But there are grave troubles breu;nr =
California A serious collision has taker
place between the Federal and State an.
thorities in San Francisco. Mr.. Frearer
the correspondent of the ": Y. P;seouyos
writes as follows to that paper on this sub.
Iject.
For some time a difficulty has existed il
reference to the right of our courts ~in,titn.
ted under u late State organization I,
exercise admiralty Jurisdiction. Ipresume
there would not have been any question a.
bout 1t, but that the collector of the DOR,
has very unnecessarily interfered in the
Administration Of justice, claiming for him.
sell certain powers in admiralty cases,
which the people Of the State of Califor.
MIA cannot and will not submit to-; and the
result has been that one party acting unde,
the collectors advice has been imprisoned
for contempt of court and compelled ia
comply with its acquisitions. A process
has also been issued for arrest of the board
ing officer of Mr.. Collier. What will be
the action in this case is yet to be seen at
the May session.
This conflict between the Federal and
State authorities and the delay of Congress
in admitting California into the Union, in
duced a very respectable number of our
citizens to call a meeting on the public
square. Collector Collier came forward
and attempted to deny some of the charges
made against him, and TO divert public at
tention from others. The Sheriff affirmed
then and proved them. The collector can
notdeny threatening to move the custom
house from this city, or his threat to one of
thejudges to convey vessels to sea under
the guns of the Warren in case they were
seized in certain cases by the officers of
thl country. Although these facts were
nd touched upon at the meeting, still they
are susceptible of proof at any time. The
meeting appointed a committee to report
resolutions to an adjourned meeting.
In view of the difficulties, and the inter-
NIL discussions between Northern and
S,uthern men in the State, and the delay
ofCongress to admit the State into the I'm
ioi, Mr.. F~resner speculates as follows. II
wll be seen that California, too, is catch
the spirit Of disunion:
/ assure you that unless Congress
does something for us very soon a move
mat will be made for independence. In
case Congress does not admit Ut this sess.
ion the separation Of California from the
Union is inevitable. A great many pro-
men in this country want to make
a move at once, and it is my opinion if the
question is sgitated it will be the cause Of
/ serious strife here between the Northern
md Southern men. The Southerners here
ire more determined than they are at home,
md they are confident that they have the
majority at present. OF n thing you may
'e sure, that on the subject Of disunion, in
Ease w are not admitted this session, there
8 no difference of opinion, and it behooves
he press on the Atlantic to concentrate
IL their power and influence to save Cali
to the Union.
All these things conspire to show the abb
olute necessity Of immediate action of
Congress in settlement of all perplexingI
questions about California and the Terri
cries. Let the compromise be passed att
nee and all will be well.

General Lopez arrived at New.Orlean.

Seventeen Of Lopez's men reached Saw.

The bow executed at Cardenas was nam.

had embarked with the belief of going Ia
California. The steamer Isabel sailed
from Havana on Friday, and arrived al
Charleston yesterday. She reports the
prisoners-oficers and crew of G~eorgiana
and Sarah undergoing trial; the trial was
not concluded when the Isabel sailed, It
was thought that the captains of the vessels
would be punished and the crews clear
ed.
The U. S. Steamer Saranac arrived at
Norfolk yesterday; her commander, Capt.
Tatnall, passed through Baltimore this
morning for Washington; he left Havana
on the 9th; before leaving that city, Capt.
Tatnall received assurances from the Span
ish authorities that the prisoners captured
by them would be honorably dealt with,
until advices were received from Wash
ington. The report that the Saranac had
been placed at the disposal of the authori-
ties in Cuba, and that the American Consul
had been arrested, was entirely without
foundation. The persons captured on the
late invading expedition were treated with
great kindness. The report of the shoot

will be sent home.

WASHINGTON, June 1913 p /.
HoUsE.-Mr. Ewing, Chairman of Mill
tary Committee, reported a bill to pay
Mexico for services on the frontier.
The house then went into Committee of
the whole on the California bill. MI. Bay
Iy offered an amendment to enable him
briefly to indicate his course on this sub
ject; it was something similar to the Miss
Ouri Compromise; he finally withdrew his
amendment. Mr.. Moore said that it was
apparent that the rights of the South on
the slavery question were not to be respec-
ted under any consideration.
The whole time of the House was taken
up by offers of amendments allowing men,
bsrs the privilege of making speeches; in
most Of these various scenes Of confusion
occurred. The Introduction Of the Miss.
ouri Compromise in California was warmly
discussed, without action being taken.

the war for independence, by Benson J. Los
sing. With ZOO engravings on wood, by
Losing & Barret, chiefly from original
sketches by the author, Harper q Brothers,
N. York, 1850.
The above is the title ofa work now is.
suing in numbers, for sale ut Stephensons.
II is one Of the most valuable publications
of the day. The typography is clear and
beautiful. The wood engmvings are far
superior to anything of the kind we ever
saw before, being almost equal in fipeness
to those on steel, and for landscape views
we consider them superior. Being truth
full representations, from sketches taken
on the spot, tho illustrations give us vivid
idea Of the scenes of the revolution and
tend mere than any work ever published to
FIX them firmly in the mind. A person
who reads this work will always be at home
in the history Of our glorious revolution.
When it is remembered that this is work
which cnn be read and re-read and handed
down to posteri.y, and never cease to be
interesting, everybody should go TO Steph.
ensons and secure copy. Go and ex-
anime II at least. Its execution is an hon.
or to American art, as its subject matter
ter must ever be 10 American valor.

This wonderful structure continues 10 ex.
cite the interest and admiration Of our
community and Of strangers visiting our

nnce, II hangs Us firmly Us if il would en-
dure forever. We neglected To- mention
TINT the DETECTION in the center is about
10 feet. Mr.. Calvin Sayre, Of this city,
we learn, wns the first to show his faith in
its strength, and passed over il on horse
back, and then drove over with a horse ind
buggy. That this was q matter which re.
quired true nerve may be imagined when
il is recOllected that the bridge was then
but an open platform, about nine feet in
width, without any guards at the sides, and
moreover, without the weights which are
necessary in these structures to hold them
down firmly, and prevent the vibration and
unsteady motion usually SO terrifying 70
horses. The vibration in this case wns
very great---the horse, however, was spir.
lied and courageous, and went on freely.
The slightest ialiering or swerving from

Sickness---Precaution.

The seasonis approaching when bilious
disorders, in some form, prevail through.
out the country. So far, the health Of this
plare, and indeed Of the entire western
country, has been good. A few cases Of
cholem have been reported from time to
time, along the great rivers. during the
spring. A few have been reported in Gin
cinnati, though it does not prevail there as
an epidemic. We have conversed with sew
eral gentlemen just from there, who all
say that it creates no alarm. Neverthe.
less, cholera or no cholera. it behooyes us
to guard ugainst sickness of all kinds during
the hot and sultry season, especially when
showers alternate rapidly with scorching
suns. Now is the time when our health
officers are called upon TO perform their
duty faithfully. Every pool Of standing
water should be drained; all accnmula-
tions Of filth should be removed; and q
strict surveillance exercised over every
part of the town, particularly in the alleys
and back part Of lots. 1t should not be
deferred until the sickness is upon US, for
it may then be to late, and valuable lives
may be sacrificed. The names Of the
health officers will be found on the fourth
page Of the Daily Dispatch, and our citi-
zens who know OF any existing cause Of
disease should make it known to the officer
ofthe ward, that Il may be removed. Too
much care cannot be taken, and the SOON
er the better.
