FORGERY AND Acknowledgment Dis
tuTbed. About two weeks ago, an individual by
the name OF Thomas Anderson, who had been a
clerk in the house OF w. Bend s. Co., OF the
city of New York, sojourned at Cincinnati when
desiring to add to his fiscal arrangements he drew
up letter OF credit, purporting to be signed by
his former employers. Upon the strength OF this
he raised by draft large sum Of money, and
continued his travels for parts unknown. The
letter of credit turned out to be forged. Our Ex-
press agents in this city received teegraphic
despatch communicating the above facts, where
upon they diligently set to work to discover the
precise locality of the gentleman whose presence
in Cincinnati was much desired by those whom
he "had done rather brotCn.''
1t was ascertained by telegraph that Anderson
was at Chicago, from which place after short
stay, he took passage for the east on the steam
boat Superior. On the arrival of the boat in this
city on Sunday last, Anderson landed, and in our
paper Of Monday evening we announced "by au-

CALIFORNIA as A STATE.

The Washington correspondent OF the Phila-
depha Ledger gives the following, as the three
leading features OF Mr.. Douglass's bill to make
a State of California
"First-All that portion of the territory Of the
United States, acquired by the treaty OF peace
with Mexico, shall be admitted into the Union as
one State Congress reSeruing itseTth right to
form as many netD States as 1t shall deem pro-
per, out of that portion of said State (Which lies
East of the summit Of the Sierra .NeuddG, or
California Mountains.
This clause is necessary, in order to guard
against that clause of the Constitution of the
United States, which says, that "new States may
be admitted by the Congress into this Union !;
but no State shall be formed or erected within
the jurisdiction of any other State, any State
be formed By the junction Of toe more States
withOut the consent of the Legislatures of the
States concerned, as ,oell as Congress
The second provision OF Mr.. Douglass's bill is,
that the said States shall be divided into two ju-
dicial districts tor holding the United States
Courts, to wit: the Eastern and Western Dis
trcts. The Western District will include the
country known as California the Eastern, the
country known as New Mexico and there is to
be District Judge, Attorney, and Marshal OF
the United States appointed in each OF said Dis
tricts, to hold courts three times year in each.
The Judges of the District Courts are to have
joint jurisdiction of Judges OF District and Cir
cult Courts, both; and an appeal shall be allow
ed directly to the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
The bill gives the new State two members
one for New Mexico, and the other for Caliior
MA and, of course, the same number of Sena-
tors.
The bill proposes to admit the territories, at
once, as State, leaving the people thereof to
frame their Constitution as they please, in order
to avoid the question of slavery at once, which
would come up again, even if now disposed of as
regards the territories, when they apply for ad-
mission States.
