EnlDOrfanf Case.

The case of Blssell vs. Primrose, recently
decided 10 the United States Supreme Cour at
Washington, establishes the iIie 10 very large
amount of properly lying near ST. Louis. The
case was an appeal from he u. S, Circuit
Court of Missouri, which had decided in favor
of Primrose, and this decision has been af-
firmed by the Supreme Court. The property
in question consisted of from FIVE TO six hun
dred acres lying north of ST. Louis, and esti-
mated 10 be worth S5O0,00O, though includ-
ing damages for occupation, &c, the amount in
question may swell 10 100000. Blssell
claimed under what is called a " New Madrid
LOCATION" against prior Spanish grant and
subsequent confirmation, and the decision
labllshes the superiority of The Spanish grant.
Blssell has been in possession of his property
for twenty-six years, and other parties, whose
interests affected by The decision, for near
ly The same length of time. Another case, lha,
of SIoddard vs.. Mills, which involves a large
amour. of property lying ives, of ST. Louis,
has been decided on The same principles, since
the foregoing decision was made; and there is
still another pending, tha, of Menard's heirs VS..
Massey, which may be affected by the same
principles.

California Indian ms.

A correspondent of the Salem Register, writing
from the Gold Mines on the Yuba River, 2S6 miles
from San Francisco, says:
The Indians have seen in California, are the
most miserable looking wretches | ever saw; the
poorest clad and the worst featured Of any of the
human family under the sun. They poor,
cowardly race of men, living upon roots, nuts and
acorns. Game they make but little account Of
We have numbers of them around our camp every
day. Most generally they are in a state Of nudity ;
but some of them wear shirt, while others are
dressed as well as any of the miners. We have
employed few Of them for short time. They
will do good days work, for which we usually
give them quart Of -four, little fine salt, and
pint Of sugar. They are just as well satisfied
with these, as Yankee would be with his SI4
per day. Some of them will pan out dirt from
some deserted claim, and perhaps obtain thereby
from four to twelve dollars, which they always
spend with u.s. We sell flour to them for ST. so
per pint sugar ditto, and salt for $50 dollars per
pound. Of this latter article we have large sup
ply, and have sold the Indians considerable of it.
They are very fond Of it, and eat it. as our Yankee
boys and girls would eat confectionery. If one
manages right, much money can be derived from
trading with and employing them.

HOW THE LOCOFOCOs ARE HELD
TOGETHER.

The CoheSiUe Poper Of Public Plunder.-There
are few men in the Loccfoco party, in Pennsyl-
vana, who play The game Of corruption boldly
that they actually disarm opposition by their open
and avowed disclosure Of their degrading senti-
ments. We were struck with the truth of this re-
mark, few days ago, when Mr.. Porter of North
ampton. in his speech in opposition to the election
OF Judges by the people, boldly declared that,
when member Of the Convention which formed
the present Constitution. he warned his brother Lo-
coiocos 10 that Convention, that if they went as
they had begun, TO deprive the Governor of his
patronage, the Locofoco party in the State ofPenn
sylyania. would soon be broken up and that he de-
sired TO repeat the warning to his brother Locofo-
cos in the present House of Representatives
Was there ever more bold, yet truthful admission
that the Locofoco party are held together by the
cohesive power of public plunder!" But Mr..
Porter. instead of qualifying his language when
this construction was put upon it, seemed TO glory
and exult in the fact, and made no attempt what
ever TO explain away the force Of the declaration.
Mr. Porter further declared that the proposed
amendment, or any change in the Constitution,
giving the election Of Judges to the people, would
have the effect Of giving at least twotkirds Of the
Judges TO the Wing party, and this was another
reason why he opposed it.
The people may now determine for themselves
the true cause Of the bitter opposition manifested
by the leaders of the Locofoco party to the passage
of this important measure.-TeLegraph.

The Appor,ionment Bill, which w

published last week, meets with decided condem-
nation. Even portion Of the Locofoco Press,
condemn it as an unjust affair-as great imposi-
,ion upon the people. The Locofocos of Craw-
fard county have presented petitions against the
passage of this Bill and even the editor Of the
Pennsylvania unscrupulous as he is everywhere
acknowledged to be, repudiates and condemns it
as gross and daring outrage upon the rights OF
the people. 1t is too much for his strong stomach;
and we do not remember that he was ever known
to gag at any iniquity, however foul and nauseat-
ing. before.
A minority report has since been made, which
possesses some little fairness, in contradstinction

Mr. Clay proposes territorial governments, with
no Slavery restrictions on either side, thus

The Lower Glasses.

While dining at public house. very profane
man was leading the conversation, and very in
dignantly alluded to some previous remarks made
in reference TO the lower classes.
With an air of consequence, accompanied by an
oath, he remarked-I should like to see some OF
the lower classes.
A person sitting near him at the table, remarked
-" If you will not be offended will tell you who
they are"
90 no, not at ALL should like to hear"
The other cooly replied They are generally
addicted to profane swearing"
Silence ensued, and the man of profane words
exhibited no further desire to see some OF the low
er classes.

and transfer il 10 their college a, Gettysburg.
The German Reformed will raise like sum,
