A bill was passed in the Assembly on Friday last, authorizing the Board of Examiners to audit and allow the claims of the volunteers called out by order of Guvernor Johnson, in 1856, to suppress the insurrection in San Francisco, The sum of fifty thousand dollars is appropriated for the payment of the claims. The Republican members from San Francisco opposed the bill, Their opposition was expected; one of the principal planks in the platform of that party in this State has been to approve the acts of the San Francisce vigilance committee, They have always contended that the turbulent inhabitants have a right to rebel against the government and set the laws at defiance, and that the calling out of troops to suppress insurrection, in accordance with the plain previsions of law, is an assumptionef power en the part of the Executive. For this reason they object to paying the volunteers, who answered te the call of the Governor and enrolled themselves to suppress the insurrection in San Francisco. A number of Democrats in the Assemby also objected to the bill, onthe ground that the Board of Examiners is not the proper body to audit the claims. They contended that the accounts should be submitted to the committee on elaims, and be audited and allowed by the Legislature. This position is doubtless correct, and the fact that the proper form of allowing the accounts was disregarded induced a number of Democrats to vote againat the bill. We regard it, however, as of little consequence what particular form is adopted in settling the claims. The volunteers should be paid for the time they were actually in the service of the State, and we have no doubt the Board of Examiners will take good care that unjust claims are net allowed. Let the Senate pass the bill, not only as an act of justice to volunteers, but as an example for what may be expected in future. Vigilantes will then think twice before they attempt again to set the laws at defianee ; and should oceasion ever again require, there will be no lack of volunteers to answer the call of the Executive for the suppression of mobs and insurrections, We well remember when vigilanceism was at its height, and the Governor was endeavoring te enlist volunteers to suppress the rebellion, that every vigilance papor inthe State was warning people against enrolling themselves with the volunteers; telling them that they would never even be thanked for their services. These representatious no doubt had their effect, and the few whe turned ont in obedience to the call of the Governor, did so more for the purpose of maintaining the supremacy of the Jaws, than from any expectation of being rewarded for their services. Their services it is trae were of no avail, but that was not their fault nor is it any reason that they should not be paid what is justly due them. Let the Legislature recognize the justice of the claim and a precedent will be set which cannot fail to have a beneficial effeet in preventing mob violence and insurrections hereafter; while the law as it stands on our statute book will be equivalent toa seal of condemnation placed by the people of the State upon the preceedings which occasioned its enactment. Raltnoap Matrers.—The Stockton Republican has intelligence that a company has been formed in England with a capital of $15,000,000, for the purpose of constructing a railroad from San Francisco to Sacramento, by way of Stoekton. It is expected that the road can be completed from San Francieco to Steckton in three years and to Sacramentoin four. The action of the people of California, in refusing to repudiate the State debt, has produced a favorable effect in England and greatly improved the credit of the State. Resticiovs.—The pious people of Sacramento are endeavoring to get up an excitement on religious matters, in imitation of the great revival which was going on at last accounts in the East. Prayer meetings are held daily at the different churches, and will doubtless be centinued as long as the religious interest can be sustained. We have not yet heard of any conversions. Ar.antic Parers.—We are under obligations to Geo. Welch for a liberal supply of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston papers. J. E. Hamlin and Charley Palmer have also our thanks for similar favors. Mr. J. W. Sullivan, of the San Francisco News Depot, as usual, sent us a package containing papers from all sections ot the Eastern States. Fins at Rep Buurrs.—A fire broke out in this place on Saturday the 10th iust., and burnt a few houses. An old lady, named Gibson, lost her entire possessions, but it was more than made good by contributions from sympathizing citizens. Apsournment.—A resolution has passed both Houses of the Legislature to adjourn on the 26th inst. It is believed, however, that the seasion will be prolonged uptil about the first of May, as there is considerable business whieh is deemed important, yet te be disposed of. Pus. Doos.—We are indebted to Senators Gwin and Broderick and to Messrs. MeKibben and Scots for public documents received from Washington by the last mail. ExgcutTsp.—Three Chinamen, cenvicted ef the murder of M. V. B. Griswold, were executed at Jackson, last Friday. Awarpep.—The city printing of Marysville has been given to the xpress, at $1,500 for the year. Rerrmep.—C. G. Lincoln has retired from the editorial control of the North Californian.

If a Convention is not held, we should havea general scrub raee for Supreme Court Judge; some Democrat, however, would be elected. If a Convention is held we may look for exciting times and pleaty of sport. Mr. Warfield’s Nigger Bill. rate against Utah from California than from the Western States. England and France.

From a bureau in the room where the family slept were taken a watch and small chain, a old thimble, several ees pins, a purse, and between four and five dollars in money. From another part of the house some spoons and different articles ye a crape shawl, children’s dresses, shoes, &c, The thieves were perfectly noisless in their movements, and the loss was not diecoved until the next morning, when the goods were supposed to be gone beyond recovery. But strange to say, on the following night, one of the family was aroused by a tap on the window, and, upon opening the door, a man, disguired, handed in a bundle which was found to contain the missing articles, and a note of which the foliowing is @ copy: Sir :—I have heard that you are not altogether able to bear the loss you met with on Saturday evening, and I have concluded to send what of the articles I can procure back, and you will oblige me by publishing the value of the things still missed, and as soon as convenient, I shall leave between the two bills, The ‘original bill’’ contala no guovlatdn Sor <hiting -negreen-outy 19 .

Anti-Leeompton Meeting in Ohio. A mass convention of the Anti-Leeompton Democracy of Ohio was held ia Columbus, on the 10th of March. The meeting was the largest which has been held in that State for many years, and nearly every county was represented. Col. George W. Mannypenny, Commissioner of Indian affairs under President Pierce, presided, and Frederick P. Stanton. ex-Secretary of Kansas, and Henry B. Payne, the late Democratic candidate for Gevernor of Ohio, were among the speakers, The resolutions passed by the meeting, declare their firm adherence to the doctrine of popular sovereignty embraced in the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Cincinnati platform, and recognize the right of the people of Kansas, through the legally and fairly expressed will of the majerity of actual residents, to form a constitution, with or without démestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon an equality with the other States; that the Lecompton constitution, is the offspring of usurpation and fraud, and not the act and deed of the people of Kansas, and to impose it upon them would be an act of gross injustice . and tyranny, in contravention of the plighted faith of the Democratic party, and subversive of the principles of self-gevernment; that the enforcement of this instrument on an unwilling people, against their known and expressed will, must lead to the most unfurtunate and disastrous consequences to the Democratic party ; that the only teats of party fealty which are acknowledged are those preseribed by the regularly constituted National Conventions, and they repudiate the attempt to make the admission of Kansas uoder the Lecompton constitetien a test of Democratic orthodexy. They approve of the resolutions passed by the Democratic members of the Legislature of that State, against the admission ef Kansas, and applaud the courage and wisdom ef Senator Douglas, bie associates in Congress, and others, in their vindication of popular sovereignty. A committee was appointed to confer with similar committees in other States, in relation to the helding of = grand mass convention of the Demoeracy ef the Northwest. Among the letters read on the occasion, was one from Senater Broderick, which we annex : Wasninotow, D. C., March 6th, 1858. Guntiemun : Your invitation to be present at a meetiog in Columbus, Ohio, the object of which is to protest against the passage of the Lecomptom Constitution, bas been received, and I much regret that duties bere will prevent my attendance. I will, however, take thie epportunity to say, that it affords me great satisfaetion te perceive that the Democratic masses are waking up to the importance of the issues involved in the Kansas question, and to the enormity of the fraud which the Administration is seeking to force upon the country in their name. It might seem surprising that the people have not exhibited this interest before. but when it is-considered that they bad nothing to attract their attention to the Kansas question but the common ery of fraud, and only looked upon it as the opening of an apparently new chapter in the slavery topic, their long repugnance to its discussion is the more easily understeod. Now, however, it is rapidly becoming known that slavery is not the material feature of the present contest. The real issue is, the right of white men to govern themselves and to have a voice in the adoption of the Constitution under which they are to live. When this shall be theroughly understood, we shall doubtless receive an earnest response. There cannot possibly be any indifference in the public mind on such an issue as this, I have great confidence, notwithstanding the Democratic votes in Congress, which, in the culpable silence of their constituents, have ranged themselves with the President in his Kansas tyranny, that the day will soon come when no Demoerat can be found to acknowledge that he ever countenanced the monstrous doctrine, that fraud ean be rendered acceptable by any forms of legal technicalities, or that a free people should be obliged to accept a government which they were denied the right to reject or ratify, Trusting that your meeting may be speedily followed by others of a similar character, I am, gentlemen, Very truly yours, ete., D.

A bill was passed in the Assembly on Friday last, authorizing the Board of Examiners to audit and allow the claims of the volunteers called out by order of Guvernor Johnson, in 1856, to suppress the insurrection in San Francisco, The sum of fifty thousand dollars is appropriated for the payment of the claims. The Republican members from San Francisco opposed the bill, Their opposition was expected; one of the principal planks in the platform of that party in this State has been to approve the acts of the San Francisce vigilance committee, They have always contended that the turbulent inhabitants have a right to rebel against the government and set the laws at defiance, and that the calling out of troops to suppress insurrection, in accordance with the plain previsions of law, is an assumptionef power en the part of the Executive. For this reason they object to paying the volunteers, who answered te the call of the Governor and enrolled themselves to suppress the insurrection in San Francisco. A number of Democrats in the Assemby also objected to the bill, onthe ground that the Board of Examiners is not the proper body to audit the claims. They contended that the accounts should be submitted to the committee on elaims, and be audited and allowed by the Legislature. This position is doubtless correct, and the fact that the proper form of allowing the accounts was disregarded induced a number of Democrats to vote againat the bill. We regard it, however, as of little consequence what particular form is adopted in settling the claims. The volunteers should be paid for the time they were actually in the service of the State, and we have no doubt the Board of Examiners will take good care that unjust claims are net allowed. Let the Senate pass the bill, not only as an act of justice to volunteers, but as an example for what may be expected in future. Vigilantes will then think twice before they attempt again to set the laws at defianee ; and should oceasion ever again require, there will be no lack of volunteers to answer the call of the Executive for the suppression of mobs and insurrections, We well remember when vigilanceism was at its height, and the Governor was endeavoring te enlist volunteers to suppress the rebellion, that every vigilance papor inthe State was warning people against enrolling themselves with the volunteers; telling them that they would never even be thanked for their services. These representatious no doubt had their effect, and the few whe turned ont in obedience to the call of the Governor, did so more for the purpose of maintaining the supremacy of the Jaws, than from any expectation of being rewarded for their services. Their services it is trae were of no avail, but that was not their fault nor is it any reason that they should not be paid what is justly due them. Let the Legislature recognize the justice of the claim and a precedent will be set which cannot fail to have a beneficial effeet in preventing mob violence and insurrections hereafter; while the law as it stands on our statute book will be equivalent toa seal of condemnation placed by the people of the State upon the preceedings which occasioned its enactment. Raltnoap Matrers.—The Stockton Republican has intelligence that a company has been formed in England with a capital of $15,000,000, for the purpose of constructing a railroad from San Francisco to Sacramento, by way of Stoekton. It is expected that the road can be completed from San Francieco to Steckton in three years and to Sacramentoin four. The action of the people of California, in refusing to repudiate the State debt, has produced a favorable effect in England and greatly improved the credit of the State. Resticiovs.—The pious people of Sacramento are endeavoring to get up an excitement on religious matters, in imitation of the great revival which was going on at last accounts in the East. Prayer meetings are held daily at the different churches, and will doubtless be centinued as long as the religious interest can be sustained. We have not yet heard of any conversions. Ar.antic Parers.—We are under obligations to Geo. Welch for a liberal supply of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston papers. J. E. Hamlin and Charley Palmer have also our thanks for similar favors. Mr. J. W. Sullivan, of the San Francisco News Depot, as usual, sent us a package containing papers from all sections ot the Eastern States. Fins at Rep Buurrs.—A fire broke out in this place on Saturday the 10th iust., and burnt a few houses. An old lady, named Gibson, lost her entire possessions, but it was more than made good by contributions from sympathizing citizens. Apsournment.—A resolution has passed both Houses of the Legislature to adjourn on the 26th inst. It is believed, however, that the seasion will be prolonged uptil about the first of May, as there is considerable business whieh is deemed important, yet te be disposed of. Pus. Doos.—We are indebted to Senators Gwin and Broderick and to Messrs. MeKibben and Scots for public documents received from Washington by the last mail. ExgcutTsp.—Three Chinamen, cenvicted ef the murder of M. V. B. Griswold, were executed at Jackson, last Friday. Awarpep.—The city printing of Marysville has been given to the xpress, at $1,500 for the year. Rerrmep.—C. G. Lincoln has retired from the editorial control of the North Californian.

From another part of the house some spoons and different articles ye a crape shawl, children’s dresses, shoes, &c, The thieves were perfectly noisless in their movements, and the loss was not diecoved until the next morning, when the goods were supposed to be gone beyond recovery. But strange to say, on the following night, one of the family was aroused by a tap on the window, and, upon opening the door, a man, disguired, handed in a bundle which was found to contain the missing articles, and a note of which the foliowing is @ copy: Sir :—I have heard that you are not altogether able to bear the loss you met with on Saturday evening, and I have concluded to send what of the articles I can procure back, and you will oblige me by publishing the value of the things still missed, and as soon as convenient, I shall leave between the two bills, The ‘original bill’’ contala no guovlatdn Sor <hiting -negreen-outy 19 .

A mass convention of the Anti-Leeompton Democracy of Ohio was held ia Columbus, on the 10th of March. The meeting was the largest which has been held in that State for many years, and nearly every county was represented. Col. George W. Mannypenny, Commissioner of Indian affairs under President Pierce, presided, and Frederick P. Stanton. ex-Secretary of Kansas, and Henry B. Payne, the late Democratic candidate for Gevernor of Ohio, were among the speakers, The resolutions passed by the meeting, declare their firm adherence to the doctrine of popular sovereignty embraced in the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Cincinnati platform, and recognize the right of the people of Kansas, through the legally and fairly expressed will of the majerity of actual residents, to form a constitution, with or without démestic slavery, and be admitted into the Union upon an equality with the other States; that the Lecompton constitution, is the offspring of usurpation and fraud, and not the act and deed of the people of Kansas, and to impose it upon them would be an act of gross injustice . and tyranny, in contravention of the plighted faith of the Democratic party, and subversive of the principles of self-gevernment; that the enforcement of this instrument on an unwilling people, against their known and expressed will, must lead to the most unfurtunate and disastrous consequences to the Democratic party ; that the only teats of party fealty which are acknowledged are those preseribed by the regularly constituted National Conventions, and they repudiate the attempt to make the admission of Kansas uoder the Lecompton constitetien a test of Democratic orthodexy. They approve of the resolutions passed by the Democratic members of the Legislature of that State, against the admission ef Kansas, and applaud the courage and wisdom ef Senator Douglas, bie associates in Congress, and others, in their vindication of popular sovereignty. A committee was appointed to confer with similar committees in other States, in relation to the helding of = grand mass convention of the Demoeracy ef the Northwest. Among the letters read on the occasion, was one from Senater Broderick, which we annex : Wasninotow, D. C., March 6th, 1858. Guntiemun : Your invitation to be present at a meetiog in Columbus, Ohio, the object of which is to protest against the passage of the Lecomptom Constitution, bas been received, and I much regret that duties bere will prevent my attendance. I will, however, take thie epportunity to say, that it affords me great satisfaetion te perceive that the Democratic masses are waking up to the importance of the issues involved in the Kansas question, and to the enormity of the fraud which the Administration is seeking to force upon the country in their name. It might seem surprising that the people have not exhibited this interest before. but when it is-considered that they bad nothing to attract their attention to the Kansas question but the common ery of fraud, and only looked upon it as the opening of an apparently new chapter in the slavery topic, their long repugnance to its discussion is the more easily understeod. Now, however, it is rapidly becoming known that slavery is not the material feature of the present contest. The real issue is, the right of white men to govern themselves and to have a voice in the adoption of the Constitution under which they are to live. When this shall be theroughly understood, we shall doubtless receive an earnest response. There cannot possibly be any indifference in the public mind on such an issue as this, I have great confidence, notwithstanding the Democratic votes in Congress, which, in the culpable silence of their constituents, have ranged themselves with the President in his Kansas tyranny, that the day will soon come when no Demoerat can be found to acknowledge that he ever countenanced the monstrous doctrine, that fraud ean be rendered acceptable by any forms of legal technicalities, or that a free people should be obliged to accept a government which they were denied the right to reject or ratify, Trusting that your meeting may be speedily followed by others of a similar character, I am, gentlemen, Very truly yours, ete., D. C. Broperick. To Henry B. Payne, Charles J. Foster, A. L. Miller, and others. TS SESS ESD RN £7 RE RRLAS S 5 PES ETA LS ETO 1S CLS FOR CITY MARSHAL. We are authorized to announce Wm. J.
