Gold Bearing Quartz Of California.

We begin to think that the wonders of
California will never cease. The latest
and most extraordinary discovery, remarks
the Picayune, has been the almost mex
haustible masses or quarries of gold bearing
quartz, through the whole mountainous re-
gion which forms the western slope of the
Sierra Nevada.
1t appears by an account in the Pacific
News, that the Hon. L. Butler King de-
voted two entire months to the exploration
of the region, and would make full and
comprehensive report to the department
of State at Washington with regard to it.
The editor ofthe News thus describes some
specimens of the quartz that he had seen
inthe possession Of Mr.. Wright, one of the
members of Congress elect from California:
"They consist, for the most part, Of small
pieces Of quartz rock, generally Of a brown.
@ish tinge, and in some instances, present.
ing the appearance Of a slight incipient de.
cay, or decomposition, of the rock forma-
ton. nall these specimens the gold points
or particles, are very slightly, if at al
visible to the naked eye. The microscope
however, reveals she gold more clearly
Besides these pieces which Mr.. Wrigh'
has himself selected with great care, as The
fairest average samples Of the general ap.
pearance Of enormous and very numerous
veins, or quarries, of quartz, there is aise
one larger fragment ofthe same rock, weigh.
ing, we should suppose, some ten or twelve
pounds, from all parts Of which the gold
The Port Gibson herald, and correspondent. (Port Gibson, Claiborne Co., Miss.) 1848-18??, 1850-02-08

protrudes plainly iii state almost pure.
This single fragment of qartz, which Mr..
Wright by no meaus regards as an average
sample of the quarries, but which he pro-
nounces to be the richest rock specimen he
has seen, is found by the most careful spe4
cifc gravity test, as applied to it by Mr..
Wright, to contain pure gold to the amons
of about six hundrd dollars /"
Mr.. Wright has subjected some speei-
mems to most rigorous tests, with the fol
lowing remarkable results:
"In particular and very extensive vein,
four pounds Of this rock yielded, upon the
average, $ll worth of pure gold valued at
$40 to the ounce; that is to say, the yield Of
gold from these average samples Of the
rock in this particular vein is nearly 50 for
each pound ofquartz. Mr.. Wright exhibit
ed to US two small masses of gold, each Of
the size and shape of large musket bail,
and both presented the granulated appear
ance of gold extracted and collected BY the
aid of quicksilver. One Of these contains
abouut $12 of pure gold, and is the largest
yield which has been obtained from four
pounds Of the rock in question The other
contains about $40, and is the smallest
yield which has been obtained from any
oftheexperiments upon the rock Of This veins
"The samples of frock which Mr.. Wright
has tested have been taken from many DIFF
fcrent veins. In no sample tested has the
yield been less than one dollar TO the pound
of quartz. The average yield of the differ
ent veins has been, as determined by the
samples, from one dollar and half TO two
dollars to the poGnd Of rock.,,
In Georgia, the gold bearing quartz is
worth one dollar per one hundred pounds,
and is considered profitable at that.

MIR. Renton,s Texas Bill

On the 10Th instant, Mr.. Benton introdu-
ced his bill proposing to the State of Tex
as the reduction of her boundaries, the ces~
sion of her extreme territories, and the re-
linquishment of her claims upon the Uni
ted States. Mr.. Benton explained the bill,
and it was referred to the Committee on
the Judiciary. The bill is an important
one. We therefore copy il:
"a BILL proposing to the &ate Of Tsr4
as the reduction her boundaries, The ces-
SION Of her exterior territory, and the
relinquisltment Of all her cIainas Upon
the United States, for a consideration TO
be paid her By the United States.
BE IL enacted By the Senate and House

binding and obligatory upon the United
States and upon the said State of Texas.
lst. The State of Texas will reduce her

gitude.
I'd. When the population of said State
shall equal or exceed one hundred thousand
souls west of the line formed by the ninety
eighth degree Of west longitude. and by the
river Colorado, from its mouth TO its inter-
section by said parallel. then the State of
Texas will further reduce her westeru
to that line; and the part of Texas IYing
west of that lire, as reduced by the first
article of this agreement, shall be and re-
main separate State, entitled to immediate
admission into the Federal Union on an
equal footing with the original States.
Sd. The State of Texas cedes to the
United States all her territory exterior to
the limits to which she reduces herself by
the first article of this agreement.
4th. The State of Texas relinquishes all
claim upon the United States for liability
of the debts of Texas, and for compensation
or indemnity for the surrender to the Uni
ted States of her ships, ports, arsenals, Gus
tom houses, custom house revenue, arms
and munitions of war, and public bull
dings, with their sites, which became the
property of the United States at the time
of the annexation.
9th. The United States, in consideration
of said reduction of boundaries; cession of

Bile half-yearly at the Treasury of the Uni

Anecdotical "reminiscences of the late
Albert Gallatin.

From paper read by John r. Bartlett before
the Neac York Historical Society, Dec. 1919
GEN. JACKsoN's FIRST APPEARANCE IN
CoNGREss.-When Mr.. Gallatin was a
member of Congress in the year 1896, Ten
nesee was admitted as State into the I'm
ion, and sent her first member TO Washing
ton. One day, when in his seat in the
House, Mr.. Gallatin noticed tall, lanlk, un-
couth-looking individual, with long locks
of hair hanging over his brows and face,
while queue hung down his back tied in
an eelskin The dress of this individual
was singular-his manner and department
that of backwoodsman. The appearance
of so singular a character on the floor ofthe
House Of Representatives naturally attract
ed attention, and a member at his side as
ked who he was! Mr.. GaIlatin replied
that it was the member for the new State.
"Well," said his friend, ''he seems just the
sort Of chap one might expect from such
an uncivilized region as Tennessee. The
individual in question was Andrew Jack
son.
THOMAS JEFFERsoN.-For Mr.. Jefferson

VS.. JAN. TERM, 1850.
D.viJ Ronn

The Commercial Bank Of Rodney obtained a
judgment. in 1898, against the administrators OF
John Dur.iee deceased, for the sum Of $3.50.
In 1919, Bone filed an affidavit and caused a
process OF garnishrnent TO be issued, setting
forth that the Judgment had been assigned and
transferred to him by the assignees OF said
bank, and that he thereby become the real
plaintiff in the case, and calling upon the plain
tiff in error to appear and answer what she
owed the estate OF Durhee. She appeared and
took no exceptions, but answered that she was
indebted between ten and twenty thousand dol
lars. Judgment was rendered against her for
tea thousand dollars for which a writ Of error
was taken TO this court. The error complained
of is, that Bone con'd not legally sue out the
writ of garnisbment in his own name.
Clayton J-Held, that if this objection had
been made at proper time, in the court below, it
ought to have been sustained. Tine garnishee
has right to see that the Judgment against her
was valid, so as to protect her from further claim
upon the original judgment creditor, il this pro-
lection is secured, it is all that can be required
The judgment against the garnishee is trans
fer by operation of law OF the debt, from the
original Judgment debtor. to the garnishee. Fol
the purpose of such transfer, defect in the o:igi
nal Judgment cannot be looked into, if it be moi
absolutely void In this case no objection is
made to the original Judgment, but to the transfer
to Bone. Judgments are not assisnable so as
to pass the legal interest but will pass the equi
table interest, and confer a right to use the
name O. the judgment creditor Bone became
possessed Of the equitable title by transfer, witt
the power to use the name Of the plaintiff t
enforce it. Payment of the judgment by Nc
Gill would be discharge to all parties.
1t is now too late to question in this Court
the transfer to Bone; the answer is an admis
sion of the fact as it does not put it in issue
The proceeding by garnishment TO some extent
par:akes of The nature Of a suit, and the party
must be ruled to have moved defence at thu
proper time. Judgment affirmed.
