mining, said to-day that the stopping of n.y.
draulic mining at an early period was newt

this be the act Of mere mailman for a pri.

olitical partisapsbip, it is still calamity of
| the first magnitude, and should be punished
with the utmost1isor. In our country, where
every man is a voter, the person of the pee
pies elect should be sacred and inyiolate !;
there is no excuse for violence and no pallia-
ton for the infamous crime. That we pledge
ourselves, cur fortunes and our sacred honor,
that SO far as we are concerned, now and for |
ever, that on whomsoeyer the odium Of this |
act shall fall, shall hear this and the mark Of

ing We hail with great satisfaction the re-
port of the smallpox for the past week only
five cases and no deaths. So satisfactory is
the present condition of affairs, that we look
to an early raising of the tabu upon island
trsffi;. 0ne of our contemporaries,
tice, is advocating an independent line of
steamers to run between this port AMI San
| Francisco The idea is good one. From
their size, and the number of passengers that
they carry, the Pacific Mail steamers would
always command major portion Of the pas
seuger traffic from this port. The only
chance of success in competition with them
would be TO put ON vessels of the size say of
the old City of Melbourne, which used to
between San Francisco and the Colonies some
years ago. a vessel of this class might pos
si5ly attract passengers and yet not be too
large for the trade, but then comes the ques-
ton, Would it pay? And upon that we
think there is room for considerable discus
sion, and for show Of figures. There are
services, however, which it is to the advan-
tage of the country to keep up at loss, and
if we are to be treated by the Pacific Mail
steamers in the manner that we have been,
perhaps indirectly it will pay US to have
| line of steamers Of our own.
