Contests ror Sreaker.—Within the past
twenty years, there have been three instances of
a long delay in organizing the House of Representatives, and on each occasion the eontest
was as bitter, as that going on at Wasbington at the latest dates, . In 1839-40, towards
the close of Van Buren’s administration, the
House, which met early in December, did not
succeed in electing a Speaker until about the
first of January. The choice then fell upon R.
M. T. Hunter, now a U.S. Senator and professed Democrat. from Virginia, but then a Whig,
and serving in the House of Representatives.
Again, in 1849-50, there was along delay io
the organization. The candidates for Speaker
were R. C. Winthrop, Whig, of Massachusetts,
and Howell Cobb, Democrat, of Georgia. Winthrop was regarded as unsound on the slavery
question by many of the Southern Whigs, and
they refused to support him. After balloting
three or four weeks, the plurality rule being
adopted Cobb was elected. The House of Representatives Which convened in December 1855,
did not suceeed in electing a Speaker until February 1856, a period of nine or ten weeks, N.
P. Banks, Republican, of Massachusetts, was
then elected by the plurality rule, similar to
that adopted in 1850, He received 103 votes
to 100 cast for Wm. Akin, Democrat, of South
Carolina,
Deatu or Ronert Hotmes,—The late news
from Europe informs us of the death, at the advanced age of ninety-five yeare, of Robert
Holmes, for many years the father of the Irish
bar, and the last survivor of that band of gifted
men, whose genius illuminated the bar and senate of Ireland at the commencement of the
present century. Ile was an intimate and devoted friend of Robert Emmet, whose sister he
had married, but had so completely wibdrawn
himself from polities for over fifty years, that
his name was but little known, He was one of .
the most gifted advocates, and his last and perhaps greatest forensic effort was in 1848, when
be aeted as counsel for John Mitchell, in the
State prosecution whieb consigned the latter to
penal exile,
ANOTHER BattLe 1N Monocco.—Among the
items of European news, is an account of another battle between the Moors aud Spaniards,
in Morocco, The Moors attacked the Spanish
encampment, but were defeated, and the Span.
iards advanced as far as Guaspellagos. The
Moors were forty thousand strong, aad lost fifteen hundred men. The Spaniards lost five
hundred.
ANOTHER QUICKSILVER Mine.—The Jose Reporter chronicles the discovery of an extensive
vein of rich eiunabar, near Livermore’s ranch.
The vein was discovered by a Mexican Vacaro,
who immediately went down to the San Jose
Mission, and, like Esau of old, sold bis fortune
for a megs of pottage. In other words, he sold
his right of discovery for about twenty dollars
worth of clothes,
ExGuisu Axes.—The Directors of the Grand
Trunk Railroad, in Canada, were recently in
want of a large nember of axes, but having no
faith in Yankee manufacturers, got a ecientific
man to invent a pattern of the axes required,
and sent to England to have the same made.
in due time two thousand five bundred axes
were sent to Canada, but not one of the whole
number had a hole to reeeive the handle!
Free NeGcrors 1N Missourt.—A bill to en.
slave the free negroes of Missouri, or such of
them as may be found in the State after the
first of September next, passed both branches
of the State Legislature. The bill was handed
to Governor Stewart a day or two previous to
the adjournment, who neglected to sign it, consequently it bas not become a law.
AvDULTBRATION or Nitric Acip,—Dr. Robt. P.
Chase. of San Fraucieco, who has heretefore
been considered as respectable, was discovered
on the evening of the 7th inst., engaged in an
attempt to adulterate the nitric acid that is
used in the mint. The doctor is an old resident of San Francisco, having lived there since
1852.
Tasatrical Hit.—Not long since, a young
debutante, at @ New Orleans theater, in making
her first appearance on the stage, caught her
foot in the carpet and tumbled full length. The
critios emy ehe made a decided hit—for she tumbled first on her head and saw stars.
Heautu oy Jupex Dovaiss.—The latest accounts from Washington represent that Judge
Douglas is gradually improving in health. It}
was his intention to ge to Florida as soon as he .
was able to travel. .
Proresson AnpERSON, the “W.zzard of the
North,” as he calls himself, gave a number of .
. entertainments at the Marysville Theater last
week.
Tue Grargs Crop oy Los AxogLes.—From
the letter of a Los Angeles correspondent, we
learn that 12,187 boxes of grapes, valued at
$36,561, and 110,600 gallons of wine, valued
at $113.000, have been shipped from the port
of San Pedro during the year 1859. The writer adds:
“There has been a considerable deerease in
the amount of grapes shipped in comparison
with former years, buta proportionate increase
in the manofacture and shipment of wine is the
result, as an offset. A large portion of the
vintage of °58 is still on hand, which, with the
. vintage of ’59, leaves a considerable amount in
the hands of the producers. There seems to be
no disposition among them to part with their
their stock until age shall have ripened it so as
to make the enhanced value of the wine pay the
interest on the capital invested, together with
a greater margin of profit.’’

Indian Affairs In Calitornia.
The following is an extract from the report
of the Secretary of the Interior in regard to Indian affairs in California :
The management of our Indian affairs in California has been attended with a varicty of difficulties. Neither the government of the United
States nor the State of California recognizes in
the Indians any right of exclusive oecupancy
to any specifie lands, Reservations have been

Mvrver at Honey Laxe.—A man
named Deming was murdered Indians at Willow
creek, in Honey Lake Valley, January 24th.
of his brother, A. J.
Deming: ‘I came to Roopto
grinding my axe. U

cabin, hallooed three times, but received no answer.
I returned to Rooptown, raised a party and returned
to the cabin, where we d my brother, who had
beev shot three times, in the breast and face, with
buck-shot, by Indians. I think the Indians watehed
provided by law ; a large number of Indians . until they caught my brother out of the cabin, then

them, and large sums of money have beeuexpended to establish them, with the hope that
they would soou learu to suppert themselves by
their own labor, and gradually become eivilized.
Through the mismanagement and neglect of
our employees, the iaterference of our citizens,
and the apparent impossibilit
system of California has proved a failure.
the goverument cannot relieve itself from all
obligation to make provision for this destitute
population,
The Indians of California divide themselves
into two general classea by their respective
localities, Those living in Southern California
having already made some progress in civilization under the Mexieau Mission system, are
scattered in smal! bands, cultivate the soil, and
subsist in part upon the preducts of their own
labor, For the security aud happiness of these
nothing more need be done by government
than to insure them the quiet, undisturbed possession of their present homes, keeping up pos
sibly a single general reservation. And to effect this no additional legislation is required,
The Indiausin Northern California, with
some exceptions, are roving, thriftless, idle and
debased ; often provoking the vengeance of the
settlers, who are thus provoked to acts of violence.
In this division of the State, some reservations, some retreats, mast be prepared for the
reception of those who cannot obtain employment from our citizens, and thus become vagrants and nuisances to the community. Such .
Iodians might be removed by force, if necestary, to the reservations, and there be compelled
to labor, With an anxious desire to devise
some plan of operations which promises to secure the welfare of the Lidians ou the one hand,
of inducing . assistance.

is, as its name implies, an immense quantity o
shells, thrown up and _e continually added to,
by every tide, and stretches from the mouth of Redwood Creek, southward about a mile. It is composed of small oyster shells; with a few clams and
mussels, which, from the continual action of the
waves at high tide and the heat of the sun at low
water are bleached to an almost snowy whiteness,
The existance of this shell-bank is said to be owi
to the war of extermination waged by the sm
crabs upon the oysters. It is said that while the
infant bivalves are basking with half-open mouths,
in the enjoyment of their peculiar happiness, or
while listening with open jaws to some whopper”
being told by one of their number, the murderous
erabs pounce upon them, and by forch of claws,
(not arms,) then and there feast upon and destroy
them. However this may be, the shells are there,
There are many hundred thousand tons of these
shining remains of slain bivalves on the island, and
if it were as near to a large Eastern port as it is to
San Francisco, would be an independent fortune to
its owners. They are well adapted to gardens and
sidewalks, and would be a most excellent material

“Edwin Booth is evidently a prime favorite

with a large house on Monday, his audiences
appear to have been marked by greater numbers and brilliancy on each subsequent occasion. He was very much at home in Iago last
night, and showed, as on former occasions, that
the charaoter is in his best Jine of acting. His
supple figure, his intellectual features delicately but sharply defined, his large, dark, lustrous
eyes, varying in expression to suit the purposes of a dextrous hypocrite, or to reflect a satanic malignity; and his voiee, changing from
tones of honest blaffness or gentle entreaty to
chrystaline articulations of sinister thought—
all combine to fit him eminently for exhibiting
the most subtle, accomplished, heartless and
overmastering spirit of intrigue and malignity
which exists in the whole range of the drama.’’
