The intelligence from the Eastern States, a full summary of which will be found in our columns to-day, is of considerable interest.— The Kansas discussion in Congress is deeidedly the most exciting topic of the day. It will be seen that the resolution of Mr. Harris, for the appointment of a special committee to invertigate and report upon all the facts connected with the Lecompten Constitution, was earried by a vote of 115 to 111. This was considered a test vote, the Lecompton men being defeated by @ majority of four votes. The vote is said to be the largest ever recorded in the House of Representatives, there being but eight absentees. Of the probable result of this contest, but little idea ean be formed, The Lecompten Constitution will doubtless be carried in the Senate by two or three majority, and the great contest will be in the House. Both parties claim a majority of three or four on the final vote. The “free fight,’’ which occurred in the House of Representatives on the morning of Feb. 6th, was not only disgraceful but highly amusing. It wasa subject of serious dispute among the politicians in Weshington, whether Col. Keitt was knocked down or pushed down; but all admit that he went down. Petter, of Wisconsin, who is said to have been the “champion of the ring,’” had an “eyo in mourning” the next morning, and Barksdale, ef Miss., during the melee, lost all the “hair on the top of his head.”” Potter caught him by the hair, expecting to get only a handful, when to his astenishment it all came off. Barkedaie endeayored to get it, but Potter threw it over among the erowd, some one of whom kindly took charge of it, and restored it to the owner after the fight was ended. The affray caused considerable sensation in Washington. Anti-Lecompton meetings had been held by the Democrats of New York, Philadelphia, Albany, and many other places in the Northern Btates, The army bill passed its most difficult crisis in the Senate, Feb. 18th, by a vote of 26 to 26. All the Republicans, except Mr. Seward, together with Messrs, Bell. Crittenden, Toombs, Pugh. Houston, Gwin, ,Pearce, and Johnson of Tennessee, voted against the bill, The original bill was an administration measure, but had been amended so as to limit the increase to two years. The fate of the billin the House is doubtful. J The editor of the San Juan Star, seems desirous of bringing his town into notoriety, He has recently made the discovery that the editors of the Nevada papers are jealous of the rising importance of San Juan, and fer that reason they denouneed the shooting of Reynolds, and approved the shooting of Ridgely. “San Juan,” says the Star, “is fast growing in importance, and may ere long eclipse Nevada.”’ “Andit is the thought of all this that makes the editors of the Journal and Democrat so jealous of eur people and town.’’ We muat say that the editor of the Star sees clear through the mill stone, and we cannot refrain, even at our own expense, from congratulating the people of San Juan on their good fortune in having secured the eervices of such an acute and penetrating genius to conduct their organ. We hope the town will rise very rapidly to the importance predicted, for the genius aforesaid is altogether too brilNant to be confined within the limits of auch a small place as San Juan is at present. Tux Case or Arcuy, caused considerable excitement in San Francisce, last week. Arohy was taken before Judge Freelon on the writ of habeas corpus, and with the consent of Stovall’s attorneys discharged, He was immediately arrested by the U. 8. Marshal, on a werrant issued by Commissioner Johnson, as a fugitive slave. On Saturday the case was postponed until the 29th inst., to give the friends of Archy an opportunity to procure witnesses from different parts of the State. Stovall made an afidavit to the effect that Areby had escaped from service in Mirsissippi, and came to California. Tf this'should prove to be the fact the Commiesioner will of course remand Arcby into his custody. It will be remembered, however, that Archy was once brought before Commissioner Johnson, at Sacramento, and discharged for the reason that he did not run away, but was brought te this State by his master, and could not be regarded as a fugitive slave. Expctsion or 4 Rerorter.—Mr. Weed, the reporter of the San Francisco 7tmes, was excluded from the reporter’s seat, in the Assembly Hall, by a vote of that body last week. Mr. Weed, it seems, had incorporated in one of his communications a rumor to the effect that one Dr. Ormsby & member of the Assembly from Sonoma county, was connected with Schoyer, in endeavoring to levy black-mail upon the auctioneers of San Francisco. A committee was appointed at the same time to investigate the matter, and ascertain whether there is any truth in the charge. Should the charge prove to be true, the Assembly will probably re-instate the offending reporter. Kansas Meeting IN Marysvitix.—A meeting of the Democracy was held in Marysville last Wednesday evening, to hear a discussion on the Kansas question. Speeches were made by Messrs. McCorkle, Bryan and Wheeler against the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, and by Mr. Montgomery in favor of the President’s policy. Resolutions were read endorsing the position of Judge Douglas, and the ayes and noes called on their adoption. The President decided that the resolutions were carried. Itis a matter of dispute, hewever, which party was the stronger, as both claim to have had a majority. More Piants.—A fresh supply of rose bushes, geraniums, and a variety of bulbous plants, from Smith’s gardens, Sacramento, has been received and are now offered for sale by Mr. J. M. Levey, on Main street, Pos. Docs.—We are under obligations to our Important Supreme The decision of the Supreme Court im the ease of Biddle Boggs vs. the Meat See Com justly be regarded as of considporay we ont The suit was brought by the plaintiff to obtain possession of land acquired by Col. Fremont in Mariposa county, under » Mexican grant, and to recover damages sustained by the carrying on of miming operations upon it by the defendants. The District Court decided in favor of the plaintiff, and the defendants appealed te the Supreme Court.— The decision wae rendered by Judge Burnett, who holde that the title to the minerals in the soil is vested in the government of the United States. By the terms of the original grant, the minerals are expressly reserved to the geverament of Mexieo, and passed by treaty to the United States, and has not passed from the United States te the owner of the grant. Judge Burnett alse helds that the title in fee simple held by Cel. Fremont to the land in question, does net debar the defendants from extracting the gold therefrom; that the ownership of the gold fnecessarily carries with it the right to search and dig for it; and that the defendants are working under an implied license from the U.S. government. Chief Justice Terry concurs in the judgment, but expresses wo opinion as to whether the gold belongs to the United States, or to the State of California. Judge Field dissents from the judgment of the Court, but has not written out any opinion in the case. As this case is of considerable importance, and directly affects the rights of Mexican grant helders, it will undoubtedly be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. The conclusion of Judge Burnett, that the gold in lands held under Mexican grants, is vested in the government of the United States, we believe will be sustained by the Federal Courts. Tue Kansas Resoivtions.—The Assembly resolutions, instructing our delegatien in Congress to vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompten Constitution, passed the Senate last Wednesday, by a vote of 20 ayes to 15 nays, In all probability the question will be settled long before the resolutions reach Washington ; but whether settled or not, it is not likely the résolutions will have any effect upon the vote of either of eur representatives in Congress. They had already taken their position when the resolutions were introduced into the Assembly, and will ef course act according to their own ideas of whatis right. The following is the vote on the final passnge of the reselutiens: A Messrs. Anderson, Baker, Berry, Burch, Coulter, Dickinson, Ferguson of Sierra, Garter, Gregory, Hamm, Holden, Johnsen of El Dorade, Ketchum, Lewis, Merritt, Maloney, Pacheco, Rogers, Talliaferro and Thom—20. Noes—Mensre, Allen, Burton, Bell, Carpenter, Chase, Fergusen of Sacramento, Goodwin, Grant, Griffith, Hart, Johnson of Sacramento, Mesick, Phelps, Soule, Sullivan—15, TrieGrara ComPanies.—An important case, as affecting the rights of the California telegraph companies, has been pending in the District Court ef San Francisco. By an act of the Legislature, the State Telegraph Co., have the exclusive right te transmit dispatehes from San Francisco to Sacramento, by way of San Jose and Stockton, The Alta Telegraph Co, have erected a line over the same route, and the first mamed company applied fer an injunction to restrain them from sending dispatches, The Alta line set up the provision of the conatitution against menopolies by corporations, and Judge Nerton concurred in the views urged, and refused te grant the injunction. OnSaturday the case was brought up again, and the old line showed that on account of an omissien in the practice act ef California, they would not be able to carry the question in the case te the Supreme Court, as they desired, as the practice act provides for appeals only in cases where injunctions are granted or dissolved, saying nothing abeut cases where injunctions are denied. Jndge Norton, therefore, for the purpose of Allowing an appeal, granted an injunction against the A)ta or new line, proforma, and = mor a isselved it, The old line will appeal. Taat But or Sarz.—The editor of the Journal gives @ process of reasoning by which he arrives at the conelusion, from an expression used some weeke ago in the Democrat, that we once held a sham bill of sale for the Telegraph. We shall not attempt to controvert his system of logic, but will inform him that no kind ‘of a bill of sale, cither “sham” or ‘‘real,’’ waa ever “made by the editor of the Zelegraph to the editor of the Democrat,” nor have we ever said any thing by which such an inference eould be drawn. The bill of sale referred to was made by Mr. 8. Thomas; the property was mortgaged te him for the purchase money, and we considered him the “real” owner. More or Tom Beiu’s Gano.—Twe men said to have belonged to the gang ef highwaymen led by the noterious Tom Bell, were arrested in San Francisco, last Wednesday night. They were found in a drinking saloon. Their names are James Williams and Thomas Richards.— Another man named Peter Germain, who was fonnd in their company, was aleo arrested. — They were all well armed and seemed to be flush in funds. Convicrep.—Marion Whithurst, indicted for the murder of A. A. Mason, in Placer county, last May, was convicted on Tuesday the 16th, of murder in the second degree. The case was tried in San Francisco. Another man, indicted with Whithurst, is alec to be tried in San Francisco. ATLantio Parurs.—We are indebted te J. E. Hamlin, of Broad Street Book Store, for copies of the New York Herald, Tribune, Times, and Boston Journal; Geo.

Why cause the healing wound te bleed afresh? Why: stir up the dying embers and add fuel to the fire. This “qleereus eancer’”’ eentinues to decrease gradually year by yeas. Should we not be glad yea rejoice, that now we can say what could net be said afew years ago, that ‘this is a city where civilization, christian refinement, and virtuous families dwell.’’ Then let thanks dwell upon our lips and feelings of gratitude fill eur souls, that vice and immorality are declining in our midst, and virtue and purity steadily in the ascendent. “Over sealous virtue may be « vice, And fiying forward is sometimes sliding backward.’ Citizens of Nevada: suppose certain persons endowed with all the finer feelings of humanity, with power to speak in words of burning eloquence, gifted with that wisdom which winneth souls, should so far mistake the true state of affairs and injure the cause they try te sustain by advocating measures too severe, and using epithets altogether too harsh. Would you not say that their efforts may be well intended but badly directed; that they were incapable of contrasting the Nevada of 58 with the Nevada of 61-2, They were guilty of crying ‘danger, danger,’’ when there was no real danger. Their system of exposure don’t amonnt even to a negative, to say nothing of a positive good. Would you not say that such communications as ‘‘Parent,” and “Another Parent’? are addicted to writing, are calculated to prejudice the minds of those who have never been in Nevada against us, or give a false impress to the minds of virtuous families who purposed to make their home with us in this the best of California mountain towns. Mr. Editor—You may think this a little parodical or anti-utepian; but when pop-guns er any other kind of guns, are being blindly fired, I think those using the ‘shooting irons’’ should use a little more discretion, at least such is the opinion of Dap’s own Son. rious affair occurred near San Juan, in Munterey county, on Saturday night, the 13th inst: The house of a Mr. Odem, situated about two miles from San Juan, was consumed by fire about one o’clock, with all its inmates, consisting of the wife and four children of Mr, Odem, and a young lady named Rachel Burns, who was teaching schoel in the neighborhood and boarding with the family. Mr. Odem had left home the day before on a journey to the Four Creeks. The house wis one story, constructed of light materials and lined with cotton cloth, The chimney in which a fire had been burning was in the largest sitting room, adjoining which were two small bed roems; ene of these was occupied by Mrs. Odem and three ehildren, the other by Miss Burns and one child. There was a window in each room. The wind blew violently on the night the calamity happened, aud in such a direction as to blow the flames and smoke away from the reoms ocoupied by the inmates. An inquest was held upon the bodies, but nothing elicited which threw any light upon the terrible event. It remains in doubt whether the fire was the result of accident, or whether it was set purposely, and the inmates prevented from making their escape by the incendiaries, The bedies were so charred that ne evidence of violence could be discovered upon them, The San Jose Telegraph thinks thatif the family were murdered there would have been traces of violence upon the bedies of some of the victims, or some indication around the premises to show the foot prints of the assassin. ALL THE Go.—We understand that since the spring fashions have been received, the hate and spring clothing ef our friend Sol Kohlman have been all the go. Everybody who desires to be in fashion, will do well to call at the corner of Broad and Pine streets, and examine his goods, Sorea.—Mrs. Ada Clark gives a “soiree’’ at Temperance Hall, Nevada, next Monday evening. These who would spend an evening pleasantly and agreeably, will not neglect to attend. Man Soot in Stocxton.—A dispatch to the State Journal, dated at Stockton, March 2Ist, eays: A man, by the name of P. L. Riley, was shot by J. D. Burdick, this morning about 7 o’clock, in front of the Post Office. A feud had existed between the parties for sometime. This morning Riley eame up to Burdick, and after applying several insu ting epithets to him, drew a erg and snapped itathim, upon which B. rew and shot him in the neck, the ball passing downward and out under the left arm. B. then knocked him down and beat him over the head with his pistol. The wound is probably mortal, Qusries.—Suppose Mr Buchanan had taken the same position on the Lecompton Constitution question as that assumed by Douglas—suppose that he had said that the Lpcompten Constitution must be voted upon by the people of Kansas, as an entirety, before itean be received how many Democrats in the legislature or out of it would have raised their voices in opposition? Woulda single member have voted for resolutions instructing our Senators Tequestiag our Representatives to vote for the admission of Kansas with the Lecomptoa Constitution, ifthe President had opposed such admission? Would Collector Washington have written a lettar in favor of this course of policy, if the President had opposed it?— Shasta Courier. Farat Acctpmyt 1x Napa.—A most distressing accibent ocourred on Saturday afternoon on the farm of E.G. Winne, near this town, While in the field plowing, James Lennon was shot in the back, a little to the right of the spinal columa, by David Doak, receiving « wound of which he died the same evening. It seems that Doak was, at the fatal moment walking in an opposite direction with a shot gun upon his shoulder, when a projecting fragment of a fence rail caught and raised the gun hammer with sufficient force to explode the cap. An inquest was held on the body by G. W. Towle, acting Coroner, and a post mortem examination had by Destor Stelwagon, The verdict of the jary was in accordance with the statement here given — Napa Reporter, Feb 20th, P The following important business was transacted in the Assembly last Saturday : Mr. Batxovu asked leave to introduce the following resolution : Resolved, by the Assembly, the Senate eoneurring, That our Representatives in Congress be and they are herehy authorized and required to move and vote for the suspension of Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, from the floor of the House of Representatives until it can be ascertained. by a committee duly appointed by the Speaker, what was the ezact meaning of the lanage and action of suid Grow towards the Hon. r. Keitt, of South Carolina, pending the consideration of the Kansas qnestion in the House of Representatives on the morning of the 6th of Feb., A. D. 1858, or—resign. The House refused to suspend the rules to consider the resolution. Mr. Gray, of San Franeisco, asked leave to introduce the following : Resolved, That the Committee on Public Morala be hereby instructed to take into consideration the recent “personal diffieulty’’ between Messrs. Keitt and Grow, on the floor of the House of Representatives of the United States, and report to this house a resolution, or resolutions, expressing, in appropriate terms, the indignant horror of the majority of this House at the audacity of the Black Republican sectional agitator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Grow) in flogging a gentleman of purely national views and principles (Mr. Keitt) thus manifesting a spirit of opposition to the Constitution of the United States, and tothe measures and doctrines which will alone insure the perpetuity of our republican institutions and the preservation of our glorious Union.

After the close of his term he removed to Winnebago County Illinois, where he engaged ly in farming. On the 19th of May last Michael Bebb, a son of the ExGovernor, was married, at his father’s residence. On that oecasion about a dozen young men of the neighborhood fred to Gov. B’s house for the purpose of charivari. They fired guns, rung bells, and shouted, much to the annoyanee of the family. er this uo had continued about an hour. two shots were fired from the direction of the house, and a young man named Lemuel Clemens fell mortally wou by a gun in the hands of Gov. Bebb. It appeared in evidence that Gov. B. ordered the charivari party to leave ; that they all obeyed except two or three who rushed ina threatening manner towards him, when he fired. The trial lasted four days, resulting as we have already stated. Great interest was exci anda la crowd were in attendance throughout. Gov. Bebb was defended, among other counsel, by Hon. Thomas Corwin. A Washington correspondent relates the following ineident pevaeome with the fight in the House of Representatives on the 6th ult: ‘‘As seen from the reporters’ gallery, it presented a droll enough spectacle. There were some fifty middle-aged and elderly gentlemen pitching into each other like so many Tipperary savages—most of them incapable, from want of . wind and muscle of doing each other any serious hurt. Mr Barksdale of Mississippi, who was among the most active, encountered at ene moment Mr. Potter of Wisconsin, who was decidedly the champion of the ring. Potter grasped Barksdale by the hair, with the evident intention of putting that gentleman’s head into chancery. To his unutterable surprise and disappointment, the hair came off. The Mississippian was scalpel. He jumped about baldheaded, making frantic efforts to recover his wig, which Potter disdainfully tossed among the crowd, some one of whom kindly restored it to its proper owner.’” The New York Herald gives the following curious nautieal coincidences: ‘‘The steamer Atlantic, belonging to New York was lost ina gale some years since on Long Sound ; shortly after another steamer Atlantic was lest on Both accidents were attended with Ly ang ere The steamer Reindeer, running between New York and Albany, exploded her boilers on the North river, and within a few months thereafter, the steamer Reindeer, running on the Mississippi, exploded her boilers, and a great number of persons in both cases were killed.

Not long after this accident the clipper ship San Francisco was lost in going out of San Francisco . . river, while on her way to New York, and near bout the . ort of New York.

The intelligence from the Eastern States, a full summary of which will be found in our columns to-day, is of considerable interest.— The Kansas discussion in Congress is deeidedly the most exciting topic of the day. It will be seen that the resolution of Mr. Harris, for the appointment of a special committee to invertigate and report upon all the facts connected with the Lecompten Constitution, was earried by a vote of 115 to 111. This was considered a test vote, the Lecompton men being defeated by @ majority of four votes. The vote is said to be the largest ever recorded in the House of Representatives, there being but eight absentees. Of the probable result of this contest, but little idea ean be formed, The Lecompten Constitution will doubtless be carried in the Senate by two or three majority, and the great contest will be in the House. Both parties claim a majority of three or four on the final vote. The “free fight,’’ which occurred in the House of Representatives on the morning of Feb. 6th, was not only disgraceful but highly amusing. It wasa subject of serious dispute among the politicians in Weshington, whether Col. Keitt was knocked down or pushed down; but all admit that he went down. Petter, of Wisconsin, who is said to have been the “champion of the ring,’” had an “eyo in mourning” the next morning, and Barksdale, ef Miss., during the melee, lost all the “hair on the top of his head.”” Potter caught him by the hair, expecting to get only a handful, when to his astenishment it all came off. Barkedaie endeayored to get it, but Potter threw it over among the erowd, some one of whom kindly took charge of it, and restored it to the owner after the fight was ended. The affray caused considerable sensation in Washington. Anti-Lecompton meetings had been held by the Democrats of New York, Philadelphia, Albany, and many other places in the Northern Btates, The army bill passed its most difficult crisis in the Senate, Feb. 18th, by a vote of 26 to 26. All the Republicans, except Mr. Seward, together with Messrs, Bell. Crittenden, Toombs, Pugh. Houston, Gwin, ,Pearce, and Johnson of Tennessee, voted against the bill, The original bill was an administration measure, but had been amended so as to limit the increase to two years. The fate of the billin the House is doubtful. J The editor of the San Juan Star, seems desirous of bringing his town into notoriety, He has recently made the discovery that the editors of the Nevada papers are jealous of the rising importance of San Juan, and fer that reason they denouneed the shooting of Reynolds, and approved the shooting of Ridgely. “San Juan,” says the Star, “is fast growing in importance, and may ere long eclipse Nevada.”’ “Andit is the thought of all this that makes the editors of the Journal and Democrat so jealous of eur people and town.’’ We muat say that the editor of the Star sees clear through the mill stone, and we cannot refrain, even at our own expense, from congratulating the people of San Juan on their good fortune in having secured the eervices of such an acute and penetrating genius to conduct their organ. We hope the town will rise very rapidly to the importance predicted, for the genius aforesaid is altogether too brilNant to be confined within the limits of auch a small place as San Juan is at present. Tux Case or Arcuy, caused considerable excitement in San Francisce, last week. Arohy was taken before Judge Freelon on the writ of habeas corpus, and with the consent of Stovall’s attorneys discharged, He was immediately arrested by the U. 8. Marshal, on a werrant issued by Commissioner Johnson, as a fugitive slave. On Saturday the case was postponed until the 29th inst., to give the friends of Archy an opportunity to procure witnesses from different parts of the State. Stovall made an afidavit to the effect that Areby had escaped from service in Mirsissippi, and came to California. Tf this'should prove to be the fact the Commiesioner will of course remand Arcby into his custody. It will be remembered, however, that Archy was once brought before Commissioner Johnson, at Sacramento, and discharged for the reason that he did not run away, but was brought te this State by his master, and could not be regarded as a fugitive slave. Expctsion or 4 Rerorter.—Mr. Weed, the reporter of the San Francisco 7tmes, was excluded from the reporter’s seat, in the Assembly Hall, by a vote of that body last week. Mr. Weed, it seems, had incorporated in one of his communications a rumor to the effect that one Dr. Ormsby & member of the Assembly from Sonoma county, was connected with Schoyer, in endeavoring to levy black-mail upon the auctioneers of San Francisco. A committee was appointed at the same time to investigate the matter, and ascertain whether there is any truth in the charge. Should the charge prove to be true, the Assembly will probably re-instate the offending reporter. Kansas Meeting IN Marysvitix.—A meeting of the Democracy was held in Marysville last Wednesday evening, to hear a discussion on the Kansas question. Speeches were made by Messrs. McCorkle, Bryan and Wheeler against the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, and by Mr. Montgomery in favor of the President’s policy. Resolutions were read endorsing the position of Judge Douglas, and the ayes and noes called on their adoption. The President decided that the resolutions were carried. Itis a matter of dispute, hewever, which party was the stronger, as both claim to have had a majority. More Piants.—A fresh supply of rose bushes, geraniums, and a variety of bulbous plants, from Smith’s gardens, Sacramento, has been received and are now offered for sale by Mr. J. M. Levey, on Main street, Pos. Docs.—We are under obligations to our Important Supreme The decision of the Supreme Court im the ease of Biddle Boggs vs. the Meat See Com justly be regarded as of considporay we ont The suit was brought by the plaintiff to obtain possession of land acquired by Col. Fremont in Mariposa county, under » Mexican grant, and to recover damages sustained by the carrying on of miming operations upon it by the defendants. The District Court decided in favor of the plaintiff, and the defendants appealed te the Supreme Court.— The decision wae rendered by Judge Burnett, who holde that the title to the minerals in the soil is vested in the government of the United States. By the terms of the original grant, the minerals are expressly reserved to the geverament of Mexieo, and passed by treaty to the United States, and has not passed from the United States te the owner of the grant. Judge Burnett alse helds that the title in fee simple held by Cel. Fremont to the land in question, does net debar the defendants from extracting the gold therefrom; that the ownership of the gold fnecessarily carries with it the right to search and dig for it; and that the defendants are working under an implied license from the U.S. government. Chief Justice Terry concurs in the judgment, but expresses wo opinion as to whether the gold belongs to the United States, or to the State of California. Judge Field dissents from the judgment of the Court, but has not written out any opinion in the case. As this case is of considerable importance, and directly affects the rights of Mexican grant helders, it will undoubtedly be carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. The conclusion of Judge Burnett, that the gold in lands held under Mexican grants, is vested in the government of the United States, we believe will be sustained by the Federal Courts. Tue Kansas Resoivtions.—The Assembly resolutions, instructing our delegatien in Congress to vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompten Constitution, passed the Senate last Wednesday, by a vote of 20 ayes to 15 nays, In all probability the question will be settled long before the resolutions reach Washington ; but whether settled or not, it is not likely the résolutions will have any effect upon the vote of either of eur representatives in Congress. They had already taken their position when the resolutions were introduced into the Assembly, and will ef course act according to their own ideas of whatis right. The following is the vote on the final passnge of the reselutiens: A Messrs. Anderson, Baker, Berry, Burch, Coulter, Dickinson, Ferguson of Sierra, Garter, Gregory, Hamm, Holden, Johnsen of El Dorade, Ketchum, Lewis, Merritt, Maloney, Pacheco, Rogers, Talliaferro and Thom—20. Noes—Mensre, Allen, Burton, Bell, Carpenter, Chase, Fergusen of Sacramento, Goodwin, Grant, Griffith, Hart, Johnson of Sacramento, Mesick, Phelps, Soule, Sullivan—15, TrieGrara ComPanies.—An important case, as affecting the rights of the California telegraph companies, has been pending in the District Court ef San Francisco. By an act of the Legislature, the State Telegraph Co., have the exclusive right te transmit dispatehes from San Francisco to Sacramento, by way of San Jose and Stockton, The Alta Telegraph Co, have erected a line over the same route, and the first mamed company applied fer an injunction to restrain them from sending dispatches, The Alta line set up the provision of the conatitution against menopolies by corporations, and Judge Nerton concurred in the views urged, and refused te grant the injunction. OnSaturday the case was brought up again, and the old line showed that on account of an omissien in the practice act ef California, they would not be able to carry the question in the case te the Supreme Court, as they desired, as the practice act provides for appeals only in cases where injunctions are granted or dissolved, saying nothing abeut cases where injunctions are denied. Jndge Norton, therefore, for the purpose of Allowing an appeal, granted an injunction against the A)ta or new line, proforma, and = mor a isselved it, The old line will appeal. Taat But or Sarz.—The editor of the Journal gives @ process of reasoning by which he arrives at the conelusion, from an expression used some weeke ago in the Democrat, that we once held a sham bill of sale for the Telegraph. We shall not attempt to controvert his system of logic, but will inform him that no kind ‘of a bill of sale, cither “sham” or ‘‘real,’’ waa ever “made by the editor of the Zelegraph to the editor of the Democrat,” nor have we ever said any thing by which such an inference eould be drawn. The bill of sale referred to was made by Mr. 8. Thomas; the property was mortgaged te him for the purchase money, and we considered him the “real” owner. More or Tom Beiu’s Gano.—Twe men said to have belonged to the gang ef highwaymen led by the noterious Tom Bell, were arrested in San Francisco, last Wednesday night. They were found in a drinking saloon. Their names are James Williams and Thomas Richards.— Another man named Peter Germain, who was fonnd in their company, was aleo arrested. — They were all well armed and seemed to be flush in funds. Convicrep.—Marion Whithurst, indicted for the murder of A. A. Mason, in Placer county, last May, was convicted on Tuesday the 16th, of murder in the second degree. The case was tried in San Francisco. Another man, indicted with Whithurst, is alec to be tried in San Francisco. ATLantio Parurs.—We are indebted te J. E.

Mr. Editor :—Did you ever see * man stand upon the ocean-shoré when the rushing tide was making its way inward, assume a commanding attitude, and with all the powers of his pigmy might ery in what Ae thinks thundering tones to the rolling waves? “Recede, recede!” Funny, was’at it? even so funny seems the windy efforts of some of our modern Nevada reformers, to ery down local evils which have existed since Nevada was a place, (only to a greater extent heretofore). Why cause the healing wound te bleed afresh? Why: stir up the dying embers and add fuel to the fire. This “qleereus eancer’”’ eentinues to decrease gradually year by yeas. Should we not be glad yea rejoice, that now we can say what could net be said afew years ago, that ‘this is a city where civilization, christian refinement, and virtuous families dwell.’’ Then let thanks dwell upon our lips and feelings of gratitude fill eur souls, that vice and immorality are declining in our midst, and virtue and purity steadily in the ascendent. “Over sealous virtue may be « vice, And fiying forward is sometimes sliding backward.’ Citizens of Nevada: suppose certain persons endowed with all the finer feelings of humanity, with power to speak in words of burning eloquence, gifted with that wisdom which winneth souls, should so far mistake the true state of affairs and injure the cause they try te sustain by advocating measures too severe, and using epithets altogether too harsh. Would you not say that their efforts may be well intended but badly directed; that they were incapable of contrasting the Nevada of 58 with the Nevada of 61-2, They were guilty of crying ‘danger, danger,’’ when there was no real danger. Their system of exposure don’t amonnt even to a negative, to say nothing of a positive good. Would you not say that such communications as ‘‘Parent,” and “Another Parent’? are addicted to writing, are calculated to prejudice the minds of those who have never been in Nevada against us, or give a false impress to the minds of virtuous families who purposed to make their home with us in this the best of California mountain towns. Mr. Editor—You may think this a little parodical or anti-utepian; but when pop-guns er any other kind of guns, are being blindly fired, I think those using the ‘shooting irons’’ should use a little more discretion, at least such is the opinion of Dap’s own Son. rious affair occurred near San Juan, in Munterey county, on Saturday night, the 13th inst: The house of a Mr. Odem, situated about two miles from San Juan, was consumed by fire about one o’clock, with all its inmates, consisting of the wife and four children of Mr, Odem, and a young lady named Rachel Burns, who was teaching schoel in the neighborhood and boarding with the family. Mr. Odem had left home the day before on a journey to the Four Creeks. The house wis one story, constructed of light materials and lined with cotton cloth, The chimney in which a fire had been burning was in the largest sitting room, adjoining which were two small bed roems; ene of these was occupied by Mrs. Odem and three ehildren, the other by Miss Burns and one child. There was a window in each room. The wind blew violently on the night the calamity happened, aud in such a direction as to blow the flames and smoke away from the reoms ocoupied by the inmates. An inquest was held upon the bodies, but nothing elicited which threw any light upon the terrible event. It remains in doubt whether the fire was the result of accident, or whether it was set purposely, and the inmates prevented from making their escape by the incendiaries, The bedies were so charred that ne evidence of violence could be discovered upon them, The San Jose Telegraph thinks thatif the family were murdered there would have been traces of violence upon the bedies of some of the victims, or some indication around the premises to show the foot prints of the assassin.

Man Soot in Stocxton.—A dispatch to the State Journal, dated at Stockton, March 2Ist, eays: A man, by the name of P. L. Riley, was shot by J. D. Burdick, this morning about 7 o’clock, in front of the Post Office. A feud had existed between the parties for sometime. This morning Riley eame up to Burdick, and after applying several insu ting epithets to him, drew a erg and snapped itathim, upon which B. rew and shot him in the neck, the ball passing downward and out under the left arm.

Woulda single member have voted for resolutions instructing our Senators Tequestiag our Representatives to vote for the admission of Kansas with the Lecomptoa Constitution, ifthe President had opposed such admission?

Farat Acctpmyt 1x Napa.—A most distressing accibent ocourred on Saturday afternoon on the farm of E.G. Winne, near this town, While in the field plowing, James Lennon was shot in the back, a little to the right of the spinal columa, by David Doak, receiving « wound of which he died the same evening. It seems that Doak was, at the fatal moment walking in an opposite direction with a shot gun upon his shoulder, when a projecting fragment of a fence rail caught and raised the gun hammer with sufficient force to explode the cap. An inquest was held on the body by G. W. Towle, acting Coroner, and a post mortem examination had by Destor Stelwagon, The verdict of the jary was in accordance with the statement here given — Napa Reporter, Feb 20th, P The following important business was transacted in the Assembly last Saturday : Mr. Batxovu asked leave to introduce the following resolution : Resolved, by the Assembly, the Senate eoneurring, That our Representatives in Congress be and they are herehy authorized and required to move and vote for the suspension of Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, from the floor of the House of Representatives until it can be ascertained. by a committee duly appointed by the Speaker, what was the ezact meaning of the lanage and action of suid Grow towards the Hon. r. Keitt, of South Carolina, pending the consideration of the Kansas qnestion in the House of Representatives on the morning of the 6th of Feb., A. D. 1858, or—resign. The House refused to suspend the rules to consider the resolution. Mr. Gray, of San Franeisco, asked leave to introduce the following : Resolved, That the Committee on Public Morala be hereby instructed to take into consideration the recent “personal diffieulty’’ between Messrs. Keitt and Grow, on the floor of the House of Representatives of the United States, and report to this house a resolution, or resolutions, expressing, in appropriate terms, the indignant horror of the majority of this House at the audacity of the Black Republican sectional agitator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Grow) in flogging a gentleman of purely national views and principles (Mr. Keitt) thus manifesting a spirit of opposition to the Constitution of the United States, and tothe measures and doctrines which will alone insure the perpetuity of our republican institutions and the preservation of our glorious Union. The resolution was read, Mr. Gray—Mr. Speaker, I move a suspension Lobe Fete. of the rules. that the question may be taken ome the passage of the resolution.
