children Of white fathers and In
dian mothers. We have no clue TO the
contents, further than what is shown
by the title, but presume it is based on
that article Of the Constitution of Cali
fornia authorizing the Legislature to con
fer this right in such special cases as it
may deem just. The bill was referred to
the Senate judiciary Committee and we
hope that body will not allow any mo-
tives of petty prejudice to sway it, but
admit the justice OF the proposition and
recommend its passage to the Senate
In any event the introduction OF this will
be apt to settle the mooted question us to
whether the political status of this class
of people was affected by the adoption of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments, or not, some inclining to the be-.
left that such is the case. Such ques.
tions as this are but questions of time
and it would be the height of injustice to
delay granting to those born on our soil,
natural to our language, imbued with the
knowledge and spirit of our institutions,
and every way desirous of rising above
TIE circumstances of birth and advancing
in the scale of social recognition, the
same rights which are granted to nearly
every people Of the hab.table globe. The
principe involved in the bill is found
ed in justice and should prevail,

Of that county, John Travis. lie is an
Austrian, who settled there four years
since and had by working for wages ac-

the rescued, fve being drowned. Then
came the search for the lost treasure but
il could not be found. Travis then count

to take him on home, or bring him back
to California. And back he came and is
now again miner in Amador.

TRANSFER PICTURES. - The decorations on
carriages, buggies, sleighs, furniture, boxes
etc., and other painted surfaces, often show
the most delicate artistic skill and the ques-
tion arises, how are such views and ornaments
placed there without great expense? Inc
cheapest articles are frequently covered with
bits of landscape or floral decorations that
could not be painted by hand without inereas-
ing the value of the articles. The secret Is,
these paintings are transferred to the articles
adorned by process called Decalcomanle. !,
When the method was first discovered hlgh
prices were charged for the transfer pictures;
and also for teaching the art, so that few could
afford to purchase. Recently, however, dear
ers have reduced the rates so that snow these
pictures can be obtained at comparatively low
cost. J. l.. Patten " Co., 1872 William street,
New York, are large dealers in these goods.
For the small sum of ten cents they Will senu
complete instructions with catalogue and ten
specimen pictures, to any one who wishes 10

DIyoRCEs.-Senator Pierson has in
iroluccd a bill amending the divorce
law; providing that adultery alone shall
he a cause for divorce. The Senator's
bill shou d be defeated. There are other
causes which should be equally strong
grounds for divorce with the one be has
singled out. Men and women seeking
marriage are apt to ''put the best foot
foremost" to accomplish their object,
c, nc aling their vices and delormites of
character, which are only learned after
the marriage is consumm ated. Why
should a woman, who has been deceived
il to a marriage with lazy shift SIS fe D.
low, who neglects to support her, or who
fl ally deserts her leaving her to support
herself and children by her own ex-
C tion, be compelled to bear his name
through life. People who are happy in
ther domestic relations seek no divorce
those who are not do, and it is better
to allow them legal separation, than
compel them to cling to each other, each
perhaps, living in the hope that one will
die and give the otLer relea G. We
see no necessity of any change in onr
laws in this respect and hope none will
be made.

EDITORIAL PLEAsANTRIEs.-Our edi-
iorial friends of the Shasta C0uyicy and
Red Bluff Sentinel, have been indulging
in a few social amenities lately and as il is
rare that an opportunity is offered to wit
ness a pretty fair sample of what the
journalism of Oregon is chiefly noted for
we transcribe the attack and the reply
The subject in controversy IS the action
of Col. Lewis in reference to the passage
Of special law to pay the salary Of a
teacher who had no certificate, and con-
sequently could not draw pay for teach
ing. The Sentinel begins thus:
We would advise theeditorof the Shasta
Courier, who has served two or three
terms as County Superintendent of hi,
county, u read the School Law and learn
$ s'melhing before he questions the quail.
fications of others. God may in his great
mercy pardon felon, bat he will certainly
damn a fool. The election of that fellow
10 the office of County Superintendent is
additional evidence why that office should
be dispensed with, and we most sincerely
hope that the Legislature will abolish
that office, or prescribe a standard of
qualifications which will make it impos-
sible for such creatures to disgrace it.
To which the Courier rejons:
There is no danger of any Legislature
ever having cause to abolish an office on
account of the Sentinel editor being elect
led To fill it,. for the people of Tehama
county now cast out all such loathsome
creatures His only chance for office is
in getting the appointment Of town scav-
,engcr when Red Bluff is Incorporated.
That position would be congenial to his
tastes and suited TO his abilities, but the
biggest nuisance he can abate, would be
10 steal halter off of some Chinaman's
horse, hang himself and sneak off toh-l,
the place to which he appropriately be-
longs.

FIRE AT EUREKA.-The most destruc-
tive fire which ever visited Eureka oc-
Cured on the morning Of January 3D.
1t is thought to have originated in the
kitchen of the Monroe House, and was
well under way before it was discovered.
The Monroe House was entirely destroy
ed, and number of adjacent buildings
were badly damaged. In the confusion
incident TO removing goods from the
scene of danger, fine opportunity was
afforded for the display of thieving pro-
p nsities and many o. the mer chants lost
heavily by the hand of pilferers. The
ioss by the confagraiion is in the Gigh-
Loraood of S75, 200, on which there was
but very little insurance. The saddest
part of the affair remains TO be told. Ber-
tina Amelia Svenson, mbermaid EN-
ployed ia the Monroe House, perished in
the flames. her charred remains were
found among the ruins next morning.
She was a native Ut Sweden, of the age
of 22 years.

SAM SMITH is a stagedriver Of Gala
veras. He may be elected to Congress,
but he can never be President of these
United States. When the highwaymen
stopped the stage and asked for Wells,
Fargo IL Co.'S. treasure box, Sam could
tell a lie and did tell one. He said he
did not carry that box, that it was on an
othe stage soon to come along, whereat
the innocent knights Of the road ordered
him to drive along, which he lost no time
in doing. But Sammy had the treasure
with him all the time, and the highway
men may be watching for that other
stage yet. Tho Express company have
made Sam a present Of gold watch for
a New Years gift, but he can never be
President.
