PRATT. For Judge of the 14th JundicialDietrict. T. B. McPARLAND. THE ALDERSON Case.—The. Demo: efate are trying to make some capital porch against Judge McFarland, for his decis~ ion im the Alderson case. That our readers may understand the matter, we give the following sketch of the case, . which we find in the Stars and Stripes, im reply to an attack of the Placer Robert Alderson was tried at the May term of the District Court for the murder of Ah Foon, at Forest Hill, in the month of June previous. Alderson is. a reckless, dranken rowdy, though not~ withstanding this, of respectable connections. The circumstances of the case, as testified to by Thomas Boyd, Erskine Allen, J. Lockhart and Charlies Fett, show that it was one of the must cold bidoded murders ever perpetrated in this State. Ah Wong and Ah Wy, who were present at the time the tragedy oceurred, were called to testify in the case. It was objected to by coun~ sel for defendant. The Court admitted the testimony under the decision made by the Supreme Court in the case of the People against George Washington. The defendent in the above case was indicted for robbing a Chinaman named Ah Wang. The question raised was asto whether a Chinaman born within the Chinese Empire could testify against a Negro. The Court below Wischarged the defendant on the ground that all the testimony in the case was Chinese, and as such was not admissible against defendant. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court. The decision rendered by that Court involves a thérough discussion of the Thirteenth Amendment, the 11th and 17th sections of our State Constitution, the Civil Rights Act and the Four. teenth Amendment. The Supreme Court say : “The provisions of the Cons. stitution of this State to which we especially refer, are sections 11 and 17 of the firet Article. The former provides that “All laws of a general nature shall have a uniform Operation ;” and the latter, that “Foreigners who are, or may hereafter become bona fide residents of this State, shall enjoy the same same rights in respect to ths possession, as native born citizens.’’ And perhaps 40 argument of much force might be drawn from the first section of the same Article, which affirms the right of enjoying and detending life and liberty and of acquiring, preserving and protecting property. Much could be said’ to show that a statute which permits a person to become a witness in certain cases and notin other cases, does not operate uniformly, and that the right to testify in our Courts is indispensable to aliens to enable them to possess, enjoy and inherit property upon the same terms as native born: citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment goes one step further than the Civil Rights bill, and after declaring who are citizens of the United States and securing them in the ' enjoyment of their privileges and im~ tae, munities, contains a provision applica~ ble to all persons, whether citizens or not, in this words; “Nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law,nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction ‘the equal protection of the laws.” So say the Supreme Court. ’ When Alderson was tried, the decis. ion in question had been read by every lawyer in the State, and it was under this that Judge McFarland admitted Chinese testimony im the Alderson case. As Rstrict Judge he had no-right to deny/the dictum of the Supreme Court, whose opinions are undeniably held as asthe law of the land, and are as bind. ing on the Judge of the Fourteenth Ju. dicial District as upon litigants,, where cases are appealed to them for final adjudication. In view of this, then, all t Toborative of and corroborated by the testimony of white men. ' Jadge McFarland is known to be. a candidate for Judge of the Fourteenth Judicial District. Would he as sach, cannot vote,and against whom so strong a prejadice exists, admit their testimony unless expressly sanctioned by the fandamental law of the land? We say not. District will read the decision made by the Supreme Court in the case alluded to, we will guarantee that Judge Me~ Farland’s rulings in the Alderson case will be without exception declared in conformity with the undeniable law of the land. SappaTH Breakino—Rev. Mr. Ames announces that he will preach hereafter at San Jose in the morning and in San Francisco in the evening, whereupon the Christian Adcocate accuses him of Sabbath breaking, in riding fifty miles between appointments. Is it any more harm to ride fifty miles . than twenty on Sunday to-fill an ap~ pointment? We have often known Methodist preachers to gu thirty miles on Senday, and preach—three times. Does the Advocate claim them also as Sabbath breakers? or, does it require twenty miles more to constitute a “‘desecration of the Lord's Day.” StncuLaR OccurREeNce.—The Val~ lejo Chronicle, says that last week a her jaw ina singular manner. A number of her sex, while chatting together, became extravagantly amused over some relation, and their laughter was unusually hearty. After they had quieted down, it was observed that Mrs. —— sat still with her mouth wide open, and unable to artieulate’ a word. Examination led to the discovery that she had displaced the lower jaw, and a surgeon was sent ‘for, who soon re~ placed it. Squaw SHor.—On Thusday morning last, just as the Pioneer excursion‘ train was leaving the depot and the regular express train coming in, says the Auburn Herald, a young Indian, known as ‘Johnny,’ about 20 years old, raised his gun and deliberately shot a young squaw, some 16 or 17 years of age, the ball entering the left breast and passing through the lungs above the heart, and came out near the shoulder blade, Thelndian escaped. Opp FELLOW MeMBeEnsutr.—The report laid before the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, now in session in San Francisco, shows that, according to the. reports of the subordinate Lodges which have beeg received, there have been initiated during the year about 41,000 members, making the total number in the United States, so far as known, 269,000—an increase over last year of about 25,000. Gov. Haight is availing himself of the recreations of the Eastern watering places.

Grass VaLLer Irems.—We get the men are either anticipating early rains, or else tliey want coin to pay taxes, as they continue to rush their hay crop in this direction. Nota day passes with-~ out a nurfiberof heavily loaded hay teams coming into town. “Recent letters from ‘Grass Valley White Piners say that things in a bus~ iness way, are sickly over there. Many of the prospectors have turned their footatéps westward toward California. ; The work of resetting the engine on anew foundation, and putting in the big pump at the old hoisting works and shaft of the Allison Ranch mine has been completed; and the mine is now nearly drained of water. Work has also been commenced in the old drifts, and we are informed that some excellent rock is being raised, Few more delays can now occur before the .workon this valuable. mine will be under full headway. ‘i THE real and personal property tax of White Pine amounts to $3,134,000, divided as follows : Real estate, $1,006,property, $1,251,600. In 1868 the Parisians smoked 761, 625,000 cigars. PENDLETON.—The Springfield (Mase.) Republican thus comments on the nomination of Pendleton for Governor of Ohi»This nomination is not without significance in our national politics. Pendleton is the rival,no longer of Horatio Seymour, bat of Governor Hoffman, for the Democratic Presidential nomination of 1872, and his position in the present Ohio coapeian is connected with that fact. The iriends of Hoffman offered the second place on the Presidential ticket to JadgRanney of Ohio, with the view to undermine Pendleton in his own State ; but the Ohio State convention refused to take part in the plot by nominating Ranney for Governor. Through the influence of Pendleton’s friends, Ranney was defeated and Rosecrans put up; it not ing advisable then te try Pendleton: But now, the majority of the committee which fills vacancies in the State ticket being friends of Pendleton, he gets the nomination, Tut Bay or San Francisco.—It is supposed that the Bay of San Francisco was first discovered in the month of October, 1769, by Friar Juan Crespi, who started from San lige on the l4th of July previous, at the head of a party of soldiers, with instructions to found. a mission on the Bay of Monterey. Coming northward, he reached that bay near the mouth of the Salinas Riy r, ard Anding no harbor there, he determined to continue his journeyin the hove of finding a better site for a mission. He founda m ificent bay, believed that he was the first white man to discover it, and named it after the founder of his monastic order, San Francisco. Thus it-was that the bay obtained the name which it still has, and which has been communicated to the mission and the city. A LETTER from Petersburg, Va., states that ‘the breastworks in front of Petersburg, thrown up by the Confederates the late war, extending to ‘the left, towa: Kichmond, about twenty miles, and to the right about twemcy-five miles, for the defense of the city, have grown up in a continuous line of peach trees of every variety, yielding an abundant crop the present year. This is the only legacy left by the Coniederates who were on the advance line, within 100 yards of the enemy. Having eaten the fruit while on picket duty, they cast the seed aside, and now they appear in one continuous line of fortyfive miles in beantiful trees, Yielding the greatest-varie-y of the finest fruit.” darip in this city, the mames of scholars spTIME WuHEN.—The newly elected.
