Therehasbeen no profouuder statesman than Thomas Jefferson, iu all tbe principles which underlie an honest and faithful govern- i ment. How often did his sagacious mind press upon every politician who oame near him, the great maxims that tbe world governed too much, and "that that State was governed best which was governed least. The contrary is too often -the practice at the 'present day. Members of our legislative bodies use their utmost ability in devising new laws before the previous ones have been fairly tried. The uncertainty of our statutes have become so notorious that men of capital aud enterprise fear to venture upon any undertaking while the legislature is in 'session.

They did not waut a republic but they wanted a monarchy. Their adhesion to a foreign usurper, proves the bastard democracy of too many of the rebel chiefs.

The lust of selfishness urged them into the rebellion, and their present action.proves that they are willing to resort to anything, however base, to get place. It will also be remembered that Duke win, of California, another rebel, who migrated to Mexico and was appointed Governor of one of the Northern provinces, strove to induce a large emigration from the States, particularly from California.

The true object of law-is that when there is a grievance there should be a remedy; but no remedy should be applied until there is a need therefor, because if the legislature attempts to legislate upon every imaginable need, the Statute Book will be encumbered with mass of laws neither applicable or wine.

An Amendment to thc'Insnrancc law. It has been suggested to us that our insurance laws should be so amended us to at any time allow foreign insurance companies to open offices in this State, upon the usual deposit of cur State stock, or other bonds if these are not to be had. The time.under the present law.

was restricted to July-let, 1865. It was understood that the time was to bo extended probably' to November Int. We, however, think much better that there should be no restriction upon the time. Whenever a solvent company wants -to come here, Jet them come and bring us the advantages of another sound insurance company. Under the present law the number of companies in the State will bo too limited to do all tho business which is required.

Insurance would be much jnore general if thorb wero more companies. There oioiliow many persons who do not insure. It is unwise to expose property to such The introduction of more good foreign companies we believe would be a niutu al benefit to all classes. It in also to be borne in mind that by BO altering the law ns to allow a deposit of State stock at any time, it will create constant market for our State bonds. True, the amount, would not be much, but it would exert a healthy influence in maintaining our State bonds nt par, thus, iu a measure, give a strong credit to the financial obligations of the SUite.

In any way that we cum-look it, we can perceive good ini tho proposed change of the iiiBtiraneeJnw. We trust that "the members from our city will bear this in niiud when the offers. Last advices, however, from San Francisco state that many persons who left there to live in Mexico, about a year ago, when Dr. Gwin's prospects seemed BO bright, are leturning to California. Several families came up on the last'- steamer.

They say it is no place for Americans to live. The country 'is farther from being in a settled condition than it was twelve months since. Sonora is constantly being ravaged aud plundered by Juarez's guerrillas. We do not believe at the present, time one thousand Americans are on the soil of Mfxico as immigrants. Even the rebels can not be induced to abandon their conquered country for the despotism of Maximilian.

They well know that, in the United States, they have more liberties and more cbanc-u to rise again than in a distracted, Goil-t'oisaken and anuarchy-breediug empire like that of Mexico, where all social order is so disturbed that they can perceive that they may ultimately be compelled to fight for the fruits of their labor. We would rather there would be a large emigroatiou to Mexico, for thus will the country sooner or later become Americanized. Even the southern ebcl can not forget that he is an American, and if not he, his children will be ashamed to encourage such a foreign usurpation as that of Maximilian. It is a noticeable fact, that no country can ever receive a large immigratiou where social order is much disturbed. An emigrant abandons his old home for security.

He must abhor instability, because he well knows that he may sow while others may reap; he may garner and others may take possession of thfet which he has coined with the sweet of bis brow. Until Mexico becomes a truly stable government we do not ira- agin that the temptations of either its silver mines, its fertile soil, or its delightful climate ran induce an immigration which will cultivate its vacant wastes aud lender it what it ought to of the most desirable homes in the world.

To many of our readers the announcement of the sudden death of Col. C. A. Morgan, by the telegraph from St, Louis, was as painful as surprising for he was the sou of old citizen here, and very well known. The St.

During the post year, there has been an immense depreciation'of the mining stocks of California in tho market of San Francisco.

Some years ago, after the first discovery of gold in California, we used often to hear of some sudJen good fortune to the miner, which would craze half the youug men in the conutry. One remarkable success would be heralded as if many others might obtain the same. Of late years, however, we have not been able to record such remarkable euccesscs in mining as to excite a ferment wherever such luck is know. Im- migratiou to California has, iu a measure ceased, and the current is uow flowing towards Idaho, Montana and 'Oregon, because of the impression that gold will there be found in the same profusion as it was originally in the placers of Ca.ifornia. Now and then a report reaches us of some extraord good luck, but'the following over-tops all we jiavu heard from the land of gold: Sublime luck has recently befel a man in.

A physician was immediately sent for, and, on his arrival, pronouuced that death must have ensued at least two hours previous.

The paper then states that the impressive funeral-ceremony of the Episcopal Church was held at General Pope residence, and was conducted by Dr. Sdiuyler, of Christ's Church, in that city-'at the conclusion of which the remains were escorted to the levee for conveyance hither, in charge of Major Swain aud Brevet Major Pope, both of Minor General Pope's staff, accompanied by six men of the 3d United States Infantry.

Gentlemen who" favored the reference of this resolution could not plead, the want of for further investigation. It was a subject well understood.

spirited debate sprung up on a resolution offered yesterday, by Mr. Me? rill, of Jackson County, in which Mr. Bobbins of Grant county, took very, active part: Resolved try the Assembly, the Senate concurring: That, notwithtsaudiug favora shown to members of thia Legislature railroad corporations, in the shape of free passes, and oily-tongned lobbies, and notwithstanding the assurances of future Kbatement of tbeso obnoxious monopolies practiced on Ihe people of this State for years past by said corpo.ations, it is the duty of this Legislature to enact such laws as will effectually protect the hard earnings of the bono aud sinew of tuis State from paving tribute to snch: monopolies, and that shall admonish those steamboat monopolists on the Mississippi river, and all others, that combinations against the free and htroic people of the northwest, wiH.be very hkeiy share the fate of the southern confederacy. He said the interests o'f the people of the State were not represented upon the floor of this House, that we represented pur own interest as a Legislature and nothing more. He was very severe iu his condemnation of former Legislatures back for ten years, which reached a period when those who are now a minority w.

Why his private correspondence had been purloined from his desk and published in the Republican papers. The resolution was adopted.

H. Chandler, of Dane, President tern during the absence of the Lieutenant whenever that should occur during, the session. This is a deserved compliment to a very worthy maii.

He was to the- Assembly of 1861, aud has been a member of the Senate since that time, this being'his fourth year in that body.

aid of fortuitous circumstances, aiid of but limited educational advantages, Mr. Chandler has shown himself to be a very valuable member of the Senate: He may be emphatically called' "clearheaded," and when he gets up in and explains any matter under consideration, he puts it in such a light that all can understand what means, however much yon may not want it passed.

The fire was set by Malcom Wells, a a boy of years.

At the time of the fire, there.was'some eighty boys, locked in as many'single rooms, with single locks. Nearly all of these were unlocked by the officer having charge of the dormitories. A few boys beat their way through the walls with their stools.
