No tair-minded man Of either party IN
well come to any other conclusion than
that the bringing Of Judge Bond into
this State to try registrar, under the
Enforcement Act for wilfully refusing
to register a qualified voter, was put
up Job. The Berkeley Union in its
issue Of August 18th, ioreshadowed the
plan of the Radical leaders in the fol
lowing paragraph. 1t said, in referring
to the arrest OF two registrars;


1--WE suggest to our Republican friends
that bail be withdrawn, and the accused
90 to Jail, and that a writ of hojcaS cor
pus be obtained from Judge Bond and
the law tested at once


Now, why, we ask, were the Radicals
so anxious to have the case tested before
Bond if they were not fully satisfied, in
advance that he would render a parti
zan decision Why not let the case'
referred to take their regular and proper
course before the United States District
Judge in this State? The Distric
Court was in session Oh the same day
that Judge Bond held his Court in thin
place. Then it cannot be claimed thai
a decision could be had any sooner 10y
having Judge Bond come here Is th'

should be given credit for having res
cued every soul, every ypassepger. The
sufferings of the passengers of the
Golden City on the march from the
scene of the disaster to Santa Maria
Bay to take passage ON the Colorado,
are described as terrible. They had no
water, and but little hard bread. Old
men, women and children, walked
q hours over rocky mountains,
under burning sun, and arrived at
their destination entirely prOstrated
by fatigue. Every passenger has his
version, but all agree in the principal
incidents. When all reached land,
one boat rugged with a sail and
manned hy six or eight men was sent
to sea to look for the Colorado, but is
supposed to have missed that steamer
in the night. Nothing has been heard
of the boat since the time Of sailing.
The Colorado accounts differ as to the
number of passengers missing. Some
say niue and some say fifteen. The
latter is considered the nearest correct,
but all agree that all came OF the
steamer Golden City in safety.

to know, because of remark that was made in
the House Wednesday by Mr.. Sargent Of Cal

measure which was reported to haye originated
with the bank of California, and IL its interests
Mr.. Sargent replied to them by excamng that
he ''did not think it looked well for those gen.

at their tables and rode in their carriage, to
come here now and abnse them" He seemed
to consider this sufficient answer to all the ar

like to know is, il we also to regard it in the
same way? Before leaving the point to be pom
dered on by mankind, however, we must say we
are obliged-to Mr.. Sargent for giving us the pos

any favor from the bank of California, and never
expected any" 1t must be an ungrateful bank

Lest the opinions expressed by us concerning
fair, we give the following from Democratic
journals of undOubted orthodoxy;


The California Express, edited by Alex. Mont
gomery, says of the State paper bill


The bill engineered through the Legislature,
by the State Capital Reporter, for its own benefit,
by clear robbery of the general county press,
is receiving its merted condemnation as trick
not simply mean but as infamous, and we advise
Ex-Governor Bigler to make 4" "a virtue o. ueces-
sity and see that this little matter is stopped
before it proceeds to a law, or he and his State
CapitaI Reporter may have the pleasure of being
damned to unhealthy fame for all future time
If the Democratic party of California is to live,
this bill must not be law.


The Placer Herald, edited by ex-Leutenant-
Governor Joseph Walkup, an old wheel-horse ol
the Democracy, says:


The truth is, we regard one-fourth of the
members as incompetent-better fitted by nature
and education to sit on eggs than in the Legisla-
ture; another fourth as rascals Of more or less
ability and tue other half as men of good inten-
tions, and many of them of more than ordinary
ability. The constitutional provision adjournng
the Legislature at the end Of one hundred and
twenty days is good-it ought to be ninety
days"


The Yreka Union, edited by William, Irwin
himself Senator from Siskyou, speaks know
ingly. We have not ventured to say as much


The eighteenth session of the California Legis
lature expired by constitutional limitation on
Monday night last, and the members thereof are
most all on their way back to their homes where
it is to be hoped many Of them may remain
Certainly, it is hard to conceive of less orderly
and more undsciplined body than the Assembly
has been. A few members of that body, not to
exceed a dozen in all, have shown themselves
men of fair, average legislative ability. The
rest were pernicious men TO entrust with labor
making power, not that we believe they were
corrupt, but that they had no practical ideas OF
legislation. Take the anti-Chnese bills Of this
session-what have they done? Nothing but to
cause the origination of test suits that will upset
the foreign miners license and deprive the
mountain counties of large share Of their
revenue. The Chinese paid this tax willingly
heretofore, because they believed it entitled them
| to legal protection, although they had able lega
advice concerning its unconstitutionality Thi:
will be lost to the mining counties before the
close of the year, through the foolish and pro
scriptive legislation Of the session just ended
Some allowance however must be made for many
members because there were many there who
were elected from counties that had formerly
given Republican majorties, aud who had beer
nominated merely to fill up a ticket. Thes'
men owed their election to the disgust enter
tanned against the fifteenth amendment by Re
! publicans.

has been depleted of coin. The same process is
still going on, but we are glad to say, is becom-

stoning to death of young schoolmistress by

this poor girl from the start because she was
diminutive in stature and of feeble health.
These Disabilities should have recommended
her to their respect and sympathy; but instead
they urged her death, for it is quite apparent,
from the circumstantial narratives given OF the
affair, that the young wretches intended to
prevent her, by their cruel violence, from ever
entering the schoo-room again. Four Ofthem

The editor of the Saratogian writes
to the New York Farmers Club, that
Mr.. Perry who is engaged in horti
cultural pursuits at Saratoga Springs,
argues that there. is a male and a fe
male in every variety of the vegetable
world, as there is in the animal. In
some varieties this male and female
part is combined in the same plant, as
it is, for example, in the Wilson
Strawberry. In the potato, the part
knowuas the seed end is the male,
and where that portion only is plant
ed the product will not be as large OF
healthy as if the other, or female end
was planted. He says that when he
plants the female or stem end of the
potato he never is troubled with the
rot, but always has good, large pota.
toes, aud sound ones too. His theory
is that the female end contains a larg.
er proportion of starch to nourish the
young plant and give it an early start
1 have faith in his potato theory,
which he has tested for years.
