Mana SF th pee % rs of public i we coneie uty of a 2 in me t ve those fnterested to f Buta paper that endeavo to suppress the truth, and gives a false coloring to the facts, either for the purpose of screening personal friends from merited reproach, or from motives less worthy, is unworthy of the sdpport: of an intelligent community. In such a position did the conductors of the Journal place that sheet, when it professed to give an account of the escape of Alex. Griffin, and such would have been our position had we said less than we did, in giving an account of the same matter, in our last issue. Griffiia had been convicted of murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. He concluded to appeal to the Supreme Court, and paid his attorneys for filing the necessary papers, although they had not the remotest idea that a new trial would be granted, from the fact that there was nothing on record from which to appeal. Even had a new trial been granted, he could scarcely have ercaped another conviction. He was ordered back to the Nevada jail, to await the action of the Supreme Court. Under such circum stances, his movements should have been closely watched. for it must have been apparent to every one knowing the facts, that the appeal was taken hy him for the purpose of getting an opportunity to make his escape. For giving » few facts connected with Griffiin’s escape, it seems that we have raised the ire of somebody, who gave vent to his rage in a long article, devoted to our annihilation, which duly appeared in that receptacle of billingrgate, the Nevada Journal. The fowl language of the Journal we shall pass over, for we are not disposed to insult our readers by answering it in kind, but shall devote a short space to the elucidation of facts. In giving the inteligenee of Griffin’s escape, we said that he had ‘been permitted at times to walk about town on parole, to see his frienda, and had always returned to jail according to promise ;” and again, that “the negligence of the officers in allowing Griffin to walk about town, unattended, and unwatched, seems nnaccountable.”” The Journal, after quoting these statements, says : “Now the statements in the above quotations are tota! ly false. Griffin on No occasion wan allowed to walk about town to see his friends, on parole. He was not allowed te leave the jail unattended or unwatched. On two occasions only was he ever outside of the bars, and then did not leave the jail three hundred yards, and n each occasion wan attended and closely watched by the jailor, Mr. Lenhart. His parole was never taken or trusted to. He was in strict custody of an officer. We believe the Nemocrat knew these facts, and that its assertions are malicious, If it did not, it had ample means for information, and should have used them before publishing its libellous charges.’’ Now we ehall give a few particulars, that the public may judge whether the above quotations are “totally false.’’ McConnell & Niles were the attorneys for Griffin, Their office is on the second floor of Kidd & Knox’s brick building. which bas an entrance both from Broad and Pine streets. One day while Mr. Niles wae writing in his office, he heard the door open, and on looking round saw Griffin enter; he came in, sat down, talked about his case, and informed Mr. Niles that he was out on parole. After talking a few minutes he left. No officer was with him. At another time Griffin wasseen by J.C. Malbon, standing in front of the Post Office. Malbon looked expressly to see whether or not an officer was in attandance, but saw none, and concluded for that reason that Griffia had been let ont by the Judge on bail. At another time Griffin went to Shellhorn’s brewery, remained some time, and drank six or seven glasses of ale. This brewery is more than ‘three hundred yards’’ from the jail, and on this ‘‘eccasion” he was not ‘attended and closely watched by the jailor, Mr. Lenbart.’’ Some one accompanied Griffin to the brewery, but who he was we cannot learn. Griffin told Mr, Shellhorn that he had hired the man to go with him as a guard. About two weeks before his escape, Alex. Griffin came alone to the meat market of Charlea Kent, on Pine street, where he re mained fifteen or twenty minutes, Ashe left, he borrowed half a dollar of John O'Brien, ‘to get something to drink.’”’ O’Brien watched him as he went to Blaze’s Saloon. looked particularly for an officer, but saw none. Griffin met a Grass Valley friend in front of the saloon, with whom he talked for some time, after which they went in, and we presume “imbibed.”’ At one time Griffin was allowed to remain outside of the jail and saw wood, while Mr. Lenbart went over to Main street and ate his dinner, and no one was watching him. He was seen by Henry Knerr and Geo. Kendall. The latter asked Lenhart if it was safe to leave Griffin there; Lenbart said it was. At another time Griffiu was in a house of illfame, en Commercial street, where he remained for half or three-quarters of an hour. No offi cer was with him; we are oot at liberty to publish the names of the parties who raw him there, but the fact can be substantiated if necessary. The statements made above can be proven in a court of justice, if necessary, and we think they are amply sufficient to authorize all that was eaid in the Democrat of last week. Now in regard to his being ‘closely watehed.’ Mr. Lenbart says that when Griffin was in the office of McConnell & Niles, he (Lenhart) was standing in front of Blaze’s saloon, watching him. The Journal may consider thie close watching; we regard it as no watching at all. It seems to be a mere difference of opinion, and we leave it with those acquainted with the loealities to judge which is correct. When Griffin was at the Post Office, Mr. Lenbart rays he was watching him from the corner of Pine and Broad streets. (Ye cannot prove that he was not there; Mr. Malbon, however, did not see him or any other officer on the street. Even if Lenhart was there, he was jagt in & convenient distance to allow his prisoner to run off. In regard to other times when Griffin was seen at large, we have no information as to his being watched, except what is already given. Iu regard to what we said last week, that many believed the prisoner left while out on parole, we can only say that such talk was common on the atreets. The statement of the Journaé that we insinuated that Mr. Boring had sawed off the bare to ‘create the impression’’ that Griffin had broke jail, is entirely gratuitous. We insinuated nothing of the kind. Of all the men that ever held office in the couaty, Mr. Boring is the last whom we should suspect of attempting such a deception. Bat he is liable to be deceived, and we believe he is, even now ignorant of the many liberties whieh have Octavian Hoogs is our Agent for San Francisco. wr tathorised to receive advertisements, and collect and ‘peosipt for the same.

Court Fses.—Our Sacramento correspondentiealls autention toa matter connected with "the court feesof the 14th Judicial District, which requires explanation. The County Clerk is required by law to collect three dollars from every party commencing 8 suit in the District . Court, This money is paid to the Judge, who gives a receipt for the same; the Clerk is requir‘ed to file the receipt with the State Controller, . gad the amount thus paid is deducted from the salary received by the Jadge from the State. . Mecording to the Controller’s report Judge Searls had received his entire salary from the Btate forthe past year. On inquiring at the Clerk's office, we learned the following facts: Bince the commencement of Mr. Shoemaker’s term, there has been $1,755 paid in as court fees. Of this amount $300 was paid to the Judge over a year ago, and $1,455 has been paid within the paet week or two. By some means the receipt for $300 was mislaid in the Clerk’s office, and never forwarded to the Controller. But when attention was called to the matter by the publication of the Controller’s report, the receipt was found, and the balance of the court fees were paid over to the Judge, and the two receipts have since been forwarded to the Controller’s offiee. The full amount of $1,755 will of course be deducted from Judge Searls’ salary for the present year. We know nothing as to what has become of the court fees of Sierra county, but the probability is, the Clerk has negleeted to pay them over. So far as this county is concerned, we are happy to be enabled to state that the matter ia all right. It is proper to state that the officers cannot, even if no disposed, cheat the State out of the court fees, without being detected. Firat Drrcm 1x Tux Mixes.—We notice a paragraph going the rounds of the papers, etating that the first ditch for the conveyance of water to dry diggings was cut in 1850, at Yankee Jim’s, Placer county. The editor of the Iowa Hill Patriot, however, says be resided at Yan. -kee Jim's in 1851, andif any ditch bad been ‘eonstructed there prior to that timo it must have dried up and blown away. If the construction of ditches, as well as in mest other mining improvements, we believe Nevada county is abead of all other counties in thé State. Tho first ditch, to convey water any distance for mining purposes, was dug here in 1850, and wae in full operation in May of that year. The Cayote and Deer Creek ditches were commenced the same year, and in the spring of 1851 were running large quantities of water to the diggings about Nevada. A numberof other ditchos were commenced in this county, and we believe some of them were completed, in 1851. . Tus Paci Ratroap Bitt.—Many days have been occupied in the U. S. Senate, during the present session, in the discussion of the various Pacific Railroad projects before that body. The 18th and 19th of January was spent in voting on the several substitutes and amendments, and the bill was then ordered to be printed, so that the members could form some idea of the character of the bill. The votes so far as taken, indicates that a majority of the Senators are in favor of the construction of the road, but itis somewhat doubtful whether a majority will favor any one project. There is no reliable data upoo which to form an opinjon as to the probable fate of the bill in the House. The special committee, appointed at the commencement of the session to consider the subject, have decided that it would be unwise and inexpedient for the government to commence the construction of the road at present, The chances are that the bill will not be passed at this session. Tae Mexican Presipent.—Gen. Manuel Miramon, who at last accounts was President of Mexico, is but twenty-seven years of age. He first attracted notice for his military qualities abotta year ago. On the death of Gen. Osollow, ast summer, he was placed at the head of the army, and signalized bie promotion by a decisive victory over Vidaurri, near San Luis Potosi, in September. Reeently he defeated Degollado, near Guadalajara, and captured that city. He has hitherto acted with the Church party. Hie elevation is doubtless due to admiration of his military achievements, but it remains to be seen whether he has corresponding administrative talents. It is barely possible he may succeed in establishing bis government on a firm basis, but the probability is; that before this time he has been deposed, and that some other man is elevated to the chief magistracy, Saonamexto Exxcrion.—The Democratic Central Committee of Sacramento have nominated Chas. Duncombe for re-election to the Assembly, from which he was so unjustly ousted. Dr. Duncombe, we learn, will receive the united support of the Democracy of the county. The odds and ends of other parties have united upon one Bgcon, who was put up by the Lecompton Central Committee. The election takes place next Saturday, Tas Streamer Uncie Sam, whieh left San Francisco on the 11th inst., for tae Colorado, baving on board several companies of U. S. teoope, encountered a gale, the first night out, and was compelled to put back. The most of the cargo was thrown overboard, in order to lighten the steamer, and the lose is estimated at $100,000. Tus Lyceum MinstReus gave entertainments at the Nevada Theater on Monday and Tuesday evenings. Backus, Epb. Horn, and Mike Mitchell were the principal attractions.

Eoutrax.--According to the almansce, s total eclipse of the moon will occur to-night, commencing a little after 12 o'olock. ‘ocummxrs.—We are indebted to Senator Burton, and Assemblymen Caldwell, Moore, Cohalan and Yonng for Legtelative Documente, PR” = sorte SRN been allowed Griffin. .He has given but little personal attention to the jail, but his deputies who bed ebarge of that institution, to use a mild term, bave been slightly remiss in their duty, aud if they attempt to clear themselves by eharging us with making false statements, they will find themselves floundering ‘in a sea of trouble.” We have still other facts which we ean give if necessary, to vindicate our statement of last week. We said nothing in malice, ner had we the least desire to injure any one connected ‘with the Sberiff’s office. We merely gave some of the leading facts, and should thus have dropped the matter had not the article in the Journal compelled us to relate some of the particulars of the case. We make no charges that Griffin did not break out of jail; but is it not reasonable to conclude that he took advantage of the liberties allowed him, to procure the necessary tools, and make arrangements with his friends, to effect an eseape? Had the Sheriff known that Griffin was allowed to be out on the streets, we are satisfied he would bave stopped it; for with this exception the prisoners have been carefuly guarded, since Mr. Boring’s term commenced. Now if the editor of the Journal has any regard for public opinion; any desire to disseminate correet information; or a particle of common decency in his composition, he will take back every word said in his last issue in regarc to this matter, and will also correct the misstatement made in a previous issue, to the effect that Griffin was convicted of manslughter, when in reality he was convicted of a higher crime, Board of County Snpervisors. The Board of Supervisors adjourned un Saturday, ontil the next regular term, having dispatched all the business before them. We give &@ summary of the more important business transacted. ; On Wednerday last, Aaron Davis, of Cherokec, was appointed Public Administrator for the unexpired termof F. H. Nicholson removed. The County Auditor was directed to credit the Sheriff, on account of property tax, with the sum of $4,716 84, the eame having been paid in under protest, for taxes on money invested in mining claims.

On Thursday a new School District was formed from that portion of Nevada District embraced within the following bounds . Commencing at the junction of Deer Creek and Gold Run, running thence up Gold Run and Gold Flat to the boundary line of Graes Valley. Thence west along said boundary liue to where the ridge road crosses said boundary line, from thence north to Deer Creck at Pleasant Flat, and from thence following the south bank of Deer Creek to the place of beginning. Moses F. Hoit and Orlando Evans were appointed by the Board to view out and locate a road from Buckeye Hill, in Nevada township, to Sweetland, and the Rond Overseer of that District was ordered to expend the sum of $300 on said road, when such location is made. A petition from citizens of Grass Valley township, asking for a county road to be located running from Hutcbing’s ranch, about seven miles south of Grass Valley, to the Lime Kilns, on Wolf Creek, and from thence to Johnson’s ranch, was granted, upon conditions set forth in the petition. Appropriations were made on the road fund to the amount of $700, to be applied upon bridges in different parts of the county.

Mana SF th pee % rs of public i we coneie uty of a 2 in me t ve those fnterested to f Buta paper that endeavo to suppress the truth, and gives a false coloring to the facts, either for the purpose of screening personal friends from merited reproach, or from motives less worthy, is unworthy of the sdpport: of an intelligent community. In such a position did the conductors of the Journal place that sheet, when it professed to give an account of the escape of Alex. Griffin, and such would have been our position had we said less than we did, in giving an account of the same matter, in our last issue. Griffiia had been convicted of murder in the second degree, and was sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment. He concluded to appeal to the Supreme Court, and paid his attorneys for filing the necessary papers, although they had not the remotest idea that a new trial would be granted, from the fact that there was nothing on record from which to appeal. Even had a new trial been granted, he could scarcely have ercaped another conviction. He was ordered back to the Nevada jail, to await the action of the Supreme Court. Under such circum stances, his movements should have been closely watched. for it must have been apparent to every one knowing the facts, that the appeal was taken hy him for the purpose of getting an opportunity to make his escape. For giving » few facts connected with Griffiin’s escape, it seems that we have raised the ire of somebody, who gave vent to his rage in a long article, devoted to our annihilation, which duly appeared in that receptacle of billingrgate, the Nevada Journal. The fowl language of the Journal we shall pass over, for we are not disposed to insult our readers by answering it in kind, but shall devote a short space to the elucidation of facts. In giving the inteligenee of Griffin’s escape, we said that he had ‘been permitted at times to walk about town on parole, to see his frienda, and had always returned to jail according to promise ;” and again, that “the negligence of the officers in allowing Griffin to walk about town, unattended, and unwatched, seems nnaccountable.”” The Journal, after quoting these statements, says : “Now the statements in the above quotations are tota! ly false. Griffin on No occasion wan allowed to walk about town to see his friends, on parole. He was not allowed te leave the jail unattended or unwatched. On two occasions only was he ever outside of the bars, and then did not leave the jail three hundred yards, and n each occasion wan attended and closely watched by the jailor, Mr. Lenhart. His parole was never taken or trusted to. He was in strict custody of an officer. We believe the Nemocrat knew these facts, and that its assertions are malicious, If it did not, it had ample means for information, and should have used them before publishing its libellous charges.’’ Now we ehall give a few particulars, that the public may judge whether the above quotations are “totally false.’’ McConnell & Niles were the attorneys for Griffin, Their office is on the second floor of Kidd & Knox’s brick building. which bas an entrance both from Broad and Pine streets. One day while Mr. Niles wae writing in his office, he heard the door open, and on looking round saw Griffin enter; he came in, sat down, talked about his case, and informed Mr. Niles that he was out on parole. After talking a few minutes he left. No officer was with him. At another time Griffin wasseen by J.C. Malbon, standing in front of the Post Office. Malbon looked expressly to see whether or not an officer was in attandance, but saw none, and concluded for that reason that Griffia had been let ont by the Judge on bail. At another time Griffin went to Shellhorn’s brewery, remained some time, and drank six or seven glasses of ale. This brewery is more than ‘three hundred yards’’ from the jail, and on this ‘‘eccasion” he was not ‘attended and closely watched by the jailor, Mr. Lenbart.’’ Some one accompanied Griffin to the brewery, but who he was we cannot learn. Griffin told Mr, Shellhorn that he had hired the man to go with him as a guard. About two weeks before his escape, Alex. Griffin came alone to the meat market of Charlea Kent, on Pine street, where he re mained fifteen or twenty minutes, Ashe left, he borrowed half a dollar of John O'Brien, ‘to get something to drink.’”’ O’Brien watched him as he went to Blaze’s Saloon. looked particularly for an officer, but saw none. Griffin met a Grass Valley friend in front of the saloon, with whom he talked for some time, after which they went in, and we presume “imbibed.”’ At one time Griffin was allowed to remain outside of the jail and saw wood, while Mr. Lenbart went over to Main street and ate his dinner, and no one was watching him. He was seen by Henry Knerr and Geo. Kendall. The latter asked Lenhart if it was safe to leave Griffin there; Lenbart said it was. At another time Griffiu was in a house of illfame, en Commercial street, where he remained for half or three-quarters of an hour. No offi cer was with him; we are oot at liberty to publish the names of the parties who raw him there, but the fact can be substantiated if necessary. The statements made above can be proven in a court of justice, if necessary, and we think they are amply sufficient to authorize all that was eaid in the Democrat of last week. Now in regard to his being ‘closely watehed.’ Mr. Lenbart says that when Griffin was in the office of McConnell & Niles, he (Lenhart) was standing in front of Blaze’s saloon, watching him. The Journal may consider thie close watching; we regard it as no watching at all. It seems to be a mere difference of opinion, and we leave it with those acquainted with the loealities to judge which is correct. When Griffin was at the Post Office, Mr. Lenbart rays he was watching him from the corner of Pine and Broad streets. (Ye cannot prove that he was not there; Mr. Malbon, however, did not see him or any other officer on the street. Even if Lenhart was there, he was jagt in & convenient distance to allow his prisoner to run off. In regard to other times when Griffin was seen at large, we have no information as to his being watched, except what is already given. Iu regard to what we said last week, that many believed the prisoner left while out on parole, we can only say that such talk was common on the atreets. The statement of the Journaé that we insinuated that Mr. Boring had sawed off the bare to ‘create the impression’’ that Griffin had broke jail, is entirely gratuitous. We insinuated nothing of the kind. Of all the men that ever held office in the couaty, Mr. Boring is the last whom we should suspect of attempting such a deception. Bat he is liable to be deceived, and we believe he is, even now ignorant of the many liberties whieh have Octavian Hoogs is our Agent for San Francisco. wr tathorised to receive advertisements, and collect and ‘peosipt for the same.

Court Fses.—Our Sacramento correspondentiealls autention toa matter connected with "the court feesof the 14th Judicial District, which requires explanation. The County Clerk is required by law to collect three dollars from every party commencing 8 suit in the District . Court, This money is paid to the Judge, who gives a receipt for the same; the Clerk is requir‘ed to file the receipt with the State Controller, . gad the amount thus paid is deducted from the salary received by the Jadge from the State. . Mecording to the Controller’s report Judge Searls had received his entire salary from the Btate forthe past year. On inquiring at the Clerk's office, we learned the following facts: Bince the commencement of Mr. Shoemaker’s term, there has been $1,755 paid in as court fees. Of this amount $300 was paid to the Judge over a year ago, and $1,455 has been paid within the paet week or two. By some means the receipt for $300 was mislaid in the Clerk’s office, and never forwarded to the Controller. But when attention was called to the matter by the publication of the Controller’s report, the receipt was found, and the balance of the court fees were paid over to the Judge, and the two receipts have since been forwarded to the Controller’s offiee. The full amount of $1,755 will of course be deducted from Judge Searls’ salary for the present year. We know nothing as to what has become of the court fees of Sierra county, but the probability is, the Clerk has negleeted to pay them over. So far as this county is concerned, we are happy to be enabled to state that the matter ia all right. It is proper to state that the officers cannot, even if no disposed, cheat the State out of the court fees, without being detected. Firat Drrcm 1x Tux Mixes.—We notice a paragraph going the rounds of the papers, etating that the first ditch for the conveyance of water to dry diggings was cut in 1850, at Yankee Jim’s, Placer county. The editor of the Iowa Hill Patriot, however, says be resided at Yan. -kee Jim's in 1851, andif any ditch bad been ‘eonstructed there prior to that timo it must have dried up and blown away. If the construction of ditches, as well as in mest other mining improvements, we believe Nevada county is abead of all other counties in thé State. Tho first ditch, to convey water any distance for mining purposes, was dug here in 1850, and wae in full operation in May of that year. The Cayote and Deer Creek ditches were commenced the same year, and in the spring of 1851 were running large quantities of water to the diggings about Nevada. A numberof other ditchos were commenced in this county, and we believe some of them were completed, in 1851. . Tus Paci Ratroap Bitt.—Many days have been occupied in the U. S. Senate, during the present session, in the discussion of the various Pacific Railroad projects before that body. The 18th and 19th of January was spent in voting on the several substitutes and amendments, and the bill was then ordered to be printed, so that the members could form some idea of the character of the bill. The votes so far as taken, indicates that a majority of the Senators are in favor of the construction of the road, but itis somewhat doubtful whether a majority will favor any one project. There is no reliable data upoo which to form an opinjon as to the probable fate of the bill in the House. The special committee, appointed at the commencement of the session to consider the subject, have decided that it would be unwise and inexpedient for the government to commence the construction of the road at present, The chances are that the bill will not be passed at this session. Tae Mexican Presipent.—Gen. Manuel Miramon, who at last accounts was President of Mexico, is but twenty-seven years of age. He first attracted notice for his military qualities abotta year ago. On the death of Gen. Osollow, ast summer, he was placed at the head of the army, and signalized bie promotion by a decisive victory over Vidaurri, near San Luis Potosi, in September. Reeently he defeated Degollado, near Guadalajara, and captured that city. He has hitherto acted with the Church party. Hie elevation is doubtless due to admiration of his military achievements, but it remains to be seen whether he has corresponding administrative talents. It is barely possible he may succeed in establishing bis government on a firm basis, but the probability is; that before this time he has been deposed, and that some other man is elevated to the chief magistracy, Saonamexto Exxcrion.—The Democratic Central Committee of Sacramento have nominated Chas. Duncombe for re-election to the Assembly, from which he was so unjustly ousted. Dr. Duncombe, we learn, will receive the united support of the Democracy of the county. The odds and ends of other parties have united upon one Bgcon, who was put up by the Lecompton Central Committee. The election takes place next Saturday, Tas Streamer Uncie Sam, whieh left San Francisco on the 11th inst., for tae Colorado, baving on board several companies of U.

We said nothing in malice, ner had we the least desire to injure any one connected ‘with the Sberiff’s office. We merely gave some of the leading facts, and should thus have dropped the matter had not the article in the Journal compelled us to relate some of the particulars of the case. We make no charges that Griffin did not break out of jail; but is it not reasonable to conclude that he took advantage of the liberties allowed him, to procure the necessary tools, and make arrangements with his friends, to effect an eseape? Had the Sheriff known that Griffin was allowed to be out on the streets, we are satisfied he would bave stopped it; for with this exception the prisoners have been carefuly guarded, since Mr. Boring’s term commenced. Now if the editor of the Journal has any regard for public opinion; any desire to disseminate correet information; or a particle of common decency in his composition, he will take back every word said in his last issue in regarc to this matter, and will also correct the misstatement made in a previous issue, to the effect that Griffin was convicted of manslughter, when in reality he was convicted of a higher crime, Board of County Snpervisors.

On Thursday a new School District was formed from that portion of Nevada District embraced within the following bounds . Commencing at the junction of Deer Creek and Gold Run, running thence up Gold Run and Gold Flat to the boundary line of Graes Valley. Thence west along said boundary liue to where the ridge road crosses said boundary line, from thence north to Deer Creck at Pleasant Flat, and from thence following the south bank of Deer Creek to the place of beginning. Moses F. Hoit and Orlando Evans were appointed by the Board to view out and locate a road from Buckeye Hill, in Nevada township, to Sweetland, and the Rond Overseer of that District was ordered to expend the sum of $300 on said road, when such location is made.
